Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiaoyan, Im going to check on your grandfather. He Muyun spoke up, her eyes turning red. She stood up and strode in the direction of the study.

Soon, her second uncle also left with a sigh. In the end, only Lin Yan and He Lefeng were left.

Lin Yan beckoned He Lefeng to a corner. Xiaofeng, I have something to tell you

He Lefeng quickly consoled her. Sister, dont mind what they said about you earlier

Dont worry, Im fine. I want to talk to you about something else. I heard you saying that your navigator left? Lin Yan interjected.

In a rally race, every team was composed by a driver and a navigator.

The navigator was also the drivers eyes. They had to sit in the passenger seat and report on the situation.

Many people misunderstood the role of a navigator and thought that they only read the news to the driver. They assumed that the role of a navigator was insignificant.

In fact, an experienced navigator could analyze accurately the track, the corners, the length of a route and its dangers, the speed of the wind, and the moisture level of the roads surface. Thus, the role of the navigator was to inform the racer about the most suitable speed and gear position. That way, the racer could save time analyzing the track and increase their speed.

Hence, a good navigator was the most powerful brain in a rally race.

He Lefeng looked embarrassed as he scratched his head. Yeah, he ran away

When a racers navigator was gone, they felt as embarrassed as a man whose wife had run away.

He Lefeng replied helplessly, I was too useless

Do you have any suitable candidates? asked Lin Yan.

He Lefeng shook his head. Many navigators arent professional these days. Its hard to find a good one. Besides, we have fallen out with Tang Zhenyings team. He will definitely deter us

Lin Yan nodded in comprehension. If you really cant find a suitable navigator, I could be yours.

He Lefeng was startled. You?

He had assumed that Lin Yan was clueless about racing. It had never crossed his mind that she would suddenly suggest being his navigator.

He Lefeng smiled and said, Sister, I know youre trying to help, but you might have some misconceptions about racing. A navigator doesnt read the newspaper to a driver. A navigator needs to analyze information about the race track, the weather, and the condition of the car. His experience should be on par with the drivers. Not just anyone can sit beside the driver

He Lefeng paused and sighed heavily. Besides, a navigator also needs a professional racing license. You definitely cant enter the competition

Lin Yan didnt explain. She merely replied, I have the license.

He Lefeng was surprised. Why would you have one?

Lin Yan expounded. Actually, Fourth Uncle taught me how to race, but my mom is a worrywart. Hence, I didnt tell anyone that he had been giving me lessons in secret. Unfortunately, I havent been exposed to racing for a long time, so my license belongs to the most basic category. Its merely enough for me to be a navigator

He Lefeng chuckled. Wow, I really didnt think youd be a racer. Its an achievement for a girl to get a professional driving license!

Lin Yan replied, If you really need me, let me know.

He Lefeng nodded happily. Okay! Thank you anyway!
