Schemes Concoction

"What's the meaning of this?, Chief inspector." Chen Jia said angrily. He was a former athlete of the national team, to him, an accusation for using drugs was not a small matter and it has to think thoroughly before announcing the suspicion. Especially, when it came from a chief inspector himself.

The chief inspector's face paled slightly as he did not know how to respond. Chen Jia continued to press further, "Who report it to you?"

"This…you! Tell Mister Chen, you are the one who received the report." The chief inspector suddenly pointed at one of his assistants and said loudly.

Shen Tianyun was snickered in his heart, he was tired of this typical clown who instantly tossed a blame on their subordinate when they did something wrong.

With a shock, the male assistant's face paled as white as paper, he never thought his leader could be this shameless. Before he could reply, Chen Jia quickly said, "Chief inspector, you don't have to toss it to the innocent. I know you have been bribed by someone to do this. If you don't want to say it, I won't mind to report this incident to President Mo."

When the chief inspector heard a 'President Mo' name, his face became void of blood. Who was president Mo? He was the current president of the Chinese Athletic Association. If this incident has been reported to him, without a doubt, the chief inspector's life would be misery. He was now in a dilemma as he could not afford to offend both sides.

Gritted his teeth, the chief inspector said with difficulty, "This is a misunderstanding, I think we have been deceived by a report. I am willing to fix this situation and help student Shen regain his reputation."

Chen Jia narrowed his eyes, he wanted to say something further but got interrupted by Yu Fan.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, I think we should go out and appease the crowd first shall we?. Mister Chen can report this matter to the association later. How about it?" He knew that this matter won't end easily, what he worried the most at this moment was the clamor on the outside.

Chen Jia thought for a moment before nodded his head unwillingly. He was determined to report this incident to the association after this.

The chief inspector heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Jia accepted Yu Fan's suggestion. The group walked out of the locker room afterward, but Shen Tianyun did not follow them out, he gazed at Wang Shiwei and smiled slightly.

"Congratulation, Brother Wang, you have made the right choice." He said.

Wang Shiwei lowered his head in embarrassment and shame, he momentarily lost for a word.

Shen Tianyun chuckled and walked towards the opposite of his locker, he brought the paper box down and took his phone out.

Seeing Shen Tianyun's action, Wang Shiwei was shocked and felt relief at the same time. He raised his head, mustered his courage, and asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Shen Tianyun didn't answer right away, he checked the video on his phone for a moment. Wang Shiwei in the video seemed to hesitate several times and paced around Shen Tianyun's locker for a while before decided not to do anything.

He lifted his head, stared at a nervous Wang Shiwei, "You need to improve your acting skills a bit. I can see your jealousy from your eyes and your voice." He shrugged his shoulders.

Wang Shiwei was stunned by his answer. Shen Tianyun said further, "Now, I'm very curious, why did you decide to pull it off?"

Wang Shiwei silent for a moment, a self-deprecation smile appeared on his face, "To be honest, when you said that sentence before you went off. I can see that my ending would be very misery so I decided to stop myself to do it. Another reason is, you already have such a beautiful girlfriend, I don't think you are lying when you say that you have nothing to do with Nalan Yu."

Shen Tianyun nodded, "Can you tell me now, who is behind all of this? I can see that whoever instigated you, they clearly didn't tell you everything about me. I bet that if you know about my 2 girlfriends, I don't think you will accept their proposals."

Wang Shiwei sighed, "You are right, if I know that you have a beauty like that as your girlfriend, I will definitely won't do anything against you in the first place. It's not that I think Nalan Yu is not beautiful, I mean, you probably won't interested in her after having a beauty like Miss Lin by your side." He paused for a moment before continued.

"The one who told me to do this is Zhou Feng from your school... Everything is my own fault, I was jealous of you. You don't know, whenever I saw her face and that happy smile when she mentioned your name, I was so angry and jealous. I'm sorry." He then lowered his head slightly.

Shen Tianyun laughed in his heart when he heard Wang Shiwei kept praising Lin Xueyue's beauty. He did not mind about it as he waved his hand, "You don't have to apologize to me, in the end, you didn't do anything to me… Now, I wonder how did Zhou Feng manage to know about this and he could even find you. With his small brain, I don't think he could come up with this." A frown appeared on his face when he said this.

"This… I don't know either. Last week, he called me out of nowhere and told me about his plan. At that time, I was overwhelmed by jealousy so my brain is not functioning well." Wang Shiwei said uncertainly. He himself was not sure about it either. When Shen Tianyun mentioned this, he started to curious about it as well.

Shen Tianyun thought for a bit, "I think he probably has his people on your side. Brother Wang, from today onward you have to watch out for his people and keep your eyes on Miss Nalan too. We never know if this bastard Zhou Feng will do anything to her."

Wang Shiwei's face turned serious, he nodded, "Thank you, brother Shen, for forgiving me. Rest assured, I will keep my eyes on her." He said solemnly.

Shen Tianyun chuckled as he teased, "Yeah, I know you will."

His words made Wang Shiwei's face reddened from embarrassment.

"Good luck, Brother Wang." Shen Tianyun didn't dilly-dally any further. After packed his things up, he patted on Wang Shiwei's shoulder and left. Although Wang Shiwei had ill intentions towards him before, after all, he did not do anything in the end thus, Shen Tianyun did not want to have anything to do with him again. It would be an entirely different story if Wang Shiwei did not pull it off in the end.

When he walked out of the locker room, he saw the chief inspector stood on the stage with a microphone on his hand.

"Yes, everyone, as Mister Yu Fan said, I would like to apologize to everyone for interrupting the ceremony. Please, accept my apologies." He then bowed slightly.

Shen Tianyun shook his head, this chief inspector did not say anything about a false report. He deliberated to left things out with a misunderstanding.

At this moment, Chen Jia took a microphone from the chief inspector forcefully and gazed towards the crowd, "Everyone, please listen to me. Our winner, student Shen Tianyun from Huayun High school has been falsely accused of using drugs. Chief inspector has said that he got a false report but I know someone is trying to frame our first place winner."

"This matter is a shame of our country and I swear this will not end only for today. I will definitely report this matter to the association. Since I am a part of the association, I would like to apologize to everyone on behalf of the association. Please accept my apologies." Chen Jia bowed deeply to the crowd afterward.

His speech made people admiring and praising him, and those people who were cursing and jeering at Shen Tianyun immediately shut their mouths. A loud applause started to reverberate through the stadium.

The chief inspector's face changed several times, he started to regret his actions as he can see the ending of his career not too far away, and perhaps, it was the end of his life as well.

"Alright, everyone, since everything is cleared now. I think it's time for the ceremony to continue, shall we?. Please, welcome our first place winner, student Shen Tianyun." After a round of applause, Yu Fan tried to continue the reward ceremony. He sent his assistant to tell Shen Tianyun beforehand.

A short moment later, Shen Tianyun walked up to the stage in his black and white tracksuit. His expression was calm, there was a faint smile on his lips. He received a trophy from Chen Jia with a humble smile.

"Thank you, Mister Chen, for helping me." Shen Tianyun said softly while shook hands with Chen Jia.

Chen Jia chuckled, "You don't have to thank me, this is my duty after all… Anyway, are you interested to join a national camp? I can see an Olympic gold medalist in you."

Shen Tianyun laughed as he already expected this, "You think too highly of me, Mister Chen, and thank you for your invitation but I don't want to walk this path. This is just my hobby, I have my reason to join this competition. In the future, I probably won't participate in any competition again." He said firmly.

Hearing this, Chen Jia silent for a while before he replied regretfully, "Alright, I respect your choice… Ai, what a pity…"

Shen Tianyun only smiled in reply, he quite likes this straightforward Chen Jia. He seemed to be a very upright person. He pretty much confident that Chen Jia will report this matter to the association as he said before. Therefore, he won't bother to do anything with the chief inspector further since he already knew the mastermind behind this scheme.

Afterward, they had idle chatter for a little further before the ceremony had come to an end. Shen Tianyun walked down from the stage, countless medias immediately surrounded him and asked him questions.

It took him 20 minutes to finished the interview. When Shen Tianyun got out of the circles he immediately saw Lin Xueyue's silhouettes standing not too far away from him.

"Let's go back, Yue'er." Shen Tianyun said when he walked up to Lin Xueyue's side and helped her carry a camera bag.

