Chapter 051: Have You Ever Risked Your Life for Someone Else?
Lin Lang didn't know if the Hu Merchant magnates at the charity auction gala remembered him.
However, some wealthy young ladies, magnate wives, CEO wives, and chairman wives who attended the charity event were all deeply impressed by the handsome Lin Lang.
Looks are justice.
Lin Lang didn't want to attract women so much, but who told him he was so outstandingly handsome that he was a standout wherever he went!
Since Lin Lang was attending this charity auction gala on behalf of his master, Zhou Zhongdang, the money for the auction donation came from his master, but it was his disciple, Lin Lang, who showed his face and stole the limelight at the event.
Therefore, attending tonight's charity auction gala was a sure win for Lin Lang.
The closing music began to play.
The host on stage started to deliver the closing remarks.
Thanking the organizer, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.
Thanking the co-organizer, Chu Group.
Thanking everyone who made efforts and contributions to this charity event.
In short, the host on stage spoke all the official pleasantries.
Thanking this.
Thanking that.
After a long list of thanks, the host loudly announced that the charity auction gala was officially over.
The guests, filling the hall, rose from their seats as the closing music played.
Celebrities and Hu Merchant magnates, in groups of three or five, exchanged pleasantries and goodbyes before leaving freely, heading home to their respective mothers.
Chu Yiren stood up and said, "Please excuse me, A Lang!"
"I'm the co-organizer representative for Chu Group, and a lot of the follow-up work for this charity event needs me to personally oversee it. I'll be busy very late, so let's make plans another time."
"Okay, Yiren Jie!"
"Work is important."
"You go ahead and be busy, Jie! Love you!" Lin Lang made a heart shape with his hands.
The chaebol heiress, Chu Yiren, smiled sweetly, reluctantly bidding farewell to Lin Lang.
After getting into work mode, Chu Yiren instantly switched to the domineering, beautiful chaebol mode, resuming her cold, arrogant, poker face.
The haughty chaebol heiress, Chu Yiren, looked down on all men, yet she reserved her gentle and charming side entirely for Lin Lang.

The next morning.
Shanghai Open-Air Stadium.
2000 ARRC Asia Women's Road Motorcycle Championship Shanghai Station.
Warm sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting a glow on the winding track, as if painting dazzling racing lines for this grand women's Asia motorcycle race.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, top female racers from various Asian countries, riding their professional sportbikes, roared like beasts, appearing on the track with heroic grace.
Twenty minutes before the race began.
Zhou Mengyao, China's top-ranked female racer, appeared on the track wearing a cool racing suit, its tight design highlighting her graceful figure, her long hair flowing in the wind, and holding her helmet. She was a beautiful sight to behold.
It's no exaggeration, the sweet and cool Motorcycle Goddess Zhou Mengyao, as soon as she appeared, attracted the attention of all the spectators.
Zhou Mengyao's stunning face was as beautiful as a painting, and her bright eyes revealed her determination to win the championship.
Lin Lang bought a VVIP grandstand ticket at a high price from a scalper, allowing him to witness top female racers from various Asian countries racing at super close range, competing for the latest ranking of female racers in Asia.
Lin Lang appeared in the VVIP grandstand, wearing black Armani sunglasses, drinking iced cola under the scorching sun in the huge open-air stadium, cheering for Zhou Mengyao.
The stands were almost full, with the vast majority being local Chinese spectators from Shanghai, who naturally held the highest expectations for the Shanghai-born Chinese female racer, Zhou Mengyao.
There were even cheerleaders at the race, before the race began, they loudly encouraged all the spectators to cheer for their idol, the female racer Zhou Mengyao.
The overwhelming cheers from the scene showed Zhou Mengyao's immense popularity in the racing world.
Female racers from various participating countries, under the spotlight, were all nervously and orderly preparing for the race with their team engineers and technical staff on the track, collectively pursuing the ultimate performance of their motorcycles.
Besides their exceptional skills, the female racers' tacit cooperation with their teams was also key to winning the race.
Ding! All-Purpose Entry Prompt System weather forecast alert: "When the race is halfway through, the weather will suddenly change, and a massive downpour will occur. The sudden torrential rain will directly affect the race results of the female racers from various Asian countries."
"Holy crap!"
"The TV weather forecast said there wouldn't be any rain in Shanghai today, right?"
"Could it be that my 【All-Purpose Entry Prompt System】 can even predict sudden weather changes?!"
"Awesome!"
"My Entry Prompt System really is omnipotent!"
After receiving the system entry prompt, the iced cola in Lin Lang's hand no longer tasted sweet. He yanked off his sunglasses, looked up at the cloudless sky, and was instantly overjoyed.
Why was Lin Lang happy about a sudden heavy downpour halfway through the race?
Because Lin Lang could notify Zhou Mengyao in advance to change her motorcycle tires to wet tires, ensuring she wouldn't slip when cornering in the torrential rain, thus increasing Zhou Mengyao's chances of winning by a wide margin.
So, Lin Lang hurriedly waved and shouted Zhou Mengyao's name from the VVIP grandstand, but unfortunately, there were too many spectators and the noise was deafening, so Zhou Mengyao, who was busy preparing for the race on the track, couldn't hear him at all.
