The second match of ApL was held the next day, and Jiang Xiuyu's F team gave up in this match.

The reason is that Jiang Xiuyu went missing, and there was no suitable person in the team to fill the gap.

No one in the Jiang family knew about Jiang Xiuyu's disappearance.

This even became a trending topic on Weibo, with people saying that F team's jungler Jiang Xiuyu couldn't accept defeat.

Negative news flooded in at once.

Because Team F withdrew, the championship battle became a contest between Team H and another team.

Without a doubt, Team F won the overall championship of the ApL Summer National Tournament and took home a prize of 50 million.

Xiao Luoan, as the largest investor, personally presented the award to Si Muzhi.

The host also asked Si Muzhi to give an acceptance speech.

He picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and said, "First of all, I must thank my family. We grew up together. Although we are not related by blood, we are closer than siblings."

At this moment, the camera focused on Si Jinyan, who gave a graceful smile.

"Secondly, I would like to thank the sponsors."

He didn't want to say who it was.

"Finally, I want to thank my opponent, Jiang Xiuyu. Although we are enemies, we were once teammates who fought side by side."

"He's not a coward, so Jiang Xiuyu, come back soon. If you've already regretted something, then make amends instead of running away!"

At this moment, in a small rented room, Jiang Xiuyu was curled up on the sofa watching this scene.

He turned off all communication devices, and no one could find his whereabouts.

He just wanted to stay here quietly, preferably where no one could find him.

Neither his younger sister nor his mother liked him.

Thinking about what he had said and done, he could do nothing but slap himself.

"Little sister, Mom."

He pursed his lips and looked at Si Muzhi on the screen.

This man used to be his good brother, his best friend.

The two of them could talk about anything.

Later, Si Muzhi learned that he was actually one of Si Jinyan's older brothers, and their relationship slowly began to crack.

The final straw that broke their team was a match, where the two players tried to prove that their own methods were the most effective.

The teams were essentially divided into two factions.

This incident created a grudge that ultimately ended with Si Muzhi's departure.

Jiang Xiuyu was quite drunk and collapsed on the sofa, almost unconscious.

"I knew you'd be here."

A man walked in, and I could vaguely make out who he was.

"You said before that this place was your secret base, which made it hard for me to find. You were hiding in such a secluded place."

Si Muzhi approached him with a try-it-out mentality.

After all, the two used to talk about everything.

They share the same ideals and plan to be brothers for life.

This room, which is about 20 square meters, has a bed, a toilet, and even the sofa is a small three-seater.

They were piled up in one room, making it look very crowded.

Jiang Xiuyu's long legs were dangling off the sofa, his cheeks were flushed, and he was holding a can of wine in his hand.

"Si Muzhi?"

Jiang Xiuyu blinked his heavy eyelids. That person really looked like Si Muzhi.

How could that man possibly be here? They are enemies.

I just saw him speaking on TV.

How could it possibly appear here all of a sudden?

It must be a dream.

"Being a turtle in such a cramped room is quite your style."

Seeing him acting as if he were going to die, Si Muzhi couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Indeed, no matter the circumstances, men cannot tolerate being provoked.

Jiang Xiuyu immediately jumped up, staggering as he pointed at Si Muzhi and said, "I'm not a turtle."

"But it looks like one to me. A person huddled here, abandoning their teammates, what else could it be but a turtle?"

Si Muzhi held his wrist and then let go.

"Sigh, you're right."

When talking about his teammates, Jiang Xiuyu's eyes lowered, his thick eyelashes obscuring the light in them.

The people I feel most sorry for are my teammates.

He knew that, of course, which is why he had even less courage to face them now.

"Just think of me as a tortoise."

After saying that, Jiang Xiuyu collapsed onto the sofa.

Ignore everything and don't listen or look; be an ostrich, bury yourself in the sand, and you won't know what's happening outside.

He can comfortably stay inside this tortoise shell.

Si Muzhi sat on the bed to the side, not saying a word, just watching Jiang Xiuyu.

The next morning, when Jiang Xiuyu woke up, he saw Si Muzhi lying in bed.

I sobered up considerably in an instant.

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Xiuyu's eyes widened as he pulled Si Muzhi up.

What are you doing in my room?

Si Muzhi yawned, still feeling a bit sleepy.

"I got it from the landlord. I told him my friend was dying inside."

Si Muzhi recalled the scene yesterday when he went to the landlord to get the key. After the landlord opened the door for him, he saw Jiang Xiuyu lying half-dead inside and let him in without hesitation.

The landlord also said that if he was going to die, he shouldn't die in her room, and told Si Muzhi to take him to the hospital immediately.

"she!"

Jiang Xiuyu was speechless. What happened to the secret base?

It was so easy for someone to break in.
