Chapter 148 Uncovering the Mastermind
Chapter 148 Uncovering the Mastermind
Wu Xixi stared at the contents of her phone, her lips trembling, unable to utter a word for a long time.
His legs felt as if their tendons and bones had been removed, and they were so weak that he would have collapsed to the ground if he hadn't been holding on.
"Mr. Song...Mr. Song, I...I..."
Wu Xixi attempted to fabricate another lie that could be made to stand out.
But at this moment his mind was blank, and his usual ability to make up stories had vanished without a trace.
At this moment, Han Yu also saw the contents of the phone, suddenly stood in front of Wu Xixi, and shouted loudly.
"You still want to deny it? The evidence is irrefutable. You cheated in the race for money. How can you face the team?"
Yue Jiang, standing to the side, clenched his fists in anger. He never expected that Wu Xixi, who seemed to get along well with everyone, could do such a despicable thing as stabbing someone in the back.
"Wu Xixi, you really disgust me. I treated you like a brother and took care of you all this time. Is this how you repay us?"
Yue Jiang's voice trembled slightly with anger.
Wu Xixi's face turned pale and then red. He knew that everything had been exposed and there was no point in struggling anymore.
He slowly raised his head, looking at Song Qianyi, Yue Jiang, and Han Yu with an almost pleading gaze.
"President Song, Brother Yue, Han Yu, I... I was forced into this situation. The people from the Fengyun Racing Team threatened me that if I didn't do what they said, they would... they would harm my family. I... I really had no choice."
Han Yu snorted coldly, clearly not believing his explanation.
"A threat? Why didn't you say so sooner? Did you think you could get away with it? This is betrayal!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xixi collapsed to the ground in despair, clutching her head in her hands, filled with remorse.
“I…I was scared. I was afraid they would really hurt my family. I know it was wrong, but I really didn’t know what to do. I…I was wrong. Please, give me another chance.”
His voice was trembling with tears; he had long lost the stubbornness he had shown earlier in trying to argue his way out of trouble.
However, the other people in the convoy also gathered around.
Everyone looked at Wu Xixi with anger in their eyes.
"Hmph, you still want a chance? You shouldn't have joined our team. After doing something like this, you can expect to be punished by law!"
"Exactly! They've abandoned all principles for money, and they've even damaged our team's reputation. It's unforgivable!"
Yue Jiang looked at Wu Xixi, who was once familiar but now felt completely unfamiliar, and his heart was filled with disappointment.
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Wu Xixi, the mistake you've made is beyond what our team can easily forgive. We will report this matter to the relevant authorities truthfully, and you can expect to receive the punishment you deserve. From now on, you are no longer a member of our team, and you can forget about working in the racing world!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xixi was struck dumb. He knew that his racing career was completely ruined.
Wu Xixi was led aside by the convoy staff to wait for the relevant department staff to arrive.
[Ding! Mission complete. Reward: VVVIP membership to the "Siang" Club.]
Although the mission was completed, Song Qianyi would not let the mastermind behind the scenes, the Fengyun Motorcade, off so easily.
Song Qianyi directly instructed Yue Jiang to use Wu Xixi's phone to call that person.
As soon as the call connected, Yue Jiang put it on speakerphone and recorded the call.
All that could be heard from the other end of the phone was an angry male voice.
"Wu Xixi, how dare you call me! Our team didn't win the championship because of you! You don't want a single penny!"
After saying that, Zhang Tai, the agent of the Fengyun Racing Team, hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone that had just been hung up, Song Qianyi smiled instead of getting angry.
The information they had was not enough as evidence.
Song Qianyi was still thinking about how to expose the Fengyun Racing Team, but now that he has this recording, it's hard for him to deny it.
Soon after, staff from the event's oversight committee arrived, and Song Qianyi handed over the evidence to them.
This includes text message records on Wu Xixi's phone and a recording of her recent call with Zhang Tai, the agent of the Fengyun Racing Team.
After carefully examining the evidence, a staff member said with a serious expression.
"This evidence is indeed crucial, but we still need to conduct further in-depth investigations and verifications. After all, we are responsible for the fairness of the entire competition and must give all participating teams a fair explanation."
After the staff left, Song Qianyi also left the convoy.
A short while later, Yue Jiang received a call from Xiao He.
Xiao He explained that his grandmother was suddenly admitted to the hospital yesterday for surgery, and he went to the hospital to take care of her.
He and Wu Xixi asked for leave, and later his phone ran out of battery and turned off, but he didn't pay attention to it.
I only saw that Yue Jiang had called him a lot when I turned on my phone just now.
As for Wu Xixi's previous claim that she was contacting Xiao He, that was all false. There were no missed calls from Wu Xixi on Xiao He's phone.
