Chapter 286: Tennis

“Brother Dong, we really are willing to help you out. All we need is an order, and we’ll carry it out—every single one of us is here to assist.”

“I know, but it’s not that!” Zhang Dong shook his head in disbelief. His eyes were practically shining as soon as he read Principal Kong’s full statement. “It’s Principal Kong. He had already clarified for us.”

“What?”

The students blinked unsure what to believe.

Zhang Dong handed the phone to them. Seeing Principal Kong’s interaction with the netizens, they finally believed their friend’s words. They gaped in disbelief. What the hell?

He was really telling the truth!

The person who had defended Yao Tang was really the principal of their No. 1 High School. It was the real deal!

Staring at Zhang Dong’s account, they also realized that a few of the school’s students had posted their own clarification. In fact, they were the only ones who had come in late.

Just then, a tweet shot up to their notification list, surprising them all. The tweet stated that a “famous tennis coach reveals the tennis fraud in No. 1 High School”. They snorted in disgust.

“Why do people keep spreading rumors?”

“Shouldn’t the storm have already subsided by now? Hasn’t our principal come forward already?”

“What the hell is going on?”

“I heard that this tennis coach is very famous. He became a coach after he retired as a national athlete. He had earned tens of millions of fans all over the world. He’s extremely good!”

Dong Zhang clicked on the coach’s profile and saw that the person was none other than Peng Wang. He was the one who had posted the content. He was an enthusiast, just like him, the difference was that he had an extremely large follower base.

“This must be fake! Have you guys seen Peng Wang’s post? He’s a professional, unlike us amateurs.”

“Yeah, the Principal must only be commenting on this because he was protecting his good student. He’s just out there protecting the school’s reputation instead of letting the student take accountability for her actions.”

“I ask that the student be immediately expelled! Those who had produced this video should also be suspended.”

“Come on, let’s get Peng Wang’s video trending. We should expose this student for who she really is.”

It seemed that the comment section had turned upside down once again.

The coach who had posted the video was one of the most famous tennis enthusiasts on the platform. Not only did he have fans, but he also had a lot of influence in the tennis sphere.

It was no wonder that the people readily believed him.

Everyone immediately wanted to see what Peng Wang had thought of the recent events.

“I am 95% sure that this video is simply for internet exposure. I’ll explain why.”

On the next tweet, he wrote, “You’ve seen how professional athletes have struggled to hit that ball at the certain angle, right? Do you really think this could be done by a beginner student?”

“I had a small guess, so I asked the technical department to help with my theory. In the end, I got the result I needed.”

“It seems that the video was processed and synthesized. The sound of her hitting the ball had only been an added effect, and the actual hit has been accelerated during the edits. The players—they were merely actors.”

“I can understand why the Principal of No. 1 High School would be protecting its students, but what I condone is the act of students dirtying the tennis profession.”

“By doing this, you’re only making a mockery out of tennis!”

His long thread of tweets immediately began to trend. Soon enough, the number of views exceeded 300,000!

Inside Beijing’s luxurious apartment, a shirtless man sat in his couch with a phone on his hand.

On his other hand was steamed chicken feet. He was staring at the screen of his phone with a smile on his face.

That man was none other than Wang Peng.
