Chapter 940: Chapter 938: A Mom Who Dreams of Getting Rich Every Day
In the third game, the already defeated Wuji was predictably overwhelmed and lost miserably.
In the fourth game, Wuji struggled a bit, clearly not wanting to lose so easily. They showed some strength and almost caused Canglan to overturn, but in the end, Canglan made a comeback and Wuji still lost.
Everyone in Canglan was exhilarated. In fact, it wasn’t easy to defeat Wuji Team completely. Without the coach’s strategy to break their morale first, like a snowball effect, it wouldn’t have been so effortless.
Now with this result, everyone smiled knowingly.
The camera was still on, so they couldn’t be overly arrogant. If nothing unexpected happens, they would become the rising star team and need to pay attention to their image.
Some matters are best kept to oneself. Speaking out would only invite trouble.
So when asked in an interview why they changed their play style today to become so aggressive, seemingly wanting a quick victory,
Jian Mo, with a stern expression, said, "They are strong; we cannot give any opportunity for a comeback."
With his serious demeanor, no one doubted him for now.
After all, Wuji Team is renowned for its strong reputation and stellar performance.
Even though Jian Mo talks a lot in the game and doesn’t seem so cold, no one suspected his words were false.
Ma Xuan quickly chimed in, "If we waited until they recovered, it would be hard to fight, so we had to act fast and give it our all."
God knows how much he held back from bursting into laughter.
The frustration from last year was finally released today.
His teammates probably felt the same; when facing the Wuji Team in the future, they’d do their best to defeat them thoroughly.
After all, their opponents are strong, and they cannot allow even the slightest chance for a comeback!
I don’t know if their morale was shattered, but in subsequent matches, Wuji Team didn’t perform well, ultimately not even finishing as runner-ups or third place.
Canglan Team, without surprise, became the champions of this tournament, truly deserving it.
Among them, Ah Chen received much attention, becoming well-known in the gaming world.
Her in-game name is Canglan丶Chen.
But now, everyone affectionately calls her Coach Chen.
What awaits them are fame and fortune, and they wouldn’t be returning soon; they have some business to attend to.
Even Ah Chen has been invited by several teams to share her insights.
Due to her good image, many business opportunities have also involved her, which delighted Jian Mo and the others immensely.
Zhou Xiang also arranged for people to come over as promised, and both parties collaborated.
During the break, Jian Mo secretly took Ah Chen to a snack street. By the time the others noticed, they were nowhere to be found.
But the four of Ma Xuan were not so idle either; they gained many fans, with people greeting them whenever they went out. From being shy at first to now being accustomed to it.
When they were almost done exploring the snack street, An Shuo Hai called.
He was aware of Canglan’s victory, and whenever he had time, he’d watch the matches. He’s now somewhat of an older fan of eSports.
Recently, Ah Chen has been frequently in contact with An Shuo Hai, and now calling at this time must mean something’s up.
Indeed, once answered, An Shuo Hai’s voice relayed, "Xu Yue ran off with all the investment money and disappeared."
Even though the dreams had foretold it, really hearing the news made An Shuo Hai’s scalp tingle.
These things weren’t detailed in the dream, but now that it’s happening nearby, he witnessed villagers crying out bitterly and cursing Xu Yue, with some elderly cheated out of their savings being hospitalized.
Some were so enraged they jumped into the river, and one even died from the shock.
Every household that invested had several disputes.
While An Shuo Hai sighed, he also felt immensely relieved.
In reality, some cautious people didn’t invest, plus with An Shuo Hai not investing, even if they envied others making money, they could console themselves. Now they’re patting their chests, thankful they weren’t greedy, or Xu Yue would have driven them to financial ruin.
No one expected Xu Yue to be so patient, taking more than half a year to set this trap.
Meanwhile, many people saw returns and inevitably began trusting him.
Some hesitated at first but, seeing no issues later, invested all their savings, even borrowing and selling their properties. Now they’re broke and regretful.
"How is she?" Ah Chen referred to Liang Xuefang, recalling that Liang Xuefang roped in relatives and friends to invest. Now that things have deteriorated, those she convinced must be giving her trouble?
"They say she’s often called in for questioning by many who make trouble for her, with creditors visiting daily," An Shuo Hai said, with a tone unavoidably tinged with regret.
If he hadn’t divorced Liang Xuefang and clearly divided the assets, this issue might have implicated them too.
Even now, An Shuo Hai remained somewhat worried.
"This matter doesn’t concern us. If they contact you, don’t dwell on it. With such issues, those responsible must take accountability. A child like you shouldn’t worry about it."
He had advised countless times before, but Liang Xuefang wouldn’t listen.
He even warned others, but only a handful paid heed.
Now that trouble has arisen, who can they blame? Blame Xu Yue for being vicious, or themselves for being too greedy. How could they assume such good fortune had no risk?
"And dad, if she comes, if the Liang Family comes..." Ah Chen decided to probe. Even though she had some understanding of An Shuo Hai, knowing that while he might pity Liang Xuefang, he’d at most give her a meal and not handle other issues, she still wanted to ask.
An Shuo Hai replied, "They have to endure the consequences of their actions, it’s not up to me to handle."
If circumstances hadn’t changed, his daughter would’ve been the one suffering, and he wouldn’t manage Liang Xuefang’s issues.
"Then there’s nothing to worry about; it’s just about my brother’s side..." Ah Chen said.
By now, An Shuo Hai realized his daughter might have had the same dream; otherwise, she wouldn’t adopt this attitude.
"Don’t worry, he will understand. He’s currently quite busy in college, and family affairs don’t involve him. Even if he could, he wouldn’t be able to handle it."
With An Shuo Hai’s reassurance, Ah Chen said no more.
After hanging up, Ah Chen briefly told Jian Mo about the situation.
Jian Mo was speechless after hearing it—those deceived were truly pitiful yet despicable.
This issue didn’t weigh much on Ah Chen’s mind; she did ask 997 about the whereabouts of Xu Yue and his gang. They can’t let them escape abroad, and she’d have them reported when the time was right.
Days later, Ah Chen and others returned to school.
Even their previously disapproving homeroom teacher Zhang Fengya, who was initially against taking days off for gaming competitions, couldn’t help but take note since the students were paying attention to the tournament. Learning that Ah Chen truly led the team to victory, she was overjoyed.
Only upon understanding the specifics of the tournament did she realize how substantial the prize money was.
