Chapter 62
"Ayao, get up quickly!!!" Eric shouted at the top of his lungs on the second floor.
Luo Jingyao touched her numb right cheek with the tip of her tongue and felt a hint of fishy sweetness.
She opened her eyes and looked towards the railing on the second floor, clearly seeing the anxiety and despair on the fat man's face.
Not forgetting her promise to the police, Luo Jingyao groaned twice and pushed the ground with both hands, as if trying to get up.
Because the referee had not yet announced the result of the match, the audience thought that things might take a turn for the better. At this moment, everyone, including Eric, held their breath and stared intently at the struggling figure on the ring.
The mixed-race man also became nervous and couldn't help but doubt the truth of what the woman had just said. He hesitated on the spot whether he should just go up and kick her again.
Thinking that the time was about up, Luo Jingyao finally "accidentally" fell back, and this time she did not forget to wave at the referee to indicate her surrender.
“…” The referee was so sad that he could not even cry, and subconsciously raised his head and looked up.
What caught my eye was Eric's round face, barely able to maintain its surface of calm, looking on the verge of cracking. He was still in a daze, seemingly unable to comprehend how things had turned out this way.
Helplessly swallowing his saliva, the referee had to raise his hand amidst the urging and announced that the final winner of this event was the mixed-race man. Not only would he receive a prize of 98,888, he would also enjoy the free use of the club's venue for life.
Roar!!!
Unable to contain his excitement, the mixed-race man first ran around the ring. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he hurried forward and tried to help the woman still lying on the ground to her feet. "Sorry...are you okay?"
Although he didn't know why the other party chose to give up the fruits of victory when he was clearly sure of victory, he still owed the other party a big favor.
As for whether you feel insulted?
The mixed-race man said that if anyone could give him 98,888, he could insult them to his heart's content. Of those who come to the underground tournament, at least two-thirds, if not all, are there because they're financially strapped. As the saying goes.
People can't just give up money for the sake of dignity.
"...It's okay... buddy, you have a strong hand!" Luo Jingyao climbed up and rubbed his right cheek, which was already swollen, with his right hand unconsciously.
I haven't been beaten much since I retired, so it's really painful to be hit like this out of the blue.
The mixed-blood man's face was filled with guilt when he heard this. "This... I've never tried this before, so I really can't control the strength. How about you fight back, sister? I didn't even scream after being hit ten times."
At this point, he looked up and saw the teasing look in the man opposite him. He immediately recalled the near-death suffocation he felt just a few minutes ago and quickly changed his tune: "How about five punches? Any more and I'm afraid this little bonus won't be enough to cover my hospital stay."
In response, Luo Jingyao just waved her hand, then put her hands on her lower back and raised her head again.
Their eyes met, and she slowly raised the corners of her lips towards the people on the second floor, no longer looking half-dead as before.
Eric instantly had a bad feeling in his heart, and before he could get over the despair of losing a large sum of money, he immediately turned around.
He saw a tall figure leaning leisurely against the office door. As the brim of his baseball cap was slightly raised, the handsome face he had just seen not long ago was revealed.
At the desk behind the other person, there was a tall and thin man sitting in his boss chair, typing something quickly on the keyboard with his hands.
In a split second, Eric seemed to understand what was going on. A ferocious expression crossed his chubby face: "You guys teamed up to mess with me?!"
Lin Jiafan just smiled without saying anything, looking very arrogant.
Such an attitude naturally made Eric furious, and he shouted, "Someone come!"
But before he could finish his words, almost at the same time a commotion broke out among the crowded crowd downstairs.
A team of police officers quickly filed in from the back door of the factory. The special police officer in the lead was holding not only a riot shield but also a gun. "The police are investigating this case. Please cooperate!"
It’s not that some people tried to escape, but now that the main gate was locked, they could only go through the back door.
After the police quickly pinned down several people who wanted to break through the defense line, everyone tactfully fell silent in the face of the black muzzle of the gun.
At this moment, Eric's expression changed from arrogance at the beginning to panic. He originally thought that Luo Jingyao and a few others were trying to get his money, but he didn't expect that in the end it was the police who wanted to take his life!
With a strange cry, he turned around and wanted to run downstairs.
While going downstairs, the fat man pressed the wall and the main door of the factory rose up with a rumble.
It was obvious that he wanted to take this opportunity to create chaos on the first floor so that he could slip away.
Unfortunately, for the first group of people who squeezed out through the gap of the slowly rising rolling shutter door, there was still a row of fully armed special police waiting for them outside.
Even after being pinned to the ground by two police officers with riot shields, Eric still couldn't comprehend how things had turned out this way. Just a few hours ago, he was so high-spirited, the man behind the scenes controlling hundreds of millions of dollars in online funds, and now...
