Jiang Wenzhou hadn't drunk a sip of water from a while ago until now, but now he drank half a bottle of water in one breath.
"What else can I say? The evidence is complete, it's all set in stone. LC can't get away with it. And this time they even openly assaulted someone. I'm afraid we'll never see this team in the KPL again."
"When will they announce the results?" Pei Yan asked immediately.
Jiang Wenzhou took a breath and sat down aside: "We have to let them go through the process, but..."
"But what?" Hearing Jiang Wenzhou suddenly stop, Pei Yan frowned, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
"From what they said, they will only announce the results of the handling, and the relevant evidence will not be made public."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jie expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "Why don't you make the evidence public? His fans might end up accusing us of wronging them!"
"This... do they still have fans?" Su Yang suddenly asked.
"As the saying goes, Qin Hui has three friends, and LC must have blind supporters as well." Ye Xiaofan continued.
"The official statement is as solid as it gets. At most, a few netizens with poor brains will come out and make a fuss. In the end, the result is what we want, and that's all that matters."
…
What exactly happened between NSD and LC that led to the fight after the game?
This question has become an unresolved mystery. While netizens continue to follow the game, they also ask the same question on the official blogs of major organizations every day.
As a person involved in the incident, Qiao Ran was naturally contacted by the competition organizers several times. The content of the conversation was nothing more than routine inquiries, and by the way, they also confirmed that Qiao Ran was really not involved.
In Jiang Wenzhou's words, it's just a matter of going through the motions, and everyone knows the result.
This continued until the end of the group stage, when the official Weibo of the "KPL King of Glory Professional League" issued an announcement on the disciplinary punishment of the "LC Team".
At first, netizens thought that this announcement was about them beating someone up, but it was not until they clicked on and read the entire notice that they realized the matter was much bigger than they thought.
NSD still wins: Holy crap! This guy must be a repeat offender! So the World Championship is fake!
Fallen Leaves of Spring: Qiao Ran was even scolded for this during his livestream! What about those people? Stand up and speak out!
Pei Shen, fly slowly: Go? NSD has received so much criticism! It makes me furious!
Chubby little cutie: Where on earth did this piece of trash LC come from? How dare he hit someone like that?
Every day when I rush to catch the bus: This unprofessional esports scum, get out of here! Stop disgusting people!
…
Whenever everyone is pointing their fingers at one thing, there are always a few mavericks who will jump out and grab attention.
It seems to be a sober person, but it is actually extremely stupid.
This time is no exception.
There was an account that claimed to be a pure passerby and posted two Weibo posts in a row.
Flying Bomb Cat: First things first, I'm a casual spectator, not a fan. Doesn't anyone else find this strange? If LC was involved in match-fixing, why did NSD shave their heads? If this happened a week ago, and they're only announcing it a week later, it doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.
Flying Bomb Cat: The official has not given a reasonable explanation for the incident involving people on the field. If it was LC who cheated, according to normal logic, it should be NSD who got angry and hit people. Why is it that LC is the first to attack now?
Such remarks can always incite some fence-sitters. After a while, some people felt that the blogger's analysis made sense and began to think that the announcement was unclear and that there must be problems.
LC fans who had been watching from the sidelines in the early stages also saw this opportunity and started to whitewash the team, shouting that the team they supported was wronged and was being slandered, and that there was a conspiracy involved.
But this is the e-sports circle after all, which is somewhat different from the entertainment circle.
The floor-cleaning tricks don't work so well in this circle, and most players don't buy into it.
The other team member is crying: "LC fans are still trying to stop me? If they didn't cheat, why haven't their results improved so far? Don't talk about the jungler retiring, that's just an excuse!"
"I really doubt the person who said that is a player. Do they even understand the game? Are the officials messing with you? How can such an announcement be so false?"
Teddy and Husky: The official should release the hammer, otherwise there will always be people who refuse to give up and think that they are being framed!
......
NSD has not yet paid attention to the various online events and has begun to concentrate on preparing for the upcoming quarter-finals.
Starting from the quarter-finals to the semi-finals and finals, they all adopted a BO7 single-elimination system. Losing any game would mean that their World Championship journey would end here.
LC has received the punishment they deserved and has been banned for life.
The NSD team didn't want to be distracted by a few trash at this time. Their goal was to win the championship!
——
In the quarter-finals, NSD faced the veteran team SJ again.
On the day of the competition, all NSD members arrived at the venue early to prepare.
The online uproar was raging. In addition to fans, there were also many media gathered outside the venue. As soon as they saw the NSD members getting off the car, they all rushed over.
Fortunately, Jiang Wenzhou anticipated this situation and contacted the venue security in advance. After a while, the media reporters were dispersed to both sides.
"Pei Shen, can you tell me exactly what happened on the day of the group stage?"
"Why did LC's support suddenly attack? Was it because of the match-fixing?"
"What kind of results do you think you can achieve today, Master Pei? Will your mentality be affected?"
