Astro swimming pool, inside the venue.
Wang Xin rushed to the hospital with the injured Ming Li in a hurry.
The venue seemed to be exploding, but it suddenly became eerily quiet.
After a while, Zhang Yu and Wang Hao returned angrily.
Zhang Yu's face was full of anger, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be swallowing up Li Ming.
He strode toward Li Ming while shouting loudly: "Hit someone? Ha! Li Ming, you're done.
As long as Ming Li calls the police and finds a lawyer, if you don't get his forgiveness, you You must go in and squat!"
Li Ming frowned slightly, his calm eyes fell on Zhang Yu, and he was sure that these two people had a close relationship with Ming Li.
He was still calmly flipping through the company's daily newspaper in his hand, as if everything around him was just irrelevant noise.
“What’s going on? It’s so noisy, what does it look like!”
Lin Jin's loud and majestic voice suddenly sounded.
The team members all looked at him, their eyes full of expectation.
In their hearts, Li Ming is an incompatible outsider, while Ming Li is one of their own.
Now that Ming Li is being beaten, they all hope that the coach will do justice.
Zhang Yu quickly greeted him and said quickly: "Coach!
Li Ming sent Ming Li to the hospital with a very bad attitude!
We all maintain the most basic respect for him, a newcomer with no results.
But he is arrogant and domineering!
Such a person joining our team will only affect everyone's morale!
I think it is better for Li Ming to leave our team and go to another team. ”
Wang Hao immediately echoed: "Yes, I agree."
"We agree too!"
Other team members also shouted, and their unkind eyes were shot at the stilted people like sharp arrows. Li Ming, who has two legs.
Listening to these words, Lin Jin felt his head buzzing.
He knew very well that Li Ming had a calm personality, while Ming Li had a bad temper.
But regardless of right or wrong, he would never let Li Ming leave.
After all, he went through a lot of hardships in Kyoto and made Chen Ling pay a huge price before Li Ming agreed to join the team.
“Shut up!
It is impossible for Li Ming to leave this team. If any of you talk nonsense, I will kick him out first!
Also, Li Ming and You are all part of this team and this big family.
If anyone dares to say this kind of thing again in the future, don’t call me coach. I can’t coach such people! "
Lin Jin's face was livid, his eyes were so majestic that no one dared to look directly at him, and he shouted angrily.
In an instant, the venue was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Zhang Yu was stunned, his face turned red instantly, and he argued unwillingly: "Coach, but this Li Ming has gone too far!
Ming Li is from the Ming Group and the sponsor behind our team.
What will happen to the reputation of our national team if word of this gets out? What about sponsorship? "
Wang Hao also hurriedly agreed: "That's right, coach.
Ming Li is still a core player of Jiangcheng and will represent Jiangcheng in the competition next week.
Now that Li Ming is beaten like this, what should we do in this game? "
Lin Jin frowned, looked at them with piercing eyes, and said, "I said, I have my own sense of discretion regarding Li Ming. You just have to do your own training. ”
Zhang Yu and Wang Hao opened their mouths, wanting to say something more.
But seeing Lin Jin's stern expression, he could only swallow his words back.
A moment later.
At this time, assistant coach Wang Xin hurried in.
Her face was a little pale, and there were beads of sweat hanging on her forehead, obviously she hadn't recovered yet.
She walked quickly to Lin Jin and lowered her voice and said, "Coach, Ming Li has been sent to the hospital and is still in a coma.
The doctor said he had a mild concussion and needed to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. ”
Lin Jin nodded slightly, Said: "I understand.
Go and take care of Qing Li first. Our sponsors are all from the Ming family. Contact them clearly and tell me if you have anything in time.
Here I’ll just take care of it.”
Wang Xin glanced at Li Ming with complicated emotions in his eyes, then nodded silently and left.
Lin Jin glanced around the players present and said: "Today's physical test and swimming test are postponed to tomorrow.
Everyone go back and prepare well, and you must give your best tomorrow Status."
Zhang Yu sighed helplessly and glanced at Li Ming bitterly. Although the other team members were unwilling to say anything, they dispersed one after another.
Lin Jin put a smile on his face again, walked towards Li Ming, and said with a smile: "Mingli has a bad temper, I will talk to him about it."
