[Esports] Pheromones say we're a match made in heaven.

The boy's heart sank the moment he saw Chi Feifan.

Who doesn't know that Chi Feifan is the boss of Hawk these days?

Chi Feifan bent down to pick up the phone and, without much expression, clicked "cancel" on the option to delete the contact.

"That's my phone! Don't look at it, give it back!" The boy, his face flushed and neck red, was panting heavily. "I'm telling you, you...you're violating my privacy!"

Chi Feifan ignored him, quickly browsed through the chat history and transfer records, and took out his phone to record a complete video on the boy's phone.

Not bad, not bad luck. It seems we don't need to apply for a thorough investigation from the alliance. This person is already getting restless. The more guilty a person is, the more flaws they will reveal.

Cheng Yuan's ears hurt from the noise: "What are you yelling about? Think about it another way. We're trying to clear your name. If we really made a mistake, we'll pay you whatever amount you want."

After Chi Feifan finished recording the video, Cheng Yuan understood and released the boy.

The boy's legs trembled as he snatched the phone from Chi Feifan's hand.

"Who told you to do this?" Chi Feifan asked.

"What are you talking about? I don't know!"

Chi Feifan clicked his tongue, his tone icy: "Even if you don't tell me, I can still find the rat hiding behind the scenes."

Cheng Yuan kindly reminded the boy, "Brother, just tell the truth. If you confess honestly and genuinely repent, maybe that person can be considered to have instigated you. If you don't talk, then that means you're trying to cover it up."

"What...?"

Chi Feifan stood in front, and Cheng Yuan blocked the path behind him.

Chi Feifan looked at the boy in front of him who was about the same age as Shen Shu and guessed that he had just come of age and had recently become a professional player.

Perhaps knowing he was doomed, the boy swayed, feeling the entire corridor shake, and almost lost his footing. A chill rose from the soles of his feet, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.

"I didn't intend to protect him, no, I didn't intend to protect him..."

"So you're admitting it?" Cheng Yuan asked, puzzled. "Dude, what benefits did they give you? Don't you know that drugging other contestants isn't just a red line anymore, it's on the law enforcement front."

The boy suddenly clenched his team uniform tightly with both hands, his shoulders trembling: "I don't know, I don't know who he is, he just gave me money, and then, and then I was bewitched."

Chi Feifan just saw a screenshot of a remittance in the chat history. The other party transferred five million to him, and there is still a five million balance that has not been paid.

This is indeed very tempting for a teenager.

"Bewitched by a demon?" Chi Feifan said slowly. "I saw in your records that you agreed quite readily."

The boy choked and fell silent.

After a long while, he said in a trembling voice, "I really regret it."

"Why didn't you admit it after you drugged him? If you had said so earlier, maybe Shen Shu wouldn't have drunk the drugged water. Or if you had said so before the game, we would have started Lao Jiang directly."

"You were clearly scared when you saw Shen Shu's reaction to the drug. If we hadn't cornered you here, would you have destroyed the evidence and then kept the five million as if nothing had happened?"

Chi Feifan ruthlessly exposed his thoughts, as if tearing off his fig leaf. The boy bit his lower lip hard, his face turning pale and then red.

Cheng Yuan scoffed, "You make it sound so nice, but all you really do is avoid taking responsibility."

The boy, his sore spot touched, immediately became agitated: "Stop talking! If you guys had been sitting on the bench ever since you joined JDK, not getting any prize money from competitions and receiving pitifully little commission from live streaming, you would agree if you were in my situation!"

"All the club's money was taken by those few popular players. If I had stayed on the bench until I retired, I wouldn't have earned that much!"

Cheng Yuan: "Hey, even though you're not on the same team, you're all from the same country. You've already gone international. Even if you're doing this for money, you can't drug your own people. Hawk is clearly the most likely to win the championship in the finals. When the finals are held, it won't just be the team flag that's raised, but the national flag too..."

"So what?" the boy interrupted him. "If a pie fell from the sky and hit you, wouldn't you be tempted? Stop pretending to be so high and mighty!"

Chi Feifan stared at him silently for a while.

When someone prioritizes personal gain over collective interests and even national honor for the sake of more money, they are no longer human, let alone a professional player; they should be forever condemned to shame.

Chi Feifan didn't know when he started paying so much attention to these things. He only knew that if it were any one of the Hawk members, they wouldn't do it. Not even the money-grubbing Chen Yangyang.

Chi Feifan sent a message to Chen Yangyang.

Chen Yangyang, who had already contacted the event supervisor, came over in a menacing manner with her staff.

As she walked, Chen Yangyang kept muttering angrily, "It's him! Our contestant has already been sent to the hospital for examination and got a certificate. Now the evidence is conclusive. Such a young age and he's already going astray..."

Inside the venue, the commentator couldn't help but feel worried for Hawk. This year, the Japanese and Korean teams are playing very aggressively, and among the domestic teams, only Hawk has a decent score so far, while the others are all stuck at the bottom of the leaderboard.

"Hawk played very steadily last game, and the score was caught up a bit, but being ranked fourth is still a bit dangerous unless he can get a top-three finish this game."

Before the commentator could finish speaking, Qin Yi dodged the enemy's bullet with a quick movement.

My wrist seemed to be protesting, emitting a painful ache from the unbearable strain.

Qin Yi remained calm, preemptively pressing the enemy so they dared not show their faces. Hearing footsteps behind him, Qin Yi reacted swiftly, turning and lying prone. The enemy's bullets all hit the wall, sending dust flying everywhere.

Qin Yi dealt with the person who flanked him, and then engaged in a fierce battle with the two opponents.

"Live was separated from his two teammates by the enemy, but he held his own against three opponents. Following his four-man kill with a single grenade in the finals, Live once again delivered a brilliant performance on the world stage, defeating three opponents and bringing the Russian team to his knees!"

The fans below the stage gripped their light sticks and team flags tightly, looking up at the screen with bated breath. They didn't dare to breathe when Qin Yi killed the first person, and only cheered loudly when he killed the last person.

Hawk jumped to second place in the overall rankings, widening the gap with fourth place.

"It's in the bag! We've qualified!"

"Wow, awesome!"

"Hawk! Hawk! Hawk!"

The match has ended.

Qin Yi took off his headphones and heard the deafening cheers from the audience.

The other three teammates were hugging and bumping shoulders in celebration. He clenched his numb and trembling fingers, then pulled something out of his pocket.

As a star player who survived, several cameras were pointed at him. The director only heard a shout from Hawk's fans and quickly switched the camera to him.

Qin Yi then fastened something to his wrist.

Under the spotlight, Qin Yi modified the small charm that originally hung on the bag, adding a snap clasp that could be fastened.

The teams that advanced had to stay on the field for a group photo, and a staff member ran over and handed Qin Yi their team flag. This time, the team flag didn't have a flagpole; it was just a single flag.

Qin Yi put on the pendant and stood on the stage with his teammates.

The fans in the audience were silent for a moment, and then the stadium erupted in deafening screams.

"Wasn't that a gift from her boyfriend? Ahhhh, he's wearing it!"

"Aaaaaah, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to suffocate!"

"This is the least objection I've ever had to a live couple's show! Waaaaah, I'm eating it all up!"

As the team flag with "Hawk" written in large letters was unfurled on the big screen, Qin Yi raised his hand, which was adorned with a pendant, and the small bell on the pendant jingled.

No victory comes easily or by chance. This is my honor, the team's honor, and yours too.
