Chapter 1089 - 1087: Conspiracy
Lin Feng successfully picked up Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, and took them straight back to Ding Yi’s villa. Considering that students might come in at any time, Lin Feng did not activate the God-Annihilating Death Formation but merely activated part of the Nine Directions Heavenly Maze Formation. It was sufficient just to cover up the aura of the Ancient Spirit Qi, so they encountered no obstacles on the way.
The trio walked into Ding Yi’s villa where three old men were playing chess undisturbed, so they did not interrupt but went into a room and started chatting. The conversation initially revolved around mundane family affairs, and they checked on the well-being of the two ladies before Lin Feng changed the topic.
"Has the exchange group from Dongjing University caused any trouble lately?" Lin Feng asked the two women seriously. He’d been preoccupied with the formation these past few days and had overlooked the matter of Dongjing University’s exchange group. Recalling the issue, he suspected they had malicious intentions and did not want Yingbo University to suffer.
"It’s been steady; they’re entirely focused on preparing for the exchange competition with no issues," replied Ding Wan’er succinctly. She too found Dongjing University’s current behavior strange given their usual patterns.
"Lin Feng, both Ding Girl and I have felt something off in the past few days, but can’t quite pinpoint what it is," Leng Mei added from the side. They shared the suspicion that Dongjing University was likely conspiring something, yet they couldn’t figure out what it was.
"What are the events for this exchange?" Lin Feng, hearing their words, nodded and inquired casually. If the plot was that easy to discover, it wouldn’t be very devious. Since the two women couldn’t find it, he would help them.
"There are three events scheduled for this exchange, one each day starting from tomorrow: intellectual calculation, performance, and basketball. In the first event, it’s clear that they intend to win. Dongjing University has a world champion in intellectual calculation who has broken the Guinness World Record. With that person participating, Yingbo University has little chance of winning," explained Ding Wan’er.
"The second event, the performance, is harder to predict and it’s anybody’s game. The third event is basketball, where Yingbo University has an advantage. The basketball team from Yingbo has swept through other college teams nationwide, becoming NO.1 among college teams. Even against Dongjing University’s team, we’re most likely to win."
"But both Sister Leng and I feel something is off, despite discussing it for two days, we haven’t managed to identify the problem. Could you analyze it for us?" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, Ding Wan’er quickly laid out the current situation, hoping Lin Feng would help them see the opposition’s aim so they wouldn’t fall prey to any schemes unknowingly.
After listening to Ding Wan’er, Lin Feng smiled, seeing clear signs of an issue, though well-hidden.
"Think about it more carefully, is their selection too accommodating to what you want? Knowing that Yingbo University’s basketball team is strong, they still decided to go with basketball. There must be a catch. If they win the first event, and then find a way to win the basketball game, wouldn’t the situation change? If there are some tricks up their sleeve in the performance event and they win that too, all three events would be lost!"
Lin Feng spoke calmly, simply sharing his thoughts. Given the women’s intelligence, they were bound to grasp his meaning. If he were Dongjing University, he would pick the opponent’s weakest points, not their strongest, for the exchange events. This didn’t align with logical thought — if there was nothing behind it, that would be truly odd.
With Lin Feng’s explanation, the women had an epiphany, knowing that there was definitely an issue, yet they still didn’t understand what Dongjing University could do during the performance and basketball events...
Seeing that the women were still puzzled, Lin Feng took out his phone and tapped it a few times, revealing several pieces of information. He then handed his phone to Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, indicating for them to read for themselves.
You Daizi from the Mission Group had secretly contacted Dongjing University.
Rumors have it that You Daizi will attend Dongjing University.
...
Reading the contents on the phone, both Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei looked at each other with doubtful eyes. They were well aware of You Daizi’s identity — she was the soul of the latest hot Asian group, Mission Group. Almost nobody in Asia didn’t know her; her influence had spread across the entire continent. She was a significant figure in the world recently, and the fact that she might be connected to Dongjing University was something they had never imagined.
"If this You Daizi makes an appearance at Yingbo University, with this woman’s acting skills and charm, do you still think Yingbo University stands a chance of winning?" Looking at the disbelief on both women’s faces, Lin Feng said with a smile, knowing that he must make Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei realize just how dire the situation is now.
