A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 376 The culprit

Chen Jinnian planned to inform Qiao Yingzi of the news first, but he didn't expect the other party to tell him something unexpected first.

After Song Qian went to the cram school, he and Wang Yidi quietly sneaked into Qiao Yingzi's house. The first thing they asked as soon as they entered the door was: "Ji Yangyang is having a conflict with his family. What's going on?"

"Don't mention it." Qiao Yingzi had already changed her clothes and was looking for her key in the cabinet at the entrance.

"Ji Yangyang's uncle invested in a racing team and planned to have Ji Yangyang participate to fulfill his racing dream. It was originally a good thing, but after Ji Yangyang went home and talked to his parents, he encountered strong opposition and the discussion broke down right in front of Huang Zhitao."

"That shouldn't be the case. Yang Yang has participated in the karting team before."

Chen Jinnian said with a little confusion. According to his understanding of Ji Yangyang's family, Liu Jing would definitely support it. Ji Shengli might not, but at least he would not oppose it.

"Not a go-kart, but a real car, for the Dakar Rally early next year."

"What the hell? Is Liu Zheng crazy? He actually let Yang Yang participate in this kind of competition." Chen Jinnian said in surprise.

As a car fan outside the circle, he knew very little about the world's toughest rally. However, there was one thing that Chen Jinnian knew, that is, people died in this rally almost every year.

With Ji Yangyang's physical condition, it was absolutely impossible for him to survive this arduous endurance race. Chen Jinnian thought he was awesome that he was able to complete half the distance.

"Is it very dangerous?" Wang Yidi asked.

"Well, many cars can't hold on, let alone people. For a novice like Yang Yang, participating in the competition is no different from dancing on a grave. Tell me, is it dangerous?" Chen Jinnian said with a headache. He really couldn't understand what Liu Zheng and Ji Yangyang, the uncle and nephew, were thinking.

Is it because you have no material worries that you start to make things difficult for yourself?

"Where is Yang Yang? I have to go see him."

"It's just right. I want to go too. Let's go together. He and Taozi should be at his uncle's house." Qiao Yingzi said as she quickly put the keys and cell phone she found into her bag and left with the two of them.

On the way, Chen Jinnian figured out the location of Ji Yangyang and the other person. They were not at Liu Zheng's house at all, but in a hotel with which Liu Zheng's company had a long-term cooperation.

"Deng deng deng"

Huang Zhitao opened the knocking door and asked in surprise, "Why are you all here?"

"Yeah." Chen Jinnian nodded sullenly, then walked in and asked, "Where's Yang Yang? I need to ask him today if he's just bored and wants to participate in a rally. Doesn't he know what he's capable of?"

Ji Yangyang has indeed been driving track karting for many years, but his experience is completely different from rally racing on non-paved roads.

Hearing the noise outside, Ji Yangyang came out of one of the bedrooms and said defensively, "I can learn. I still have more than half a year to prepare. I think I can do it."

"I'll let you learn."

Chen Jinnian yelled and angrily threw the pillow on the sofa in the living room, then rushed forward and started wrestling with Ji Yangyang.

The other three girls were stunned. They all thought that the two would just have a quarrel, but they didn't expect that they would start fighting before they even had a few words.

Wang Yidi quickly closed the door of the hotel suite, while Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao rushed over to separate them.

Ji Yangyang, who was wrestling with Chen Jinnian, was also a little confused. First, he didn't understand why the other party wanted to beat him. Second, he and Chen Jinnian were not in the same weight class and could not beat him at all.

After just a few seconds, Ji Yangyang was knocked down by Chen Jinnian and pinned to the ground, unable to move.

"Let me go."

"Haha, I can let you go, but first tell me why you want to participate in the rally." Chen Jinnian pressed

"The purpose of life is to challenge nature. I am taking part in the Dakar Rally to challenge the desert and the storm. As long as I succeed, I will have conquered nature and become a true warrior."

Ji Yangyang's confident words made Chen Jinnian's nose crooked with anger.

"You think you can conquer nature? You conquered nature, what the hell? If an ant crawls on your head, can you say that the ant conquered you?"

"Besides, you're even worse than an ant. At least they rely on their legs. You drove out of the desert and claimed you conquered nature. What's the logic behind that? Do you think the desert or the storm will obey you? Who do you think you are?"

Chen Jinnian could only summarize Ji Yangyang's behavior in one sentence: he is a loser and likes to commit suicide.

He couldn't control other people, as life and death were their own choices. But Ji Yangyang was his friend, and he needed to find out whether the other party was aware of his foolish behavior.

After being scolded by Chen Jinnian, Ji Yangyang knew that his excuses were untenable and had no choice but to confess the truth. "Isn't it okay for me to pursue excitement? Becoming a racing driver is my dream. Now that I have the opportunity, I certainly don't want to miss it."

After hearing the truth, Chen Jinnian angrily let go of the other person and stood up from the ground.

Seeing this, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao quickly lent a hand and pulled the battered Ji Yangyang up from the ground.

"There are rallies in the country. Why don't you sign up for one? Why do you have to choose the hell start?" Chen Jinnian said angrily.

"The domestic organizers are very poor in terms of professionalism, and they require all sorts of paperwork and driver's licenses. Instead of wasting time on these, I'd rather just go directly with my uncle's team to participate in the Dakar Rally. At least they're more formal there and they welcome amateur drivers like us."

Ji Yangyang said as he moved his wrist which was pinched purple.

"Heh, you even know you're an amateur." Chen Jinnian said sarcastically.

"Okay, just say less." Wang Yidi hit his shoulder, signaling Chen Jinnian to shut up.

Whether it is rally racing, F1, or even playing with modified cars, they are all quite a small circle in China. Although car companies are hyping up the off-road culture one after another, in fact, it is just like boys buying imitation guns, all for show. There are indeed people who buy them, but most of them still drive on the road.

So everyone present actually disagreed with Ji Yangyang participating in the rally, and Huang Zhitao was particularly opposed to it. It was bad enough that she had parents that made her worry, but she really didn't want to have a boyfriend that made her worry.

Before Chen Jinnian arrived, Huang Zhitao had again advised Ji Yangyang to give up his plan to go to Dakar.

"Why did your uncle suddenly invest in a fleet of cars? Does he have money but nowhere to spend it?" Chen Jinnian asked.

"Yeah, didn't you give the money?" Ji Yangyang glanced at him.

Noticing that everyone was looking at him, he hurriedly explained, "When did I ever give him money? Stop spitting blood at me."

"Why not you? My uncle had an investment in your TV series. The dividends arrived a few days ago, and he immediately invested it all in the team, making himself the majority shareholder. That's why I had the opportunity to participate in the Dakar Rally with the team."

Rally is not something that can be participated by one person alone, it also requires logistical support. Ji Yangyang could only dream about it before, but he didn't expect that Chen Jinnian's assist would make his dream come true.

Chen Jinnian was stunned. He looked at them blankly, not expecting that the source was actually himself.
