After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 82 Send you a hot search

At the dinner, everyone enjoyed the food and shared interesting stories in life. Ah Hao started to show his comedy talent again, telling all kinds of jokes and making everyone laugh. Sang Shuwan and Jiang Cimu talked quietly, recalling some details in the game. Nancy and Yi Shuqi gathered together to discuss fashion and beauty topics.

The whole banquet hall was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere, and everyone was immersed in this wonderful time. This dinner was not only a celebration of the victory of the game, but also a testimony to their friendship. In this castle journey full of mystery and challenges, they gained victory and also gained precious friendship.

In the warm and joyful atmosphere of the dinner, Yi Shuqi's face gradually turned pale. She gently rubbed her temples, trying to relieve her physical discomfort. The careful Sang Shuwan was the first to notice her abnormality, and approached her with concern and asked: "Qiqi, are you feeling unwell? You don't look well."

Yi Shuqi forced a smile and said softly, "Maybe I'm a little tired from recording the show these two days. I have a headache and I feel weak all over."

Hearing this, Nancy quickly came over, touched Yi Shuqi's forehead, and said worriedly: "It seems that you have a low-grade fever. Why don't you stop holding on and go back to your room to rest, or we can take you to the hospital?"

Yi Shuqi shook her head and said, "No need to go to the hospital. I'll go back to my room and take a nap and I should be fine. You guys continue to play, don't let me spoil everyone's fun."

Jiang Cimu also said, "Your health is the most important thing. Let's take you back to your room."

Under everyone's insistence, Yi Shuqi had to agree to leave early. Everyone called the staff and explained it to them. After watching Yi Shuqi leave, Sang Shuwan, Nancy and Jiang Cimu decided to take a walk by the lake outside the castle.

The lakeside is particularly quiet at night, with moonlight like water, sprinkling on the sparkling lake surface, like a layer of silver gauze. The breeze blows gently, bringing the scent of the lake water, mixed with the fragrance of the surrounding flowers and plants, making people feel particularly comfortable.

Sang Shuwan took a deep breath and said, "Today's game was so exciting. Now that I'm relaxed, it feels like a dream."

Nancy smiled and responded: "Yes, but we have also experienced a 'life and death test' together, and our relationship will definitely be even stronger in the future."

Jiang Cimu nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Sang Shuwan, and he said gently: "Today is all thanks to you. If you hadn't calmly analyzed the situation and used the antidote and poison in time, it would have been difficult for us to win so smoothly."

Sang Shuwan's cheeks flushed slightly, and he said modestly: "I just did what I should do. It's mainly because your prediction was accurate and pointed us in the right direction."

The three of them walked slowly along the lake, the gravel road under their feet made a slight rustling sound. Occasionally, a few night birds flew over their heads, leaving behind a few crisp chirps.

Nancy looked at her reflection in the lake and suddenly said with emotion: "This recording session was not only fun, but it also allowed me to get to know you better. I think our friendship is really precious."

Sang Shuwan took Nancy's arm and said, "That's right. I hope that no matter what we encounter in the future, we can face it together and overcome it together, just like we did when we played the game this time."

Jiang Cimu looked at them, his eyes full of warmth: "I certainly will. I will be by your side no matter what happens."

Unconsciously, they had been walking by the lake for a long time, and their mood became more and more relaxed. The ancient castle in the distance looked even more mysterious and beautiful under the moonlight, as if it was quietly guarding this beautiful time that belonged to them.

When they turned around and prepared to return to the castle, Sang Shuwan couldn't help but look back at the lake again, silently hoping that they would have more such wonderful moments together in the future.

When Sang Shuwan, Nancy and Jiang Cimu turned around and prepared to return to the castle, Sang Shuwan inadvertently glanced at a shadow by the lake. The shadow looked familiar in the moonlight, and she subconsciously stopped and took a closer look. It was Sang Jiuyue.

Sang Jiuyue sat alone on a big rock by the lake, her hands wrapped around her knees, staring blankly at the lake. The breeze blew, her hair fluttered wantonly, and she looked a little lonely.

Sang Shuwan frowned slightly, a trace of doubt in his heart, and couldn't help but whispered: "Is that Sang Jiuyue? Why is she here?"

