One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 208: Chapter 185 It’s Over, All Over

“I’m sorry, I let everyone down,” Su Fan suddenly said.

Yue Heng’s head shot up.

He had been thinking about the PR strategy when Su Fan’s words caught him off guard.

What was this man trying to do?

Was he admitting defeat to gain sympathy?

While Yue Heng hesitated, Su Fan said softly, “Two months ago, someone from Tianxing approached me. It was me who was seduced by interest and money, and failed to keep my original aspiration. I let down the captain, let down my teammates, and those friends who chased the dream with me, I…”

“Su Fan!!!” Yue Heng was on the verge of madness.

He shouted in anger and then unplugged the power!

He could never have anticipated that Su Fan could be this foolish.

By not acknowledging these things, even if his reputation suffered a bit, he could still continue to play the game.

But now.

He had confessed.

No team would want someone who had been involved in match-fixing.

His career was over!

And that was not all!

He had directly pointed out that it was Tianxing who had bought him off!

This was like dragging the whole club down with him!

Yue Heng looked at Su Fan with murderous eyes: “Su Fan, have you gone mad?”

In that moment, Su Fan was exceptionally calm.

“I originally didn’t deserve to play e-sports anymore. Mr. Yue, I only told the truth and didn’t slander you. You destroyed my career, and I’ve told a mere truth. We are even,” he said.

Standing up, Su Fan left without hesitation.

Yue Heng, bursting with fury, shouted, “You think you can just leave like this?”

Su Fan replied calmly, “What else? Everyone knows I was with Tianxing Club. Are you still planning to kill me in a fit of rage, Mr. Yue?”

Yue Heng suddenly found himself speechless.

Indeed, he couldn’t do much.

He only said darkly, “You can go. But do you think you’ll have good days in the future?”

“Then consider it my retribution,” Su Fan said with a wry smile, turning around and leaving without any hesitation.

Yue Heng watched his retreating figure, his gaze extremely dark.

He would not let Su Fan get away with this.

Never!

But, not right now.

Yue Heng quickly turned to look at the current public opinion.

The live stream had gone dark after he pulled the plug.

But the viewers in the live stream were still discussing fervently.

“That shout just now, it sounded like Yue Heng!!”

“Suddenly it feels so scary! Has Yue Heng been watching from off-camera all along?”

“Su Fan finally told the truth at the end, is Yue Heng going to harm him?”

“I’m starting to worry about Su Fan…”

“Su Fan did do something wrong. He probably can’t play e-sports for the rest of his life. That’s the punishment he deserves. But if Yue Heng wants to retaliate, I will definitely defend Su Fan to the death!”

“Quick! Everyone, check Weibo. The captain has posted.”

Everyone hurried back to Weibo.

Ye Zhaoyu posted a very serious tweet: “Everyone makes mistakes, and I will never forgive you for the ones you made in e-sports. But outside of e-sports, you can still have a new life. This much I can guarantee.”

Ye Zhaoyu’s message was clear.

He would no longer accept Su Fan as a partner.

But, if Yue Heng tried to take action against Su Fan after leaving the industry, he would help.

With the Ye Family’s capability, he had the power to do so.

Su Fan’s fans were somewhat moved.

“Thank you, Captain.”

“Thank you, Captain.”

“I’ve been too harsh on the captain before; I’m truly sorry. Captain, I apologize.”

“Ye Zhaoyu will always be the best captain.”

On Weibo.

The hashtag #TheBestCaptain soon shot up the trend list.

Su Fan walked alone on the empty streets, initially unsure of where to go.

Then, his fans urged him to check Ye Zhaoyu’s Weibo.

Su Fan’s eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

Actually.

From start to finish, Ye Zhaoyu never changed.

He abandoned the life of a rich young master, always pursuing the purest dream of esports.

The one who changed was him.

Just as the captain said.

This time, he made a mistake.

The price he paid was losing his identity as an esports player forever.

But.

In other fields, he could have a new beginning.

This way, things were already very good.

Su Fan didn’t hesitate and went to TC Club.

He thought that no matter what, he owed the captain, owed the others, a formal apology.

When Su Fan returned to TC Club.

He entered the door.

Everyone was there waiting for him.

They looked at him.

Feeling regret.

Feeling sad.

They all knew.

From now on, they would no longer be able to fight together as teammates.

Su Fan’s eyes reddened even more as he looked at Ye Zhaoyu, his voice slightly hoarse, “Captain… I was wrong.”

Ye Zhaoyu sighed.

His heart also felt somewhat heavy.

But he just patted Su Fan on the shoulder, “Start over.”

Su Fan nodded.

“You little rascal, how could you do such a thing!”

“We thought you were just in a slump and wanted to wait for your recovery! But you were actually bought off by those scoundrels.”

“Did you even consider us your brothers?”

The others complained in a mix of voices.

But Su Fan actually felt relieved.

He lived every day like a thief after rigging those matches, now hearing everyone’s accusations and complaints, he actually felt like he could really start over.

They were willing to scold him, willing to question him.

It meant, in turn, that they still cared about him as a partner.

“It was Yue Heng being too cunning,” one said.

“Forget it, don’t think too much about it,” another added.

“Let it be. From now on, we can only get together to play games in private.”

Su Fan mustered a smile, “Thank you, everyone.”

Ye Zhaoyu and Su Fan’s meeting was not attended by the Ye family.

Ye Xiao and the others left through another door directly.

Thinking of Su Fan, Ye Xiao also sighed.

Actually.

In the original plot.

During the final competition, Tianxing Team won but not easily; there were even a few lines dedicated to TC’s mid-laner who executed perfect combos.

Ye Xiao thought.

Su Fan probably struggled too.

But.

In the end, he chose to be swept away by desire.

With this one mistake, he lost his entire professional career.

That was, no doubt, the price that was due.

Su Fan left abruptly; Tong Simeng, looking at Yue Heng’s dark face, couldn’t help feeling scared.

She said cautiously, “Yue Heng, don’t worry too much, we can just start over.”

Yue Heng glared at her with bloodshot eyes, “Start over? Tell me! How do we start over! It’s all ruined; everything has been destroyed by you all!”

No sooner had Yue Heng finished yelling than he received a call from the official competition, stating that the officials would get involved in this issue and investigate Tianxing Club. If there was any improper conduct in the competition, the club would be disqualified from participating in the next season’s competition.

A look of despair flickered in Yue Heng’s eyes.

He had spent all his money on the club, and he had also placed all his hopes here.

But now…

If even the qualification to compete was revoked,

Then he really would have lost everything.
