"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door. It wasn't the time for staff to deliver food, and besides, who would dare to wander around outside at this hour?
"Who is it?" Shang Fan shouted, but the door remained closed.
Then a muffled voice came from outside the door: "Shang Fan, it's me, Jiang Teng." Shang Fan turned his head and gave Xiao Jin a thumbs-up, and after receiving the signal, he quickly got up and opened the door.
After the door opened, a tall man was standing there. His eyes crinkled when he saw Shang Fan.
"Ah, thank goodness I didn't get the wrong one, sorry to bother you!"
"Why did you come upstairs? Is something wrong?" Shang Fan led him into the house. As soon as Jiang Teng entered, his gaze fell on Jian Xiuyun and Xiao Jin, darting back and forth between the two, seemingly hesitant.
Upon seeing this, Mao Liu quickly introduced, "Oh, this is my boss, Xiao Jin. I met Jiang Teng when Shang Fan and I were on the second floor; we exchanged addresses back then."
Xiao Jin did not correct Mao Liu's introduction, only glancing at Jiang Teng indifferently.
On the other side, a look of surprise appeared in Jiang Teng's eyes.
He was indeed hesitating about who was the leader between the two. When Shang Fan and the other two came down, Brother Chu had said that they must have someone behind them.
Jian Xiuyun's aura was intimidating. If you didn't know, you wouldn't believe that he was a weak scholar. Jiang Teng was already inclined to favor Jian Xiuyun, but he didn't expect that the one who made the decision would be that child who looked like he was underage!
Jiang Teng was stunned for only a moment before he came to his senses. He smiled at Xiao Jin, not caring about the other party's cold attitude.
"Hello, I apologize for bothering you, I'm just here to deliver a message."
Xiao Jin remained motionless: "Speak!"
“We’re all from the same hometown. It’s clear that Boss Xiao is capable to have led people this far. We might meet again in the future, and my brother would like to make friends with you all.”
Players can add each other as friends. Mao Liu added many players when he went down with his two friends, but Xiao Jin never had the intention to communicate with other players, so his friend list is still empty.
Yes, she didn't even add Mao Liu and Shang Fan.
Despite standing tall and straight when introducing himself to Jiang Teng, Mao Liu was actually more uncertain than anyone else.
Although Xiao Jin didn't go down, Mao Liutong had already shared information about the players on the second floor with her.
The people below were roughly divided into two factions. Jiang Teng belonged to the largest group, which consisted of about sixty or seventy people and was led by a man named Chu Yuan.
This Chu Yuan used to be a mercenary; he's very shrewd, and I've heard he's also quite ruthless.
As for why he was ruthless, the remaining thirty or so people were mostly old, weak, sick, or disabled, lacking strength, intelligence, and some couldn't even understand what was being said.
Mercenaries are usually active overseas. These people are a mixed bag, and they follow the principle of survival of the fittest. Those who are kicked out of the team are naturally considered a burden.
Xiao Jin had no liking for this kind of person; she neither admired nor hated him.
He probably intended to wait for Xiao Jin to go down on her own, but Xiao Jin showed no interest in meeting other players, so he sent someone up.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin replied directly, "I don't like making friends, I'm not interested!"
"Huh! Huh?" Jiang Teng didn't expect Xiao Jin to be so direct. He seemed to sense the nonchalance in her tone, and Jiang Teng was a little unconvinced.
But remembering what Brother Chu had said earlier, he had no choice but to swallow his words back.
But the smile on his face looked somewhat stiff.
"Oh, is that so? I came here on behalf of my older brother to say hello. Since there's nothing else, I won't bother you any longer."
Mao Liu and Shang Fan naturally listened to Xiao Jin. Seeing that Xiao Jin was indifferent to Jiang Teng, their attitudes also began to become lukewarm.
As soon as he saw the person out and closed the door, Jiang Teng, who was standing outside, had a very long face.
You're really asking for it!
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Teng let out a final snort before leaving.
"Big Boss?" Mao Liu glanced at Xiao Jin nervously.
Xiao Jin raised her eyelids slightly: "What? Is something the matter?"
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to be so stubborn?" Mao Liu was worried that Chu Yuan would have a problem with Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin stood up and stretched her stiff body: "What's wrong with it!"
Mao Liu was speechless. That's true. If they have opinions, they have opinions. They don't ask anything of each other. As for Chu Yuan, if you want to get to know my Boss Xiao, come in person. What's the point of sending a lackey?
"serial number!"
"What big shot?" Mao Liu was lost in thought and didn't catch what Xiao Jin said.
Shang Fan then elbowed and kneed Mao Liu in the waist, and then shouted loudly, "!"
"Go to hell!" Mao Liu knew Shang Fan's ID number, so he immediately reacted: "Big boss, add me first."
Then Mao Liu glared fiercely at Shang Fan.
That bastard loves to take advantage of loopholes. He wants to be the first person on the big shot's friend list. Don't even dream about it!
Xiao Jin had already brought up the player panel. She was momentarily stunned when she heard the two players' numbers, but she concealed it well and sent out invitations the next second after completing the search.
If I remember correctly, my number is 833, while Mao Liu's number has already reached eight digits. Is there a problem with this?
"Alright, alright, added it!" Mao Liu's big teeth were showing, and you could see his happiness even through his mask.
On the eve of their departure, Shang Fan and the other looked at Xiao Jin with great reluctance.
Mao Liu: "Boss! Hope to see you again at the next match!"
Although Shang Fan didn't say anything, his eyes conveyed the same meaning. After all, it's rare to see such a strong and kind-hearted person with such a great figure.
Xiao Jin waved his hand.
Jian Xiuyun remained silent, observing them intently. He found himself increasingly unable to understand anything, whether it was the topic Xiao Jin and the others were discussing, or the inexplicable person who had arrived earlier.
However, Jian Xiuyun understood one thing: Xiao Jin and the others were leaving.
Finally unable to hold back any longer, Jian Xiuyun suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Jin's arm, causing the three people who were talking to turn around in surprise.
"It's so dangerous outside, where are you going?"
Realizing that Jian Xiuyun had misunderstood, Mao Liu and Xiao Jin looked at each other uneasily.
Facing Jian Xiuyun's anxious and worried gaze, Xiao Jin pursed her lips, then slowly freed herself from the restraints on her arms, turning around without responding.
Since we cannot provide an answer, there is no need to say more.
Therefore, Xiao Jin didn't see the gloomy expression on Jian Xiuyun's face...
