Chapter 516: Rose-Ventilation (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Twenty Ventilation (Part 2)

Although he had anticipated this, Shao Jie was still surprised to find himself surrounded by Jiang Weili's "loyal" to the point of foolishness, fans in front of the convenience store shelves in the middle of the night.

During the whole day when DRG was having fun at the team building, the whole story of the LM club and the gambling scheme behind Jiang Weili was spreading like wildfire on social platforms and major trending search lists.

At first, Jiang Weili's fans seemed to be acting spontaneously to protect their rights, but after seeing the police report, their actions gradually turned into self-deceiving, exaggerated and crazy screen-scrolling. With "Jiang Weili" as the center, the storm of verbal abuse spread from the event organizer to every club and even every contestant, and then turned to Shao Jie and DRG, the two unlucky guys who had blatantly stood in opposition to Jiang Weili. They wished they could cut Shao Jie into pieces and strip off his "sanctimonious" "sheepskin" pretending to be righteous.

Shao Jie had been the target of public criticism like a sitting duck the day before. The insults on the Internet that named and implicated his entire clan were enough to make Shao Jie slightly concerned. Apart from the young man who really was so stupid as to form a group to send knives to the police and wait for them to come to his door, most of the time, the nitpicking was harmless and stayed in the virtual network environment. At most, he would just disconnect from the Internet for a week and pretend he didn't see anything.

However, in all likelihood, they felt that Jiang Weili would have a hard time turning the tables after going to the police station. The verbal battles that usually went back and forth escalated unilaterally several times, and he was completely locked and banned by the platform. His extreme fans were so angry that they had nowhere to vent their anger, and they actually thought of intercepting him offline. They squatted in the inconspicuous grass cover next to the DRG base in the middle of the night, and suddenly frightened Shao Jie, who had just received a few words of consideration from Officer Jiang and happily ran to the convenience store to wait for Qing to pick her up from get off work. She staggered, swayed twice, and fell down in front of the shelf.

However, although they were surrounded, there were only a few "ferocious monsters" who came here to argue with Shao Jie - three tall men surrounded Shao Jie, and the other two blocked the door of the convenience store with gritted teeth, leaning crookedly in front of the doorbell that was signaled by the sensor, with their noses raised arrogantly.

The clerk on the night shift at the convenience store was a new face, who probably knew nothing about games or e-sports. He wore headphones and hummed the melody that Shao Jie could occasionally hear from Jiang Heyu. He hardly raised his head since Shao Jie pushed the door open.

However, the ringing of the doorbell was so disturbing that she could no longer bear it. She could only impatiently poke her head out of the warehouse where she was tidying up. She saw someone standing at the door in the way. She frowned, took off her headphones, and raised her finger at them angrily. She used the polite language in the training manual in a bad tone: "Hey - customer, if you are waiting for someone, you can come in. There is a seat over there -"

The clerk gestured with his fingers, then turned around and spread his palms, reluctantly changing to a more polite gesture. She didn't see the stalemate behind the counter at first, but only saw the two unmoved "gods" getting angry. She stepped forward a few steps before she realized that she followed the two people's sight at the door and looked behind the shelf. She was immediately shocked and rushed behind the counter: "What are you doing?! We are connected to the Internet! I called the police?!"

"There's no rush to call the police."

Shao Jie finally came to his senses, patted his butt, stood up, and raised his hand to the clerk apologetically: "How about... wait in the warehouse for a while? I should be able to persuade him to leave——" "What do you mean by leave?! Explain yourself clearly! We all know that you deliberately framed Mr. Jiang in the matter."

Before Shao Jie could finish his words, he was punched on the shoulder. These obviously non-professional fighters didn't have much accuracy, and it was not enough to just randomly hit Shao Jie. They exchanged glances and stepped forward to grab his collar - unfortunately, the height of these two shouting brothers was slightly inferior to Shao Jie, so they had to tiptoe to pull Shao Jie's collar. Feeling that they had lost their momentum, they quickly pulled their hands away and punched Shao Jie again in anger: "I have always felt that there is something wrong with you. Are you returning to DRG just for revenge?!"

"… Whether it's a frame-up or not… He was the one who did all the illegal things, not me. Besides, since you all said that I was seeking revenge, that means you all know what Jiang Weili did to me a few years ago. What's going on here… You came here with a recorder, are you here to ask me something specifically?"

Shao Jie blinked and nodded, signaling the night shift clerk to put his phone away and sneak into the warehouse to make sure no innocent people would be harmed. The warm expression on his face completely collapsed, and he drooped his eyes and glanced at the bulging trouser pockets of the girl opposite him: "The facts of Jiang Weili's case are reported by the police. Instead of looking for me, you might as well go and find out whether the organizers will retain the qualification for the players who were released due to match-fixing and gambling. Maybe it will be useful if he reforms himself in the future..."

The five people who were looking for trouble obviously had no intention of making any sense of the situation. Jiang Weili had never concealed what he had done. The closer his followers were, the more they could see the mistakes that were not convenient to keep in the recorder. However, these people were really keen on covering their ears and stealing the bell, and they tried their best to cover up the ignorant eyes and ears of others. Whenever their plan failed, the extreme verbal curses would quickly escalate into pushing and fighting.

Shao Jie listened to the noisy screams from a high position, rubbing the back of his ears with a little tinnitus. He glanced at the floor-to-ceiling glass of the convenience store, and saw a familiar car passing by from the corner of his eye. The irritability between his eyebrows was swept away immediately - he picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time that was already past midnight, squinting at the red-faced and thick-necked person in front of him, and pressed his hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him pitifully.

"You guys don't look like you're from Sheng'an. How about I book a hotel for you? It's better to have a good night's sleep than to make a big fuss and have to sleep on a hard bench in the police station for the night—"

Shao Jie looked at Jiang Mo distractedly, who seemed to have noticed something and hurried over to find out what was going on. He waved brightly at Officer Jiang, who had squeezed past the two "door gods" and rushed over nervously. He persuaded him for less than two and a half words, and Jiang Mo, who was only a few steps away, suddenly widened his eyes. He took two steps at a time and rushed forward, and directly cut off the arm of the little man who was facing Shao Jie but still had his glasses in his pocket. While he screamed in pain and knelt on the ground, he quickly took out a short-bladed knife that was modified into a ballpoint pen from his pocket, and then reached out to chase after a few "accomplices" who ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, and looked up at Shao Jie, who was a little dumbfounded, and sighed helplessly.

"Are you scared? Bringing a knife here changes the nature of the situation. Call the police first."
