LOL: The strongest all-Chinese team? My G2 top laner

[1000 negative emotion points consumed, lottery draw in progress...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: "The Innocent Will Clear Their Names (Label)"]

[The innocent will clear themselves (can be worn three times): After wearing, the rumors or slanders that have the greatest impact on the host will be clarified in a short period of time.]

[System notification: The host can hold a maximum of three tags at the same time]

Jiang Ling stared at the reward and remained silent for a few seconds.

Start thinking in your mind.

"The pure will themselves be pure?"

"The most impactful rumors or slanders are usually clarified in a relatively short period of time..."

"Isn't this just automated rumor debunking!"

"This is good stuff!"

"We live in the internet age, and those rotten rats in the gutter love to use rumors to stir up netizens' emotions and incite cyberbullying!"

"However, it can only be used three times."

"It should be used where it's most needed."

These days, the cost of spreading rumors is too low.

And what about debunking the rumors?

You can run yourself ragged and talk yourself hoarse, but in the end, those who believe will still believe, and those who don't will never believe.

There are still many rumors about him online.

For example, the reason he was relegated to the bench last summer season.

The most widely circulated version online is that he was dissatisfied with the coaching staff's arrangements, so he picked up his backpack in front of the management and declared that he was going to "go home and take the postgraduate entrance exam".

This version spread so widely that many fans believed it to be true.

However, some astute individuals pointed out that Jiang Ling couldn't possibly be unaware that this would constitute a breach of contract and require him to pay compensation to the club.

Then some people speculated that Jiang Ling didn't say "go home to take the postgraduate entrance exam" but rather "go home to take the civil service exam"!

Because as long as he passes the civil service exam, his employment contract with RNG will automatically become invalid, and he will not need to pay any penalty for breach of contract.

"With this kind of imaginative ability, it would be a waste not to write novels."

The book is titled "I Was Blocked from My Contract by RNG, But I Passed the Esports Civil Service Exam."

Every time Jiang Ling sees such comments, she wants to applaud those "brilliant" people.

Ultimately, it's because netizens are too kind.

"I always feel there's some reasonable explanation behind things, and I'm unwilling to believe that some clubs are simply bad."

Jiang Ling sighed.

Although these rumors were quite detailed and convincing on the internet, they were ultimately harmless to him.

At most, they'll just get a few teasing remarks.

What truly alarmed him were the rumors and gossip that emerged after the MSI ended.

Behind these rumors, there are obvious traces of online troll groups!

Jiang Ling knew the answer.

Someone like Damon will never let this go.

When he was with RNG, they targeted him in various ways.

Now he's criticizing everyone online and has even blocked him as a friend.

"That guy is petty; he'll definitely try to get back at me."

Jiang Ling opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"The innocent will be innocent" can only be used three times.

It must be used at the most critical moment.

"Then we'll use 'The innocent will clear themselves'."

"Let the dust settle, wait for the rumors to reach their peak, and then do a complete 1080-degree reversal."

"Those who insulted me, those who kicked me when I was down, those who wanted to see me make a fool of myself..."

"My mood will definitely be like a rollercoaster ride, going up and down."

"Won't the emotional points just keep pouring in then?"

Jiang Ling stroked his chin, even somewhat looking forward to that day.

Just then, my stomach suddenly growled.

A wave of hunger surged up instantly, scattering my thoughts into a jumbled mess.

Jiang Ling then remembered that at noon she picked up a snakeskin bag at the entrance of the RNG base, checked into a hotel, took a shower, and then had a brief online argument with Letme on Weibo before going to sleep.

I haven't eaten anything for half a day!

Let's order takeout first.

Unlock your phone.

The next second, Jiang Ling was stunned.

The top of the screen is covered with unread messages and missed calls.

Dozens of missed calls.

There are countless unread messages on WeChat.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Ling felt a little dazed.

He first opened the missed call log.

The top row of calls was from G2 owner Ocelote, and there were seven missed calls.

Then it's Karsa, three of them.

MLXG, two.

There were even a few numbers he didn't recognize.

"Something terrible has happened?"

Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly opened WeChat.

The first thing that caught my eye was a screenshot sent by MLXG, along with a line of text:

"Bro, someone online is accusing you of fixing the match!"

The screenshot is of a post that was published three hours ago.

He hadn't seen the poster's ID before, but the content of the post made Jiang Ling's pupils suddenly contract.

The title of the post is:

"Solid Evidence! Former RNG Top Laner Demon Suspected of Match-Fixing in Last Year's Summer Split!"

The main text is written in a very detailed and convincing manner:

"I lost money gambling online and had to take out online loans. I really couldn't go on like this."

"If I'm not having a good time, then some other people shouldn't expect to have one either!"

"In the regular season of last year's Summer Split, there was a shocking 2-1 defeat for RNG against LGD. Someone in RNG got paid."

"I guess many people have already guessed it. That person was Demon, who was still the starting top laner for RNG at the time. In the first game, he picked Fiora and gave up first blood at 3 minutes, giving away a super fed Shen, which caused RNG to lose the game."

"Actually, it's because he was paid to fix the match!"

Below is a screenshot of a WeChat chat.

The conversation between the two people is clearly visible in the screenshot.

Someone asked, "Is it okay if I give up first blood in tomorrow's game against LGD? I'll bet 20!"

Another profile picture replied: "Sure."

And that profile picture was none other than Jiang Ling's WeChat profile picture.

Jiang Ling stared at the screenshot, first in astonishment, then in a mixture of amusement and annoyance.

"This is fucking..."

"Slander!"

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The screenshot shows that the profile picture is indeed his WeChat profile picture, but the problem is that he doesn't have anyone else as a friend.

Clearly, this chat log is fake.

Just then, my phone suddenly vibrated.

The call was from Ocelote, the owner of G2.

Jiang Ling took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Demon! I called you so many times, why didn't you answer?"

Ocelote's voice was urgent; without even a greeting, he abruptly asked:

"Is the online rumor about you fixing matches true or false?"

"Tell me the truth!"

"This not only concerns your career, but also the fate of G2 this season!"

The tone on the other end of the phone was more serious than ever before.

"Boss, this is pure fabrication."

Jiang Ling's voice was calm as he explained:

"I don't have that person as a friend on WeChat at all, and that chat history is fake."

"As for last year's upset..."

"In that game, I gave up first blood because I wanted to wait for MLXG to come over and get an assist, to share some of his gold. He was in the upper river near the top lane!"

"But I didn't expect the opponent to suddenly upgrade, which led to me being killed instead."

"MLXG can testify for me..."

Jiang Ling clarified the situation, and there was a period of silence on the other end of the phone.

Ocelote seemed to be processing these words.

Then his voice rang out again, slightly softer than before, but still serious:

"Demon, I believe in you."

"But it's not enough for me to just believe in you."

"You need to clarify this matter as soon as possible!"

"Work visas to Berlin typically take four to six months to process."

"You only need about two months because you are eligible for the policy support for 'working in esports'."

"But what if you get caught up in a match-fixing scandal..."

"Then, let alone four months or six months, you're very likely to be rejected outright!"

"At that point, we'll be truly finished!"
