Red Wen, born in the 00s: Rectifying the King's Canyon

Chapter 457 Angels and Demons

"No... there's nothing wrong."

Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks, his throat bobbed, and he hurriedly shook his head.

He truly hadn't expected that a single phone call from Gu Lin'an would summon this important figure.

A higher-ranking official can crush you; the person on the other end of the phone could crush your ashes into a bear-shaped biscuit.

Gu Lin'an laughed and said, "Not going to cause me any trouble?"

He reached out to interrupt the former, retaliating in kind: "You just need to answer, either look or don't look."

"No... I'm not looking anymore."

"If you're not going to look for me anymore, then get lost."

"Okay, I'll get out of here, I'll get out of here."

He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked out of the lounge, ignoring Qinglong completely.

Qinglong stood there dumbfounded, like a fool.

What just happened? You only received a phone call, why are you so scared?

Qinglong was completely bewildered. He glared at Gu Lin'an fiercely and followed after him eagerly.

"Tch, I despise people like that the most. Go ahead and keep yelling if you dare," Changsheng shouted.

Gu Lin'an said, "Ignore these kinds of people, let's go."

"I'm going to treat you guys to a really good meal today."

“Zun Du is fake Du,” Chang Sheng exclaimed excitedly.

"Of course, it's my treat, Coach Milk Tea will pay."

The milk tea coach said, "Why should I pay for it?"

"The last time you treated us, it was Qinglong who paid for it."

"You're going to have to spend money this time, aren't you?"

“Exactly, I think Brother An is right.” Changsheng chuckled. Last time, the milk tea coach skipped out on the bill, and the group was really upset.

This time, they'll drag the milk tea coach to the hotel.

Seeing that the group had made their decision, Coach Milk Tea hurriedly left the lounge.

"What are you doing, Milk Tea Coach? Are you trying to run away?"

Zhong Yi and Chang Sheng hurriedly stopped him, but Coach Milk Tea shouted, "Let me go, I'm looking for Qinglong..."

"Coach Milk Tea, what do you want with Qinglong?"

“I was looking for the guy next to Qinglong, and I offended the old leader. I think he must be terrified.”

“I asked him to treat us to a meal, and I’ll put in a good word for him.”

Gu Lin'an was speechless. "Milk Tea Coach, is it really that big of a deal? It's just the cost of a meal."

"Sister Feifei pays you so much money every month."

But believe it or not, if the milk tea coach were to ask someone from the official organization to treat him to a meal, he would definitely do so to make amends.

You're really clever, kid.

"So depressing, so depressing."

"It really hurts to spend so much money," the milk tea coach said, her voice trembling with tears.

……

On the other side, Qinglong caught up with the person in front and hurriedly said, "Brother Li, don't go! What happened?"

The man called Brother Li gets furious whenever he sees Qinglong.

Because of Qinglong, he almost offended a powerful figure.

"Who's your brother? That's your brother. Don't talk nonsense."

Qinglong asked curiously, "Brother Li, who's on the other end of the phone? Your boss?"

"That's alright, our boss knows your supervisor."

What leader? The person on the other end of the phone was his superior's superior's superior. He's really having a terrible day. No wonder his eyelids keep twitching.

If things go wrong, I might lose my job.

He glared at Qinglong fiercely, "If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. The money will be transferred to your account tomorrow, and we shouldn't contact each other again."

He walked forward, then, as if remembering something, turned back to look at Qinglong and said, "We've known each other for a while, so don't blame me for not warning you."

"Stop using underhanded tricks, kid. Do you know who's backing Gu Lin'an?"

"Who?"

"To put it simply, once Gu Lin'an discovers even the slightest mistake you've made, all he has to do is tell his godfather, and you can forget about ever playing esports again."

"Even if it's my boss, or my boss's boss, they can't save you."

Qinglong was truly shocked this time. When did Gu Lin'an get to know such a big shot?

From Li Ge's eyes, he could tell that the words were not meant to intimidate him; they were genuine.

After reminding Qinglong, Brother Li left, muttering to himself, "Damn it, today is really unlucky."

"I didn't get to eat any mutton, but I got into a lot of trouble."

Qinglong watched his retreating figure, carefully recalling when Gu Lin'an had come to know such a powerful figure.

He recalled carefully and remembered that Gu Lin'an called the person on the phone his godfather.

“Godfather… Godfather.” Qinglong chewed on these two words repeatedly. He felt that Gu Lin’an had said something similar somewhere before.

"where."

It must have been recent, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered the word so clearly.

Since it's recent, the most recent one was when he went to mock Gu Lin'an.

"Could it be..."

Qinglong's head buzzed as he thought of the old man.

"Damn, it looks like that person!"

Qinglong clearly remembered that Gu Lin'an and the others fawned over the old man.

"If that old man is as Brother Li described... damn it, I feel like I spoke ill of him to his face."

Qinglong's face turned ashen instantly, and he felt a wave of fear wash over him.

"No wonder Gu Lin'an told me I was in trouble back then."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Damn, that kid's really bad, he didn't even tell me!"

"I'll f*** yourself!" Azure Dragon roared in anger.

"He should have forgotten what I said to him, after all, so much time has passed," Qinglong said guiltily.

"He probably forgot. At his age, forgetfulness is normal."

At this moment, two figures appeared beside the Azure Dragon's head: one with a halo and the other with horns.

One of these two Gu Lin'an was a conservative, and the other was a radical.

The radical Gu Lin'an sneered, "Hahaha, you're in trouble, you're in big trouble!"

"How could his former leader not remember? He remembers it very clearly."

"He was just on the phone talking to me about how to punish you, kid."

"You little rascal, you're so spicy!"

As for Gu Lin'an, a conservative, he believed that the radicals were too conservative.

"I have a feeling that the old boss might already be collecting evidence of your gambling, and once he finds it, he'll ban you from the competition."

"I advise you to stop now, Ah Zu, everyone outside is after you."

"Think about it, if you're really banned and Gu Lin'an wins the Silver Dragon Cup, how will he mock you?"

"They'll probably release a photoshopped image of you and spread it all over the internet."

"I've already thought of what he'll say. He'll definitely say, 'What a pity, Qinglong has once again missed out on the Silver Dragon Cup.'"

"To avoid any regrets, let's Photoshop a picture."

"Tell me, won't you feel awkward then?"

"I'm so embarrassed for you."

Looking at the two Gu Lin'an beside him, Qinglong cursed inwardly, "Shouldn't angels say nice things? Damn it, as long as you're associated with Gu Lin'an, there's no good deal!"