Nancy and Jiang Cimu followed Sang Shuwan's gaze and saw Sang Jiuyue. Nancy was a little surprised and said, "It's really her. Didn't she leave earlier?"

Jiang Cimu's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance. He subconsciously stood in front of Sang Shuwan and said, "Be careful. Who knows what bad ideas she might be planning again."

Sang Shuwan gently patted Jiang Cimu's arm, signaling him not to worry, and then said, "Let's go over and see what she wants to do."

The three of them walked slowly towards Sang Jiuyue, their footsteps were particularly clear in the silent night. Sang Jiuyue seemed to sense someone approaching, turned around, and saw that it was Sang Shuwan and the others. A flash of resentment flashed across his eyes for a moment, and then he quickly returned to his nonchalant look.

"Hey, aren't you the big winners? How come you have time to come here?" Sang Jiuyue spoke first, her voice sharp and full of sarcasm.

Sang Shuwan looked at her and asked calmly, "We came out for a walk, but why are you here alone? Didn't you leave earlier?"

Sang Jiuyue snorted coldly, turned her head away, and said disdainfully: "Do I need to report to you where I am going? I can stay if I want to, and leave if I want to."

Despite her unkind tone, Sang Shuwan still said patiently: "It's so late, it's not safe to be alone by the lake. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly."

Sang Jiuyue suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, looked at Sang Shuwan provocatively, and said, "Why, are you pretending to care about me now? Don't think you're great just because you won the game. It's just luck."

Nancy couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Sang Jiuyue, don't go too far. It's normal to win and lose in a game. If you can't afford to lose, don't play."

Sang Jiuyue turned her gaze to Nancy and said viciously, "Stop meddling in other people's business here. Say it again if you have the guts!"

Seeing this, Jiang Cimu protected Sang Shuwan and Nancy behind him and said to Sang Jiuyue seriously, "Sang Jiuyue, you'd better restrain yourself. Let's part ways in peace and don't make things too ugly."

Sang Jiuyue looked at Jiang Cimu with hatred in her eyes, and gnashed her teeth and said, "Jiang Cimu, don't think you are great just because you are a prophet. If it weren't for you, how could I lose! And you, Sang Shuwan, don't think I don't know that you have always wanted to suppress me."

Sang Shuwan frowned and said, "Sang Jiuyue, you are being unreasonable. In the game, everyone serves their own master. If you lose, you should accept the loss instead of making a fuss here."

Sang Jiuyue sneered and said, "Are you willing to accept defeat? I'm not that magnanimous. I'll remember what happened today. Let's wait and see!" After that, she turned around abruptly, stepped on her high heels, and walked angrily towards the castle. Every step seemed to use up all her strength, venting her dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart.

Sang Shuwan looked at her receding back, sighed helplessly, and said, "I really don't know when she will be able to let go of these meaningless fights."

Nancy also shook her head and said, "She is just too strong-willed. She is upset because she lost the game, so she is like this. Ignore her and let's go back."

Jiang Cimu looked at Sang Shuwan and Nancy and said, "Well, everyone be careful, who knows what she might do next."

The three of them turned around and walked towards the castle with a hint of worry. Under the moonlight, their shadows were stretched out, and Sang Jiuyue's hateful eyes and bad words were like a dark cloud hanging over their hearts, making people worry about what troubles would happen in the future.

Sang Shuwan looked at Sang Jiuyue's receding back, feeling a little uneasy. She knew that Sang Jiuyue was narrow-minded. After losing the game and making such a fuss, she might come up with some way to retaliate. Thinking of this, she turned to look at Jiang Cimu and Nancy and suggested, "Why don't we go somewhere else? It feels a little uncomfortable to stay near the castle all the time."

Nancy nodded in agreement immediately. "I think, too. Maybe a change of environment will make me feel better."

Jiang Cimu frowned slightly, glanced around, and finally nodded, "Okay, but everyone must be careful and don't disperse."

The three of them came to the lake and found a small boat quietly moored on the shore. The boat was not big, but it looked strong enough to carry the three of them. Sang Shuwan took the lead and carefully checked the boat and oars. After confirming that there was no problem, he called Nancy and Jiang Cimu to get on the boat.

