basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 3: A moment of good and evil
It was already very late at night, but after Diana came back, she had been in a state of confusion and couldn't fall asleep at all. As soon as she closed her eyes, the sad look in Lu Ziqiu's eyes when she left would involuntarily appear in her mind.

"Ding dong!"

The crisp doorbell rang suddenly.

Diana was startled suddenly, "He's here, he must be here, he must have guessed that I did it, no, I have to call the police, yes, call the police."

As soon as the phone was picked up, Lu Ziqiu's indifferent voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Diana, if you call the police, you will go to jail. If I can come to you, I have enough evidence in my hand. I wanted to hand it over to the police." , but considering that you have been with me for two years, I will give you a chance, as long as you tell the truth, I will not make things difficult for you."

"Snapped!"

Diana was so frightened that her hands trembled, and the phone fell directly to the ground.

Lu Ziqiu's indifferent voice sounded again, "I know you are at home, I only give you 1 minute to think about it, if you still don't open the door after 1 minute, I will turn around and leave right away, you just wait to go to jail."

"No, don't, general manager, I beg you, don't." Diana was so scared that her face turned pale, and she stumbled out to open the door.

She knows Lu Ziqiu too well, he is a person who can do what he says.

As soon as the door opened, Diana held onto Lu Ziqiu's hand tightly, "General manager, please, I was wrong this time, I was deceived by lard, please forgive me once, okay?"

Seeing her tears welling up, Lu Ziqiu's heart softened, and he sighed, "Let's go in and talk. If I don't give you a chance, I won't come to you."

"Thank you, thank you." Dai Danna quickly wiped away tears, "General manager, please come in."

Lu Ziqiu nodded and walked in.

Diana quickly closed the door, asked him to sit on the sofa, and hurriedly started making him coffee.

"No, I don't drink coffee." Lu Ziqiu waved his hand.

"Okay, okay." Diana stood aside helplessly.

Lu Ziqiu wanted to ask a question, but seeing that she was only wearing a translucent nightgown, her skin was faintly visible, so he couldn't help sighing, "Go and change your clothes before coming out to talk."

"Ah?" Diana was taken aback for a moment, then looked down, Xiu blushed immediately, and quickly ran back into the house.

"He won't see everything, right?" Thinking of this, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "Damn, what time is it, I'm still thinking here and there."

Diana's home is very simply furnished, and the light and soft tones are particularly warm.

"This is very similar to her usual character, but why did she betray me? Is it for money or is someone threatening her?"

Lu Ziqiu was full of doubts. Judging from the current situation, it seems that the matter is about to come to light, but is it really that simple behind it?

He didn't think about it carefully before, but now recalling the whole process, he suddenly felt suspicious:

First, Yan Bingtian's reaction at the time was too excited. Although he was narrow-minded, he would not trust the media so easily, even if his daughter was involved in this matter;

Second, how could Ruxue, who never paid attention to basketball news, come so timely?Even if Yan Bingtian notified her first and then went to find herself, she didn't come so fast, not to mention that Yan Bingtian was so angry at the time, how could he notify Ruxue first and then come to settle accounts with himself?
Thirdly, with Ruxue's character, no matter how disappointed she is with herself, it is absolutely impossible for her to act so calmly, and it is even more impossible not to give herself a chance to explain.

"Could this be a pre-arranged situation by their father and daughter? But why?"

Really puzzling!
Diana changed into a set of casual clothes and came out, standing in front of Lu Ziqiu at a loss.

Lu Ziqiu pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sit down and talk, I am no longer the general manager of Bobcats, so you don't have to be so restrained."

Diana bit her lip and sat down with her head bowed.

"Diana, let me ask you, did someone threaten you, or did you get paid to do this?"

Diana replied bitterly: "Money."

Lu Ziqiu frowned, "A lot?" This was an answer he didn't want to hear.

"50."

"Are you short of money?" She betrayed me with only 50?
Diana suddenly shed tears of sadness, "My mother is going to have an operation, and I need to raise medical expenses for her."

So that was the case, Lu Ziqiu sighed secretly, "Then do you have enough money now?"

He had heard a little about her mother's illness, and if it was really because of this reason, it would be understandable.

"enough."

Lu Ziqiu sighed, "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future, you will regret it later if you do such unconscionable things for money."

Diana choked up, "I'm sorry."

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, took a tissue and handed it to her, "Wipe it off, take good care of your mother, if you need anything, you can call me."

Diana froze on the spot, "Don't you blame me?"

"We have been working together for two years. I know what kind of person you are. If it weren't for your mother, would you betray me?"

Diana shook her head vigorously.

"Isn't it over?"

"But I cost you your job."

"It's just a job. With my ability, will it be difficult to find a basketball job?"

"But."

Lu Ziqiu interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "No need, the most important thing right now is to take good care of your mother, and nothing else is a problem."

"Thank you, General Manager." Diana wiped away tears.

"Okay." Lu Ziqiu let out a deep breath suddenly, and stood up, "Go to sleep, this matter is over."

"General Manager." Diana stood up in a panic, completely at a loss.

Lu Ziqiu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "There is no need to say anything, I forgive you."

"General Manager, I." Diana burst into tears, and quickly threw herself into Lu Ziqiu's arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Lu Ziqiu gently patted her on the back before helping her up, "Good and evil are only a matter of one thought, you may not get good rewards for doing good, but you will definitely get retribution for evil, it's not that you don't repay, it's just a matter of time." It’s just not here yet, before I leave, I’ll give you one more word.”

"Yeah." Diana nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.

"Keep your kindness, work hard, and one day you will find that the most worthless thing in this world is money."

Diana quickly wiped away her tears, "Then what is the most valuable?"

Lu Ziqiu patted her face with a smile, pointed to his chest, and said solemnly: "Heart."

"Heart?" Diana looked at him a little confused.

"You'll understand later, I'll go first." After turning around, he limped towards the door.

"General Manager, where are you going?" She knew Lu Ziqiu's character, so she didn't chase after him.

"Wherever there is basketball in the world, there will be my figure, Lu Ziqiu. See you in the league."

After Lu Ziqiu left, he closed the door casually, only the distance between the inside and outside of the door seemed as far away as the sky.

"Thank you, general manager. You have a broad mind, a strong will and a firm goal. I believe you will succeed, you will."

Diana shed tears silently again, tears of gratitude, she knew why Lu Ziqiu didn't ask any more questions.

But he can not ask, but she can not not tell him, because of "heart".
