"A shocking scandal broke out in the e-sports circle! The semi-finals were surprised to find a fake match, and the schedule has been suspended"

"Lu Chaofan is suspected of match-fixing, and the League One Organizing Committee has started an investigation"

"It happened in public! The E-sports league broke out the match-fixing incident"

Before the game ended for more than an hour, the major real-time news websites had already posted various headlines, followed by pushes for tens of millions of followers in the e-sports circle.

Soon these onlookers began to set off a bigger wave on the self-media. In just two hours, a hot topic of #路超凡假赛# reached the top of the self-media headlines.

There are quite a few good-for-nothings uploading their recordings to the Internet as soon as the game is over.

Numerous videos come from different angles and different users, all corroborating the authenticity of the news one by one, and also revealing the whole process of what happened.

The third hour after the game.

Lu Chaofan hid at home, closed all the windows, drew the curtains, and was on the phone in a cold sweat.

"There is too little room for manipulation." His manager said, "On the spot! On the spot! It exploded simultaneously! It's your exact words, and the time and place are completely correct. There is no way to refute it. How could you be so careless?!"

Speaking of this, Lu Chaofan wanted to cry: "It's all that idiot host! She left the microphone in the rest area, and she still hasn't turned it off! During the game, the inside and outside of the field are completely isolated, how could I want this!"

Manager: "By the way, that woman named Pei Ying came to you and asked about the agency fee?"

Lu Chaofan was furious: "Count her [beep—] a [beep—]! She cheated me and dared to come out to get the money, and that's not how you seek death! If you see her again, put a sack on her and beat me, beat her!" I'm the one who's disabled!"

Lu Chaofan contacted his company and learned that his contract had been temporarily suspended. It is conceivable that if the matter does not subside immediately, what awaits him is definitely the ending of being frozen to death in the snow.

Lu Chaofan went to Assistant Director Xu, whom he called his brother and brother that day, and wanted to find someone to clarify for him, but he didn't expect to hear Assistant Director Xu scolding his mother as soon as he called.

And it was the mother who scolded Lu Chaofan by name.

Assistant Director Xu has been suspended from his duties, pending investigation by the organizing committee of the First League. The organizing committee moved very quickly, and had already removed all the surveillance video from the competition site and the rest area. It may be that an investigation team will be established on the same day to take charge of this matter.

In the end, Lu Chaofan had no choice but to call a benefactor who had expressed his affection for him.

The sponsor said: "Forget it, spend some money to suppress the news, and wait a few months before you come out. Netizens are easy to suppress, but the organizing committee of the League One will definitely have nothing to do, and it will probably be banned in the end. It's been two years. Deer, don't go in the gaming circle in the future, come back and sing, and when this incident is over, I'll buy you a headline as compensation."

That night, the news about the match-fixing in the self-media disappeared out of thin air, and the relevant reports of major media were withdrawn from the headlines one after another.

The popularity of this matter has dropped so quickly that many netizens have seen the clues themselves.

Moreover, Lu Chaofan was very unwilling to be scolded like this on the Internet, so he hired a large number of sailors to clean up under his personal media.

The water army will affect the perception of the grasshoppers to a large extent, but at the same time it has aroused the anger of many people.

"Not fair! This guy sucks!"

At this moment, someone was scratching their heads and shouting, and angrily grabbed the keyboard and threw it to the ground.

A loud bang startled his roommate.

Victor poked his head in from the door and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? You lost again in ranking?"

The roommate was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. Hearing this, he immediately dragged Victor to the chair, explained the ins and outs to him tirelessly, and finally said angrily: "Lu Chaofan even hired the navy to clean up! If even this can be cleaned up, I will The three views are shattered! I don't believe there is any fairness in this world!"

When Victor saw this, he was filled with righteous indignation and asked, "Isn't he punished for the match-fixing?"

"The organizing committee only has the power to suspend the game, and can't impose substantive punishment, because he is not a signed player." The roommate said, "Look at his fans, I am really disgusted!"

On Lu Chaofan's official website, the most upvoted comment is: "We believe you are innocent, Xiaofan is the purest and most beautiful Xiaofan. Please don't be affected by those filthy things. Looking forward to your new The album came out, huh!"

Victor didn't pay attention to the e-sports circle, but when he saw this, he couldn't help being shocked by some people's brazenness.

He said: "Is there any other material? Show me. Such a serious dishonesty incident must be punished accordingly. Otherwise, the rules of the entire competition will be messed up in the future."