"Liu Pinsen?" Lin Jiafan arrived at some point, looking down at the pile of meat on the ground. "The police have received a report alleging that you're operating a brothel. We have evidence, witnesses, and evidence. Boss Liu, please come with us back to the Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation."
"Who? Who reported it?" After being pulled up by the police, Eric stared at the group of people in the factory with red eyes and a threatening tone.
In the past, some people might have felt scared, but at this moment, compared to the police armed with guns, he was really insignificant.
Lin Jiafan waved his hand, and the two special police officers took the man into the police car and took him away.
When he returned to the office on the second floor, Luo Jingyao was already sitting on the sofa, applying an ice pack to her cheek and curiously watching Pang Guang's fingers flying up and down on the keyboard.
"Is this the method you mentioned to attract Liu Pinsen's attention?" Lin Jiafan stepped forward to take a closer look, then stood up and said, "The price is not small."
"What's this? The first thing you learn in our profession is how to get beaten. As long as Officer Pang can find something, my punch will be worth it." As she spoke, Luo Jingyao shook her sore neck from side to side, making a thumping, thumping sound.
"Coach Luo, you're putting a lot of pressure on me!" Pang Guang's eyes never left the screen in front of him, yet he managed to multitask and responded, "Fortunately, I do have skills!"
After saying this, the young man tapped the keyboard a few last times, then let out a long sigh.
"Captain Lin, I have locked the website, and all the gambling funds on the website have been frozen and cannot be withdrawn. Once I return to the bureau, I will be able to pull out all the user information on the website." Pang Guang's eyes lit up when he talked about his expertise.
"I have to say, the technical support behind this website is really cunning. Luckily, we used the port of their own computer, so they didn't notice anything unusual at first. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened!"
Lin Jiafan nodded and called two people up from downstairs to help Pang Guang move the computer back.
Afterwards, he looked at the person sitting on the sofa and said, "Should I take Coach Luo home? You look like you need some rest."
Luo Jingyao, who had just put on a sweatshirt, nodded silently. She knew that she must look terrible at the moment. Even if she had not played many games, she had actually endured more than ten hours, so she did not continue to pretend to be strong.
She stood up slowly and was about to reach out to pick up the gym bag she brought with her, but unexpectedly, Lin Jiafan got there first.
The man seemed not to notice her surprised look. He just said a few words to Pang Guang and others, then turned and left the office.
Her lips moved, touching the wound on her cheek. The tolerable stinging sensation made Luo Jingyao enjoy this special treatment with peace of mind.
The two of them went downstairs one after the other. Just as they were about to leave the club, an anxious call suddenly came from the crowd nearby: "Luo... Coach Luo?!"
Luo Jingyao turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Wu Yugang's head faintly visible behind the crowd. The other party was jumping and waving his hands vigorously, trying to attract her attention.
She turned her head and whispered something to Lin Jiafan, and Lin Jiafan, with a look of understanding, asked his colleague to bring Wu Yugang to the two of them.
"Coach Luo." Wu Yugang cautiously called Luo Jingyao aside and said in a low voice, "The betting website has been frozen, and I still have over 400,000 yuan in it! Did you know the police would come?"
His words were filled with accusations: "I trusted you so much, I did it even if you asked me to bet on you to lose in the last round!"
"You believe me?" Luo Jingyao found it quite amusing, raised an eyebrow and asked back, "Then why didn't you leave when I asked you to?"
Wu Yugang's indignant expression froze on his face. The sudden embarrassment made him completely at a loss as to how to react.
At this time, Lin Jiafan said lightly: "Over 400,000 yuan in gambling money? Mr. Wu, this doesn't sound good."
"There seem to be two friends traveling with you? They..."
"They just came to watch the game and join in the fun!" Wu Yugang finally came to his senses and hurriedly defended himself, "Our original intention was to expose this place online! Really!"
"I was just confused for a moment. My family member was in the hospital and needed money for treatment, so I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to cheat these people out of some money..."
"Exposed?" Lin Jiafan didn't seem to believe this statement, with a strong look of suspicion between his eyebrows.
Eager to prove he wasn't lying, Wu Yugang turned around and found Lu Yue and Fan Shixia in the crowd. He pulled out two sets of hidden camera equipment from their coat pockets and said, "I'm telling the truth! If the police need these videos, we can provide them voluntarily. That would be considered amending our past."
"So you have brought Cheng Yinan here before? Does he also want to expose this illegal underground competition on the Internet?" Lin Jiafan asked again.
They and Luo Jingyao spent a whole day just to confirm this guess.
"He was exposed?" Wu Yugang sneered twice, as if he had heard something funny. "You must understand the order of events. He brought me here, not me bringing him!"
Um?
Luo Jingyao subconsciously exchanged a glance with Lin Jiafan beside her, and both of them saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
