Chapter 1068 FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED
1068 FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED
NEARING the Bai family mansion, Luo Yan received a very concerning phone call from Yu Jiao.
"Jiao Jiao, can you repeat that again?" he asked to make sure that he's not hearing wrong.
"Ahm, as I've said, a photo of you and Shen Ji Yun trended in the game category..."
First she explained how it only started as the original poster wanting to ask for clarification if they were really YUN and Noctis, then it escalated to them being troublemakers who loved fighting, and finally for people requesting team Yunyue to be expelled from the Arcadia Cup.
With Yu Jiao repeating everything, it finally registered in Luo Yan's mind that those things really did happen. He suddenly felt an incoming headache.
How could a simple picture in front of a police station turned into this situation? Should he say that people's imagination was just that impressive or that their brain was just built differently?
He pinched the bridge of his nose to ease the tension he's feeling. Should he be thankful that the picture that had gone viral was this picture instead of a picture of them holding hands while he was wearing a wig? Things could have definitely been worse. But he couldn't really be grateful for this, could he?
While he was thinking of how he should solve this, Yu Jiao's next words put his worry to rest.
"But everything is solved now. The police station involved posted a statement, and it somehow trended in the gaming category. Then people started to piece everything together, and it was soon proven that you and Shen Ji Yun were innocent."
Yu Jiao then explained more clearly how that came to be. After listening to it, the tension in his body finally seemed to dissipate. Of course, he knew that this thing didn't just 'somehow' happened. Someone was definitely working behind the scenes to manipulate people's opinion and push things in this ideal direction.
Considering that four out of five members of their team didn't have time to check on Weibo right now, there's only one remaining who could possibly spend time to solve this. He most likely asked for help, maybe from Uncle Yi Mu. That's why things moved this fast.
He heard Yu Jiao's soft chuckle at the other end. "Yes, that's certainly how it should be."
After talking a bit more and thanking Yu Jiao for informing him about this, the two ended the call.
Luo Yan was glad that things were wrapped up quickly. If it didn't, it might even reach his father and older brother. They hadn't yet told the two about what happened. If they somehow found out about it through Weibo, things would just get more complicated.
"Is something the matter?" Shen Ji Yun asked.
Luo Yan turned to the other. It was only then that he noticed that they had already arrived at their destination.
"Well, Brother Ji Yun, you see..."
And then he told Shen Ji Yun of what he learned from Yu Jiao. After he finished, Shen Ji Yun showed a contemplative look on his face.
"It must be Bai Ze," he said in conclusion. "Maybe Uncle also helped."
"I think so too," Luo Yan agreed. "We should prepare something for him, at least. He probably had a lot of headache fixing the situation."
Shen Ji Yun nodded. "I will prepare a lunch box for him, as well as a box of cake."
Luo Yan blinked when he heard the unconventional 'gift'. And then just laughed. Because he had a feeling Bai Ze would definitely like it.
