Chapter 918: Collusion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Of course not.
The strength of Yu Pan and the others’ skills were not bad, but there were other racers who were better than them.
Especially judging by their performance this year, their combined value was not even comparable to Ji Shu.
If Ji Shu was the one who was involved in today’s incident, they might have considered their decision more carefully, but for Yu Pan and these others…
It really was not that bad.
!!
Besides, drug possession was a criminal act. How could it be compared to normal violations?
No matter which perspective it was from, the National Racing a.s.sociation should not, and could not, s.h.i.+eld or favor FN!
Pang Zhikai’s face was dark but he did not say anything.
Seeing that the two of them were at a stalemate and the atmosphere was awkward, the people next to him quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
“Chairman, the vice chairman didn’t mean that. You know, ever since FN joined the club, the vice chairman has been very optimistic about them and they have produced beautiful results before. Now that FN has done such a thing, the vice chairman must be feeling too heartbroken and regretful…”
Liao Yuan’s expression eased a little, but he continued to insist, “Zhikai, I know that you have always had high hopes for FN, but FN has now made a big mistake. It’s they who have let you down, as well as the a.s.sociation, and the majority of the fans down. They are no longer qualified to stand on the track.”
Pang Zhikai took a deep breath.
“So, the decision to ban them for life will not be changed?”
Liao Yuan’s tone was determined.
“Yes. This should also be the joint decision of the majority of the a.s.sociation.”
It was not difficult to see everyone’s att.i.tude from the earlier discussion.
As Pang Zhikai stood up, the chair dragged across the floor with a harsh sound.
“In that case, I have nothing more to say.”
In fact, today’s impromptu meeting had not been very interesting.
Liao Yuan had clearly already decided on their plans for how to punish FN, so what else could he argue about?
Naturally, as a vice-chairman, his power could not be compared to Liao Yuan’s.
Liao Yuan heard the hidden meaning in his words and frowned.
Logically speaking, the National Racing a.s.sociation could not accept drug-related racers, so there was no problem with their decision.
He knew that Pang Zhikai had a fairly good relations.h.i.+p with FN, but he had not expected him to speak up for FN this time.
Pang Zhikai turned around and was about to leave.
The rest of the people looked at each other.
This…
Did the chairman and vice-chairman just have a falling out?
A man sitting next to Liao Yuan called out in a low voice, “Chairman Liao?”
He gestured at Pang Zhikai’s back with his mouth to indicate whether he should try to persuade him.
Actually, everyone was also thinking about the development of the domestic racing circle. Now that things had become so tense due to this matter, it was really…
Liao Yuan frowned and shook his head.
He did not feel that there was anything wrong with FN’s drug-related racers being banned for life. When they had taken drugs and hidden drugs, they should have expected that this day might come!
As for Pang Zhikai…
It was probably just that he was unable to accept it for the time being.
“Don’t worry about him,” said Liao Yuan.
Hearing what he said, everyone could only follow as he said.
Of course, Pang Zhikai had also heard it. He silently sneered.
By this time, he had already walked to the door of the meeting room. He raised his hand and was about to pull the door open.
Liao Yuan’s phone suddenly lit up.
As he picked it up, his gaze suddenly focused.
Immediately, his expression quickly became serious. Subconsciously, his shoulders and back straightened as well.
His fingers tapped on the phone screen a few times.
The people beside him did not notice his current expression.
Pang Zhikai pulled open the conference room’s door, but before he could take a step out, he heard Liao Yuan’s cold voice behind him.
“Wait a minute.”
Of course, these words were directed at him.
Pang Zhikai was annoyed. He did not want to bother with it, but when he thought about how there were still so many people in the conference room, he knew it would not be good to fight with Liao Yuan.
He turned around.
“Chairman Liao, do you have any other instructions?”
Liao Yuan stared at him with a very strange expression on his face.
Vaguely feeling that something was strange, Pang Zhikai felt a sense of unease well up in his heart.
He frowned.
“What–”
“Was it you who leaked Ji Shu’s medical report?”
Liao Yuan interrupted him, his tone low and cold.
Pang Zhikai’s eyelids twitched!
One of his hands was still holding the door handle, so when he heard this, he unconsciously tightened his grip.
The entire meeting room fell into dead silence because of Liao Yuan’s words.
Several pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, unable to hide their shock.
What had Liao Yuan said just now? Ji Shu’s medical report had been from Pang Zhikai’s–
In the stifling atmosphere, Pang Zhikai slowly said, “I don’t know where Chairman Liao has got this idea. I have no idea how Ji Shu’s medical report was leaked either–”
“Take a look for yourself!”
Liao Yuan slammed his phone on the table with a banging sound.
Everyone’s hearts trembled as they subconsciously looked at the phone.
Pang Zhikai’s heart seemed to be gripped tightly by something. At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
It should not be…
It should not be!
He had done it so covertly that it would be impossible to be found out…
However, seeing Liao Yuan like this made him feel uncertain again.
With his understanding of Liao Yuan, he would not have spoken so resolutely in front of so many people if he did not have sufficient evidence.
The uneasy feeling grew stronger.
As Pang Zhikai walked over, he did not show the slightest abnormality on his face.
The large conference room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
He came to stand in front of Liao Yuan and picked the phone up from the table.
It was an anonymous email.
The moment he saw the t.i.tle, Pang Zhikai’s heart started beating uncontrollably!
[ Some evidence of Pang Zhikai taking bribes, colluding with FN’s higher-ups, and jointly falsifying Ji Shu’s physical examination report ]
He opened it almost subconsciously.
The more he read, the paler his face became.
Ji Shu’s medical report had originally been sent by Fres.h.i.+, a Weibo user who loved car racing, to UncleCar, a well-known racing blogger.
The person who sent the email had searched the Weibo user’s ID and found that he had also taken the picture from another Weibo user.
Originally, Fres.h.i.+ had been very shocked after receiving the picture. He had immediately asked the other party whether it was real or fake, but the other party had not responded.
Later on, he found out that the other party’s Weibo had only been registered on the day of the incident. Moreover, after sending the picture, the account had immediately been canceled.
Since Fres.h.i.+ could not find anything more, he immediately sent the picture to Uncle Car without any further concern.
This had led to the series of farces that followed.
And now, this email clearly showed that the Weibo IP address that had been registered and deregistered had finally been traced back to Pang Zhikai!
In addition, this email also listed Pang Zhikai’s actions and evidence of using his position to willfully tamper with Ji Shu and FN’s medical reports.
However, Ji Shu’s had been changed to an abnormal result, while the results for the people from FN had been changed to normal.
This also explained why the National Racing a.s.sociation’s medical results contradicted the police’s results.
Liao Yuan stared at him.
“Now, do you have anything to explain?”
