Chapter 34 Slap

With goals from Chen Hero and Hamsik, Napoli finally defeated Torino at home. Although Genoa also won their match against Chievo, Napoli still led Genoa by two points, ranking fourth in the league.

However, it was Chen Hero's celebration that sparked heated discussions after the game.

The media generally expressed that they didn't understand, didn't understand why Chen Hero would do this. His relationship with the fans was gradually easing, which was a good thing, so why did he have to reignite his hatred with those hardcore fans?

Even if there were still boos, the boos had greatly diminished. You could hear it from the stadium; cheers usually had the upper hand.

On Chinese websites, many Chinese fans said, "Crazy Winnie the Bear is being stupid again!"

"Idiot Chen Hero lives up to his name!"

"I suspect that those who have done nothing but play football since they were kids don't understand social niceties at all, right? Or is it because he's intellectually deficient that he can only play football and can't do anything else... Otherwise, who would want to send their children to play football these days!"

When interviewed by reporters, Chen Hero arrogantly said that this slap was for those Napoli extremist fans who were still targeting him and booing him. "Yes, it's been a while since I celebrated a goal like this, so I know those people thought I was afraid of them. I'm just reminding them—I will never surrender to their boos!"

This was simply adding fuel to the fire!

The day after Chen Hero's words were published, an anonymous threat letter arrived in his mailbox.

※※※

"Can you tell who wrote this?" Chen Hero asked Cabreras worriedly.

Cabreras was burying her head in studying the threat letter spread out on the table. She shook her head, "Not at all."

The content of the threat letter was simple: "To the reckless Chinaman: When you go out, you better watch your back!"

But the entire letter didn't have a trace of handwriting, because the letter was made up of various letters from magazines and newspapers, making it look colorful.

"I think we should call the police," Cabreras said, looking up.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hero hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, "That won't do!"

"Why?" Cabreras found it strange.

"Uh... You've dealt with those people before. We all know what kind of people the police are. They're just using this as an excuse to ask for money... So finding the police is useless—it's been almost a season, has the guy who sent me the threatening letter with the bullet been caught? No!"

Chen Hero looked at the Napoli police with disgust, as if he couldn't eat whenever their names were mentioned.

Honestly, Cabreras also felt that Chen Hero's disgust was reasonable. Those police hadn't tried their best to protect Chen Hero in the first place. They were only responsible for escorting Chen Hero to training and then back home. At other times, they were listening to the radio and playing games in the car...

She felt that Chen Hero's reason was reasonable.

"Okay, then let's not call the police."

A smile appeared on Chen Hero's face, but it was fleeting. He immediately looked dejected again and said to Cabreras, "You see, Kristin, my hatred with the fans will never disappear! They can't wait for me to die! So, you still have to protect me."

Cabreras looked up at Chen Hero.

When she did, Chen Hero's heart tightened, and he almost jumped up—he was nervous, afraid that Cabreras would see something.

But in the end, Cabreras didn't see anything. She nodded, "Okay, I'll continue to be responsible for your security."

Chen Hero breathed a sigh of relief.

"Starting tomorrow, all the glass in your house will have to be replaced with bulletproof glass."

Chen Hero was taken aback, "Isn't that an exaggeration?"

"It's necessary for your safety."

"Uh... Okay then." Chen Hero agreed. Anyway, as long as it could keep Cabreras by his side, he didn't mind spending money.

"But, I have a request, Kristin," Chen Hero said, "For my safety, from now on, you have to sleep in my bedroom, sleep with me!"

Cabreras glanced at him, "After the bulletproof glass is installed, that won't be necessary."

"Uh..." Chen Hero didn't expect Cabreras to install bulletproof glass, not to protect against the outside, but to protect against himself...

"Okay, okay... But you have to stay with me tonight. There's no bulletproof glass in my room right now!"

"Okay." Cabreras agreed readily. This attitude made Chen Hero start to wonder if his previous inference was correct...

※※※

Today, Chen Hero didn't train in the copy space for once. Instead, he started yawning at 9:30 and said he was going to bed.

To protect his safety, he was going to sleep, and Cabreras naturally had to go to sleep with him.

So, starting at 9:30, the two of them closed the bedroom door and were alone in the bedroom.

Chen Hero wanted Cabreras to sleep on his bed, but Cabreras resolutely refused without mercy, and said that if he insisted on doing so, then she would not sleep in the bedroom.

Chen Hero had to surrender and allow Cabreras to sleep on the floor by the bed.

