Chapter 109: Dangers lurk, Tanaka Group begins to recruit people
Suddenly the atmosphere in the box became lively.
They don't know it at this time.
A conspiracy by the Tanaka Group against 20 professional players is unfolding.
At various intersections near the stadium, Tanaka Group's men were hunting for buses of major teams.
Each team’s bus has its own logo on the outside, so they are easy to identify.
They also have information provided by the group, including electronic ID photos of 20 e-sports players.
NV team became the first victim.
As their bus drove out of the stadium parking lot, it was blocked by two black vans.
NV captain David got out of the car to check the situation and was knocked unconscious by the other party!
The other team members wanted to get out of the car to help, but unfortunately they were no match for these professional thugs and were quickly subdued.
Tanaka Group's men took out the players' information, compared them one by one, and finally took away another team member, Pete.
After confiscating the communication equipment of the remaining people, the black van drove away.
Coach NV and two other team members were left unaware of the situation.
The same situation continued for the next half hour.
It was half an hour later that the police station received the call.
By the time Bu Liangren arrived at the scene, there was no trace of the black van.
Finally, according to the police statistics, 16 e-sports players went missing within half an hour.
For a moment, the remaining teams were in panic.
Under pressure, the police department finally gathered the remaining members of the participating teams in the hotel and provided them with 24-hour protection.
at the same time.
Inside the Haidilao private room.
Zhang Hao's cell phone rang.
"Why are you calling me so late?"
There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, with many different languages being spoken.
"I'm in the hotel right now. 16 e-sports players are missing tonight. Is everything okay over there?"
Zhang Hao frowned and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Ever since he saw Kato Tiger in the game, he always had a feeling that something was going to happen.
Now it's finally here.
He walked out of the room.
"Is it someone from the Tanaka Group?"
On the other end of the phone, Bu Liangren lowered his voice and said, "It's very likely, but there is no direct evidence to show that they did it."
Zhang Hao: "Where did it happen?"
“On the way out of the gym.”
"What about the surveillance cameras at the intersections near the stadium?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.
"I looked, but there was nothing to gain."
Zhang Hao was puzzled: "How could it be?"
"In order to broadcast the game live, the VR game company applied last week to temporarily set up video equipment at various intersections near the stadium. The surveillance should have been tampered with at that time."
Zhang Hao felt angry.
This kind of behavior would never happen in China. Needless to say, it must be that the VR game company bribed a person in charge of the island country's Ministry of Transportation.
I could hear Bu Liangren’s helplessness.
Zhang Hao said no more.
"I called you just to inform you of this situation. Please pay more attention!"
Zhang Hao replied: "You should also pay more attention."
After hanging up the phone, he opened the door of the box and waved to Kisame Nanashi.
Kisame Shichi was eating happily. When he saw Zhang Hao waving at him, he immediately put down his chopsticks and ran out.
"What's wrong, boss?"
Zhang Hao told him the news about Bu Liangren.
Finally, he said, "Please take some time. We will stay together at 4AM's base tonight."
"No problem, Boss. I'll listen to you."
This should be a sudden action by the Tanaka Group. As long as they can survive tonight and wait for the news to come out tomorrow, they should stop.
Because tomorrow, the attention of people from all walks of life will be focused on the missing e-sports player case.
16 people missing is not a small number.
Moreover, these 16 e-sports players come from different countries, and there will be great pressure from international public opinion.
Zhang Hao patted Kisame Nana's shoulder and said, "Tell them the situation slowly later and play for a while longer."
If someone is really targeting 4AM , the longer we delay, the more likely they will leave on their own.
Sure enough, Zhang Hao’s consideration was correct.
People from the Tanaka Group followed 4AM's bus and stayed nearby after it arrived at Haidilao.
Kato Tiger also rushed over.
He asked, "Why haven't they come out yet?"
"Yes, I've been inside for an hour..."
Kato Tora cursed, "Eat, eat, eat. I haven't eaten yet! You! Go buy me two sushi!"
I've been eating sushi while waiting for you. It's been an hour, you should have finished your meal by now.
If Kato Tiger knew the queue situation at Haidilao, he would not say that.
Inside the box.
The hot pot is bubbling and steaming.
After Zhang Hao and Kisame Nanashi came in, they did not show anything unusual.
But when Gao Dewei suggested drinking, Zhang Hao made up a random excuse and only allowed everyone to drink beer.
After three rounds of drinking.
Gao Dewei stood up: "Xiao Hai, I'm going to give you a surprise next!"
Li Zhihai's eyes were full of anticipation: "Captain, will you give me a bonus?"
Gao Dewei clapped his hands: "Remember what I said I would give you if I won the championship?"
The door of the box opened.
The staff of Haidilao carried a cardboard box directly in.
Gao Dewei patted Li Zhihai on the shoulder and said, "Go open it yourself!"
Li Zhihai walked to the cardboard box with great anticipation and looked left and right.
If the captain really gives me the bicycle as agreed, then isn’t this box too small?
He opened the carton nervously.
It was indeed a bicycle, and a folding bicycle at that.
He unfolded the folding bike and couldn't help but yell, "Captain! You can't play tricks on me like this!"
Everyone looked over and burst into laughter.
Although it is not a children's version of the bicycle, it looks very mini compared to Li Zhihai's body and appears to cost no more than 200 RMB.
Li Zhihai wanted to cry but had no tears: "Captain, you are too stingy!"
He tried riding it, circling the dining table, and it felt okay .
Everyone laughed again.
After joking, Gao Dewei took out four bank cards.
"The total prize money for the world championship this time is $1 million. After discussing with 17beast kk, we divided it into five parts. Brother Zhang took $400,000, and we split the remaining $600,000 equally!"
After saying that, he pushed one of the cards in front of Zhang Hao.
After the three of them discussed it before, they were still worried that the reward was too little. Without Zhang Hao in tonight's match, there was basically no chance of winning the championship.
Zhang Hao wanted to refuse, but when he saw the other party's sincere face and thought of 4AM's wealthy family background, he accepted it.
At this time, Li Zhihai was the only one on the field with a sad face. The captain did not even say his name, and he did not play, so he was afraid that he would not get any bonus.
Besides, before the competition, he and Gao Dewei had an agreement that he would give him a bicycle if he won.
Now that he has the bicycle, Gao Dewei has fulfilled his promise.
At this time, the sound of nature rang out.
"Xiao Hai! Your share! Go ahead!"
The bank card flew towards Li Zhihai.
"Captain...you..."
Gao Dewei: "Hurry up and stop being so hypocritical. We are a team! How can there be no place for you?"
Li Zhihai took the card and jumped up happily.
"Captain, I love you, muah!"
…
Another two hours passed.
Just when Kato Tiger was getting impatient, Zhang Hao and others finally appeared at the door of Haidilao.
Kato Tora threw away the cold sushi in his hand.
“It’s finally out!”
"Brothers, follow up!"
