Qin Chengyao smiled with relief. "Good. All team members, come here for a meeting!"
The meeting room was the multimedia room that was previously used for after - game reviews. Now, the news was directly projected onto the multimedia screen.
Ji Siyue stood at the front, looking at everyone. "You've all seen this news. The news didn't provide any direct evidence. They just incited so many media outlets based on some speculations, which shows that our team still has a huge influence. So we must solve this issue as soon as possible. I need to ask you a few questions now. Please answer me as briefly and quickly as possible. I'll figure out a solution."
The five of them answered in unison, "Yes!"
Ji Siyue: "First, during the game, the cameras only captured your faces and hands on the keyboards, not the computer screens, right? Did any of you record the game?"
Qin Chengyao replied, "Indeed, the screens weren't recorded. And since the official had a live - view, our own screen recordings aren't that crucial."
Just then, Xing Xing timidly raised his hand. "I... I recorded the screen! After each game, I'd secretly take my video back to watch my mistakes and try to correct them."
Ji Siyue clapped her hands suddenly. "Go and get all your game videos right now! Even the regular ones. It'd be best if they're categorized!"
"Okay!" Xing Xing, as if receiving a great mission, scurried out like a monkey.
"Next, Senior Nangong, would you be willing to do me a favor? Go and match all of Senior Bai Yu's game videos that show his face and hands with Xing Xing's. Bring me the ones with both video and recording!"
"Okay!" Nangong Qi also stood up seriously and went to carry out Ji Siyue's order.
At this time, Bai Yu finally couldn't help but ask, "What's the point of doing this? Without my live - stream recordings, even if we find the recordings of those operations, it won't be useful."
"It'll be useful." Qin Chengyao stood up, crossing his arms. "If we can overlap your brilliant operations with the operation screens and magnify them countless times, we can prove that all the details of your operations support the existence of your perfect play!"
Zhu Zhiyao also crossed his arms. "All the evidence in the news is fragmented. Your operations don't match the operation videos, so there's no way to make a comparison. Moreover, the official game recordings don't always focus on one person or the whole team. The media took advantage of this and magnified your suspicion infinitely."
Ji Siyue nodded seriously, glad that her actions were understood. "They don't have direct evidence either. As long as we can prove that you didn't cheat in that part, we'll have a basis for the rest, and we'll be more confident. Although there's no more direct evidence... for now, this is all we can do."
"Just doing this isn't enough." Bai Yu looked up, staring at Ji Siyue with his gloomy eyes. "You should know that the media won't let go as long as there's no direct evidence, and those people outside won't leave either."
Ji Siyue was a living example. All the people present clearly remembered the online violence she had suffered. The reason why online media was called online media was that they could say whatever they wanted behind the veil of the Internet. Even if something went wrong, they could just use the word "suspicion" to shirk all their responsibilities. It was simply despicable.
"So this is just the first step. After we finish these things, there's a second thing to do. At this time, we'll need Senior Zhu's help!"
"Huh? What kind of help?"
"I once heard you bragging that your elder brother is a lawyer in the most powerful law firm in City A." Ji Siyue knew that this guy had a basis even when he was bragging. At least he had a connection with a law firm. If they could find a powerful lawyer, that would be great!
"Actually, he's not." Zhu Zhiyao stood up hesitantly and said.
In an instant, Ji Siyue's heart sank to the bottom.
She paced in place and said, "Then it won't work. I need to find someone else to be our legal advisor."
"Stop! I haven't finished yet." Zhu Zhiyao stood up helplessly and interrupted Ji Siyue's muttering. "My elder brother isn't a lawyer, but he's the boss of that law firm, and that firm is indeed the most powerful... which means he can find the most professional and knowledgeable lawyer for us in this regard!"
Hearing this, Ji Siyue's heart immediately returned to normal.
"Phew... That's good! Let's do it like this first and see how it goes! Then I'll make some adjustments myself!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Zhiyao and Bai Yu left the meeting room, but Qin Chengyao stayed.
Ji Siyue thought he had some objections to her arrangement, so she walked up to him and asked, "Um... Is there anything wrong with my arrangement? If you think something is inappropriate, just say it and we can change it..."
"No!"
Qin Chengyao answered simply and directly pulled Ji Siyue into his arms.
"Siyue, do you know? Your way of handling this just now is even better than what I had thought of beforehand. I thought you'd continue to be in a panic. I was even going to ask you to go and rest first while we discussed it ourselves, but you did a great job... You've grown up."
Although Ji Siyue felt happy and relieved when she heard this, for some reason, she burst into tears.
"All I can do is this. I must protect them as much as I can... I'm the team leader, and I must shoulder my responsibility! This is something you can't help me with."
Ji Siyue also found it very amazing that after such a panic, she could calm down so quickly and come up with the most feasible solution so far.
"Let's go out now. You go and watch Nangong Qi and Xing Xing. I'll go and discuss with Zhu Zhiyao how to bring in the lawyer."
"Okay!"
For a moment, everyone in the club got busy, while Bai Yu just sat there, looking a bit helpless.
The thing he couldn't understand the most was - why, when he had done everything perfectly, was he suspected of cheating in other people's eyes?
Did a perfect esports player really not exist?
He took out his phone and dialed the number that always made his heart flutter...
On this side, Ji Siyue was watching Xing Xing and Nangong Qi.
They worked very fast. There were also backups in the club, so they quickly compiled about ten minutes of operation highlights!
