nThe commotion coming forth from Boss Lei’s office was enormous, alarming many people to it. As Shi Guang exited from the office, there were a lot of people surrounding outside. They tossed to her looks of derision, disdain, and coldness.

n“Look at Boss Lei fly into a fury…She must definitely have used dopes.”

n“All of us belong to the same club. With this, we’ll definitely all be implicated because of her.”

n“Isn’t that right? What a troublemaker!”

n…

nShi Guang gripped both her fists tightly, clenching so hard that her palms were hurting from it. No matter how red her eyes were getting, she had to bear with it as she raised her head high and puffed her chest, walking out of the club.

nBy the time there was no one around her left, every single bit of pain, indignance, misery, and restlessness nearly ground the very last layers of her resolve; she nearly squatted down in tears just like that.

nHowever, she knew that crying was of no use. Boss Lei was not going to help her out—she could only depend on herself.

nOnce the labs were done with their doping tests, they would usually send the results over to the side of the organizers. Shi Guang headed over the Sports Union of the university.

nBut, even going there reaped no results. She was back at square one after a torturous two hours.

nThe person attending to her said with a black face, “I’ve already told you that we have to go according to procedures. Even if you tell that to us, it’s of no use. You have to look for the leaders on top.”

n“Then how about you tell me how I should go about contacting them?”

n“I’ve already told you that I don’t know either! I’m merely an attendant!”

nShi Guang was infuriated, even feeling a tinge of despair. Repressing every single bit of her emotions, she asked again calmly, “The way you guys go about doing things will ruin the career of an athlete.”

n“If you’re innocent, what are you afraid of?”

nShi Guang was refuted to a point where she did not know what to say any longer. With her face looking extremely terrible, she felt like exploding in her heart as well. She was afraid that if she were to carry on like this, she would end up arguing with the other party.

nShe left the place and sat on the steps outside.

nFondling her glabella, she felt a sense of fatigue as she had never done before. Staring vacantly ahead of her, she was at a complete loss. Little did she know that a black jeep was parked beneath a tree nearby as a man with an icy cold gaze stared at her from within.

n…

nHer phone suddenly rang as Shi Guang took it out to take a look—it was her coach, Zhang Shulin. He should have known about the post by now, right? Did he believe in it? Was he calling to question her right now?

nShi Guang felt a little nervous, not daring to pick up the call.

nHowever, there were some things in life that she would have to face no matter what. Heaving a deep breath of air, she tapped on the call button and greeted with a deep voice, “Coach…”

n“I know about everything on the web,” Zhang Shulin’s voice was still rather calm. However, Shi Guang was unsettled as she tried explaining straight away, “I did not do it, coach, I truly did not! I did the drug test back then as well. I had wanted to go get the report from them, but they told me that the procedures would take half a month at least.”

n“Don’t fluster!” Zhang Shulin consoled her gently, “I believe in you. I’ll represent you in the capacity of your coach to request for the organizing side of the College Games to produce the drug report for the competition at the fastest possible speed, so that we can prove your innocence to the masses.”

nThe complete trust of her coach was like a ray of sunshine that was beaming onto Shi Guang who was hanging on a cliff right now, giving her a trace of hope.

nShe was so touched that her eyes brimmed with tears. Smiling out, she stopped her sniffing and said, “Thank you, coach.”

n“Go home first and wait for my news.”

n“Alright!!” Shi Guang nodded her head obediently.

n…

nEven though her coach was willing to help her, Shi Guang was still feeling rather unsettled. Despite returning home, she could not get to rest. She gave Li Fangfei a call, asking her to look for people in order to track down that Internet Protocol address.

nJust as they were discussing about it, she received a call from Boss Lei. He gave her a Weibo account and asked her to publish a post.

nGoing online, Shi Guang’s eyes widened.

nThe organizers of the College Games had already posted out her drug test results during the competition! The results couldn’t be any more normal—there wasn’t even a single room for doubt!

nIt was with a 100% certainty that she did not make use of any dopes!

n‘So fast!’ Shi Guang was stunned.

nThe club had already made an announcement as well, denouncing the rumor post and mentioning that they would retain every single bit of legal rights to pursue the matter.

n‘This…!’

nRecovering to her senses, Shi Guang got onto Weibo hurriedly. Not only was her name there, there was also a ‘v’ beside it!

n

nAfter she published that Weibo post, the club retweeted it right away.

nAs for Li Fangfei, she too had her classmates retweet everything to stand firm on the stance that Shi Guang was a good student, with nothing but positive impressions from everyone.

n…

nEveryone was just sweating out right now—wasn’t the speed of this retweeting way too fast?

nThe way the entire matter was settled so cleanly had everyone feeling as though this was just a publicity stunt. However, the College Games was done by an official body, and there was no way they would do something as such.

nWith that, someone discovered the IP address of the publisher. Later on, they had discovered a few other accounts which were leading the discussions on; all of them seemed to have come from the same IP address.

nDiscussions were a double-edged sword.

nNetizens were people who were easily led on. As long as someone were to guide the discussions regarding a negative piece of news somewhere, there would be a huge bunch of people to follow and stir the hype.

nSomeone revealed that this entire affair was a planned plot. After many netizens realized that they were used as guns to target Shi Guang, they were pissed off as well.

nLater on, someone else managed to discover that the person who had started the entire thing was Shi Guang’s senior in the same club.

nAnd eventually, He Xinnuo’s name, face, and address were plastered all over the web.

nAs though the netizens were a gigantic army that had discussed through it together, everyone started their justice crusade against He Xinnuo. Shi Guang had not expected that things would have suddenly gone so smoothly.

nShe was almost in disbelief.

nThe side of the College Games had clearly said that they would require half a month. No matter how fast they were, there was no way they could have done it in just today!

n‘Could it because of Coach Zhang Shulin? After all, he used to be a national coach…’

nShi Guang’s phone rang again—it was Zhang Shulin.

nShe picked up the call in delight. “Coach! It’s all thanks to you that the organizers prepared everything so quickly, right?”

nZhang Shulin did not respond to her question. “Come over to the club as fast as you can now. I’ve got something I need to pass to you still.”

n“Alright, coach!”
