Chapter 248 The Chef Hero Angrily Overturns the Corrupt Whistleblower's Office, The Clown Laughs as He Cuts Down the Three-Star Flag

A South Korean live stream.

Director Park Chang-nam frowned as he watched the live stream's popularity.

"What's going on? The match is about to start, why are there fewer viewers than during the group stage?!"

Looking at the number of viewers, the director was completely baffled.

This data is absolutely abnormal!

Keep in mind, this is the semi-final of the World Championship!
This is a direct clash between the top-seeded teams from China and South Korea, and the loser will be eliminated!
This is a match featuring Zhou Li, the controversial figure at the center of the controversy!
How could their stats be even lower than in the usual group stage?!
Director Park Chang-nam would rather suspect that their computer was malfunctioning than believe that no one was watching today's game.

The assistant beside him also looked very puzzled and tentatively asked:

"Perhaps everyone thinks SSB can't beat WE.A, so they simply stop watching?"

"Damn it!" Park Chang-nam slammed the manuscript in his hand onto his assistant's head. "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?!"

The assistant looked very aggrieved and was about to speak when Park Chang-nam impatiently interrupted her:
"I wasn't asking for your opinion! Now get your ass to check the backend data! There must be something wrong with it! Don't come back to me until you find the problem!"

The assistant said "oh" and obediently turned and left, while Park Chang-nam grabbed his hair in frustration.

It's worth noting that this match garnered a tremendous amount of attention before it even started!

Many netizens even likened today's China-South Korea match to "a battle in which the Republic of Korea stakes its national destiny."

If Samsung Blue loses today's match, then esports in South Korea may be doomed!
In the current situation, Samsung Blue is no longer fighting solely for the glory of the club.

On their shoulders also lie the earnest hopes of the people of the Republic of Korea.

There's no way around it; Zhou Li's reputation in South Korea is just too great right now.

Especially after he made the outrageous move of "participating in a StarCraft competition the day before the semi-finals, successfully defeating a South Korean player to win the championship trophy, and even pursuing a beautiful South Korean host on the spot."

Whether out of anger, fear, panic, or some other emotion, Zhou Li's name has long since spread beyond the Korean e-sports circle, becoming a figure boycotted by the entire Republic of Korea.

Therefore, the statement "a war in which the Republic of Korea stakes its national destiny" is not just alarmist talk.

It was foreseeable that this match had already attracted the attention of countless people outside the esports circle before it even started.

If Samsung Blue can win today's match and bring glory to our country, then Korean esports will reach a new level and take another step forward.

However, if they lose the game, the outcome is also obvious.

Esports has always been a key industry supported by South Korea, but now it has become the main reason why South Koreans are repeatedly ridiculed around the world. The so-called vigorous development of esports will only become a laughing stock on the world stage.

In conclusion, Park Chang-nam believes that today's match will be extremely popular, and may even surpass the highest number of viewers in history.

However, he never expected that with less than ten minutes left before the match, there were even fewer people in the live stream than before.

Park Chang-nam absolutely refused to believe that no one was watching today's game, so he believed there must be something wrong with the data.

However, this only made Park Chang-nam feel even more overwhelmed!
If any live broadcast mishap were to occur during such an important match today, Park Chang-nam doesn't even want to think about how he could continue working in this industry afterward.

With the match about to begin, Park Chang-nam was about to head out to find the technical staff to inquire about the details when his assistant, who had just left, returned.

This enraged Park Chang-nam.

This little brat, I sent him to check the backend data, and he came back in less than two minutes!
What can you do in two minutes?
He takes more than two minutes to urinate.

"West Eight Colors Cover!"

Just as Park Chang-nam was about to unleash a torrent of curses, his assistant's face lit up with joy.

"I know why our live stream is empty! It's because everyone's watching Zhou Li's live stream!"

Park Chang-nam was stunned for a moment, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face, before he inexplicably laughed.

"You mean... Zhou Li is live-streaming?"

"Yes!"

The assistant nodded solemnly, like a Japanese person.

"Zhou Li is live on Twitter!"

Park Chang-nam's face turned bright red, clearly his blood pressure had spiked.