Helpless, Lin Lang could only pull out his phone and dial Zhou Mengyao's number, but unfortunately, Zhou Mengyao, who was focused on preparing for the race, had already turned off her phone.
Lin Lang broke out in a sweat from anxiety. What could he do?
In his desperation, Lin Lang steeled himself and, risking being expelled from the stadium by security, climbed over the fence and jumped onto the track, frantically running towards Zhou Mengyao.
Tens of thousands of spectators in the stands mistakenly thought Lin Lang was a fanatical fan of Zhou Mengyao, who had irrationally jumped into the competition area to chase a celebrity, causing a burst of exclamations from the audience.
The security personnel at the scene also, at the first moment, discovered a spectator had jumped into the competition area and rushed towards Lin Lang to stop him.
Because of the exclamations from tens of thousands of spectators, Zhou Mengyao gracefully turned her head and was startled to see Lin Lang, who had jumped down from the stands, desperately sprinting towards her. The immediate sensation, in her astonishment, was very much like a moth drawn to a flame.
Love at first sight.
That's right.
Zhou Mengyao, who was concentrating on preparing for the race with her team members, actually felt a sense of falling in love when she saw Lin Lang being chased by over a dozen security guards, running desperately towards her regardless of the consequences.
The foreign female racers who were preparing for the race at the scene couldn't help but be dumbfounded by Lin Lang's bold move, and they all turned into onlookers, mistakenly thinking that the spectator Lin Lang was a lunatic.
"Lin Lang, what are you doing?" Zhou Mengyao asked, looking shocked.
After frantically running close to Zhou Mengyao, Lin Lang, panting, grabbed Zhou Mengyao's shoulder and whispered, "When the race is halfway through, the weather will suddenly change and there will be a massive downpour!"
"The sudden torrential rain will directly affect the results of today's race."
"Change to wet tires!"
The technical staff of Zhou Mengyao's racing team at the scene looked at each other after hearing this, simply not believing that such clear weather would suddenly turn into a massive downpour after the race.
Zhou Mengyao said in surprise, "But today's weather forecast didn't mention rain?!"
"Mengyao, don't look at how clear the sky is now. The weather will suddenly change as soon as the race starts. You must listen to me and change to wet tires!" Lin Lang gasped.
"Immediately instruct your team members to change to wet tires, otherwise it will be too late..."
Before Lin Lang could finish speaking, a dozen security guards had already rushed forward and, in a swarm, held Lin Lang firmly down on the ground.
"Uh..." Zhou Mengyao was completely stunned.
A security guard, leaning on his knees, asked breathlessly, "Miss Zhou, did this spectator who jumped from the stands harm you?"
Zhou Mengyao hurriedly explained, "He's my male classmate. He jumped down from the stands not to harm me. Please don't make things difficult for him."
Even with Zhou Mengyao speaking up for Lin Lang, Lin Lang still needed to be investigated and confirmed not to be intentionally harmful before he could be expelled from the stadium for disrupting the order of the competition.
Fortunately, the race had not yet started. If it had been during the race, he would have been detained by the police for fifteen days.
Zhou Mengyao watched Lin Lang being escorted by a dozen security guards to the backstage of the venue for investigation, and she was utterly bewildered.

Immediately after, Zhou Mengyao raised her exquisite small face, looked up at the bright, sunny sky, and murmured, "Could such clear weather really turn into a massive downpour after the race?"
Hei Zai, the team engineer, frowned and said, "Boss, you're not actually going to believe him and risk losing the race by using wet tires in clear weather, are you?"
"Lin Lang is a very steady and meticulous person. He was my deskmate for all three years of high school, and he's also my father's closed-door disciple. He would absolutely never harm me."
"If Lin Lang wasn't absolutely certain, he would never have jumped down from the stands and sprinted towards me, asking me to use wet tires in clear weather for the race."
Xiao Lei, the team technician, advised, "But Boss, if it doesn't rain during the race, our motorcycle using wet tires will undoubtedly lose when competing against other countries' racers on dry land!"
Zhou Mengyao, however, furrowed her delicate brows and resolutely commanded, "Immediately do as Lin Lang said. Change the motorcycle to wet tires, also change the brake pads to rain-specific ones, and change the front and rear shocks to softer ones that are more suitable for rain racing."
"While adjusting the hardware, the software must also be adjusted immediately."
"The electronics engineer must immediately adjust the ECU and IMU to make them more suitable for wet weather racing, allowing for more linear engine output and improving traction control and assistance systems."
Hei Zai, the team engineer, wiped a cold sweat after hearing this and weakly said, "Boss, you're gambling with your career. Don't you trust the official weather forecast, but you trust your classmate Lin Lang?"
Zhou Mengyao steeled herself and replied angrily, "Today, I'm going to take a gamble for Lin Lang. The race starts in fifteen minutes. Do as I say immediately."
"Yes, Boss!"
"Everyone, quickly do it! GOGOGO..."
All the technical staff of Mengyao Racing Team, well-trained, threw themselves into work: some changing wet tires, some changing shocks, some adjusting software settings, all racing against time and almost going crazy from busyness.
