In truth, Qin Shaofeng knew Du Meng's personality well.
He knew that after someone blocked Du Meng, Du Meng would definitely feel disgruntled and vent a little.
Normally, that would have been no big deal. But just after the student referee announced Du Meng's victory, Qin Shaofeng noticed a strange glint in the referee's eyes as he stared at Du Meng.
Qin Shaofeng understood at once. The referee was probably planning to make a move against Du Meng.
If Du Meng really did attack the student referee, the referee would have an excuse to strike back.

As he spoke, Qin Shaofeng eagerly held out his Student Token.
The student referee paused. Only then did he remember the wager Wang Wenhao and Du Meng had made for their match.
He couldn't
