Ji Siyue was dragged along by this person and running passively. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Qin Chengyao!
He didn't look back. Instead, he just grabbed Ji Siyue with one hand and pushed aside the crowd blocking their way with the other. Soon, he managed to squeeze out with her and then ran even faster!
Ji Siyue really wanted to ask what was going on. However, the group of reporters behind them were as excited as wolves that had seen meat. Ji Siyue was also very clear about her current situation. If they stopped, they would surely be swarmed. So she was willing to trust Qin Chengyao and just followed him running aimlessly forward!
"Yellow Bee! Ji Siyue! Please accept an interview..."
"Don't run away! Are you feeling guilty about the things on the Internet..."
"Don't run!"
Ji Siyue looked back. Those people were dragging their equipment and recording the scene of her and Qin Chengyao running. There was nothing she could do but hold tightly onto Qin Chengyao's hand and try her best to keep up with his pace.
Qin Chengyao was very familiar with the terrain here. He led Ji Siyue around in circles and actually managed to avoid those reporters. They entered the villa through the back door using a route only insiders knew!
When they reached the second floor, the others gathered around.
"Are you okay?" Zhu Zhiyao asked anxiously.
Qin Chengyao shook his head. "I'm fine. Siyue, are you okay? We ran so fast just now. Did you get hurt?"
Ji Siyue still looked a bit dazed as she shook her head. She walked up to the French window and looked at the group of reporters who had returned outside the villa gate. Then she asked, "What on earth is going on? I feel like I'm in a zombie movie."
After confirming that the two were okay, Nangong Qi sat back down and said teasingly, "You're right. The situation just now was just like in a TV drama!"
"But the question is, what exactly happened?" Ji Siyue was a bit confused.
Just then, she accidentally saw Bai Yu sitting silently on one side.
Her sixth sense told her that this incident was very likely related to Bai Yu!
Ji Siyue looked at Qin Chengyao with an inquiring look. Qin Chengyao then led her to the computer and pointed to a Weibo post in front of the computer. "Take a look."
[Shocking! The once god - like e - sports player may have turned into a cheater?]
Clicking in, Bai Yu's photo came into view!
Ji Siyue was shocked and quickly continued to look down seriously.
The whole report was very long and seemed quite convincing. It included Bai Yu's outstanding performance in the last league, as well as the highlight reel of his extremely calm and flawless operations in this competition. What was even more excessive was a live recording of him sitting in front of the computer screen seriously while others were going to get water or adjust their state.
These things were regarded as evidence of his suspected cheating, but there was no direct proof.
Just suspicion had attracted so many reporters.
Scrolling further down, whether they were trolls or real netizens, the comments were all in the same tone.
[I've always said his skills were too stable! It's not normal!]
[Yellow Bee sometimes makes mistakes. Although his skills are slightly inferior to Yellow Bee's, for a person like him to have no mistakes in any competition is even more difficult than reaching Yellow Bee's level!]
[Cheaters, get out of the league!]
[Disgusting...]
Scrolling further down, there were even more offensive comments. Some people were even trying to dig out his personal information and force him to come out and make a statement.
Now Ji Siyue finally understood why Bai Yu had been silent. Who would have the mood to talk when something like this happened to them?
"This is just nonsense! Do these people really know Senior Bai Yu?"
It was so unfair!
Qin Chengyao pulled her up from the chair and said, "But this is the situation now. You didn't say anything wrong down there, did you?"
"I just said I didn't know anything... I really don't know anything!" Ji Siyue said helplessly as she grabbed Qin Chengyao's arm and frowned. "I didn't answer wrongly, did I? I almost overslept this morning and didn't even finish my breakfast. After class, I came straight here. I really don't know..."
Ji Siyue's speech speed got faster and faster. She seemed very flustered.
Qin Chengyao noticed her uneasiness and quickly pressed down her hand. "Calm down! You didn't do anything wrong! You did great! Don't worry!"
Ji Siyue was extremely worried. She felt like she couldn't catch her breath and couldn't calm down. Her hands even started to tremble involuntarily.
Just then, a pair of hands suddenly reached out and pressed on her wrists to stop the trembling.
"You didn't do anything wrong. You did great, Siyue. Don't worry. I'll handle this matter."
Looking up, it turned out to be Bai Yu, who had been silent since the beginning.
After he finished speaking, he returned to his computer and sat down, as if he was busy with something.
Ji Siyue couldn't hold it back anymore. Her nose turned sour and she pouted as she looked at Qin Chengyao. "Am I... am I a bit useless? I'm the team leader. When something like this happened, instead of helping the team members, I even needed the team members to comfort me... I..."
Zhu Zhiyao couldn't stand it either. He came over and pushed her onto the sofa. "Compared to the rest of us here, who has had more bad luck than you? You've had small news every three days and big scandals every five days. I've never seen you worry so much about your own affairs!"
Qin Chengyao also squatted down and looked into her eyes. Holding her hand, he asked, "Is being the team leader too much pressure for you?"
Xing Xing just stood there, not knowing what to do.
He was also just a kid. He was no better off than Ji Siyue at this moment. In fact, he was even more flustered than her.
Ji Siyue closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.
Now that she thought about it calmly, it seemed that she had put too much pressure on herself. After all, Bai Yu was her team member and she was responsible for his well - being. But now such a big news had broken out. Once she panicked, she couldn't think clearly, and the more she couldn't think, the more panicked she became...
Another part of the reason was that she had just talked to Jin Zhiyan last night. Now Jin Zhiyan might already know something. How could she explain it to her?
She had been entrusted with her boyfriend, but she hadn't taken good care of him and let such a big thing happen to him. She couldn't shirk the responsibility...
After a while, Ji Siyue stood up straight and said to everyone in the room,
"I'll figure out a way to solve this. But before that, let's have a meeting!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Siyue. And she just looked firmly at everyone.