Lin Xueyue nodded her head, "Zhou family?" She asked softly while both of them slowly walked out of the stadium.

Shen Tianyun chuckled, "Yeah, Zhou Feng."

Lin Xueyue only smiled in acknowledgment. Shen Tianyun turned to ask, "How's the preparation?"

"It's because Lin Ming is the only son of the current Lin family patriarch, it is very hard to block Lin family out of this game for a while as our plans. I need more time." She replied plainly.

Shen Tianyun smiled as he grabbed a hold of her slender hand, "Don't worry, take your time. Even we can't stop Lin Ming from interfering with our plan when we strike Zhou family and the Black Dragon gang. I don't think he could do anything to save both of them at the same time."

"Furthermore, Zhou family and the Black Dragon gang are only his pawns. If he chooses to save the Zhou family, he has to abandon the latter. Without the Black Dragon gang, Zhou family is nothing, Cai Ning and Rou'er could suppress them easily. After that, it will be a showdown between me and Lin Ming."

"Of course, it would be better if we could get them in one fell swoop." He said confidently.

Lin Xueyue shook her head slightly, "No, that won't do. The more we let him live, the more risk we have to take. I don't want your secret to be exposed too soon. We still have to face Zhao and Lan family later. There is still Lan Qingcheng, we still didn't know her real attitude towards you." She explained.

Shen Tianyun let out a faint laugh, he looked at Lin Xueyue and said, "Since this Young master Zhou Feng is so eager to make a move, why don't we use this opportunity to test her attitude?"

Lin Xueyue frowned for a bit before she understood his intention. She nodded her head with a smiling face.

...

Bang!

"Trashes! What a bunch of trashes!" In a certain room at Zhou manor, Zhou Feng slammed his hand on the table upon hearing a report from the stadium.

The 2 bodyguards beside him sweat profusely and lowered their heads, did not dare to meet Zhou Feng's gaze.

"You still can't find a chance to get that bitch?" Zhou Feng turned to ask his bodyguards with a face that contorted from hatred.

One of the bodyguards shook his head vigorously, "No, her bodyguard is very wary. He could distinguish our men instantly." He said fearfully and lowered his head prepared to receive a scold from Zhou Feng.

"Hmph! Isn't just a one person? You can't take him down!? Why are you guys so trash!?" As expected, Zhou Feng scolded his bodyguard loudly.

The bodyguard did not dare to retort out loud, they could only curse in their hearts silently.

Zhou Feng's face became sinister as he said, "I don't care what methods you use as long as you can bring that bitch back to me. Do you understand?"

The bodyguard shuddered, he seemed to hesitate for a moment before he said, "But Master forbade us to provoke Shen Tianyun. I don't know if Master know about it this time. I fear that…"

Zhou Feng turned to look at him and yelled out, "Just do as I said! You don't have to worry about my father, he won't do anything to me. He could only scold me for a few hours at best." When thinking about his father, Zhou Feilong, he did not understand why his father had forbidden him to act against Shen Tianyun. He was a dignified young master Zhou, why would he need to fear about that poor guy.

Furthermore, Lin Ming took a stand on Zhou family's side. He did not need to fear Lin Xueyue anymore. Zhou Feng believed that without Lin Xueyue's protection, Shen Tianyun was nothing but a trash poor bastard.

Since that day Shen Tianyun had humiliated him and stepped on his face, Zhou Feng's mind has been occupied by hatred and he wanted revenge. This was the opportunity to kill Shen Tianyun, he did not want to let it pass.

"Y…yes, Young master." The bodyguard answered weakly. He wanted to tell Zhou Feng 'Of course, you are his son, he won't do anything to you but what about us?' However, he could only swallow it back into his stomach.

"Shen Tianyun… your death is near now…let's see how are you going to survive this time. Hahaha!" Zhou Feng's sinister laughter echoed through the entire room.

...

"Achoo!" On the way back to his home, Shen Tianyun sneezed loudly as he rubbed his nose.

Lin Xueyue looked at him with a weird expression. She rarely saw him sneezed like this.

Noticing her gaze, Shen Tianyun chuckled, "It seemed someone is talking bad about me."
