It was a news item published in the Britton University newspaper, and it took up quite a bit of space.
The title alone is eye-catching enough.
Chinese scientific research icon Gu Zhiyun rekindles his romance with his high school sweetheart, embracing and confessing his feelings in a bar restroom.
Every word and phrase precisely captured the key points, sparking the imagination.
The news report not only vividly described Gu Zhiyun and Linda's romance in high school, but also selected several photos taken from clever angles, showing either Linda and Gu Zhiyun embracing or Linda gazing affectionately at Gu Zhiyun with tears in her eyes.
ID card-
This report, which completely distorted the facts, was believed by the Lyon team of students who were unaware of the truth.
Most of these students were boys, and many of them were interested in Linda. Back in China, they were particularly jealous of how Linda was always hanging around Gu Zhiyun.
So they started to mock and ridicule Gu Zhiyun.
"No wonder he acted so convincingly at the bar yesterday; he was waiting for the beautiful Linda to throw herself at him."
"Why do you always pretend to be so aloof and celibate? So what if you're married? You still can't resist temptation!"
"He's really good at stirring up trouble and getting into our university! He really knows how to create buzz for himself!"
When Old Xu saw this utterly absurd news report, he was so angry he almost tripped and fell over.
“I’m going to find the person in charge of their university newspaper right away! How could a respectable university newspaper report such outrageous news! I have to issue a statement to clarify!”
Fearing that Old Man Xu would get too agitated, Yang Xuechang quickly supported his arm.
He frowned and said, "Just issuing a statement won't necessarily convince Americans."

The students in the research team all stated: "We are all witnesses! We have all seen what Linda is like, and we know her character very well. We must clear Lao Gu's name!"
Yang Xuechang is the team leader of the research team, and also the most calm and rational one.
"Everyone, please don't get agitated. Even if we issue a joint statement, Americans might not believe it. In their eyes, we are a group of foreigners, and they will definitely trust their own country's news reports more!"
"Are we just going to stand by and watch them smear Lao Gu's character?"
Old Xu calmed himself down and said, "It would be great if an American were willing to testify for us."
"An American? Where can we find an American willing to testify for us?"
"Even if there was such a thing, it couldn't be that someone just happened to be passing by the bathroom last night and saw what Linda was doing, right?"
Everyone was talking at once.
Gu Zhiyun suddenly stood up and said, "I have a witness, and he is American, and he is willing to testify for me."
Everyone stared at Gu Zhiyun in astonishment.

Gu Zhiyun had already guessed last night that Linda's act in the bathroom was not for pure purposes.
He just didn't expect that Linda would fabricate a story so quickly that he would make headlines.
Her goal was nothing more than to create public opinion. Ideally, this gossip would travel overseas with Old Man Xu's research team and reach China, so that Shen Jingyan would know about it.
Linda's ultimate goal was to sabotage his relationship with Shen Jingyan.
The thought of all this made Gu Zhiyun feel nauseous, as if she had swallowed a fly.
Fortunately, he was very vigilant and had taken precautions long ago.
Last night, he unusually befriended Jim, a complete stranger from the United States, when Jim happened to be passing by the bathroom door and witnessed everything, just as Linda attacked him in the bathroom.
Tonight, Gu Zhiyun came to the bar alone.
As soon as he entered, Jim greeted him warmly and gave him a free Coke.
"This isn't alcohol, it's the most popular drink in America. I know you don't like alcohol, hahaha."

Gu Zhiyun didn't rush to explain his purpose, but instead took a sip of the iced cola.
The taste was acceptable, but he didn't like it; it was a bit like drinking bitter Chinese medicine with added sugar.
Before he could speak, Jim slammed a newspaper on the bar, indignantly exclaiming, "Gu, this report is utter nonsense! That woman is so vicious!"
Gu Zhiyun took another small sip and said slowly, "What can I do? I'm a foreigner, and I can't even find a way to clarify things."
Jim said righteously, "Gu, don't worry. I know an editor at the University of Breton. I saw everything that happened last night. I can be your witness and help you clear your name!"
Gu Zhiyun was very grateful to Jim for agreeing to testify for him so readily.
"Jim, this is exactly what I needed! How can I thank you enough!"
Jim grinned heartily and said, "That's easy! Once I've saved enough money from my part-time job, I'll definitely find a chance to travel to China. You'll have to be my tour guide!"
Gu Zhiyun readily agreed: "No problem!"
He was willing to befriend young people like Jim, who were simple, kind, and possessed a basic sense of justice, regardless of their nationality or skin color.

Gu Zhiyun's scandalous news was still the talk of the town among the students at Brittany University the next day. Linda became the queen of gossip, and she not only felt no shame, but was proud of it.
She still fantasized that the news would spread further and further until it reached China.
Ideally, she could break up Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan, which would give her another opportunity.
But her beautiful dream was soon shattered.