"Let me row the boat." Jiang Cimu took the initiative and took the oar from Sang Shuwan and sat steadily at the bow. Sang Shuwan and Nancy sat in the middle of the boat, and the boat swayed slightly with their movements.

Jiang Cimu paddled hard, and the boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the center of the lake. The moonlight sprinkled on the lake, sparkling and beautiful like a dream. The breeze blew gently, bringing the fresh breath of the lake, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Wow, the night view here is so beautiful!" Nancy couldn't help but exclaimed. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the water, splashing a string of crystal water.

Sang Shuwan was also attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her, and temporarily forgot the unpleasantness just now. She closed her eyes, felt the breeze on her face, and her mood gradually relaxed.

However, just as they were immersed in this beautiful atmosphere, Sang Shuwan suddenly felt the boat shake, followed by a slight "creaking" sound. She was startled and opened her eyes to find that Jiang Cimu had also stopped his movements, with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's going on?" Nancy asked nervously, her hands tightly grasping the side of the boat.

Sang Shuwan looked down at the bottom of the boat and vaguely saw some water seeping in. Her heart sank suddenly, realizing that something was wrong.

"Oh no, the boat seems to be leaking!" Sang Shuwan said anxiously.

Jiang Cimu immediately put down the oars and squatted down to check the situation. He saw a small hole in the bottom of the boat, and water was pouring in from the hole.

"Someone must have done this on purpose!" A trace of anger flashed in Jiang Cimu's eyes, and the first person he thought of was Sang Jiuyue.

Sang Shuwan gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that Sang Jiyue really won't give up. She wants to cause trouble for us."

Nancy's face turned pale, and she asked worriedly, "What should we do now? How long can this ship last?"

Jiang Cimu looked around and found that they were already some distance away from the shore. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "Don't panic, let's try to plug the hole with something first, and then slowly paddle towards the shore."

As he said this, he began to look for something to plug the hole in the boat. Sang Shuwan and Nancy also came to help. They searched every corner of the boat and finally found a piece of tattered cloth.

Jiang Cimu took the cloth and stuffed it into the hole, temporarily alleviating the leakage. But he knew that this was only a temporary solution and they had to return to the shore as soon as possible.

"I'll row the boat, and you keep an eye on the hole. If the cloth falls off, tell me immediately." Jiang Cimu picked up the oar again and rowed hard.

With Jiang Cimu's efforts, the boat slowly moved towards the shore. However, as the boat continued to take on water, the speed of the boat became slower and slower, and the shaking became more and more severe.

Sang Shuwan and Nancy stared at the hole closely, not daring to slack off. Their mood became more and more nervous as the boat swayed, wondering if they could return to the shore safely.

At this critical moment, the three people's hearts were closely connected together, and they were all trying hard to return to the shore safely.

Sang Jiuyue stood on the shore not far away, with her arms folded across her chest, a smug yet malicious smile on her face, watching the boat struggling in the lake. Her eyes seemed to be appreciating a wonderful farce, and she had no intention of lending a helping hand to the plight of the three people on the boat.

"Hmph, you guys are so proud, now you know how powerful I am." Sang Jiuyue muttered in a low voice, with a gloating light in her eyes. She had already taken advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly tampered with the boat, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

At this time, Jiang Cimu was rowing with all his strength, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, wetting his collar. He gritted his teeth, and every stroke of the oar seemed to use up all his strength, but the boat was moving very hard under the influence of the continuous influx of lake water.

Sang Shuwan stared at the cloth that blocked the hole, not daring to be distracted. If the cloth was loosened, a large amount of lake water would rush in instantly, and the boat would sink faster. Her heart was in her throat, and she was so nervous that she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

Nancy was terrified, her eyes full of helplessness. She looked at the water that kept seeping in, then at Jiang Cimu who was rowing hard and Sang Shuwan who was staring at the hole. She unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands and said in a trembling voice: "Will we...will we be in trouble?" "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to go back." Although Sang Shuwan was also very nervous, he still pretended to be calm and comforted Nancy, while silently praying in his heart that he could reach the shore as soon as possible.

