Chapter 208: Chapter 211 Quite Suspicious..._1

The entire soccer field was laughing, except for one person.

His name was Li Xinzhe, a member of Haixing University’s football team.

"Young Master Yang definitely intentionally missed that kick!"

Li Xinzhe’s heart still raced when he thought of the events of that day.

The morning after Yang Gang was caught, Li Xinzhe was practicing alone in the soccer field. When he saw Yang Gang passing by, he thought he’d scare this soon-to-be ’negative second generation’ rich kid.

He kicked the ball towards Yang Gang, expectantly waiting to see him jump in surprise.

But that did not happen.

What he got instead was an incredibly awesome somersault kick.

In the instant the ball was flying towards him, Yang Gang launched into the air, spinning and kicking the ball in one continuous motion.

The ball sharply turned and sped towards the field, hitting the crossbeam of the football goal with a frightening force.

The beam was visibly bent by the impact, and the football directly exploded.

How terrifying. What kind of horrifying strength could it take to make the football burst with just one kick!!

Li Xinzhe clearly remembered Yang Gang’s calm warning after kicking back the ball, "Be mindful when you kick the ball next time. Otherwise, it won’t be just the beam that’s destroyed, but your head."

Yang Gang’s tone when saying these words was very mild, but it scared the daylights out of Li Xinzhe.

Li Xinzhe realized this man was serious, and capable of following through on his words!

Afterwards, Li Xinzhe kept thinking, if Young Master Yang were to join the soccer team, the strength of Haixing University’s football team would increase by at least twofold!

Li Xinzhe looked at those mocking Young Master Yang and sneered to himself.

"Although I don’t know why Young Master Yang chose to miss his kick, his abilities alone are enough to blind all of you!"

On the field.

Little Qi didn’t share the spectator’s jubilation. Instead, his expression grew more serious.

He didn’t know whether Yang Gang could play soccer, but people like them in general tend to be much higher-performance than ordinary people in whatever they do. However, Yang Gang’s recent performance was worse than that of ordinary people. This obviously wasn’t Yang Gang’s ’normal level’. In other words, it was deliberate.

"What is this guy thinking?" Little Qi was becoming confused about Young Master Yang’s intentions.

Yang Gang didn’t seem to be affected by his missed shot. He stretched his body and grinned saying, "Little Qi, are you ready? I’m all set over here."

Little Qi’s face was serious. If he loses again, he will have to go meet that woman with Yang Gang.

He didn’t want to do that because he felt it was frivolous.

"If Xiaorou knew, she would definitely think that I’m just a disparager. My affections have already failed to win Xiaorou over, and if I also get labeled as a disparager, there will be no hope left. So, I need to stop Yang Gang no matter what!"

He composed himself and replied casually, "I am ready."

"Hey, Little Qi, can you guess which way I will kick?" Yang Gang showed a teasing smile.

Little Qi remained silent.

"I’ll just tell you straight, I’m going for a central push." Yang Gang said again.

Little Qi stayed silent, but his serious expression intensified.

Yang Gang curved his back and started running...

Little Qi was in a serious mood, not paying any attention to Yang Gang’s moves. He knew now that this was not a contest of skills anymore. It was a psychological game!

"Yang Gang said he will push centrally. It’s quite clear that I won’t believe him, but he will most likely have factored in my disbelief and really go for a central push. But that would be too simple for Yang Gang. He may have already calculated this, therefore, he won’t kick it centrally. That leaves two directions, left and right. Yang Gang is right-handed, so the ball would most likely go left, but this is too obvious. Therefore, he might go right. But he may also see through my thoughts and go left..."

Little Qi’s strong logical reasoning was nearly overwhelmed. Amid the mental doubt, he began to question Yang Gang’s deliberate missed kick.

"Yang Gang’s earlier missed kick was definitely intentional, but what was his reason? Thinking carefully, there was no obvious misleading intent, but knowing Yang Gang’s cunning and shameless character, there must be a deeper meaning. So, what is it?"

Little Qi found himself completely confused.

Right now, Yang Gang’s foot had already made contact with the ball.

"What? He used his left foot! Where will he kick the ball with his left foot?"

Little Qi was completely flustered.

He stood in the middle of the goal, watching the ball fly towards him, it passed over his head, and fell into the net.

Without any reaction.

The entire field fell silent, everyone wore an expression of disbelief.

Wait, did something go wrong?

The ball didn’t move fast, it was a direct central push. Why wasn’t there any reaction?

After a moment of silence, everyone unanimously believed that Little Qi intentionally let the ball pass.

But only Little Qi knew, he had lost completely.

Yang Gang’s previous ’faked trip’ action was not intended to mislead him at all. He had only one purpose, to make him suspicious and trap him in a swamp of logical quandary from which he could not extricate himself.

Once a person falls into a swamp of logic, they would fail.

The most famous example in Romance of The Three Kingdoms is the "Empty Fort Strategy". Sima Yi led a large army to besiege Xicheng. Zhuge Liang, who had no soldiers to fight with, opened the city gate and played music on the city tower. Suspecting a trap, Sima Yi retreated.

Yang Gang succeeded.

As the ball slowly soared over his head, he was still pondering, "Could the ball suddenly change direction or fall rapidly? You should know that this kind of situation can be technically achieved in soccer."

But it didn’t!

The ball didn’t suddenly fall or change direction, it just slowly flew over his head and landed in the net behind him.

In this strategic mental contest, he had lost completely.

The ’match’ ended.

Yang Gang walked over to Little Qi, his face sporting a teasing smile, "Little Qi, don’t forget your promise."

Little Qi said nonchalantly, "A bet is a bet. It’s just meeting a woman, not doing anything to her. It’s no big deal."

Yang Gang just smiled and didn’t say anything.

At this moment, Four-eyes, Xu Ting, and Chen Tao walked over.

"Young Master Yang, you should really go to the medical clinic and get yourself checked. Getting hit in the crotch by a soccer ball is not a small matter," said Xu Ting.

"Yes, don’t neglect this matter. You wouldn’t want to have internal injuries," Xu Ting repeated.

Four-eyes calmly adjusted his glasses and said, "Young Master Yang, they’re right. It would be better to go to the university clinic and get checked."

Yang Gang initially felt okay, but hearing Four-eyes and others saying this made him suddenly nervous.

If by any chance he really had internal injuries...

Yang Gang shivered, goosebumps appearing all over his body. Without further ado, he went straight to the campus infirmary.

He went directly to Liu Man’s clinic, but she was away. So Yang Gang lay down on the bed in the clinic to wait.

After a while, there was a knock at the door. Yang Gang opened it and was surprised to find that it was not Liu Man who had returned but Gu Xiaorou.

She had her hands behind her back, apparently holding something, her face blushed slightly and she had an attractive expression.

"Um... very suspicious. Xiaorou, what are you holding in your hand?" Yang Gang asked, his eyes suspicious.
