When the reporters heard what he said, they turned around simultaneously.
The crowd parted to let him through as he ran up to her. His eyes lit up. “Coach Qiao, we’ve kept you waiting.”
The team members, who had been unmoved by the crowd of reporters, were all invariably full of emotions when they saw Qiao Lian.
The six of them surrounded her and chattered excitedly.
She listened to them patiently. Shortly after, she heard someone, obviously stunned and shaken, ask, “You- you are Forget Chuan?”
She turned around only to see an astonished Zhang Chunhua staring at her, wide-eyed in disbelief.
With a smile, she replied, “Yes. I’m Forget Chuan.”
Then she looked down at Zhang Chunhua’s hand that was still tightly gripping her wrist. “So would you mind letting go now?”
Zhang Chunhua dropped her hand in fright and stumbled backwards. Still staring at her, she said, “Are- are you really Forget Chuan? How is that possible?!”
Qiao Lian completely ignored the woman.
Turning her attention back to the team members, she said, “Let’s go.”
As though this was a cue, all the reporters swarmed around her immediately, pointing their microphones and cameras at her and asking, “Forget Chuan, Forget Chuan, can we schedule an interview?”
“Forget Chuan, why did you choose to be an eSports caster?”
“Forget Chuan, do you have a few words for us?”
Qiao Lian had intended to leave together with the team.
But when she heard these questions, she halted.
Turning to face them, she said after a moment, “Because I am passionate about eSports.”
It was because of the man that she had fallen in love with gaming. She was hot-blooded, always ready to jump and channeled all of herself into eSports.
She only made that remark before she turned again to leave.
At this point, a voice rang through the crowd, speaking in a way that was obviously trying hard to please, “Forget Chuan, Qiao Lian... erm... can we make an appointment for an exclusive interview?”
Qiao Lian halted when she heard this request. The look on her face was almost incredulous as she asked in return, “Do you think I’ll actually agree to it?”
Zhang Chunhua took a step towards her and said in a low voice, “You have to agree whether you like it or not. Otherwise, I’ll expose all your ugly secrets on the internet!”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank immediately as she glared at the vicious woman.
Zhang Chunhua smiled triumphantly and continued, “I finally found out why you’ve never show your face in live broadcasts. It’s because of this! You’re afraid that what your parents did in the past would be exposed and that there will be public backlash.”
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes at Zhang Chunhua’s words. Still glaring at the woman, she said, “Zhang Chunhua, do you really think I’m afraid of trouble? I never knew that our law extends punishment to the descendants of the convicted.”
“Besides, I’m not afraid even if so. Expose me as you please.”
“But I will not give you an exclusive. Because... I despise your disgusting news agency!”
Leaving this harsh remark for Zhang Chunhua to ruminate over, Qiao Lian and the CQ team members got into their nanny van and left.
After Qiao Lian left, Zhang Chunhua stood there with a pale expression.
Her fists were tightly clenched. Never in her wildest imagination had she considered the possibility that Qiao Lian was Forget Chuan.
If Forget Chuan was indeed Qiao Lian, then why... why had she worked in the news agency?
Qiao Lian had to be hiding some secrets!
As she thought, she narrowed her eyes. Then she called her two workers, “Trail her! We have to unearth her secrets!”