As time went by, Jiang Cimu's movements gradually became slower, and his arms ached from overexertion, but he knew he couldn't stop. "Hold on, we're almost at the shore..." Jiang Cimu encouraged himself while rowing even harder.

Finally, with Jiang Cimu's unremitting efforts, the boat slowly approached the shore. Seeing this, Sang Shuwan and Nancy hurriedly stood up to help. The three of them worked together and successfully got ashore when the boat was about to sink.

They stood on the shore in a mess, soaked and gasping for breath. At this moment, Sang Shuwan saw Sang Jiuyue not far away. With anger burning in her eyes, she strode towards Sang Jiuyue.

"Sang Jiuyue, you've gone too far! Why did you do this?" Sang Shuwan was so angry that he was shaking all over, and questioned Sang Jiuyue loudly.

Sang Jiuyue did not feel guilty at all, and still sneered and said, "Humph, who told you to make me lose so badly in the game? This is what you get."

Jiang Cimu and Nancy also came forward. Jiang Cimu glared at Sang Jiuyue angrily and said, "Sang Jiuyue, your behavior is too bad. This joke is too much!"

Nancy couldn't help but accuse him, "How can you be so selfish? What if something goes wrong?"

However, Sang Jiuyue rolled her eyes in disdain and said, "Stop lecturing me here. How noble do you think you are? I'm just giving you a small lesson today. Be careful in the future!" After saying that, she turned around and walked away, leaving Sang Shuwan and the other two very angry.

"Don't bother with her. She's unreasonable." Nancy sighed helplessly and patted Sang Shuwan on the shoulder.

Sang Shuwan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Let's take this as a lesson learned. We all have to be careful of her in the future."

The three of them watched Sang Jiuyue's receding back, their hearts full of vigilance. After this incident, they knew that Sang Jiuyue's malicious intentions would not dissipate easily, and they would probably face more troubles from her in the future.

The next day, Sang Shuwan just opened his eyes and habitually picked up his phone, and was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him. The topic "Sang Jiyue was suspected by Sang Shuwan of deliberately tampering with the boat and causing her to fall off the boat" was at the top of the hot search list, like a fierce storm, instantly sweeping the entire network.

Sang Shuwan rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she saw. She quickly clicked on the topic, and an overwhelming amount of discussion came into view. Netizens were divided into several groups. Some people firmly believed that Sang Shuwan's suspicion was justified. After all, Sang Jiuyue's previous performance in the game made people feel that she had bad intentions, and it was not impossible that she deliberately tampered with the ship this time. Another group of people felt that Sang Shuwan's move was deliberately discrediting Sang Jiuyue, and believed that it was an unfair accusation against Sang Jiuyue to publicly suspect her without solid evidence. There were also some pure spectators who fanned the flames and expected both sides to give more explosive news.

Before Sang Shuwan recovered from the shock, her cell phone suddenly rang loudly. It was Jiang Cimu calling. "Shuwan, have you seen the trending searches? This matter has become too big." Jiang Cimu's voice was filled with anxiety.

"I just saw it, how could this happen?" Sang Shuwan's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, his heart full of confusion and anger.

"I don't know either. Someone must be pushing this matter behind the scenes." Jiang Cimu guessed, "Public opinion is very chaotic right now, which is very disadvantageous to us."

As they were talking, Nancy called again. Sang Shuwan hurriedly said a few words to Jiang Cimu and quickly answered Nancy's call. "Shuwan, the hot search... I'm confused, what should I do?" Nancy's voice was tearful.

"Don't panic, Nancy. Let's calm down first and think of a solution." Sang Shuwan pretended to be calm and tried to comfort Nancy.

After hanging up the phone, Sang Shuwan quickly packed up, went out to meet Jiang Cimu, and then rushed to Nancy's house together. The three of them sat in the living room, and the atmosphere was as heavy as the depression before the storm.

"Could it be that Sang Jiuyue directed and acted out this incident herself?" Jiang Cimu frowned and was the first to break the silence. "She deliberately made a big deal out of it and guided public opinion to make everyone think that she was the victim."

Sang Shuwan nodded and analyzed, "It's very likely. She was unwilling to fail yesterday, and maybe she had planned all this long ago. But we can't just let her lead us by the nose, we have to produce evidence."

