Given An Xiran’s temperament, he shouldn’t have acted so impulsively.
There must be more to this situation.
“Yanyan, he used malicious words to insult me, and I couldn’t hold back for a moment, that’s why I…”
An Xiran didn’t want Nan Yan to know what exactly Bai Haoxuan had said.
The fact that he had already beaten Bai Haoxuan and now wanted to explain the provocation would be pointless.
He didn’t regret beating Bai Haoxuan; he only regretted dragging Nan Yan into this mess!
Nan Yan patted his shoulder with her hand, her tone carrying a sense of significance, “You’re all grown up now, learn to control your temper. Remember, impulsiveness is the devil.”
An Xiran: ‘
Why did he feel like they had swapped roles?
Unperturbed by what was going through his mind, Nan Yan poured a glass of water, took a sip, and casually said, “Call the other teammates over. I’ll take charge of the upcoming matches.”
“Okay.”
An Xiran was at ease, leaving Nan Yan to manage the team in his stead.
Given the time she had spent adjusting to her role and the strength she had displayed, the teammates had long come to respect her authority; there would be no one who would not listen to her.
After notifying the teammates, An Xiran couldn’t help but express his concern,
“Those funds, my fourth brother will earn them back as soon as possible.
Yanyan, please don’t do anything illegal out of desperation.”
” My money isn’t just that easy to get,” Nan Yan casually placed down the water glass, “That money is just temporarily in his possession.”
“By the way, let’s double it.”
Touching her money comes with high interest rates.
An Xiran looked at Nan Yan, who seemed serious rather than joking. He strangely felt that she might actually have a way.
Compared to her, he felt utterly useless!
An Xiran’s confidence took quite a hit internally. He tried to rally himself and advised, “If there’s anything you need my help with, Yanyan, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Nan Yan looked at him and responded nonchalantly, “In that case, I’ll leave it to you to take care of yourself and avoid causing trouble for me.”
An Xiran:
Is he being so thoroughly despised?
Soon, news of An Xiran’s suspension spread like wildfire.
As for who leaked the news, one could guess without even trying.
An Xiran’s fans couldn’t accept it and flooded the official accounts of the organizers, demanding an explanation.
Some fans even went to An Xiran directly to seek confirmation.
However, An Xiran hadn’t responded yet.
Bai Haoxuan, in a good mood, scanned Weibo for the reactions targeting An Xiran. He clenched his teeth, letting out a sneer.
Going against him would only lead to a bad outcome.
Having An Xiran suspended was just the first step.
He wanted to ensure that An Xiran left the esports industry completely, never to compete again in his lifetime!
As Bai Haoxuan enjoyed scrolling through Weibo, the organizers finally responded.
He quickly clicked on it to read.
And when he did, he was so angry he nearly dropped his phone.
After An Xiran was suspended from competing, he transformed from a participating player to a season host???
How was that even possible?
But the information from the official account of the organizers couldn’t be fake.
Following this, An Xiran quickly retweeted the message from the organizers and added a line: “In this year’s season, I’ll be with you in a new roleThis ‘you’ naturally referred to his fans.
As anxious fans waited for a response, they were caught between celebrating An Xiran’s upgraded status from player to season host, and feeling disappointed that they wouldn’t see his passionate competitive moments this year.
Some were also concerned about the absence of AEG’s vice captain, Chen Lang, due to illness, and now with An Xiran, the captain, not participating in the competition, were they going to be mere spectators this time?
Bai Haoxuan recruited internet trolls and went to An Xiran’s Weibo, using offensive language to insult him.
Since he couldn’t reveal the incident of the physical altercation due to agreements, he intentionally guided other fans to believe that An Xiran was not in good shape and had chosen to skip the competition to maintain his winning streak, leaving the other teammates to take the blame.
AEG wasn’t solely An Xiran’s team; the other members also had their own fan bases. Some fans were swayed by these manipulative statements and started questioning An Xiran, leading to clashes between his fans and the rest of the team’s fans.
An Xiran noticed the escalating tensions and, after a few attempts to calm the situation, he found that his words only fueled the fire. Frustrated, he had to temporarily close the comments section as a more drastic measure to stop the ongoing conflict.
“Now what do we do?” Little K looked at An Xiran with concern. “Captain, why did you act so impulsively?”
The situation had escalated to the point where if AEG lost this season, not only would the captain face ridicule, but the team’s reputation would also suffer.
“With Yanyan around, we won’t lose,” An Xiran replied calmly. “During this time, you don’t need to worry about external matters. Focus on the competition, and Yan will take my place and lead you to victory.”
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. Her relaxed posture exuded an air of confidence, making her teammates who knew her well realize that this “big sister” had the confidence to back up her claims.
Soon, the tone of the conversation among the teammates changed:
“Sister Yanyan’s skill is unquestionable. It seems like we’re not affected without the captain…”
“Am I the only one who thinks Sister Yanyan is even better than the captain?”
“Wow, that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking!”
An Xiran felt as if he was being shunned by his own teammates. Should he be feeling a bit fragile?
Nan Yan tapped the table, interrupting their conversation. Her icy gaze swept over the group, “Do you have confidence for this season?”
“Of course!”
“Since everyone has confidence, give it your all and prepare to win this season’s championship!”
“Let’s do it!”
Despite the attempt at a low-key approach, the situation seemed to escalate overnight as public opinion intensified. The esports fans’ opinions on An Xiran had become polarized.
Everyone, including his own fans, were waiting for his response.
The following day, the official competition began. Early in the morning, An Xiran updated his Weibo.
[#Even though I’m not there in person, my heart is with you. Looking forward to the first match under the leadership of the interim captain [Random Name], hoping for a brilliant performance!]
The name “Random Name” referred to a famous individual who had suddenly appeared and defeated AEG’s captain, An Xiran in a viral video. Many teams had tried to uncover her identity and invite her to join.
So, this expert had quietly joined AEG?
But wasn’t AEG’s official announcement about new members limited to just one female player?
Was this “Random Name” intended to be a surprise bombshell before taking the stage?
As curiosity rose among the masses, a newly registered Weibo account
reposted An Xiran’s message:
