    Cen Xi thought this and acted accordingly, but just as he leaned in, a voice he really disliked came from the side.

    “Captain Luo.”

    Li Yu had arrived.

    “Sit, sit.” Luo Yan put down his phone, stood up, and started to greet him. Li Yu sat down. “Want something to drink?”

    “No need.” Li Yu sat stiffly.

    “Alright, then I’ll get straight to the point.” Luo Yan took a sip of hot chocolate, nodded, and thought it tasted pretty good.

    “Three years ago, do you remember one morning when Cen Xi suddenly knocked on our door and then left inexplicably? I want to know, what did you do before and after that I don’t know about?”

    After Luo Yan finished speaking, he took another sip of hot chocolate, playing with the spoon in the cup. Cen Xi looked at Li Yu with a half-smiling expression. Now that he was here, he had to be serious and get down to business.

    “Captain Luo, what are you talking about?” Li Yu didn’t dare to look any of them in the eye, staring at the space under the table.

    Luo Yan and Cen Xi exchanged a look after seeing Li Yu’s reaction, confirming their suspicions.

    “I remember you took my phone at the time and looked at the team messages. Did you really just look at the team messages?”

    “Cen Xi said he sent me a lot of messages, but why didn’t I see them?”

    “Also, I was confused at the time and didn’t ask you, but why did the towel turn red after I wiped my neck with it? I remember I didn’t touch anything red.”

    “Li Yu, do you really not know anything?”

    “I…I…don’t know.” Li Yu stammered those three words, his head hanging lower and lower.

    “Really don’t know?” Cen Xi suddenly looked serious, his voice a little deep. “It’s impossible for you not to know anything.”

    “Did someone instruct you?”

    “Li Yu.”

    When Li Yu heard Cen Xi’s words, the defensive line in his heart collapsed.

    “I’m sorry, Cen Xi.”

    He didn’t dare to look at Cen Xi. He knew he had also let SY down. In many people’s eyes, Li Yu’s purpose in joining SY wasn’t pure, and they weren’t wrong. It really wasn’t pure. He just wanted to win a world championship. As it turned out, he did. In his first year with SY, he won his first world championship with the team. But in the following years, the team’s performance got worse and worse.

    Li Yu had originally wanted to leave SY the moment Cen Xi left. With his skill, he couldn’t keep up with the pace of the others in SY at all. Moreover, SY’s breach of contract fee was only 10,000, which he could scrape together. But if he left, his conscience wouldn’t be clear. Cen Xi’s departure was related to him. He had dragged SY into this abyss. The last bit of conscience in his heart wouldn’t allow him to abandon SY and run away.

    But he hadn’t done it on purpose. His mother had been seriously ill that year, and his family couldn’t come up with the huge sum of money. Suddenly, someone told him that as long as he did a few things, they would help him pay for all the medical expenses.

    So, he did a lot of things against his conscience.

    Why against his conscience?

    Because that person told him that Cen Xi was sick.

    Li Yu had to do these things for his mother.

    Putting sleeping pills in Luo Yan’s water to make him fall asleep.

    Listening to Cen Xi tearfully knock on the door outside, shouting for Luo Yan.

    While Luo Yan was asleep, he put the “strawberry” marks that person gave him all over Luo Yan’s neck.

    The next day, under the guise of looking at team messages, he deleted all the messages Cen Xi sent to Luo Yan.

    Throughout this entire process, he watched Cen Xi go crazy and despair.

    He was afraid that things would be exposed after Luo Yan wiped off the “strawberry” marks, but that person told him that Cen Xi wouldn’t show up for the next few days.

    Sure enough, as that person had predicted, Cen Xi stayed in his room for the next few days until the competition started.

    He faced Cen Xi warily during those days, but Cen Xi’s mental state was really bad and he completely ignored him.

    After the competition, he breathed a sigh of relief. Cen Xi didn’t seem to have harmed himself as that person had said.

    Just a bad mental state, that’s all…

    Yes, that’s all…

    Until that person sent him a photo of Cen Xi lying in the intensive care unit.

    Thank you, my purpose has been achieved.

    Immediately afterwards, he was blacklisted by that person.

    Li Yu was the first person in SY to know why Cen Xi had left without a word and why he hadn’t returned for so long.

    This was also why he didn’t go to the hotpot gathering. When he heard Shi Tou and Yang Guang say that SY had found a new sniper, the first person who popped into his head was Cen Xi. He had a hunch that Cen Xi was back. He didn’t dare to go, he didn’t dare to face Cen Xi.
