Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1531 1530

This day, at noon, Yun City Football Club.

After finishing the morning training, head coach Wu Da said to the players, "You all have been working hard preparing for the matches recently, so lunch is on me today!"

The players were overjoyed, as this was the first time Uncle Da had offered to treat them to a meal, a rare opportunity indeed.

Since the end of the three warm-up matches, the Yun City Team quickly became popular, and people were filled with anticipation for their upcoming official matches. This also increased the psychological pressure on the players, who were a young team; maintaining their mindset was as important as their skills.

Wu Da's invitation for a meal was intended to help everyone relax a bit, without being too tense.

Wu Da said, "After this meal, you will have a two-day rest. I only have one request: use this time to adjust, not indulge, and be ready to play in your best form in three days."

The players all nodded.

Wu Da said, "Alright, everyone, tidy up, and let's go eat!"

Eagerly, the group headed to a nearby food stall.

This stall was near the club, and players liked coming here for its rare leisure in their otherwise monotonous training lives. Wu Da had high requirements for them, so coming here for late-night snacks and chat was already a luxury.

A group gathered at the food stall, sat down, and prepared to order food.

Suddenly, a group of masked individuals, wielding iron rods, barged into the stall.

"You're Wu Da, aren't you!" the leader pointed a rod at Wu Da.

This scene instantly sent chills down Wu Da's spine as memories surged in his mind. Thirty years ago, he was attacked by a gang of thugs wielding rods, breaking his leg and ending his career.

This nightmare-like scene had tormented him for thirty years, waking up from nightmares in a cold sweat countless nights.

The similarity of the situation was uncanny!

But the circumstances were different now.

He was now the head coach of the Yun City Team; he couldn't afford to be afraid or retreat, his sense of responsibility telling him he had to protect these young players.

So, despite feeling cold all over, Wu Da forced himself to stand up and confront them.

"I am, who are you, what do you want?" Wu Da asked.

The leader of the thugs said, "Everyone's here, great, saves me the trouble of looking!"

Wu Da said, "What do you want? I warn you, in broad daylight, don't do anything reckless!"

The leader sneered, "What we want? You'll find out soon enough!"

Wu Da said, "Please leave, whatever you intend to do, with those rods, it's clear you're up to no good. Leave now, or I'll call the police!"

"Old man, trying to scare me, are you? I'll beat you to death!" the leader threatened.

Without another word, Wu Da pulled out his phone, preparing to call the police.

Seeing this, the leader shouted a command, "Go!"

The group of thugs charged forward.

"They're going to hit Uncle Da, protect Uncle Da!" Li Yi shouted, jumping up.

The Yun City Team's players were young, full of vigor, and very united. Seeing the thugs bullying Uncle Da, they couldn't stand it and all jumped up to fight the thugs.

However, they were no match for the thugs, who were evidently skilled and armed with iron rods.

The players, barehanded, were simply not their opponents.

Wu Da was kicked down to the ground by the leader and hit repeatedly with the rod.

The players were also knocked down one after another by the thugs.

The scene became chaotic.

The other customers in the stall were frightened away, and the owner hid under the cash register, too scared to make a sound.

"The police are here!"

The thug on lookout suddenly shouted.

The leader frowned, "Damn, there are police nearby, here so fast, let's go!"

Their retreat was indeed swift; they immediately abandoned their action and quickly fled.

By the time the police arrived, the thugs were gone without a trace, and all they saw were the players lying on the ground, groaning in pain amidst the wreckage of the restaurant.

The loudest cries came from Li Yi, who was clutching his right leg, wailing. His leg was clearly twisted, the site bruised horribly, having been broken.

Worst injured was Wu Da, bleeding from the head, unconscious, not even able to cry out in pain.

The other players had various injuries.

The police contacted the hospital, and they were quickly sent to the hospital.

Yun City People's Hospital.

Lin Fan frowned as he heard an employee recount the incident, internally fuming with anger.

On the eve of the Huaxia Super League, the Yun City Team was attacked by unknown assailants, leaving head coach Wu Da seriously injured and rushed to the emergency room.

Star forward Li Yi had his leg broken, also undergoing surgery.

The other players sustained various injuries.

Lin Fan noticed that the injuries correlated with the players' rankings, with the strongest players injured the worst, especially star forward Li Yi, whose leg was broken.

According to the employee's account, it seemed like a malicious attack aimed at head coach Wu Da, with other players injured while defending him.

But Lin Fan realized after observing their injuries that the incident wasn't just about Wu Da; it was targeted at the entire Yun City Team.

Their aim wasn't just to beat Wu Da but to ruin the Yun City Team.

With Wu Da injured, morale might be hit, but with the strongest players injured, the entire team was almost crippled.

Fortunately, the police were nearby and arrived quickly; had they been late, more key players would have been seriously injured, crippling the entire team even more significantly.

Who would do such a thing?

The saying goes, when one becomes prominent, they attract trouble, and the gun is aimed at the one who stands out. The Yun City Team's astonishing performance in the warm-up matches made them suddenly very popular, and their strong capabilities made many feel threatened.

It was hard to ascertain, at the moment, who was behind such a move against Yun City Team.

Lin Fan thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Li Zhen.

Li Zhen, currently the leader of Yun City's underworld, was not widely known, but Lin Fan was behind him.

Hearing Lin Fan recount the Yun City Team's ordeal, Li Zhen was shocked.

"Mr. Lin, I'll start investigating immediately, personally investigate, and reply to you within today!" Li Zhen promised.

The fact that such an act could occur in his territory was intolerable to Li Zhen.

Especially with Lin Fan calling, he couldn't take it lightly.

"Mr. Lin, I can assure you, these thugs are not from Yun City. Currently, Yun City's underground forces are under my control; without my approval, who'd dare do such a thing?" Li Zhen continued.

Lin Fan said, "Then they're outsiders."

Li Zhen replied, "Yes, someone is threatened by Yun City Team's strength and wants to take them down; daring to cause trouble on my turf will not go unpunished!"

As soon as Lin Fan hung up the phone, he saw several police officers approaching, led by Luo Loli.

Suddenly seeing Lin Fan, Loli was delighted, but the current scene left little room for such joy. Loli suppressed her delight, maintained a serious demeanor, and approached.

"We're here to investigate," Loli said.
