Chapter 238: Love hurts
He gave Qie Xieling a chance to redeem himself. It was a way out. All he had to do was throw the championship and let Bager win. He placed money on Bager and if Bager won, he would win back twenty times what Qie Xieling stole.
But this asshole didn’t appreciate it. He won the championship resulting in further losses. Seething in anger, Luo Muchen flicked the cigarette away and clutched Qie Xieling’s collar forcing him to get up.
His face contorted with the pain of his recent substantial losses caused by Qie Xieling. This man was on the brink of living in the street with his stupid manager after his ninth loss. He had lost his sponsors when rumours of drug use and violent behaviour circulated all over the internet. He was blacklisted but Luo Muchen picked him up from the trash and told him to race for him. When no one else could help him not even his manager, Luo Muchen helped him. All he had to do was be obedient and make him money but like the farmer and the frozen snake, the snake turned around and bit him.
With a tight grasp on Qie Xieling’s collar, he forced him to stand upright, his voice dripping with venom as he spoke through gritted teeth. "You think I was born yesterday? Your fake concern won’t save you."
As Luo Muchen’s intense gaze bore into Qie Xieling’s eyes, a flicker of doubt began to rise within him. However, before he could fully confront it, a voice called his name from behind.
Bager, made his presence known, and Luo Muchen’s attention momentarily shifted away from Qie Xieling. With a slight loosening of his grip on Qie Xieling’s collar, Luo Muchen suppressed his rage, banishing it to the depths of his being.
His voice adopted an unexpectedly soft tone, almost coaxing, as he engaged in conversation with Bager. "What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay put at the hotel and I will meet you there."
Bager glanced at Qie Xieling with a hint of mockery in his eyes before smiling at Luo Muchen while replying, "I just couldn’t wait."
"Get in the car and wait for me. I will be done soon," he said and raised his hand to touch Bager’s shoulder.
Qie Xieling’s heart shattered into countless pieces his breathing stagnant. His eyes felt sour witnessing Luo Muchen being kind to someone else. It was an unbearable anguish that stemmed straight from his soul.
In this turbulent moment, the swirling emotions of anger, jealousy and pain wove a complex tapestry within his heart. He had never wanted to kill anyone but right now he had killed Bager several times in his head.
Something suddenly snapped when he remembered why the name Bager was familiar. It was the asshole who teamed up with Luo Muchen, the one he fought online with. "Leong Jinn," he whispered through gritted teeth.
’Hahaha, finally you have caught on. Took you long enough. You little weasel let me believe you liked Lee Ya but it turns out you had the hots for your friend. I should have known,’ said Leong Jinn in Qie Xieling’s mind while spinning in his swivel chair.
He couldn’t believe that this little weasel was more interested in his close friend rather than his half-sister. When he found that out he couldn’t wait to fuck with him.
’You are going to watch him fall in love with somebody else and there is nothing you... can do about it,’ he said before tossing peanuts into his mouth.
Qie Xieling’s body trembled in anger while staring at them with his red-rimmed eyes. The system that had been silent for a long time finally sent a notification.
The panel was vastly different from that in the first world. It seemed Leong Jinn had tweaked it just to spite him. Even the characters had the same names as them and this was meant to mess with him.
Plot: Qie Xieling a disgraced racing star blacklisted by all major race competitions in the world had no choice but to race underground which almost killed him.
That was until he met the triad boss at one of his street races. He gave him a helping hand and took him in. All he had to do was race for him and win him money. The triads would sponsor him in the background under the guise of legitimate businesses.
This arrangement worked well for a very long time but Qie Xieling became greedy. President Luo noticed his tail was growing longer so he decided to cut Qie Xieling loose.
Qie Xieling knew from the moment that Bager stepped into their world he was going to get discarded. He had no idea what sort of relationship Bager had with Luo Muchen but either way, it irked him.
Out of anger, he managed to steal a lot of money from the organisation intending to retire somewhere far. But he happened to stumble upon confidential information that could burn Luo Muchen’s empire to the ground.
He took that information and arranged to meet with the Eastside triads. Luo Muchen found out that he had been betrayed and robbed but he still cared for Qie Xieling so he gave him a second chance. But he was slapped in the face and Qie Xieling betrayed him again.
Mission: Help Luo Muchen return to the top of the food chain and destroy his rivals.
Qie Xieling didn’t even focus on the stupid plotline. He was seething in anger watching Bager’s hand caress Luo Muchen’s arm.
He let out a soft scoff causing the two people to look at him. He picked up the cinder block attached to his feet and got up with great difficulty.
"What are you doing?" said the bodyguard as he rushed over but Luo Muchen stopped him. He was curious to see what Qie Xieling wanted to do. In fact, he thought he didn’t have the balls to do it.
He had a cowardly nature. The only time he showed his prowess and fearlessness was on the race track.
’What are you doing?’ asked Leong Jinn, ’you crazy bastard.’
After saying this he initiated the punishment to knock him out but it was already too late. With a loud splash, the cinder block fell into the water. With his hands tied in front of him, Qie Xieling followed.
Everyone, "..."
