Chapter 008: Brother Nan, steady!

Bai Haonan unexpectedly smiled, as if the previously gray and cold world had suddenly transformed into a colorful one

The more he thinks about Bai Haonan, the more he feels an unbearable itch in his heart

This further prompted him to subconsciously choose to escape by following the dark alleys and narrow streets

He has always adhered to the philosophy of carpe diem

Otherwise, how can it be clearly explained that the person who was burned to death was not killed by oneself

Once again, there was an explosion of some sort. Although the commotion was not as great as before, it still startled the disoriented Bai Haonan. The screams were no longer audible, and it seemed one could even smell the scent of burnt flesh. Bai Haonan, on the verge of tears, wondered what he could possibly say to the police.

When pressing down on a woman, one can finally feel the softness and elasticity of a living person, truly! At this moment, Bai Haonan only wants to live, to live at all costs, to breathe this air deeply and stand firmly on the ground is such a precious opportunity, but what the hell is going on!

Bai Haonan actually laughed twice, as if he had never faced any difficulties in his life, thinking to himself that he could still live quite impressively

Just the thought of going to prison makes one wonder if those powerful individuals would send someone to make their life miserable in there... or perhaps make their existence worse than death. Bai Haonan's first reaction was to tense up in fear.

The call had already been disconnected, and as he listened to the busy tone in the receiver, Bai Haonan forced a bitter smile. He recalled the phone numbers of several other teammates in his mind but dared not press any of them. At this moment, who knows what the police or the dealer might ask if they turned to find them. It was only at this point that Bai Haonan realized he had never truly trusted anyone in his heart, nor had he ever held anyone dear, not even his own father.

At this moment, Bai Haonan caught sight of the guy he had kicked unconscious seemingly writhing in pain, and he quickly got up... Even though the other party intended to kill him, Bai Haonan never considered killing to silence anyone or doing anything of the sort. He instinctively glanced at the other person, ensuring he wasn't soaked in oil, before hurriedly picking up the woman and turning to flee. It seemed he could already hear the sound of sirens or car horns in the distance, indicating that someone had definitely called the police

It feels like suddenly having a vacation after studying for about twenty years

Just as Bai Haonan was lost in thought, his phone beeped. Upon opening it, he saw a text message: "Leave overnight, go to Xiaofen's place. The car and keys are at the usual spot. Xiaonan, you should be more understanding now"

Old Chen did not seem so surprised: "Damn! You..." However, upon hearing that Bai Haonan had narrowly escaped death and that someone had died, his voice became much older: "Run away, hurry up and run, run as far as you can, come back in three to five years and see if the landlord will give you a way out."

The market makers who dare to open the market are seen by their players as formidable figures with substantial backgrounds, including seniors from within the circle as well as gang members from the outside society, including those from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan

How did it come to be like this

With this alone, Bai Haonan does not dare to face the police. After all, he can never become a professional player again. Standing on the court, he might as well be outside where he at least has a chance to survive

It is unclear whether it is the alcohol or the immense fear that brings about the subsequent pressure; in any case, Bai Haonan also needs such an outlet to thoroughly vent his feelings

This is the reason why Bai Haonan, despite having clearly scored a goal and not having committed murder, ended up having to pay for a second-hand sports car and could only choose to flee for his life

That is an ending of relentless conflict without resolution

Did not a few senior predecessors just join last year

The explosion of the car felt different from what one might imagine; there were no metal parts flying around. It seemed as if the fuel tank had simply expanded on its own. In any case, there was only a momentary flash of blinding light, and the flames that erupted licked at Bai Haonan's back. His bodily functions were instantly activated, and Bai Haonan, staggering, simply fell to the ground, rolling around with that woman for several weeks.

Only he understands how much Old Chen has sacrificed for this team and its achievements. Originally, according to the agreement between him and Old Chen, after playing for another two years, he could have easily followed Old Chen to secure a comfortable position as an assistant coach, living a worry-free life. Now, that is certainly impossible.