He pointed at the monitor in front of him and roared:

"If Zhou Li is live-streaming, then who is this person sitting in front of the computer right now? Could it be his brother, Zhou Heiya?!"

Park Chang-nam's mocking glare clearly did nothing to rouse his assistant, whom he considered utterly absurd.

The assistant paused for a moment, then suddenly realized and said:
"So Zhou Li really does have an older brother named Zhou Heiya! I thought they were the same person!"

"Damn it!" Park Chang-nam shouted, speechless with anger, "Are you out of your mind?! How can there be two people who look exactly alike?! This person is Zhou Li!"

The assistant paused for a moment, then murmured:
"Yes, you're right! But I can see Zhou Li is indeed live-streaming!"

As he spoke, he turned his phone around.

Park Chang-nam took a closer look and indeed saw that Zhou Li's Twitter account was live streaming. However, the content of the live stream looked like it was in the lobby of a hotel, and there was a lot of noise, like people were arguing.

This caused his brain to freeze for a few seconds, and his gaze involuntarily shifted between the monitor and his phone screen.

If Zhou Li is live-streaming on Twitter, then who is the person sitting in the live competition?

"what is happening?"

Park Chang-nam felt like his head was spinning.

He took his assistant's phone and started looking at it.

The live stream happened to capture a panoramic shot, showing an angry mob outside the hotel and several police officers in the lobby, their faces filled with impatience.

A long string of Chinese words came through the phone, which he couldn't understand at all.

Then, a woman's voice rang out.

"We called the police at 2:30, why did you only arrive at almost 4 o'clock?"

The camera then pans to a woman who appears in the frame, much to Park Chang-nam's surprise.

"Lee Hyun-kyung?! What's she doing here?"

The assistant leaned forward and spoke:

"It seems like you're working as a translator?"

"When did she learn Chinese?" "I heard that Lee Hyun-kyung has been hiring a foreign language tutor every night to learn a foreign language recently, didn't you know, bro?"

The assistant's innocent words made Park Chang-nam pause again, and he wished he could give the assistant a good whack on the blockhead.

The fact that Lee Hyun-kyung studies foreign languages ​​every night, although there is no evidence, is still quite popular online.

But his attempt to learn a foreign language is clearly not serious!
"Ah... I've said it many times, we don't have enough police officers here, but they've arrived as quickly as possible."

The South Korean police officer in the live stream spoke up, sounding very impatient.

Suddenly, a hand holding another phone was extended in front of the camera.

"Did they get here as fast as possible? Then what is this?"

Zhu Kai, who was in the hotel lobby, opened the video he had recorded earlier!

That was a video he recorded when he was running wildly through the streets with his enraged gang of Koreans and happened to see a police car parked across the street.

The police car windows were rolled down, and two officers were lounging inside, chatting and laughing as they watched the parade on the next street.

As luck would have it, Zhu Kai remembered their faces and took pictures of them with his phone.

Clearly, the two officers had already arrived at the scene, but they had no intention of dealing with the situation at all.

Upon seeing his own face appear in the video on his phone, one of the police officers became visibly angry.

"Hey! Who gave you permission to take pictures of us?!"

"So what were you doing at the time?" Upon seeing the video, Lee Hyun-kyung was clearly very angry. He skipped the translation process and asked directly, "You knew that our team had a very important world-class match at four o'clock. We made more than a dozen calls to the police, but you were just lying in the car looking at the scenery?"

Seeing the situation escalate again, the older officer, who had been standing behind the two younger officers, glanced at his watch and stepped forward, saying:

"Alright, alright, you wanted to call the police? Then please come with us to the police station to make a statement."

As soon as the veteran police officer spoke, Lee Hyun-kyung's emotions became even more agitated.

"Are we going to the police station with you? The people outside don't need to go, but we're the ones going to the police station? We have a match at four o'clock!"

"What competition or not, that has nothing to do with me. Since you called the police, you must come with us to the police station to give a statement."

The veteran officer's gaze swept around the lobby.

"Is it just the two of you? There should be several other people, right? Are they still upstairs? Let them come down. Everyone needs to come to the police station with us."