......
Despite the security personnel, the reporters tried their best to push the microphone forward, and the questions came one after another like a machine gun.
"I'm sorry everyone, our team members have to go backstage to prepare, so I'm afraid I can't answer your questions." Jiang Wenzhou smiled and stood in front to deal with the reporters.
Just as everyone was about to go into the venue, a figure forced his way through the security and headed straight for Qiao Ran, who was walking at the end.
A reporter was the first to react and shouted, "Master Qiao! Be careful!"
Qiao Ran turned around suddenly and saw a flash of cold light.
Immediately afterwards, screams broke out one after another around, mixed with the sounds of flashes and shutter clicks.
Qiao Ran lowered his head and saw scarlet blood dripping down the back of Pei Yan's hand...
The dagger was aimed at her, and Pei Yan blocked it for her in a hurry...
It’s Xiaowei!
Even though this scumbag covered himself tightly with a hat and a mask, Qiao Ran was still able to recognize him.
In a moment, Xiao Wei was unwilling to give up when he saw that he had not hurt Qiao Ran, so he stabbed Qiao Ran again with his backhand.
Qiao Ran's eyes were bloodshot, he was not afraid at all, he rushed towards Xiaowei, dodged the sharp blade sideways, and used the impact force to knock Xiaowei to the ground.
Xiaowei doesn't exercise regularly and is actually just a bluffing person with a pretty face.
During the days when Qiao Ran lived alone, he could change bottled water by himself and carry 50 kilograms of rice up several floors in one breath.
The disparity in power meant Qiao Ran was doomed to be unilaterally crushed.
By this time, everyone had reacted, and Jiang Wenzhou shouted at the security guard, "What are you all still looking at! Help!"
Two security guards were sent to hold Xiaowei down.
Qiao Ran snatched the dagger from Xiaowei's hand. The sharp edge of the blade was still stained with Pei Yan's blood.
Qiao Ran tightly gripped the dagger, staring at Xiaowei with a look that was more terrifying than ever before. There was an unknown murderous intent hidden in his eyes, and the beast in his heart was frantically banging against the cage, trying to break free.
"Qiao Ran..." Pei Yan rarely spoke seriously to Qiao Ran. He used his uninjured hand to lead her aside. "Qiao Ran, don't look at him... Give me the dagger..."
Qiao Ran gritted her teeth. Pei Yan's voice gradually brought her back to her senses. She finally slowly threw away the dagger, and the raging beast in her heart gradually calmed down.
"Captain...your hand..." Qiao Ran didn't dare to look at Pei Yan's still bleeding hand.
"Leave this to Jiang Wenzhou. He's already called the police, and they'll be here soon. I'll take Pei Yan to the hospital. You go in first."
No one expected that such a situation would occur just before the game. As a coach, Zhang Qian must stabilize the situation at this moment.
"I'm going too!" Qiao Ran said eagerly.
Others followed suit.
"Yes! We're going too!"
"I want to follow too!"
…
"Why are you going? Wouldn't it just cause trouble if so many people go with you? What? Don't you want to play today's game? Hurry up and go in and get ready!" Zhang Qian scared a few people and stopped them.
The others walked in, looking back worriedly.
Only Qiao Ran stood there stubbornly, not moving at all.
"Go in, don't worry, Pei Yan has me, nothing will happen to him." Zhang Qian naturally knew that Qiao Ran couldn't let go of Pei Yan.
"Forget it, let Qiao Ran go with you. It's not convenient for you to run up and down alone." Pei Yan knew that if she didn't let Qiao Ran go today and personally confirm that he was okay, she would not be in the mood to play in this game.
"That's fine..." Zhang Qian glanced at Pei Yan's hand and knew there was no time to delay.
…
After getting in the car, Qiao Ran kept holding Pei Yan's uninjured hand. She originally wanted to find something to stop Pei Yan's bleeding, but after emptying everything in her bag, she couldn't find anything useful.
Qiao Ran was anxious but didn't dare to cry, for fear that Pei Yan would be injured and would have to comfort her in return.
Fortunately, the hospital was not far away. When he arrived at the hospital, the emergency doctor quickly treated Pei Yan.
Qiao Ran felt pain just watching from the side. The tears that he had been holding back until now could no longer be held back and began to fall down.
Pei Yan couldn't bear to see Qiao Ran like this, so he used his good hand to take his coat and put it over Qiao Ran's head.
Pei Yan endured the pain of treating his wound and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "What happened to our God Qiao? Why is he dropping gold beans again? What if someone takes a picture of this, makes an emoticon out of it, and posts it online?"
"Captain..." Qiao Ran sniffed.
"I'm fine... Don't cry, you won't be pretty if you cry." Pei Yan tried his best to coax her, "Just smile for me, the disinfection is hurting me, and if you smile, it won't hurt me..."
The author has something to say:
It’s okay, just a small problem. After a few days, Pei Shen will still be the big devil!
