Fang Zhiqiang stood before me, a gun in his hand and a sinister smile on his face.
"The game is over, Liu Chunfeng."
His voice was deep and hoarse, as if it had emerged from the depths of hell.
I took a deep breath, trying to keep myself calm.
"Coach Fang, are you really going to do this?"
I looked at him, my tone steady.
"Why not?"
Fang Zhiqiang sneered. "You already know my secret. What use do I have for you anymore?"
"Do you think this will cover up your crimes?"
I countered. "Do you think killing me will keep the truth from coming out?"
"The truth?"
Fang Zhiqiang laughed heartily. "What is the truth? The truth is survival of the fittest!"
His laughter echoed in the empty Basketball Court, sounding particularly jarring.
"You are wrong,"
I shook my head. "The truth is that justice will ultimately triumph over evil."
Just then, the sound of sirens grew louder, approaching quickly.
Fang Zhiqiang's face turned pale in an instant.
"Damn it!"
He cursed, turning to flee.
But how could I let him escape?
I lunged at him, tackling him to the ground.
We wrestled on the floor, and I held onto his hand tightly, preventing him from firing the gun.
"Let go of me!"
Fang Zhiqiang struggled, his face twisted in rage.
"Impossible!"
I gritted my teeth and replied.
At that moment, the police burst in and subdued Fang Zhiqiang.
I breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the ground.
It was all over.
Fang Zhiqiang was taken away, and Li Mengni was rescued.
We stood outside the basketball court, watching the police car drive away, our hearts filled with mixed emotions.
"Thank you, Liu Chunfeng,"
Li Mengni said as she approached me, her eyes brimming with gratitude.
"If it weren't for you, I might have..."
Her voice choked with emotion.
I patted her shoulder and comforted her,
"It's okay now. It's all behind us."
A complex emotion flickered in Li Mengni's eyes. She bit her lip, as if she had something to say.
But in the end, she said nothing at all.
She turned and walked away, leaving me standing there alone.
I watched her retreating figure, my heart filled with confusion.
What did she want to say?
I shook my head and decided not to dwell on it any longer.
Now, all I needed to do was start my life anew.
I returned to school and held a press conference to publicly reveal the truth about Fang Zhiqiang.
My words caused an uproar, shocking everyone.
They never expected that their esteemed coach was such a despicable person.
As a result, I faced a lot of criticism and attacks.
Some said I was seeking fame and deliberately creating hype.
Others claimed I was out for revenge, intentionally framing Fang Zhiqiang.
But I didn’t care.
I knew I was doing the right thing.
I had a clear conscience.
Wang Jingya, Li Jiali, Zhao Wanting, and other girls chose to continue supporting me.
They believed in me; they knew what kind of person I was.
Their presence brought me immense comfort and encouragement.
I felt fortunate to have their love.
I cherished this hard-won relationship even more.
Li Mengni also came to the press conference.
She looked at me with admiration in her eyes.
“Liu Chunfeng,”
she walked up to me, “I apologize for my previous doubts.”
“You are a true hero.”
Her tone was sincere and firm.
I smiled, “I just did what I was supposed to do.”
Li Mengni gazed at me, a strange light flickering in her eyes.
She reached out her hand and gently caressed my cheek.
"You are truly special."
Her voice was deep and husky.
My heart suddenly raced, an inexplicable feeling surged within me.
I looked at her, my eyes filled with questions.
What did she mean?
She leaned closer, whispering softly in my ear:
"I want to be with you."
Her breath brushed against my earlobe, sending a shiver down my spine.
My body trembled involuntarily.
I gazed at her, astonished.
Did she really just confess to me?
I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.
"Li Mengni..."
Just as I was about to speak, she suddenly kissed my lips.
Her lips were soft and moist, carrying a hint of sweetness.
My mind went blank, and I could only surrender to her.
The kiss lingered on for what felt like an eternity.
Until we were both nearly breathless.
When we finally pulled apart, Li Mengni looked at me, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"I love you, Liu Chunfeng."
She said earnestly.
I looked at her, my heart filled with emotion.
"I love you too, Li Mengni."
I held her tightly, a wave of happiness washing over me.
I had finally found my true love.
Although I had lost the superpowers granted by the Height Increasing Drug, I still possessed exceptional basketball talent.
Moreover, my height had not completely returned to its original state.
I was still much taller than before.
This felt strange to me.
Could it be that the effects of the Height Increasing Drug were permanent?
Or was there some other reason?
I didn’t know.
But I had a feeling that a greater secret lay behind this.
A mysterious organization had set its sights on me.
They wanted to obtain the formula for the Height Increasing Drug.
And I was about to face even greater challenges.
This was just the beginning...
