Chapter 55 The Whereabouts of Chen Yi
Chapter 55 The Whereabouts of Chen Yi
Seeing that Murphy was still looking dejected, Li Yanqing had everyone start training first.
It seems his problems are much bigger than Quinn's at the time.
The best way to regain confidence is to score goals.
Goals keep coming!
"Li, come to my office. I have something very important to tell you."
He hadn't been at the training ground for long when he received a message from Barker.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
With Chris absent, Li Yanqing immediately handed over the task of overseeing training to Cheng Mengmeng.
He's already made all the arrangements; the latter just needs to stay there and watch.
"Barker! I'm here. Any good news?"
"Let me guess, has the club found a big investment?"
"And then they decided to give me tens of millions to squander in the transfer market?"
“It’s been daylight for a long time now, Lee.” Barker looked at their head coach with a hint of helplessness.
He did want Li Yanqing to spend money freely, but he had only recently become the team manager and was still getting familiar with the business.
"Robinson paid for the winter transfer window himself, and it wasn't much."
“He runs a brewery, not a fraud ring, so making money is very difficult for him.”
"I have something else to discuss with you."
"Didn't you get stabbed in the back by another Chinese person before?"
"The person who confessed that the mastermind was named Chen Yi. He was previously said to be an investor in Huddersfield, but the police have never been able to find him."
"What, have you heard news about him?" Li Yanqing became serious when Chen Yi was mentioned.
He has been out of contact for some time since he fled the country.
The domestic authorities acted swiftly, quickly verifying the authenticity of the evidence left behind by Coach Wang.
An arrest warrant has been issued and all of his assets in China have been frozen.
As for Coach Wang, he is already serving his sentence in prison. Li Yanqing plans to wait until the end of the season before going back to find out what exactly happened.
He still can't understand why the other person stabbed him in the back.
"I guess so. Someone spotted him at someone's house."
"But by the time the police arrived, he was already gone."
"That person is... Raiola!"
"Vampires?" Li Yanqing was taken aback; this news was completely unexpected.
"They've colluded together?"
"So far, yes." Barker nodded.
"There is no evidence to prove the authenticity of this news, but you might be very interested in the person who provided it."
"who is it?"
"Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
"He was a very arrogant person, but I don't remember him ever lying."
"As far as I know, you knew him when you were still at Manchester United, and you had a pretty good relationship."
"Zlatan!" Li Yanqing was truly shocked.
As is widely known, Raiola is Ibrahimovic's agent.
Ibrahimovic and Mourinho have a good relationship, so he also has a good impression of me.
They even made a bet when they left Old Trafford.
But even if you combine the two of them, they still pale in comparison to Raiola's place in the other's heart.
The other party once said that Raiola was the family he could truly rely on.
"Wait a minute, let me ask him."
Li Yanqing immediately dialed Ibrahimovic's number.
Logically speaking, the other party seems to have no reason to reveal something that could implicate Raiola and lead to an investigation.
But he insisted that he couldn't help but believe it.
Because he is Ibrahimovic.
"Hey, I knew you'd call me."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Ibrahimovic's hearty laughter came from the other end; he had anticipated this scene.
"Okay, I guess you know what I want to ask."
“It won’t do Raiola any good to say this.”
"Don't tell me it's for my sake, that's just ridiculous."
Li Yanqing and Ibrahimovic share some interests, but they don't actually have much of a relationship, and he is well aware of this.
"Of course, I wouldn't hurt him for anyone; he's my family."
"That's why I had to stop him, isn't it?"
"Also, I apologize to you on his behalf for what happened before."
"His desire for shares isn't about taking over the club, but rather about controlling your youth academy."
"Youth training camp?" Li Yanqing finally realized what this meant.
It seems I've misunderstood this vampire.
What would a professional agent like him want from a club?
It's probably because the new talents he discovered at the end of last season performed quite well, which led him to set his sights on promising young players within the club.
But this is already too much; the prices he quoted were all unacceptable to me.
“I wouldn’t authorize him even if it’s a youth training camp.”
"If he's capable, he can talk to the players himself; finding an agent is their own business."
"But you forbid the club's players from hiring him as their agent, don't you?" Ibrahimovic didn't comment on the matter, though he knew why.
"So, you really saw it?" Li Yanqing was now completely certain that it was true.
“Yes, I even know what they talked about.”
"That Chen wants to invest all his assets in various Championship clubs, and he's inquiring about the possibility of Raiola doing so."
"The goal is to ensure Huddersfield gets promoted to the Premier League, and incidentally, to sabotage you."
"To be honest, I almost burst out laughing. He's so stupid to actually believe that people will let him off the hook if he pays money. Doesn't he know how strict the checks are these days?"
"So what if you don't get promoted this season? It won't make any difference!"
"But the clubs he supported failed to get promoted, and all their signings will definitely leave."
"Especially Huddersfield, if it collapses, that kid could become penniless."
"I heard he used to be a tycoon in China. How did he make his money?"
"Probably through fraud..." Li Yanqing shrugged, looking quite helpless.
Chen Yi not only fixes matches himself, but also wants to bring that same method to the English Championship.
They've embarrassed themselves internationally.
Speaking of which, Di Matteo had previously told himself that someone was targeting him.
The truth has now come out.
"Don't worry, Burton will beat Huddersfield to a pulp."
"Before we teach San Dezi a lesson, let's use them as a sacrificial offering."
"I believe you. To be honest, I was already surprised by how you led the team to safety last season." Ibrahimovic lowered his head and touched his leg, which hadn't fully recovered yet.
“We still have a bet. The doctor said I’ll be completely cured in a few more months.”
"To be honest, your striker isn't very good. His name is... Ogradi, right?"
"He's too weak. If you can win, I'll give him a good beating!"
