Chapter 142: Asking for Justice!
Though she was playing against someone she’s never played before, there was no pause in her stone placement. It was as if she didn’t need to think.
Lu Jiahao on the other hand, had a different experience. From beginning to end, his speed slowed down more and more. And more and more sweat formed on his forehead.
After only a few moves were made, the stone he was holding between his fingers fell down. His hands were so sweaty that it slipped out
Ye Fan watched these two and he couldn’t help but exclaim how gentle Qiao Qing was to him in comparison.
But looking at how careless Qiao Qing was acting, he couldn’t help but wonder how it was possible that she wasn’t even giving it her all when her opponent was doing everything he could?
After some time, Lu Jiahao thought over his move for over 30 minutes and still didn’t put anything down. Everyone there finally lost their patience.
“How long are you going to take? Can’t you see that the sky is getting dark? If you don’t put anything down for a year, it doesn’t count as your loss. So what, we’d need to wait here for a year?”
“Yeah! Under regular compet.i.tion rules, you’ve surpa.s.sed your allowed time. How much longer are you going to take? If you don’t know how to play, don’t play. You’re wasting our time.”
Lu Jiahao’s already red face turned even more red. Gritting his teeth, he placed the stone down on what he thought was the best spot.
But the moment he made his move, Qiao Qing’s laughter dashed across, “You lost.”
Lu Jiahao froze, “Where?”
“I overestimated you.” Qiao Qing was cold and then put down her next stone, “I must make this move for you to see? I have been waiting for you to get there for a long time. In the end, you didn’t disappoint.”
Lu Jiahao’s brain buzzed and exploded.
In disbelief, he stared at the positioning of his stones that lost him his game. He opened his lips but couldn’t find anything to say.
Everyone who was watching this match closely boiled!
“We won! We won!”
“That b.a.s.t.a.r.d sure is shocked now. Does his face hurt from being slapped?”
“Sister Qiao is a beast! Sister Qiao vs UCC!”
“...”
At once, Qiao Qing became the legendary hero character who salvaged the City of Brisk’s reputation.
Lu Jiahao stared at her blankly. It took him a long time to find his voice, “Who was the one that figured out the Exquisite Unrivaled Positioning?”
Qiao Qing answered, “You have no right to know.”
“You!” Lu Jiahao was infurirated by her words and all the shame he felt turned into anger as well. He stood up and said to Dong Rui and Zhang Liang, “Let’s go!”
“You think you can just leave?”
Qiao Qing’s collected but threatening tone made Lu Jiahao pause his footsteps.
“My feet and my legs are mine. Why wouldn’t I be able to leave? I partic.i.p.ated in a compet.i.tion, is that illegal?!”
Qiao Qing put down the two stones she was playing with in her hand, and ordered powerfully, “Face the camera and apologize to the City of Brisk for everything you’ve said!”
Everyone below was silent when they heard this. Then, the brims of their eyes felt hot.
Before, they didn’t really believe in Qiao Qing. However, not only did she not make a fuss over the negative things they said, but she even stepped up and taught these three people a lesson. She saved the City of Brisk from utter humiliation, and was now even seeking justice for the city!
At once, everyone felt apologetic and respectful towards Qiao Qing.
Everyone said in unison, “Apologize!”
“Apologize!”
“Apologize!”
Lu Jiahao snickered, “What do you think you are doing? The City of Brisk was only able to produce one talented Go player. Overall, isn’t it still very useless? You want me to apologize? No way in h.e.l.l!”
His words caused everyone’s face to show fury.
Qiao Qing’s cold-looking eyes narrowed. She flicked the stone out of her hand and it flung out, accurately hitting the back of Lu Jiahao’s knee.
With a “thump”, Lu Jiahao’s knees. .h.i.t the ground and his face directly faced the camera and the crowd below.
