Qin Feng stood on the court with his hands behind his back, just smiling and watching Lin Xia and the others messing around.
He wanted to first appear weak to his opponents, raise them up to the sky, and then bring them down heavily.
Speaking of it, he didn’t have any deep-seated hatred with Zhao Kai; he just disliked Zhao Kai’s rich-kid attitude and wanted to teach him a lesson.
After this game ends, he didn’t really expect Zhao Kai to honor the bet.
Just a student, not really qualified to be his opponent anyway.
When it was almost lunchtime, Qin Feng and the others first went to the cafeteria to reward their stomachs.
Lin Xia said frustratedly, “Brother Qin, I just called my dorm mates.
They all made excuses to refuse, no one’s helping us!
It’s all Zhao Kai’s fault; the bastard hinted on the campus network, threatening everyone by saying whoever helps us will be retaliated against!”
Su Xiaowan lowered her head apologetically, “My dorm mates too, they said they didn’t want to mess with Zhao Kai, and told me not to get involved in this mess.”
Lin Nan glared and said, “Look at the kind of friends you both have, only know how to share blessings, not share hardships.
If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll call a few colleagues from the police station to help!”
Qin Feng quickly shook his head and said, “You’re undercover at school now; if you call the police, wouldn’t that expose your identity?”
Lin Nan frowned and said, “Then what should we do?”
Lin Xia sighed while munching on a chicken leg, “Yeah, who can we turn to?”
At this moment, Lin Xia’s phone suddenly rang, displaying an unfamiliar number.
Her eyes sparkled, and she quickly said to Qin Feng, “Brother Qin, could it be Wang Xiaosi calling?
Should I answer?”
Qin Feng said, “Answer it, why worry when I’m here!”
Lin Nan also agreed, “Answer it, you all can investigate this lead first, maybe you’ll really find something out!”
Lin Xia nodded, and after answering the call, a rough voice came from the other side, “Well, finally!
Is Master Qin there with you?
Quickly let him take the call!”
Lin Xia raised an eyebrow and said, “Who are you to be yelling like this?”
The voice inside was anxious and quickly said, “I’m Wang Shengli, you know me.
Didn’t Master Qin say I ran into something unclean?
Turns out he was right!”
“You’re Wang Shengli?”
Lin Xia almost laughed out loud and immediately handed the phone to Qin Feng.
Lin Nan asked curiously, “Who’s Wang Shengli?”
Lin Xia explained, “A senior from our archaeology department, his family runs an antique shop, gave a talk at the school the other day.”
Lin Nan nodded, and then they saw Qin Feng continuously nodding in agreement during the call.
Finally, he instructed, “Come to the school and find me now, I’ll be waiting for you at the basketball court!”
The person on the other end quickly agreed and hung up shortly.
Qin Feng handed the phone back to Lin Xia, smiling gently, “We’ve got enough people for our basketball team now!”
Lin Xia laughed, “That Fatty Wang agreed?”
Qin Feng chuckled and shook his head, “I haven’t mentioned it yet, but he will agree.
He got into some trouble that only I can solve!”
Lin Xia was shocked, “He really ran into something dirty?”
“Something dirty?”
Lin Nan and Su Xiaowan heard them playing off each other and widened their eyes in curiosity.
After their meal, the four quickly returned to the basketball court.
A red Jeep Wrangler was parked nearby.
As they approached, a chubby guy soon got off the Jeep, his face pale as he rushed over and said, “Master Qin, finally you’re here.
Please show mercy, quickly come to my shop and take a look.
I haven’t had a good night’s sleep these past couple of days, being tormented by these things all night!”
Qin Feng saw the blackness in his brows, indicating contamination by something dirty, but not to the extent of being life-threatening.
He patted Fatty Wang’s shoulder reassuringly, “Don’t worry too much, just some little demons and little ghosts, nothing serious.
I had you come here to help me with something first!”
“What do you need help with?
How much do you want?
Just get rid of these things and I’ll give you as much as you want!”
Fatty Wang’s facial fat trembled.
Qin Feng said with a smile, “I don’t want money, I just need your help with a basketball game today!”
“Basketball game?”
Fatty Wang widened his eyes in surprise, “Master Qin, just look at my belly; forget playing basketball, I can’t even run?”
Qin Feng laughed, “Just need you for the numbers, you can stand still and not move if you want!”
Fatty Wang nodded immediately and agreed, “Sure, sure, when does the game start?
We don’t have much time?”
Qin Feng smiled, “Very soon, in half an hour the match will begin.
Don’t worry, win this game, and I’ll go home with you tonight to drive away the spirits!”
Fatty Wang felt slightly comforted, took a deep breath, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Lin Xia laughed at him, “Senior Brother Wang, didn’t you leave resolutely the other day?
Why come back so quickly asking for help?”
Fatty Wang blushed and said awkwardly, “Beauty, don’t tease me.
I didn’t recognize how capable you guys were.
Don’t worry, as long as these dirty things leave my house, the Copper Cauldron you wanted, I’ll give it to you for free!”
Lin Xia pouted with a smile, “That’s more like it!”
The five of them chatted for a while, then, led by Qin Feng, they entered the court.
A huge belly like an airbag, and three school beauties.
The crowd didn’t know what to make of this lineup.
For now, Qin Feng’s physique seemed the best, but how good his basketball skills were remained a question.
They were up against the professional school basketball team, which had once ranked in the CBA.
On the alumni network, someone started a special thread to live stream the event, introducing the players of both teams.
There was even someone hosting bets; if Qin Feng’s team won, the odds offered were ten to one.
If Zhao Kai’s team won, the odds were one to one, meaning betting as much as one would receive.
The spectators were quickly betting fifty here, a hundred there, almost ninety-nine percent betting that Zhao Kai would win.
The bookie briefly felt uneasy inside; he hadn’t expected everyone to hold such low opinions of Qin Feng.
If Zhao Kai really won, he’d lose badly.
But those who love gambling never lack courage.
He had seen Qin Feng’s tricks on the hill last night, feeling confident in him.
So no matter how much others bet on Zhao Kai, he accepted all the bets.
Within just over ten minutes, he gathered funds around a hundred thousand.
If the police knew, he’d be certain to end up in jail.
Qin Feng was thinking of helping Su Xiaowan, so he asked her, “Miss Su, how much money do you have on you?”
Su Xiaowan paused, then honestly replied, “I’ve brought just over eight thousand to pay tuition today.”
Qin Feng smiled, “Put all that money on the bet now, soon you’ll at least have ten times that!”
Su Xiaowan trusted Qin Feng completely and nodded without hesitation, took her eight thousand three hundred to the bookie and handed it all.
The bookie watched Su Xiaowan, letting out a breath as if he’d found both a friend and a fool.
At least if Zhao Kai really won, the compensation would ease slightly.
Lin Nan shook his head and said, “Aren’t you encouraging a good girl to gamble?
What if we lose?”
Qin Feng smiled without open mouth, Fatty Wang immediately said, “Lost is lost, just for fun.
Eight thousand isn’t much, I’ll reimburse the lady if we lose!”
He needed Qin Feng now, so eight thousand or even eighty thousand, he’d pull out without hesitation.
These days had worn him down, he had brought four or five elderly Taoists claiming Maoshan descent to look over his shop, only to scare them away in sheer terror.
Fatty Wang felt helpless, and with a trying attitude he found Qin Feng.
After all, no harm in trying since it didn’t cost.
