Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1530 1529:
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
The hotel's TV was broadcasting sports news, catching the attention of the customers who started discussing.
"It's about to start. I've been waiting a long time for this match!"
"I'm a little excited. Who do you think will win?"
"We're from Hang City, so of course we hope the Hang City Team wins. But the Yun City Team is really on a roll."
"Yeah, the Yun City Team won all three warm-up matches, even beating the Su Province Team. That's awesome!"
"But the Hang City Team isn't bad either. They also won all three of their warm-up matches!"
"The outcome is still uncertain!"
"Exactly, I still favor the Hang City Team. After all, they're an old strong team."
The crowd continued to discuss.
Because of this news, Lin Fan remembered the soccer event. He's been too busy and had completely forgotten about it.
The Huaxia Super League is about to start!
The opening game is Hang City Team versus Yun City Team, and the venue is Yun City.
Which means the Yun City Team has home-field advantage.
Lin Fan is about to return to Yun City, just in time to catch the match.
With the Yun City Team's current strength, Lin Fan wasn't really worried.
Very soon, the food arrived, and Lin Fan and Li Zixia started eating, chatting about work as they ate.
After the meal, Li Zixia called the landlady over: "Landlady, the bill please. How much is it?"
This meal was her treat to Lin Fan.
The landlady came over and smiled: "No need, this one's on me. Zixia, you're back, today Aunt Liu is treating you."
Li Zixia was taken aback: "Aunt Liu, that's too much, I can't accept this."
The landlady chuckled: "It's nothing. Just come by often and support my business in the future."
Lin Fan smiled: "Since it's the landlady's gesture, I graciously accept. Thank you, landlady."
Seeing Lin Fan say this, Li Zixia nodded: "Thanks, Aunt Liu."
The landlady said: "No need to thank me, just come by often. Young man, you too."
"Hmm..." Lin Fan replied, feeling that the landlady's words seemed to have another meaning.
The landlady promptly walked away.
Li Zixia said: "Brother Fan, wait for me a moment. I need to use the restroom."
Li Zixia got up and walked to the restroom. Seeing this, the landlady came over again.
"Young man, Zixia is a good girl, cherish her well," the landlady said with a smile to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was a bit confused: "Aunt Liu, what do you mean?"
The landlady giggled: "They say men can be a bit slow in these matters, and you're no exception as a handsome guy. Can't you see Zixia looks at you with eyes full of..."
"Landlady!" Someone from next door called out to the landlady, interrupting her.
The landlady responded: "Coming!"
"Young man, better figure it out yourself." The landlady continued to Lin Fan, before going to attend to the guests.
Lin Fan frowned, Zixia looks at him with eyes full of what?
Before long, Li Zixia returned.
The two of them rose and left the hotel.
The landlady was busy attending to guests, but didn't forget to glance at the two of them, with a smile in her eyes, muttering: "How nice!"
Lin Fan and Li Zixia stepped out of the hotel, and came to the roadside, waiting for a taxi.
"Brother Fan, when will you come to Hang City again?" Li Zixia asked.
Lin Fan replied: "I might come anytime. I probably have to travel back and forth frequently in the future."
"Hmm." Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Li Zixia felt happy, already anticipating his next visit before he even left.
Lin Fan recalled the landlady's words earlier, particularly focusing on Li Zixia's gaze. The landlady said Li Zixia looks at him with eyes full of what?
He'd never paid attention before, but upon observing closely this time, he realized Li Zixia's gaze was indeed somewhat different.
Eyes full of what?
Full of love!
"This..."
For a moment, Lin Fan's mood was complicated. He really was slow, since when did Li Zixia start liking him?
His damn charm!
How should he respond to this?
The taxi arrived, and Li Zixia flagged it down for Lin Fan.
"Brother Fan, be careful on the road and text me when you reach," Li Zixia reminded.
"Okay." Lin Fan smiled and then got in the taxi.
The taxi quickly drove away.
From the rearview mirror, Lin Fan saw Li Zixia still standing by the road, waving her hand, eyes fixed on his taxi, full of reluctance.
The taxi driver, seeing this in the rearview mirror, laughed: "Buddy, on a business trip, huh? Your girlfriend can't bear to see you leave. I really envy you young folks, so much passion! Unlike us old couples, who just find each other annoying. I really miss that first love feeling!"
Lin Fan: "..."
Bitterly smiling inside, it seemed like the whole world knew Li Zixia liked him, and only he just found out.
Two hours later.
Lin Fan, after taking the taxi, finally returned to Yun City.
Ever since Lin Fan took Yun Qingyao to Southern Yunnan, he's been constantly on business trips, and now he's formally back in Yun City.
"Young man, we're in Yun City now. Where do you want to go?" asked the taxi driver.
Lin Fan replied: "To Mortal..."
Ring ring ring...
Lin Fan's phone suddenly rang.
"Excuse me." Lin Fan said, answering the phone.
"Boss, something's wrong, Uncle Da and the guys were attacked!" a voice anxiously said on the other end.
Lin Fan recognized this as the voice of an employee from Yun City Football Club.
Lin Fan frowned: "Where are you guys?"
The employee replied: "We're at Yun City People's Hospital, we just brought Uncle Da and the others here, boss, where are you?"
Lin Fan replied: "I just returned to Yun City, I'll head over now."
Ending the call, Lin Fan told the taxi driver: "Sir, please take me to Yun City People's Hospital."
Wu Da and a group of players were attacked!
Today, Wu Da and the Yun City Team players were preparing for the upcoming match. Around midday, they went to a nearby hotel for lunch when a group of unknown individuals charged in and started beating them up.
Lin Fan rushed to the hospital, seeing the players being treated in the wards.
The players each had their injuries, some were beaten black and blue, others had injured limbs.
"Those people were particularly aggressive, storming in and attacking without warning. Luckily, there happened to be police nearby at the time, otherwise, our injuries would've been worse." An employee said to Lin Fan.
"Where's Uncle Da?" Lin Fan asked with a grim expression.
The employee replied: "Uncle Da is in emergency surgery, he's the most seriously injured. Then there's Li Yi, whose leg was broken, also in surgery."
Lin Fan's anger surged instantly.
He noticed the injuries of the team members; Uncle Da was the most severely wounded, followed by several of the strongest players, especially Li Yi, Fan Yiye, Sun Jihai, etc. Basically, the severity of injuries ranked by ability, the stronger the player, the worse the injury.
It seems like this was a premeditated attack, with the perpetrators targeting head coach Wu Da first, then several strong players.
Their intention was obviously to cripple the Yun City Team!
The match is about to start very soon, and now such things happen at this critical moment.
Who is behind this dirty trick?