It is likely that someone placed a large bet on the Blue Wind team to win, and the odds for such a significant upset must be shockingly high. Moreover, if a bet on such a score were to hit, it could even lead the bookmaker to face catastrophic losses!

Although I am currently hesitant to go to the bank to report a loss and apply for a replacement, I still have one or two million in my bank account. Isn't it just to avoid the limelight? Anyway, I have grown tired of playing football and it is about time to retire. I am not a criminal or a murderer, so I shouldn't be wanted by the police. It is just a hit order from the underworld; I can run as far as I can. I can play for a few years and then come back. Who knows, the interest on my savings might be quite good!

There is even a sense of eager excitement

He doesn't even dare to call Bai Lianjun's mobile phone or home phone. In this day and age, it is quite easy to trace call records. Perhaps at this moment, only Old Chen is someone who will definitely keep a secret, but have I already broken Old Chen's heart?

Society, my brother Nan is about to run away

Players have interacted with too many individuals in society and have also heard numerous anecdotes about prison

Although it is unclear which powerful figure is behind this mysterious phone call, a person capable of losing seven million is likely tracked through their mobile signal, as depicted in movies. Moreover, one only needs to guard their own vehicle, and they will inevitably wait for themselves, and it is certain that the ruthless determination to eliminate oneself has already been witnessed

Bai Haonan hurriedly said: "I didn't ... ... "

It seemed that there was nothing to hide or evade in front of Old Chen, and Bai Haonan himself was surprised at how easily he spoke of matters he had thought difficult to mention: "I messed up, I played into the hands of the bookmaker, and as a result, I got the odds wrong today; they want to kill me..."

Thus, Bai Haonan, who is now lying beside the roaring flames yet drenched in cold sweat, knows that he is finished

Across two streets, a disheveled woman huddled at the alley entrance, watching from a distance as police, fire trucks, and ambulances surrounded the area. The trembling sensation in Bai Haonan's body had lessened somewhat, and he suddenly remembered that all his identification, wallet, and phone had been completely burned. He skillfully reached into the woman's high side, finding her phone in the gap of her undergarment near her armpit. His instinctive first choice was to call Old Chen.

Following the sound of laughter, the woman in his arms opened her eyes, hazy with intoxication, and gasped softly: "Ah? It hurts, where..."

The voice was soft and melodious, imbued with a lazy yet enchanting innocence, which unexpectedly stirred Bai Haonan's interest like never before. He instinctively reached out, eliciting a response that was both delightful and teasingly resistant: "Ah? ... ... No, not here, please ... ... Ah! Ah ... ... "

Although the study in this semester is not taken very seriously, the feeling of truly being on vacation, that complete psychological relaxation, is quite similar to a change of day and night

What is the penalty for match-fixing?

As for seeking revenge for this life-threatening grudge, Brother Haonan has not thought of it yet; survival comes first

How high can the moral standards be expected of a professional athlete who has lived in a hormone-driven environment since childhood

Someone has died now

Bai Haonan, drenched in sweat, was shouting wildly in his heart

Such a grand scene, such a resounding explosion and impact, it would be strange if no one noticed. Bai Haonan could even see the lights of the high-rise buildings around him, which had originally been asleep, lighting up one after another.

A few hours ago, he was seemingly the hero of the entire city, but now he is to be apprehended by the police. Bai Haonan does not know what to explain to the police, should he turn himself in and say that he was being chased for gambling on fixed matches?

In the dark alley, inappropriate sounds for children persisted for a long time

For twenty-eight years, from childhood to adulthood, except for the time when I was too young to remember, I have spent almost all my time in sports schools, sports teams, clubs, and on football fields. Although my days were filled with training, competitions, and leisure, the identity of being an athlete felt like a tight spell, always present, as if I had never ventured beyond the walls of this enclosed world to see what lies outside.
