After gloating at Shi Guang, He Xinnuo went home for a good sleep. In her dreams, Shi Guang was being scolded and beaten by everyone just like a rat in the streets.
Upon waking up from her sweet dreams, the first thing she did was to go online—she wanted to know how badly Shi Guang was being scolded by the netizens right now.
However, she was greeted with a face of shock.
Why had the tides online turned?
To think that the organizers would have produced the test results this quickly to prove Shi Guang’s innocence!
Shi Guang was clearly down with the flu those few days back then! How could she have not taken any flu medicine? That was impossible! She should have left some traces behind no matter what!
However, the test results indicated that there wasn’t even a single bit of suspicious compounds in Shi Guang’s body.
Not only that…the netizens had managed to sniff her out, claiming that she had set Shi Guang up intentionally!
He Xinnuo felt as though she had sunken into an icy lake.
She had made the post on an internet café. After heading home, she had replied to a few of the comments as well—albeit with a different account. Even if she was discovered, she could just say that she was hoodwinked, thus scolding Shi Guang together with the netizens. Since there were already so many people scolding, it wouldn’t be a crime for her to scold Shi Guang along with them.
As long as she were to deny everything to the end, they could not pinpoint that she was the one who had published the post as well. With that train of thought, He Xinnuo felt much more at ease.
However, the fact that she was exposed most likely had something to do with Shi Guang; she was convinced that the latter had gotten a fake army online to start the discussions about her as well.
Fully indignant, He Xinnuo gave Wu Xing a call.
At this moment, Wu Xing was being derided by Boss Lei like crazy back in the club.
He had been with Boss Lei for many years now, and had usually been taking bribes from potential students secretly. Regarding those matters, Boss Lei usually closed one eye toward them—after all, that did not affect his interests.
However, things were different this time around.
Looking at his phone ring, Boss Lei roared out,
IS THAT HE XINNUO?!
Wu Xing shivered out as he nodded his head. Snatching the phone over, Boss Lei screamed out at He Xinnuo in the phone,
GET THE HELL OVER HERE!!
He Xinnuo naturally knew what Boss Lei was summoning her over for. But, she knew that as long as she were to deny it to the end, there was nothing Boss Lei could do about it.
At the very most, she would just have to endure a round of scolding.
Arriving at the club, He Xinnuo did not quarrel or argue, choosing to just accept Boss Lei’s roar at her like a wild beast.
BLOODY HELL! IS YOUR BRAIN BLOODY FILLED WITH WATER FROM ALL THAT SWIMMING? TO THINK THAT YOU WOULD POST SOMETHING LIKE THAT ONLINE!
This mood of Boss Lei was something that He Xinnuo was afraid of as her legs trembled nonstop. This had her even more certain that she must never admit to it.
Boss Lei was someone who had built his business up from nothing. For him to be able to get to where he was, he was definitely no kind soul—this man must have some scary tricks up his sleeves.
Her eyes brimmed with tears as she let out an extremely innocent look.
B-Boss, I didn’t do it. It’s not m…
A clean, crisp voice broke her words.
You thought that we wouldn’t be able to sniff you out if you went to an internet café to post it?
Everyone turned their heads around—Shi Guang and Zhang Shulin walked in.
He Xinnuo felt her heart skip a beat for a moment before she recovered from it quickly, assuring herself that it was nothing and that Shi Guang was only trying to deceive her.
Which internet café these days doesn’t have security cameras? Once we track down the IP address and check the security footage, we can naturally find out who posted it, right?
Shi Guang waved a USB thumb drive in her hands.
The person in this footage is you…YOU were the one who had posted it!
How could she have forgotten about that! He Xinnuo was so nervous that her entire mind went blank, her expression turning entirely flustered and frantic.
However, she refused to admit it in her words.
I have no idea what you are talking about…
Boss Lei glared at He Xinnuo fiercely, almost screaming at her,
AND YOU STILL REFUSE TO ADMIT?!
I truly did not do it!
Even though He Xinnuo was still refusing to admit, her tone had already weakened significantly.
Shi Guang took in a deep breath of air slowly, trying her best to repress her emotions.
The evidence is all here…You were the one who had posted it. Just what in the world have I done to you to deserve having you use such vicious methods to try and ruin me completely?
The office was really quiet and the only sound that could be heard was Shi Guang’s firm question.
He Xinnuo was filled with hatred in her heart. However, now that Shi Guang had the evidence, she could no longer deny or put on a fierce front. Instead, she acted pitifully,
Shi Guang, what are you being so fierce for?
Shi Guang laughed out bitterly,
Why now? I can’t be fierce after you’ve created all these troubles? For someone as brainless as you, will you ever understand the meaning of respect if I’m not fierce to you? That’s the very reason why you could come up with all these things time and again! Each time I chose to not hold it against you had you taking my tolerance as your good fortune, right?
The more she spoke, the angrier she got. Shi Guang was showing that every single bit of restraint she had right now was thanks to her upbringing. Otherwise, she would have rushed up and tugged at He Xinnuo’s hair like a shrew to give her a good beating.
He Xinnuo, you’ve always felt that I can’t compete with you and am worse than you in everything, right? Since that’s the case, wouldn’t you be better than me just by training properly?! But no, no! You chose to look for shortcuts to get through your obstacles time and again! You’ve completely forgotten about the most basic aspect of being an athlete! That’s why you’re fated to be a loser…fated never to win against me in your entire life!
Wu Xing felt that Shi Guang was being a little too much now. Thinking about how he used to be Shi Guang’s coach in the past, he should have some authority and face left. Therefore, he lectured out,
Shi Guang, do you thi…
Shi Guang spun her head around and glared at him.
YOU SHUT UP! Don’t think that I don’t know how you’ve been plotting with He Xinnuo for the past two years to try and mess me up and take me down!
Wu Xing was startled.
Because she got too emotional, Shi Guang cleared that overworked throat of hers and left her ultimatum,
Today, you guys must openly declare your evildoings and issue an apology to me as well. Otherwise, I’m going to sue you guys to court! Don’t think that I’ve been a weak little flower for the past two years that we’ve been together, and am not someone to cover for myself. Other than this incident of slandering, I’ve got evidence for other things as well!
Wu Xing was flustered beyond anything else in his heart. After all, he had done too many disgraceful things in the past few years.
As for He Xinnuo, she too was beginning to feel fear.
She did not want to have her reputation fall to complete ruins.
Since going head on was not going to cut it, she could only try with softer methods.
Her tears started spilling out as she cried miserably,
Shi Guang, I was wrong! Please don’t do this, I’m begging you! No matter what, we’re schoolmates and have been together for two years! Shi Guang, please forgive me this time around…!
