Chapter 166 - 166: I’m a Pig
After placing their orders, they waited a bit for the dishes to arrive. The rest of the group avoided getting too close to Nan Yan due to the intimidating look from An Xiran.
Engaging with Nan Yan seemed too risky now.
They took out their phones and started browsing online.
Suddenly, Little K exclaimed angrily, “Boss, Bai Haoxuan is trash-talking you on Weibo again!”
Bai Haoxuan was the captain of another famous esports team.
He was strong and a top contender for the championship.
In the domestic scene, his team was on par with AEG’s strength.
Their rivalry was no secret within the esports community.
An Xiran’s expression turned slightly cold, “Ignore him for now. Let him vent. We’ll give him a taste of defeat on the gaming stage.”
Other teammates weren’t satisfied with this.
“This won’t do. If we don’t respond, it’ll look like we’re surrendering.” “He went too far this time. Are we really going to act like cowards?”
“Boss, since our relationship is already known to the whole internet, why should we spare their feelings?”
An Xiran considered and realized they had a point.
Taking out his phone, he logged into his Weibo account and directly responded to Bai Haoxuan: @BaiBaiBaiBaiHaoxuan Your trash talk is as useless as your strength. Beat me on the gaming stage if you dare. Incompetent underling. # Soon, other members of the team retweeted An Xiran’s post, adding a thumbs-down emoji at the end.
Nan Yan didn’t use Weibo often; she rarely paid attention to such matters unless she was teaching someone a lesson.
Seeing someone attacking An Xiran, she also logged in to have a look.
She scrolled through Bai Haoxuan’s profile, filled with derogatory comments about An Xiran. It didn’t sit well with her.
Nan Yan then decided to take matters into her own hands. She hacked into Bai Haoxuan’s account, deleted all messages related to An Xiran, and posted a message saying “I’m a pig” before logging out.
“Damn! Has Bai Haoxuan lost his mind? Hahaha, he’s calling himself a pig on Weibo!”
“It’s so true! I can’t believe it. Seriously hilarious! Maybe he got so frustrated he mixed up his insults and ended up insulting himself.”
“Quick, take screenshots just in case he realizes it later and tries to delete it.”
Nan Yan licked her lips.
She didn’t tell them that he couldn’t delete it.
Meanwhile,
Bai Haoxuan was engaged in a furious exchange with An Xiran’s teammates on Weibo’s private messages.
The outcome showed that his account had been logged in from a different location, and he was forcefully logged out.
He hesitated for a moment, then quickly attempted to log in again.
However, no matter how many times he tried, he couldn’t log in at all.
He attempted to recover his password, filed an appeal, but nothing seemed to work.
Left with no choice, he continued attempting to log in repeatedly, hoping to push out the person who had stolen his account.
After trying nearly twenty times, he finally managed to log in.
Before he could even change his password, his private messages exploded with notifications.
[Captain, have you lost your mind? Why did you call yourself a pig?]
[Bai Team, are you dazed from being hit too hard? Did you send that message with your eyes closed?]
[That’s right, you’re a pig, a stupid and foolish pig!]
[I can’t believe it, what’s going on? Who insults themselves this harshly?]
Bai Haoxuan looked at this bewildering conversation, then suddenly realized and hurriedly checked his own homepage.
On his homepage, the most recent post from just two minutes ago was in bold and enlarged letters: [I Am a Pig].
He was on the verge of smashing his phone in frustration.
Who had done this?
Bai Haoxuan angrily cursed under his breath and hurriedly attempted to delete the message.
However, no matter what he tried, the message remained undeletable!
What was going on?
After several unsuccessful attempts to delete it, Bai Haoxuan called the support line, demanding that Weibo’s operations team remove the message for him.
However, the staff responded that they couldn’t do it either.
A polite call came from the staff, “Mr. Bai, have you possibly offended some prominent hacker? Your Weibo account is now locked, and we’re unable to control it.”
“How am I supposed to know?”
Bai Haoxuan irritably ran his hand through his hair.
He had only made a derogatory comment about An Xiran, how could that have offended a hacker?
And was it really possible for a renowned hacker to be so idle as to hack his account just to post a single message?
That seemed highly unlikely.
“I don’t care, you must get this message removed for me, or else I’ll file a complaint against you!”
“Mr. Bai, even if you file a complaint against us, we won’t be able to resolve it. Why don’t you try finding a hacker yourself?” Bai Haoxuan:
Where the hell was he supposed to find a hacker?
The message continued to linger on his homepage, and he couldn’t disable the comments. The comments section was filled with ridicule and sarcasm.
Teammates, friends, and family members all called him to inquire about what was going on, but he couldn’t provide a clear explanation.
Finally fed up with the inquiries, Bai Haoxuan simply closed his Weibo account and went out to find someone to have a drink and drown his sorrows.
“You guys think he’s gone mad? That post has been up for so long, and he still can’t delete it. The comments below are making me laugh so hard.”
“Who knows? Maybe he suddenly realized his true nature and bravely embraced his identity?”
“Hahaha, can’t wait to see his arrogant face when we meet. We’ll mock him right in front of him!”
“Damn, it’s been so long since I felt this much joy!”
Smack—
An Xiran tapped the table, silencing them. “Enough, tone it down.”
“And Little D, no more foul language.”
Little D glanced at Nan Yan’s cold and indifferent expression, then mumbled, “Sorry, Boss…”
He had been too proud and forgot that Nan Yan was there; he couldn’t use profanity in front of her.
With laughter subsided, and the food arrived.
“Boss, why didn’t you order any alcohol?”
“We have a match in a little over a day. Why drink now?” An Xiran shot them a cold glance. “If you want to drink, put in the effort on the battlefield. I’ll let you drink your fill at the victory celebration.”
“I ordered fruit juice. I’ll be drinking that for now.”
“Fine…”
They were a bit disheartened.
They were grown men; who drank fruit juice?
But since An Xiran was their leader, they could only grumble in their hearts and not express it outwardly.
An Xiran turned to Nan Yan, changing his demeanor to a gentle one. “By the way, Yanyan, Fourth Brother made a team uniform for you. Come back with Fourth Brother to get it later.”
“Sure,” Nan Yan nodded, “but there’s no rush. We’re all going to the airport together tomorrow.”
“True. We’ll do as you say.” An Xiran smiled like an indulgent older brother,
“Oh, Yanyan, are you still living at the old mansion?”
“Yeah. ”
“In that case, I’ll stay at the old mansion tonight as well.”
Full and content, An Xiran left the other teammates behind, driving with Nan Yan to his place to pick up his luggage.
Nan Yan thought An Xiran was taking her to the An family residence.
However, the car stopped in front of an unfamiliar apartment building.
“Fourth Brother, when did you move out?”