"But where do we get any evidence? It was so chaotic at the time. We never expected this to happen, and there's nothing left to prove it," Nancy said a little frustrated.

Sang Shuwan fell into deep thought. After a moment, her eyes lit up and she said, "Although there is no direct evidence to prove that she was the one behind it, we can start from the side. For example, we can talk about her performance in the previous game, and her words and actions by the lake yesterday, and let the netizens judge for themselves."

Jiang Cimu agreed: "This method is feasible. We will explain the cause and effect of the matter in detail. I believe that netizens will make their own judgments."

So, Sang Shuwan posted a long article on Weibo, starting with the Werewolf game, describing in detail Sang Jiuyue's performance in the game, as well as what happened by the lake yesterday, including Sang Jiuyue's words and demeanor. Jiang Cimu and Nancy also forwarded the article and added their own explanations to support Sang Shuwan.

As they spoke out, public opinion began to slowly change. Many netizens re-examined the incident and felt that Sang Shuwan's statement was reasonable, and their doubts about Sang Jiuyue grew louder and louder. On the other hand, Sang Jiuyue was somewhat unprepared for this sudden reversal. She urgently convened a team meeting to discuss countermeasures and try to reverse the direction of public opinion again...

Sang Shuwan felt mixed emotions as she watched the direction of public opinion. She had no intention of making such a big fuss, she just wanted the truth to come out, but now that things have developed to this point, pressure from all sides has followed. Looking at the heated debates on the Internet and the accusations against her by some netizens who did not know the truth, she suddenly felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Maybe we shouldn't make things worse." Sang Shuwan looked at Jiang Cimu and Nancy, his eyes full of fatigue and helplessness.

Jiang Cimu and Nancy looked at her in surprise. Jiang Cimu frowned and said, "Shu Wan, why do you say that suddenly? We have come this far. If we give up now, won't all our efforts be wasted?"

Sang Shuwan sighed softly and explained, "Look, there's a lot of noise online right now. Although some people believe us, there are also many people blaming us. If this continues, the conflict will only get more intense, which is not good for any of us. Besides, I don't want more people to get hurt because of this."

Nancy nodded in understanding and said, "I understand what you mean, Shu Wan. But I really can't bear to let Sang Jiuyue off like this. She did such an excessive thing, doesn't she have to pay the price?"

Sang Shuwan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I am not willing to accept this either, but if we continue to argue with her online, we will probably end up in an endless war of words, which is not the result we want. Perhaps we can try to solve the problem in other ways."

Jiang Cimu thought for a moment and asked, "So what do you think?"

Sang Shuwan raised his head and said with a firm look: "I want to talk to Sang Jiuyue face to face to see if we can resolve the conflict between us. After all, it will not benefit anyone if we continue to be hostile like this."

Jiang Cimu and Nancy looked at each other. Although they were a little worried, they also felt that this might be a solution.

So, Sang Shuwan contacted Sang Jiuyue through a mutual friend and asked her to meet him. The meeting place was chosen to be a quiet cafe with a slightly depressing atmosphere.

Sang Jiuyue walked into the cafe and saw Sang Shuwan. A flash of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to her indifference. She walked over to sit opposite Sang Shuwan and asked coldly, "What do you want from me?"

Sang Shuwan took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Sang Jiuyue, I hope we can have a good talk. This hot search has become too big a deal and has had a bad impact on both of us. I don't want to go on like this. Is there any misunderstanding between us? We can resolve it."

Sang Jiuyue sneered and said, "Misunderstanding? Do you think this is a misunderstanding? From the beginning, you have always been targeting me, even in the game. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"

Sang Shuwan quickly explained: "Everyone has different positions in the game. It's just a game. I have never targeted you. It may be that there is some miscommunication between us that led to this result."

In that warm and elegantly decorated coffee shop, the warm yellow light was like fine golden sand, gently pouring into every corner, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of coffee, which should have been a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. However, Sang Shuwan and Sang Jiuyue, who were sitting by the window at this moment, made this world shrouded in an oppressive and almost suffocating atmosphere.

