The middle-aged man stopped a few steps away, spread his hands and said that he was not threatening, and said with a kind look: "Two, I have no malice."

"What do you mean to follow us?" Lian Chengbi had no good expression and did not buy the other party's account. Xin Ji stood beside her, and took a step forward to protect her, locking her eyes on the high-ranking warrior behind the middle-aged man, looking like he was guarding. When the high-ranking warrior saw Xin Ji's actions, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he hugged his chest with his hands, looking tall and above.

The middle-aged man explained: "I have something to discuss, but you don't accept strangers' calls, so you have to make a bad decision." He looked around and whispered: "Mr. Lian, Mr. Xin, can we talk with you?"

"Your behavior has violated my rights, and I am not interested in listening to your nonsense." Lian Chengbi flatly refused and turned around and wanted to leave.

As soon as she took a step, she heard a cry in her ears, and a flash in front of her eyes, Xin Ji was already blocking her face. A few meters further ahead, the high-level warrior walked around from behind and blocked his way.

At this time, the high-level warrior looked surprised, and he didn't expect Xin Ji to react so quickly. As soon as he made an action, Xin Ji protected Lian Chengbi half a step ahead. During the process of his circumference, Xin Ji always blocked between him and Lian Chengbi. If he really wanted to take action, he would not be able to escape Xin Ji's obstacle.

Lian Chengbi turned around and stared at the middle-aged man coldly, "Why, do you want to do it here?"

"I dare not." The middle-aged man said, "I dare not." But there was no longer a smile on his face. He said lightly: "Since Mr. Xin is unwilling to change places, I will just talk about it here. I hope Mr. Xin will be very proud in the next game and be convenient..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lian Chengbi: "Impossible."

"There is nothing impossible in the world." The middle-aged man's face was full of confidence and looked like he was in control. He continued: "I know the situation of your Hongqiao Sports Company. It's just a small company. Even if he gets the policy support of the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce, it's hard to achieve great things. It's better to cooperate with me. Of course, I won't let you sacrifice in vain. After the matter is done, I will definitely give you satisfactory compensation."

Lian Chengbi was still unmoved, and her delicate face was like frost hanging on her, and she flatly refused: "You are dreaming."

"There is no room for negotiation?" The middle-aged man asked again without giving up. However, even Chengbi didn't even say anything this time, and he was completely indifferent to his attitude. He finally changed his face and said gloomy: "Even if you don't know how to be a human being, the business of Hongqiao Sports in Europa will probably not be too smooth in the future."

"I want to learn how it's not going well." Lian Chengbi sneered, not taking the threat from middle-aged people seriously.

The middle-aged man ignored Lian Chengbi. He turned to Xin Ji and said, "Mr. Xin, I know you came from the earth and are not an employee of Hongqiao Sports. If you are willing to cooperate with me, no matter how much benefits Hongqiao Sports will give you, I can double it!"

"Okay!" Xin Ji agreed readily, but before the middle-aged man was happy, he smiled and said, "Give me 500 million, I will let the water go."

The middle-aged man's face suddenly became very ugly, and he knew that he had been fooled by Xin Ji.

The champion's prize money is only 50 million. Even if the benefits brought by the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce's support policy are far more than 500 million, it is impossible to give the contestants so much money.

"If you change your mind, you can call me this time, so you can do it yourself." The middle-aged man threw down a card with a string of numbers on it.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man looked evil, and finally glared at the two of them fiercely, and boarded the speed without looking back. The high-level warrior hurriedly followed. When passing by Xin Ji, he made a thumb-down gesture towards Xin Ji, his eyes full of provocation.

Xin Ji was not weak at all and raised his middle finger at him.

Anger immediately popped up in his eyes, and he paused, as if he wanted to teach Xin Ji a lesson, but there were many pedestrians around him and cameras everywhere, which made him very afraid. Under the urging of the middle-aged man, he could only get in the car in depressed manner.

Xin Ji laughed, this kind of person really deserves to be beaten.

If I had known this, I would have gotten off in a hidden place and teach this guy the principles of being a human being.

The two watched the car leave until they disappeared from sight. Lian Chengbi's expression changed from toughness to worry, and said, "Xin Ji, what do you think they are from?"

"Looking at his appearance, he must be quite a bit of a big background. An ordinary person has a high-level warrior as a bodyguard. I guess he is an executive of a large company represented by a contestant." Xin Ji guessed casually, and carefully recalled what the middle-aged man said, and found that he had never revealed his identity from beginning to end, and was very cautious.

Lian Chengbi thought for a while and analyzed: "You have scored into the top 32 now. If nothing unexpected happens, the opponent in the next game should be Qiao Jing. She has lost to you once, and the strength gap is very big. If you lose to her on purpose, someone will immediately find out, so Qiao Jing's suspicion is very small and can basically be ruled out."

