Chen Guo had never been good at controlling her emotions. She laughed when she wanted to laugh, got angry when she wanted to get angry, and crying was even more troublesome. Tears were often the most unreliable things.

Like now, thinking of Ye Xiu's past and state of mind, realizing the pain and helplessness in Ye Xiu's heart, Chen Guo's nose tingled, and she immediately knew that she was definitely going to embarrass herself by crying.

"I'm going to bed." Chen Guo immediately stood up, stomped her foot, and rushed out without rhyme or reason.

Ye Xiu was a little surprised. Knowing Chen Guo, he was prepared to face even more detailed questioning, but who knew that Boss Chen would rush out without rhyme or reason.

Ye Xiu scratched his head and looked at Tang Rou. Tang Rou smiled, stood up, and said, "Then I'll go back to rest too."

"Okay." Ye Xiu nodded, seeing the two girls preparing to leave one after another, he immediately had a cigarette in his mouth.

Tang Rou walked to the door, opened it, suddenly stopped, and turned back to look at Ye Xiu who was seeing her off: "Have you ever regretted running away from home?"

"Never. I just feel a little sorry. If I regretted it, I would have gone back long ago, we're all family." Ye Xiu said.

"You're right." Tang Rou was silent for a moment, then nodded, closed the door and left.

The door to the opposite room was only ajar, but Tang Rou was not in a hurry to enter. She leaned against the wall in the corridor for a while before pushing the door open and entering. She saw Chen Guo lying on the bed, with a pillow under her head, and another pillow on top, burying her head inside like a sandwich cookie.

"Oh, why are you like this? Don't you want your hairstyle anymore?" Tang Rou stepped forward and said. Chen Guo usually wore a ponytail, and doing such a sandwich cookie would be very damaging to her hairstyle.

"You're back..." Chen Guo pulled her head out of the pillow, saying it as if nothing had happened. The tear stains on her face had long been wiped clean by the pillow, but her red eyes were enough to reveal the truth. Tang Rou, however, acted as if she hadn't seen anything, maintaining her usual smile: "Go to bed early!"

Soon, the room was plunged into darkness, but Chen Guo was still staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. Occasionally, a light flickered, and many strange and bizarre shadows could be seen reflected on the ceiling.

"Xiao Tang, are you asleep?" Chen Guo suddenly asked softly.

"Not yet," Tang Rou replied.

"Do you approve of Ye Xiu playing games so recklessly?" Chen Guo asked.

"Yes," was the simple reply.

"But now... he can't play anymore," Chen Guo said.

Silence.

Tang Rou of course understood what Chen Guo meant. For Ye Xiu, the professional league was supposed to be his stage. But now he had retired. At the dazzling All-Star Game, he could only stand on the sidelines as a spectator with the many ordinary viewers. How would he feel at that time?

"It's not over yet!" Tang Rou said.

"Huh?"

"How could someone who is determined to run away from home give up so quickly? His Jun Mo Xiao will definitely stand on that stage again," Tang Rou said.

"Right, Jun Mo Xiao!" Chen Guo thought of that account: "A scattered player style that has never appeared on the top stage, and his self-made weapon, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, will definitely scare a lot of people then, right?"

"Yeah, how interesting!" Tang Rou said.

"But..." Chen Guo still had worries. She had been paying attention to Glory and the Jia Shi team. She watched helplessly as the Jia Shi team declined day by day, and she watched helplessly as the media reported on Ye Xiu's declining state. Although she had some ideas in her heart, so many consistent voices made Chen Guo have a lot of wavering.

"It's not that simple!" Tang Rou said after listening to Chen Guo's concerns.

"How so?" Chen Guo asked, puzzled.

"One time at night..." Tang Rou quickly told about how Liu Hao and his gang came to the internet cafe last time at dawn.

"Such a thing happened!!" Chen Guo jumped up from the bed in surprise.

"So I think there must be a lot of hidden reasons for his retirement," Tang Rou said.

"You're right!" Chen Guo nodded repeatedly.

"But I don't understand the game too much, so I can't guess too much," Tang Rou said.

"Uh... I don't know much about the internal affairs of this club either. But, with Ye Qiu's qualifications and status in Jia Shi, I really don't think that a three-legged cat like Liu Hao could move him," Chen Guo said. Liu Hao, who originally didn't have much ill feeling, and was even quite supported by Chen Guo because he was the vice-captain of Jia Shi, had become just a three-legged cat in the blink of an eye.

"So, relying on these people alone, they can't make any waves. There must be other reasons fueling the flames, right?" Tang Rou said.

"But, in Jia Shi, the only one who could be higher than him is probably their club's boss, right?" Chen Guo said.

