Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 191: Provoked a Big Boss Countless Times More Terrifying Than Yang Fei

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qin Ran had unilaterally announced her retirement many years ago.

However, OST never terminated her contract. When the coaches transferred money every month, they would also pay part of the basic salary to a certain card.

The coach froze for a moment after hearing Qin Ran before he returned to his senses and replied, “Yes! The Yunguang Consortium released new ones every year!”

When they released the team uniforms every year, they would give an extra set.

The first game was about to start, but the coach did not know how Qin Ran was after not training for so long.

Most importantly, Qin Ran had never trained with the other players.

This game required both personal operation and team cooperation. After a wave of card attacks, if the others did not keep up, and the enemy’s blood was saved by the auxiliary card, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Since Yang Fei couldn’t play and had given the terrible mess to Qin Ran, everyone would be delightedly surprised if they won. But if they lost, the pressure on Qin Ran and the accusations of netizens would be unimaginable...

The coach had been pleasantly surprised, but now, his heart was heavy again. He didn’t want Qin Ran to carry the burden and blame of this matter.

Yang Fei had found Qin Ran because he believed in her strength.

The coach thought for a while and decided to forget about it for the moment. Compared to Qin Ran, he was even more reluctant to let Yan play, so he turned and asked her, “Did you have an account before? Do I need to give you another account?”

The OST team account was a professional account and had a complete card set except for the three God cards.

However, the professional players liked to use their own accounts in the games. Yi Jiming and Yang Fei both used the account they had used to enter the arena last time.

Qin Ran leaned on the back of the chair and shook her head. “No, I will use my own account.”

“Then...” The coach originally wanted Qin Ran to use the team’s account. After all, the team had several professional accounts that were equipped with the God cards. “That’s fine too. I will help you get the team uniform and inform the others.”

The coach said nothing more and opened the door directly.

**

The lounge for the other OST members was bigger than Yang Fei’s personal lounge.

The coach walked directly to his position and pulled out a uniform.

Yang Fei had suddenly asked him to bring it when he came out this afternoon. At that time, the coach had thought that Yang Fei’s hand was only a small matter, so he had taken it casually despite feeling strange about it.

Now that he thought about it, Yang Fei’s physical condition was definitely not good at that time.

Yan sat at the innermost corner with a cigarette in his hand.

He looked down on his Weibo.

The hot topics were on today’s hegemony contention between Country H’s and Country Flower’s number one members.

[It’s time to watch my extremely handsome Sun God again!]

[Do they even need to compete? The result is already obvious. It will end after Sun God comes out.]

[...] There were countless similar comments.

Yan scrolled through it for a long time, sneering.

Look forward to it, Sun God won’t even be playing today!

He was originally a celebrity in another team and had been well-known in the domestic eSports industry. He had surpassed many members in Team OST, except Yi Jiming and Yang Fei.

However, he was always with the young trainees. Even after he played in the games, everyone could only see Yang Fei’s efforts.

Almost nobody focused on his nearly explosive output.

How could Yan, who had been held up by the small team previously, possibly bear this?

Today, he just wanted to prove that he could stand at the same height as Yang Fei. Without Yang Fei, he could still bring OST to glory!

His eyes were unscrupulous as he looked at the comments with a sneer. Then, he turned off his Weibo and raised his chin towards the coach.

The drug he had given him should have fully taken effect by now.

The coach always explained the cards commonly used by the WAT team to the players in Yang Fei’s lounge.

Now that he suddenly came here, Yan did not think much of it. He thought it must be because Yang Fei had a problem and the coach was here to find him to replace Yang Fei.

Yan thought with a sneer at how the coach had said last night that he would rather use a newcomer who had never played in a competition before than use him.

Now, even if the coach begged him, he would still not agree easily.

Yan kept thinking the coach would come to persuade him, but the coach just took a uniform from his bag and left without even glancing at him.

Yan was calm at first, but when he saw that the coach went out with the uniform without saying a single word to him, he couldn’t sit still anymore.

