Di.

Bai Ruohai pressed the play button with a solemn expression.

I looked at him and said calmly: "So, don't you have anything to say?"

He didn't speak. He was silent for a long time, with a look of disbelief on his face: "I'm just a little surprised that after so many years of apprenticeship, a high school student who has only met twice will deliver the news. It's interesting."

I nodded: "That's what I want to ask too."

"Okay, actually I don't like using mobile phones. They are not safe." Bai Ruohai returned the phone to me and waved his hand: "Okay, your delivery work is over. If nothing happens, you can leave.

"

I took the phone and was a little surprised: "Now that things have happened, do you still want to play riddles with me?"

He smiled: "Little brother, I don't know if you ever learned an idiom when you were in school, which is called being honest. If you don't make it clear, then I don't have anything to say."

"Are you kidding me? You obviously asked me not to say anything to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Bai Ruohai nodded, found a seat and sat down, took out a few documents from the drawer, crossed his hands, looked at me like that, and said slowly: "What I want to know is not Bai Zhangtian, but you, Xiao Se."

"My parents are divorced, I suffer from domestic violence, I am addicted to e-sports, and I also suffer from severe anxiety."

He looked at a few pieces of information carefully, squinted his eyes in a pretentious manner, and tapped the table with his finger: "Ah, by the way, there is also a very interesting sister."

I sneered: "You have investigated everything clearly, why do you want me to confess?"

Bai Ruohai couldn't deny it: "It's because I know everything about you that I feel something is wrong. In two or three months, how could an Internet-addicted boy on the verge of collapse transform into a genius in such a short period of time?"

Where is the extraordinary e-sports dream chaser?”

I spread my hands and said, "Everyone changes."

"But young people don't, unless you are a veteran who has stepped into society." He looked at me from head to toe again, and touched his white head: "Obviously, you are not."

"I thought you were just an ordinary doctor."

"But I don't think you're just an ordinary young man."

As if he was tired of my vague words, Bai Ruohai pointed it out directly: "Come on, equal exchange, you just need to tell your story, and I will tell you everything about your current situation."

I laughed: "Only children like to listen to stories."

"Returning to the original nature. As I get older, I have seen everything I should have seen. Naturally, I want to hear something different. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Why should I trust you?" I also found a seat and sat face to face with him.

He said with a smile: "Xiao Se, you have to understand that I am not blackmailing you. You can just twist your butt, open the door and walk away. If I really want to know, I just need to randomly put some medicine into the needle, and I'm afraid you won't tell me.

?”

Bai Ruohai squinted his eyes, looking like a kind and kind old man. I stared at him closely, but there was at least half a century of palace hidden in those eyes, which was still too deep for me.

…

"Have you finished speaking?" Bai Ruohai seemed to have not heard enough.

I nodded.

His expression was a bit complicated, but suspicion still dominated the majority.

"If you made up this story, then its development and setting are probably as cliched as my age."

"Truth or untruth is up to me. Belief or not is up to you."

He smiled: "I now somewhat believe that you are in your thirties."

I don’t know if he said this to tease or to lighten the mood, but...

"It's your turn." I crossed my legs, crossed my hands, and changed into the same posture as Bai Ruohai.

"Hey, even if you are thirty years old, you are just a brat in front of me. Okay, then I will tell you." Bai Ruohai put away his smile and said:

"First of all, it's Bai Zhangtian, my younger brother. I'm sure he's dead. Because although we don't communicate often, it's only on the surface. We often communicate in secret through letters."

"The last letter he wrote to me only had two sentences." Bai Ruohai said, taking out a letter from the drawer and handing it to me.

I took the letter. The envelope was a rare black color and the paper was large, but there were only two sentences on it:

【I want to climb mountains,

I ask to cross the sea,

I want to welcome higher praise and greater slander,

More insoluble resentment, and a more fatal blow.]

"poetry?"

"Ai Qing's "Era"."

I am even more confused. Are the older generation so young?

He asked again: "Do you understand anything?"

I shook my head: "I'm not good at reading and appreciating. I'm good at playing games."

Bai Ruohai didn't ask any more questions and continued: "After that, my brother never wrote to me again. I felt something strange, so I sent my apprentice to see what they were doing. As you can see, my brother

The pseudonym was Zhuang Chun, and he was admitted to a large hospital. In the end, he committed suicide by jumping off a building due to mental problems. But I estimate that this matter was eventually reduced to a minor matter. It was nothing more than a few entries in the hospital's accident book, and it was not even published in the newspapers.

"

I guessed: "Because the name of the dead person is Zhuang Chun, and the fake Bai Zhangtian is still alive and well?"

Bai Ruohai sighed: "Who knows? His own granddaughter is kept in the dark. What does he expect my brother who is far away to know?"

"As his brother, since you know something is fishy, ​​why don't you just ask?"

When I asked him this question, his face looked embarrassed and full of vicissitudes of life.

"I'm ashamed to say that my ancestors wanted me to inherit the family business. I was full of ambitions to serve the country, so I went to join the army without authorization. Now except for my biological brother, no one from the Bai family knows me. I guess if I die in the future, there will be no trace of it in the family tree.

It doesn't have my name. But that doesn't matter.

Bai Ruohai handed me another photo: "The man behind all the incidents and the most suspected one is Bai Chongtian."

"The Bai family has a great cause, and the stakes are so many and complicated that I can't explain it clearly at the moment. As for the five million you mentioned, I don't know its purpose. If you want to check, I can help you, but you have to

At least, Bai Chongtian cannot pay too much attention to you."

"you mean……"

"Yes, you are going to Manila, but not to play a game, otherwise you will not be able to get away and you will easily attract attention."

"I see."

I nodded and looked at the photo in my hand:

Bai Chongtian stood with Cheng Qing and others, holding his company's logo in his hand and VG's team emblem beside him. He smiled quite happily, but also quite falsely.

…

"What? You want to quit the game?" Cheng Qing, who was still organizing team uniform matters, was stunned on the spot.

"Yes." I nodded and added: "But not now, but after I finish the Manila qualifiers."

He was even more confused: "You mean, you won't play even if you qualify?"

I nodded again.

"Why? Didn't you fight well? Does anyone else know about this?"

I thought about it and decided not to talk about the surgery for now.

"Some urgent matters have to be dealt with. As for the reason, in order not to affect everyone, I want to talk about it after finishing the qualifiers. I just want to ask, if VGJ.T enters Manila and I can't play mid lane, what will happen then?

Substitute?"

Cheng Qing nodded: "Yes, yes, because VGJ is a change of VGR, so coach Tong Junjie has not been removed from the team lineup yet, but I don't know whether he wants to play or not."
