One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

His feelings, could they not be complex?

He believed that after being with Tong Simeng, he had never once treated her with harsh criticism.

Yet, he had suddenly become labeled as hot-tempered, a tyrant, a maniac for violence!

If Tong Simeng had complained that he was too busy to spend time with her, causing her to cheat, Ye Zhaoyu wouldn\'t have said much. During the competition season, he indeed neglected Tong Simeng, and he could accept such an accusation.

But the things Tong Simeng was saying now were completely fabricated.

Unfortunately, such claims were the most likely to evoke empathy.

If it was simply a complaint that Ye Zhaoyu didn\'t have time for her, leading to her affair, n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

the fans would surely berate her, "You knew what kind of profession he had when you were together with Ye Zhaoyu. Which professional player can abandon their game training during the competition season to be clingy with their girlfriend?"

"Then you should have chosen a boyfriend from a different profession long ago. Yet you complain while still clinging to the glory that Ye Zhaoyu brings you!"

Isn\'t that hypocrisy?

However, if you label Ye Zhaoyu as aggressive and tyrannical like now, it becomes a different story.

People have an instinct to sympathize with the underdog, and Tong Simeng had cast herself as one, choosing to do so right after the finals.

At that time, Ye Zhaoyu\'s popularity was high, which could immediately generate a surge in online traffic.

Also, she had constructed the image of a kind and sensible person by not causing a scene before the finals, but afterwards, so as not to affect Ye Zhaoyu.

The thoughtfulness behind this was utterly condemnable.

Gu Yan clicked on the edited video.

The opening scene was Ye Zhaoyu\'s look of disgust: "If you have something to say, say it quickly! After speaking, leave immediately!"

Then Tong Simeng appeared with an aggrieved expression: "Zhaoyu, you\'re treating me this way, is it because... do you know how much you\'ve hurt me?"

Ye Zhaoyu interrupted her again with a look of disdain: "Tong Simeng, you really have opened my eyes."

The following scene showed Tong Simeng approaching Ye Zhaoyu, only to be violently pushed away by him.

The final frame froze on Tong Simeng\'s pale face.

That\'s where the video ended.

After that.

A staff member also posted a Weibo at the same time.

"Is this the truth? When I went to interview Ye Zhaoyu, I entered to see Miss Tong being pushed down. Ye Zhaoyu\'s expression was very frightening at the time. It felt like he could be a man who would abuse his wife after getting married."

Tong Simeng made her accusations, and a staff member corroborated them.

Ye Zhaoyu was instantly caught up in controversy.

At this moment.

Ye Zhaoyu\'s phone began to ring incessantly.

Ye Zhaoyu looked at it.

There was some warmth in his heart.

Most messages were from people at the club.

"Boss, Su Fan that bastard has disappeared! He must have run off to Tianxing!"

"Damn! How can this woman fabricate such things out of thin air."

The coach was also helpless: "How did I not know that I\'m actually being manipulated by you? This accusation is too preposterous. Zhaoyu, just say the word, and we\'re ready to testify for you."

The rest of the club members sent messages one after another, all indicating that they were ready to testify at any time.

Ye Zhaoyu replied to each one, asking them not to worry and that there was no rush to speak up; he knew what he was doing.

Everyone was still concerned about whether Ye Zhaoyu was too soft-hearted towards Tong Simeng and advised him that when it was time to strike back, he should do so decisively.

Ye Zhaoyu couldn\'t help but feel a mix of amusement and helplessness.

He wasn\'t so love-struck as to be blinded, was he?

Only after reassuring everyone that he was merely waiting for the right moment to counterattack did the club members start to feel a bit more at ease.

Now online.

Two camps of public opinion began to emerge.

One group expressed that Tong Simeng just told one side of the story and urged her to bring out concrete evidence; the video was so brief and appeared edited, suggesting that if they truly wanted netizens to judge, then the full video should be released.

The other camp couldn\'t wait to start questioning Ye Zhaoyu, and some had even apologized to Tong Simeng, saying they had misunderstood her before. It was unclear whether these were genuine or trolls hired by Yue Heng.

Anyhow.

The controversy definitely started to grow louder after Tong Simeng stirred things up.

Afterwards, Su Fan also came forward, stating directly on his account that everything Tong Simeng said was true, and he was demoted precisely because he was unwilling to ingratiate himself with Ye Zhaoyu.

As a two-time champion mid-laner, Su Fan already had some fans, and his fans were initially feeling aggrieved; now they were stirred up, demanding an explanation from the club everywhere.

It was at this moment.

Without a word, Ye Zhaoyu quietly released the full video.

He didn\'t write a long post or play the victim; he simply uploaded the video on Weibo.

People clicked to watch.

Oh!

This scene looks a bit familiar, doesn\'t it?

Upon closer look.

???

Isn\'t this the same video Tong Simeng released not long ago?

The netizens asked Tong Simeng for the full video, but she didn\'t release it, and now, Ye Zhaoyu did.

The video was only a few minutes long.

Soon, a large crowd had watched it.

Everyone was somewhat stunned.

What the fuck???

Before clicking on the video, they had no idea it would carry such significant information.

What was going on?

Tong Simeng took the initiative to admit she had leaked some information to Tianxing Club?

Although she insisted it wasn\'t on purpose, wasn\'t this intentionally provoking Ye Zhaoyu?

Could it be that Ye Zhaoyu was provoked into attacking her?

If you keep watching, you\'ll find that Ye Zhaoyu was incredibly calm. Far from being enraged, he casually said those things weren\'t important because they were the champions.

This Tong Simeng even tried to steal a USB drive? In the end, although she didn\'t succeed, for a thief like her to have the audacity to show up and accuse, claiming Ye Zhaoyu shouldn\'t have played her?

This righteous demeanor seriously made people doubt whether they were living on the same planet.

Even so.

Ye Zhaoyu didn\'t lay a hand on her, instead, it was Tong Simeng who rushed up in a frenzied manner, only then did Ye Zhaoyu push her slightly.

In that moment, Ye Zhaoyu clearly didn\'t use much force, but Tong Simeng flew out as if she were a piece of paper.

People: "??? "

From the edited clip, it wasn\'t too obvious.

But looking at the complete picture.

The force used by Ye Zhaoyu seemed even less than that of Tong Simeng, right?

If a push like that could send someone flying.

Then does Ye Zhaoyu possess some kind of martial arts? It\'s impossible to not have any internal strength.

With the release of this full video, there was no need for Ye Zhaoyu to stand up and say anything more.

The outraged public who felt they were played immediately flocked to Tong Simeng\'s Weibo comments!

"!!! I just knew why Tianxing Team always seemed to know so much about TC Team; the Tianxing fans keep arguing, saying they just researched thoroughly—is that wrong? Now, take back those words! Your boss has long betrayed you, resorting to cheap tricks, worming a lot of secrets out of Tong Simeng!"

"What\'s the key point? Tong Simeng deliberately said those things just to anger Ye Zhaoyu, didn\'t she? I got so pissed just listening. Yet Ye Zhaoyu stayed calm throughout. So this guy who seems to be a composed man is actually a violent control freak? I don\'t believe you for a second!"
