"Want to kill me?" The bald man rubbed his hairless head in annoyance. He didn't expect that Qiao Ran, a girl with thin arms and legs, could be so tough. "There's a third person here!"
Aunt Wu was standing by and was frightened when she saw Qiao Ran holding a knife. She was afraid that the little girl would become desperate and lose her mind.
Fortunately, Aunt Wu had met many people in her business over the years. After she came to her senses, she immediately took out her cell phone, pretended to call the police, and stopped Qiao Ran behind her.
"I'm telling you, I've already called the police. If this guy falls down and the police come and ask about him, I'll say you stabbed him. I'm a witness and I've been an honest and upright person here for decades. Let's see if the police believe me!"
When Aunt Wu said this, she wasn't sure if she could scare a social person like Baldy.
So, after making the threat, Aunt Wu softened her tone and took Qiao Ran's card and stuffed it into the bald man's hand. "What you're doing is seeking wealth. You know whether it complies with the rules and regulations. She said she owed over a hundred thousand yuan, but everyone knows the exact amount of the original loan from her mother. If something really happens, it won't be good for anyone. The person is already dead, so it's good enough to get back 30,000 yuan."
"She's a young girl. If something really happens to her, even if you explain yourself clearly at the police station, you won't be afraid of public opinion. If the matter is exposed online, you all know how powerful netizens are these days. Will you still want to do business in the future? Take a step back and the world will be wider. Forgive others when you can..."
The bald man looked at the card in his hand, then looked at Qiao Ran, who had a look on his face that said "this life doesn't matter".
As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, and the hard are afraid of the desperate.
He met a desperate person today, and even though he was unwilling, he had to accept the defeat.
"Okay, okay! It's my bad luck!" The bald man picked up his bag and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Qiao Ran stopped him and held out his hand. "Since you've accepted the money, you should also give me the IOU she wrote to you."
Of course the bald man didn't want to give it, but Qiao Ran was still holding the knife in his hand, and the wonton shop owner was staring at him.
He doesn't want to be wrongly thrown into jail for no reason!
The bald man took out a few receipts from his bag, slammed them on the table, said "What bad luck!" and left.
Qiao Ran watched the bald man's back disappear from his sight, and the fruit knife in his hand fell to the ground. He sat back on the stool exhausted, with cold sweat on his back, and the hand holding the receipt trembled uncontrollably.
"It's okay, it's okay." Aunt Wu was heartbroken. She hugged Qiao Ran and patted her back soothingly. "Auntie will make you a bowl of hot soup to calm you down."
Qiao Ran sniffed, forced himself to cheer up, and stood up to say goodbye: "Auntie, don't bother me. I have something else to do later... Today... Thank you for causing you trouble."
"Kid, we are all old neighbors, so why bother?"
Aunt Wu's daughter is about the same age as Qiao Ran, but she doesn't look like a girl of her age at all. She is so mature and sensible that it makes people feel sad.
"If you have any difficulties that I can help you with in the future, please feel free to come to me," Aunt Wu said enthusiastically.
"Yeah." Qiao Ran nodded with a smile and walked out of the wonton shop.
......
The heavy rain turned to clear weather, and the sun hung high in the sky, hot and dazzling.
Qiao Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand to cover her forehead to block the sunlight that made her eyes moist, and took a deep breath.
The air after the rain was filled with a faint smell of earth, mixed with the green fragrance of grass leaves and poured into Qiao Ran's chest.
The turbidity that had been weighing on Qiao Ran's heart for so long seemed to gradually dissipate at this moment...
Qiao Ran took a taxi to the funeral home. The woman who had ruined her normal life was scheduled to be cremated today.
There was no memorial service, no farewell ceremony.
Qiao Ran sat in the hall with the receipt, waiting to collect the ashes, surrounded by all kinds of sad cries.
Compared to these people, Qiao Ran was very calm from beginning to end, with no unnecessary expression on his clean and pretty face.
To this day, Qiao Ran couldn't describe her mentality. To her, Yang Hui seemed to have become an insignificant stranger.
Even though they were related by blood, and even though Yang Hui had been kind to her when they were young, Qiao Ran could no longer call her "Mom"...
"Family members of Yang Hui, please go to window number 2 to collect the ashes."
After hearing the announcement on the radio, Qiao Ran took the receipt and, with the help of the staff, temporarily placed Yang Hui's ashes in the columbarium of the funeral home.
After Qiao Ran's grandparents passed away, they chose to be buried in the river. The funeral home would notify the applicants on a specific date every year.
Yang Hui is their daughter. Even though she has done so many wrong things, they still like her. So let their family be reunited.
Qiao Ran placed Yang Hui's ashes into the small grid.
On the urn is a photo of Yang Hui when she was young. She was a top-notch beauty.
You are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief.
Qiao Ran took one last look, asked the staff to lock the storage cabinet, and left without looking back.
......
[Is NSD lying this time? Why won't the authorities come out and express their stance?]
[Yang Rui has been working for you for quite some time, right? In the end, you fired him and are blaming him?]
[NSD are all clinging to Pei Yan's thighs. Pei Yan has attracted so many fans with that face. What are the others?! ]
U1S1 Pei Yan's skills are still very strong. When it comes to soloing, few junglers from other teams can compete with him.
[I laughed. What's the point of him being good at soloing in a team game? An orphan is an orphan!]
[You're off topic. I just want to know what's going on with Yang Rui. Was he deliberately seeking revenge after losing the match, or was it a genuine match-fixing incident? Do the officials dare to speak out?]
