Huo Yingjie gently hugged He Tiantian, kissed her lips, and lightly licked them, but didn't tell He Tiantian anything, just teasing her.

Because He Tiantian needed to conserve her energy during the competition, Huo Yingjie could only kiss her and dared not do anything else. He breathed heavily and whispered, "Be good, go to sleep."

The consequence of teasing He Tiantian is that she herself is suffering from pent-up frustration; a classic case of reaping what she sowed.

He Tiantian took deep breaths, finally getting enough oxygen into her brain. To avoid any accidental mishaps, she closed her eyes and started to sleep.

Huo Yingjie lay on his side beside her, quietly keeping her company.

When I woke up in the morning, Huo Yingjie was gone. Their meeting last night felt like a dream.

Fortunately, He Tiantian has experienced many such things, so she is not surprised.

He Tiantian was washing up when Xie Feifei rushed in from outside, her face pale.

"Feifei, what's wrong?" He Tiantian asked. "Did a monster bite your tail?"

Xie Feifei was still in shock. It took her a while to recover before she said, "Teacher He, something terrible has happened! It was terrifying! My God, how could they dare?"

"What happened?" He Tiantian was very curious. Suddenly, she remembered what Huo Yingjie had said last night: "We'll know tomorrow," which meant she could find out now?

Xie Feifei patted her chest and said, "Teacher He, this is absolutely outrageous! We can't believe it, you know?"

"You didn't tell me, how would I know?" He Tiantian laughed. "I just finished washing up and haven't even left yet, what could I possibly know!"

Xie Feifei then realized that she had said a lot of useless things. Actually, she couldn't be blamed; this was truly the most serious thing she had ever seen.

"Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang tested positive for doping in their urine tests. Both urine samples showed positive results for doping. Head Coach Wu has announced their withdrawal from the competition and they will be sent back to China immediately to await punishment," Xie Feifei said. "My God, they have good results. If they had performed normally, they should have been able to win medals. But they actually took such a risk and used such a method. It's terrifying."

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian suddenly realized that Huo Yingjie's punishment was something else entirely!

An eye for an eye—this punishment is excellent!

“Yes, it’s shocking!” He Tiantian said. “What were they thinking, using that kind of thing? The detection technology is very advanced now, you can’t do that. Luckily we found out, if the Olympic officials had found out, it wouldn’t just be a withdrawal from the competition, it would be a huge scandal that would damage our country’s image.”

"When we went abroad, the leaders and coaches repeatedly emphasized that we must uphold the national image. Those two are really crazy. They did something like this for their own results." Xie Feifei still couldn't understand why it wasn't worth it!

Xie Feifei had no idea about the intricacies of the situation. She assumed that Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang wanted to achieve good results through doping, unaware that Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang had no intention of using it themselves, but only wanted to frame others.

However, the person they framed was He Tiantian.

He Tiantian is an incredibly capable person with extraordinary abilities. With so many powerful people around her, how could she possibly let those two succeed?

"Alright, if they can't figure it out, that's their own business. Some people make mistakes and have to pay the price for what they did," He Tiantian said. "Side paths are never the right way. Feifei, you are really talented. After I retire, you have to work hard and you will definitely win a gold medal in the future."

Xie Feifei nodded and said, "Yes, thank you, Teacher He. I used to not be able to keep a proper attitude in front of you, but I have learned a lot from you and gradually accepted you. By following excellent people, I have also become excellent, and I will work even harder."

"Okay, that's good." He Tiantian nodded. If Xie Feifei could really shine in this or the next Olympics or World Championships, she would consider helping Xie Feifei become a female sports star.

When the two came out, the area outside was already packed with people.

At that moment, He Tiantian also saw Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang with red eyes as they were led away.

Earlier in the room, they had already cried and made a scene, saying that they were wronged and innocent. However, in Cai Fenfang's luggage, they found the same stimulant as Jiao Lihong, about half a bottle. Most importantly, stimulants were detected in their urine tests.

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back!

Even if Director Jiao wanted to show favoritism and help his niece, he couldn't.

Faced with matters of national importance and the image of the nation, Director Jiao was powerless.

At the same time, Director Jiao was also angry because his niece had lied to him and didn't tell him the truth.

If Jiao Lihong tells him the truth, Director Jiao will immediately find a reason not to let her participate in this competition, which may cover up the scandal and prevent her from being punished. She can then compete in the next Olympics or World Championships without any impact.

But now that she's been found to have used performance-enhancing drugs, and it's become public knowledge, her career is probably over.

As for Cai Fenfang, she's no good. She actually stole the stimulants and used them herself. She's incredibly stupid.

Never mind, let's get rid of these two troublesome people quickly. He still has to lead the team in the Olympic Games!

Head Coach Wu called everyone over and warned them not to tell me, lest the scandal be leaked.

Everyone was still shaken and thought the two people were crazy, so no one dared to say anything!

After all, Director Jiao is still around!

However, everyone is wondering if Jiao Lihong's use of performance-enhancing drugs was tacitly approved by Director Jiao?

The matter has escalated to the point where Director Jiao not only has to arrange matters for the national team, but also has to write a report to the domestic authorities explaining that his niece's situation has nothing to do with him.

Upon receiving the report, the domestic authorities immediately transferred the deputy director of the national swimming team to replace Director Jiao. Given Director Jiao's familiarity with the internal workings, he was chosen to assist the deputy director.

Director Jiao couldn't complain, since his niece had gotten into trouble. As for whether it was related to him, that was still under investigation.

In order to distance himself from his niece's doping scandal, Director Jiao not only worked diligently but also treated the athletes with kindness and care.

However, the effects have emerged; even if no one says it outright, people will still talk about it privately.

Fortunately, the opening ceremony began, and everyone's attention shifted to the competition.

This is China's second time participating in the Olympics, but the number of participants and events has surpassed most countries, second only to a few developed countries such as the United States and Russia.
