You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

The little girl was gazing at him expectantly, her clear eyes filled with deep affection.

Jiang Che's heart stirred slightly, his gaze lingered on her, and his tone of voice unconsciously softened.

"Besides that... I also want to thank the people behind me for their silent support."

"She gets up early every day to prepare breakfast for me, and she stayed with me and comforted me during my lowest moments."

"With her by my side, I had the motivation to win the game."

As soon as Jiang Che said this, the reporters at the scene, with their keen sense of smell, immediately caught a hint of unusual gossip.

Oh my? Big news!

Who's behind it all?

Do you still get up early every day to prepare breakfast?

Isn't this the perfect girlfriend?

Several cameramen immediately followed Jiang Che's gaze and peered back, trying to find the "person behind" in the crowd.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Che immediately realized that he had said a bit too much.

He doesn't want Su Qinghe to be overexposed in front of the media right now, lest it attract unnecessary trouble and criticism.

He then calmly looked away and took a step to the side, cleverly using his body to block the camera's angle.

"Excuse me, everyone, I just finished running more than 40 kilometers and I'm really exhausted. I need to rest for a bit. That's all for today's interview. Thank you all for your hard work."

Jiang Che nodded politely in greeting, and then, with Wang Kai's help, the group managed to squeeze out of the reporters' encirclement.

Meanwhile, the reporters were waiting to interview other contestants, so they didn't keep Jiang Che any longer and let him leave.

After escaping the media's barrage of cameras, the world around me finally became quiet.

Su Qinghe walked beside Jiang Che, her head slightly lowered. Her fair cheeks turned pink with shyness, and even her delicate earlobes were tinged with rouge.

Although A-Che did not name her directly, she publicly acknowledged her presence in front of the cameras and during the live-streamed interview.

This sense of security—being firmly chosen and exclusively favored—greatly satisfied Su Qinghe's possessiveness.

She knew that A-Che was trying to protect her by not pushing her into the public eye at this time, and she herself didn't want to be noticed by others too much in the first place.

As long as he knows that his A-Che is willing to tell the outside world that there is someone by his side who has always supported him, that is enough.

The group was chatting and laughing as they headed towards the rest area, intending to pack up their belongings and leave.

However, several figures in work clothes suddenly emerged from the passageway ahead, blocking their way.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a badge that read "Director of the Event Organizing Committee".

His expression was stern, and he was followed by two uniformed security personnel.

"Wait a minute, are you contestant Jiang Che?"

The middle-aged man, with a stern face, looked Jiang Che up and down and asked in a cold, businesslike tone.

Jiang Che stopped in his tracks, shielding Su Qinghe behind him. He frowned slightly as he sized up the middle-aged man before him. "Yes, it is. Is there something you need?"

Seeing that Jiang Che had admitted his identity, the organizing committee director handed Jiang Che a newly printed report document, stating, "Just now, a serious series of falls occurred less than 100 meters from the finish line on the track."

"Among them, contestant Chen Feng suffered a comminuted fracture of the bridge of his nose and multiple soft tissue contusions on his face."

"The other two athletes who followed closely behind also suffered varying degrees of falls and abrasions because they were unable to dodge in time."

Hearing this, Wang Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes and mutter, "They tripped and fell flat on their faces while running, why are they stopping our Che-ge? Do they expect us to pay for their medical bills?"

The organizing committee director ignored Wang Kai's complaints and kept staring at Jiang Che. "According to the injured athlete Chen Feng, he fell because you deliberately elbowed him, and this action can indeed be seen in the live broadcast."

"Athlete Chen Feng strongly demands a thorough investigation into this matter. He accuses you of maliciously injuring someone during the final sprint of the race in order to secure your championship ranking."

"Therefore, we would like to ask contestant Jiang Che to come with us to the organizing committee's temporary mediation room to cooperate with the investigation."

After hearing these words, the air in the room froze for a moment.

Liu Zhenguo frowned deeply, and the imposing aura he had cultivated over the years unconsciously emanated from him.

"Maliciously injuring someone? That's utterly ridiculous!"

Liu Zhenguo snorted coldly, "Wasn't the live broadcast clear enough? Jiang Che was running ahead, and the road was so wide. If those few people hadn't insisted on crowding in his direction, would this have happened?"

"Are all the people on your organizing committee blind?"

The organizing committee director was from the Lincheng Sports Bureau. Being within the system himself, he naturally recognized the person in front of him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Region.

Faced with Liu Zhenguo's pressure, the organizing committee director broke out in a cold sweat, but he still forced himself to say, "Mr. Liu, we are just following the rules."

"After all, Chen Feng is seriously injured and is even threatening to call the police. We need to get all the parties involved together to confront each other clearly."

The reasons given by the organizing committee director are indeed reasonable. Regardless of whose fault it is, they should eventually come together to collect evidence.

Liu Zhenguo was naturally aware of this as well. Although he still had a cold face, he didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Jiang Che with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

At this moment, Su Qinghe, standing beside Jiang Che, also had a sinister coldness reappear in her usually cold eyes.

Those scumbags couldn't beat Ah Che on the track, but now they dare to turn around and attack me?

Damn it.

In the past, she would have definitely made these people pay a heavy price in her own way.

But that's not possible now.

If A-Che finds out, he will definitely be angry.

The girl's fists, hanging by her sides, clenched and unclenched repeatedly, but she didn't move for a long time.

Wang Kai and Liu Mengyao also turned their worried gazes toward Jiang Che.

Everyone was waiting for Jiang Che's reaction as the person involved.

The atmosphere was tense at one point.

Jiang Che was silent for a while, then chuckled softly.

He gently patted Su Qinghe's hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Cooperate with the investigation?

"Go ahead and go," he thought. He wanted to see what tricks Chen Feng, that idiot, could pull in front of him after getting himself crippled.

Jiang Che had already planned everything when the conflict broke out on the track.

The footage captured by the drone would only show one person losing their balance and bumping into another, while the other person was just wiping sweat by chance, accidentally causing a defensive collision.

Under high-definition cameras, it's clear who committed the foul first and who acted accidentally and in self-defense.

How dare Chen Feng cry foul?

Isn't this just offering your face up to him for a beating?
