Chapter 77
An hour before the start of the race, Coach Wu had already held a meeting with the three team members, demanding that each of them put in their full effort to compete for first place, but there was an important condition that had to come before that—
safety.
Safety took precedence over everything else.
Yi Ming, Liu Xiaoyun, and Chen Zeyi knew that in such a race, all sorts of situations were bound to happen. In past cycling events, there were cases where people suffered serious injuries. According to Coach Wu\'s instructions, in any dangerous situation, they must put their own safety first, and not compete or jostle for position at that time. If someone intentionally blocked them, they should avoid them if possible. If avoiding was not possible, they must not retaliate with "road rage", which could lead to unintended harm.
"Don\'t worry, Coach Wu. We remember."
Yi Ming, Liu Xiaoyun, and Chen Zeyi nodded, realizing that the old coach was even more nervous than the three of them.
For Coach Wu, Yi Ming, Liu Xiaoyun, and Chen Zeyi were not just his team members, but also like "children" he had raised in another sense. He truly hoped they could achieve outstanding results in the competition, but he also hoped that after the race, he could return all three of them safely to the school and to their parents.
Unfortunately, sometimes the things one worries about seem to be cursed with a strange magic – the more you worry, the more likely they are to happen.
When Coach Wu saw that ominous figure approaching Yi Ming on the screen, he cried out in his heart, "Not good!"
Years of competition experience allowed him to immediately recognize that person\'s malicious intentions. For that person, the most important thing in this race was not to win, as his skills and abilities were not high enough to have any real hope of victory. Thus, he had focused his mind entirely on obstructing Yi Ming.
But Yi Ming was nimble and resourceful, and Coach Wu had always believed he could successfully navigate through the danger and shake off the person intentionally blocking him.
However, in the next second, to his surprise, Yi Ming suddenly fell over in a strange posture, while his bike, unaware that its rider was in danger, continued at high speed.
Yi Ming fell heavily to the ground, and in that moment, his bike veered off course, crashing directly into the barrier before violently smashing onto the ground.
Coach Wu was stunned on the spot.
His ears seemed to have lost all sound. Coach Wu felt as though his feet had turned to lead. Watching the motionless Yi Ming lying on the ground in the live broadcast, he felt as if his entire heart had stopped beating, utterly frozen.
"Yi Ming..."
He summoned all his strength and called out Yi Ming\'s name in an almost hoarse voice.
More and more people around him were screaming and shouting, while crowds of staff began to panic. Someone finally called out his name: "Coach Wu, Coach Wu? Hurry, your team member is injured and unconscious!"
It was as if Coach Wu had suddenly woken up in an instant.
His breathing resumed, and he immediately sprang to his feet and ran toward the track without looking back, yelling desperately as he ran, "Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance quickly, hurry, save my child!"
...
The moment Jiang Wei left the classroom with her books, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat or two, leaving her short of breath and feeling stifled.
"God, please let Yi Ming return safely..."
She clasped her hands together, her brows furrowed slightly, praying devoutly...
