His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light Chapter 352 - The Afternoon To Meet At the Ministry of Civil Affairs (7)

With that, the entire swimming hall instantly went into a state of chaos.

Realizing that the entire situation was about to blow out of proportion, the staff of the provincial team went up the stage and announced, “Everyone, please maintain your silence! We will scrutinize and investigate every single athlete properly to ensure that the event was 100% fair and square! There are tests done before the events, and if there are any doubts, tests will be done afterward as well.”

“On what grounds are you guys accusing her of using stimulants?” Lin Qiqi’s voice rang out bright amongst the crowd, filled with a bold sense of righteousness. “How can an athlete that has been hardworking and diligent be framed with the tag of using stimulants just like that? Before any test results are out, please don’t make any unnecessary guesses, everyone!”

s.h.i.+ Guang looked at Lin Qiqi with a face of grat.i.tude. She then turned to the ma.s.ses and said gently, “I respect the sport and will definitely not take any stimulants or forbidden drugs to enhance my performance.”

Someone replied in a cold scoff, “But based on what I know, you seemed to have been involved in a similar doping scandal on the internet a few months ago! Someone accused you of obtaining your champion’s t.i.tle through stimulants and drugs. Of course, you proved yourself innocent back then, but there were also people claiming that that was because you had backing on your side to change the report behind the scenes. But in reality, the urine test that you took back then had come out as positive. Miss s.h.i.+, do you dare to confirm these facts?”

The one who had spoken was the swimmer in the 2nd place—Liu Yanli.

s.h.i.+ Guang’s pupils dilated. However, they weren’t focused on Liu Yanli—they were fixated on Yang Sitong standing somewhere further in the distance, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a bright and gleeful smirk.

Looking at s.h.i.+ Guang straight in the eye, Yang Sitong scoffed out coldly. Even though s.h.i.+ Guang looked calm and composed on the surface, the latter had not missed the momentary look of fl.u.s.ter that had flashed by her face earlier on.

How delightful was that!

The previous time around when s.h.i.+ Guang was locked up in the restroom, she wasn’t able to capture that spectacular sight in her memories. But, how could she miss out today’s events of s.h.i.+ Guang being accused of doping and using forbidden drugs?

She just had to be here to witness s.h.i.+ Guang being abused, looked down upon, and humiliated like a stray dog!

Just the mere thought of s.h.i.+ Guang’s reputation being tarnished and being given condescending looks everywhere she went like a rat in the streets had Yang Sitong’s heart br.i.m.m.i.n.g full of milky, happy joy!

The questions of the reporters were one more venomous than the other.

The glints that were exuding from their gazes were even brighter than the camera flashes that were popping up left and right.

“s.h.i.+ Guang, how are you going to account to everyone for this? How do you tell the ma.s.ses that you are innocent?”

“Are you going to take a test right on the spot?”

“What if the tests determine that you’ve been using stimulants? Are you going to kneel down and apologize to all of your fans and supporters, plus promise to back out of the swimming scene for the rest of your life?”

…

With this many people crowding about, grandma was feeling a little uncomfortable. Mo Jin brought her mother and grandma outside to look for a place for her to rest before coming back to look for s.h.i.+ Guang, b.u.mping into this scene.

While she was worried about s.h.i.+ Guang, she was comforted that she had brought grandma out earlier as well, afraid that the commotion might get her so worked up that she might be sent to the hospital.

When she saw Yang Sitong, Mo Jin got fl.u.s.tered momentarily.

Could there really be stimulants and forbidden drugs cruising through s.h.i.+ Guang’s body right now?

Of course, that question wasn’t because she doubted s.h.i.+ Guang.

She knew that the latter had already been restricting her diet for the past two months just for this event, and would not even eat unnecessarily even if she was hungry or thirsty. Even if she had fallen ill, she had let it be and would not dare to consume any medicine.

All of those precautions were because she was afraid of being set up, resulting in her urine test coming out as drug positive.

But, despite s.h.i.+ Guang’s thousand and one precautions, what if… Yang Sitong had managed to slip something into her food or drinks in a moment of s.h.i.+ Guang’s carelessness?

If that were really the case… what should they do?
