At nine in the morning, GOD and the league's official account released statements.

[GOD Club official account: @GOD--bin has seriously violated the law and spread baseless rumors to defame a teammate. His contract has been terminated, and we will cooperate fully with the police investigation. @GOD--Jin will not participate in the upcoming playoffs because she assaulted a teammate while on the roster. The video circulating online is an incomplete clip, and the full video has been submitted to the authorities. We hope everyone will stop damaging our player's reputation. GOD will continue moving forward in the upcoming matches.]

[FKL Realm of the Forbidden Domain Professional League: GOD player @GOD--bin has been permanently disqualified from competition on suspicion of breaking the law. The fight shown in the video of player @GOD--Jin circulating online has been determined to be an act of legitimate self-defense, and she was not at fault. However, because of inappropriate conduct during her interactions with @GOD--bin, the league has decided to suspend her for three months and deduct six months' salary as a warning. We hope everyone will work together to maintain a healthy gaming environment.]

Brother Qian had spent the past two days arguing GOD's case with the tournament organizers, reducing Wu Jin's punishment as much as possible. They had originally decided on a six-month suspension.

Brother Qian had shot to his feet to object, and thanks to his vehement demands and what remained of everyone's conscience, the suspension was finally reduced to three months.

Rules were rigid, but human feelings were flexible. The organizers weren't heartless, and Wu Jin had been a victim in the matter too.

The full video of Wu Jin hitting someone was also released. The person involved had already spent time at the police station, and the authorities had issued a statement confirming it.

Wu Jin had little reaction when she heard the news. She gave a quiet "Oh" and went back to focusing on taking care of Grandma.

The worst she had prepared for was being unable to compete, so she readily accepted the punishment.

After Rong Qiao learned that Grandma Wu was in the hospital, she came to help Wu Jin look after her whenever she had time. Though she didn't get along with her mother-in-law, she didn't want her daughter to wear herself out.

Looking at Old Madam Wu's medical records and bills, she was overwhelmed by conflicting emotions. How had her darling survived all these years...

She crouched outside the ward, her eyes reddening. She owed her daughter far too much. All this time, she had been so sure she knew best, and all this time, she had been running away.

From now on, she would be sure to cherish her darling.

"What? What a huge twist?? Bin broke the law? Holy shit."

"Boo-hoo, I heard from a friend in the scene that the person Jin hit in the video had been following her for over a month and sexually harassed her multiple times. Who could put up with that?!"

"Damn it, the bastard was lucky she didn't beat him to death. If it were me, I'd have hit him even harder than Jin did."

"Just punish our Jin by making her eat a couple bites of cake. Without Jin in the playoffs, I've already lost half my interest."

"Holy shit!! Go check out the Jiangzhou Police Department's new post. Bin actually did drugs!"

A professional player doing drugs was bombshell news, and it immediately drew netizens' attention. Although bin's face was blurred in the video, fans who had followed him for a long time recognized him at a glance.

The young man whose eyes had once been full of ambition to win the championship had become a criminal in an interrogation room.

His fans couldn't describe how they felt. Many were bitterly disappointed and turned against him after leaving the fandom. One major fan even revealed records of transfers to bin totaling over a hundred thousand yuan, prompting netizens to sigh.

When bin was taken to the police station for questioning, he still denied taking drugs. Only after his urine test came back positive did he fall completely silent.

He confessed to everything, from buying dirt on Wu Jin to revealing Grandma Wu's hospital address. Even the police looked at him with disdain.

Everything was laid out clearly online. Bin had become a rat in the street, chased and cursed by everyone. The people who had previously scolded Wu Jin disappeared, and now all the comments were from people feeling sorry for her.

As he was being taken away, he spotted Brother Qian and Shi Mu nearby. He was dazed for a moment, then lowered his head.

He could never face them again, and he had strayed forever from what he had once loved. And all of it was his own doing.

With the starting marksman position vacant, Sun from the second team smoothly became the new starter.

Since Wu Jin was suspended, He Zhen, the second team's top laner, also moved into the villa and temporarily sat beside her.

He Zhen was extremely nervous about suddenly playing in the playoffs, turning it over and over in his mind.

What he had dreamed of night after night had become reality, yet he didn't have the confidence to accept it.

