But Lin Yan would not change his decision, as the Isle of Man was more of a test for him, a tempering of his state of mind. In his previous life, Lin Yan was an invincible existence in MotoGP, hailed as the successor to legends.
However, Lin Yan had a fatal flaw at the time: an unstable heart rate, especially in high-speed corners, where his heart rate could reach a staggering 190 beats per minute.
What did this mean? A normal person's heart rate exceeding 170 would be life-threatening. In one race, Lin Yan's heart rate exceeded 170 an average of eight times.
This meant that Lin Yan's heart rate could have led to heart failure, mental confusion, or even sudden death during races.
After the race, Lin Yan's sports psychologist, John Hodes, conducted a thorough examination but found no physical issues.
John believed that Lin Yan's rapid heart rate was due to his decreasing tolerance for external stimuli as he aged.
Countless rehabilitation training sessions yielded no results. If Lin Yan's mental state hadn't improved after competing on the Isle of Man, he would likely have retired that year.
Perhaps it was the life-and-death test at the Isle of Man TT that gradually normalized Lin Yan's heart rate, making it even steadier.
After a year-long absence from racing, his return in his first year back surprised everyone.
In 16 races that year, he won 15 individual titles. The only race he didn't win was due to a crash and retirement; in the remaining fifteen, he secured victory. Lin Yan once again displayed the terrifying competitiveness of rider number 27.
At that time,
Lin Yan naturally noticed the gaze of the triangular-eyed youth. He pulled Su Mojin behind him and stared directly at the youth in front of him.
Su Mojin was his intended woman, and Lin Yan would never allow anyone to covet his woman. As for Li Yuhan, who stood beside the triangular-eyed youth, Lin Yan couldn't recall who she was and didn't even glance at her.
Wei Shaoting looked at Lin Yan, who was staring directly at him, and a hint of disdain flickered in his eyes. Lin Yan had just come from the fourth floor, while Wei Shaoting had descended from the 21st floor of Jialin. He usually didn't bother with such 'low-level' individuals.
But now...
Seeing Su Mojin behind Lin Yan, Wei Shaoting's lips curved into a sinister smile. Although he hadn't "conquered" Li Yuhan yet, playing around with a ponytail seemed like a good idea.
When Li Yuhan first saw Lin Yan, her heart leaped with joy. Compared to scoundrels like Wei Hua, who were infamous for their unscrupulous methods, Lin Yan was much better. At least he wouldn't force her.
Li Yuhan's family ran a trading company, and a batch of goods urgently needed to be shipped overseas. However, Wei Shaoting, leveraging his family's influence, had forcibly stopped the shipment at customs.
He had also pressured her to go out to dinner with him.
Although the Wei family was powerful, they were still somewhat inferior to the Lin Corporation. Moreover, Wei Shaoting was merely the second son of the Wei family.
