Shen Yi took first place.
By the end of the race, it was down to just Chen Feng and Shen Yi. No one thought much of it, since first and second place were both going to students from Class 10 anyway. But who would have thought that during the final sprint, the person in second would suddenly overtake the one in first?
People back then didn't have a word for the kind of intense, internal competition that would later be called a "rat race," but up in the stands, Qin Jiao was quite happy to see Shen Yi beat Chen Feng.
Seeing the sullen look on Lin Nian's face made Qin Jiao even happier.
She was starting to understand. Lin Nian no longer saw her as a concern and was instead focused on latching onto Chen Feng to help him seize the Shen Family's fortune.
Shen Yi's poor health and volatile temper were their main points of attack against him, so it would have been odd for Lin Nian to be happy now that Shen Yi had beaten Chen Feng in the race.
