Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 869 - 416: Never Underestimate the Evil in Human Nature

Chapter 869: Chapter 416: Never Underestimate the Evil in Human Nature

Wang Qingyan signed up for the women’s 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter butterfly, and women’s 400-meter medley.

Butterfly has never been Hua Country’s strong suit. Wang Qingyan had already shown her best performance in the butterfly category earlier, breaking the domestic record for women’s butterfly events, which is why she is so sought after by the sports world.

Because the 100-meter and 200-meter butterfly events conflicted with the times for the 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle preliminaries, Wang Qingyan had to give up the 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle.

Her dominance in freestyle was far less than in butterfly, so she easily made the decision without much struggle.

In fact, she really wanted to give up the 50-meter freestyle because it meant she would have a direct confrontation with Shen You’an, that nightmare of being crushed in group training... She really didn’t want to experience it again in front of the national TV audience, it was too embarrassing.

However, these event choices were the best decisions made by the coaching staff after weighing the pros and cons and based on the athletes’ physical conditions and training performances. If she doesn’t have a reason to convince the coaching staff, she can’t withdraw from the competition.

She can’t withdraw from the competition, but what if Shen You’an withdraws?

"Qingyan, something happened. I heard someone on our women’s team had a problem with their urine test, and people have already come to investigate," said Wu Xue, Wang Qingyan’s closest teammate, as she ran over.

Wang Qingyan’s breath skipped a beat, and she strongly suppressed her inner excitement, asking calmly, "What? Who is it? So daring."

"I don’t know, but it’s someone from our ladies’ team. It’s a huge embarrassment. Those foreign athletes already look down on us; if they know one of our teammates got caught in this doping scandal, I can’t imagine how they’ll laugh at us."

"Our women’s team has fought many battles worldwide and never had this kind of problem. So who exactly is causing the issue?"

Upon hearing Wang Qingyan’s slightly pointed question, Wu Xue suddenly reacted: "It’s Shen You’an."

Wu Xue seemed to have discovered a bombshell, she couldn’t contain her excitement: "I always wondered how Shen You’an, who looks as skinny as a skeleton, could be so amazing. Turns out she took banned substances to boost her stamina. Does she usually rely on cheating to win? So shameless."

Wu Xue didn’t notice the pride in Wang Qingyan’s eyes; she felt an urgent need to share the "good" news with others and opened a small group chat filled with women’s team members. They had many group chats, but this one was specifically for gossip.

Wu Xue: I have a bombshell to tell everyone—Shen You’an had a problem with her urine test and has now been taken away for investigation.

Zhu Yiyi: Oh my god, are you sure? How is this possible?

Shi Rui: Haha, I knew there was something special about her being so formidable. Now it makes sense! This dark horse is causing a stir before even appearing. Haha, I really want to know how the coach feels now.

Yao Jia: No way, Shen You’an doesn’t seem like that kind of person. Maybe you’re mistaken. Perhaps she accidentally took something. This has happened before, and those athletes are all fighting for national glory. Don’t say something so harsh.

Shi Rui: @Yao Jia, now you’re playing the nice guy? What, did Shen You’an say a few words to you and you’re willing to be her maid? Check yourself and see if you’re even worthy.

Zhu Yiyi: Why are you guys fighting? We’ll know soon enough if it’s true or not.

Shi Rui: Haha, anyway, for people with privileges like her, even if something happens, the coach will cover for her and pretend nothing happened. Why should we be in a hurry?

Wu Xue: No way, this kind of thing can’t be covered up. Those people won’t give face to anyone. A ban is inevitable, maybe she won’t be able to participate in competitions for the rest of her life.

Shi Rui: Having a teammate like that is sickening. I hope she gets banned, the further she rolls the better.

Wu Xue: She wants everything—she wants the halo of a top student and the honor of being an athlete. How can she succeed at both? That’s why she took the crooked path. And now, it’s all gone up in smoke. I’m starting to suspect that her top student halo has some inside story too.

Shi Rui: @Wu Xue, isn’t your cousin a computer genius? Let him check into Shen You’an, maybe he can dig up quite a bit and expose that fake face.

Wu Xue: I’ll ask my cousin.

Shi Rui: @Tang Yuanyuan, aren’t you the one who cozies up to Shen You’an every day? Silence now?

Tang Yuanyuan was in the group, but she never spoke, only lurked.

She read all the messages, wishing she could rush in and scold the rumor-makers.

"An’an, look at these people. They’re spreading more and more outrageous things, even saying you were taken away for investigation, accusing you of cheating. They only dare gossip behind your back. Why don’t they face you directly?"

The competitions officially started tomorrow. Shen You’an found a foot bath place that evening, pulling Tang Yuanyuan along to enjoy a foot massage.

Only by relaxing both body and mind can one perform better in the competition.

But unfortunately, at such an enjoyable moment, Tang Yuanyuan was still immersed in those chaotic things.

"Put down the phone, don’t waste such a great time."

Shen You’an’s voice was ethereal and calm, inexplicably reassuring.

Tang Yuanyuan was anxious: "They’re spreading rumors about you, trash-talking you so badly."

"They have their mouths, they can say whatever they want, I can’t control them."

And don’t want to control them.

Tang Yuanyuan was extremely anxious; Shen You’an was too calm.

Shen You’an closed her eyes with a slight curve at her lips, "To bring about their downfall, first drive them mad."

Tang Yuanyuan looked at Shen You’an’s serene and beautiful profile, suddenly calming down.

These days by Shen You’an’s side, she truly learned a lot.

"To bring about their downfall, first drive them mad." Tang Yuanyuan chewed over this phrase, pondering the deeper meaning as An’an said it.

Then the bell rang, and Tang Yuanyuan saw it was her aunt calling, quickly answering.

"What?" Something said on the phone made Tang Yuanyuan sit up like a carp leaping out of water.

"Okay, got it, thanks Aunt."

After hanging up, Tang Yuanyuan’s face was quite pale.

Shen You’an opened her eyes.

Tang Yuanyuan was about to cry: "An’an, that water really does have a problem."

Shen You’an was not surprised—or rather, it was expected.

From the start, Shen You’an didn’t think Wang Qingyan was that evil; it was the experiences of the past life constantly reminding her never to underestimate the evil in human nature.

She had suffered too much, and learned from her mistakes.

Tang Yuanyuan couldn’t control her tears: "Thank goodness you warned me, otherwise I would have been taken for investigation today. An’an, why? Why does she want to hurt me? What wrong have I committed?"

This foolish girl.

Shen You’an sighed, gently patting her back to comfort her.

"I’m the one who implicated you."

Tang Yuanyuan looked at Shen You’an with tear-filled eyes, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

Shen You’an didn’t want to explain, lifted her hand to gently wipe away her tears: "Everyone must bear the consequences of their actions."
