Chapter 185: Identical Phones (2/2)
“That’s good. If you still want to eat it again, just call me. We will go out and eat again!” Wang Shu said. Suddenly, she thought of what if I wouldn’t call her, so she added, “If I want to eat again, I will call you as well!”
“Understood!” I didn’t care about it too much and simply nodded.
The car arrived before the hotel I was staying at, but I didn’t feel relieved letting Wang Shu drive back when it was already so late. Although there were still many people on the street, who knew what might happen.
“Let’s do it like this, we will drive where you live first. I will take a taxi and return!” I said to Wang Shu.
“It’s alright!” As Wang Shu saw my care for her, she was very happy, but she still refused, “You should go up quickly, I will call you as soon as I return home!” Saying this, Wang Shu also made a phone call gesture. {TL Note: }
I nodded and didn’t insist on the matter anymore. After all, we were still in a famous city in Japan. There were a lot of people and many shops on both sides of the street still open. The neon lights were shining all around.
I watched Wang Shu leave and then entered the hotel. Just as I entered the hotel, I saw a person coming over to me.
“Hello, sir. Might you be Student Liu Lei!” A middle-aged man came over and said to me in Chinese.
“Yes. Who might you be?” I looked towards the man before me with a puzzled expression. I don’t seem to know someone like him.
“Hello, I am a staff member from the Tournament Organizers. Please follow me, we should sit down and talk!” The middle-aged man pointed towards a sofa not far away.
“Alright!” I nodded. Although I couldn’t figure out what they wanted from me, they wouldn’t be planning any harm towards me. Moreover, even if he did have any evil thoughts regarding me, he wouldn’t dare do anything inside the hotel.
The middle-aged man and I sat on the sofa. The man asked the waiter for two drinks. Handing one of the drinks to me, he said to me, “Let me introduce myself. I am Gao Yajun, the CEO of the University Student Exchange Sparring Tournament!”
“Oh, hello!” I said politely. I still didn’t know what he wanted from me though.
“Well, the matter is like this. Yesterday, the match you had with Yang Wei, I studied it…” Before Gao Yajun could finish his words, he was interrupted by me.
“Mr. Gao, I don’t want to explain or discuss anything regarding yesterday’s match. My qualifications have already been revoked, therefore, I would prefer you not to disturb me regarding it again!” I said without any politeness. The matter between me and Yang Wei was now a family matter, I didn’t want any outsiders butting in my private business.
“Studen Liu Lei, that was our fault, so I would like to apologize to you!” Gao Yajun’s words stunned me for a moment. As I listened to him, he said, “We have investigated the matter clearly. The match between you and Yang Wei was fixed beforehand by a member of our staff who received a bribe from Yang Wei. We have already fired that staff member, so I want to apologize to you. It was a negligence on our part!”
“So that’s what happened! I was wondering why I had to compete even when all matches had ended!” I was enlightened by his words.
“Exactly. Therefore, Student Liu Lei, your qualifications to participate have already been restored. You can attend the tournament tomorrow!” Gao Yajun said.
“Oh… About that, I don’t want to compete in the match anymore.” I wasn’t really interested in the tournament, and only participated because of Ding Wenfeng, so I refused the invitation.
“Why? I watched the video recording of your match and saw how Yang Wei tried to stab you with a dagger first. So, the accident has nothing to do with you, and you can participate in the competition without needing to take any responsibility. With your skills, getting a pretty high ranking won’t be an issue!” Gao Yajun said to me.
