Luo Yun brought over the water and gulped it down while it was still hot. The warmth rose from her body, and she felt much better.
Luan Yenan also took the water glass, took only a sip, and then held it in his hand.
The temperature of your hands is also crucial when you're going to drive a race car later.
The assistant understood Luan Yenan's thoughts and said, "I'll go find you a hot water bottle."
Luan Yenan nodded, but still didn't finish the water in his hand, so as not to have to go to the toilet later.
"Luan Yenan." Wang Tao, dressed in racing gear, walked over and blocked her way.
Luo Yun frowned.
Recalling the last match between Wang Tao and Luan Yenan, this person was depressed for a while, and then began to work hard. His performance during this period has been close to that of a professional team, and he will soon have the opportunity to be transferred to another team.
As the owner of the racing team, Luo Yun hoped that this person wouldn't ruin his future in a moment of impulsiveness and cause her to lose the money she had spent on training him.
They were also worried that Luan Yenan would be unhappy if he saw Wang Tao was still safe and sound in the convoy and came to cause trouble.
"Wang Tao, shouldn't you be testing the vehicle? Why are you here?" Luo Yun prepared to stop Wang Tao.
Wang Tao replied seriously, "Boss, I'm very rational and calm right now. Since the last competition, I've actually been quite grateful to President Luan... so I just wanted to have a few words with her alone today, and then I'll leave."
Seeing Wang Tao's sincere attitude, Luo Yun glanced at Luan Yenan, wanting to see what she thought.
Luan Yenan nodded, placed the water glass on the table beside him, and followed Wang Tao to the side.
Wang Tao didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "The day after Boss Luo informed us that you were going to participate in the amateur car race, I received an anonymous text message telling me to tamper with the race car. He said he could even help me cover it up. That way, I could get revenge and also earn a 'blockcoin' from him and run away."
Luan Yenan was somewhat surprised.
But it wasn't surprising that someone wanted to sabotage me; what was surprising was that Wang Tao would say these things to me.
After Wang Tao finished speaking, he seemed relieved and immediately laughed: "Although I am just a nobody, I am constantly trying to improve myself, so I would never use such underhanded methods. Besides, the person who wants to harm you probably doesn't know that you are very knowledgeable about racing, so it would be difficult for me to do anything underhanded."
Wang Tao said these things to remind Luan Yenan, and also to express his gratitude.
He was grateful for the casual remark Luan Yenan made to him, which changed the course of his life.
Luan Yenan frowned.
Wang Tao watched Luan Yenan's changing expression and became nervous as well.
Luan Yenan has become quite famous lately, a representative of young entrepreneurs. Surely someone like that wouldn't be so petty as to hold a grudge just because she received a text message threatening to harm her?
"President Luan, I was wrong to act out of spite before. I didn't have a chance to apologize or thank you, but I'm truly sincere now..."
Luan Yenan leaned against the wall.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in the cold wind.
Wang Tao panicked. This situation seemed very bad. It wasn't anger, but more like illness, eating the wrong thing, or something else...
Wang Tao stood there, stunned.
Luo Yun, who was not far away, was the first to notice the problem.
A large amount of extremely oppressive pheromones surrounded us from all directions, and even the drafty air couldn't disperse them.
Luo Yun held her breath, but her other sensory cells could still easily detect the pheromone atmosphere of this top-tier Alpha.
Instantly submerged in the pungent liquor, struggling to breathe.
The few Omega staff members in the repair area also sensed the pheromones and instantly collapsed to the ground.
They had never been exposed to this level of pheromones before.
That's terrifying!
These pheromones, which arouse primal urges, also intimidate them.
Luo Yun hurriedly took several steps back and shouted, "Wang Tao, go and call the team doctor!"
He then looked at the repairman supporting him and said, "Call an ambulance. Tell them there's a top-tier Alpha here with disordered pheromones, highly aggressive, and difficult to control. Hurry!"
"yes!"
Several Betas who couldn't sense the presence of pheromones were startled by Luo Yun's suffocating state and the flushed faces of several Omegas in the dead of winter.
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
Wang Tao hurriedly ran towards the team doctor's office.
In the chaos, he knocked over a nearby table without thinking, and the table's contents fell to the ground.
The data table was soaked by a half-finished glass of water, and no one had time to do anything about it.
Luan Yenan leaned against the wall and was helped up by two Betas. The color drained from his face quickly, and his body felt cold.
Fortunately, this is a racetrack, where accidents are the biggest concern. Whenever there is a race, Luo Yun makes thorough preparations, arranging for team doctors and ambulances to be on standby at all times.
It took only five minutes from the abnormal pheromone emanating from Luan Yenan to the arrival of the team doctor, and then only ten minutes for the arrival of the ambulance.
While the team doctor successfully suppressed the rampant pheromones, Luo Yun took Luan Yenan's phone and unlocked it with her fingerprint.
Call her mother right away.
