“Miss Wilson, all the best! Charge!” a voice shouted.

“Don’t forget Bob helped you pined your number! Charge,” another yelled.

BANG!

When the starting pistol was fired, Emma shot forward like an arrow.

Emma had the momentum of a sprinter in the 3–mile long–distance run. She sprinted from the beginning. At this speed, those who didn’t know better would think they were participating in a Sprint.

The players participating in the long–distance race with Emma were stunned. They thought, ‘What is wrong with her? Did she run in the wrong race?‘ Some people even sympathized with Emma, thinking she had misremembered her event and treated the long–distance run as a sprint.

However, Emma had already completed the first lap at a very fast speed.

First lap, second lap, third lap, fourth lap…

Although Emma’s speed slowed down slightly at the end, compared to the other contestants, she was more than twice as fast.

As the distance widened, she quickly overtook the slow–running contestants two to three times. Iris also participated in the 3–mile long–distance race. When she was about to be overtaken by Emma, she was so angry that her eyes blazed with fury. She chased after Emma with all her might. However, no matter how fast she sped up, she was not as fast as Emma. She soon ran out of breath due to her chaotic pace and was in agony.

Emma, on the other hand, was still accelerating. It was as if she wasn’t exhausted. She was superb. Everyone was stunned.

“Damn. Is this woman a sports robot developed by Torang University?” one of them whispered.

“That’s fast. Does she practice triathlon every day?” another asked.

Bob also noticed Emma running like the wind on the field. Her stamina was indeed excessively good. She had just done so many push–ups. Now, she was running 3 miles so fast. Such crazy ability made it difficult not to be curious about her background.

Not long after, Emma ran a full 3 miles.

At this moment, Iris, who was in second place, had nearly finished 2 miles and was already panting.

Half of the remaining contestants who were pulled in to fill the numbers or to “experience the atmosphere” directly forfeited. The remaining people who did not forfeit “walked” on the track, turning it into a “walking competition“.

The referee was also shocked by Emma’s timing.

Even gym teachers from other schools said enviously, “Girl, what did you eat daily? How could you

run so fast?”

Emma was sweating after more than twelve laps. Her delicate face was flushed, and she even joked, “I

eat bread.”

Countless people in the crowd laughed at Emma’s humor: Even a few teachers from other schools were avid fans of Emma.

At this moment, a girl who usually sat at the desk in front of Emma rushed over. “Emma, here. Drink

some water.”

“Thanks.” After running for so long, Emma was indeed a little thirsty. If it weren’t for the fact that the competition didn’t allow it, she would have carried water and drank it while running.

If Iris, who was in deep trouble, knew what Emma was thinking, she would probably fume with anger.

Emma unscrewed the water bottle and took a big gulp. The cool water seemed to have magical power to dispel fatigue.

However, a wave of dizziness hit Emma. She found it difficult to breathe. Her entire body was burning. She quickly realized something was wrong with the bottle of water and did not continue to drink it, She spat out the remaining water in her mouth. However, she was too thirsty just now and had already taken a small sip.

At this moment, Emma was extremely weak.

Someone noticed Emma’s abnormality and said anxiously, “Emma, what’s wrong? You look so pale.”

“Don’t tell me you have a heat stroke?” another asked.

“Help! Someone has heatstroke here,” a voice shouted in alarm.

Emma’s face and lips were nala Ti

I’m not suffering from heatstroke, Imma wanted to say. But before she could, she fell to the ground

Suddenly, a pair of arms supported Emina steadily.

Bob frowned. He quickly determined Emma’s vital signs and said sternly, “Call an ambulance. She is poisoned.”

When Bob said ‘poisoned, the students were terrified. They couldn’t believe it and didn’t know how it happened. Even the students who wanted to mock Emma for putting on a brave front and getting a heatstroke shut up. Someone’s life was at stake. Someone had poisoned Emma in broad daylight.

Bob immediately forced Emma to throw up.

Emma was already very weak, but with her strong willpower, she still followed Bob’s instructions and vomited out the fatal poison.

“Quick. Call the ambulance,” someone said.

The girl who brought water to Emma quickly remembered that she had gone to the convenience store to buy water for Emma. However, when she was about to leave, a girl told her that it was not good to drink cold water after running and asked her to change it to the warm water she was holding.

At that time, she was in a hurry to buy water for Emma and did not think too much about it. Now that she thought about it, there must be something wrong with the bottle of water.

‘Something is wrong with this bottle of water, Bob.” The girl then told Bob about how she bought the

water.

Bob pondered for a moment and instructed the girl to keep the bottle of water.

After Emma finished vomiting, she fainted. Her breathing was extremely weak, as if she would go into shock at any moment.

There was still some time before the ambulance arrived. Bob did not hesitate to give Emma first aid. He did CPR on her. His movements were steady and professional. When he performed CPR, he did not hesitate at all. Everyone held their breaths and was extremely nervous.

Not long after, the ambulance rushed into the campus.

Perhaps Emma was saved in time, she suddenly woke up when she was put on the stretcher. When she was carried into the ambulance, she reached out and grabbed someone. But soon, she let go again. She fainted once more.

When Emma grabbed Bob, he was stunned for a second. He stared at the creases on his sleeves in a

daze. It was as if something had happened.

Then, Bob silently clenched his fists and walked toward the ambulance.

“Hey, Bob. You still have a competition in the afternoon. Are you not participating?” one of Bob’s friends reminded.

Bob had already stepped into the ambulance. “You take my place.”

With that, the ambulance door closed.

At the hospital, when Emma woke up, her body was no longer in discomfort.

There was another person in the room besides the doctor. It was a handsome young man in a white

shirt.

Emma remembered his name, Bob. “Were you the one who saved me?” she asked.

Bob nodded. “Yes. You woke up before you got into the ambulance and pulled my sleeve. I was worried you had something to tell me, so I came with you. I hope you don’t mind.”

Emma sized up the young man. His every word and action was well–trained and polite. At that time, she did not know that the person standing there was Bob. However, it was a habit she had practiced for many years. When she felt that she was about to die, she would pull the person closest to her to “die together“.

However, at that time, Emma did not have much strength left and could only pull Bob slightly. Otherwise, Bob wouldn’t think she was “asking him to accompany her“. Instead, he might have his head blown off.

Emma pursed her lips and said, “Thanks.”

“There’s something wrong with the bottle of mineral water you drank, but the person who poisoned it wasn’t necessarily the girl who bought you the water. It was someone else,” Bob said.

“What poison is it?” Emma asked. It was colorless and odorless, causing her to suffocate and god She actually couldn’t tell.

dizzy.

Bob replied, “It’s a special laboratory poison.”

When Emma heard this, her eyes instantly turned cold. She thought, ‘Who would go through so much trouble to kill me? Fortunately, I was alert enough and did not drink too much. Thankfully, Bob’s

judgment was accurate and I was saved in time. Otherwise, I would have been seriously ill.”
