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

The manager was so angry he raised his hand to hit someone, but then thought better of it and threw his phone in front of him instead: "Take a good look for yourselves and see whose team uniform he's wearing!"

Wolf and the others crowded around and stared at the screen for a while. When they realized something was wrong, some of them turned pale.

"What...what's going on? So he's not a Hawk player at all and we made a mistake?" The young man filming the video stammered. Last night, they had all drunk some alcohol, and none of them had looked closely at the professional ID on the back of their clothes.

"Otherwise what!" the manager roared, pointing at Heng Sheng's nose. "Tell me what you were thinking! Don't think I can't guess you started this just because I wasn't there!"

Heng Sheng's smile vanished, but he still maintained an indifferent attitude. With his hands in his pockets, he said gloomily, "The video is in our hands. We just won't release the first half. The video circulating online doesn't even clearly show the name of 'Live.' So what if Hawk comes out to clarify? It's just those marketing accounts that posted it; it has nothing to do with us."

Unfortunately, they couldn't drag Hawk down with them this time either.

The young man filming the video, not wanting to take responsibility, quickly chimed in: "Yeah, anyway, it's not our fault. We're completely the ones being attacked in the video!"

Manager Wolf was furious: "It seems like this is the only way now."

He paced restlessly in his room, constantly monitoring online public opinion. A bunch of Hawk fans came to question him under the official Wolf account.

[As one of the parties involved, shouldn't you say something? Who filmed this video?]

[You hired these marketing accounts, didn't you? And you edited the video by cutting off the beginning and end, didn't you?]

[Cowards! How can you stay so calm when your own players are getting beaten? I've never seen you like this during matches.]

Unfortunately, Wolf was determined to play dead and refused to respond to anything anyone said, while the account manager kept deleting comments.

"Aside from the bathroom, you didn't cause any trouble in areas with surveillance cameras last night, did you?"

The rest of Wolf's team shook their heads repeatedly, corroborating each other: "No, we ate in the private room all day yesterday, we didn't go anywhere else."

Manager Wolf suddenly remembered something.

Private room?

They seemed to have said something they shouldn't have said while they were having dinner in the private room yesterday. Is there surveillance footage in the private room?

We need to contact the hot pot restaurant immediately and ask them to delete yesterday's surveillance footage.

The manager hurriedly asked Hengsheng to call the hot pot restaurant, only to learn that the restaurant's surveillance footage from yesterday had been completely retrieved.

"Who? One of Hawk's people?"

The hot pot restaurant owner didn't know anyone named Hawk. He only knew that Hawk was a rich young man with blond hair, and that he was accompanied by a young man wearing a pure black windbreaker.

Manager Wolf was completely bewildered. He had just hung up the phone at the hot pot restaurant when his phone started vibrating incessantly again.

The call came from an unknown number.

Hengsheng answered the phone in place of the manager.

As soon as the call connected, instead of a human voice, the voice coming from a surveillance video was heard.

The video was a bit noisy, but the Wolf team members recognized it immediately, because it was exactly what they had said in the private room yesterday.

In the private room, some of them were drinking and others were smoking. At the slightest dissatisfaction, they would yell at the waiters. Perhaps they had drunk too much, because their broken Chinese was mixed with a lot of swear words. They couldn't stop talking about Hawk, and they even had to say a few words about the survivors' officials.

Wolf and his companions were stunned.

They're going to disband their club because they don't have enough funds after this World Cup qualifier. It's not like they're planning to quit altogether. Once this video is released online, with audio and video, and even a hot pot restaurant waiter as a witness, the evidence is conclusive. The authorities will definitely take action against them.

Heng Sheng finally lost his temper and roared, "Who are you? What do you want?! Stop playing tricks on me!"

"Do you dare to do what you said and did, but not admit it?"

Qin Yi held Chi Feifan's phone, his voice cheerful, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The voice was like a nightmare, freezing Heng Sheng in place, making his blood run cold.

He couldn't remember much about what happened after last night. He only knew that he was completely overwhelmed by Qin Yi's pheromones and had no chance to fight back. After many years, he heard Qin Yi's voice speaking to him again while he was sober.

Qin Yi was still the same as always, speaking lightly and calmly, and he was also the same as always, his mental defenses were instantly shattered by this voice.