“Coach.” Yan stood up and said with a smile, “The game is starting in a little more than half an hour, are Yi Jiming and the rest ready?”

The coach paused.

Yang Fei and Qin Ran did not tell the coach about their suspicion.

The coach thought it was Yang Fei’s own physical problem, so he narrowed his eyes slightly at Yan’s implicit sentence.

He turned around unpredictably and said in a calm voice, “They’re ready.”

Yan looked stiff for a moment and could not believe it. Although it was only for a short moment, the coach still noticed this and his expression turned solemn.

He glanced at Yan and turned directly to leave.

Behind him, Yan clasped his fingers together and lowered his eyebrows, his eyes sinister.

If the coach didn’t find a substitute, did that mean Yang Fei was fine?

Were the drugs that could temporarily prevent Yang Fei from playing fake?

The coach didn’t bother about Yan and went out to inform the officials.

They changed Yang Fei’s name to Qin Ran’s.

“Are you sure you want to replace Sun God?” The staff was also a fan of OST and was shocked to hear this.

How would they play the game without Yang Fei?

The opponent was second in the finals and was not any other ordinary team.

“Coach, you have to think carefully!” he said quickly.

The coach shook his head. “Just do it. And don’t say anything about it.”

If the fans knew about Yang Fei in advance, they might attack as a group. The coach was afraid that Qin Ran wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure then.

**

After solving these things, the coach went to Yang Fei’s lounge to find Qin Ran and hand her the uniform. “Try it on and see if it’s the right size.”

The uniforms were changed every year according to the members’ sizes.

The black uniform had the white letters “OST” printed on the sleeves.

The coach didn’t know if the uniforms prepared yearly for Qin Ran had changed, so he was afraid it would be too big.

The whole competition venue had the heater turned on, so Qin Ran had already taken off her jacket when she came in. She took the uniform and put it on herself casually.

Cheng Juan leaned on the side to watch her put on the team uniform slowly. He could tell at first glance that it was clearly tailored to her size.

He couldn’t help but reach out to knock on the table casually, his delicate eyebrow slightly raised. How was it so suitable?

The coach was also stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect the uniform to suit Qin Ran so much even though she had not come for three years.

“Would you like to run through practice first?” Now that it was half an hour before the game, the coach looked at the five people and coughed.

In this team of five people, Xiao Yu had never played officially before, and Qin Ran had never cooperated with the other players.

The coach was full of worry.

Yi Jiming was using his mobile phone and said without looking up, “Coach, we’re about to play, it will be too late and it will affect our mentality. You should just let God Qin replace Sun God’s position in the team and there will be no need to worry about other things.”

Yi Jiming was also an old player, so seeing how trusting, unworried, and even eager he was, the coach momentarily relaxed.

He nodded. “Okay.”

Ten minutes later, the two teams of the first game finished.

The coach took Qin Ran’s team to the waiting area.

Qin Ran took a black mask from Yang Fei’s seat and put it on.

“This is that... Yang Fei’s?” Cheng Juan raised his hand and inadvertently nodded towards the table with an eyebrow raised at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran put on her mask and said vaguely, “Yeah... his position should be here?”

Cheng Juan nodded and glanced at the mask lightly. After thinking about it, he still didn’t ask if Yang Fei had ever worn this mask before.

He lowered his head and walked behind Qin Ran quietly.

Qin Ran had to go to the waiting area, so he, Lu Zhaoying, and Cheng Mu went to the auditorium.

Lu Zhaoying put his chin down and lowered his voice to ask Cheng Juan, “Master Juan, how did Qin Ran become Sun God’s teammate? Will she have any problems playing? She only knows how to use the auxiliary cards, does she not? Xiao Yu is the one playing the auxiliary cards...”

Lu Zhaoying, like the coach, was worried that netizens on the Internet would influence Qin Ran negatively.

He was different from Cheng Juan and the others—he knew that the netizens would push the blame if the team lost.

If they lost this time, Qin Ran would be scolded the worst...