However, until he read all the materials, he found that there was a force behind Lu Chaofan who had been whitewashing him, and the news media always had a face of "it's none of my business, as long as I have money to make". Up to now, those who supported the liquidation of the organizing committee and called for heavy punishment of Lu Chaofan were all the people who saw the road as unfair.

His roommate is such a crowd. One person fights against thousands of sailors for free. He is so angry that he is about to roll his eyes.

The party held on all night, dwindling in number and weakening in strength, as they found their efforts more and more in vain.

"Lu Chaofan's manager stood up and said that he would sue us for damaging his reputation, and then many people were scared away. I guess the hot topics will be wiped out by tomorrow, and then half a month will be calm, and Lu Chaofan's new album will be released. The list, another pure and innocent little fresh meat." The roommate scratched his scalp and said painfully, "TMD, this is the reality."

Victor thought for a while and said, "What about Lu Chaofan's opponent? The one who signed a contract with him to play a fake match."

"Oh, fourth master, it seems to be forced." The roommate said, "You also saw that the assistant director is from Lu Chaofan. If you say delay, you can delay it. It's as easy as shopping for vegetables."

"Then there is no compensation? Those players who were bullied and lured by Lu Chaofan, and those who were ruined because of the delay..."

"Where does the compensation come from!" said the roommate, "Who will give it away? The organizing committee? The official media? Or rely on the netizens? Anyway, these players can only admit it."

"Do you deny it?" Victor said, "If someone sues Lu Chaofan, things will turn around."

The roommate said with a wry smile: "You little people with no power, who would want to offend others and even get into a lawsuit? Well, anyway, all we can do is appeal and support on the Internet... I hope someone can stand up."

Victor froze for a moment and said, "Me."

The two looked at each other.

The roommate said: "Xiao Ke, are you kidding me? Do you want to sit next to me, we brothers will have a verbal battle tonight?"

Victor smiled: "Okay, you are in charge of the verbal battle, and I am in charge of finding Qun Confucianism."

After he finished speaking, he started calling.

The first call was to the law teacher of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, my alma mater, and I consulted his opinion.

The second call was to the official hotline of the League One Organizing Committee, and asked about their investigation process in detail.

The third call was to entrust a private investigator to help investigate more of Lu Chaofan's former opponents.

The next few calls were made to different e-sports related organizations, official legal departments, public welfare rights protection organizations... you name it.

Then Victor sat down and began to write a plan: plan to invite legal experts, human rights leaders, relevant e-sports players, and representatives of the A League investigation team to participate in an unofficial hearing on this matter next Monday.

Victor's roommate: "..." with a confused face.jpg

When he heard the end, he was already fighting with each other, and asked, "Xiao Ke! Are you going to make a big news?!"

Victor said: "No, I thought that this matter might have to be resolved from a legal perspective. After listening to the professor's analysis, I found that there is something to be done."

Roommate: "That's amazing! I thought I was at my limit when I was fighting all the scholars all night and breaking my two thousand ocean keyboards. I didn't expect you... How much time are you going to spend on this?"

Victor: "Ah, if you go through the whole process, two months to... more than a year?"

Roommate: "...Xiao Ke."

"Um?"

The roommate calmed down a little, and said, "You will miss the employment season like this. Although I am also very angry, you can't waste so much time for this matter..."

"Why is it in vain?" Victor said blankly. "There are mistakes and omissions in the rules, and someone has to make up for them. Seeing injustice happen, I can find a way to try to make it fair. It is an honor." things."

So, the next morning, when Tai Lun checked his mailbox, he saw two unusually eye-catching letters: the first one was the official official response to the match-fixing incident, saying that the investigation team would contact him soon.

The second letter was a private letter signed by "Li Weike", inviting him to meet with legal counsel and sue Lu Chaofan; if they didn't want to sue, they could do so on their behalf. And, Li Weike asked for that contract.

Tai Lun read the second letter for a while, and suddenly felt very interesting, so he wrote back and made an appointment.

He hadn't intended to let it go lightly, because from the start he was ready to wring value out of his stupid foe.

Don't forget, the non-disclosure agreement of the contract stated aboveboard: Anyone who leaks the content of the contract will be fined 20 million yuan in cash.

So far, it was a coincidence that Tyronn received Victor's letter.

However, there are a lot of things that don't happen by coincidence.

Because assassins are always used to stepping on the spot in advance, for example: watching a rehearsal and observing the environment.

Assassins are also accustomed to blending into the crowd and becoming familiar with key people, for example: having some French fries and chatting with the cute host, and taking a look at the small microphone with the size of a thumb.

A master assassin never does anything he is not sure about.

Only after the plan had been smoothly simulated a dozen times in his mind would he smile kindly at the enemy and say, "Happy cooperation."