"Make him hand over the complete video," Chi Feifan whispered to Qin Yi from the side.

As expected, a team like Wolf has a lot of dirty tricks up its sleeve. If they can cause trouble in public, they must be even more brazen when no one is around.

"Hand over the complete video." Qin Yi looked down at Chi Feifan, who was frowning and whose face was full of disgust. He would say whatever Chi Feifan told him to say.

"And post the video online so you can explain the whole story yourselves. If you mispronounce a single word, the surveillance footage will go viral. You have one minute to think about it."

Manager Wolf doesn't speak Chinese, but he has led teams to China to participate in competitions of all sizes, so he can understand some simple sentences.

Hearing that they only had one minute to consider, he exclaimed, "What?!" Then he rushed over, grabbed Heng Sheng, and rattled off, "Tell them we're willing to hand over the complete video, we'll cooperate, but make them swear not to post the surveillance video online!"

Upon hearing this, Wolf's other teammates immediately tensed up. As time ticked by and Heng Sheng remained silent, they couldn't hold back any longer and began to turn on him.

"It's all your fault for picking on Hawk. You want to be punished by the league, but we don't. We have no grudge against Hawk!"

"Captain, you're the one who asked me to record this video yesterday, and you're also the one who told us to find marketing accounts to post it online. You have to take responsibility for this."

"You don't want to play professionally anymore? I do! I just became a professional player this year!"

Heng Sheng gripped his phone tightly, wishing he could crush the screen: "Shut up! What right do you have to criticize me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have made it to this year's qualifiers! Did anyone object when I targeted Hawk? Huh? Weren't you all cursing the officials in the private room? Did I force you to say those things?"

The room fell into dead silence.

Qin Yi kindly reminded him, "Time's up. Have you made up your mind?"

Heng Sheng's face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, we will do as you ask, but on one condition: you must destroy the surveillance footage in front of us."

Qin Yi and Chi Feifan exchanged a glance.

Chi Feifan took the phone: "You're not in a position to negotiate now."

"Then, then swear to God you won't post the surveillance footage online! Is that alright? Otherwise, we will never do as you wish!"

"Okay, I swear I won't post the surveillance video online, or I'll get hit by a car and die."

Qin Yi paused, then frowned slightly.

Having sworn such a vicious oath, Heng Sheng had no choice but to say in a resentful voice, "Remember what you said."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Feifan immediately sent the surveillance video file he had just imported to Chen Yangyang. Without looking up, he said to Qin Yi, "Let whoever spread the rumors refute them. Once Wolf has debunked the rumors, then have your manager issue a clarification."

"Have him send out the surveillance footage as well. You should contact Chen Yangyang by phone; that way, communication will be faster."

After waiting for a long time, the person standing in front of me neither spoke nor moved.

Chi Feifan was somewhat puzzled and was about to urge him on.

Suddenly, he felt something pierce the hair at the back of his head, and it took him two seconds to realize that it was Qin Yi's finger.

The fingers tightened gently, pulling at the scalp with strands of hair. It didn't hurt, but it forced Chi Feifan to lift his head.

They stood behind a green belt that few people would notice, not far from a subway station, from which commuters poured out, their footsteps, cell phone videos, and traffic noises mingling together.

Chi Feifan stared blankly at Qin Yi. The noisy sounds suddenly seemed very distant. He forgot what he was going to say, and only Qin Yi's image remained in his pupils.

"Who taught you to make such a dangerous oath?"

When Qin Yi doesn't smile, he looks even more like his mother, with his sharp features standing out, giving him an inexplicably serious appearance.

It's bothering you, minding your own business.

That's what Chi Feifan was thinking.

Previously, only Chi Feifan would grab other people's hair; no one had ever dared to treat him like this. He couldn't stand being treated like this on the street, like someone who had made a mistake being publicly reprimanded.

He wanted to punch Qin Yi and then tell him to get lost.

But when Chi Feifan looked at Qin Yi's face so close to his own, and his indifferent eyes and brows as light as winter snow, his heart suddenly clenched slightly.

A strange sense of panic and trembling swept over my body and mind.

"I...I swear I won't post it, I didn't say you Hawks won't post it."
