Chapter 391: Chapter 391 I Was Right, Wasn’t I_1

One.

Two.

Three.

In the next few seconds, the Flying Dragon Team passed all four opponents of the second echelon in one breath.

It was only then that everyone started to pay attention to him again.

The speed of the Flying Dragon Team’s dragon boat was simply too fast!

This wasn’t rowing on water anymore; this was outright flying on the surface!

The Flying Dragon Team, with absolute speed, quickly caught up to the first echelon.

At this moment, the first echelon was less than a hundred meters from the finish line.

And the Flying Dragon Team still had more than two hundred meters to go.

But their speed was just too fast, fast enough to reignite the hopes of the tens of thousands of spectators.

"Come on! Flying Dragon Team! Come on!"

Along the banks of the Cang River, a tsunami-like roar erupted.

The voice enhances the spirit, and the crowd’s energy grows.

The speed of the Flying Dragon Team increased yet another notch!

The three dragon boats of the first echelon also felt a sense of urgency and sprinted with all their might.

They were thirty meters away from the finish line.

The Flying Dragon Team, following behind them, was less than fifty meters away.

All of the hundreds of thousands of spectators were boiling with excitement.

The cheers for the Flying Dragon Team were overwhelming.

Zhao Wenming saw this and was utterly baffled. He kicked his lackey in the stomach and hissed through clenched teeth.

"What the hell did you give them, weak water or Power Pill?! Explain yourself!"

The lackey looked aggrieved.

"Boss, I don’t know what’s going on either. Don’t worry, they’ll reach the finish line soon, and they’re sure to win! The Flying Dragon Team is still so far behind, there’s no way they can catch up."

However, while he was speaking, the Flying Dragon Team, as if they had hit a blink key, pulled a miraculous comeback just fifteen meters from the finish line, leaving Zhao Wenming’s Venom Snake Team behind.

When they finally crossed the finish line, they were a full half boat-length ahead of the opposition!

Exciting!

Thrilling!

Awesome!

The entire Cang River riverbank completely erupted.

People roared to the skies, cheering loudly.

It was a taste of celebration for all under heaven.

Looking at Zhao Wenming and his two companions, they were standing with elongated necks and agape mouths, completely stunned on the spot.

It wasn’t just them who couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed; even Zhu Guangbo was stunned.

Swallowing his saliva, he asked Ye Fei in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, you must have lent a hand, right? How else could..."

Ye Fei smiled lightly, "What do you think?"

With this response, Zhu Guangbo immediately understood and felt even more grateful to Ye Fei.

The hundreds of thousands of spectators were also immersed in an incredible euphoria.

Only Zhao Wenming and the other two wealthy men, after the initial shock, became furious.

"We were so far ahead, how could we be so easily overtaken! There’s something fishy here! Definitely something fishy!"

"Exactly! How could a dragon boat go that fast? The Flying Dragon Team must have cheated, we protest!"

"Inspection, there must be a thorough inspection! There must be some kind of propulsion device beneath the dragon boat! If not, I’ll twist off my own head!"

Zhu Guangbo, hearing these words, sneered in disdain.

"Gentlemen, it seems like you just can’t accept losing. If you can’t accept it, just say so, why resort to such shamelessness?"

Zhao Wenming straightened up and retorted, "Who’s being shameless? Dare to let the judges conduct a thorough investigation? If the referees say you didn’t cheat, then I’ll have nothing more to say."

In the eyes of Zhao Wenming and company, for the boat to move that quickly without cheating would be a strange matter indeed.

The jury would surely do them justice, and then Zhu Guangbo’s face would only be slapped harder.

Their demands were quickly accepted by the referees.

After an inspection, the referees announced their verdict.

"Lane four’s dragon boat committed a severe foul, disqualified on the spot. The Flying Dragon Team did not cheat; the championship stands."

Upon seeing this outcome, Zhao Wenming and the others were filled with dissatisfaction in their hearts.

But they dared not question it to their faces.

Mainly because, for this dragon boat festival, the Mu Family was the main organizer and the biggest sponsor.

Causing trouble here would mean going against the Mu Family, which would be tantamount to courting death.

Left with no choice, the three men had to accept reality.

"Alright. Old Zhu, we admit it, we lost this time. Congratulations, you’ve finally gotten your wish and taken the championship."

Zhao Wenming and his companions reluctantly congratulated Zhu Guangbo.

Zhu Guangbo didn’t want to fall out with them either, so he returned the gesture dryly.

The incident should have been settled there.

But just then, Little Ye naively asked Ye Fei, "Eh, Daddy, weren’t these few grandpas here to bet with Grandpa Zhu?"

"Now that they’ve lost, why haven’t they been punished? Umm... When you play games with Little Ye, losing always means getting punished, right?"

Since the dragon boat race had ended, there were no longer any sounds of drums and gongs.

And as the VIP seating area was quite quiet, Little Ye’s words were remarkably clear.

Zhao Wenming and his companions froze on the spot when they heard this.

Zhu Guangbo’s facial muscles also twitched slightly.

The others around them also fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

Yet Ye Fei looked up with a smile, caressing his daughter’s little head and said, "Silly girl, those who agree to a bet have to accept the loss. How could the three grandpas be men who don’t keep their word? Don’t worry, they’ll keep their promises."

As Ye Fei spoke, he turned to look at Zhao Wenming and his companions with a smile.

"Am I right?"
