479: Imprisonment

Not long after, Brian quieted down and fell asleep, though he occasionally mumbled Jennifer’s name.

Just then, his phone rang.

Of course, Brian couldn’t hear it.

The dancer naturally took the phone from his pants pocket and saw “Sharma, Tata Trading President” displayed on the screen.

The avatar was clearly an elite dressed in an Indian style.

This person seemed to have a good relationship with Brian, calling him frequently.

She glanced at Brian and answered the call:

“Sorry, Mr. Sharma, Brian is not available to take the call right now.”

“Who are you?”

Sharma’s voice was surprised, and he widened his eyes.

“I…”

The woman hesitated for a moment, as if making a decision:

“I’m his girlfriend, Angelina. If there’s anything, you can tell me, and I’ll relay it to Brian.”

“Girlfriend?”

Sharma was clearly stunned for a moment:

“Brian, that good-for-nothing, still has time to get a girlfriend? What’s the use of telling you? Wake him up quickly.”

Having no choice, Angelina had to wake Brian up.

“What… what’s the matter? Mr. Sharma?”

Brian mumbled groggily.

Sharma now knew that Brian wouldn’t remember anything he said.

The next day at noon, Brian woke up to find Angelina gone.

“Honey!”

Brian’s small room only had a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom.

He searched everywhere but couldn’t find her.

Finally, Brian checked his phone and found a message from the dancer.

“After reading the news, I realized how much of a genius Jennifer is. With just two months of training, she managed to surpass the former King of Cars, Verstappen, to become the first female F1 champion in history.

How remarkable she is, truly the pride of us women.

I also understood why she left you: because you weren’t worthy of her.

And yesterday, that Indian, Sharma, called and asked why Jennifer didn’t cause trouble? Why did she win the championship? He said she and you were accomplices, aiming to sabotage Fenglei.

I want to know, why is this?

This world always seems to have things I don’t know, constantly overturning my perceptions.

Like you, it’s the same.

I’ve never been in love in my life; I don’t know what love is.

But seeing you spend so much money on me, I thought that was love.

But in reality, I was just Jennifer’s substitute.

I thought Jennifer was the pride of women, but Sharma told me she was just a spy, an agent.

Now I no longer know what is real and what is fake.

I need to go back to where I was born, back to my hometown, to calm down properly.

Goodbye.”

Brian’s heart turned to ashes when he saw this message.

In just two short months, he had been dumped twice.

Oh, no, Jennifer had no relationship with him whatsoever.

Furthermore, there was also a text message on his phone from Sharma telling him not to contact him anymore.

What value did he still have in Director Max’s eyes?

Brian was beyond tears.

Just then, the hotel bill was sent to his phone’s email.

It was a notice of overdue payment.

Hmm?

Shouldn’t the fees have been directly deducted from his card?

Brian checked and found that his card had been maxed out.

His unrestrained spending during this period had unknowingly used up all his public funds.

Did this mean he was about to become the first United States agent to wander homeless in Europe?

…

Half a month later, in a court in Italy.

Montes, looking calm with handcuffs, was escorted out by court police.

The surrounding flashbulbs flashed non-stop, and curses could occasionally be heard.

“Shameless murderer, go back to your India, don’t stay in our prison, wasting taxpayers’ money.”

“People who wipe their butts with their hands are disgusting, they have no morals.”

“I suspect there are others behind him who haven’t been exposed; he’s just a scapegoat.”

“I used to like him a lot; young Montes was so spirited, but I never expected him to turn out like this after entering the F1 professional league. It’s so disappointing.”

“This is the consequence of a lack of education; his parents should bear most of the responsibility for this.”

Ren Yi, Verstappen, Jennifer, Carlos, and a host of Fenglei employees were at a loss for words at this moment.

After many days of investigation, evidence collection, and rigorous deduction with their legal team and F1 technical personnel, they finally confirmed that Montes had indeed deliberately caused accidents on the F1 track.

Because this accident had a significant impact, all drivers except Jennifer and Verstappen lost their race results.

They jointly initiated a lawsuit against Montes.

During the investigation, it was also discovered that Montes had long been receiving funding from Sharma, the president of Tata Trading Group.

However, Montes stated that everything was due to his own selfish motives, that he exploited Mr. Sharma’s trust in him to plan and execute this criminal activity.

Ultimately, Montes was sentenced to prison and fined several million euro.

This meant his latter half of life was completely over.

Ren Yi also felt deeply regretful about this outcome.

A promising future star in the racing world would actually do such a thing.

However, he felt that this matter might not be unrelated to Sharma.

Sharma had previously come to China to buy cars but was rejected by him and a host of Chinese car companies.

Coupled with the fact that their Tata Group has always considered itself the number one financial group in Asia, it was very likely that they couldn’t accept the loss of face, which led to private retaliation and such extreme measures.

“I estimate Sharma won’t just let this go. It seems we’ll have to be careful of Tata Group in the future.”

“We won!”

Jennifer came over to congratulate him.

“I really didn’t expect Montes to be such a narrow-minded villain. He could have had a bright future. Even under the shadows of Jennifer and me, his chances of winning a championship were slim, but top three or top five were still possible.

And I’m retiring in two years. With his talent and strength, he could thrive in any team. It’s truly a pity.”

Verstappen didn’t hate Montes as much; instead, he felt that the other party had merely taken a wrong turn for the sake of victory and still had a chance to reform.

“The path is his own choice; he should be responsible for it,” Ren Yi said with a smile.

“Indeed.”

Verstappen nodded helplessly.

At this time, reporters took a group photo of the celebrating Fenglei team with the arrested Montes in the background, which was placed on the hot search as the news cover.

“Montes is not wrong; he fought for the honor of us Indians! The court should immediately declare him innocent!”

“Oh, come on. If Jennifer and Verstappen weren’t such skilled drivers, they might be two corpses by now. This is clearly attempted murder; how could he be innocent?”

“The thought process of Indians is truly incomprehensible. Well, it makes sense; what good can come from a bunch of people who defecate all over Canadian beaches?”

“Serves him right. Spending the rest of his life in prison is the best outcome for him. If he gets out, he’ll only continue to harm others.”

“However, to be fair, the quality of Fenglei’s racing cars is really good. I even want to buy one.”

“Didn’t Fenglei already launch sales across Europe? From the civilian-friendly Fenglei M11 to the thor m14, they have everything. If you don’t have money, you can also buy the Fengling Series, jointly developed by Fenglei and Wuling.”

“What? The Wuling ‘old man’s happy car’ that’s popular in Europe was co-developed with Fenglei?”

“More than that, most of the charging stations you’re using now are developed and manufactured by Fenglei.”

“I have to say, Chinese manufacturing is truly amazing!”

“Who would have thought that internal combustion engines, which Western countries monopolized for decades, would be surpassed by new energy in just ten years.”

“Actually, the West has also been researching electric vehicles for a long time; it’s just that the oil magnates controlled the market and didn’t allow new energy to rise.”