......
Qiao Ran was sitting on the bus going home, holding the handle with one hand and browsing his phone with the other.
There are still arguments on Weibo and forums.
Pei Yan's fans, Yang Rui's fans, LC's supporters, and NSD's haters are fighting on their own and continuing to attack.
Qiao Ran closed Weibo, switched to WeChat, and clicked on Pei Yan's message box.
Pei Yan didn't send any message today.
As if unwilling to give up, Qiao Ran immediately clicked on Pei Yan's circle of friends.
Nothing...
Pei Yan’s last post on WeChat Moments was before the tryouts, when he took a photo of a stray cat outside the base.
Qiao Ran switched back to the chat interface, thought for a moment, and then clicked on the numeric keypad.
Until the bus stop announcement came, Qiao Ran still hadn't figured out what to send to Pei Yan, so he could only turn off his phone and get off the bus.
......
Pei Yan's training did not slacken because of the lack of one person. On the contrary, because of the uproar on the Internet in the past two days, Pei Yan became more strict.
In Zhao Jie's words, Pei Yan is now an emotionless training machine.
"Everyone, stop for a moment." Zhang Qian walked into the training room. "I've found an assistant for you."
"Sure, coach, whose girl are you stealing?" Zhao Jie chuckled twice.
Ye Xiaofan glanced at Pei Yan secretly and said, "Captain... there are new recruits coming. If we start with such intense training right away, will they be scared away?"
"You're scared by this level of intensity. How can you play in a competition with this kind of mentality?" Pei Yan's expression did not change after hearing Zhang Qian say that he had found a new support. Finding one is one thing, but whether he can use it is another.
"Captain, your requirements are too strict. We are short of people now." Sun Kai knew that it was useless to talk to Pei Yan about his temper, but he couldn't help it.
As expected, Pei Yan only replied with four words: "Better to have nothing than to have something less than perfect."
"I've made an appointment with him tonight. You two can try playing a round and see if it works. If you think it's okay, I'll have Wenzhou prepare the contract and sign him up as soon as possible."
As soon as Zhang Qian mentioned Jiang Wenzhou, Jiang Wenzhou came over with his cell phone, looking furious.
Pei Yan glanced at Jiang Wenzhou, whose face was flushed red, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have you been so anxious and angry lately that you got constipated?"
"These LC guys are such bastards!" Jiang Wenzhou angrily threw his phone on the table, making a loud noise.
Ye Xiaofan felt a pang of pain when he saw it: "Brother Jiang, this is the latest model you just bought..."
The page stayed at the homepage of LC's official blog, with a long article pinned at the top, which was sent just a few minutes ago.
The lengthy text can be summarized into two points: 1. Playing the pity game by saying how hard the players worked, and before they could even rejoice in the honor they finally won, they were smeared; 2. Implying that NSD did not reflect on themselves after losing the game, but instead made trouble for their opponents; 3. Because of Yang Rui's mistake, their main player was injured, so their loss in the final was excusable.
The whole article smells of tea, who wouldn't be angry after reading it.
After reading it, Zhao Jie immediately became the second Jiang Wenzhou and joined the cursing team.
Zhang Qian's expression wasn't much better. "What did the club say? They've been letting it go without any public relations?"
"We lost the game, and the management is already quite critical of us." Jiang Wenzhou had just spoken to the club on the phone before entering. "Now, whatever we post gets criticized, so they're trying to handle it coldly. The online hype is always in waves. Once we officially announce the new players..."
"The one who gets scolded is probably the new team member." Sun Kai took over Jiang Wenzhou's words, "In our current situation, we really need to find someone with strong mental qualities, otherwise..."
Sun Kai smacked his lips but didn't utter the word "suspended".
"Esports is all about strength. As long as we can prove ourselves on the field next time, public opinion and the attitude of the top management will all turn around." Pei Yan was no longer thinking about how to win the game next time.
This time LC suffered a loss, but he may not be so lucky next time.
There is no room for such filth on the field!
Pei Yan's words inspired them. Ye Xiaofan, Zhao Jie and Sun Kai were all excited at this moment, as if they were not the ones who complained that Pei Yan was too pressured.
"Yes! The captain is right! Damn him!"
"Next time, I'll definitely pin these LC bastards to the ground!"
"Isn't it just increasing the intensity of training? I'm still young and can handle it!"
......
At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered in the training room.
The auxiliary reserve that Zhang Qian had found from somewhere had already joined the team room on time.
The other party greeted everyone through voice and then stopped talking.
"Are you all ready? If you are, let's start quickly." Zhang Qian said.
Pei Yan clicked start, and after a few seconds, the game entered the P/B phase.
The auxiliary reserve's game ID is "Disqualified" and is on the fifth floor.
To show his friendliness, Zhao Jie, who was on the first floor, asked on the microphone: "What heroes are used on the fifth floor? Can you help grab them first?"
The "disqualified" on the fifth floor politely declined: "No, just follow your normal pace."
Wow, the boy is quite confident.
Zhao Jie and Sun Kai looked at each other, then looked at Pei Yan, who seemed to have heard nothing and had no reaction, and chose the hero according to normal thinking.
Their opponents in this training match were none other than the WD team, the team that introduced "Chou Chou" to Pei Yan.
Ayan was on the other side of the screen, focusing all his attention on the "new support" on the fifth floor of NSD.
It seems the person he introduced was not selected...
Then let him see what this new support is capable of.
