Chapter 32

“Boss, what are you doing here?”

“I’m looking for you guys for a little something.”

As he spoke, Zhang Bei looked toward You Bai.

“I want to recreate the scene from your competition back then. Is that okay?”

You Bai was stunned. “But the results are already out, aren’t they?”

According to common sense, once the Referee Panel had given their verdict, an athlete had no possibility of arguing their case.

Zhang Bei nodded. He hesitated for a moment but decided not to mention Heizi and the others yet.

This matter was full of uncertainty. If the final outcome couldn’t be changed, it would be better not to tell You Bai at all.

“It’s just a test. It won’t take much time.”

You Bai nodded. “You’ve all seen that video. Help me recreate it.”

These words were clearly directed at the nearby Coaching Team.

Since Zhang Bei had arranged for rest periods, only four coaches were on duty each day.

However, recreating a race scene wasn’t a problem for them.

They were all retired athletes. Their technique might not be as sharp as You Bai’s, but their strength wasn’t far off.

Soon, the three of them were ready and stood together at the starting point.

As the snowball Zhang Bei threw hit the ground, the three of them surged forward instantly.

The Ski Resort had been established for a week, and the coaches would often practice in private when they were free.

After all, the Ski Resort Zhang Bei built was constructed according to professional competition specifications.

Meanwhile, Zhang Bei sat in one of the Sleds, following them with his phone out.

Soon, everyone adjusted their positions. The figure behind You Bai suddenly hit the ground.

Their “Number Two” athlete took advantage of the moment You Bai crouched down to attempt an overtake.

This was exactly how the camera had been blocked during the actual competition.

However, Zhang Bei’s current position was from a different angle.

From here, it was clear to see that You Bai’s hands were simply vertical, held tight against her body.

At this distance, it was impossible for her to have touched the ground.

He waved at the group, signaling that they could stop.

When the group approached Zhang Bei, he could still see a glimmer of tears in the corners of their eyes.

“Alright, go back to work.”

You Bai bit her lip and ushered everyone back.

Zhang Bei took the video back to the Monitoring Room and placed the two videos side-by-side.

Then, he sent it directly to Heizi.

Heizi was currently discussing the next steps with several others.

More than half of these people were second-generation rich kids, and they were all fans of Tang Dou.

Upon learning about You Bai’s situation, they had naturally gathered together.

They might not know how to run a business, but when it came to spending money, this group was proficient in everything.

Lawyers?

They would directly retain a top-tier firm for exclusive service.

International relations?

Which of the rich kids present didn’t have some family connections? The most difficult part of the problem had actually become the simplest.

Money makes the world go ’round. The “Save the Young Lady” team had now assembled a group of top-tier talent.

Heizi’s phone rang on the table. He picked it up with one hand and glanced at it.

Then, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

The people surrounding him looked at each other and leaned in as well.

Five minutes later, Heizi saved the video and looked at the figures around him. “I have an idea.”

“I have an idea too.”

“Isn’t that a coincidence?”

A foxy smile appeared on all their faces.

Heizi spoke first. “I’ll be responsible for the short video platforms.”

A fair-faced man beside him puffed on a cigarette. “Then I’ll handle the forums.”

“I’ll take charge of the Weibo front.”

“You guys sure are fast. I’ll leave the overseas side to me then.”

The original plan they had established was completely overturned by Zhang Bei.
None of them complained, however. Since the boss wanted to control the narrative, they might as well play it big, just as Zhang Bei intended.

Zhang Bei, for his part, hadn’t thought that far ahead at all.

He simply felt that since his mission was still active, he ought to contribute somehow.

After reviewing the footage, Zhang Bei figured that recreating the race scene would surely count as evidence.

This misunderstanding, once set in motion, quickly caused a massive stir.

As evening approached, countless streamers across short-video platforms chose to go live.

Even Qingqing received a notification to start her stream.

“Good evening, everyone!”

Changkong: [Holy crap, is this ‘Diligent Qing’ today?]

March Squid: [Why is Qingqing streaming tonight?]

Grumpy Xiao Li: [Is there going to be an official announcement?]

Qingqing switched her stream feed to her computer screen.

“Everyone remembers the boss’s Ski Resort, right?”

The bullet chat was immediately flooded with mockery.

After all, Qingqing was the first person to ever run all the way down from the top.

Looking at the comments, she suddenly felt a phantom pain in her chest.

These animals!

But that wasn’t the point right now. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

“The Ski Resort’s coach, You Bai, is a former world champion who is currently serving a five-year ban.”

As she spoke, she clicked on a video and hit play.

The first thing to appear was the race footage. Zhang Bei had thoughtfully added a small line of text on the side:

*Pay attention to the height!*

Soon, the entire recording finished playing. With Zhang Bei’s annotation, everyone could see that You Bai had not committed a foul.

The second video that followed further reinforced this point.

Once both videos finished, Qingqing spoke again.

“You Bai was ruled to have fouled, and the race results were disqualified. Later, due to an appeal and a confrontation with the referee, a five-year ban was issued.”

The moment she said this, the same thought occurred to everyone.

“Is this referee blind?”

Similar scenes were playing out with countless streamers, large and small, across various platforms.

How many people were watching these streams?

According to incomplete statistics, at least seventy million people across the country watch live streams.

An hour after the streams began, short-video platforms, Weibo, and forums were completely overrun.

And the netizens of Huaxia were practically omnipotent.

Three hours into the takeover, the official website was plastered with the word “blind” in eight different languages.

Four hours in, the details of the Referee Panel were pinned to the top of the forums.

By this point, the emotions of the entire online population had been fully mobilized.

The Ski Resort where the footage was filmed also caught everyone’s attention.

The clothes You Bai was wearing clearly stated they were from an Amusement Park.

This time, it was even easier. With the streams from Tang Dou and Qingqing, the Amusement Park was identified in less than ten minutes.

Heizi leaned back in his chair, looking at the others around him. “I’m hitting send!”

“Do it, the real show is just beginning.”

“Hurry up!”

With a light click of his mouse, Heizi sent a petition to Weibo.

At that moment, countless influencers began to exert their influence.

[Petition Requesting United Nations Intervention and Investigation.]

This petition required netizens to carefully fill in their personal information and sign their names.

Ten minutes after the petition was posted, it shot straight to the number one spot on the trending list.

Total signatures: 150,000.

These were just the people with hands fast enough to finish the form within ten minutes.

While lost in his dreams, Zhang Bei had no idea what kind of storm his video had stirred up.

Morning arrived, and Zhang Bei pushed open the gates of the amusement park with one hand.
