Chapter 484: Sudden Conflict

cited, right Just looking at it made her feel a surge of desire, let alone experiencing it firsthand.ps: Just these 2 chapters today, I have to get up early for work tomorrow, please forgive me brothe...At 300 meters, that's just 18 to 19 seconds in front of world-class horses. In front of top-tier horses like Windfire, Saint Light and Flame Thorns, Hoofprint Blood, Azure Flame and Golden Arrow, and Skywing Horse, it would be even less, probably 2 to 3 seconds earlier.

What can you do in less than 20 seconds

Here, one can decide the livelihoods of countless people, their futures, and even the lives of some.

"Oh no! Qingyan is stuck in a bad position!"

"Damn it! That treacherous rider in the wind is too cunning, pushing Qingyan outward to make it run farther!"

Wang Hao and Jiang Jun gritted their teeth when they saw the scene.

"Damn it! This was definitely planned, they didn't even let us get a good spot!"

In long-distance horse races, getting a good position on the turns is a technical skill. A well-executed turn allows a horse to run slightly less distance and exit the bend in a more advantageous position, enabling a faster and stronger burst of speed, shaving off fractions of a second.

Here, it's not just a few milliseconds, even a few hundredths of a second would be fatal.

"Final push!"

Cheng Feihǔ was looking at the wind-and-fire and azure flames with a touch of despair.

It has to be said, these two horses are among the finest racehorses today. Especially today, they both ran at the world's top level, speed that can challenge the world's best. Even though they failed this time, they will still receive widespread attention and a steady stream of wealth.

But Cheng Feihu couldn't be happy. Because this time after losing, not only would his assets shrink significantly, but Zhou You and they would also be on the verge of bankruptcy, while the enemy could face them with an even more arrogant attitude. At that time, it wouldn't be something that money could make up for.

"We're going to lose!"

In the final hundred meters, Feng Lihuo remained stubbornly glued to Half-Head's side despite the wind. No matter how hard Qing Yan struggled, he just couldn't close the gap.

Seeing this, Cheng Feihu felt even more disheartened.

"It exploded!"

"My goodness! Qingyan actually still has room to spare at this time!"

Wang Hao and Jiang Jun suddenly shouted, bringing Cheng Feihu's despair back to life.

In the next instant, Xu Jie saw a desperate scene: The fire in the wind seemed to be stimulated and unexpectedly erupted again under impossible circumstances, pressing down on Qing Yan's body that was about to surpass him.

"It's over!"

"It's really over!"

Cheng Feihu and Xu Jie looked ashen. The most terrifying thing in the world is to give you a glimmer of hope when you're at your lowest, only to have it vanish before your eyes.

At this moment, Zhou You suddenly stood up.

His attention wasn't on the blue flames, but was fixed on the fire in the wind as if it were his sworn enemy. That coldness, that murderous intent, even Cheng Feihu and the others beside him were frightened enough to want to flee. As for Dzhi and Agam who were closest to Zhou You, their faces were filled with terror.

Such a journey is not a real journey at all.

Hush!

Tian Ci suddenly let out a fierce roar and charged down.

But in a moment, Tian Ci drew a perfect, flawless arc across the sky before vanishing. Almost at the same time, Qing Yan, who was almost at his limit, miraculously caught up to Feng Lihuo, and the two horses ran side by side.

"I crossed the line!"

"At the same time, across the finish line!"

"The naked eye can't tell the difference at all, we need to rely on electronic eyes!"

From the loudspeaker came a furious roar, while the entire racetrack erupted in an uproar.

In the surging crowd, Zhou You's body was like a pillar suddenly losing its support, collapsing limply. His eyes were lifeless, but the smile on his lips remained, impossible to erase.

"I'm so tired! But I can finally rest now!"

Thus, Zhou You closed his eyes, as if in a deep sleep, and sat quietly, with an eerie tranquility. He gradually disappeared into the surging crowd.

……

……

Several years later.

Mingyuan City, with a strong human touch, is like a garden.

In the Dujia Horse Ranch, a petite figure flew into the arms of a seemingly young and elegant man, her small mouth constantly calling out "Daddy" and such.

"My baby!"

The man picked up the child and gave him a hearty kiss on his little cheek, saying, "My little darling, why did you suddenly run over here Don't you hate walking with Dad"

The child replied, "But Xiao Song really likes riding Big Hei! Mom said that when I grow up, I will ride Big Hei and become the best jockey in the world, just like Dad!"

"Travel around!"

Wang Hao, Jiang Jun, Xu Jie, Cheng Feihua and others arrived together, forming a large lineup.

Yes, the person holding the child is Zhou You.

Zhouyou smiled and greeted everyone as they came.

Wang Hao looked at Zhou You, who was still full of energy, and sighed sincerely: “You’re still the same as before, so young. Look at us, we don’t know how many years older we’ve gotten in the past few years. The day before yesterday, someone even called me uncle!”

Zhou You smiled and said, “I reminded you a few years ago not to work so hard and to delegate some things to the people below you.”

Jiang Jun rebuked, "Don't just stand there and talk nonsense. You, the shopkeeper of Longque Lou, are really thorough in your shirking of responsibilities. Tell me yourself, how many times have you been here this year If we all acted like you, then Longque Lou wouldn't have the scale it does today."

Xu Jie laughed and said, "The problem is that Zhou You's attitude of 'not suspecting anyone when using people and not suspecting anyone when not using them' allows his museum to attract nearly 14 million visitors from the entire city. His Qiansheng Group has grown into a super-national conglomerate worth 500 billion yuan. Even your three shares in Longque Building, because of its complete delegation of authority, have reached the top position nationwide."

"That's true too!"

Wang Hao and Jiang Jun were speechless.

