One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 196: Chapter 173 Ye Zhaoyu’s Persistence

Ye Xiao had already returned home.

At this moment, he was watching this part of the story.

The next part of the story.

Yue Heng surprisingly stopped beating around the bush and directly expressed that he wanted Tong Simeng to return to TC Club for a bit and take advantage of her professional convenience to obtain some core information from TC Club. If she could get their tactical arrangements for the finals, that would be even better.

In his words, he still pretended that he was not doing it for the Tianxing Club, but just to get revenge for Tong Simeng.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence would have discerned Yue Heng’s intentions by now.

But.

Tong Simeng hadn’t caught on, she was even quite moved.

Originally.

She realized that someone valued the injustices she suffered even more than she did!

Yue Heng had really gone out of his way to seek revenge for her.

If that was the case, she couldn’t let him down.

In the end, Tong Simeng declared affectionately, “Yue Heng, rest assured. I will go back once. Someone like Ye Zhaoyu doesn’t deserve to win the championship. What we’re doing is merely ensuring that the championship ends up in the right hands.”

“Right, that’s exactly it,” Yue Heng nodded eagerly in agreement.

Ye Xiao finished watching.

The overall feeling was one of speechlessness.

[Stealing documents is just stealing documents, yet they make it out to be so righteously indignant. They act as if they’re ridding the people of a scourge, disgusting.]

While watching the story, Ye Xiao also let out some of his thoughts.

Putting it together, it wasn’t hard to guess Tong Simeng’s next move.

Ye Bolin felt, as the chosen one, it was his duty to give Ye Zhaoyu a heads-up.

He spoke in a softened tone, “Zhaoyu, you’ve finished dealing with things so you can probably head back now. You should take care of whatever you need to in the team. I’ve been closely following your matches recently, and the mid-laner in your team seems to be a bit lacking compared to the rest of you.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaoyu quickly said, “That mid-laner has indeed declined quite a bit. After the semi-finals, I plan to have him replaced.”

Ye Lin added, “That Tong Simeng, I don’t think she’ll let you off so easily; she’ll probably continue to be a nuisance in the team. She’s been walking a very tight rope with that Yue Heng, and he’s no simple character. Be more vigilant when it comes to Tong Simeng.”

Ye Zhaoyu agreed with each point.

He couldn’t help but sigh to himself.

It seemed that in this family, he was indeed the most naive.

If he hadn’t heard Xiaoxiao’s inner thoughts, he would never have thought of these things.

Yet, his elder brothers could infer them on their own—this is the so-called wisdom!

But it was not a big problem.

Being able to hear Xiaoxiao’s thoughts was the greatest gift from the heavens.

“Tactical arrangements before a match are very important for a team,” Ye Mingcheng also authoritatively said, “If someone leaks this information, I’m afraid it might pose some problems.”

Ye Zhaoyu squinted his eyes thoughtfully and said in a deliberate manner, “I am the main commander of the team, and only the coach and I understand the details behind our execution. Even if someone knew our tactics just by looking at the surface, they wouldn’t be able to decipher them. Unless they got their hands on all of our detailed data and exact arrangements. Currently, only the coach and I have that information.”

According to Xiaoxiao’s thoughts, Tong Simeng was set on finding a breakthrough from him, taking that detailed information.

Yue Heng must also be plotting to make his move from someone else’s side.

If only Tong Simeng succeeded, then that would prove the coach was trustworthy, and so were the other team members apart from the mid-laner.

This time, of course, he wouldn’t reveal anything to Tong Simeng.

Moreover, once he returned, he would gather the entire team for a closed training session, leaving no opportunity for Tong Simeng.

Ye Xiao, listening on the side, pondered.

[If that’s the case, maybe we could turn the tables and set up a fake strategy directly for Tong Simeng. Wouldn’t that cause the Tianxing Club to waste a lot of time on something futile?]

Ye Xiao’s idea was actually quite good.

The Ye family members began to contemplate how to present this plan.

However, Ye Zhaoyu calmly said, “Since Tong Simeng is doomed to try and steal the data, perhaps arranging fake information might be the most suitable method. But…”

Ye Zhaoyu had thought of it himself?

The Ye family members were still surprised when they heard the ‘but’ and unanimously turned their gazes toward him.

Ye Zhaoyu gave a wry smile, “Maybe I’m just foolish. Even now, I still believe that the charm of eSports lies in its fairness. I don’t want to use such methods to deliberately drain their energy. I want to win, but I only want to win fair and square!”

At this moment.

Ye Zhaoyu’s gaze was firm, but inside, he was still a bit nervous.

He was worried that Xiaoxiao would think him foolish.

But upon hearing this, Ye Xiao just smiled.

“Is the charm of eSports in fair competition? Ah! I really want to go see the finals.”

Ye Zhaoyu’s gaze softened, and he said gently, “If you have time during the finals, Xiaoxiao, I would like to invite you to watch the match.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, though she still said, “I’ll have to see how the filming schedule works out.”

She would have to return to the film crew soon, and it wouldn’t be good to ask for leave again so soon after the last time.

“It’s okay,” Ye Zhaoyu said earnestly. “We are both striving hard in the fields we love, and that’s enough.”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but nod.

“Wow, Third Brother looks especially handsome at this moment. Is this what they mean by ‘men look most attractive when they’re focused’?”

Ye Bolin: “???”

Isn’t he handsome?

Isn’t he focused?

Fine!

Next time, he’ll take Ye Xiao to the company to watch him in a meeting!

Ye Lin: “…”

Actually, a lot of script offers have already been thrown his way.

Should he join a production to show off a bit?

At the very least, he should let Xiaoxiao see what’s charming about him.

Ye Mingcheng stroked his stubble.

Forget it, he might as well keep lying low—after all, his wife appreciated his good looks.

Ye Zhaoyu stood a bit straighter, a hint of pride inevitable on his face.

Right, that’s how handsome he is.

And it’s a handsomeness certified by Xiaoxiao.

It’s a pity no one else could hear, otherwise, they’d be green with envy.

After a brief catch-up with his family, Ye Zhaoyu went back to the club overnight.

The semifinals were imminent, and he had to get into training mode as quickly as possible.

If they didn’t even win the semifinals, that would be a real joke.

Ye Xiao stayed at home for the night, and the next day, she returned to the film crew to resume normal shooting.

Lin Yun had been waiting at the set early, notebook in hand.

Ye Xiao gave Lin Yun a big hug.

She was truly happy for Lin Yun.

Not just because her fate had changed.

But more so because.

Lin Yun had pulled herself together once again, and from now on, her life wouldn’t be dark. She would have light, and a lot of it.

In between shoots, Ye Xiao also kept an eye on Ye Zhaoyu’s progress.

After Ye Zhaoyu returned, it was a race against time to prepare for the semifinals immediately.

In this autumn’s competition, TC, carrying the momentum of two consecutive championships, was aiming for a third. Despite some unexpected issues, TC remained overwhelmingly strong, defeating their opponents 4:0 in the semifinals to advance to the finals.

At the same time.

Tianxing Club also defeated their opponents and made it to the finals.

Just like in the book.

This time, the finals would still pit Tianxing against TC!
