Clearly, Fang Heyang was being provocative.
Li Nanmu and the others immediately walked closer next to Gu Nianshen.
They were all ready to fight.
Meanwhile, Gu Nianshen glanced calmly at Fang Heyang before smiling a little.
Without saying a word, he slowly turned his head around to look at the seat in section C.
The seat he looked at was still empty as it was before.
While Gu Nianshen frowned, Fang Heyang began to speak from behind him. “I won’t go easy on you just because of Chief Lin.”
Apart from Gu Nianshen, everyone else was confused by what Fang Heyang said.
Although they could all understand that he referred to Lin Yiqian as Chief Lin, they were curious about how Lin Yiqian had became associated with Fu Zhong’s basketball team captain.
Li Nanmu was finally unable to contain his curiosity. “Does this man know Lin Yiqian?” He asked Gu Nianshen in a low voice.
Gu Nianshen chuckled sarcastically. “Many people know my wife. However, my wife is bad at recognizing pedestrians.”
Gu Nianshen then glared at Fang Heyang after finishing his sentence.
It was almost as if he was indirectly saying that Fang Heyang might know Lin Yiqian, but she did not know who he was.
Anyone could detect the sarcasm in Gu Nianshen’s words.
However, Fang Heyang did not seem to be affected by him. “Why isn’t Chief Lin here to cheer for you, Mr. Gu? It is such an important match, after all,” he said as he lifted his chin proudly.
He was definitely trying to pick a fight.
Everyone turned to look at one another before finally landing their gaze on Gu Nianshen and Fang Heyang.
“We’re here for a basketball match. Let’s cut the crap!” Qi Wuyue finally broke the silence.
He exclaimed as he frowned at Fang Heyang.
“Fine. Let’s begin then.” Fang Heyang shrugged.
As he spoke, Fang Heyang scooped up the ball from the ground. Without pausing, he directly tossed the ball at Gu Nianshen in the same way he would when making a shot.
At the same time, Gu Nianshen’s eyes sparkled as he instinctively dodged the ball by moving aside.
The ball headed straight for Li Nanmu as it flew past Gu Nianshen.
Li Nanmu was about to catch it when Qi Wuyue reached out with one hand and smacked the ball away. It then bounced back to Fu Zhong’s side.
Fang Heyang was able to catch the ball with his hands. Right then, he could feel a cold gaze upon him. As he lifted his head, his eyes met with Qi Wuyue’s darkened eyes.
Calmly, Fang Heyang nodded as he feigned an apologetic smile at Qi Wuyue.
Then, he continued to hold the ball with one hand whilst waiting for the judge to announce the start of the match.

Right then, the parking lot had a completely different ambiance to the basketball court.
It was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard. Nearly half an hour later, there were no longer any cars entering or leaving the parking lot.
Lin Yiqian continued to lean against the steering wheel as she stared at the green dustbin next to a nearby pillar. The swelling of her eyes had dissipated somewhat.
As her phone lit up yet again, it was a call from an unknown caller. However, Lin Yiqian had already memorized it.
She refused to answer the call as she picked up her phone and canceled the call.
Then, she unintentionally caught sight of the clock which showed that it was already six o’clock.
The match had begun…
Lin Yiqian smiled as her eyes welled up yet again. She hurriedly lifted her head and tried to suppress her emotions.
However, she was still unable to get the image of Xi Xia wearing the number ‘one’ jersey out of her mind.
It constantly reminded her that Xi Xia was the person Gu Nianshen liked. Lin Yiqian would never be able to replace Xi Xia.
She had known all along…
‘Hey handsome, are you buying this bracelet for someone you like?’
