My captain is sweet and sassy [e-sports]

Chapter 25 Luck

Things are getting worse and worse, and the atmosphere inside TK is gloomy.

During lunch time, all members of the team sat around the dining table, and it was rare that no one spoke.

Lin Zhi lowered his head and picked out the cucumbers one by one from the lunch box. Looking at his teammates who were swiping their phones, they all frowned, and couldn't even smooth it out with an iron.Seeing this, Lin Zhi sighed, silently raised his hand and confiscated the mobile phones of the four teammates.

"Don't look at your phone while eating, it will affect your appetite." Lin Zhi said to the four of them.

Mo Xi hesitated to speak when he saw this, and swallowed what he wanted to say after being glared at by Ji Ningxia.

Naturally, the small actions of the two did not escape Lin Zhi's eyes. He looked at Ji Ningxia who was glaring fiercely at Mo Xi, and laughed in his heart. He shook his head helplessly, put a mouthful of food, and said, "For those words on the Internet , I don't care, don't take it to heart."

Lin Zhi himself didn't feel anything from the beginning to the end, but these children were more concerned than him. These two days, because he was cautious about his affairs, he didn't even dare to talk nonsense, for fear that some point would poke Lin Zhi. Make him unhappy.

"Sniper Emperor..." Big Snake pondered for a while, then cautiously called out, "Aren't you worried?"

In the past two days, the alliance has been looking for Lin Zhi to talk and investigate because of this matter, but has not come to a definite conclusion. The discussion on Lin Zhi's matter became more and more heated, and the attention was also getting higher and higher, which meant that Lin Zhi might really leave TK if he couldn't find a solution.

Everyone would feel sad when they think of this, and the saddest among them is Ji Ningxia.

Ji Ningxia looked at Lin Zhi beside him, it was the first time that he was so powerless about one thing.

It took Lin Zhi three years to return to the position of a professional player, but he only stayed for more than a month. Is this the end?

Not to mention that Ji Ningxia felt unwilling, even Lin Zhi herself was unwilling.

"I'm worried." Lin Zhi replied very frankly, "But I'm waiting."

"What are you waiting for?" Ji Ningxia frowned.

"Wait..." Lin Zhi picked up the key, "A text message? A phone call? Or an email? I don't know too well."

The words were vague, and it sounded like I didn't quite understand what it meant, I only knew that Lin Zhi was waiting for someone to come to him.

who's that person?

Ji Ningxia had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to confirm.

"Who are you waiting for?" Ji Ningxia asked.

Lin Zhi tilted his head, and answered without beginning or end, "Xu Rushen is a person who is extremely conceited and has a desire to show off."

With an answer in his heart instantly, Ji Ningxia secretly thought in his heart...

Lin Zhi has been waiting for Xu Rushen for the past two days, waiting for Xu Rushen's patience to reach a critical point, waiting for Xu Rushen to think that the matter is sure, waiting for this ex-teammate who is extremely conceited and has a desire to show off to come to him in person.

He knows Xu Rushen too well, such an extremely conceited person, when facing the downfall of the person who has always wanted to bring down, he can't help showing off.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, train obediently, eat well, don't wait for my business to be settled, and you will collapse first." Lin Zhi fiddled with the vegetables in his bowl, and said lazily, "We want to go together South Korea takes the golden pot."

The league has been talking to Lin Zhi for the past two days, nothing more than about the fake match that year.

In fact, regarding the match-fixing, the league intervened in the investigation when the incident happened three years ago. After all, such a match-fixing matter is empty-handed.

At that time, the league could not confirm whether there was a match-fixing behavior due to insufficient evidence after the investigation. In addition, the party concerned Lin Zhi chose to retire after the incident, so he only sent a vague Weibo and then ignored the matter.

Now that the Dong Chuang incident has been revealed, it is a bit difficult to turn over this account. After all, it has been three years since the incident, and too many details and incidents have already disappeared with time.

In the conference room, Lin Zhi and the three representatives sent by the alliance sat face to face.

Lin Zhi held the ballpoint pen in his hand, and pressed the spring again and again, making a soft "clicking" sound, which was particularly obvious in the quiet conference room.

"Sniper King, we don't want to embarrass you. After all, having such an excellent player in the e-sports circle is a good thing for the entire circle and the future development of the e-sports circle. But please also tell us the details before and after the game that year. , and what happened to 70." The representative sitting in the middle said.

Lin Zhi put down the pen in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the three people opposite him with no emotion in his eyes.

These are the questions they have been asking over and over again in the past few days, and Lin Zhi is a little tired of hearing them.

"As I said, the 70 has nothing to do with me. I lost the game because I was not in good shape and made a mistake. I didn't play a match-fixing game. I am also a human being. I can't be perfect in every game." Lin Zhi's tone It was faint, and no emotion could be heard, but anyone who heard it would know that it must not be a lie.

But even so, this still cannot explain the transfer of 70 yuan and the rumors of match-fixing.

"Lin Zhi, you can't convince us with your statement." The representative sighed softly and said, "What we want to hear are more precise reasons and explanations that can be used as evidence, not conclusions."

