Feng Yinyue and Zhao Xinru had no idea how they got back to the club.
First, they were severely scolded by Chen Lingzi, and then by the club's higher-ups. Layer upon layer of insults, questions, and rebukes left them dizzy and trembling.
"—Pay up! Do you even know how much the club has lost since the cheating scandal broke?! The league is about to send people to investigate. We were planning to sell the club, but how can we sell it now?! The boss is furious. We'll have to pay tens of millions in compensation. Are you going to pay that?!"
"Get back here, all of you! You'll have to clean up your own mess! Sell everything you own, or you'll have to pay me back!"
When they returned, everyone who passed by them had faces full of resentment and bitterness, and as they turned around, you could hear them muttering curses.
"What was supposed to be a great celebration banquet has been completely ruined, and they still have the nerve to broadcast it live? Do they think no one will find out?"
"—They've caused so much trouble for everyone! They're going to ruin the club, and now they've ruined everyone!"
"They're dead! Just you wait, the boss won't let them get away with this!"
I finally got a short break, but when I turned on my phone, it was full of missed calls and unread messages. My WeChat was flooded with incredulous questions from friends, and on Weibo, trolls were hurling insults at fans who were desperate, unfollowing me, and turning against me...
"I'm so disappointed. How did you become like this... Even losing is better than using cheats, are you crazy?"
"Losing is losing, but using cheats is an insult to professional competition!"
"You're not fit to be a professional player!"
"I can't believe I used to be a fan of yours. Now I'm awake from this dream. Goodbye. I hope you will leave this circle forever and never let anyone see you again."
Zhao Xinru had completely broken down. She buried her head in the blanket and cried loudly, shouting between sobs, "It's Bai Tong! It must be her! I put the cheat code in her phone. She's the one who should be using the cheat code, how could it be us? It must be her, she's framing us!"
She had said this to more than one person, and most of them thought she was crazy and trying to drag Bai Tong into it. They didn't believe her, and some even sneered at her, deliberately mocking her: "You're allowed to frame her for using cheats, but she's not allowed to fight back?"
Unexpectedly, these words dealt an even greater blow to Zhao Xinru. She screamed and threw a tantrum like a madwoman, and it took several people to come up and restrain her.
Feng Yinyue was the only one who remained calm, but she was also about to give up. With trembling hands, she called the important person she had finally managed to get in touch with, but after more than a dozen calls, the other party did not answer.
She stood by the window, obsessively dialing the number.
His teammate sobbed beside him, complaining, "...It's all your fault. If you hadn't used cheats back then, we wouldn't be in this mess now..."
"Why are you blaming me? When we were dealing with Bai Tong, you didn't object, did you? Now you're pretending to be good guys? How fake is that?"
"What's the use of whether it's true or false? My career is ruined!"
"You have no career whatsoever!"
"I was going to sign a contract with the platform to become a streamer, and it was the best contract I could get! Now they won't sign me anymore, and my fans are all cursing me, saying how could I use cheats!"
As they argued, their faces turned red. Zhao Xinru threw a pillow at them, and the two girls screamed and pounced on Zhao Xinru. The three of them tore at each other, pulling hair and clothes, rolling around on the ground in a mess.
