Chapter 197: Chapter 174 Theft<div>


    This time, Ye Xiao wasn’t particrly worried.


    She believed that Third Brother would definitely have everything well arranged.


    In the book, Third Brother lost because he trusted Tong Simeng too much.


    Now that things had developed to this point, if Tong Simeng could still steal the data, it would really be unbelievable.


    Third Brother wanted fairpetition, so no matter win or lose, he was prepared to ept the result.


    As long as there was no subsequent nder or smearing, even if he lost, Ye Xiao believed that Ye Zhaoyu would only be more passionate about fighting for the championship in the next match.<div>


    Isn’t this the charm of eSports after all?


    Of course. This time, Tong Simeng wouldn’t be able to smear Ye Zhaoyu either.


    After the semi-finals, there was about half a month of reorganization period.


    Tong Simeng returned to the TC Club, but things were different from before where she was met with enthusiasm.


    This time upon her return, she clearly felt that she was being ostracized by everyone.


    Tong Simeng couldn’t help feeling a bit sad.


    She had always thought her poprity was due to her own merits.


    But now.


    Just because she had fallen out with Ye Zhaoyu, did that mean her former friends also ignored her?


    Was their previously good rtionship just because of Ye Zhaoyu?


    No, that couldn’t be possible!


    Tong Simeng refused to believe that possibility, thinking that it must be Ye Zhaoyu who had threatened or enticed everyone behind the scenes to create such a scene.<div>


    Not only was Ye Zhaoyu unreasonable towards her, but he also unexpectedly benched the midner who had just helped the team win the semi-finals, opting instead to go into closed-door training with the substitute midner.


    Luckily she had recognized Ye Zhaoyu’s true colors in time.


    Otherwise.


    The thought that she almost spent her life with such a man made her feel sick to her stomach.


    Tong Simeng found nopany in the club, except for Su Fan, the demoted midner, who was the only one she could talk to.


    On the other side.


    Yue Heng seemed to be more anxious, constantly sending messages asking her to somehow get hold of the data.


    Thinking about how anxious Yue Heng was, all out of a desire to avenge her, warmed Tong Simeng’s heart.


    Now that she couldn’t see Ye Zhaoyu in person, Tong Simeng could only try hard toe up with a n on her own.


    She knew. Ye Zhaoyu had a safe where he habitually kept the most valuable information.


    If there were any core secrets, they would likely be in that safe.


    The safe was probably in Ye Zhaoyu’s own room.<div>


    That area was for yers’ amodation, and she, a girl, couldn’t enter.


    Tong Simeng then conspired with Su Fan, who managed to get the safe out.


    Meanwhile, she tried hard to guess the password.


    Atst.


    Tong Simeng opened the safe with the date of their first meeting.


    Su Fan managed to return the safe without anyone noticing, while Tong Simeng hurried away with a USB drive.


    The data loss would probably be discovered soon, so she couldn’t stay any longer.


    Tong Simeng actually managed to get her hands on the data.


    Yue Heng was naturally overjoyed.


    He summoned the core members and coach of the team, ready to have them seriously study it.


    However.


    When they opened the USB drive, they found it contained only a link.<div>


    Upon clicking the link, they discovered a download was required.


    Yue Heng started to feel that something wasn’t right, but he still bravely downloaded it.


    The group sat in the meeting room, staring at each other, waiting for over an hour.


    They had previously tasted the sweetness of knowing the tactics in advance, and although they thought it strange to download for so long, they still patiently waited.


    Finally, the data was fully downloaded.


    It turned out to be video data.


    Yue Heng opened it with some anticipation.


    A smile also appeared on Tong Simeng’s face.


    With this data, they would definitely be able to defeat Tianxing Club. By then, not only would Ye Zhaoyu be taught a lesson, but she would also be credited with a great contribution, and her rtionship with Yue Heng would naturally face less obstruction.


    The more Tong Simeng thought about it, the smarter she felt she was.


    The next moment.


    The video began to y.<div>


    The catchy music starteding through.


    “Cbash Brothers, Cbash Brothers, seven flowers on a single vine!”


    Tong Simeng looked up in rm.


    What the hell, where is the core information? This bunch, they’re all Cbash Brothers videos?


    Yue Heng quickly checked the other videos and found they were all different versions of Cbash Brothers.


    His face turned dark immediately.


    Ye Zhaoyu! What a Ye Zhaoyu!


    He quickly turned off the video, inadvertently ncing at Tong Simeng.


    Tong Simeng was somewhat panicked, and she blurted out subconsciously, “Yue Heng, I… I didn’t know! It was Ye Zhaoyu who put it in the safe, the contents previously stored there were our most valuable information.”


    Tong Simeng grew increasingly flustered.


    The information she’d obtained through such difficulties turned out to be just Cbash Brothers! How could she face this, and also, it seemed to prove…


    Yue Heng said coldly, “Ye Zhaoyu has discovered it already.”<div>


    Tong Simeng pursed her lips involuntarily.


    Yeah.


    Ye Zhaoyu must have already realized.


    This was simply a trap set especially for her.


    Did he know all along that she would try to steal it?


    In that case, he might as well have left nothing at all, yet he chose to leave a video meant to humiliate her!


    The years she had spent with him, all misspent!


    Tong Simeng said somewhat helplessly, “I didn’t know, I really didn’t know…”


    But Yue Heng was in no mood tofort her now. He said evenly, “Simeng, step outside, we have matters to discuss.”


    It was the first time Yue Heng had spoken to her in such an indifferent tone, and Tong Simeng couldn’t help feeling wronged.


    Her eyes began to redden, and she got up and ran out.


    She thought.


    She made it so obvious, Yue Heng would certainlye after her.


    However.


    She only heard Yue Heng’s indifferent voice, “Close the door behind you.”


    The conference room door closed.


    Bang!


    A hint of bewilderment shed in Tong Simeng’s eyes.


    Yue Heng… was he guarding against her?


    Ye Zhaoyu had never guarded against her in these ways before.


    Tong Simeng felt even more wronged.


    But now she had nowhere to go, and no matter how wronged, she could only swallow her bitterness.


    Inside the conference room.


    Yue Heng’s expression was grim.


    “Ye Zhaoyu must have discovered it already, otherwise, he wouldn’t have benched his main midner first, and then deliberately taunt us with this USB! But in the end, he’s just too green, only resorting to such tedious tactics. If he had put some fake strategy information on this USB, we might have been deceived and spent precious time studying that false information. Now, it’s just some Cbash Brothers videos, which is rather fortunate.”


    At least, they wouldn’t waste time studying Cbash Brothers!


    A hint of mockery shed in Yue Heng’s eyes.


    Ye Xiao watched Yue Heng’s thought process and found itughable.


    Ye Zhaoyu hadn’t thought of this method, had he?


    He simply disdained it.


    He wanted to defend the fairness and justice in his heart.


    But who would have thought that to some people, this was nothing but foolishness.


    In Ye Xiao’s mind.


    This time, Ye Zhaoyu had already won.


    And Yue Heng, no matter the oue of the match, he had, in essence, already conceded defeat to Ye Zhaoyu.


    Otherwise, why would he be so desperate to only seek such underhanded ways?


    In his mind, the Tianxing Club was no match for TC Club, and this mentality would also affect their yers.


    Born with a disadvantage, such a team could only win temporarily, never permanently.
