Lin Meng hung up the phone quickly, as if she was afraid to hear him speak again.

Yu Mo was stunned for a moment. He had just returned to Team E's base and hadn't even had time to take off his woolen coat. At this moment, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Lao Mai was just about to come down to find something to eat when he witnessed the quarrel. He couldn't help but ask, "Is it the Lemon God?"

"Yeah." Yu Mo replied in a low voice while holding the phone.

"I think this is incredibly strange," Lao Mai said, clutching his thermos. "Winter is at the peak of her career right now. If Meng Shen were to terminate her contract now, wouldn't that be a bit harsh on Winter? Isn't that a bit too harsh on her?" He paused, wondering, "Captain, could it be that Winter is treating her poorly? After all, with Meng Shen's current buzz, there should be a lot of teams trying to poach her, right?"

Yu Mo raised his eyes and said, "You also think that LEMON is not a person who is obsessed with money?"

Lao Mai curled his lips and answered honestly, "Captain, don't think I'm being harsh. If she's blinded by money, she could just follow you. I think you'd be quite happy to let her follow you. Why is she suffering like that?"

Yu Mo: “…”

The words may be rough, but the truth is there.

But this is also what Yu Mo finds most difficult to understand. Why does Lin Meng suddenly have such a big opinion of him?

Is there anything I can't solve for her? She has to make such a distinction between close and distant relatives and do something so devastating.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he immediately called Crystal.

When Crystal received the call, she exploded on the spot like a lit firecracker.

"Silence, I'm warning you, don't fucking come and accuse me!" He sneered, "The people you brought with you are so arrogant! Yeah, she carried a few games and you really thought Winter couldn't do it without her, right? Let me tell you, a good support is hard to find, but I have a sniper in my hand! I've already signed someone, sixteen years old, a talented youth trainee, in their prime age. Even if you want to plead for LEMON to come back now, it's too late! This opportunity will be gone forever! I'm going to show her that Winter can still make it to the semi-finals and the finals without her!" He seemed to have broken the pen in his hand, making a "snap" sound, "How dare you act so arrogantly and give me a cold shoulder? You're outrageous!"

Yu Mo closed his eyes for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Crystal, I want to know what happened."

"What happened?" Crystal asked coldly, "Won't you go to Winter's official blog to check it out?"

Yu Mo was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "I want to know the details."

"The detail is that LEMON asked me for 30 million right out of the gate." Crystal said, "30 million, she's crazy! Ask any active Winter players if they've already earned 30 million? Does she think the money just fell from the sky?"

Yu Mo's heart skipped a beat: "Didn't you ask her why she suddenly wanted so much money?"

"I asked her, but she refused to tell me, saying she needed money urgently." Crystal said sarcastically, "She must have suddenly made a fortune and wanted to buy some high-end luxury goods. I tried to persuade her not to spend lavishly at such a young age, and that saving money was the most important thing. But she didn't listen to me, so what can I do?"

"Maybe you don't want to buy anything?"

"That means she can't pay back the loan sharks." Crystal snorted. "I've seen a lot of people like that. She wouldn't even be able to pay back 50 million, let alone 30 million. People who owe loan sharks are a cancer to the base. The sooner they leave, the easier it will be."

Yu Mo had been suppressing his anger towards Crystal's attitude, but now he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Crystal." He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice less aggressive. "I don't ask you to treat every active player as a family member, but at least, ask clearly."

"I've already done my best by asking her a question." Crystal said coldly, "Why? Should I still worship her like an ancestor?"

Yu Mo knew that there was nothing more to say to Crystal. Interpersonal relationships were the most unpredictable thing. They could be close or distant. But he was sure of one thing at least: Lin Meng left Winter for the 30 million.

With Lin Meng's personality, she would definitely not ask others for money with a shameless face. She has a strong sense of principle and justice. She didn't blink an eye when she helped Lin Sitian. So negotiating the signing fee with Crystal may be the biggest compromise she can make. If the talks fail, she will not continue to beg for money, but will only think of finding other ways.

It has been a while since he stayed in Winter, and at least he should have some comradeship of life and death. When Lin Xiaomeng did this, he probably cursed himself in his heart.

