Chapter 2809 Tampered with it twice
According to the rules, the winning guest will have the opportunity to board a luxury yacht rented by the production team and enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner at sea.
The chef in charge of dinner was a top chef specially invited by the program team from a seven-star hotel.
This arrangement immediately piqued everyone's interest.
The afternoon session is for the main guest's match; family members do not need to participate.
Lee Ji-eun had a leg injury, so the production team originally planned to have Nika compete in her place.
However, in order to maintain her public image of hard work and perseverance, Lee Ji-eun insisted that she could finish the competition.
She emphasized that she really wanted to take this opportunity to have a head-on confrontation with Tokino.
The director joked, "Haven't you guys already had several rounds of competition? What, are you unwilling to admit defeat?"
Lee Ji-eun responded with a hint of reproach: "Director, as the saying goes, you shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings, so please don't tease me."
But you're right, I really want to beat him once and prove myself.
Seeing her resolute attitude, the director smiled and nodded, "Since you're so determined, let's get ready to begin!"
Soon after, several cool-looking and powerful beach buggies were driven onto the beach by the staff.
The male guests present were all eager to try out the cars and seemed particularly excited.
Lee Ji-eun was also in high spirits.
This is her forte; she's sure to win.
She was also secretly planning that if she won, she could have a candlelight dinner.
I'll invite Tokino to join me then.
He should agree, right?
Seeing that Shi Ye was also interested, Xia Lin asked him, "Brother Shi Ye, have you ever driven one of these before?"
Tokino nodded. "Yes, I've tried it a few times."
Charlene looked at his spirited and triumphant eyes.
I felt that he was completely different from his usual self, like a completely different person.
It turns out that he thoroughly enjoys and is full of passion when facing racing, as if the whole world is nothing but speed and a sense of control.
Charlene couldn't help but laugh and said sincerely, "Then I wish Brother Shiye continued success in winning championships."
Also, please be sure to pay attention to safety.
Tokino gave a brief "Okay".
Soon, everyone got into the car, ready to experience the car's performance.
Shino strode forward with his long legs and nimbly got into the driver's seat.
However, only a short while later...
He suddenly frowned, turned to the director with a serious expression, and said in a solemn tone, "Director, there's something wrong with the brakes on this car."
The director was taken aback and asked in confusion, "How could that be?"
Before coming, it was checked and confirmed several times.
Shino smiled calmly and said, "It's alright, I can handle it."
Then he bent down to begin the examination.
The director's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
In fact, the production team did tamper with the brakes.
However, it was only very slight.
His intention was to make Shino's vehicle experience a slight, imperceptible loss of control under certain conditions, such as encountering a slope or road obstacles, thus giving Lee Ji-eun some time to win the race.
I thought this arrangement was discreet enough and wouldn't be discovered.
But to everyone's surprise, Tokino's perception of vehicles was so acute.
He noticed the extremely subtle anomaly shortly after getting into the car.
Soon, Tokino identified the problem and began troubleshooting the braking system.
After a while, it was finally okay.
Seeing this, the director's smile became a little stiff, and he praised, "As expected of Shi Ye, you are really amazing, you can even do this."
However, Charlene, who was watching from the sidelines, keenly noticed something unusual.
She observed all of this quietly, feeling that the director's apology and praise didn't seem to be very sincere.
Moreover, his smile seemed somewhat forced.
Charlene had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she hesitated to confront her suspicions.
After all, surely no one would dare to tamper with the production team, right?
Are you crazy?
Who would take such a big risk?
With such complex and contradictory thoughts in mind, she kept her eyes glued to Shino's progress in the match.
Despite her efforts to convince herself, the doubt lingered like a tiny thorn in her mind.
She felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something was about to happen, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Once the race officially started, Shino and Lee Ji-eun, both professional race car drivers, quickly got into the zone.
And without a doubt, they demonstrated their superb driving skills and outstanding professionalism.
Even on the soft sand track, the two were still able to maneuver their cars skillfully and easily complete difficult drifts and tail-sliding maneuvers.
This scene thrilled the others present, who screamed with excitement.
After a while, as the match was about to end, Shino was about to win with an absolute advantage.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred at the last turn before reaching the finish line.
Tokino's race car suddenly stalled.
This unexpected situation caught everyone on site off guard.
However, Tokino remained calm and composed despite the situation.
He immediately gripped the steering wheel tightly, trying to control the vehicle's posture and avoid the sudden stop causing it to lose control and overturn.
With his extensive experience and excellent emergency response skills, he managed to bring the race car to a safe stop, ensuring his own safety.
At the same time, Lee Ji-eun seized the opportunity, accelerated across the finish line, and won the race.
Unable to contain her excitement, she cheered and celebrated on the spot.
The other groups also gradually surpassed Shi Ye and finished the competition.
The director then pretended to quickly step forward and inquired with concern about the cause of Tokino's vehicle malfunction.
Tokino responded casually, "It stalled. There's probably something wrong with it."
The director nodded and said, "Thank goodness, it's good that everyone is alright."
He didn't show it on his face, but he felt a little scared inside.
As a result, Tokino came in last place again.
Charlene's heart sank slightly when she saw this.
Then, she frowned and began to think repeatedly about the series of unexpected events.
It was an accident, you could say it was an accident.
Perhaps it wasn't due to those two unexpected events?
Are the production team really that audacious as to tamper with the car?
The thought sent a chill down her spine.
If that's the case, then they're playing with Tokino's personal safety, which is completely irresponsible!
How dare they?
Charlene's face gradually turned grim, a mixture of worry and anger.
When Shi Ye returned to Xia Lin's side, he clearly noticed the strangeness in her expression.
He seemed to have guessed what she was angry about.
He didn't speak, but simply raised his warm palm and gently rubbed her head.
The man's movements were gentle, as if he were comforting her, telling her: It's okay, don't worry, and don't make a fuss.
