His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

The person who had spoken out was not one of the swimmers of today's events, but Shi Guang knew her—she was Li Xuejing of the provincial team, the girl with the number one results in the freestyle event.

But of course, that was in the past.

If Shi Guang and Lin Qiqi were to join the team, she would amount to nothing.

The 2nd place swimmer of today's event—Liu Yanli—complemented Li Xuejing's words as she remarked shrilly, "Fu, isn't that right! Look at how fast she was! Hell, it'd be a surprise if she wasn't that fast with the drugs that she had consumed! I really had not expected that this is how the dark horses of the events actually succeed. Had I known about that, what was the point of us training so hard? I might as well just pop down a couple of pills myself… What a laughing joke! I'm sure practically everyone is mocking out at this year's rookies for the provincial team! Because of someone, all of us might be implicated as well!"

Shi Guang's face was expressionless as she eyed them coldly. "The two of you, before things are clarified, please don't speak out here in such a tone. Otherwise, once the test results are out, both of you might find it hard to get your foot out of your mouth!"

"What attitude was that!" Li Xuejing barked out angrily. She was putting on airs of a senior now.

Liu Yanli scoffed out harshly, "Before things are clarified? There's no smoke if there's no fire. There were so many people present. Why were you the one accused and no one else?"

Li Xuejing harrumphed coldly before shrieking out loudly, "That's right! How dare you act all righteous even after using forbidden drugs!"

"Since both of you are that certain and are humiliating now before the test results are even out, would both of you swear to kneel down and apologize to me if the tests prove that I'm innocent?" Shi Guang rebutted strongly without any bit of hesitation.

"Brazen! Yo—" Liu Yanli had wanted to continue. But when she met with Shi Guang's firm, unyielding glare, she suddenly felt her heart clench up as she shut up.

Everyone around started averting Shi Guang's gaze with a guilty conscience as well. Until the test results were out, they had better not say anything overboard.

At that moment, Xu Zixian's heart was all jittery as she came over to Shi Guang and asked softly, "Shi Guang, what's wrong? What happened? Why is everyone accusing you of using stimulants…? The previous time around when you were accused on the internet, your boyfriend settled it for you, didn't he? Do you want to get him over to help you resolve this again?"

Initially, everyone had already shut up, thinking that they would just wait for the results. If she didn't do it, then so be it. But if she did, they could settle things with her later on.

But after Xu Zixian's remarks, everyone's gaze toward Shi Guang changed again. It seemed as though the words of Xu Zixian were meant to shine the spotlight onto Shi Guang.

Her boyfriend settling it for her… Wasn't that just affirming the rumor that she had someone backing her?

Since her boyfriend was so powerful and was her backing, would he change the test results for her?

As such, the moment Xu Zixian said that, someone yelled out, "Ask your boyfriend to settle? Ha! So you think that you can do anything you wanted just because you have a backing?"

"What day and age is this that you think you can still try and cover everything up! Do you have any regards for the laws?"

"This is really way too scary! She's just taking us as a joke!"

Shi Guang looked at Xu Zixian coldly before smirking out icily as she turned to everyone. "What do you guys take our nation's Anti-Doping Association for! Does that look like it's a private organization? So, the authority of our nation is something that can be controlled as per anybody's will? If that's the case, our nation has so many competitions running across nationwide. Are all of them unfair then? If one can do as they willed and wished, tell me then! Why do I have to climb the ranks and competitions tier by tier by taking part in the preliminary heats and whatnot? You guys are not suspicious of me… all of you are just looking down on your own capabilities!"