"What do you mean, the opponent's goal is to have a spot in the quarterfinals, so he sent it from the company represented by the opponent in the third round?" Xin Ji asked.

Lian Chengbi nodded slightly, "This round of opponents is the most suspicious."

Xin Ji recalled the information of his third round opponent in his mind, and it will be produced between the four players, No. 9, No. 56, No. 24 and No. 41. According to the strength comparison, No. 9 must be the strongest player, and the possibility of facing him in the end is the greatest. However, it is not ruled out that the company behind the other three players bribed the opponent and advanced to the third round from these four people.

Xin Ji frowned and said, "No matter which player advances to the third round, there is no sufficient evidence, and we can't guess the other party's identity."

"It's not necessarily the third round opponent." Lian Chengbi pondered: "There are differences in the rewards of the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals, and the champion and runner-up are also very different, so the opponents you meet later are all suspicious."

Xin Ji sighed: "It's just an amateur game, why is that?"

"Although it is an amateur competition, it is inevitable that someone will have bad intentions when it comes to the major interests of many companies." Lian Chengbi operated on his mobile phone for a while, shook his head and said, "I just took photos of the two people secretly, searched and compared them on the Internet, but no results were found."

"This is not simple." Xin Ji was a little surprised and his expression became cautious.

The federal image search engine is very powerful, and its facial recognition technology is extremely accurate and mature. Even the most ordinary citizens will more or less leave a few photos on the Internet, but these two people cannot find them on the Internet. It should be that they asked an online privacy expert to protect them.

Most people don’t do this, which shows that these two people are prepared and are not afraid of being photographed and recognised.

Lian Chengbi looked worried. She was not afraid of other people's business tricks, but the enemy hidden in the dark is the most troublesome and difficult to guard against.

Xin Ji looked down at the card on the ground. There was a blank space except for a string of numbers, and there was no other information. The material of the card was also very ordinary, and there was no clue. This string of numbers was a phone number, so you would know without having to type it. You must have a temporary number generated on the Internet, and the owner behind the phone could not be found.

"Let this matter be aside, I won't let the water out of the game anyway." Xin Ji gave up his guess and said, "It's time for us to go back."

"Thank you." Lian Chengbi looked at Xin Ji gratefully.

The conditions for Xin Ji that Hongqiao Sports has given Xin Ji only 20 million at most. If Xin Ji is willing, the benefits he will definitely get from the middle-aged man will definitely be greater or less. However, he refused without hesitation, which made Lian Chengbi feel warm and completely relieved.

Xin Ji knew what Lian Chengbi was thinking and laughed and said, "Don't look at me like this. I promised to help you with 20 million. You must be honest in life. I don't want a penny of my money."

Lianchengbi smiled without saying anything, everything was indifferent.

The two of them recruited a speed vehicle and confirmed that no one followed him on the road, so they returned to the hotel smoothly.

Xin Ji did not have a match the next day, so he did not go to the scene. He stayed in the hotel and watched sixteen battles. This day, from the 17th to the 32th, against the 33th to the 48th, their strength was relatively close, so there were many upsets and there were situations with a lower score. The scene was a little more exciting than the first day's game.

As expected, Qiao Jing defeated her opponent and would face Xin Ji again in the next game. After she won in the ring, she had no expression of happiness on her face. She was also absent-minded in the post-match interview, and hurriedly left after a few perfunctory words.

On the third day, the game of the top 32 to reach the sixteenth starts.

Because Lian Chengbi was too eye-catching, Xin Ji asked her to stay in the hotel and go to the stadium by herself.

Unfortunately, Xin Ji's game today was scheduled to be the second to last. There were many games in the previous game that were very anxious and delayed for a long time. It was not until after three o'clock in the afternoon that it was his turn to play.

As soon as he got on the ring, Xin Ji saw Qiao Jing on the opposite side with a wry smile.

"You are really my nemesis. You finally avoided the knockout round, but you met you again in the final. It's really unlucky!" Qiao Jing said angrily.

Xin Ji spread his hands and said, "Sorry, this is not my intention."

"Forget it, I'm just blamed for being inferior to others." Qiao Jing sighed depressedly and said, "I'm not willing to give up. I originally wanted to compete in a quarterfinals..."

Xin Ji was silent and didn't know how to comfort her, and he couldn't let the water go in the game.

As soon as the opening countdown ended, Qiao Jing raised her hand to admit defeat.

Even though all the audience knew that Qiao Jing would definitely lose in this game, she admitted defeat before she even played, which immediately aroused the booing of tens of millions of viewers. Qiao Jing waved around indifferently, and withdrew from the ring without even participating in the post-match interview.

Xin Ji was also happy that he could advance without taking action. It was so easy.

There was a last game next, and Xin Ji was not interested in watching it. After leaving the venue, he found that Lian Chengbi was already waiting in the car outside. The two made an appointment to go out for a big meal together to celebrate the 16th.
