Chapter 186: Cheating
Jiang Shenyuan walked back with Qin Yaozhi and Meng Jinyang, and returned the pony to the staff. Meng Jinyang watched the race nervously and clenched her fists. Qin Yaozhi was also a little nervous. She had witnessed Yu Shu’s horse riding skills before and had seen her beat her older brother. She didn’t know how good Sister Mang was.
He Yidu looked at the situation and raised an eyebrow. It seemed like it was about to be a tie. However, he didn’t jump to conclusions. He looked at Qin Fang and tutted. “Look at the gun in Brother Cheng’s hand. Do you still have the mood to care about winning or losing?”
Qin Fang suddenly felt tense. His horse was still hovering between the edge of life and death.
Meng Jinyang was too nervous. She didn’t realize they were talking about the gun. She was too preoccupied watching Gu Mang.
She pursed her lips tightly and said softly, “It doesn’t matter if she wins or loses as long as Gu Mang is safe in the end.”
“That’s not fine.” Qin Fang looked at the young lady and felt like teasing her. “If Gu Mang loses, she will lose a hundred million.”
Meng Jinyang’s face suddenly turned pale and looked at Qin Fang in shock. Qin Yaozhi was also shocked. The bet was for a hundred million? Although a hundred million was nothing much to them, Sister Mang was so thrifty that she didn’t even buy clothes for herself.
Jiang Shenyuan stared coldly at Qin Fang. He tapped Meng Jinyang’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Gu Mang will win.”
Meng Jinyang nodded inattentively and stared unblinkingly at the racecourse. During the second lap, Gu Mang took a small lead, slowly pulling away from Yu Shu.
Yu Shu also started to accelerate, kicking the horse’s belly fiercely. They dashed forward to shorten the distance between the two. She stared at Gu Mang fixedly. Was this what she meant when Gu Mang had said that she knew “a little” about horse riding? Did she say that on purpose?
At the beginning of the third lap, Gu Mang took the lead by a whole three meters. Her pretty face was calm and composed. On the other hand, Yu Shu’s usual dignified and elegant countenance vanished. She looked very serious as she held the reins tightly.
The next half lap would decide the outcome. Yu Shu looked at Gu Mang who was in the lead by two meters and gritted her teeth. She would not lose!
She took a needle that had been prepared in advance out from the saddle and stuck it in the horse’s b.u.t.tocks. The horse immediately felt the pain, lifted its front hooves abruptly, and neighed before sprinting forward frantically.
Everyone watching on the sideline was surprised.
Qin Fang stood up straight. “What happened?”
Lu Chengzhou, who was spinning the gun with his finger, suddenly stopped. He gripped the gun firmly, his index finger on the trigger. His eyes darkened.
Jiang Shenyuan and Qin Rui quickly pulled away the two girls beside them.
Yu Shu’s horse rushed forward uncontrollably but she seemed to have no intention of pulling the reins to stop it. She had already caught up with Gu Mang. The needle in the horse’s b.u.t.tocks had not yet been drawn out. Her eyes narrowed and she went to poke the needle into the horse again ruthlessly.
The horse was agitated and neighed crazily. However, it didn’t rush forward. It lifted its front hooves and kicked uncontrollably in Gu Mang’s direction.
Gu Mang’s horse was by nature quite unsteady. Sensing the danger, it instinctively responded wildly, shaking its head frantically as it tried to avoid the other horse.
“Gu Mang!” Meng Jinyang screamed out in fright as Jiang Shenyuan grabbed her arm.
Lu Chengzhou raised his hand and was about to shoot.
Before Lu Chengzhou pulled the trigger, Gu Mang, who was about to be kicked by the horse, suddenly leaned down to hold the saddle with one hand, and did a backflip off the horse’s back.
Lu Chengzhou stopped. The others stood there, shocked by what Gu Mang did.
F*ck, doing a backflip on a horse’s back?