Li Ming smiled slightly, he understood Lin Jin's thoughts.
Later, he told Lin Jin what happened in detail.
After listening to this, Lin Jin didn’t know what to say.
He knew in his heart that the best solution was for Ming Li to apologize to Li Ming, and then the two of them shook hands and made peace.
However, Ming Li has a special identity and background, and he cannot influence Ming Li's thoughts at all.
As for Li Ming, he also had no way to exert pressure.
Both sides are easy to mess with, and he can't afford to offend anyone.
Lin Jin was full of worries. If Mingli came to trouble Li Ming again and the conflict escalated further, he really didn't know how to end it.
After thinking about it, Lin Jin could only say: "Don't worry, this won't happen again in the future.
Don't argue with people like Ming Li, either. Nothing necessary.”
Li Ming glanced at Lin Jin and saw worry in his eyes. He chuckled and said, "Coach Lin, you don't have to worry, it's just a small matter."
Lin Jin sighed helplessly, his face But he still kept smiling.
After the two exchanged a few words, Li Ming left the swimming pool.
Li Ming returned to the manor and walked straight to the gym.
The gym is filled with the smell of sweat mixed with metal equipment.
He walked over to the barbell and started doing heavy exercises.
Every time he lifted the barbell, his muscles tightened, and sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped on the ground...
At the same time.
In the hospital, the ward is filled with the smell of disinfectant.
The white walls and sheets make the depressing atmosphere even colder.
Ming Li was lying on the hospital bed, her face swollen like a sourdough bun.
His father paced anxiously back and forth beside the bed, his steps heavy and filled with suppressed anger.
While pacing, he whispered: "The person who attacked Ming Li must pay the price!
No one in Jiangcheng dares to touch my son!"
His voice was filled with anger, which was like a burning flame, with unquestionable toughness.
Mingli's mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her son's hand tightly with both hands. Her tears kept falling like broken beads and wet the skirt of her clothes.
“We can’t just let it go, my poor son, your parents have been reluctant to beat you since you were a child.
How could you be beaten like this? This person is so mean to you. Dead hand.
My son, wuwu..."
Mingli slowly opened her eyes.
There was still a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Immediately, I recalled Li Ming’s two slaps.
Seeing the anxious look of his parents again, the anger in his heart welled up again. When he saw him waking up, his parents immediately came to him.
Dad Li quickly asked: "Son, how are you? Who hit you?"
Li's mother asked with concern: "Son, do you have a headache? Do you remember mom?
The doctor said you have a concussion, you won't lose your memory, right?"
He said: " I'm fine, dad, it was Li Ming!
He hit me, and he cooperated with our group.
Dad, you must show him some trouble and make him regret it... ”
Ming Li complained a little aggrievedly.
As he said that, he suddenly remembered Erica’s phone call.
"Dad, Mom. I remember, my cousin called me. Did you receive it later?"
"The call? No!"
Wen After saying this, Mingli's parents were stunned and shook their heads.
Immediately, Li's father immediately said: "Hurry, give her a call.
She must be looking for you because of something urgent, maybe it is related to the family property."
Li's mother: "That's right, call your cousin first. We'll deal with the person who hit you later."
Under the urgent urging of her parents, Ming Li didn't dare to delay and quickly picked up the mobile phone on the table. Call back.
Buzz...the phone is connected.
This is the first time since Ming Li has been on the phone with her superior cousin.
His voice had an imperceptible tremor: "Cousin, I am Ming Li."
Erica's voice was calm but unquestionable: "Ming Li, you Why didn't you answer the phone? "
As soon as these words came out, Ming Li felt nervous.
Thinking of Li Ming, he immediately said: "Auntie, I was knocked unconscious by Li Ming, and I am still lying in the hospital, so I can receive your call."
The words fell.
Originally Ming Li wanted to take the opportunity to tell him about this matter, maybe Erica could help him vent his anger.
Unexpectedly, he only heard Erica's slightly surprised voice on the phone.
“Have you offended Li Ming?!
Li Ming is an important customer of the group, you must get along well with him.
I called you just to tell you about this, but you actually had a conflict with him?
After he hit you, did you have any reaction? "
Hearing this, Mingli's mouth opened wide, and he was filled with grievances.
He said anxiously: "Cousin, he hit me!