Looking at Wu Jin playing attentively beside him, He Zhen couldn't help sighing.

He was far behind Jin. The revolution had yet to succeed; comrades must keep striving.

He had better get on with practicing!

Shi Mu went out after taking a call and returned with a young woman.

Wantonly let out a "Wow," his eyes darting between Shi Mu and the woman as he smiled an unreadable smile.

Sun took big, bouncy gulps of milk tea, glanced at the two of them, then looked away and went back to his game.

What did the captain dating have to do with an ADC like him?

He Zhen kept stealing glances at them. On the surface, he was perfectly calm, but inside, his mind had already exploded.

Holy shit, it's only my first day here, and I've already stumbled onto a huge piece of gossip about God Mu!!

Clear called out, "Brother Mu, who's this pretty lady you brought?"

Hearing him, Wu Jin tilted her head to look and met Shi Mu's eyes.

Shi Mu smiled faintly and brought the woman over to Wu Jin.

"This is the tutor I found for you. She can give you lessons over these three months."

Teacher Luo gave Wu Jin a warm smile and held out her hand. "Hello, Jin. Starting today, I'll be in charge of your studies."

Luo Li had been a little surprised to learn she would be tutoring a professional player. Her stereotype was that professional players didn't care about their studies.

So she had privately looked up some information about GOD. In the photos, Shi Mu's eyes shimmered, the corners of his eyes and brows tilted slightly upward, and he looked both laid-back and roguishly handsome.

She put down her phone and looked up just as Shi Mu walked in. At that moment, her heart went thump-thump.

She had been thrilled, thinking she would be teaching Shi Mu, but it turned out she would be tutoring another girl.

Still, either way was fine. If she could spend time with Shi Mu, she had a chance to win him over!

Wu Jin gave Shi Mu a long look, then reached out and shook Teacher Luo's hand.

Wantonly gave an exaggerated shudder. "How terrifying. If she can't compete, she has to prepare for the college entrance exam. Our Little A Jin is so pitiful."

To avoid disturbing the team's gaming, she would have lessons six days a week, four hours a day.

Teacher Luo would arrive at the base at nine in the morning, and GOD's players would only get up after the lessons ended.

"The club's paying for it. All you have to do is attend your lessons."

Shi Mu smiled and ruffled Wu Jin's hair.

Today was an exception. Shi Mu had brought the teacher over especially to meet Wu Jin.

So Luo Li wouldn't have come for nothing, Wu Jin put down her headset, took the exercise book from her drawer, and brought the teacher to the lounge for a lesson.

Watching Wu Jin's small, thin figure from behind, Clear sighed loudly.

"Our little sister has to study. As her big brother, I really feel sorry for her!"

Shi Mu chuckled. "Then go with her."

"Sun, you and Wantonly are duo queuing? Let me join you."

Shi Mu: ^.^ Hehe.

Wu Jin's weak subject was chemistry. All those jumbled elements made her head spin, so her notebook of mistakes was filled almost entirely with chemistry.

Luo Li gave Wu Jin a few questions to get a general idea of her level, then patiently began tutoring her from the more basic chemistry concepts.

As a top student at Jiang University, she was very confident she could teach Wu Jin to the level needed for a top-tier university. That was also why she had stood out among so many teachers and been chosen to teach Wu Jin.

She was suddenly deeply moved. Knowledge really was important; it could take care of her future happiness.

As the lesson neared its end, Wu Jin organized her class notes. Luo Li hesitated for a while, then asked softly.

"Jin, can I ask if your captain has a girlfriend?"

Wu Jin's writing hand didn't pause. She shook her head.

No?

A blazing fire sprang up in Luo Li's eyes.

"I don't know."

None of them knew about the captain's private life, and she wasn't interested in it either.

But this teacher had started asking about the captain on her very first day. She had to be...

A suspicious person.

Wu Jin put down her pen. Her notes were finished, and it was just about time for the lesson to end. She had to go train.

Brother Qian saw Teacher Luo off with a beaming smile. Seeing that Luo Li wasn't in high spirits, he wondered if Wu Jin's grades were too terrible.

It was fine. His precious daughter could get whatever score she wanted!

On her way back, Luo Li had mixed feelings.

It looked like she would have to ask Shi Mu about it herself.
