Chapter 873: The Truth about Eight Years Ago (21)
Song Yuanxi stood before Qiao Lian.
Her eyes were red and she was agitated. She looked like she was going to kill Qiao Lian the next moment.
Qiao Lian looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
She bit her lip and said unhurriedly, “Didn’t you know that when you establish a team club, you need to sign a recruitment contract?”
Qiao Lian nodded and said, “I know.”
Zombie Leader and the members of CQ Team had all signed labour contracts.
Their wages would be paid according to the terms and conditions of the contracts.
And at the time…
Her hands were injured, so she had been preoccupied with the thought that she could no longer play. She had not thought about all of these other matters.
Besides, at the time she had had no knowledge of these things.
Puzzled, she looked at Song Yuanxi as she continued, “And didn’t you know that your sudden withdrawal would incur a heavy penalty for breach of contract?!”
A heavy penalty.
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank immediately.
Song Yuanxi continued, “200 thousand! A penalty of 200 thousand! Did you know how hard my brother and Brother Liangchuan had to work for that money?!”
200 thousand?
Qiao Lian stood up, looking horrified.
She looked at Song Yuanxi and said, “I- I didn’t know about this at all…”
“Of course you had no idea! Because my brother and Brother Liangchuan could not bear to tell you! You were so precious to them! How could they bear to put you in a difficult position because of the 200 thousand?”
Song Yuanxi laughed bitterly. By now, tears were streaming down her face. “Then, to raise this money within the shortest time possible, my brother and Brother Liangchuan started to play online games day and night without rest for a whole week, to generate income from testing the games. It was then that they barely pooled enough money together to pay the penalty.”
“They didn’t have much rest for a week and were not focused. When they were crossing the street, Brother Liangchuan did not notice a car approaching at a high speed.”
“But my brother, he suddenly noticed, and shoved Brother Liangchuan out of the way! And my brother was hit by the car.”
At this point, Song Yuanxi was choking on her tears and spoke with difficulty.
She looked at Qiao Lian with hatred in her eyes and continued, “I know that 200 thousand may be nothing to you! But how could you play with people like that? The team club had been your suggestion, so why didn’t you see it through?! Why did you back out?! If it weren’t for you, my brother would be well and alive. You killed my brother!”
Sob.
Her crying and whimpering fell hard on Qiao Lian’s ears.
As though it was a loud crack of thunder.
She had cracked her head over this and pursued the truth for so long, but never had she expected such an outcome.
She had thought that Soul Fighter’s death had had nothing to do with her.
She had thought that all of this must have been some sort of misunderstanding.
But she never could have imagined that it was a series of things that had gone this wrong.
Her legs felt weak and her mind went blank.
How had it turned out this way?
Song Yuanxi spoke again before Qiao Lian could recover from her daze, “Now you know why I hate you so much. My brother and Brother Liangchuan had been nothing but good to you! Why did you betray them? How could you bear to betray them?”
