He was not a fool, nor was he someone who easily trusted others.
Ling Tengyun had been so annoying before, but now he had suddenly become so open-minded. Such a thing, no matter how you thought about it, smelled fishy.
Therefore, Wu Tian directly said, "What exactly do you want to do? Do you think a few simple words from you can make us change our opinion of you?"
"If you think that, aren't you underestimating me too much?"
Ling Tengyun said, "Wu Tian, I know we had a lot of conflict before, but don't you have to give me a chance to reform, right?"
"I know I was wrong, so please believe me, okay?"
"How about this, to show my sincerity, I'll let you be the captain of the China team."
"Also, tonight I'll treat everyone to a high-class Japanese meal. What do you think?"
Before Wu Tian could speak, his teammates said, "Wu Tian, I think Ling Tengyun's attitude is very good this time."
"I think he genuinely knows he was wrong? Everyone makes mistakes, so this time, let's give him a chance, how about it?"
Wu Tian still didn't believe Ling Tengyun in his heart.
But hearing everyone say that, he didn't raise any more objections. He nodded and said, "Alright, but I have to remind you, don't play any tricks."
"Otherwise, I won't let you off."
Ling Tengyun nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, how could I play tricks? I know your abilities, and even if you gave me ten more guts, I wouldn't dare."
"Besides, I'm Chinese. If the China team wants to win this competition, we'll have to rely on you even more."
"So rest assured, if you have any needs, I will do my best to cooperate with you."
Wu Tian said, "Cooperate with me? Fine, I'm thirsty now, pour me a glass of water."
Everyone was stunned.
One teammate couldn't help but say, "Wu Tian, you're not still angry with him, are you?"
"Although he really went too far, I don't think it's necessary to do something like this!"
Wu Tian said indifferently, "He himself said he would cooperate with me. Now I'm thirsty, can't he even help me with this?"
"If he's not even willing to do something like this, then I'm sorry, I can't believe his so-called repentance."
Deep in Ling Tengyun's eyes, a trace of imperceptible malice flashed.
But on the surface, he still smiled and said, "I understand. As long as you can forgive me, Wu Tian, I am very willing to serve you with such a small matter."
After speaking, Ling Tengyun honestly brewed a cup of tea for Wu Tian.
Wu Tian took a sip of the tea and then nodded with satisfaction, "That's more like it. We're all teammates, we should cooperate with each other."
"Since you're back today, we welcome you. So here, I wish the upcoming matches go smoothly!"
Everyone poured tea and raised their cups, echoing Wu Tian's words.
And amidst this laughter and joy, a sinister curve appeared on Ling Tengyun's lips.
After finishing the cup, Ling Tengyun was considered to have rejoined the team.
And that evening, as agreed, Ling Tengyun took everyone to a high-class Japanese restaurant.
Although Japanese cuisine is not as good as Chinese food culture, it is still quite famous.
Ling Tengyun specifically booked a private room, and the group sat inside to eat.
Japanese dishes look exquisite, but the problem is the small portions.
Many times, the plate looks quite large, but in reality, there is only a little food in the middle, which is quite disappointing.
However, to be fair, the taste of the dishes was quite good, so everyone didn't complain too much.
Ling Tengyun was like a different person from before. He was gloomy and narrow-minded, and there was nothing likable about him.
But at this moment, he looked so enthusiastic, always with a smile on his face, making people think he had been possessed by something.
After eating for half an hour, Ling Tengyun called for a bottle of sake and said, "Come, come, everyone, let's drink."
"This Japanese sake is famous for being good, and the one I ordered is the best among sake. The taste must be very good."
A teammate shook his head, "Let's forget it. We have a competition tomorrow, so it's not suitable to drink today."
"Besides, the competition isn't over yet, why rush to drink? It doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"
Ling Tengyun laughed, "What's not suitable about it? Drink when you should, consider it my apology to everyone."
As he said this, he specifically poured a glass of wine for Wu Tian, then raised his glass and said, "Come, Wu Tian, I'm truly sorry for offending you before."
"I toast you with this cup, and let's consider it settled."
Wu Tian looked at the cup and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why are you so eager? You didn't put poison in this wine, did you?"
Ling Tengyun's face stiffened for a moment, then he forced a smile and said, "No, what are you talking about? This wine is fine, how could it be poisoned?"
"Besides, you saw it yourself, I asked the waiter for it. How could the wine in this restaurant have any problems?"
A teammate also said, "Yes, Wu Tian. I know you have a problem with Ling Tengyun, but he wouldn't do something like this, would he?"
"After all, poisoning is illegal, he wouldn't be that foolish no matter what."
Wu Tian laughed again, "Don't be so nervous. I was just making a little joke. Come, bottoms up."
After speaking, Wu Tian drank the wine in one gulp.
Then, Ling Tengyun toasted the other teammates. They ate and drank, and only returned after two hours.
Overall, the quality of tonight's gathering was quite good.
After returning to the hotel, everyone slept soundly and went to the competition venue the next morning.
Despite drinking the night before, the team members looked in good spirits.
When they arrived at the venue, the other teams were already in place.
With only four teams left, the venue seemed much quieter.
The competition had reached this stage, and there was nothing more to say. The referee directly began to organize the match.
The Xin Jian Bo team came up, and soon everyone noticed that this team only had four people!
For this reason, a teammate couldn't help but ask, "I remember Xin Jian Bo had five people, why is one missing now?"
The referee explained, "One of the Xin Jian Bo team members has withdrawn from the competition, but they still have five people."
"And it's your China team that is missing one person."
