"Everyone has secrets," Fu Yunshen said indifferently, "he didn’t tell, I didn’t ask."
He paused for a moment, his eyelashes fluttering slightly as he let out a light laugh, "Yaoyao, don’t be fooled by his playful grin and his jokes all day, thinking he’s a happy-go-lucky guy. He’s different from Nie Chao."
"Nie Chao is genuinely an optimistic fool, but he’s not."
Just as Qin Lingyan didn’t know about his past, he also didn’t know about Qin Lingyan’s history.
So whatever Qin Lingyan needed, he would help.
Ying Zijin closed her eyes slightly, "To be so young and have achieved so much, nobody has it easy."
Effort doesn’t always lead to results, but without effort, there are definitely no results.

At this time.
In S Country, Heba State.
Heba State is three hundred kilometers from the filming location of "Elf Queen" and is also where the Cohen Family resides.
Within the whole of O Continent, the Cohen Family might not count as a major clan, but here in Heba State, they are the absolute rulers with some influence.
They’re involved in underground racing, smuggling, and numerous grey market dealings, and they have a Mercenary Group under them.
This time, the Manson Family’s hosted F1 race, the Cohen Family had also sent their racing team.
Everyone wanted to earn a high ranking, to attract the attention and investment of the Manson Family’s resources.
In the previous sessions, it was the Cohen Family that secured the third spot.
And only the top three mattered.
But with each F1 event, the rankings are reevaluated.
If they can’t maintain their ranking, the Manson Family would immediately withdraw their resources.
So this F1 race was also crucial for them.
"Family Head," the steward hurried in from outside and whispered something into the Cohen Family Head’s ear, "However, because the dose of the poison was limited, their racers were all unharmed."
"It’s enough," the Cohen Family Head waved his hand dismissively, "Those other racers are of no real talent, as long as Xiu Yu has an issue, that’s all that matters."
The Cohen Family Head was well aware of his own limitations.
When it comes to racing, they were far inferior to the other two families.
Moreover, those two families had consistently occupied the resources and territories invested by the Manson Family, and the Cohen Family couldn’t make a move against them.
Anyone who had followed the races from a few years back would definitely not forget Xiu Yu.
Even as just a navigator, she received more attention than the racer who won first place.
But later, Xiu Yu disappeared for five years, and the Xiu Family stopped participating in F1 races as well.
So the Cohen Family Head hadn’t taken it to heart. freewebnøvel.coɱ
But this time, he saw the Xiu Family on the qualifying list, with Xiu Yu leading as the racer.
The Cohen Family Head certainly didn’t want to see Xiu Yu lead their team and squeeze the Cohen Family out of the top three.
He had to play some tricks.
The poison wouldn’t kill, it would just weaken someone for a few months.
His goal was simply to prevent Xiu Yu from participating in the F1 race.
"I heard there are quite a few miraculous doctors in Hua Country, so I had the message passed directly to the Xiu Family," the Cohen Family Head clicked his tongue, "Let’s see, are they willing to lose their entire family, or just sacrifice the life of their young miss."
The Xiu Family was indeed a top-tier family in the Hua Country Imperial Capital, but that was only in the Imperial Capital.
In the grand scheme of the world, they were minuscule.
Far less significant than the Cohen Family.
They wouldn’t dare to cross them.

Imperial Capital.
Xiu Family.
The message from the Cohen Family was delivered directly into the hands of Old Master Xiu.
After hearing the message, he closed his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Send a message back to the Cohen Family, give up on Xiu Yu."
Old Master Xiu was actually supportive of Xiu Yu reorganizing the racing team and competing in O Continent.
Securing a top three rank would bring resources, which would be good for the Xiu Family.
But now that things had come to this.
She thought she was about to meet Death given the dizzying suffocation she felt at that time.
"Yes, you’re all right, and I’m not an Angel." Ying Zijin cut a piece of apple and fed it to her, "What were you going to say about the plane? Was someone poisoning you?"
Xiu Yu paused, her expression slightly somber, "It seems so. The aircraft was sent by the Manson family to pick up the racing teams from Hua Country. There were more than just the Xiu team onboard—seven other racing teams."
"Several flight attendants and the pilot were also from the Manson family."
Ying Zijin nodded lightly and cut another piece of apple.
With the apple finished, Xiu Yu regained some strength and propped herself up in bed, "Daddy Ying, you said that the car accident I was involved in was likely orchestrated by our race team’s rivals, and I’ve been very careful."
"That’s why I didn’t have the airplane meal and didn’t let the other drivers have it either. We brought bread instead and, just to be safe, I took the Pill you always told me to carry, but still..."
She truly didn’t understand how she was poisoned.
But the only suspect was the airplane.
"Hmm." Ying Zijin nodded slightly, "It’s a poison from O continent, a bit different."
"Oh." Xiu Yu didn’t understand these things, but she felt much better, "Can I still race like this?"
"No!"
"Yes."
Two voices sounded simultaneously.
The former was Xiu Shaowan.
She was holding a bowl of porridge, "Xiao Yu, you’re like this and you still want to race?"
After finishing speaking, she turned to the girl, "Miss Ying, don’t indulge her, she’s used to being spoiled. In any case, she absolutely cannot go back to the racetrack."
Such an incident had occurred even before getting back to the track.
Who knows if it would be a direct car accident once they were up there?
Xiu Yu lazily replied, "Aunt, there’s a problem with what you’re saying. Of course, he should spoil me since he’s my dad, right, Daddy Ying?"
Xiu Shaowan: "...would you dare say that in front of Shaoning?"
"The race doesn’t start until next week, that’s enough time," Ying Zijin wiped his hands and looked up, "Who called you?"
Xiu Shaowan was taken aback, not understanding the question, but still replied, "Heba State, Cohen."
Ying Zijin simply said, "Good."