Even under such tremendous psychological pressure, she still terminated the contract. What kind of terrible incident did she encounter?

Yu Mo hung up the phone, lowered his eyes and thought deeply, just as the bell rang, someone came down from upstairs.

"Breaking news," Zhong Xiang said, "Silence, your old boss is back."

"What old boss?" Yu Mo asked absentmindedly.

"Who else could it be?" Zhong Xiang said, "Tang Jinhai, who used to run Kars!"

Yu Mo raised his head suddenly.

"Tang Jinhai?" Xiao Xingheng also looked over following the sound and asked in surprise, "Did you see it? Are you sure you saw it correctly?"

"A friend of mine said he saw Tang Jinhai opening a bank account. The name is correct, but I'm not sure if it's him." Zhong Xiang said, "Didn't they say he went overseas for business? Why is he back all of a sudden?"

"Are you thinking of going back to your old ways?" Xiao Xingheng said, glancing at Yu Mo. "He didn't contact you?"

"No." Yu Mo said.

"It seems that he is not too thick-skinned and has no sense of shame." Xiao Xingheng snorted.

"Maybe it's not about knowing shame." Yu Mo murmured to himself, "It's just that he found a more suitable prey than me."

Guo Bo ordered two bowls of wontons and a few roujiamo in the snack bar, and saw Lin Meng coming in wrapped in a down jacket.

The weather in the south either doesn't get colder, or when it does, it's unpredictable. There's some rain and snow outside, and there's ice in the air.

"Boss Meng!" Guo Bo shouted, "Over here, over here."

These days, his lawyer told him that there was a high possibility of winning the lawsuit. Guo Bo was so happy that he could eat two more bowls of rice, and he was even more grateful to Lin Meng.

Lin Meng sat down across the table without saying a word.

This is just an ordinary roadside snack bar. When the two of them were playing as substitutes, they would look down on such shops when ordering takeout from the Internet cafe. But now that Guo Bo is short of money, he can feel comfortable in a shop like this.

Seeing that Lin Meng didn't move, Guo Bo broke off the chopsticks and stuffed them into her hand, saying, "Eat quickly, or it will get cold if you don't."

Lin Meng hummed softly and lowered her head.

Her hair was not tied up and was hanging loose on her shoulders. If she lowered her head, it would fall into the soup.

Guo Bo was startled and quickly reached out to help her get it out. When he stood up, he heard Lin Meng sniffle.

Guo Bo was stunned for a moment.

He seemed frightened and murmured, "Boss Meng? What's wrong with you?"

Lin Meng quickly reached out and wiped her face.

"I'm fine."

"What's wrong with you?" Guo Bo said at a loss, "You're crying..."

Lin Meng suddenly slammed the table and yelled, "Who's crying? You're the one crying!"

The dishes and chopsticks on the table were shaking. Guo Bo stared at Lin Meng's face. The face that was always cold and arrogant like a white swan now became sad because of the tears in her eyes. She was trying hard to hold back the tears and bit her lips tightly.

So fragile.

"Boss Meng..." Guo Bo muttered, "What kind of trouble have you run into? Are you..." He seemed to have thought of something and shuddered, "I didn't bother to ask you before, where did you get that money from?"

"I changed jobs here." Lin Meng said.

"Job change?!" Guo Bo didn't respond for a moment: "From Winter... You terminated the contract with Winter?!" He blurted out, stunned.

"Where did you terminate the contract?" Guo Bo was completely confused and asked incoherently: "No, Boss Meng! How could you terminate the contract with Winter! If I had known that this was how you got the money, I would have -"

"You just what?" Lin Meng wiped the corner of his eyes impatiently with his hands, and his voice was nasal: "30 million, where can you borrow it? Lend me one and see!"

Guo Bo was speechless for a moment.

Yes, a penny can make a hero fall, let alone thirty million.

"But... don't you know a lot of people?" he asked. "Aren't your teammates close to you? Just say, 'Lend me some money, and I'll work hard and pay them back!'"

