71: Chapter 0071 The Conspiracy Begins
71 -0071 The Conspiracy Begins
The force of that ball kicked up a spray of the synthetic turf.
The soccer ball itself was almost halfway buried in it, whistling violently towards the goal.
This shot had no technical substance, charging straight ahead, any slightly trained goalkeeper could catch it.
“Is that the best you can do?”
Tan Yaozong snickered inside, showing off on purpose, with a fancy backflip kick, his body turned upside down, as he powerfully kicked the soccer ball.
The timing and speed were just right.
But what he didn’t expect was the ball’s force to be too great.
His foot had barely touched it when, with a loud bang, it rebounded off the ball, and his back slammed hard onto the ground.
The soccer ball burst into the net with a bang, dragging the net deep inward.
The people on the field hadn’t had the chance to applaud him before they were taken aback.
It took a good while before all the students of Binhai College reacted, and they all started to cheer wildly.
Tan Yaozong’s right leg knee had just been hit by a pebble, and now, struck fiercely by the soccer ball, the knee bone was jolted so hard by the immense force that he rolled on the ground, howling in pain, and couldn’t get up for a long time.
A bunch of teammates immediately called for a doctor and carried him off on a stretcher.
He struggled to get up, roaring at Long Fei, “Bastard, you wait, I won’t let you off!”
“I’ll be waiting!”
Long Fei gestured towards his mouth, revealing a faint smile, clearly not taking him seriously.
The referee’s whistle blew, and the match was over.
Binhai College 4:3, they defeated Polytechnic University.
Long Fei was hoisted into the air by a group of teammates.
Facing Tan Yaozong, everyone had only expected to draw, but to their surprise, they actually won.
By this time, Xu Dong had recovered his energy and ran up, hugging Long Fei and yelling loudly.
Only the center forward, who had his calf slightly fractured from Tan Yaozong’s kick, was now sent to the hospital.
After the crowd at the pitch had dispersed, a group of girls came down from the stands, jesting with Long Fei and asking for his WeChat.
Long Fei politely refused, taking a good while to squeeze out of the crowd, not expecting college girls to be so enthusiastic.
Mushroom Head and Glasses Girl didn’t join in the fuss, holding hands as they walked away, thinking they’d deal with this arrogant guy another time.
During the earlier drinking session, nobody had really gotten into the spirit of it.
The team left school and headed straight for Old Shu Chuan Hotpot Restaurant, and as soon as the beer was poured, they started toasting Long Fei.
Xu Dong shouted excitedly, “Boss, your goalkeeping skills are so good, why not pull some strings and get into the provincial team, become a professional goalkeeper!
It’d earn you way more than a security guard!”
“Yeah, boss, I think you’re much better than the provincial team’s people!”
“Boss, my family has connections in the provincial team.
If you want to go there, I can introduce you!”
Everyone kept egging him on, admiring Long Fei to death.
Long Fei took a drink with them, shook his head with a smile and said, “Don’t bother, I’ve never thought about playing soccer, I just came today to show support for you guys.
Luckily, we ran into someone as arrogant as Tan Yaozong.
If it were anyone else, we wouldn’t have won so easily!”
Everyone laughed, agreeing with what he said.
If Tan Yaozong had just kept possession and stalled for time, they would have had a hard time turning around the three-point deficit.
But a win was a win, and no one felt like dwelling on these thoughts.
The group kept toasting Long Fei, and they didn’t stop drinking until three or four in the afternoon before stumbling out the door.
These guys had originally planned to take Long Fei for a big night out.
Long Fei waved them off, declining, as he had important things to deal with at night and couldn’t afford to mess around with them anymore. novelbuddy.cσ๓
He went back to his shack for a rest, but even in broad daylight, the renovation clatter on the roof was still going on.
Long Fei was eager to see what kind of person would live up there.
Renting a place, and treating it as if he’d bought a suite.
He held his breath and focused, simply entering a state of meditation.
With his eyes closed, darkness soon fell.
Inside Lin’s Group, after the day shift handed over to the night shift, Bald Nie took Zhang Lei and his brother Zhang Bing into the surveillance room.
Steel Hoop and Yang Huo were taken aback; ordinarily, the three of them would be sleeping in the security dormitory at this time.
The two smoked a cigarette in the hall, whispering, “Steel Hoop, how come there’s been no notice about Long Fei’s fight?”
Steel Hoop shook his head, analyzing, “Maybe Long Fei resigned on his own, so the higher-ups don’t need to bother anymore!”
Yang Huo sighed, “It’s a pity, that kid really was a tough guy.
With him around, the two of us could have had an easier time!”
Steel Hoop gave him a glance, “It’s your own doing.
If you hadn’t provoked him, would he have gotten so angry that day?”
“There’s no use talking about it now.
I just hope Captain Zheng gets promoted smoothly, and the two of us can bask in his reflected glory!”
Yang Huo exhaled smoke when suddenly a shout came, “Yang Huo, Steel Hoop, come over here!”
The two jolted to their feet, spotting Bald Nie calling them, and immediately obediently went over.
Yang Huo offered Bald Nie a cigarette, bowing and scraping, “Brother Nie, you wanted to see us?”
Bald Nie patted their shoulders with a smile, “It’s nothing much.
You guys have worked hard recently.
I feel guilty about it, so I thought I’d treat you to a drink tonight!”
Yang Huo and Steel Hoop were momentarily stunned, as if the sun had risen from the west.
Before they could react, Bald Nie had one arm over each of their shoulders, escorting them into the security room.
Inside, an electric hot pot bubbled on the stove.
The table was laid with food purchased at some point, a mix of meat and vegetables, alongside two bundles of beer.
Bald Nie took a seat at the small table, gesturing to them, “Come on over, what are you dawdling for!”
The two rubbed their palms together nervously, sat down, and cautiously inquired, “Boss, aren’t we calling Zhang Bing and the others?”
Bald Nie poured them drinks, laughing heartily, “Why call them?
Tonight, I’m treating you guys to a drink specially.
You know Captain Zheng is about to move up.
So, tell me, who do you think has the best chance for the captain’s position?”
Yang Huo immediately flattered, “Of course, it’s Brother Nie!”
“Right, right, besides Brother Nie, who else is qualified?”
Steel Hoop nodded along.
Bald Nie laughed loudly, “You guys have good judgment.
We’re not stopping tonight until we’re plastered.
If the higher-ups ask about it later, you’d better say a few good words for your brother!”
“We know, we know!”
“Absolutely!”
Steel Hoop and Yang Huo nodded repeatedly, thinking Bald Nie invited them for hot pot just for the sake of taking over as captain.
Under Bald Nie’s relentless pouring, they guzzled the beer.
In no time, only three or four bottles remained from the two bundles.
The heads of Steel Hoop and Yang Huo began to spin, and as they tried to stand up for a bathroom break, they plopped onto the floor with a thud.
Bald Nie patted their faces, smiling coldly as he carried them to a bed.
Zhang Lei approached, asking eagerly, “Big brother, is everything set?”
Bald Nie rubbed his head with a smile, “Of course, dealing with these two blockheads, what’s so hard about it?”
Zhang Lei grinned and excitedly said, “Then I’ll call Shun Ganzi straight away, tell him to get ready to move!”
Bald Nie nodded, went to the surveillance room, checked the conditions on all floors to confirm no one else was in the building, grabbed his tools, and began to carry out his own plan.