After listening to Luo Yun's words, Luan Muyin took two deep breaths before saying, "Luo Yun, Ye Nan's mother and I are currently out of town, so we can only entrust Ye Nan to you for now. Please take her to the hospital first, and I will arrange a ward and have a doctor on standby. I will also have her grandfather go there."
"Okay," Luo Yun agreed.
Once the ambulance confirmed its destination, Luo Yun followed it and left together, fearing that something might happen to Luan Yenan on her turf.
At the same time, I immediately contacted Zhang Wanjun.
After everything was taken care of, we arrived at the hospital.
I remembered that I also needed to make a phone call to Zuo Baixuan for Luan Yenan.
...
When Zuo Baixuan received Luo Yun's call, her mind went blank.
In an instant, it felt as if all the blood from her heart to the top of her head had been drained. Zuo Baixuan felt cold all over and couldn't move her hands and feet.
Jiang Lingdan, who was accompanying her, was the first to react. She quickly took the phone to ask for the hospital address and then helped Zuo Baixuan walk out.
But considering that he didn't have a car and that it was very inconvenient to get a taxi in this area, he simply grabbed someone from the company at random.
Kan Yanghui didn't know what had happened, but he volunteered to raise his hand.
Jiang Lingdan agreed.
Jiang Lingdan sat in the car with Zuo Baixuan, comforting her: "She'll be fine, relax."
Zuo Baixuan tensed up and immediately covered her ears.
"Grandpa will be alright."
"Grandma will be alright."
"Your mother will be alright."
Everything will be alright.
She had heard those words far too many times.
But she was never lucky, and she didn't even dare to hear those words.
In that moment of impending loss, Zuo Baixuan realized just how important Luan Yenan was to her.
If something really happens to Luan Yenan, she won't be happy even if she completes her plan. She'll feel guilty for the rest of her life, burdened with even heavier shackles, and might even follow her in death because there's nothing left to cherish in this world.
Zuo Baixuan clutched her head, her body convulsing involuntarily.
Jiang Lingdan quickly grabbed Zuo Baixuan's hand and stopped talking.
Seeing the two in such a sorry state, Kan Yanghui, who was driving, guessed what was going on and quickly stepped on the gas to speed up towards the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, I went straight to the VIP lounge.
Luo Yun and Zhang Wanjun were sitting inside.
Neither of them looked well.
Zuo Baixuan's heart sank instantly, and she even stopped in her tracks, not daring to take another step inside, not wanting to hear the bad news they might bring.
The lounge is well-lit, bathed in the warmest afternoon sunlight.
Zuo Baixuan felt a sense of gloom and was so cold that she shivered.
Time stood still at that moment; no one had the strength to move an inch.
Kan Yanghui, who was least involved in the matter, took an extra step forward and cleared his throat, saying, "President Luo, you're here too."
Luo Yun then noticed that Zuo Baixuan had arrived.
Seeing that Zuo Baixuan looked very unwell, he immediately stood up and comforted her, "Miss Zuo, you don't need to worry too much. Both of Luan Yennan's mothers are here. Luan Yennan has private shares in this hospital and has a good relationship with the glandular specialists here. They will definitely treat Luan Yennan well. The nurse just came over and said that although she is still in surgery, her pheromones have been controlled."
“Oh my god, so it’s because you’ve got it under control. But you all looked so down just now, I thought…” Jiang Lingdan blurted out for Zuo Baixuan.
Luo Yun covered her face: "No, it was Secretary Zhang and I who were discussing whether this matter would affect the stock price. I happen to need money for cash flow, and I originally wanted to sell, but at this critical juncture, it would seem too unfair of me to reduce my holdings."
Zuo Baixuan only came to her senses when Luo Yun started talking about stocks: "Anan was admitted to the hospital because of pheromone abnormalities?"
"Yeah, the pheromone imbalance was terrifying. It was overwhelming. I thought I had fallen into a pool of wine and almost drowned," Luo Yun said exaggeratedly.
Zuo Baixuan let out a soft breath, her strength and body temperature returning somewhat.
"I told you not to worry, nothing will happen." Jiang Lingdan patted Zuo Baixuan's shoulder, gesturing for her to sit down.
Zuo Baixuan remained silent for a moment.
What she was afraid of was that person would harm Luan Yenan.
If it's just a pheromone imbalance, is it just a coincidence?
She muttered to herself, "But why is it such a coincidence that the disorder is happening today?"
Seeing that Zuo Baixuan was still worried, Luo Yun quickly changed the subject: "Oh, right, I haven't had a chance to ask Luan Yenan yet. Did your 'Smart Living' bidding go smoothly today?"
Jiang Lingdan rushed back after the bidding meeting and was unaware of it.
Zuo Baixuan lowered her head, showing no intention of answering.
This topic is left hanging in the air, which is too awkward.
Kan Yanghui couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up: "It's going quite smoothly. The Qin family hasn't made things difficult for us. This matter has already been put on the official website announcement. If nothing unexpected happens, the contract will be signed in the next couple of days, and there will be a small press conference and celebration ceremony in a few days. So you don't need to sell your stocks; they'll definitely go up then."
