Tan Ximin didn't make Liu Yi wait any longer. It only took two days, or less than a day and a half to be exact, for Joe to call him and bring him exciting news: they had successfully found Che Wenjie and Wu Dehui!

Upon hearing the good news, Liu Yi eagerly accompanied Tan Ximin to visit these two key figures. Upon arrival, they carefully observed Che Wenjie and Wu Dehui, specifically instructing nearby security personnel to closely monitor their every move. For Liu Yi, Che Wenjie's true potential would only emerge after his encounter with Gu Jing. As for Wu Dehui, he was currently just an ordinary office worker, and would only have the opportunity to cultivate the formidable Tathagata Palm after he and his unreliable friend journeyed inland to rescue the princess. Therefore, Liu Yi felt it was sufficient to simply assign someone to guard the area and report any new developments immediately.

Liu Yi and Tan Ximin then rushed to A-Zu's garage. When A-Zu saw Huadi arrive, his face didn't betray much joy. After all, he knew full well that Huadi had come to compete for his father's club and had won the championship. Deep within A-Zu, a surge of uncontrollable jealousy and deep resentment towards his father surged. He believed his father had killed his mother and didn't support him in racing, otherwise he would have won the championship long ago. Now, he longed to race against Huadi. However, Tan Ximin, standing beside Liu Yi, felt quite differently. "As expected," he thought to himself, "I knew Huadi would come to me for this very reason! How could there be so many people like them in this world? What was Huadi's motive in seeking them out?"

Jiale was busy inside the shop when he suddenly caught sight of a figure swaying near the door. His heart raced, and he quickly dropped his work and rushed out. When he saw who it was, Jiale's eyes widened, a look of astonishment and delight on his face—standing before him was his idol!

At this moment, Jiale's heartbeat quickened with excitement, his hands trembling slightly. He wanted to step forward and shake Wah Di's hand to show his respect, but his inner nervousness made him hesitate. In the end, he just stood aside silently, like a shy little fanboy, staring at Wah Di with eyes full of admiration.

At this time, Liu Yi broke the silence first, smiled and extended his right hand to Jiale, and introduced himself: "Hello, Jiale, I'm Huadi. I came here specially to see A Zu today for something." Faced with such a kind and friendly behavior of his idol, Jiale was flattered, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, and stammered in response: "Hua... Hello Brother Hua, A Zu is in there, I'll call him out right away. Um... can you sign an autograph for me later?" As he spoke, Jiale could not hide his excitement, as if he had received the most precious gift in the world.

For Ka Lok, Wah Di embodies both the commanding presence of a gangster boss and the radiant glory of a Grand Prix champion. This perfect image is his ultimate dream. He has countlessly imagined himself stepping onto the thrilling circuit of Macau and winning the championship trophy; he has also countlessly envisioned himself as the awe-inspiring boss, commanding his fellow lords and ruling the empire.

Seeing that Zu still hadn't appeared, Jiale was extremely anxious. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Zu, come out quickly! Brother Hua is here and he said he wants to see you!" However, there was no movement from inside the house. Seeing this, Jiale could no longer contain his anger. He turned and rushed into the store, grabbed Zu, who was still pacing slowly, and dragged him out. However, Jiale had completely ignored the fact that Huadi knew his name.

"Brother Hua, this is A-Zu.~~~~~" Then Jiale was speechless, because he suddenly found that there were three people standing in front of him who looked exactly the same. He felt that Huadi looked familiar when he saw him on TV before, but he didn't know why he looked familiar. It turned out that he was exactly the same as A-Zu.

Afterwards, Ah Zu stood there in a daze, as if under a spell, his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief. He simply couldn't imagine that there were actually two people in the world who looked exactly like him! At this moment, Liu Yi, who had been silent the entire time, finally broke the deadlock and slowly said, "I'm sure you already know who I am. You should know where I won the championship and which team I represent in the competition. I came here this time simply to ask if you are interested in participating in next year's Grand Prix?"

Ah Zu took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure, and then responded firmly, "If you want to represent that person's team, I'm sorry I can't comply." Seeing this, Jia Le, who was standing nearby, became extremely anxious and began to dance with joy, muttering, "Ah Zu, why won't you agree?"

Faced with A'Zu's resolute attitude, Liu Yi remained unmoved. Instead, he pressed on, "Are you really determined? You know, since you already know that person's background, why not take this opportunity to smooth things over and make peace with him? Don't you want to showcase your prowess in various competitions?" However, A'Zu remained unmoved. He shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, "Brother Hua, you don't know. Although I'm well aware of your abilities and patience, some things aren't as simple as they appear. This is especially true of the entanglement between him and me. The underlying story is intricate and can't be explained in a few words. We're very happy to meet Brother Hua today. Jiale is incredibly respectful of you. If it's convenient, shall we go for a drink together?"

"There's no rush to have a drink. How about we go for a run first?" Liu Yi put forward his idea.

"Great! It's my honor to compete with Brother Hua! I'll close the garage door first, wait a moment." With that, A-Zu swiftly closed the garage door and carefully pushed out his prized car. Then, he and Brother Hua discussed which road to take for this fierce competition.

At this moment, Liu Yi turned to look at Jiale, who was standing there in a daze, and Tan Ximin, who was standing nearby, and said, "Jiale, what are you daydreaming about? Let's compete together. As for Mr. Tan, please wait here for a moment, or go to the bar next door with Joe for a couple of drinks. I'll pay." Hearing this, Jiale was ecstatic. The opportunity to compete with his idol, even just this one experience, was enough for him to brag about for a whole year! So, he ran towards his motorcycle with great joy and excitement.