The situation is at a stalemate, and both sides are doing this and sitting and no one speaks.

Lin Zhi lowered his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and looked at the glass of orange juice on his upper left corner.

It was given to him by Ji Ningxia before he came in.

The appearance of Ji Ningxia appeared in his mind, and Lin Zhi remembered the sincere appearance of the child on the balcony that day, and he said to himself, "Asian Invitational, I want to be with you."

There was a movement in my heart, something that I had been insisting on for a long time seemed to be gradually falling apart and disintegrating.

Lin Zhi took a sip of the orange juice, and the aroma of the orange permeated his tongue until it dissipated.

"The reason for the mistake back then..." Lin Zhi opened his mouth slowly, and the three people on the opposite side regained their energy in an instant, and their eyes focused on Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi held the cup in his hand, his knuckles turned white. It was clearly a short sentence, but it seemed to take all his effort.

He hadn't thought of the scene back then for a long time, and now that he was forced to recall it again, his heart would still be tightly gripped, trembling and numb.

He remembered the scene backstage at that time, and what the doctor said to him on the phone, "Is it Mr. Lin Zhilin? We are here at XX Hospital. Your grandfather Lin Xiuhai is critically ill. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible."

It was already the last game of the game at that time, he looked at the points on the standings that were close to KPJ, and finally chose the game in front of his grandfather and the game.

Lin Zhi played in that match so chaotically that even thinking about it now, he couldn't even put together many details.

"I'm sorry, I still can't explain." Lin Zhi picked up the orange juice on the table and drank it in one gulp, got up and left the conference room as if running away.

There are many things in life, which are heavy and tactful and cannot be explained.

Lin Zhi squatted on the steps outside the base in a daze, the smoke lit by his fingertips burned out bit by bit, the sparks moved and dropped ashes on the ground, piled up together, as if full of melancholy.

The sparks burned to the end bit by bit, until Lin Zhi burned his fingertips, Lin Zhi suddenly regained his senses and threw the cigarette butt on the ground with his feet to extinguish it.

The fingertips were in burning pain, Lin Zhi touched his fingertips a few times, looked at the cigarette butts on the ground and lost his soul again, he sighed after a long time, raised his hand and rubbed his face.

He didn't like himself at all.

"Tsk." Impatiently, Lin Zhi picked up the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can, turned around, and saw Ji Ningxia standing at the door.

"Brother." Ji Ningxia called.

Ji Ningxia came out to look for Lin Zhi after hearing that Lin Zhi had left the conference room. He stood behind him for a long time, but Lin Zhi didn't notice him. He had never seen such a frustrated Lin Zhi, and his back was full of loneliness. , so he didn't dare to speak rashly like before, so he could only stand behind him and wait for Lin Zhi to find him.

Lin Zhi smiled forcedly, "You're here."

He knew that Ji Ningxia would definitely come.

"Yeah." Ji Ningxia replied in a low voice, walking up to Lin Zhi, "They're gone."

They refer to the few people in the alliance.

Lin Zhi nodded, "Oh."

The two fell silent, and Ji Ningxia's gaze fell on Lin Zhi's hand.

"Does it hurt?" Ji Ningxia looked at Lin Zhi's red fingertips and asked.

Lin Zhi didn't speak, he stared at Ji Ningxia's face for a long time, then moved his lips, and said slowly: "Can I hug you?"

Ji Ningxia was taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Zhi to say such words suddenly, he looked at Lin Zhi, didn't say anything, just opened his hands and made a hug gesture.

Almost instantly, Ji Ningxia was pulled into Lin Zhi's arms. He felt Lin Zhi's arms confining him, trembling slightly with force. Lin Zhi's head was buried in his neck, in a fragile posture. .

For a long time, Lin Zhi gave Ji Ningxia the impression that he was invincible, as if nothing could hurt him, and he didn't care about anything.

But today, Lin Zhi is different, he told Ji Ningxia with his own posture, that he also has a vulnerable side.

The tip of the nose is the faint scent of washing powder. Ji Ningxia was stunned for a while, then finally raised her hand to hug Lin Zhi, patted his back, and finally murmured, "It's okay."

Ji Ningxia doesn't know exactly what happened, but it will pass.

This hug didn't last long, Lin Zhi let go of him after a while, and returned to his previous appearance.

"Just now in the conference room, something happened." Lin Zhi explained to Ji Ningxia.

Ji Ningxia nodded, "Yes."

"I want to solve this matter as soon as possible." Lin Zhi said.

He originally thought that he was waiting for Xu Rushen to come to him by himself, but now, Lin Zhi didn't think so anymore.

"How do you want to solve it?" Ji Ningxia asked.

Just as Lin Zhi was about to speak, the phone in his pocket vibrated a few times, and a text message came.

Perhaps it is God's blessing, the waiting person and the time have finally arrived.

Lin Zhi spread out the phone to Ji Ningxia to see, it was a text message from an unfamiliar phone.

[I'm Xu Rushen, meet at Wangyue Pavilion on Saturday? 】

"It seems that I'm lucky." Lin Zhi said with a smile.
