One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 168
Chapter 168: Chapter 145: The face is black, the head is green.
Ye Zhaoyu was about to arrive at the hotel when he looked at the photos sent by the private detective.
His face was dark and his head was green.
He thought to himself.
Despite Tong Simeng having a boyfriend, shouldn’t she have been more cautious and tried to cover her tracks even if she betrayed him?
But no.
She was right at the doorway, blatantly embracing Yue Heng with deep affection?
Ye Zhaoyu suddenly began to question his life.
Tong Simeng was so open about it, and he had never noticed?
Was his mind really not functioning?
Ye Zhaoyu absolutely refused to believe this reality, grinding his teeth.
No, it’s impossible.
He hadn’t noticed before only because he had trusted Tong Simeng too much!
And it’s always the person you trust the most who can hurt you the deepest!
“Keep taking pictures!” Ye Zhaoyu replied through gritted teeth.
He felt a faint and persistent pain in his chest.
But still.
Ye Zhaoyu forcefully ignored this sensation.
The close connection between Tong Simeng and Yue Heng wasn’t just a betrayal of him.
It was even a betrayal of the whole club.
This matter.
His personal pain was secondary.
With the final match imminent, he couldn’t let Tong Simeng destroy everyone’s dreams.
Because of his immense trust in Tong Simeng, the team’s strategic tactics had never been hidden from her. She could easily get any information she wanted.
Ye Zhaoyu suddenly remembered.
Last season, Tianxing Club was just a third-rate team with poor results.
This season, they had suddenly become incredibly strong.
They had faced Tianxing once before, and at that time, Ye Zhaoyu felt that Tianxing’s style reminded him of their own club.
Back then, Ye Zhaoyu had thought the people from Tianxing had been studying them secretly, causing their styles to become somewhat similar.
But thinking back now.
Could it be that Tong Simeng had been leaking their training materials to Yue Heng early on?
The more Ye Zhaoyu thought about it, the more dangerous his expression became.
The one good thing Tong Simeng had done.
Was informing him about Ye Bingtong’s situation, which led him to return home once.
Because of this, he was able to hear Ye Xiao’s true feelings, and he learned that his naïve and sweet girlfriend was actually a girl with her own story.
Ye Zhaoyu took a deep breath.
He would obtain the complete evidence and then confront Tong Simeng face to face.
The dream of e-sports wasn’t only his.
After such long and hard training, nobody could stop them from winning the championship, absolutely nobody.
In the upper floors, Ye Mingcheng was also holding a prepared camera, clicking away.
In the café, behind the glass windows, Du Yaru started to stealthily take photos, too.
Ye Bolin wasn’t playing basketball anymore either.
He pulled out his phone and clicked away.
He was really getting into it.
A somewhat surprised voice rang out.
“Big brother?”
Ye Bolin was taken aback for a moment, turned his head, and saw Ye Lin, fully equipped, hiding around the corner just like him. Ye Bolin recognized him at a glance.
The two looked at each other and both felt a little awkward.
“Big brother, did a friend invite you to play basketball?” Ye Lin asked.
Ye Bolin was calm: “I’m done playing. I suddenly thought the view here was nice, so I took some pictures. What about you? Weren’t you supposed to keep an eye on the third brother?”
Ye Lin was also calm: “I asked Xiaoxiao to help me watch him. I suddenly felt like going for a walk.”
“Just for a walk and you’ve come to such a distant place?” Ye Bolin raised an eyebrow.
Ye Lin was about to speak when his phone screen flickered to life.
Ye Bolin couldn’t help but watch him.
Ye Lin coughed lightly: “It’s nothing important, I’ll check it later…”
“Better look now. It might be something important,” Ye Bolin said.
Ye Lin had no choice but to reluctantly unlock his phone.
The tabloid journalist had sent him the photos to claim credit for the scoop.
It must be said, the photojournalistic skills on display were quite impressive.
He had started snapping pictures from the moment Yue Heng got out of the car, capturing both figures as they hurried forward, their expressions locked in an embrace.
It really conveyed the feel of a romance drama.
Ye Bolin squinted his eyes, “Are you having someone secretly take photos of Tong Simeng? This doesn’t seem very appropriate.”
Ye Bolin was also somewhat surprised.
His silly little brother had actually noticed something off about Tong Simeng and even knew to have someone watch her. He really was growing a brain.
The only one in the family whose brain had not yet developed was Ye Zhaoyu.
“Cough cough.” Ye Lin looked at Ye Bolin, “What was big brother just taking a photo of? Let me have a look, too?”
Ye Bolin was silent.
Ye Lin forcibly snatched the phone and looked at the screen.
It was the back of Tong Simeng and Yue Heng in an embrace.
“Big brother, your angle isn’t good. Professional tasks should be left to the professionals,” Ye Lin said with meaningful depth.
Ye Bolin: “…”
He was also shocked.
There wasn’t much in the way of cover near that hotel, so where did the tabloid journalist Ye Lin hired find such an angle to take these clear photos!
Ye Bolin could only silently give a thumbs up.
“Let’s just continue waiting here for more news,” Ye Lin was somewhat smug.
Ye Zhaoyu’s mind was filled with countless thoughts as he was immersed in the pain of betrayal.
Suddenly, he glanced outside the car window and saw two people huddled together, sneaking around!
Ye Zhaoyu was stunned on the spot.
“Stop the car!”
Five minutes later, the three brothers huddled together in a corner, looking at each other.
As the eldest, Ye Bolin spoke first, setting the tone, “I need to explain something about this situation. I really was playing basketball nearby. This incident is totally accidental.”
Ye Lin nodded, “I can also explain. I accidentally walked over here.”
Ye Zhaoyu: “… I had too much to eat after dinner and accidentally wandered over here.”
The excuses were far-fetched.
But.
The situation at hand was.
The eldest brother couldn’t ridicule the second brother, and the second brother couldn’t laugh at the youngest.
So.
They overlooked these unimportant matters and pretended it was indeed just a coincidence.
“Little brother. You didn’t come here looking for Tong Simeng, did you? My advice is, don’t look for her,” Ye Bolin subtly shifted to block Ye Zhaoyu’s line of sight.
Alas.
His little brother was head over heels for Tong Simeng.
What would he do if he collapsed on the spot without warning after seeing these things?
Ye Bolin simply wished to secure evidence in advance. Even if he had to let Ye Zhaoyu find out about it, it had to wait until after the final game. This was definitely not the time to disturb his mindset.
Alternatively, he could use the evidence to privately threaten Tong Simeng into behaving.
Everything would wait until after the youngest had finished his competition.
“Right. There’s nothing worth seeing. I’ll go home with you,” Ye Lin volunteered, giving up the prime gossip-viewing spot and intending to take Ye Zhaoyu home first.
Ye Zhaoyu wore a complex expression.
He stepped forward a few paces and silently observed the inseparable Yue Heng and Tong Simeng at the hotel entrance.
Seeing in a photo and seeing in person.
They elicited different feelings.
But Ye Zhaoyu didn’t feel as much pain anymore; his heart had become numb.
Ye Bolin and Ye Lin exchanged glances, realizing that Ye Zhaoyu had already detected something was amiss. This matter couldn’t be concealed any longer.
Both were somewhat angry.
What’s going on!
Had Tong Simeng gone mad?
A hug for a minute or two would suffice, yet she continued without end.
Unbeknownst to them.
Tong Simeng was also bewildered.
She too wanted to stop…
Why did it feel like she was glued to Yue Heng, completely unable to separate?
The time rewound five minutes earlier.
Ye Xiao watched the unfolding drama with urgent impatience.
