The pre-match announcements ended in a chaotic mess.

After stepping down, Xie Jichuan didn't even glance at Song Bo, who was completely stunned by the shock, and went straight to the backstage dressing room.

Pushing open the door, I saw Li Zhizheng carrying two peripheral bags, one on his left shoulder and one on his right, like a little camel carrying a heavy load.

He immediately strode forward, took the bag without saying a word, and then obediently followed behind Li Zhi as they walked towards the competition venue.

Li Zhi turned around and glanced at him with a headache.

Xie Jichuan's expression remained completely normal, his eyes clear, showing no sign of finding anything strange about his previous remarks.

Li Zhigeng had a headache. She turned back and silently lit an incense stick for Xie Jichuan in her heart.

Hopefully, Xie Jichuan will be able to refrain from harming himself once he regains his senses.

The group took their seats at the competition area, adjusted their equipment, entered the BP (Ban/Pick) phase, and the competition began quickly.

Both sides used standard lineups as if they had agreed beforehand, without any fancy tactics, just a real test of basic skills.

Li Zhiben was on edge, mentally prepared to shoulder the burden alone.

After all, there's an Alpha on the team who's in a vulnerable phase and could do something unexpected on the field at any time.

But as the game progressed, he realized that they could easily defeat K4 using only the most standard skills.

My tense nerves gradually relaxed, and I began to play the game according to the training method.

The first game quickly progressed to the late game. K4's three high ground towers were all destroyed, and when the minion wave pushed forward, the opponent had no chance to fight back.

Taking advantage of Xie Jichuan's momentary lapse in concentration, Li Zhi seized the opportunity to steal several blue buffs from him, causing his economy to soar to the highest in the entire game.

He maneuvered his hero to wreak havoc inside the crystal, his twin blades flashing as he reaped kills with effortless grace.

Jiang Xingle painfully carried the tower, watching his mid laner show off in front of the crystal.

His health was being chipped away at by the turret, but thankfully, the crystal exploded just a second before it could destroy his last bit of health.

The score is now 1-0.

The second game was an even more crushing victory.

The K4 players seemed to realize they couldn't win, and their morale plummeted, even giving off a "let's just finish this game and go home" vibe.

In less than 30 minutes, RAK cleanly ended the game with a score of 2-0.

The MVP award was still given to Li Zhi.

In order to conserve the limited electricity in the venue, Li Zhi was left on stage to be interviewed by the winning side immediately after the match ended.

He watched as Song Bo led Xie Jichuan away, and only when their figures disappeared at the end of the passage did Li Zhi feel relieved and pull his neck back from that direction.

The host smiled, but there was a mischievous glint in his eyes; it was clear he had no intention of asking any serious questions.

She raised the microphone, her tone sarcastic: "I wonder if Lychee watched River's pre-race interview? What are your thoughts on it?"

Li Zhi's lips twitched, and she took the microphone, deciding to play the fool:

"My conclusion is that anyone who touches the River will die."

The live chat instantly erupted in laughter, with the screen filled with "hahahahahaha" and "reciprocity" messages.

The host realized he was joking and, taking advantage of the situation, chuckled and asked a harmless question:

"So that's why you beat Mantou so badly in today's match?"

Li Zhi shook her head, her tone becoming more serious: "It's just a normal match, there's no such thing as 'torture' or 'abuse'."

He subtly steered the conversation back on track, and after answering two more questions about the competition, Li Zhicai was taken off the stage.

He handed the microphone back to the staff member and turned to walk towards the lounge when a figure blocked his way.

The newcomer was a female Alpha, dressed in a suit and tie, with a dark gold lapel pin tied at the collar of her white shirt, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, her eyes behind the lenses sharp and calm.

The woman's expression was stern, but a faint smile played at the corners of her lips.

"Hello, I am the head of the Third Procuratorial Department of the Municipal Procuratorate."

She paused for a second, her gaze behind her glasses softening slightly. "Excuse me, are you Li Zhi?"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment.

Within three seconds, his brain was working at an unprecedented speed, going through everything he had ever done since birth.

Aside from stealing loquats from his neighbor's tree when he was a child, his life story is so remarkable it could be displayed on a front door as a model resident poster.

Seeing how nervous he was, the visitor smiled and handed him a business card from the inside pocket of his suit jacket.

"My name is Fang Jingnian." Her voice, like her personality, was crisp and decisive. "Someone reported a case of public humiliation of an Omega, and I've come to you to understand the situation."

Li Zhi took the business card, glanced down, and saw the name: "Fang Jingnian, Director of the Third Procuratorial Department of the Municipal People's Procuratorate".

The gold-embossed lettering is neatly arranged on the business card, each character exuding the weight of public power.

He now understood that this person had come for the mountains.

He nodded and put the business card away: "Okay, let's talk in private."

The two arrived at a quiet corner at the end of the corridor, away from the bustling passageway.

Fang Jingnian took a voice recorder out of her bag, turned it on, and asked her questions professionally and calmly:

"You mean, from the very beginning, Da Shan looked down on your Omega identity?"

Kuri nods and states the facts calmly:

"Yes, his words were full of things like Omega isn't fit to play esports. He probably didn't expect his prejudice to be unintentionally exposed."

Fang Jingnian's expression turned serious: "The Omega protection law is very comprehensive now. Not to mention public offenses, even the few insults he said to you in private are enough to warrant a case."

As she spoke, she closed her notebook and put away the recorder. "I'll go back to the supervisory department to investigate further. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Li Zhi felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes crinkled into a smile, and her voice softened considerably: "Okay, thank you."

After seeing the person off, Li Zhi returned to the lounge and found that Xie Jichuan was not there.

His eyelids twitched suddenly, and his voice involuntarily rose a little: "Where is Xie Jichuan?"

Ling Wang was sitting on the sofa drinking water when he heard this, so he put down his water bottle: "He was taken away by his mother's people. They said there was a special medicine to help the captain get through his susceptible period quickly."

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

He had just sat down on the sofa when Cheng Yi chased him in from outside, clutching something in his hand and panting heavily.

"Lychee, the prosecutor just asked me to give you a key."

Li Zhi took it and glanced at it twice.

It was an ordinary key, silver in color, with neat and regular teeth marks, nothing particularly special about it.

He looked at it over and over again, but he still couldn't understand why a head of the prosecutor's office would give him a key.

Which case is this evidence from? Or is it something he was asked to hand over to someone?

Just as he was puzzled, Song Bo walked by, glanced down at what was in his hand, and said in a flat tone:

"Oh, Xie Jichuan's mother has already given you the key?"

Li Zhi froze: "His mother...his mother? His mother...his mother...his mother? This key...his mother?!"

Ling Wang, who had just met Fang Jingnian, chimed in, "Indeed, damn it."

Song Bo, as if he had been attacked: "..."