"No... That can’t be possible, these are just rumors..." After listening to Lin Feng’s words, Ding Wan’er immediately stated her view. She thought it couldn’t be possible; if it were true, the news would have already leaked out, how could there only be rumors.
"I also think it’s somewhat unlikely. You Daizi’s worth is too high, and she is an artist. Dongjing University doesn’t have the means to invite You Daizi," added Leng Mei as she frowned, expressing her opinion. She also seemed to find it implausible as You Daizi’s worth was now in the millions of US Dollars, Dongjing University couldn’t possibly be bringing in You Daizi just for this exchange event.
"It’s very simple." Hearing the two women speak, Lin Feng smiled, said a simple sentence then took his phone back. After a few taps, in the blink of an eye, he searched for the content needed and threw the phone back to the women.
Seeing the content on Lin Feng’s phone, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were completely dumbfounded. It showed You Daizi’s recent itinerary and flight route, and indeed, on the day of the competition, she was to take a flight to Tianhai. These were matters that had never been announced to the public, clearly, it was a secret visit to Tianhai intended to catch Yingbo University off guard.
How... how are we supposed to deal with this? If You Daizi really does come, then Yingbo University is truly doomed. Even winning the basketball game would still mean a loss...
Just as the two were thinking about the basketball game, Lin Feng’s voice came again.
"If I calculate correctly, the basketball game likely also has such issues." Lin Feng said very seriously. If You Daizi had chosen to move in secret, then it’s impossible for the basketball game to be free from tampering; this was a certainty.
"That seems highly unlikely, our school team is already strong enough, and their strength far surpasses Dongjing University’s team. How could there be a problem?" Hearing Lin Feng say this, Ding Wan’er, who already looked distressed, seemed even more upset as she spoke. Honestly, she struggled to believe that there could be a problem with the basketball team too; if there was, Yingbo University would truly be humiliated this time.
Thinking this, Ding Wan’er became incredibly anxious. Even though Leng Mei didn’t say anything, her face also turned icy. If the situation was as Lin Feng described, it was truly terrible, and laughably, she and Ding Wan’er hadn’t noticed anything.
"I only trained them with the most basic techniques. It’s fine for domestic play, but if the other side has some professional players or strong foreign aids, the situation may be uncertain." Lin Feng shook his head. Ding Wan’er’s thinking was too simplistic. In that case, he would just show her and Leng Mei everything.
After speaking, Lin Feng held his phone again, his fingers danced over the screen. Soon, he had hacked into Dongjing University’s computer network system, pulled up video surveillance of a few foreign basketball experts practicing, and the most important thing was, through the videos, he could tell these people were well beyond ordinary; they exhibited signs of cultivation and might have been suppressing their strength for a sudden burst of power.
Then, he tossed the phone to the two women, letting them see for themselves. Some things are better seen with your own eyes, especially something as critical as this.
Upon seeing the videos in Lin Feng’s phone, both women were shocked. They didn’t expect Dongjing University to have such strong foreign aids. Even though they didn’t play basketball, they could tell how powerful these players were. This... this was bad news!
"These are Dongjing University’s foreign aids, how about it, pretty strong, right? And to add, they have likely undergone some form of cultivation, usually suppressing their true strength. Our team facing such people will undoubtedly be doomed!" Watching the women stand there in a daze, Lin Feng added further, hoping they would fully understand Dongjing University’s scheme.
"That’s... that’s outrageous, they are so shameless!"
"I never imagined, Dongjing University would harbor such deep schemes, these people are wolves in sheep’s clothing!"
At this moment, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were livid with rage, full of fury, they finally understood the intentions behind Dongjing University’s plans. They were going to crush Yingbo University, and if everything proceeded according to the original plan, Yingbo University would undoubtedly suffer a complete loss, embarrassing themselves in front of other universities worldwide!
Thinking of this, both their faces turned exceedingly ugly, never would they have expected Dongjing University to be so malicious, using such a method to take Yingbo University by surprise and set a trap...
