160: Chapter 159 Undermining the Foundation 160: Chapter 159 Undermining the Foundation In this sort of minor competition, there was no such thing as professional video recording equipment, and the referee had no way to review footage to determine fault.
The call had to be made based on intuition.
But the indisputable fact was that someone from the police department lay on the ground, so the referee could only call an offensive foul and issued a warning before announcing the start of the game.
The people from the Ministry of Public Security were certainly not satisfied with this call.
Their player was lying on the ground, yet all they got was a foul call?
Was this underestimating the people’s police?
But since the referee had already made the call, they felt powerless to argue.
Song Yun patted the injured teammate and asked, “You okay?
If you are, just hang in there for one more minute.
We need to see this through.”
“I’m fine,” the injured player muttered, covering his mouth.
“Watch me avenge you,” Song Yun glared coldly at the opponent gearing up to attack.
Suddenly, like a ghostly shadow, he surged forward, intercepting and charging in one breath.
Before anyone could react, the Armed Police Department player who had been knocked over was sent flying even worse than Song Yun’s teammate.
Song Yun had used a clever force; although it was just a simple legal charge, his inner strength had traveled through his arm into the opponent.
If that Armed Police player could get back up and continue the game, Song Yun would unscrew his own head and kick it around like a ball.
“Referee!
That kid did that on purpose as revenge!” the captain from the Armed Police Department shouted.
The referee came over and, upon inspection, saw that the collision had seriously injured the player, with at least one arm showing signs of a fracture.
However, Song Yun’s speed had been too fast to determine his actual intent.
Then, from the stands, someone from the Armed Police shouted, holding up a phone, “I’ve got it on video!
He’s the one who collided with our man.”
After watching the video a few times, the referee said, “This is considered a legal charge.
After all, the guy from the Ministry of Public Security barely touched your player.
It doesn’t constitute a foul.”
Now the Armed Police Department’s side erupted in fury.
Their player had been hit so hard he broke a bone, and it was still considered a legal charge?
What, was the other side using the “Yiyang Finger”?
A light touch and their bones shatter?
But the evidence was clear for all to see.
After the Armed Police reviewed the video, they noticed that Song Yun really had only touched their player lightly.
How could such a gentle touch send someone flying backwards?
Song Yun couldn’t help but snicker to himself.
Did they really think they could catch him slipping?
They’d need to practice for a few more decades before trying again.
With one player down, the opposition had to randomly pick someone from the stands to substitute.
The game resumed with only half a minute left.
Song Yun had the ball, but he didn’t rush towards the opposite end.
Instead, he stood under his own basket, while the five guarded him like tigers eyeing their prey.
Song Yun merely shrugged his shoulders and stood still.
Just when the shot clock was about to run out, he casually threw the ball with his right hand.
Seeing this, everyone from the Armed Police department breathed a sigh of relief.
This must be some kind of joke; how could someone score from under their own basket?
It seemed the kid had lost his marbles.
But the joke was on them.
Song Yun had fooled them all as the ball swished through the net.
The entire stadium erupted, and everyone from the Ministry of Public Security stood cheering for their victory.
They had finally broken the curse and defeated the Armed Police Department.
They wouldn’t have to endure any more embarrassment on future missions.
As for the people in the stands from the Armed Police Department, they drooped like frostbitten eggplants.
Minister Zhu let out an awkward chuckle and said, “It seems you have no shortage of talent in the Ministry of Public Security.
We’ve lost the game this time.
That youngster’s too incredible.
To think he could launch, no, fling the ball in from five or six meters away.
Old Wang, you sure he’s not some professional you’ve hired?”
“Haha, just luck, it was all luck,” Wang Dong said with a chuckle.
“The competition has ended perfectly.
Thank you for the resources you’ve provided our Ministry of Public Security.”
Minister Zhu shook his head helplessly, “The resources are a small matter.
Call that kid over later; I’d like to have a proper chat with him.”
“Hey, Minister Zhu, you’re not planning to poach our talent, are you?
That wouldn’t be right,” Wang Dong feigned surprise, but inside he was thinking, There’s no way Song Yun could be poached so easily, especially with Li Shishi’s close relationship here.
The Armed Police Department doesn’t have any attractive girls; how could they possibly lure him away?
“People climb to higher places and water flows to lower ones, it’s time to give the younger generation some opportunities.
Whether he follows me or not is another matter,” Minister Zhu was quite confident about getting Song Yun.
You see, both the Armed Police Department and the Ministry of Public Security were under the same big umbrella of the Ministry of Public Security.
However, in terms of strength and resources, the Armed Police Department was the more advantageous.
He couldn’t believe that a clever-looking young fellow like Song Yun would refuse the bright path he was laying out for him.
Song Yun gave high-fives to his teammates before walking over to Li Shishi amid the admiration and cheers.
He flashed a mischievous smile and said, “Shishi, you haven’t forgotten about your promise, have you?
I did lead us to victory.”
“Oh, are you in a hurry?
Do you want it now?” Li Shishi asked with her large innocent eyes fixed on Song Yun.
“Now?
It isn’t very crowded here now.
If you’re planning to bite me, I’d feel very embarrassed.
Let’s talk about this when we get back to the courtyard tonight.
Whether you come to my room, or I go to yours, is all fine.
Or maybe I’ll sneak around the corner in the middle of the night,” Song Yun said with a bashful face.
“What are you talking about?
I don’t understand…” Li Shishi feigned ignorance.
Suddenly catching on, her cheeks flushed as she scolded, “You have such a dirty mind!
I was only talking about the obvious meaning, really.”
“Haha, I meant that too.
I was just kidding around,” Song Yun chuckled wryly.
“Let’s finish up with the Armed Police Department and then head home.
We’ve been delayed here for too long.”
The basketball issue had been resolved, but Song Yun couldn’t help feeling a tad nervous about the phone he had left on the table.
Hopefully, the two nosy girls back at the courtyard wouldn’t be overly curious.