When Cabreras was lying on the floor fully clothed, Chen Hero noticed that her hand was always on the trigger of the gun...

"I said..."

"Aren't you sleepy, Mr. Chen?" Cabreras asked, opening her eyes.

"I was, but when I see you like this... I'm so scared that I'm no longer sleepy." Chen Hero pointed to the gun in Cabreras' hand. "Like this... Aren't you worried that you'll accidentally fire it in your sleep?"

Chen Hero was worried that Cabreras had habits like Cao Cao, killing people in her sleep.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. It will definitely not hurt you."

I'll be damned if I can rest assured!

Chen Hero muttered in his heart.

"You should put that thing aside... Don't keep holding it in your hand, I'm horrified to look at it."

"That won't do. For your safety, I can't do that." Cabreras refused very firmly. "You just received a threat letter, we can't take it lightly."

Chen Hero really wanted to slap himself—what's called being hoist by your own petard? This is called being hoist by your own petard!

"Actually... It's not that scary, I think maybe it's just the fans venting, and it doesn't mean they'll really do it..."

"I can't gamble on this 'maybe.' My job is to protect your safety. If something happens to you... Please understand me, Mr. Chen."

Cabreras wouldn't let go of the gun in her hand.

Chen Hero was completely speechless.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want... But you can chat with me, right?"

"Aren't you sleepy?"

"I'm afraid of being shot in the head in my sleep!" Chen Hero said unhappily.

"Please rest assured about me, Mr. Chen. I'm a bodyguard, not a killer."

"Then please rest assured about me, okay..." How could Chen Hero not know what Cabreras was guarding against by holding the gun... He felt particularly wronged, how could he be that kind of person? He doesn't like to force things!

"I'm very relieved about you, Mr. Chen. You're overthinking it." When she said this, Cabreras' index finger was still on the trigger, making Chen Hero feel that her words were not convincing at all.

Chen Hero turned over back to the bed, lay on his back, and looked at the ceiling.

"Are you planning to be a bodyguard for the rest of your life, Caristin?" He wasn't sleepy at all, just wanted to chat with Cabreras.

"I don't know."

"What if you get old and aren't agile enough? I'm afraid no one will hire you then, right?"

"I don't know."

"Haven't you thought about finding a good man to marry?"

"I haven't thought about that much."

"I say... You're not a lesbian, are you?"

There was no sound from under the bed.

"Okay, I won't ask that question... What do you think of China?"

"I haven't been there."

"That's a pity. Go to China if you have the chance! My hometown is very beautiful! Do you like pandas? We have a lot of them there! Tell me about your story, okay? Your parents, your family, why did you become a bodyguard..."

"Sorry, that's my privacy."

"Really boring... I'm not a tabloid reporter, I won't sell your privacy for money. Forget it, I'll tell you my story, do you want to hear it?"

"Hmm..."

"'Hmm...' What does that mean? Want to or don't want to?"

"That's your privacy."

"It's my privacy, but I'm happy to tell you. Do you want to hear it? Only say want to or don't want to! If you want to, I'll tell you. If you don't want to, I'll go to sleep and definitely won't bother you anymore!"

There was a minute of silence below, and then a voice sounded, "Want to."

Chen Hero smiled.

"Where should I start... Well, let's start with me beating up that bastard..."

※※※

In the thirty-seventh round of the league, Chen Hero scored another goal in the game. After scoring, he still faced the boos and ran to the extremist fans' side to slap them. The boos grew louder, but Chen Hero ran back with a smug smile on his face.

Thank you, **!

He didn't forget to thank these fans in his heart who cooperated with him so well.

After scoring, Chen Hero's goal count this season had reached twenty-three, still ranking third on the scorer list, while Ibrahimović ranked first in the league scorer list with twenty-five goals.

Chen Hero was two goals away from him, and with only one round left in the league, if he wanted to win the top scorer award, he would have to score three goals in the last round and also ensure that Ibrahimović didn't score.

This was really too difficult...

Many people felt that even if Chen Hero didn't win the top scorer award, it was enough to prove his ability. A striker who only scored six goals in the first half of the league scored seventeen goals in one breath in the second half of the league. Comparing only the scorer list in the second half of the league, he was already the first.

Now everyone was more looking forward to what kind of impact Chen Hero would have on Ibrahimović on the scorer list after the next season arrived.

ps, The monthly ticket list has been exploded, but the gap is not big, borrow a few points of strength from everyone, we can explode it back!

Thank you all!
