I watched Su Yan's complex and sinister eyes in the crowd, feeling as though an invisible hand was tightly gripping my heart. The sensation of being torn apart was more intense than any race I had ever experienced.
In that moment, all shadows surged like a tide, heralding a truth about to be revealed. I took a deep breath, preparing to face the final judgment.
"Sun Haoran, do you think winning the race means you can win everything?" Su Yan's mocking voice pierced through the noise, striking my eardrum as she stepped closer, her hourglass figure accentuated by the night, appearing particularly alluring.
A strange smile played on her lips. "You hypocrite, do you remember how you abandoned me back then?"
Her gaze turned frenzied, her finger nearly poking my chest. "You climbed up the ladder for your so-called racing dream, using me as a stepping stone! Now, what are you? Just a fool who relies on women to get ahead!"
The cheers around us suddenly froze, all eyes focusing on us, slicing through my skin like knives.
I felt adrenaline surge, anger boiling violently in my chest, wanting to tear apart her ugly facade.
"Me, a hypocrite?" I scoffed, suppressing my overwhelming rage. "I ask myself if I've ever wronged you. It’s you who trampled on my sincerity time and again for vanity and money!"
Su Yan's expression twisted in an instant; her smile froze on her face, revealing a hint of savagery. "Yes! I am scheming! I pursue fame and fortune! So what?! In this world, even breathing is a mistake for the weak!"
Her tone suddenly sharpened like a blade. "Do you think you're a good person? You're just another pawn I've played with!"
Suddenly, a familiar figure broke through the crowd—Su Yu. She rushed to Su Yan's side and grabbed her arm, pulling her behind herself.
"Sis! That's enough!" Su Yu's voice trembled slightly, but her gaze was resolute, her enchanting eyes shimmering with complex emotions.
She looked at me, a flicker of barely perceptible pain and determination crossing her features. "Hao Ran Brother, I will never let you fight alone."
Her voice was soft yet carried an undeniable strength. "I know everything; I will help you expose their true faces."
Her chest rose and fell rapidly; her graceful figure appeared especially enticing in the night, like a thorny rose—vibrant and dripping with allure.
"What?!" Su Yan suddenly shook off Su Yu's hand, disbelief and shock filling her eyes as if she had been betrayed by someone closest to her.
At that moment, a sinister laugh echoed through the crowd as Sun Kai strode forward, his tall and handsome figure appearing particularly arrogant under the neon lights.
"What a great show," Sun Kai smirked, a cruel smile curling at the corners of his mouth as he disdainfully scanned us. "Too bad the ending of this play has already been written by me."
He toyed with a remote control in his hand and casually pressed a button. Suddenly, a clear recording flashed across the large screen at the racetrack.
The recording was a secret conversation between Su Yan and Sun Kai, detailing how they conspired against me, manipulating the race through various means. It even included a segment about Su Yu secretly providing me with information.
My heart sank; the "great conspiracy" Wei Dong had mentioned was far deeper than I had imagined.
Su Yan's face turned pale in an instant. She never expected her secrets would be so ruthlessly exposed by Sun Kai.
Sun Kai grinned maliciously, his voice like that of a demon from hell. "On the racetrack, controlling the game and winning is the greatest victory. Do you think winning the race means you've won at life? Fool!"
He pointed at me, his eyes filled with provocation and mockery. "You are merely my plaything; everything about you is under my control!"
I struggled to contain the boiling anger within me, my fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles turned white.
I lifted my head, my gaze burning like flames as I stared directly at Sun Kai. "Do you really think you control everything?"
No longer hesitating, all my rage and resentment transformed into boundless strength at that moment. I had to break this dark game and reveal the truth!
I suddenly raised my hand and pressed a hidden button inside my racing suit, a "gadget" Wei Dong had given me earlier.
Instantly, the large screen at the racetrack displayed Sun Kai's earlier conversation with Su Yan in another way—through my mechanical talent, I had already converted Sun Kai's remote signal into reversible tracking sound waves and linked it to the racetrack's broadcasting system.
At the same time, the mini-camera inside my racing suit activated its recording function, capturing Sun Kai's sinister expression and everything he had said.
Everyone was stunned. They watched in shock as Sun Kai's arrogance and Su Yan's disgrace unfolded on the big screen, and an uproar of angry discussions erupted among the crowd.
"You!" Sun Kai's face turned ashen in an instant. He had not anticipated that my counterattack would be so swift and thorough. His smile froze on his face, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
"Now, who is the real winner?" I looked at him coldly, a mocking smile curling at the corners of my mouth.
Sun Kai's scheme had been completely exposed. He had plotted meticulously, yet he never expected that I had kept this move in reserve. This sudden reversal shattered him completely.
I walked over to the racing car, gently caressing the cold tires. All my emotions found their ultimate release in that moment.
I had won the race and regained my dignity.
Beside me stood Su Yu, her gaze complex as she looked at me. I knew she had sacrificed so much for me.
She reached out her hand, her fingertips icy, as if inviting me into an unknown maze.
I stared at her hand, hesitating for a moment. In the end, I did not take it; instead, I looked towards the sky beyond the racetrack, where dawn was breaking.
---
The sky began to lighten, a gentle breeze blowing through, bringing a hint of chill as if announcing the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.
Where would my life lead me now?
