"Really..." Zhang Jingdong saw that this guy was indeed getting cocky and immediately, in a cooperative manner, said, "You should have said earlier. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have competed with you. Looks like I've been duped by you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Hanyu half-jokingly and half-seriously said, "It's too late now. You won't quit just because you can't handle losing, right?"
Zhang Jingdong sighed and said, "Alright, since the game's already started, I'll finish this match even if I embarrass myself."
Upon hearing this, the crowd around them instantly felt relieved, their faces returning to previous smiles. It was clear they all thought Zhang Jingdong was sure to lose.
Xu Sicheng thought the same thing and felt a bit of anticipation and joy.
But Ye Jinyan was no longer worried, because she saw that familiar confidence in Zhang Jingdong's eyes.
