Chapter 218 Heading to France
Chapter 218 Heading to France
Bai Mo's words really worked. Although the teammates were still a little nervous, at least they no longer suffered from insomnia due to excessive tension like before.
Bai Mo led everyone to the airport. Everything went smoothly and they successfully boarded the plane to France.
On the plane, Bai Mo tried to get everyone to close their eyes and relax, while she herself was thinking about various possible situations in her mind and thinking of coping strategies in advance.
After a long flight, when the plane finally landed in France, it was already evening. Tsui Hark and Bai Mo and his party rushed to the hotel that France had unilaterally arranged for them.
There are a total of twenty people participating in the competition this time, all of whom are elite students carefully selected by Kyoto University.
The hotel had prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Bai Mo and the others chose their rooms by drawing lots. Coincidentally, the room Bai Mo drew was the same as Qi Huan's.
Bai Mo called Bai Yichen and the others, but was surprised to find that they were not far from the hotel.
However, considering that the day after tomorrow was the competition day, Bai Mo decided not to look for them for the time being, so as not to be distracted and affect their competition state. So, she told them that they could arrange their own activities and enjoy their time in France.
The next morning, Bai Mo gathered all her teammates together early. On the last day before the competition, she wanted to organize another training session to ensure that everyone could maintain their best condition.
"Qi Huan, it's really you. What, haven't you lost enough last time?"
Bai Mo and his teammates had just finished training and were about to go to lunch when they heard an arrogant voice behind them.
"Han Yu, how dare you come?" Qi Huan looked at the person who spoke angrily.
"Why not? All the defeated opponents are here, so how can I, the champion, not come?" Han Yu said proudly.
"You know better than me how you won the championship!" Qi Huan said excitedly.
Han Yu felt a little disappointed, but soon realized that it had been a long time since the incident and there was no evidence to prove that he cheated. So he said shamelessly: "I won by my own strength."
"Han Yu...you..." Qi Huan wanted to refute a few more words, but was stopped by Bai Mo.
Bai Mo gently shook his head at Qi Huan, and then motioned her to look around. Qi Huan turned her head and was surprised to find that many people had gathered around them without her noticing.
"Han Yu, just wait for me." Qi Huan said this and turned to walk towards his room.
"Okay, I'll wait." Han Yu responded with a smug smile on his face.
Bai Mo followed Qi Huan's steps without saying a word and followed her back to the room. However, when they entered the room, Bai Mo was surprised to find that the rest of the teammates had also followed them.
Bai Mo stood quietly by the side, without saying a word, just silently moved aside to let them enter the room one by one.
"Sister Qi, who is he?" Zhao Xiaoguang asked impatiently, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"I know, he was the champion last year," another teammate answered immediately.
"Bullshit! What a bullshit championship, it was obtained by stealing other people's achievements." Qi Huan said angrily with his face flushed.
"Huanhuan..." Xu Ke wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qi Huan without any politeness.
"Grandpa, how long are you going to be a coward? It's obviously not our fault, why can't we speak out?" Qi Huan questioned Xu Ke angrily.
"Professor Xu, what happened?" Bai Mo's voice was cold and indifferent, which made people feel chilly.
Hearing Bai Mo's questioning, the old man in his sixties could no longer suppress his inner sadness and grievance, and tears burst out.
"It should have been four years ago when Huanhuan represented Beijing University in an international competition..."
As Xu Ke recalled, Bai Mo and others gradually realized that the dark side behind international competitions was darker and crueler than they had imagined.
It turned out that four years ago, Qi Huan and fifteen other teammates represented Beijing University in the competition.
At that time, Han Yu participated in the competition as a representative of the United States.
Originally, the two of them had no intersection and lived in two different worlds.
However, fate brings the two together in the final game, forcing them to face each other and fight it out.
Qi Huan knew her own strength and the level of her opponent. As Han Yu's opponent, she knew clearly that Han Yu did not have real strength.
Even she herself felt that Han Yu was not as good as her, let alone competing for the championship.
So, when she found out that she won the last question, she was filled with confidence and anticipation.
But unexpectedly, the referee awarded the score to Han Yu, which Qi Huan could not accept.
Qi Huan was of course unwilling to accept this because she had put in so much effort for this competition.
So she did not hesitate to argue with the referee. However, the referee not only cancelled her results but also banned her from the competition on the grounds that she disrupted the order of the competition.
"That's too much!" Zhao Xiaoguang said angrily.
He felt that Qi Huan was unfair and that this was simply disrespectful to their country. Other players also echoed him, saying that they could not understand why such a result occurred.
"How can we win like this?" Zhao Xiaoguang said dejectedly.
Everyone began to lose confidence and felt that this game had lost its meaning. After all, if the referee was so biased, then no matter how hard they tried, it would be difficult to win.
"Yeah, then why are we participating?" another teammate echoed.
He thought that since the referee was so unfair, it would be futile for them to continue to participate in the game. In this case, they had little chance of winning the game.
“Yeah, they say it’s an international competition, but isn’t this making fun of our country?” Teammates complained one after another.
Everyone was indignant about Qi Huan's experience, and at the same time they began to doubt the fairness of the entire competition. In such an environment, they seemed to have lost their fighting spirit.
Bai Mo could never have imagined that things would turn out like this. However, she raised her lips slightly, revealing a wicked smile, and thought to herself: You like to steal other people's achievements, right? Then let's give it a try!
"Don't worry about the final result, just do your best." Bai Mo said softly.
"What do you mean, Momo?" Qi Huan asked with a puzzled look on her face. The reason why she told Bai Mo and others about her experience was that she hoped they would be prepared.
"If it's not yours, even if you steal it, you still have to return it in the end." Bai Mo replied expressionlessly.
"Since you like stealing so much, let's let you steal as much as you want." Bai Mo continued with a cold and firm tone.
The teammates around her cast curious glances at her and stared at Bai Mo, waiting for her further explanation.
"The ancients once said: If you try to steal a chicken, you will lose the rice. Unfortunately, foreigners seem unable to understand the profound meaning of this sentence." Bai Mo explained with a smile.
Qi Huan's eyes widened and he asked excitedly, "Momo, do you mean that you have thought of a solution to the problem?"
"It's not so easy to take my things." Bai Mo still maintained a gentle tone.
"Ah...Mo Mo, you must have a way, right?" Qi Huan was so excited that he almost jumped up.