I... was knocked unconscious by him. How do I know his reaction? ”
Beside them, Ming Li's parents were also stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.
What Erica is more concerned about is actually Li Ming!
"No matter who is right or wrong, you have to apologize to him and get forgiveness. This is related to the interests of the group."
At this time, on the phone, Erica's tone was not negotiable at all. room.
"Auntie, I..." Ming Li wanted to say something else, but Dad Li held his shoulders and shook his head at him.
Seeing this, Ming Li felt the pain on his face. He felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. All kinds of tastes came to his heart, and he could only hold it back.
He asked in confusion: "Cousin, why? He just..."
Erica interrupted him without hesitation: "Don't ask why, just do as I say. .
Also, secretly record the video of him swimming so that it cannot be discovered. You must make friends with him, satisfy his request, and obtain his forgiveness.”
Ming Li stared. His eyes were full of disbelief: "Sister-in-law, this..."
"This is an order. If I can't do it, I'll go and apologize to him myself." After Erica said that, she hung up the phone.
When these words are spoken, they are not unimportant.
Ming Li also gave up completely, looked at her father with a swollen face, and asked aggrievedly: "Dad, what should I do?"
"Your cousin takes it so seriously, I apologize. Go!”
“We’ll go with you!”
Li's mother was also speechless and choked, looking at her son distressedly.
Ming Li sat blankly on the bed, feeling extremely angry.
He looked at the ceiling, full of doubts: "Who is Li Ming? Why is his cousin so protective of him?
Does he have any powerful background or control the key interests of the group? ?
But I was beaten like this, but I still have to apologize to him. ”
His fists clenched unconsciously and then slowly unclenched.
He turned to look at his parents and saw them sighing helplessly and comforting him with their eyes.
The next day, inside the Star Swimming Stadium.
The sun shines through the tall windows on the blue pool water, making the waves sparkle.
The team members arrived early, and the air was filled with tension and anticipation. Of course, their eyes were also erratic.
Everyone is searching for Ming Li and Li Ming.
After all, what happened yesterday gave them a big shock.
Zhang Yu and Wang Hao stood by the swimming pool, looking at the door from time to time, their eyes full of anticipation and sneers.
Zhang Yu crossed his arms and whispered: "With Ming Li's character, he will definitely let Li Ming teach him a lesson today.
In addition, my uncle and aunt have doted on Ming Li and Ming Yu since they were young. Maybe they will come too.”
Wang Hao looked at him: "Uh... are you so sure?"
Zhang Yu smiled and whispered: "Nonsense, I am in love with Mingyu, can I still be unclear?"
Wang Hao was speechless and choked.
Half an hour later.
As everyone looked around, they saw Lin Jin bringing Ming Li in. Next to Ming Li, there was a couple.
Saw Ming Li and his parents walking into the venue.
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up and he was a little proud, "Wang Hao, look, what I said."
After saying that, he said: "Hey, the show has begun."
Hearing Zhang Yu's muttering, the eyes of Wang Hao, Liu Yue, Zhao Lin and other team members all fell on Ming Li, whose face was still swollen and bruised.
Then, he glanced at Li Ming, who was warming up and looking relaxed.
Seeing this, Liu Yue couldn't help but whispered to Zhao Lin: "Linlin, this Li Ming is really big-hearted, he is very brave."
Zhao Lin smiled: "Haha, wait tomorrow When Li's parents found him, he knew what was wrong."
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Ming Li gritted his teeth, walked towards Li Ming with his feet as heavy as lead. .
Of course he knows what Zhang Yu and the others are thinking.
It was nothing more than having an attack on his own, taking his parents with him, and using various means to get Lin Jin to cooperate and teach Li Ming a lesson.
But the reality is exactly the opposite!
The thought of apologizing to someone who beat him up in front of so many acquaintances made him almost unable to move.
He couldn't even imagine what everyone's reaction would be!
Ming Li was struggling in her heart, "How can I bow to him?
But I have to obey my cousin's orders.
If you don't apologize, the family may suffer significant damage. ”
His palms were covered with sweat, and his heart was beating wildly in his chest. The suffocating feeling seemed to rush out of his throat.
In the end, between Lin Jin and him, Accompanied by her parents, Ming Li walked up to Li Ming