However, Cheng Juan didn’t react to him and still looked rather indifferent.

He was even a little cold.

Qin Ran had already followed the coach to the waiting area. Cheng Juan stood in the passage and stared at Qin Ran’s back for a long while before leaving.

WAT was the best team in Country H and the second-best team in Asia.

The officials would originally not arrange the first team to compete against the second in the quarterfinals, but WAT had manipulated the operation under-the-table.

They wanted to crush the undefeated mythical OST in the quarterfinals.

Their coach was talking to a man with a cap on his head. “Are you sure you saw Yang Fei leave?”

“Yes, OST’s coach looked like he was in a bad mental state.”

“It looks like Yan really took action. He’s really a fool, but that’s a good thing.” The coach from Team WAT took a puff from his cigarette and pulled out a stack of money for the man with a smile. “Without Yang Fei, they’re only relying on Yi Jiming, Yan, and a newcomer who has never even played officially before. Yet, they still want to compete with our Lung? They won’t even be able to enter the semifinals this time!”

The man took the money and chuckled loudly.

Lung was WAT’s trump card and had a status similar to that of Yang Fei in Country H.

But he was not as popular.

In the past three years, WAT could place second as long as they encountered OST in a game.

It was not that the people from WAT had never thought of buying people from OST to play fake matches and lose on purpose, it was just that it simply never worked. Even if they offered a high price, none of them were sold on it.

Finally, Yan had been the breakthrough point.

After giving the money, Team WAT’s coach went to their lounge and called his players to the waiting area.

The two teams played almost in tandem.

They happened to bump into Qin Ran and Yi Jiming in the passageway.

Lung also saw them. He glanced lightly at OST’s teammates and frowned when he saw that Yang Fei was not among them.

“Where is Yang Fei?” He asked OST’s coach in unskilled Chinese.

Coach OST explained it skillfully without changing his expression. “He has something and will not be here for now.”

Yang Fei was the number one player in the current Kyushu Tour Competition and every professional player, including Lung, wanted to defeat him. Hence, Lung frowned now that Yang Fei was not here.

The two teams entered the stadium. Lung thought it was strange, but WAT’s coach frowned instead.

He indeed did not see Yang Fei in OST, but unexpectedly, he did not see Yan either.

He only saw a new woman. She was not the first female player in OST, so it was not strange.

They only felt strange that Yan was not there.

The man who just took the money whispered next to him, “They probably saw Yan drugging him, so they did not use him.”

WAT’s coach nodded and thought this made sense.

“What a pity.” He looked at OST’s members with an unpredictable smile. “They wouldn’t lose so badly if Yan had played, but now they have brought two unknown newcomers...”

In order to make OST lose and not play against Yang Fei, they had devised so many things and put in so much effort.

Their design had only been targeted at Yang Fei this time.

Yang Fei couldn’t play, but they had provoked a big boss who was countless times more terrifying than Yang Fei.

**

The intermission ended.

It was the second game between OST and WAT.

Out of concern for the game’s rhythm and Qin Ran’s mentality, OST did not announce the temporary replacement of Yang Fei.

The fans present were all shouting “Sun God”.

The audience waiting for the live broadcast also waited for Yang Fei to appear.

The host smiled and spoke into the microphone, “Now, we have the team that you most look forward to—Team OST!”

Applause sounded like thunder.

OST’s members appeared one by one, from Yi Jiming to the other two players, and then to Xiao Yu.

The audience waiting to see Yang Fei began to get impatient and called “Sun God” even louder. historical

The last person came out immediately behind Xiao Yu.

She wore a mask and a well-fitted OST uniform, but her face was hidden and only her pair of cold and proud eyes were revealed.

It was an unknown female member.

The people sitting in the Internet cafes or in their dorms or homes all exploded.

“I have seen Xiao Yu in Yi Jiming’s Weibo before, but who is that person behind?”

“Where’s Sun God? Where’s Sun God? We want to see Sun God!”

“What’s going on with Team OST? How can they compete without Sun God?”
