A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 56 Ball God

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "I've loved playing basketball since I was a child. Compared to them, it's a piece of cake. Let's all work harder and regain all the face we lost before."

"OK, no problem!"

The Yongshou Company players, who were in high spirits and thought winning the game was a sure thing, were completely thrown off balance by an unexpected opponent. They were all sweating profusely and looking tense.

"Wah Jai, who's that kid? He's so capable, is he Judge Lu?"

Zhang Junhua glared at Chao Bufan and said angrily, "Hmph, does he really think he's some kind of football god, Lu the Judge? Don't panic, everyone, the game isn't over yet, and it's still uncertain who will win or lose."

Actually, Zhang Junhua was the most nervous among them. He had placed an off-site bet of 500,000 yuan. If he lost this match, all that 500,000 yuan would be wasted.

"Wah Jai, what do you suggest we do? They've overtaken us by so much now."

Zhang Junhua thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll guard that kid. You guys hold your ground and try to pass the ball to Xiao Liu and Xiao Gu as much as possible. Xiao Liu, Xiao Gu, don't hesitate, shoot whenever you have a chance, and if you really can't, just pass it to me. I've got this kid figured out!"

"OK, no problem."

A moment later, the referee blew the whistle, and all the players re-entered the court. Yongshou Company's team inbounded the ball, and Zhang Junhua received it. He immediately dribbled towards the opponent's basket, but Chao Bufan quickly moved to block him. Zhang Junhua knew Chao Bufan's jumping ability was far superior to his own, especially his three-point shooting, which was unerring. He wasn't in a hurry and wanted to dribble past his opponent, but Chao Bufan intercepted the ball with astonishing speed, slapped it twice, and then leaped upwards. Slightly startled by the unexpected steal, Zhang Junhua didn't have time to think and decisively jumped up, trying to block Chao Bufan's shot, but Chao Bufan knocked him away, sending him crashing into the basket and falling to the ground with a thud. The ball went in.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew his whistle and called a blocking foul on the opposing team.

At this point, Xiao Liu and his teammates were furious and immediately started yelling at the referee: "Referee, didn't you see? This kid clearly bumped into someone first."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lü Tie and the others quickly surrounded them.

"Bufan, are you alright?"

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "It's nothing."

The other person asked, "Andy Lau, are you alright?"

Zhang Junhua struggled to his feet, shoved aside Xiao Liu who was about to help him, and yelled, "Stop yelling, I was the one who fouled first."

One free throw, Chao Bufan casually tossed the ball forward, and it went in.

Off the court, Yang Li and Zhou Di had arrived at some point. When they saw Chao Bufan's incredibly cool shooting motion, the two girls screamed continuously, their eyes filled with admiration.

When the referee blew the final whistle, everyone in the Tang Group cheered and jumped for joy.

In the end, Tang's Group won the game perfectly with a score of 180:74. The opponent only managed to score a pitiful two points in the second half. This result was truly appalling!

"Yay! I've finally regained my dignity! Awesome, awesome!" Big Mouth jumped up and shouted excitedly.

As soon as the match ended, those in the Tang Group who were betting on the sidelines were overjoyed. With odds of 1 to 5, they made a small fortune.

"See that? The chairman is something else. What's this called again? This is called the God of Football."

"What? Are you sure you're not mistaken? He's our chairman?"

"What? Don't tell me you didn't know!"

"Hey, hey, hey, is he... is he really the chairman of our Tang Group?"

"Yeah, didn't you notice that the cars they drive are all different from the others?"

"Wow, wow! The new chairman is so young! He's so handsome!"

"What? You've taken a liking to our chairman?"

"Go away, who...who said they like the chairman?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get the money!"

"Yes, yes, take the money, one to five, hahaha, luckily I had the foresight to bet 60,000 on our company winning, now we have no choice but to make money."

"What's that compared to what I bet? I wagered a full 100,000."

"Damn, I didn't expect you to be even more ruthless than me!"

……

In just a moment, those from the Tang Group who were betting on the sidelines took their receipts and collected their money.

Big Mouth approached Chao Bufan with the receipts in hand, exclaiming with envy, "Tsk tsk, Bufan, ten million!"

Lu Tie asked in confusion, "What ten million?"

Big Mouth chuckled and said, "You guys don't know yet! During the second quarter break, Bufan asked me to place two million in bets on him. With odds of 1 to 5, tell me, what else could that be but ten million?"

"Huh?" Everyone was startled. Guan Gong exclaimed in surprise, "Bu Fan, how could you... Oh my god, what a pity, what a pity! Why didn't you tell us? We could have at least placed some bets."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "You didn't ask me."

Lu Tie shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "Tsk tsk, so you're the biggest winner after all. Ma Kun is in for a lot of trouble now."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan asked, puzzled, "Who is Ma Kun?"

Manager Wang continued, "It's that guy who runs the illegal gambling operation. He's the son of the CEO of Yongshou Company. I heard he runs an underground gambling den, and he's the one who started the illegal gambling operation."

Lu Tie raised an eyebrow and said, "Then, Zhang Junhua and the others have arrived."

Zhang Junhua and his colleagues approached Lü Tie and the others, looking dejected. Zhang Junhua, still defiant, said, "Lü Tie, you guys are something else! You found such a capable person to help you. Where did this kid come from?"

Just as Lü Tie was about to speak, Chao Bufan spoke first, laughing, "What? You're not convinced you lost the match?"

Zhang Junhua was a straightforward man, and said with a smile, "I am quite dissatisfied, but don't be smug. In the next competition, I will make you pay us back with interest. Director Lü, here is your prize money, 800,000. Do you want to check it?"

Zhang Junhua handed over a bank card, which Lü Tie took and said with a smile, "There's no need to check. We've known each other for a long time."

Zhang Junhua nodded, then waved to his colleagues: "Let's go!"

Lu Tie beamed with delight, in high spirits: "Let's go, everyone, let's head to the Heaven and Earth food stall!"

"okay!"

After dinner, Xu Huaiyuan said, "It's still early, why don't we all go to Dilong Bar and have some fun!"

Lu Tie and Chao Bufan naturally had no objections, but Manager Wang and his group made an excuse to leave.

"Huh? Where's Big Mouth?" Guan Gong said, looking around. "That guy left halfway through his meal, and we haven't seen him since. Did he fall into the toilet?"
