Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 143: Compromise (7)

The coach's thoughts gradually calmed down. He realized he could exploit Gu Yi for a lifetime.

The evidence of Gu Yi's involvement in fixed matches was firmly in his hands. Selling Gu Yi off in a one-time deal would be like giving away a goose that lays golden eggs to someone else.

He couldn't let go of Gu Yi until he had completely squeezed out all of his value.

With this in mind, the coach suddenly felt at ease. He actually hoped that Gu Yi would deliver another godly performance, securing 20 kills in a game, which would undoubtedly solidify his status as a top-tier player.

"Boss."

"What is it?"

The coach turned around and saw his subordinates bringing Gu Yi's parents over.

They appeared timid and fearful, trembling and unable to speak.

With a sneer, the coach pointed to the audience area and said, "Since they're here, take good care of them. Make sure they're comfortable in the spectator seats. Keep a close eye on them."

"Understood."

The third match was the decisive game for Gu Yi's team.

Gu Yi was already fully aware of the opponent's tactics and movements, even remembering the exact timing of their last hits. This allowed him to make advanced tactical preparations.

Now, Gu Yi's teammates were thoroughly ignited with passion, each bringing their utmost focus to the game.

The camera focused on Gu Yi's character in the game.

He was seen dancing on his lane, seemingly taunting the opponent.

"Hey, why is this top laner dancing?"

"You don't get it, this is psychological warfare."

The commentators didn't understand Gu Yi's intentions, but the opposing top laner did.

He put down his mouse and glanced at Gu Yi across the lane.

Gu Yi, sensing the moment, immediately used his psychological suggestion on the opposing top laner.

"Huh?"

The opponent loosened his grip on the mouse, and Gu Yi did the same.

"What's wrong?"

"Gu Yi is asking us for help."

"Help?"

"Haven't you heard? About Gu Yi's team being involved in fixed matches."

"Damn, playing a rigged match and they still beat us this bad? Last game, he beat you so badly you were afraid to leave your tower."

"That's why it's so dangerous!" the top lane player said excitedly. "They must be threatened to play fixed matches, but Gu Yi and his team refuse to throw the game. Instead, they're playing with all their might."

"Is that really it?"

"Gu Yi keeps dancing, it's an SOS signal, he's asking for our help."

"That does seem true..."

"Let's pause the match and call the police right away."

The top laner pressed the pause button for the match and ran into the resting room without looking back.

...

After the pause and the match's resumption, Gu Yi continued to be the main target of the opposing team.

However, unlike last time, he didn't choose to drag out the game waiting for the police. He needed to end the match quickly to execute his plan.

His teammates watched him in disbelief.

His parents were sitting in the audience, with the coach's henchmen standing right beside them. Under such pressure, anyone would crumble mentally and falter in their gameplay.

Yet, Gu Yi seemed unfazed by the pressure, skillfully taking on multiple opponents and pulling off miraculous narrow escapes and counter-kills.

Gu Yi glanced at the time; the police would arrive in ten more minutes.

"No time left, push hard."

"Should we play it safe and take the dragon first?"

"Trust me," Gu Yi's eyes shone. "Go straight for it. I can take down four of them. Let's go!"

Following Gu Yi's command, the whole team, as if invigorated, aggressively dove under the enemy's tower, overpowering their opponents in a daring and forceful attack, looking forward to a one vs four exchange.

The opponents left their keyboards, watching in shock as Gu Yi's team rushed the high ground and leveled their base.

"Another crushing victory in just 20 minutes!"

"Just like a God descending from the heavens... he's truly a god among men, this Gu Yi..."

"Amazing."

The commentators were so excited they were nearly hoarse. The audience erupted in cheers, with some fans even throwing their shirt onto the stage.

The teammates stood up, hugging and cheering excitedly.

Gu Yi's gaze, however, never left the area below the arena.

The coach caught up in the fervent atmosphere, glanced at his phone.

He had lost four million in side betting.

But other clubs were now offering twenty million to buy Gu Yi.

Seeing this, the coach was even more reluctant to let go of Gu Yi. This brat was like a massive money tree.

"Damn, I never thought esports could be this profitable. I've been so short-sighted."

Cursing, the coach turned off his phone, ready to join his team on stage for the award ceremony.

Unbeknownst to the coach, one of his subordinates called him at that moment.

"Boss, the police are here."

"What?"

"We're trying to delay them as much as possible."

"No worries, let them come." The coach sneered. "I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"

"Understood."

As the coach left the backstage area to head towards the stage for the award ceremony, he noticed that Gu Yi was not on the stage.

A sense of foreboding washed over him.

He hurried to his private resting room and found Gu Yi standing next to his computer, holding a USB drive.

"What are you doing?"

The coach's hands were behind his back as he coldly stared at Gu Yi.

Gu Yi held up the USB drive with a smile, "This drive records all your criminal activities. Next time you chat online, remember to delete the chat history."

The coach slowly approached Gu Yi.

Gu Yi, holding the drive, moved towards the window. "You better not come any closer. The police might arrive at any moment."

"Hmph, you're clearly bluffing." The coach reached the desk, touching the computer. "The computer is still cold. You didn't even turn it on. How did you gather any evidence?"

"Gathering evidence against you doesn't require turning on a computer. I forgot to mention, I'm not just an Esports player, but also a hacker. While you were on the phone with your subordinate, I already collected all the evidence."

"That's impossible..."

The coach's eyes flickered with uncertainty. He was confident in his security measures, believing it impossible for Gu Yi to easily obtain evidence of his crimes.

"Don't be so quick to deny it, coach," Gu Yi said with a smile. "This evidence will be sent to the police in one minute. If you let me and my family go, I'll destroy this evidence, and I'll continue to play for your team."

The coach's eyes began to blaze with anger.

"You think I'll believe your lies?"

Gu Yi casually raised three fingers, "Three... two... one!"

Just as Gu Yi finished speaking, the coach's phone rang.

A chill ran down his spine. Last time, Gu Yi had similarly predicted that he would receive a text message!

During the matches, Gu Yi always seemed to be one step ahead of his opponents. His almost prophetic actions couldn't just be explained by "exceptional awareness." It was as if he had some sort of omniscient advantage.

What was Gu Yi's deal?

Was he really that calculating?

"Aren't you going to check your phone?"

The coach instinctively pulled out his phone from his pocket. It displayed a call from an unknown number.

"If I were you, I wouldn't answer that. It's probably the police," Gu Yi said with a smile. "You still have time to run."

"Playing tricks…"

The coach, paranoid and hesitant, didn't dare to answer the call. He pulled out a dagger from behind, glaring at Gu Yi with a mix of ferocity and fear.

Gu Yi smirked, reading panic and shock in the coach's eyes. He knew this was the perfect moment to use his ability. Counting down to three silently in his mind, he deployed his skill on the coach.

"Come on, if you dare, kill me."

Gu Yi ignited the coach's murderous intent!

The coach, holding the dagger, charged at Gu Yi.

"Left!"

"Right!"

"Middle!"

Gu Yi could predict the coach's every move, further fueling his rage.

"Die!"

The coach, gripping the dagger downwards, lunged at Gu Yi's head.
