Chapter 372 A Clear Conscience
Gu Sanjing and Ai Xiangshan joined the national team around the same time and were assigned to the same dormitory. They shared bunk beds and had always been close. But now, it seemed like their friendship was coming to an end.
I feel depressed and uncomfortable. It turns out that friendship is so easy to break.
She stood up and walked towards the stairs without saying a word. Since Ai Xiangshan said she didn't need to pretend to be kind, she wouldn't be there to bother others. She might as well train a few more times. Even though she thought so, her heart was still blocked and uncomfortable.
She climbed the stairs one by one. When she reached the step where Ai Xiangshan had fallen, she deliberately looked down and saw that this step was obviously shinier than the others. She bent down and reached out to touch it, then twisted her fingers and felt it was extremely slippery. It was oil. Someone had greased it.
Looking back at Ai Xiangshan and the others, she saw that the coach had arrived. She stood there and shouted to the coach, "Coach Pei, come here."
Pei Yunxia turned around when she heard her voice and saw her standing on the steps, so she strode over. She had heard what had just happened and she felt that Gu Sanjing was right. Saving people was fine, but it had to be done under the premise of her own safety.
When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she raised her head and asked Gu Sanjing on the stairs, "What's wrong?"
"Look at this staircase."
Gu Sanjing pointed at the staircase, and Pei Yunxia's brow furrowed. At her level, what had she not experienced? She had seen, even experienced, the underhanded ways of harming others in order to win.
She walked up the stairs with a cold face and came to Gu Sanjing's side. She squinted at the stairs that Gu Sanjing was pointing at and saw a layer of light on them. She bent down and touched it with her hand, feeling the smoothness in her hand.
With a cold face, she touched all the steps and found that this step was the only one with oil on it. She turned around and shouted to the team members surrounding Ai Xiangshan, "Come here and stand in the same position as before."
Her voice was sonorous and filled with anger, and every player on the training ground was on edge. No one was stupid, and they instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. Because they realized it, they didn't react for a moment, and everyone stood there motionless.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?" Pei Yunxia yelled again, and the team members hurried over. Just then, the team doctor arrived and took care of Ai Xiangshan.
When the team members reached the stairs, they heard Pei Yunxia say again: "Come up one by one in the order you just went up the stairs. Don't go up the stairs under me."
After hearing her words, everyone realized that there was something wrong with that step, and they all carefully stepped up the steps in the same order as before.
After they were all standing, Pei Yunxia scanned their faces one by one, then said, "I know you all want to win, you all want to win the gold medal. But our national team absolutely cannot tolerate players who hurt others behind their backs. Let me tell you, hurting athletes is not as simple as hurting ordinary people. If you stand up now, we will give you a lighter punishment, but if you still insist on it, I will have no choice but to call the police."
After saying this, she stood there motionless with a sullen face. The entire training ground was so quiet that one couldn't help but breathe more lightly.
After a few minutes, no one stood up to speak, so Pei Yunxia said, "Then I'll call the police."
As she spoke, she scanned the faces of each team member again, and then said, "Stand here and wait for the police to come."
She turned and left, and the team members standing there began to whisper, "Who is this? How could she be so wicked?"
"That's right, we still have to wait here."
"I've long felt there was a problem with the requalification, and now the problem has arisen."
…
They chatted among themselves. Gu Sanjing sat at the bottom, leaning against the railing, silent. She didn't think too much about who had tampered with the steps? Was that person among them? These were not her concerns.
It wasn't her fault, so she just waited for the outcome with a clear conscience. As for the rest, she didn't care about that.
She felt a few people's eyes on her, with strange expressions on their faces. They must have thought that she had just risked her own life to save Ai Xiangshan, right?
Let them watch if they want, she has a clear conscience anyway.
A moment later, Pei Yunxia returned, accompanied by two policemen. They walked up the steps and carefully examined the greased staircase, then glanced at where everyone was standing. The middle officer said, "Alright, follow me and take your statements."
After hearing his words, the team members carefully went down the stairs, changed their clothes and went to the police's office.
The statements were taken one by one. When it was Gu Sanjing's turn, she sat across from the police officer and answered her questions seriously:
"Where were you at the time?"
"Under Ai Xiangshan."
"What did you do when she fell?"
"I went up a step and grabbed her arm."
"Why did you climb up a step before grabbing her, instead of holding her from below?"
Gu Sanjing was silent for a moment when she heard this question. She looked at the police officer and said, "I acted subconsciously. I'm an athlete, and getting injured could change my life. So, when danger occurs, my first thought is to keep myself safe."
The police officer took her statement seriously, without commenting on her words. He then asked, "Are you and Ai Xiangshan usually on good terms?"
"Yes, we have a good relationship."
“Is there any competition between you?”
"No, I was first in the last qualifying round, and she was tenth, and there was a big gap in scores between us."
…
After answering the police officer's questions seriously, she left the office. The coach said there would be no training today and everyone could move around freely, but they had to pay attention to safety.
She walked to the public telephone booth, took out a coin and put it in, then dialed her home phone number. After three rings, someone answered. It was Xiao Si.
Hearing Gu Siqing's voice, she said, "Xiao Si, please ask my second sister to take me home. We won't be training today."
Her voice was a little low, and Gu Siqing immediately asked after hearing it: "What happened?"
"There's a little thing, but it has nothing to do with me. It's okay in the team, I just want to go home," she said.
"Okay, okay, I'll call my second sister and ask her to pick you up."
After Gu Siqing hung up the phone, she called Gu Erhui's office again, but it was Zhang Zijun who answered the phone.
"Brother Jun, let my second sister answer the phone. It's urgent." Gu Siqing said.
