Chapter 1533 1532

Lin Fan used three silver needles to awaken Wu Da, which left Li Yi stunned. Didn't the nurse just say that Wu Da was unconscious and would at least take a few days to awaken? Yet Lin Fan, with a swift manipulation, brought Wu Da back to consciousness...

Moreover, the nurse had warned not to disturb Wu Da's recuperation, but Lin Fan then arranged for the players to come in and visit Wu Da, who appeared in excellent spirits, not at all as if the visit disrupted his recovery.

Could it be that the boss is not only wealthy but also highly skilled in medicine?

Otherwise, how else to explain how readily Lin Fan revived Uncle Da?

When Wu Da awoke, the first person he saw was Lin Fan. In his anxiousness, Wu Da said, "Mr. Lin, the players..."

His first concern wasn't for himself, but for the players.

Lin Fan said, "Except for Li Yi's broken leg, the others are fine and will be able to play in two days."

Wu Da was startled, "Li Yi's leg, heavens, will he end up like I did back then?"

Lin Fan smiled, "No, his leg isn't in serious trouble. Once he heals, he can return to the pitch. Even if the doctors can't save him, I will."

Hearing this, Wu Da finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yi said, "Coach, I'm here, I'm fine, you can rest assured."

Wu Da, relieved, said, "It's good you're fine. If you ended up like I did back then, I would feel guilty. As head coach, I should be able to protect you all..."

Lin Fan said, "It's not your fault. Someone wants to harm the players. Their primary target is you, then Li Yi and the others."

Wu Da said, "Who did this?"

Lin Fan said, "We don't know yet, but we'll figure it out sooner or later."

Wu Da said, "Hmm, I'm a bit worried about the match in two days, Mr. Lin. In my current state, I'm probably unable to lead the team, and the players' mindset has certainly been affected. I wish to meet them personally to talk them through it."

Lin Fan said, "Sure, that's fine."

Li Yi worriedly said, "Boss, the nurse said not to disturb the coach's recovery..."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "No worries, the nurse won't find out."

Li Yi: "..."

Lin Fan then went out and called the players into the ward to visit Uncle Da.

Lin Fan found Wu Lei and suggested that Wu Lei replace Li Yi in the upcoming match.

Wu Lei immediately became a bit nervous.

"Boss, I've never played a proper match before. Am I really up for it?" Wu Lei stammered.

Lin Fan patted his shoulder, "You must believe in your ability. It's not because I say you can do it that you can, but because you really can."

Wu Lei, who had long desired the pitch, was greatly encouraged by Lin Fan's words, and he nodded resolutely, "I understand, boss, I'm in!"

Before long, after the players had visited Uncle Da, Lin Fan stepped back into the ward.

"Uncle Da, rest well, I'll take everyone back to the club," Lin Fan said.

Wu Da said, "Hmm, Mr. Lin, I'll leave the players to you. You are more capable than I am, and I have complete trust in you."

His concern was for the players, especially since they're young and the experience might have shattered their mindset, prompting him to advise each one individually.

As for Lin Fan, Wu Da had no concerns.

The opponent aimed to undermine Wu Da, thinking the Yun City Team would lose its backbone with the head coach gone. They were wrong, for even without Wu Da, Lin Fan was there.

With Lin Fan's top-level sports talent, his personal coaching of the Yun City Team would only make them stronger than Wu Da.

Yet, with the sudden head coach change, group assault, and losing a main forward, can the Yun City Team truly stay invincible in the upcoming matches?

Soon, the Yun City Team's attack news spread, becoming a heated news topic that sparked widespread discussion.

Outside views quickly turned pessimistic.

"Yun City Team is done for!"

"Regardless of who the culprit is, they have achieved their goal!"

"Hang City Team is going to crush Yun City Team!"

"Punish the culprit, I say, but after this wave, can Yun City Team recover? I have doubts."

"With the head coach and main player Li Yi both absent, it's like Yun City Team has a broken leg!"

"Bold prediction, could it be that Yun City Team will withdraw from the competition?"

"Ultimately, it makes little difference whether they withdraw or not!"

News reported that Yun City Team had not commented on a substitute head coach, as the matter was confidential, yet they hadn't withdrawn either, suggesting they intended to continue.

Contrastingly, the situation was bright for Hang City Team, as people speculated that they would crush Yun City Team.

Renowned soccer commentator Lu Dong seized the opportunity to jump in with a social media post.

"Yun City Team might have won three warm-up matches, but they are too young and arrogant, which didn't sit well with some. I'm not condoning the violence, just analyzing the cause. This event teaches us not to be too arrogant!"

His words showed schadenfreude towards Yun City Team's plight, with cold mockery.

Lu Dong's comments quickly trended on social media.

Netizens split into factions, quarreling. Some denounced Lu Dong, accusing him of kicking them when they're down and questioning his character, while others agreed with him, even suggesting Yun City Team deserved it.

At this moment, Lin Fan didn't have time to engage in the online squabble.

That evening, Lin Fan received a call from Li Zhen.

"Mr. Lin, we have found those thugs and captured their leader. We can confirm they are outsiders, but the leader is tough and won't confess," Li Zhen reported.

Lin Fan said, "I'll head over."

Li Zhen, who controls the underground of Yun City, merely had to make a call to mobilize informers in every corner of Yun City. As long as these people were in Yun City, they couldn't escape detection.

It's like a Hong Kong thriller where informers play a crucial role in solving cases. Often the informers are minor gangsters.

Li Zhen, who controlled all of Yun City's petty gangsters, essentially owned countless informers.

Lin Fan had already returned to the club with the players and settled them. He then immediately left the club and headed to Li Zhen's Moonlight Leisure Club.

A burly man, tightly bound to a chair, bore evident signs of injury, indicating Li Zhen had already interrogated him.

However, the man remained resilient. Li Zhen hadn't gleaned any valuable information.

Lin Fan approached the man, observed him for a moment, and said, "Brother Zhen, untie this brother."

Even though Li Zhen had expended considerable effort to capture this burly man, even getting personally involved with a few subordinates to pin him down, Li Zhen didn't hesitate to free him. Li Zhen was confident that, before Lin Fan, whether the man was bound or not made no difference; he wouldn't be able to escape.

The burly man was curious about the young man in front of him. Who is he? Daring to untie him—was this not presenting him with a chance?

After untying him.

Lin Fan looked at the burly man and said, "You can speak now."
