Jiao Lihong's uncle is her biggest support, and she cannot let him down.
Seeing her uncle was angry, Jiao Lihong panicked and quickly explained, "I was very careful, and no one saw it."
"Just because no one saw it doesn't mean you didn't do it," Director Jiao said coldly. "I've given you all the reasons, inside and out, but why are you still going against He Tiantian?"
Jiao Lihong lowered her head, her eyes reddening, and choked out, "Because as long as He Tiantian is in my way, I can't win the gold medal. It was the same at the World Championships and the Asian Games. I was very depressed. I only thought that if He Tiantian couldn't participate in the competition, I could win the championship and the gold medal and have a place in the domestic sports world."
Director Jiao was furious when she heard Jiao Lihong's words and cursed, "Foolish!"
He is currently just the director of the swimming team, and he is hoping to take advantage of He Tiantian's participation in the competition to achieve good results and thus have the opportunity to be promoted to the General Administration of Sport.
If He Tiantian really doesn't participate in the competition this time, and the swimming team doesn't achieve good results, his hopes will probably be dashed.
"Uncle, I was wrong," Jiao Lihong said. "I really didn't expect He Tiantian to be so lucky. She was poisoned, but she was able to get rid of the poison so quickly and is perfectly fine."
“Don’t use any of your grandma’s weird stuff in Beijing. If something goes wrong, no one can protect you,” Director Jiao said. “You’ll be expelled from the national team, and local teams won’t want you either. You can forget about competing in the future.”
Jiao Lihong nodded repeatedly and said, "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I will never do such a thing again."
“This is your best chance yet,” Director Jiao said. “Let me remind you, don’t think about those underhanded methods. You are very talented, truly very talented. Even if you don’t win the championship this time, you can still get a silver medal. You are still young, but He Tiantian will choose to retire after the Olympics. At that time, as long as you work hard, the world will be yours. The next World Championships, the next Olympics, that will be your time to show your talent. Why rush things?”
"Yes, Uncle, I understand. I really know I was wrong." Jiao Lihong had been restless for some time, but now that her second uncle had scolded her, she felt much more at ease.
Director Jiao nodded and said, "I've got it. Don't do anything, just focus on the game!"
"Yes, I will definitely compete well and do my best," Jiao Lihong said. After returning home, she threw those things into the toilet and never wanted to do anything crooked again.
"Then go back, don't panic," Director Jiao instructed. "To avoid others noticing your guilty conscience, just pretend nothing happened. I've already suppressed what happened before, and there won't be any reinvestigation. This is the best time. If you don't listen, I will never tolerate you again."
"No, it won't happen again," Jiao Lihong assured him repeatedly.
"Alright, wipe your tears and go out. Get some rest and do your best in the competition." Director Jiao patted his niece on the shoulder to encourage her, hoping she could achieve good results and not let him down after so many years of training.
"Hmm." Jiao Lihong wiped away her tears and then came out of the office.
After returning to his room, he opened his bag and looked for the bottle of illegal drugs.
She was startled when she saw that what used to be a full bottle of medicine was now only half full.
She clearly filled a whole bottle, so how come there's only half left now?
Jiao Lihong was certain that she had not misremembered.
In that case, someone must have tampered with her package!
This thing can't be kept.
As Jiao Lihong spoke, she grabbed the bottle of medicine and ran to the bathroom. Just as she poured the pills into the toilet, she heard hurried footsteps outside.
Jiao Lihong didn't care about anything else and quickly flushed the toilet, removing the pills from the toilet bowl.
Head Coach Wu and team doctor Li, among others, rushed in.
"Wait a minute," Head Coach Wu said, but he had already seen Jiao Lihong flush away the medicine, leaving only a bottle in her hand. "What's this?"
The medicine bottle in Jiao Lihong's hand was seen by several leaders who came in.
How did these people know she had illegal drugs?
Also, who tampered with her medicine before?
Who notified the leadership?
Jiao Lihong couldn't guess who it was. Although she hadn't taken any performance-enhancing drugs, she had been caught red-handed and needed to come up with a suitable excuse.
"I'm sorry, Head Coach Wu," Jiao Lihong said. "Before, I was thinking about winning the championship all day long. I heard someone say that taking this drug could improve speed. I knew there was something wrong with it. Although I spent money to buy it, I didn't take it. I flushed it all down the toilet."
Team doctor Li took the bottle, looked at it, and nodded to head coach Wu, saying, "Yes, it's a type of performance-enhancing drug. It has few side effects, but it's also easy to detect."
Head Coach Wu looked at Jiao Lihong with immense heartache. She was a promising talent besides He Tiantian. After He Tiantian retired, Jiao Lihong would be the best athlete.
How can you use performance-enhancing drugs!
Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, Jiao Lihong panicked and quickly explained, "Head Coach, Team Doctor Li, I really didn't eat it. I've figured it out. Sports competitions can't rely on these things; only hard work and talent matter. Many people praise me for my talent, but if I can't reach the best, it's because I don't work hard enough. So I've figured it out, and I really didn't eat it. If you don't trust me, you can give me a urine test! There definitely won't be any problems."
Although Coach Wu was very angry, he knew he had to calm down. Making a last-minute substitution was not an option. He just hoped that Jiao Lihong had not taken any performance-enhancing drugs.
"Team doctor Li, please give Jiao Lihong a thorough urine test," said head coach Wu. This was not only because there was no time to make substitutions during the game, but also because Jiao Lihong's uncle, Director Jiao, had come along as well.
If Jiao Lihong really used performance-enhancing drugs, even if Director Jiao came, she wouldn't have anything to say.
However, if no doping was used, even if doping was present, no punishment can be imposed before the competition; punishment will be imposed after the competition.
"Alright, my assistant and I will examine her carefully," Team Doctor Li said seriously. "You should tell Director Jiao about this. She's not only an athlete, but also Director Jiao's niece."
Jiao Lihong secretly regretted bringing this thing in.
And now it's obvious that someone is targeting her and has stolen half of her medicine.
If someone with ulterior motives takes her medicine and uses it themselves or poisons others, since the medicine originated from her, they cannot disclaim responsibility.
Jiao Lihong panicked at the thought that someone might frame her, but she dared not speak up for fear of making things worse. She decided to talk to her uncle first and see how to handle the situation.
Head Coach Wu took this matter very seriously and immediately had team doctor Li examine Jiao Lihong.
If Jiao Lihong's examination reveals any problems, she should be prevented from participating in the competition to avoid damaging the country's image.
