Chapter 12: Crossing the Bridge (2)
If Liu Chuanhao is thirty or forty years older, we will consider whether he has encountered telecom fraud, but a young man in his twenties who was born in the Internet era will not be deceived by such inferior scams.
But this only made his behavior even more strange, since he didn't even want to care about his family, what was the purpose of transferring money to this person?
As a teammate, I felt the need for me to take care of this and avoid any surprises.
When I found Liu Chuanhao, he seemed a little depressed, and when I asked about it, the explanation he gave was that when I used to play games in my hometown, I met a friend who also wanted to play professionally in the Internet café in the village, of course, this friend of his, who was older than him, did not play in the end.
At that time, Liu Chuanhao didn't have any friends in his hometown, this person was one of his few brothers, and now that he was rich, his brother was in trouble, so he naturally had to support him.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that there is a flicker between his words when answering this question, and his expression does not look natural, as if he is deliberately avoiding something. And there is a glaring loophole in his statement: I know that Liu Chuanhao's hometown is in a small town on the southwest border, and the broadband operator there is different from my hometown. Since the game account will record the operator who logged in for the first time, and the operator shown in Li Tanhua's account is our operator, I don't believe that he once played the game "Book Title" at the Internet café in his hometown.
But the money is earned by him, and how he spends it is also his business, and as a teammate, I can't control it. And who hasn't had an unspeakable secret these years, thinking of this, I won't pursue it anymore.
However, the next day, I unexpectedly received a text message from an unfamiliar number: "You know what to do in the next game against the Elevens, otherwise I will expose the secret." ”
When I saw this text message, I laughed, thinking that I Chen Liao has always stood up straight and acted rightly, so what kind of unsightly secrets there is. I know that the Elevens team is now in chaos and has been tearing down and rebuilding, after the Tang Dynasty team fell into the second league, they can basically be said to be the weakest team in the league, and the odds of this game are also very high in overseas betting sites, if we lose this game, then the person who crushes the Elevens team to win will undoubtedly be able to make a big profit. It's just that I don't know where the crazy gambling dog actually wants to blackmail me with this kind of thing.
I replied with great interest, "Tell me, what are my secrets?" ”
After waiting for about two minutes, the other party replied with a message:
"Let's put it this way, if you win the game in two days, I'm afraid that Xie Liuying's previous drug abuse will become a hot topic of discussion on the whole network."
Me: "......"
I have to say that this time I was shallow, and after more than half a year, I forgot that I didn't have any tricks on me, but Xie Liuying's somewhat dark past will still cause controversy among others.
I didn't know how to reply for a while, but when the other party saw that I didn't respond, he sent another message: "You think about it and give me a recovery before nine o'clock tonight, otherwise the relevant evidence will be exposed at that time." ”
This incident made me feel an unprecedented crisis, and since I signed the oath of Wang Jingluo in college, I have known that fighting against the mastermind behind the scenes is not my own business. Although the opponent is strong, we are also united, and we young professionals also have strong backing.
But this incident completely separated me from the others. Under normal circumstances, if I am threatened or attacked by the forces behind the scenes, I can ask my teammates, coaches, or even game officials for help, just like the last fan circle invasion. But Xie Liuying's secret is not told to anyone except me, of course I can't tell anyone else, let alone ask them for help, in the same way, I don't want to take out this text message to discuss with Xie Liuying, because in this situation, she will not have more ways than me, telling her is nothing more than increasing her troubles.
It seems that the person who sent me a text message to threaten me understands my psychology very thoroughly, and the other party has calculated that I can neither ask others for help, nor can I let Xie Liuying's secret be made public, so there is only one way left to go.
But I'm not stupid, as long as the handle is still in the opponent's hands, then even if I do what he asks for this time, he may let me do other more excessive things next time. And the match-fixing itself will become a new handle to be pinched in the hands of the other party, and when the time comes, I will fall deeper and deeper, and I will not be able to get myself out.
I thought about it carefully, and in the current situation, it was better to make a procrastination trick first, so I replied: "In the next game, whether I fake or not, the Eleven-Man Pavilion team will not be able to win." Because in the next competition, our team's data analysts will use a new data analysis system to reveal all the weaknesses of the opponent, and then even if I don't play properly, I can easily win with just four of my teammates. ”
I know that there is still too little information about the other party, and only by talking a few more words and inducing the other party to say more information can the current unfavorable situation be reversed. And one of the things that I really care about in his rhetoric is that "the evidence will come to light at that point." ”
Xie Liuying's drug use, except for me, should only be known to four people, one of them is herself, two are the bad couple who dragged her into the water, and the remaining one is the big brother who took her to play "Book Title". Although her big brother doesn't know who it is, it was a good intention at the beginning, and since he took her out of the sea of suffering, there is no need to stab her in the back a few years later.
There is a possibility that the bad couple will leak secrets, and according to the time calculation, they should almost come out of the bureau. But many years have passed since the incident, and even if this matter is to be mentioned again, it is empty words, and where can any "evidence" be kept?
But the person who sent me the message threatening me was not only conclusive, apparently aware of it, but also seemed to have evidence in his hands. I am very curious about what the evidence in his hand is, and in the current situation, as long as I can dispose of this evidence in his hand, then I will no longer be subject to him.
