"As far as I know, all the bank loans should have been paid off. I was afraid that the house would be frozen by the court, so I had to help her fill the hole. The loan sharks should still owe her over 100,000 yuan... I finally gave her funeral expenses to certain people, and I got all the receipts back..." Qiao Ran said truthfully.
"From what Xiaowei said, he should have contacted the loan sharks. Qiao Ran had a bad relationship with them in the end. They will definitely be happy to ask them to come forward and testify against Qiao Ran." Pei Yan analyzed.
Jiang Wenzhou thought for a moment and said, "Loan sharks are all about money. If all else fails, let's just spend some money to avoid disaster. It's not like we can't come up with the money for a few hundred thousand or even a few hundred thousand."
"I disagree!" Pei Yan was very principled on this point, and his attitude was clear. "Let's not even mention that Qiao Ran didn't owe them the money in the first place. Do you think they'll keep their mouths shut just because you pay them? When it comes to personal gain, what credibility do these people have?"
"What should we do then?" Jiang Wenzhou also knew that this matter was difficult.
Zhang Qian, after all, was older and much calmer in the face of this matter: "This matter will be exposed sooner or later. There is no point in blindly covering it up. Instead of thinking about how to hide it, it is better to think about how to guide public opinion once it is exposed."
Zhang Qian's thoughts coincided with Pei Yan's. "I'll contact my mom. Her agent has experience handling this kind of thing. If necessary, I'll just ask the club's PR team to cooperate."
"Well... after talking for so long... this recording... when are we going to report it?" Jiang Wenzhou looked at the recorder on the table.
Pei Yan's eyes froze, a rare and terrifying look. "Qiao Ran, continue to stabilize their side. Let them think they've won this group stage. We'll give them a big gift later!"
"This time they brought it to my door. It's time to settle a year's grudge!" Jiang Wenzhou gritted his teeth in hatred.
"This matter involves Qiao Ran's privacy. It's up to you, Qiao Ran, to decide whether to tell others or not," Zhang Qian said.
Qiao Ran pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before speaking: "Now this matter is no longer just my own. Let me tell everyone so that we can prepare in advance. It's all in the past. I've let it go long ago. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
——
When everyone learned about this, they were shocked at first, and after the shock, they were more angry and felt indignant for Qiao Ran.
"Fuck! What kind of scumbag is this..." Zhao Jie blurted out, and after realizing Qiao Ran was there, he quickly changed his words, "Um... Xiao Qiao, I'm not talking about your mother, I'm scolding that idiot from LC!"
"They can't win head-on, so they resort to these underhanded tactics. LC has completely lost its bottom line. People who have no e-sports spirit are simply a disgrace to the circle!" Sun Kai has always been a good-tempered and relatively rational person, but he was very angry this time.
"Sister Qiao Qiao, are you okay..." As a die-hard fan of Qiao Ran, Ye Xiaofan was more concerned about Qiao Ran's current condition.
Qiao Ran shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.
Now when I hear these things from other people, I feel more relieved.
Now she is more like a bystander, and can look at the past without any ripples in her heart.
Those wounds that she once thought would follow her for the rest of her life and would hurt when pulled, have slowly healed without her noticing.
"Once this matter becomes public, you'll all be affected to varying degrees. We're telling you this ahead of time so you can prepare yourself mentally and avoid impulsively confronting others online," Zhang Qian reminded. "We've just discussed this and will hand it over to professionals. Everyone, just focus on the competition."
"Even if we don't have to eat steamed buns, we must fight for our reputation! As long as we win the World Championship this year and let our strength speak for itself, I don't think anyone will talk nonsense anymore!" Zhao Jie was so angry that his blood boiled.
Ye Xiaofan and Su Yang, his two younger brothers, followed suit.
"Yes! Make it to the finals! Take first place and shut them up with your results!"
"And rub LC's garbage on the ground!"
......
Xiaowei didn't know that Qiao Ran had already revealed everything. In order to increase Qiao Ran's psychological pressure, he would send him a text message almost every day before the game to harass him and remind him not to forget their cooperation.
Of course, he is not stupid. The content of the text message is very obscure. If it is taken out alone, no one will know that it is about the game.
If Qiao Ran didn't have the recording and wanted to report it via text message, it would basically be impossible to succeed.
Qiao Ran did not hide these text messages and took screenshots and sent them to Pei Yan as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the group stage match against LC.
Before going to the venue, Pei Yan copied all the information needed for the report into a USB drive and handed it to Jiang Wenzhou before going on stage.
"Don't worry, just focus on the competition and leave the rest to me."
Jiang Wenzhou was holding a USB flash drive and had contacted Pei Yan's mother's agent on the way here.
Once LC realizes something is wrong and exposes Qiao Ran's affairs, they will be able to respond immediately.
......
As the saying goes, enemies often meet on a narrow road. Before entering the stage, the two parties met again in the backstage corridor.
Xiaowei's gaze naturally fell on Qiao Ran's face, and he smiled with an ambiguous meaning.
Then, he looked at Pei Yan provocatively: "God Pei, long time no see."
"Not long ago. It's been less than a year since the last autumn competition." Pei Yan responded with a cold face.
In the last autumn season, LC had his head shaved bald, and netizens scolded him a lot. Pei Yan mentioned it deliberately this time.
"Master Pei, things change over time. Don't be too complacent. NSD has lost before." Xiao Wei also hinted at something.
"Fuck! You have no idea how we lost!" Zhao Jie couldn't help but swear.
Pei Yan stopped Zhao Jie from acting impulsively. "It's true that fortunes change. We've already won the Autumn and Spring Championships, while some teams are practically gone."
Pei Yan spoke in the coldest tone, full of sarcasm.
Xiaowei couldn't argue with Pei Yan, so he could only give Qiao Ran a look.
Qiao Ran lowered his head in panic, looking very guilty.
After separating from NSD, Money approached Xiaowei and said, "Are you sure you've taken care of that girl? I hope nothing will happen..."
"How dare she!" Xiao Wei snorted coldly, "Unless she gives up her job for Pei Yan. If a person doesn't care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Qiao Ran is not a love-brained person. I think she knows which is more important, a man or her future."
For some reason, Money felt very nervous and looked back at NSD in the distance.
God bless you...
——
It is impossible to bless. How can God bless the wicked? It doesn't make sense.
The game time is up and everyone takes their seats.
The group stage is BO5, with global BP and the loser choosing a side.
"Qiao Ran will pick a hero who looks like a nobody. Let them feel proud for a while and think that you have really become a chess piece they are controlling."
It would be so boring to just crush this bunch of trash. Pei Yan planned to take the dog for a walk and destroy these scum psychologically bit by bit.
"I understand." Qiao Ran agreed.
The two teams selected Dunshan, Donghuang Taiyi, Lan, Zhang Fei, Marco Polo, Shangguan Wan'er, Baili Shouyi, and Guiguzi to be banned.
NSD chose Lian Po, Mai Shiranui, Yu Ji, Jing and Zhuang Zhou respectively.
LC chose Zhou Yu, Liu Chan, Charlotte, Gongsun Li and Guan Yu.
When Xiaowei saw Qiao Ran take out Zhuang Zhou, he knew Qiao Ran's choice.
In this lineup, Qiao Ran's Zhuang Zhou can't play a big role, and there is a high possibility of being suppressed.
Xiaowei sat in his seat, looking confident, and had already begun to imagine how dark Pei Yan's face would be in a moment.
