Chapter 5, The News of the Heavenly King's Retirement

Xiao Ping seemed taken aback, but Ding Li continued, "At that time, the strength of the XJ Club was slightly stronger than that of Ice Fire, so as long as XJ performed well, it was impossible for them to lose to Ice Fire. Therefore, most of those participating in the underground gambling would naturally bet on XJ to win. However, the final outcome was that my brother had an accident, and XJ lost the match. When XJ lost the match, the real beneficiaries were, of course, those who secretly bet on XJ to lose."

Xiao Ping silently lit a cigarette, the smoke curling and dispersing in the air. The events of the past seemed to emerge at this moment.

Ding Li interrupted Xiao Ping, saying, "Creating a false impression of drunk driving shouldn't be too difficult, right"

"Are you doubting the three of us?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ping looked at Ding Li and gave a wry smile

Indeed, the new power of Shao Da Shao has MaGic, the Xiangjiang Club led by Guo Hong has the splendid human race Topic, Li Xinglin's Thunder Club has Blood Demon DDg, and the Red Wind Club has Double Insurance Next and Alone. In terms of overall strength and the prowess of their respective star players, these four clubs are closely matched. Therefore, these four clubs are the most likely to become the ultimate winners.

No," Ding Li shook his head, "the Ice and Fire Club has been criticized several times in the Super League; it is impossible for them to do such a thing for the sake of promotion or relegation in a single season.

It was originally like this, but now there is a new player named Ding Li, with "Ding" as in the first character and "Li" as in the second character, which makes it a bit different. Xiao Ping sighed but couldn't help but laugh, saying, "If it were me, and I suddenly saw another club gain such a talented player, I would feel a bit anxious too"

It seems that you indeed know quite a lot said Xiao Ping, looking at Ding Li earnestly

As far as I know, neither Guo Hong nor Li Xinglin seems to have wealthy fathers, so where did their money come from?" Ding Li glanced at Xiao Ping, "If I remember correctly, in that match against Ice and Fire, both of them seemed to be key players, and they both lost the game

Your brother had an accident, and I am also very saddened. However, your brother was a professional player just like us at that time, so it is highly unlikely that he would have any personal grudges or enmities with anyone. How could anyone have plotted against your brother?" Xiao Ping stood up, walked over to Ding Li's side, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, saying, "Moreover, so many years have passed since the incident; I think you should try not to think too much about it.

A profound silence enveloped the surroundings, so still that one could almost hear the gentle breeze rustling through the treetops outside the building

Ding Li also smiled, acknowledging, "Although the income of the XJ Club is quite good, it seems a bit tight to establish a club. While your teammates at that time later made their own investments, the scale of their investments is considerably less compared to the three of you."

"You are right. Starting tomorrow, you can come to New Power for training," Xiao Ping said to Ding Li.

"People my age always have plenty of time to squander." Ding Li smiled and said, "The funds of the Lion Wine Group and Gou Xiaoyun are secondary; many clubs do not lack for investment. However, the name Gou Xiaoyun is a golden signboard. Every year, countless newcomers are eager to join the RVA club he is part of, just to learn something from him. If he were to become an investor in a club, even if he only visited the club occasionally, that club would likely become a top choice for newcomers, just like the Blue Star Club and the RVA club." If he were to become an investor in a club, even if he only visited the club occasionally, that club would likely become a top choice for newcomers, just like the Blue Star Club and the RVA club.

Even if one of the two individuals did it, what does that have to do with the Lion's Wine Invitation Tournament

It seems so. Establishing a club requires at least an investment of over a million. If we rely solely on our salaries, we might barely manage if we don't eat or drink for several years. " Xiao Ping looked at Ding Li and said, "In this case, you should be the one most suspicious of me, because I have always been extravagant with my spending, and my expenses are much higher than theirs.

You are quite right. Just like Michael Jordan in the NBA, Gou Xiaoyun stands as the most dazzling king in the interstellar realm. The role he plays for a club goes far beyond what you have mentioned. " At the very least, the club he selects will undoubtedly become a highly profitable club in the Super League within two years," said Xiao Ping, leaning back in the armchair.

I originally thought the same way. "Ding Li smiled and said, 'However, I happen to know that you have a good father. When you established New Power, it seems that even the money for buying a building and the * drawings * here was paid by him.'"

Ding Li did not answer Xiao Ping's question, but instead looked at Xiao Ping and said, "You are my brother's best friend, and you should know that my brother rarely drinks alcohol, and even when he does, he never drinks foreign liquor"

I originally thought that I was overthinking it. However, the incident occurred just before the match between XJ Club and Ice Fire Club. That match was crucial in determining which club would continue to remain in the Super League.

Ding Li took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Ping, and continued, "After XJ fell into Class A, it has not been able to recover its vitality, and eventually dropped to Class B. It was acquired by Tianma Club. You, Guo Hong, and Li Xinglin all left XJ Club around that time."

So what do you mean

New Power, Xiangjiang, Thunder, and Red Wind. Xiao Ping's response was very simple and powerful

Ding Li seemed to understand this point very well, so he did not speak but merely smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Ping, asking, "According to Young Master Xiao, which teams are most likely to win the championship in this Lion's Wine Invitation Tournament?"

Xiao Ping is a successful individual, and successful individuals generally do not lack money to spend. Therefore, the profits that Xiao Ping speaks of are quite impressive, and for others, they may already represent an astronomical figure.

In the realm of interstellar travel, anyone who is in a hurry is bound to make some minor mistakes. Ding Li also looked at Xiao Ping and smiled.

Although Ding Li spoke without much coherence, Xiao Ping immediately understood Ding Li's meaning and hesitantly said, "Are you suspecting that your brother was harmed by someone? But the results from back then confirmed that it was indeed drunk driving, which is why..."

After an indeterminate amount of time, Xiao Ping finally broke the silence, "Why do you want to participate in the Lion's Wine Invitation Tournament?"

It seems that you indeed know quite a lot. Xiao Ping smiled.

Not long after my brother's incident, I heard a rumor. It was said that at that time, someone from your XJ club might have been involved in illegal gambling on the black market

The Lion Wine Invitational is organized by the Lion Wine Group. Ding Li glanced at Xiao Ping and said, "On the surface, it appears to be merely an advertising event organized by the Lion Wine Group. However, if my information is correct, the CEO of the Lion Wine Group is actually a friend of Gou Xiaoyun. Gou Xiaoyun is about to retire, and they want to select a club to invest in, and then create a super club."