Sang Shuwan was the first to break the silence. She folded her hands in front of her, leaned forward slightly, and tried to make her tone gentle: "Ji Yue, I asked you to come here, I really just want to have a calm chat with you and resolve those inexplicable misunderstandings before. It's not good for any of us to continue to be in a stalemate like this. I sincerely hope that we can get along like ordinary friends." Her eyes were full of sincerity, trying to make Sang Ji Yue feel her kindness.

Sang Jiuyue looked like she had heard a huge joke. She folded her hands over her chest, leaned back slightly, and a mocking sneer instantly appeared on her face. "Sang Shuwan, do you think I will believe your lies? You asked me to come here so that you can continue to laugh at me and then pretend to pity me, right?" There was an imperceptible tremor in her voice, which was the result of long-suppressed emotions.

Sang Shuwan frowned slightly, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face, and he patiently explained: "I really didn't mean that. Over the years, I have always hoped that we could have a good relationship and don't want to create a gap because of some unnecessary things."

"Barrier?" Sang Jiuyue suddenly raised her voice, her sharp voice was particularly piercing in the cafe, attracting curious glances from the surrounding customers. Her eyes were full of resentment, like two burning flames, "Do you think this is just a simple barrier? From the beginning, whether it was a job opportunity or in various occasions, you were always surrounded by people like a star, and what about me? I could only be like a small transparent person, being trampled under your feet, and no one cared about me. Do you know how I struggled in this circle all these years?" She clenched her fists tightly, and her knuckles turned white because of the force.

Sang Shuwan looked innocent, his eyes full of confusion. "I never thought of suppressing you. At work, everyone strives for opportunities based on their true skills and abilities. I try my best to compete for every project. I really don't understand why you keep thinking this way and feel that I am targeting you."

Sang Jiuyue was like a lit powder keg. She slammed the table so hard that the coffee cups on the table shook. "Based on ability? Do you really think you are innocent? Take the last advertising endorsement, for example. From image to style, I was obviously more suitable for that product. I also spent a lot of time and energy on preparation in the early stage. But in the end? It was snatched away by you inexplicably. And that award ceremony, in order to be in the best condition on the stage, I started dieting, practicing dancing, and carefully preparing every detail a few months in advance, but in the end, you took all the limelight. Do you dare to say that there is no trick behind this?" Her chest was heaving violently, and her emotions were completely out of control.

Sang Shuwan took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. Her eyes were firm and sincere. "I got every job opportunity through a formal competition process. For advertising endorsements, I also went through multiple rounds of interviews and screenings. In the end, the brand felt that I was more suitable. This was the choice of the market and the professional team. At the award ceremony, everyone was recognized for their own work and hard work. This really has nothing to do with personal grudges. We should all respect the rules of this industry."

Sang Jiuyue simply wouldn't listen to any explanation. Her voice became increasingly sharp, almost a roar. "You always say that, and every time you make yourself sound so innocent, and push everything off completely. This time in the Werewolf game, you deliberately led everyone to target me from the beginning, and tripped me up in the game, just to make me look bad in front of everyone and become a laughing stock. And about that ship, why did you suspect that I was the one who did it without any evidence? You are deliberately framing me!"

Sang Shuwan couldn't help it any longer. She looked into Sang Jiuyue's eyes with a sharp and serious look. "Sang Jiuyue, you have done all this because of your own fault. In the game, everyone is abiding by the rules and competing fairly, but you took your anger out on others because you couldn't stand losing, and you totally ignored the team and the atmosphere of the game. As for the boat incident, your performance and attitude at the time were so weird that it was hard not to be suspicious. Moreover, in order to discredit me, you have fabricated those big lies on the Internet, posted those maliciously edited so-called evidence, misled netizens, and caused great damage to my reputation. Ask yourself with your conscience, do you think this is right?"

"I'm wrong?" Sang Jiuyue laughed in anger, with a hint of sadness in her laughter. "I'm just fighting for a little fairness for myself. In this circle, I've always been oppressed by you. You've always been high above me, and you don't know how much injustice I've suffered, and how much cold eyes and ridicule I've experienced. You called me here today, isn't it just to continue humiliating me, and then show off your victory?"