"Alright, let's drop those topics and get to the point."

Hu Jianming, Ma Fatty, Jiang Hailu, Hu Zong, Li Yidao, Zheng Minglang, Lin Huihuang, Zhang Laoxian, Jin Boss and others all walked out. Huang Jianming asked, "Xiaoyou, the jade market has finally stabilized. Now, with the increasing scarcity of jade resources and the depletion of old mining sites, the market seems to be returning to its previous upward trend. What are your plans"

Ma Fatzi also interjected: "You've been withdrawn from the gambling stone world for several years. Now, people don't recognize you anymore. Even the accounts of Jade King and Yu Sheng aren't selling well, the atmosphere is chaotic. You should stand up and uphold it."

Zhou You thought for a moment and then smiled, "Since that's the case, I do need to come out and clarify some boundaries. When Lao Ma and Lao Fang entrusted me with this matter, it wasn't for me to sit around and watch the show. So, I'll be participating in both the Pingzhou public auction in this world and the Myanmar public auction."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In recent years, the jade market hasn't been doing well. Some businesses have barely made a profit, some even operated at a loss, while others shifted their sales strategies and temporarily put jade aside. But now that the hot market is back, it's time to fully mobilize and start harvesting like we used to.

Cheng Feihu saw an opening and quickly interjected, “Don’t dwell on that anymore. Xiao Yu, you promised us years ago to give us an answer. Can you reveal the truth now”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Xu Jie sighed, "At that time, we were all disheartened, but the moment Tianci appeared, the situation reversed. Qingyan won against Fenglihu by a tiny margin, barely the width of a thumb, in the final moments, creating a small upset."

"After that, your battle directly harvested funds worth 40 billion rb, making your total assets instantly exceed the trillion threshold, becoming the veritable master of a small consortium, your name resonating internationally. Your opponents disappeared from sight, especially Jimmy Lee's father, the so-called head of Asia for the American Bank, who was directly fired. He is now a pariah in the industry, with no one willing to hire him. His situation is dire."

Zhou You had no response, and instead asked back, "What about the Songling Group What about Songling Hao'er"

Jiang Hailiu replied, "The Songling Group offended many people and suffered setbacks in their American industries. Their development in recent years hasn't been good, showing signs of decline. As for Songling Haoer, he seems to have been sent by the Songling family to a small company to spend his retirement."

Zhou Yu smiled faintly, without saying a word.

Cheng Feihu pressed, "Xiao Yu, reveal the answer!"

"Yeah..."

Everyone chimed in.

Zhou Yu organized for a long time, without speaking, but drew his sword to the sky.

Hush!

Heaven's grace descends.

At this time, the Sky King is undoubtedly the ruler of the sky. Its terrifying body with a wingspan exceeding 3 meters, its eyes that are as sharp as knives, and its beak that can pierce through a 1 cm thick iron sheet with one peck – anyone who sees it will feel chills down their spine. Only Zhou You could walk alongside it and get this close.

"Could it be a gift from heaven" asked Xu Jie.

Zhou You returned: "It is and it isn't!"

Cheng Feihu asked, "Speak in detail, you've confused me."

Zhou Youhui said: "Animals, even genetically modified animals, are born with the sharp senses of beasts. They have an innate and supernatural awareness of danger that surpasses our comprehension. The more spiritual and sensitive an animal is, the more acutely it perceives this."

People are still a little confused, and only Xu Jie has shown some signs.

Zhouyou could only continue, “Purebred horses are very sensitive and easily influenced by their surroundings. Let alone being targeted by predators, even a small mouse running in front of them, even if they have their eyes covered and their ears plugged, they can still keenly detect it.”

I understand.

Xu Jie clapped his hands and laughed, the knot that had troubled him for years was finally untied.

But Cheng Feihu and the others were still at a stage of half-understanding, but Zhou You and Xu Jie didn't seem to have any intention of further explanation. Cheng Feihu and the others could only rely on themselves to understand and guess.

"Dad!"

Another little girl ran over.

Next, two more stunningly beautiful women came forward, each holding a child. Upon seeing Zhou You, especially the large crowd surrounding him, they both broke into radiant and sweet smiles.

The little girl who had just run over tugged at Zhou You's trousers and pointed at the twin dragons playing with pearls jade pendant on Zhou Song's chest, asking, "Daddy, why doesn't Linlin have such a pretty jade pendant even though brother has one"

"Yes, there will be!"

Zhou You picked Zhou Lin up and laughed, "Even if we don't have one, Daddy will make one just for our beautiful little Zhou Lin!"

"Dad is the best!"

Zhou Lin sweetly kissed Zhou You on the cheek.

"Haha…"

Zhou You walked away happily, and while walking, he said, "Little Linlin, Dad is going home now. Let's see if there are any suitable jade stones at home to carve!"

"This fellow..."

Everyone saw Zhou You off, with happy expressions.

Thank you all for accompanying me through these 9 months.

As friends who have read my author's note know, I came here by chance. But after nine months of writing, chance turned into taking root. I met many enthusiastic readers and also encountered many difficulties.

Perhaps you don't know this, but I was attacked by a drunkard several months ago and almost got killed. My hand is left with a hideous scar. Although the matter was brushed aside by some relevant departments who claimed they needed money at the time, it has been a thorn in my side ever since, leading to my writing state and speed being consistently poor afterward.

But now everything is in the past, people need to look forward, for the next book I hope everyone will continue to support me so that I can go further.

I temporarily created a contact group: 210161259, hoping everyone can still come in and chat.r mind. This guy was actually talking about serving him together that day... Then, Lin Meiyue's heart was restless, and she drove the car. Ye Fan nervously touched her thigh, and the car finally a...