"Is it easy for the boss to move him if he really wants to?" Tang Rou said.

"In theory... yes. But, you have to consider a lot of things, such as the stability of the team, the emotions of the fans, the requirements of the sponsors, etc." Chen Guo had never eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run. After paying attention to Glory for so many years, she understood a lot.

"If that's the case, take a look... there are people in the team who have a lot of opinions about him, so if he leaves the team, not only will the team not be in chaos, but it will be more stable, right?" Tang Rou said.

"Ah... as for the sponsors, he never shows his face, so he has no endorsements, and he can't help the sponsors with their tasks and promotions. Even if he's great, he's the most useless one in terms of sponsors..." Chen Guo said.

"As for the fans' emotions... the team's performance is declining, and the captain's state is declining. Those reports you just mentioned, do they often link these things together? Are these reports fair and impartial reports from the real media, or is someone manipulating public opinion in the dark?" Tang Rou said.

Peeling away the layers like silkworms, the two girls discovered the many possibilities that existed in this.

"So, Jia Shi really wants to drive him away?" Chen Guo asked in surprise.

"And it's not just driving him away from the Jia Shi team, they simply want to kick him out of the professional Glory circle," Tang Rou said.

"This... this is too much!!" Chen Guo jumped again. Thinking of Ye Xiu's hidden heavy mood, his hardships along the way, and his creation of the Jia Shi Dynasty for the Jia Shi team, which would inevitably be recorded in the history of Glory, but he was deliberately designed against. Discarding a bow after the bird is shot down, cooking the hound after the rabbit is killed, was nothing more than that.

"I'm so angry." Chen Guo jumped off the bed, ran to get a glass of water, and gulped it all down.

"These are just our guesses!" Tang Rou said.

"I think it's pretty close to the truth. Otherwise, why would he retire for no reason? Declining state? Do you know? Today he used the Dragon Rises Head on the field against that Du Ming! Dragon Rises Head, do you know what that is? You may not know, but this is currently the only operation in Glory that he can use! Although he hasn't used it for a long time, he used it again today. Declining state? That's too much!" Chen Guo said like a machine gun.

"Ah... then I have another analysis here, do you want to hear it?" Tang Rou asked.

"Say it." Chen Guo threw down the water glass, wiped her mouth, and returned to bed.

"He said before that he went home, but it ended unhappily, right?" Tang Rou said.

"Yeah."

"How is the income of Glory professional players? Compared to the average person," Tang Rou said.

"There's no comparison! These guys' contracts are more and more sky-high now, plus all kinds of endorsements and advertisements. The good ones earn more in a year than I would in my internet cafe for a hundred years," Chen Guo said.

"Then Ye Xiu, from the beginning, was a top god in Glory. Even if his family can't understand his achievements, his family should realize, just from his income: even if professional game players have this or that problem, Ye Xiu is an exception. He is already at the top of this professional circle, he shouldn't have this or that concern, right?" Tang Rou said.

"Yeah... right... someone of his status doesn't need to worry too much," Chen Guo said.

"But, the result was still an unhappy ending, so I'm thinking, his family is probably not an ordinary family. The status and income of a Glory professional player, put into his home, have no persuasiveness at all," Tang Rou said.

"Could this guy be a rich second generation?" Chen Guo asked in surprise.

"It's hard to say, but I think his family background should be simple. Political circles, business circles, or a scholarly family, in short, his future was clearly planned from birth. There may be some room for choice, but a professional electronic game player? That option probably doesn't exist at all. So, no matter how great his achievements in this area are, he will never get family recognition," Tang Rou said.

"That makes sense." Chen Guo nodded repeatedly.

Tang Rou was silent for a while, and when she saw that Chen Guo didn't have any follow-up associations, she had to continue: "Let's think more boldly, if Ye Xiu can't get along in this circle, where will he go? Is going home one of the options?"

At this point, Chen Guo suddenly understood: "You mean, his forced retirement may also have family factors in it?"

"Yeah... I have this suspicion," Tang Rou said.

"This..." Chen Guo didn't know what to say. If it was just Jia Shi scheming there, she could support Ye Xiu with confidence and despise Jia Shi. But if this was actually Ye Xiu's family playing tricks, then it became a family affair, and she had no position to say anything. In what capacity? Fan? Ye Xiu's current boss?

"If it's really his family pushing things behind the scenes, then his family's background is even more extraordinary... Perhaps, from the address on his ID, we can find clues to his family background, or rather, his family background," Tang Rou said.

Chen Guo was stunned, and after a long time, she said: "I just realized that you are more talented than me when you gossip."