About half an hour later, Liu Yi led A-Zu and Jia-Le back to their original location, where they found Tan Ximin and Joe at a nearby bar. The final results of the competition were unsurprising: Wah Di took first place, A-Zu followed closely behind in second place, and Jia-Le took third place. However, surprisingly, despite their loss, A-Zu and Jia-Le showed no sign of discouragement or dejection. After all, in this brief yet thrilling contest, Wah Di had fully demonstrated his exceptional strength. Facing such a formidable opponent, A-Zu and Jia-Le knew their own shortcomings and accepted their defeat with equanimity and conviction.

"A-Zu, Jiale, haven't you two ever considered reaching new heights, gaining greater power, and achieving breakthroughs?" Liu Yi asked slowly, his glass in hand, his eyes gleaming with wisdom and anticipation. Jiale, still visibly reveling in the excitement of the intense competition, responded without hesitation, "Brother Hua, why bother asking? Of course I do! Could it be that you have some brilliant plan?" His words betrayed an unmistakable eagerness.

Liu Yi smiled slightly and turned his gaze to A'zu who was silent beside him, and asked softly: "What about A'zu? What do you think?" Faced with Liu Yi's question, A'zu was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass without hesitation, and then answered in an unusually firm tone: "Brother Hua, please forgive me for being frank. Although I am very honored to make a friend like you, I really can't join that person's team." His voice was not loud, but with an unshakable determination.

Liu Yi seemed to have expected Azu to give such an answer. He sighed softly and continued earnestly, "Azu, I know a little about your past experiences. After all, you have always harbored resentment towards your father, right? But as his own flesh and blood, don't you know what kind of person he is? The saying 'sharp tongue but soft heart' is the most appropriate way to describe him. As for your stepmother, she also cares deeply for you. It's just that due to many factors, she seems to be a little bit too cautious in the way she treats you. "It's just a dilemma. If she dotes on you too much, she might be criticized for deliberately encouraging your bad behavior; but if she's too strict with you, she's afraid of being accused of stepson abuse. In reality, their love for you has never diminished. It's just that there are some hidden secrets that you may not know yet. Think about it, every time you deliberately defeated a driver in your father's team, who was quietly cleaning up the mess behind the scenes?" At this point, Liu Yi paused, giving A-Zu enough time to think and reflect.

"As a junior, you should actively take this crucial first step! Do you really expect your father, who is as stubborn as a donkey, to be the first to admit his mistakes to you? You must know that in this life, you only have this one biological father who is connected to you by blood. Moreover, your mother has left you. Do you have to wait until you are old to regret and regret that you have not fulfilled your filial duties? Believe me, if your mother were still alive, she would surely watch with joy as you bravely take this step. So, don't hesitate any longer, hurry to his team! This is not only for your father's sake, but more importantly, only by doing so can you help you achieve your heart's desire and realize your grand ambitions. If you insist on not going, then Jiale will definitely not leave either. After all, if it weren't for you, Jiale would probably have gone to Macau to participate in the competition long ago. How long are you going to delay him?" Liu Yi persuaded earnestly, his words sincere.

Hearing this, A Zu remained silent. After a long while, he slowly said, "Brother Hua, give me some time to think about it." Fortunately, A Zu did not explicitly refuse after all.

"No problem. I'll be waiting for you there tomorrow. I'm sure you know the exact location. However, I can only wait until ten o'clock at the latest." Without hesitation, Liu Yi reached out his hands and grabbed A-Zu and Tan Ximin. Then, turning to A-Zu, he solemnly instructed, "When you return home, you must think carefully about this. I'll tell you the answer tomorrow, but remember not to reveal a single word to anyone else." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yi grabbed Tan Ximin and Joe and left.

The meticulous Tan Ximin had already grasped Hua Di's true intention in inviting him here. In that brief moment, the information he had received was like a revelation, completely clarifying Hua Di's intentions. As a veteran private investigator, Tan Ximin had witnessed countless bizarre and incredible things. However, what he had just experienced was far beyond his previous understanding. If he had to find a metaphor to describe this precise and clear transmission of information between people, he would probably have to use the mysterious and unpredictable transmission of power from a distance in martial arts novels to embody this miraculous phenomenon.

Liu Yi held Tan Ximin's hand tightly as they led her and Joe to Qi Ge's office. They were silent the entire way, but a tense and mysterious atmosphere hung between them. As the car approached their destination, Liu Yi suddenly gestured for Joe to get out and leave on his own. Although somewhat puzzled, Joe complied, leaving Liu Yi and Tan Ximin to continue their journey.

Finally arriving at the door of Seventh Brother's office, Liu Yi stopped, gently pushed the door open, and then slowly closed it. The room was silent, with only the sound of their gentle breathing intertwined. Liu Yi turned around, staring at Tan Ximin with a sharp gaze, and said in a low voice, "You are so smart, you should have guessed it."

Tan Ximin frowned slightly, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something. He took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to respond, "I guessed a little bit... If my answer today doesn't satisfy you, will I be unable to leave this door?" His tone was filled with a hint of uneasiness and fear.

Liu Yi's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile on his face. He took a step forward, approaching Tan Ximin, and lowered his voice. "Perhaps... It all depends on your own choice. But before that, I have an important question for you. What do you think of Hong Kong's return to the motherland? Think about it carefully, and don't give me those clichéd, unoriginal official rhetoric!" His words carried an invisible pressure, as if warning Tan Ximin to approach the issue with caution.