The police officers obviously couldn't be looking at their phones while on a mission, so they were clearly unaware that the WE.A team members were already sitting on the stage and about to enter the draft phase!
"What does this have to do with them?" Zhu Kai stared, clearly shocked by the shamelessness of the Koreans. "I called the police, why should we take them to make statements? My brother Zhou still has a match to play!"

“They saw the whole thing,” the veteran officer said impatiently. “Besides, didn’t you say the match was at four o’clock? Even if you take a taxi to the International Convention Center now, it’s too late, isn’t it? Although I understand your feelings, please abide by the laws of the Republic of Korea and let Joo Ye and the others come down.”

Zhu Kai paused for a moment.

Suddenly, he asked in return:
"Hello, I'd like to ask you, how did you know we were going to the International Convention Center? And how did you know our captain Zhou Li's name? From beginning to end, we only mentioned playing a competition, never an e-sports competition, and we never mentioned the name Zhou Li. How did you know?"

When Lee Hyun-kyung translated these words into Korean, the Korean comments that had been hurling insults at her suddenly went silent.

The old police officer paused for a moment, realizing he had inadvertently slipped up in his speech, but he quickly came up with a clever excuse:

"Ah, aren't you a member of that team too? I've watched your matches, so of course I know who you are."

Zhu Kai suddenly smiled.

"I'm the nutritionist for WE.A eSports Club. Have you seen me before? When did you come to our club's kitchen?"

boom!
This caused an uproar in the comments section of Zhou Li's live stream!
Even the most foolish person could see clearly what these Korean policemen's true purpose was at this moment.

For a time, the crowd was furious.

Holy crap! The Koreans are really capable of this? They even called in the police just to win the game?!

If it weren't for the presence of American soldiers, the main force would probably have been deployed.

[This is hilarious! These policemen probably don't even know that Brother Zhou has already arrived at the scene; they're still stalling for time.]

The malice these people showed towards Zhou Li and his group was so obvious; I never imagined South Korea was this kind of country.

"Fine, fine, if you can't beat them, you call the police, huh?"

[Thief! Emei thief! I'm broadcasting from Angbei!]

The veteran officer knew he couldn't hide his mistake any longer and impatiently said:

"I don't know what you're talking about, but if you call the police, you have to give a statement. That's the rule in South Korea, and it doesn't matter if you're Chinese..."

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the cell phone in Zhu Kai's suit pocket.

The other person's phone camera was glowing with an eerie red light.

"Hey!" The veteran officer reacted instantly, his voice rising eight octaves, "What are you filming? Are you filming me? Who gave you permission to do this?!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the phone.

He clearly didn't know that Zhu Kai wasn't filming a video, but was actually live-streaming in a room with millions of viewers!
Seeing that Zhu Kai was not cooperating, the veteran officer stepped forward and shouted to the two officers behind him:
"Take him under control! Bring them all back to the police station!"

Zhu Kai retreated repeatedly, swallowing hard as he watched the police officers rushing towards him.

At that moment, he suddenly realized something.

Perhaps this is the best opportunity for the whole world to get to know Zhu Kai!
He took out his phone, flipped the camera to face himself, and, recalling the manuscript Zhou Li had given him, shouted:

"Summoners around the world! I think you already understand what has happened!"

"Look at these uniformed thugs! They allowed a mob to besiege the hotel for three hours! We were on the second floor watching stones smash the windows, while these two 'righteous heroes' were sitting in a police car on the street corner, eating sunflower seeds and watching the show! Now they're even taking us to the police station for house arrest! From the public to the police, the whole of South Korea is resorting to despicable and dirty tactics to win the game! They don't dare to compete with us fairly and squarely in the game!"

"Remember this from now on: whenever you come to South Korea for a competition, never defeat a South Korean team, or they will disqualify you from the competition!"

"These despicable, filthy, pathetic, vile, and filthy clowns!"

Zhu Kai was eventually caught up by the two, and as his phone was knocked to the ground, Zhu Kai's desperate shout could be heard.

"Fuck you, clown! If you can't handle the game, then fucking don't play!!"

Meanwhile, at the Busan International Convention Center.

Both sides have entered the business proposal (BP) phase.

With the election of human rights in Zhou Li's hands, a clown suddenly appeared before players worldwide.