"Why would they lend it to you..." Lin Meng said, "Thirty million isn't three hundred yuan. Some people can't earn that much even if they don't eat or drink for their entire lives."

Guo Bo opened his mouth, speechless.

After a moment, he said, "Then...what about God Mo?"

Lin Meng's body stiffened visibly.

"Isn't God Mo very rich? Don't you have a good relationship with God Mo?" Guo Bo's voice gradually became lower and lower: "I thought you had a very good relationship..."

Lin Meng's brows frowned uncontrollably, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"How can I have the face to borrow money from him!" She glared with bloodshot eyes and said, "Team E lost so many endorsements, wasn't it because of me? Wasn't it because of me that he fell from the altar? He must have been fed up with me for a long time and felt that I bothered him with everything! But because of his face, he couldn't break up with me... I... I was so reckless that I went to him for everything. He... Isn't the pressure he has to bear alone enough? What right do I have to put my pressure on him?" She broke down in tears and wiped her eyes with the paper on the table. "I thought I had a good relationship with him... Seeing that he didn't tell me anything, you should have understood. I didn't accompany him in the most difficult times. He became a god and I enjoyed the blessings he brought, but in the end, I only caused trouble for him! I... I even yelled at him. If he doesn't hate me, who should he hate!" She suddenly fell on the table, sobbing: "Guo Bo, I'm really a nuisance... I have a bad temper and I can't make any money. I... I hate myself!"

"No, no, Boss Meng!" Guo Bo was sweating profusely. "No, no, you're a really good person, really good. You said you're beautiful, brave, righteous, and...ah, it's all because of me, it's all my fault!" He slapped himself in the face and said angrily, "Why would I ask you to borrow money for no reason? I...I should have stopped my dad. I shouldn't have signed that contract back then! Boss Meng, please don't do this. If you do this, I...I'm going to cry too."

The north wind was howling outside the door, and the bowl of wonton soup on the table was slowly getting cold.

After a long time, Lin Meng cried enough. She sat up straight, wiped her face with a tissue, and took out her cell phone from her pocket.

Tang Jinhai called.

Guo Bo: "By the way, you haven't told me yet that you terminated your contract with Winter. Who did you sign with next?"

Lin Meng hesitated for a moment and replied, "Maybe... it's another Kars."

Tang Jinhai said that he didn't have many connections, but his efficiency in finding five people was surprisingly high.

There were five people sitting around a round table, all of them were strangers, but they were all surprised to see Lin Meng and greeted her one after another.

"Hi, Lemon God."

"I never thought I'd be on the same team with Lemon God!"

"The Lemon God is even more handsome in person than on TV!"

"What's wrong with Lemon God's eyes? Why are they red?"

"I have conjunctivitis." Lin Meng turned away and said perfunctorily, "It's not cured."

She was wrapped in a down jacket and huddled dejectedly in a chair. After going around, she didn't remember many faces and names. She estimated that it would take a long time for her to adapt to the situation in the new team. A moment later, Tang Jinhai came, and with him was a bald stranger.

The man said his surname was Wang and that he was TANG’s partner.

Lin Meng didn't care at all about cooperation or not. It was just a matter of playing games. She knew that the regular season was over and it was impossible for TANG to do anything in the past six months. At most, he would play in the secondary league or some exhibition games. She had already considered these when she terminated the contract.

No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than when the modern times are fighting.

President Wang held a brief meeting with them, then left Lin Meng alone and took out a document from his briefcase with a smile.

"Regarding... next month's Red Diamond Invitational against Team REMIX, there are a few key points I'd like to discuss with you privately." Mr. Wang said with a smile, "Because it's just an invitational tournament, the format isn't very formal, so the result isn't really important; what's important is the process. We hope you can cooperate with Team REMIX and retain a little of your true strength..."

Lin Meng's swollen eyes had been drooping, but they suddenly opened up when she heard this.

Her eyes became sharp, cutting into the other person's face like a knife.

"A match-fixing?" She asked word for word, "You really want me to join you in a match-fixing?"

It is no joke that a penny can make a hero fall.

There are so many things going on, it's really frustrating to think about it. Lin Xiaomeng is a person who has always had an insecure feeling.
