One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

202  Chapter 179 The First Time He Was Given a Task

Ye Xiao did not change this part of the story, naturally, Tong Simeng got her wish to meet with Ye Zhaoyu alone.

Ye Zhaoyu looked at her coldly, "Tong Simeng, what on earth do you want to do? If you have something to say, say it quickly. Once you're done, leave immediately."

Tong Simeng revealed a wronged expression and carefully said, "Zhaoyu, are you treating me like this because you discovered... found out I accidentally leaked some information to Tianxing?"

Ye Zhaoyu said indifferently, "I found out. But there's no need to talk about that now. We are the champions."

Tong Simeng bit her lower lip, "But I really didn't do it on purpose."

Ye Zhaoyu just sneered sarcastically.

"That USB drive, you switched it with the Calabash Kids on purpose, right?" Tong Simeng couldn't help saying, "Do you know how much you've made me suffer by doing this?"

Ye Zhaoyu found it even more laughable, "I can put whatever I want on my own USB drive. You stole my things, and now you have the nerve to say these insincere words? Tong Simeng, you've really opened my eyes."

Tong Simeng bit her lip, "I really leaked some information by accident. But you, you've held a grudge against me because of it, even deliberately setting a trap to mock me. Ye Zhaoyu, you're not human."

Suddenly, Tong Simeng shouted and rushed forward to grab at Ye Zhaoyu.

Ye Zhaoyu was stunned for a moment.

This woman is crazy, right?

Why is she suddenly freaking out?

He was about to go for an interview.

What if she scratched him and left marks, how would he explain it? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Zhaoyu couldn't help but give her a push.

But with this push, Tong Simeng flew out instantaneously, landing on the ground.

There was a loud thud.

Ye Zhaoyu looked at his palm and was crossed by a few question marks on his forehead.

What was this?

Had he accidentally learned kung fu, and that move just now was… the Buddha's Palm?

"Captain Ye, it's time to go to the backstage for the interview, this side…"

Suddenly.

A staff member pushed the door open.

Surely with so many team members around, but under the control of the plot, no one thought to stop them.

The staff member pushed the door and immediately saw Tong Simeng on the ground.

He was a bit dazed.

What… what is this situation?

Ye Zhaoyu didn't know what was going on either!

Tong Simeng's face immediately showed a pained expression, and she accused Ye Zhaoyu, "Ye Zhaoyu, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person! Although we had some misunderstandings, I only came this time to wish you a victory. Yet, you just suddenly went crazy and tried to attack me! Your fans say, being with you, I've hit the jackpot, I should be content, but they have no idea, you're temperamental, being with you, I'm constantly controlled by you mentally, and I live in constant fear that you'll suddenly lose your temper. Betraying you and getting together with Yue Heng was indeed my mistake! But aren't you at fault too? If you hadn't been like a tyrant, temperamental and explosive, I wouldn't have done such a thing!"

After saying this, she didn't wait for Ye Zhaoyu to react.

Tong Simeng struggled to get up, then cried as she left.

A hundred little question marks flew around in Ye Zhaoyu's head.

He's tyrannical and explosive, and has been manipulating her mentally, and now physically assaulting her?

What kind of nonsense was that?

Since being with Tong Simeng, he knew he had done nothing to make her unhappy.

Ye Zhaoyu really wanted to have a good talk with Tong Simeng, but Tong Simeng had already left, leaving only a bewildered staff member.

The staff member was also a bit dazed.

Had he heard something he wasn't supposed to? Was Ye Zhaoyu actually like this?

It didn't seem likely.

But now wasn't the time to delve into that. The staff member put on a smile, "Captain Ye, this time you and the coach are invited for an interview."

Ye Zhaoyu nodded and agreed.

On the other side,

Ye Xiao watched the unfolding drama, a cold smile playing on his lips.

21:18

In the original text,

Tong Simeng had gone there with a miniature camera, so she captured everything on film.

But she definitely wouldn't release all of it.

Just like the situations described in the book before, Tong Simeng trimmed the start and end of the footage, then released the edited video.

Although Ye Xiao had yet to see the true nature of the video, according to the script,

it was nothing more than an edit to make Ye Zhaoyu appear as a violent maniac; this way, it would not only ruin Ye Zhaoyu but also instantaneously clear Tong Simeng of her adulterous actions.

This time, the reason Ye Xiao didn't stop Tong Simeng from doing this

was simply because of a sentence in the original text:

"There are no cameras in this room, so Ye Zhaoyu is completely without recourse."

Ye Xiao promptly began to modify it.

Initially, Ye Xiao wanted to

change "There are no cameras in this room" directly into "There are cameras in this room".

This way, he would need to modify only one word.

But then,

Ye Xiao considered how these few books had started to become more and more unscrupulous.

Merely having cameras seemed insufficiently safe.

Ye Xiao decided to spend a few more words.

He changed it to "There are operational cameras in this room".

He deleted one word and added four, costing him five words in total.

However, Ye Xiao felt that his caution was necessary.

As long as there was comprehensive surveillance footage, Tong Simeng's cut and edited video would turn into a joke.

She wanted to use it to step on Ye Zhaoyu and whiten her own reputation.

But then,

The more outrageous her actions before, the more her face would be slapped when the complete video came out.

For now, let Tong Simeng indulge in her delightful fantasy for a while.

At this moment, Ye Zhaoyu was probably waiting backstage for his interview.

Ye Xiao turned around and whispered a few words to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan's expression shifted slightly, and he quickly responded solemnly.

Earlier, Ye Xiao's internal monologue had given him a rough idea of the trouble at Ye Zhaoyu's end.

Now, Ye Xiao was telling him to find a way to get the resting room's surveillance footage as soon as possible, to avoid any complications that may arise with time.

Of course, Gu Yan didn't hesitate to agree.

As Ye Bolin's good friend and with the Ye Family having invested in a club that Gu Yan was rather optimistic about, he too had become a sponsor. In fact, the finals were sponsored by the Gu Family, so asking for the footage wouldn't be a big issue for him.

Even if there were problems, he would make sure those problems disappeared.

This was the first time Ye Xiao had directly asked him to do something, and he intended to execute it flawlessly.

Moreover,

Why would Ye Xiao charge him with such an important task instead of Lin Yun, if not because it mattered?

Before leaving, Gu Yan cast a casual glance at Lin Yun.

See, when a real crisis comes, I'm the first choice,

Lin Yun gave him a look and then silently took Ye Xiao's hand, gradually leaning closer to him.

Gu Yan: "..."