The two of them kept arguing, neither of them giving in, and their emotions were getting more and more agitated. The customers around them all looked at them in surprise, while others were talking quietly. But they were completely immersed in this fierce argument, as if the whole world was filled with the hostile voices of each other.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore. You have no intention of solving the problem and you keep making trouble here." Sang Shuwan shook her head in disappointment, her eyes full of fatigue. She stood up, and the chair made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the ground.

Sang Jiuyue also stood up, her chest heaving violently, and said viciously: "Sang Shuwan, don't be complacent, this matter is not over! Just wait, I won't let it go just like that!"

Sang Shuwan did not look back, but walked out of the cafe with firm steps. The sun shone on her, but it could not dispel the haze in her heart. This negotiation, which was intended to resolve the conflict, ended in dissatisfaction, and the conflict between the two became deeper, as if an insurmountable chasm lay between them.

In that dim room, Sang Jiuyue sat in front of the computer, her eyes bloodshot, staring at the screen, her fingers typing frantically on the keyboard. Her face was full of anger and unwillingness, and she kept muttering: "Sang Shuwan, don't you want to step on me? I won't let you do that!"

"My family, I have always worked hard in this circle and never dared to slack off. But some people, like wolves eyeing their prey, always pursue me relentlessly. Take the recording of the Werewolf game, for example. It should have been a relaxing and enjoyable activity, but for me, it was the beginning of a nightmare."

"From the beginning of the game, Sang Shuwan seemed to be at odds with me. In every round of speeches, she was like a prosecutor, finding fault with my every word, then distorting my meaning, and inciting other players to target me. Do you know that feeling? It was as if I was a sinner being judged by everyone, and she was the judge high above. I tried hard to defend myself in the game, but she didn't give me a chance at all, leading everyone to vote for me again and again." Sang Jiuyue became more and more excited as she spoke, tears flashing in her eyes, and her hands slammed heavily on the table.

"The game ended, and I thought everything was over. But by the lake, when I was sitting there alone, wanting to be quiet, she came over with Jiang Cimu and Nancy. They looked at me like a disgusting thing. They sneered at me, and every harsh word was like a knife stabbing my heart. I don't understand, what did I do wrong to be treated like this?"

"Immediately afterwards, the unfortunate boat started leaking. She actually threw the dirty water on me right away, saying that I deliberately damaged the boat. Please, how could I do such a dangerous thing? But she didn't care about all this and spread it all over the Internet, letting everyone blame me and say that I was a bad person." Sang Jiuyue's voice became sharp and a ferocious expression appeared on her face.

"I have evidence here. Please take a look at these chat records (attached with edited screenshots of the chat records, in which Sang Shuwan's words were taken out of context and looked very aggressive). This is only part of it. She usually treats me like this. And these photos (attached with blurry and deliberately angled photos, which seem to imply that Sang Shuwan and others are pointing fingers at her) are enough to prove that she has been targeting me and wants to drive me out of this circle."

"I have always worked hard and never hurt anyone. But Sang Shuwan has pushed me into a dead end time and time again. I've really had enough. Today I must speak out this so that everyone can see her true face and not be fooled by her false mask again!" Sang Jiuyue suddenly pressed the publish button, leaned back in his chair, a smug sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Sang Shuwan sat in front of the window filled with sunlight, looking solemnly at the long article written by Sang Jiuyue on the computer screen. Her hand tightly grasped the mouse, and her knuckles turned white from the force. After taking a deep breath, she began to type her response on the keyboard.

"Dear netizens, I have always believed that those who are innocent will be cleared, so I have tried my best to remain restrained in the face of various disturbances. But today, Sang Jiuyue's remarks have completely distorted the facts, and I have to stand up and tell everyone the truth."

"To me, that Werewolf game was just a game full of challenges and fun. In the game, I made judgments based on everyone's words and actions, which is the normal way to play the game. I don't have any personal grudges against Sang Jiuyue, and I didn't deliberately target her. Every vote and speech was based on game strategy, just like other players."

"As for what happened by the lake, when we found the boat leaking, I did have some doubts because of Sang Jiuyue's emotions in the previous game and her unfriendly attitude at the time, but I never concluded that she did it without evidence.
