Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Basketball Match

Father’s words left Jin Yu stunned.

His father would never bring up someone without good reason.

Jin Yu said, "Could his elder brother be some important figure?"

Jin Yu’s father shook his head and said, "His elder brother, Chu Tian, isn’t what you’d call an important figure, but for our Jin Family, he’s the most significant person of all."

Jin Yu furrowed his brows, "Father, I don’t understand what you mean."

Jin Yu’s father said, "You should be clear about how our Jin Family rose to power. Although we seem prosperous on the surface, we are nothing more than puppets. If our Jin Family wants to break free from the fate of being puppets, we must take control of the core of the Holy Stele."

Jin Yu seemed to realize something, his eyes widening in shock, "Dad, are you saying that the core of the Holy Stele might be in the hands of Chu Feng, my elder brother? Where is he now?"

The new energy technology that the Jin Family controlled stemmed from something called the "Holy Stele."

However, the Jin Family didn’t actually know what this "Holy Stele" was. The person who provided the technology to the Jin Family also forbade them from making contact with the "Holy Stele."

So, even though the Jin Family appeared to be thriving, they were still under someone else’s control in reality.

Jin Yu’s father said, "His elder brother is already dead, but after many years of investigation, I’ve found out that his elder brother was the only one who had ever come into contact with the true ’Holy Stele.’ Therefore, I’m not sure if he left anything behind. I’m telling you to be patient now because I don’t want to draw Chu Feng’s attention. I need to find out if they really have in their possession the key technology of the ’Holy Stele.’ I don’t want you to startle the snake by hitting the grass, now you understand why I’ve asked you to be patient?"

After hearing his father’s words, Jin Yu nodded heavily, "Dad, I understand. I know what to do."

Jin Yu’s father nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face, "If our Jin Family truly wants to break free of control, to rise and become a noble family of real significance, perhaps even a great clan, we must rely on the power of the ’Holy Stele.’ Now that we have a lead, I can only ask you to bear with it. However, father promises you, once I have clarified everything, you can do as you wish with that boy."

Jin Yu said, "Dad, I understand. I will try to avoid him from now on, and let him continue his struggles with the Wu Family."

Jin Yu’s father nodded, "Son, you’ve truly grown up. Remember, impatience can spoil great plans. Our ancestors in the Jin Family have always protected the secret of the gold mine through continuous forbearance. If our Jin Family wants to rise to power in this generation, we too need that forbearance."

Jin Yu nodded forcefully, a sharp glint in his eyes.

...

The next day at noon marked the official start of the basketball game.

The basketball competition began with inter-departmental matches within the college, and then the strongest team was selected for inter-collegiate competitions.

As all the freshmen’s first competition after enrollment, everyone took it very seriously.

After over a week of training, Chu Feng’s entire class was very confident about winning, especially with Tie Mu, a center comparable to an NBA player, victory seemed hardly a problem.

As soon as noon arrived, Chu Feng’s class in the School of Business and Commerce had already gathered in full force.

Boys not participating in the match took up the responsibility for logistics support—preparing various drinks, sunshades, and so on well in advance.

The girls, organized by Xue Yafang, formed a vibrant and beautiful cheerleading squad.

After Chu Feng directed the boys to set everything up, a series of whistles could be heard.

Looking up, Chu Feng and the others saw the cheerleaders walking towards them.

Their ultra-short skirts, the tops barely covering their chests, a combination of wild and sexy, and especially those pairs of bare, white thighs, made everyone’s mouth water.

Xue Yafang led the way, her slender and straight beautiful legs absorbing all the male gazes like a black hole.

"Gurgle!"

This was the sound of a male student swallowing his saliva.

"Today’s your lucky day, boys. If all of us beauties put in our best effort to cheer you on and you still don’t win, then you guys might as well never look up in our class again," Xue Yafang said as she walked over with the cheerleading squad, addressing the boys who looked like lovesick puppies.

"Don’t worry, we’ll fight until we’re spitting blood if we have to, but we’re definitely going to win this game," said Chen Peng, the team captain for this match.

Chen Peng, being the best basketball player among them, naturally assumed the position of team captain.

Xue Yafang continued, "Don’t be too confident. Do you even know who you’re up against today? I’ve done some scouting for you. It’s Information Management Class One."

"What! Our first opponent is Information Management Class One!" Chen Peng’s face fell when he heard Xue Yafang’s words.

"Is there something special about Information Management Class One?" Chu Feng inquired.

With his head hanging, Chen Peng replied, "Information Management Class One is known as the class most likely to become our Business School champions, and they’re also a strong contender for the overall school championship. Four of the five starting players in their class have joined the college team, and the strongest player was selected for the university team as soon as he enrolled. He’s already secured a spot as starting shooting guard."

After hearing this, Chu Feng hadn’t anticipated the strength of their opponent, but he still managed a slight smile, patted Chen Peng on the shoulder, and said, "Don’t worry about it. Just do your best."

Chen Peng could only respond with a bitter smile, having to face such a strong team in the first round, they could only give it their all.

"Everyone, go warm up a bit. Let’s show the ladies all we’ve got before the big shots arrive, so they won’t be disappointed," Chu Feng cheerfully encouraged everyone.

Boosted by Chu Feng’s words, the other six players perked up and began their warm-up exercises.

"Sisters, let’s get over there and cheer them on, give them a bit more confidence," Xue Yafang suggested to the others.

"Sure!"

Following that, Xue Yafang and her group performed the well-rehearsed cheerleading routine, once again capturing the attention of all the males at the basketball court.

Feeling envious and jealous gazes, Chen Peng and the others felt quite proud of themselves.

"Brothers, we’ve got to go all out this time. So what if they’re from the university and college teams? We’re no less worthy, and we have our NBA-level player Tie Mu!" Chen Peng rallied his teammates.

"Boss, I’ve come to cheer you on too." Xiao Pang, accompanied by Xi Yun, came running over to find Chu Feng.

Chu Feng noticed Xiao Pang seemed much more spirited and asked, "Doesn’t your class have a game today?"

"Our match is next week. It’s so lively over here, and there are so many beautiful girls," Xiao Pang commented.

Before he could finish, Xiao Pang felt the fat on his waist being twisted several times.

"My dearest wife, I was just joking. No beauty can match even one ten-thousandth of your charm," Xiao Pang quickly turned his head and begged for mercy.

Blushing at Xiao Pang’s words, Xi Yun countered, "Nonsense, who’s your wife?"

With a sly grin, Xiao Pang said, "You’ve taken hold of my family’s treasure, so of course, you’re my wife now."

"Eh! Boss, there’s someone from another class trying to poach people from your class!" Xiao Pang suddenly exclaimed.
