125. Betrayal

Xia Chi was so excited that tears streamed down his face, and he and Xiao Xia Yan shouted until their throats were split.

The rest of the Xia family, including the old patriarch Xia Ruting, his wife Jiang Rongling, the eldest son Xia Linchen, the eldest daughter-in-law Shen Qingrou, and Qin Tuo's family of three, all applauded and cheered for him with joy.

Offstage, Jonathan looked at the five people who won the championship with admiration. When his gaze focused on a beautiful and slender figure, his eyes gradually darkened.

"I'm sorry, Sue."

He whispered and finally turned and left.

After the award ceremony ended and the crowd dispersed, the five EC members returned to the backstage. They did not see Jonathan, but received a bad news from the official competition committee:

"King Su, someone has reported that you took stimulants during the game. Please cooperate with our investigation."

After hearing this, the five people who were originally happily discussing where to go to celebrate suddenly became deathly quiet.

Lu Yaoyao was the first to break the silence, cursing bluntly: "Bullshit, how could my sister Zhizhi use stimulants?"

"Yes, that's absolutely impossible, you must be wrong!"

"We had already been tested before the competition!"

The four tried their best to defend Su Zhi, but Su Zhi just looked at the man with a cold look in his eyes: "Who reported it?"

…

Su Zhi was eventually taken away by the competition committee officials.

On Weibo, the hot searches about EC winning the championship almost completely dominated the entire Weibo hot search list.

However, these hot search terms related to winning the championship were eventually suppressed by another hot search with the word "explosion" attached:

#Su King uses stimulants#

Countless marketing accounts worked together, and the news seemed to have wings, spreading across the entire Internet in a short time.

At the exit of the competition venue, Xia Linxing, Xia Chi and others were stopped at the back and were not allowed to get any closer.

Su Zhi was surrounded by several official anti-doping team staff and walked towards the car heading for the investigation.

But something unexpected happened during this process.

At some point, a large group of reporters and strangers gathered outside the venue exit.

The moment Su Zhi walked out of the exit, countless dazzling camera flashes flashed towards her, and the rest of the crowd questioned angrily:

"King Su, why do you use stimulants?"

"You are such a despicable person, you are a disgrace to our country!"

"You are not worthy of being a professional. Get out of this glorious professional circle!"

"You shameless bastard, why don't you just die?"

…

Her vision was completely obscured by the blinding light, and Su Zhi was unable to look forward. In a trance, she could only see countless faces glaring at her, and all she could hear were a barrage of obscenities and mocking insults.

The angry crowd blocked her way, pushing and shoving her, making it difficult for her to move.

"What are you doing? Get back!" The security guards in charge of maintaining order shouted and tried to stop them, but they were still unable to stop the huge and angry crowd from pouring in.

Her body was hit and bumped to varying degrees. At a certain moment when even the security guards were caught off guard, someone in the crowd suddenly threw a can of scarlet paint at Su Zhi.

Thanks to the obstruction of the people around her, it didn't hit her completely, but most of it still splashed onto half of her cheek, neck, and even her body.

But Su Zhi couldn't take care of all this.

With a numb and slightly stunned look, she looked past the angry and noisy crowd and saw Jonathan standing not far away.

He was looking at her steadily, his blue eyes filled with helplessness, apology, and guilt.

In these few short seconds, Su Zi's thoughts couldn't help but flash back to last night.

On the open-air balcony of the event hotel, he raised his glass to her and said to her with a smile: "What a pity, you were not born when I was born, and I was old when you were born."

So that's how it is...

Su Zhi pursed her lips and suddenly gave a cold and sarcastic smile.

Stimulant testing for the Glory Finals is usually conducted the day before the competition.

And that conversation took place just a few hours after the stimulant test.

Jonathan, he really picked a good time.

Disappointment, anger, heartache...

Countless emotions in those few brief seconds pierced Su Zhi's heart like a sharp blade.

This is a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than the last time in my previous life.

The white light in front of my eyes seemed to be getting bigger, and the noisy sounds in my ears gradually faded away and turned into bursts of shrill buzzing sounds. The air also seemed to become infinitely thin in an instant and I couldn't absorb even a little bit of it.

The next second, a dull sound echoed, and the slender and delicate little figure suddenly fell forward and was submerged in the crowd.

Jonathan's face changed suddenly.

The Xia family father and son behind him also seemed to be crazy, breaking through the impact resistance and rushing towards the place where the woman fell.
