Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 26 Successfully "Washing White"

An Olympic champion once said that when you succeed, everyone can laugh with you, but when you are in a whirlpool, you are the only one who sheds tears alone.

Wen Zhihao now deeply sympathizes with this sentence.

Since the outbreak of the "Ban Race Gate" incident, although Wen Zhihao has issued a series of articles to clarify the facts, once people's thinking falls into preconceived misunderstandings, any explanation will be regarded as a cover-up, and then it will be considered the beginning of deception.On the public platform, I have long been criticized by the media as useless.But what saddened Wen Zhihao the most was the follow-up criticism of many fans.Seeing the fans who loved him so much in the past standing against him, Wen Zhihao felt that he had lost the most solid backing, and a deep sense of helplessness surged in his heart.

Is it true that no one can tell right from wrong, stand up and speak for themselves?

Wen's father and Wen's mother saw that their son had almost been criticized by everyone, and proposed to take their son abroad to avoid the limelight. They were worried about Wen Zhihao's psychological problems in such an environment.

But Wen Zhihao stubbornly refused.He said to his parents: If I leave now, wouldn't that mean admitting it?Then your son will never be able to wash it off.

The clean is clear by itself. Although Wen Zhihao is indeed under a lot of pressure, he is very calm in his heart.Because I have a clear conscience.

As long as I haven't done it myself, then even if everyone is on the other side, I can still stand firmly on this side with my conscience.

Rumors, not for long!The truth will eventually be revealed to the world!

In the midst of overwhelming criticism, the "Football Weekly", a domestic professional football media, went against the trend and published a long feature on its front page. The title showed its support for Wen Zhihao.

Drugs?Hurt someone?What is the intention of maliciously slandering China's No. [-] rising star?
This article describes in detail Wen Zhihao's time at Inter Milan.From the brilliance of being shortlisted for the Inter Milan youth training camp, the harmony with teammates and coaches off the court, the humility in the face of the media, and the spare no effort to fight for the country... The article ends with a strong question, is it possible for such a young man with almost no flaws to do such despicable things?Dare to ask the media fans who follow suit, where is your truth and conscience?Dare to ask the instigator who manipulated all this, what is his intention? !
Such an article is tantamount to "washing white" for Wen Zhihao.

With the voice of professional media such as "Football Weekly", the "banned gate" incident ushered in a turning point.Many of Wen Zhihao's die-hard fans who were suppressed before did not dare to speak came out to stand for Wen Zhihao.

"Look, I said that Zhihao would never do such a nasty thing, unscrupulous media and keyboard warriors, give Zhihao justice!" said a netizen with the online name "Wen Fan".

Immediately another Zhihao loyalist replied: "Old poster, calm down, it's not worth it to be so arrogant. Those 'prostitutes' and trolls are either Japanese dogs or stick dogs. A group of hardcore traitors naturally don't want to see China's new stars stealing the limelight from their masters. Come on Zhihao! Chinese fans love you!"
As the saying goes, rumors stop with the wise.Due to the "Football Weekly"'s questioning and the support of Zhihao's die-hard fans, the criticism of Wen Zhihao finally subsided, and the media also died down one after another.

However, Wen Zhihao received a call in the last few days. The caller claimed to be from "Football Weekly" and hoped to meet Wen Zhihao.

Wen Zhihao readily agreed.He also knew that the other party played a vital role for him in this incident, and it was necessary to meet him to express his gratitude.

Wen Zhihao and his father came to the agreed coffee bar together, and this time he met a man in glasses in his 30s, who looked very elegant and had the aristocratic demeanor of an intellectual.

As soon as he was seated, the man with glasses introduced himself: "Zhihao, I am Liang Yuechu, the editor-in-chief of "Football Weekly". I have been following you for a long time, and today I finally met a real person. You really are a talented person with a bright future!"

The father and son were polite and thanked each other for upholding justice for Wen Zhihao in this incident.Liang Yuechu waved his hands and said, "You are welcome, this is what we should do. Zhihao is one of the few supernovas in China, and the future is the hope of Chinese football. As long as he is a media person with a little conscience and a sense of justice, he will not let such a genius be ruined by a villain."

What he said was very level, not only praised Wen Zhihao, but also showed that it was his duty, and also drew a line between himself and those rumor-mongering media, and created a positive image of himself, which is really high.

But then Liang Yuechu changed the subject and said, "Zhihao, I invite you here today, I have a heartless request, I hope you can agree."

Father Wen nodded: "Editor Liang, you have helped my son a lot this time. What's the matter, but it doesn't matter."

Liang Yuechu immediately showed a joyful expression, and said: "That's right, we have been paying attention to Zhihao since he joined Inter Milan. We have firmly believed in Zhihao's potential from the very beginning. We hope to record every step of Zhihao's growth from now on, so we hope that Zhihao will accept our exclusive interviews regularly in the future."

Papa Wen immediately knew what the other party was planning.This is to rely on Wen Zhihao, a potential stock, to gain continuous attention.But the other party's request is not too much, and the attitude is really nothing to say. After seeking Wen Zhihao's opinion, Wen's father agreed: "Okay, Editor-in-Chief Liang, I agree to this request for my son. But I have one condition, that is, your interviews cannot affect Zhihao's normal training."

Liang Yuechu immediately beamed with joy, clapped his hands and said, "That's natural, we are very happy to witness Zhihao's growth."

The interview was finalized, and the father and son were just about to get up to say goodbye, but Liang Yuechu said, "Mr. Wen, Zhihao, please stay!"

Both of them were a little surprised: "Editor Liang, is there anything else?"

At this time, Liang Yuechu flashed a bit of guilt, his tone was apologetic, and he said, "Zhihao, I heard that my son had some unpleasantness with you. Please don't take it to heart. I have spoiled that kid since he was a child. I have already taught him a lesson. Let me apologize to you on his behalf. Can you forgive him?"

Wen Zhihao was confused when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Who is your son?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Liang Xin is my son."

What!Liang Xin!

Wen Zhihao didn't expect that Liang Xin, whom he disliked so much, was actually the son of the editor-in-chief Liang in front of him.See how editor-in-chief Liang is so polite, how he gave birth to such an arrogant son.Like father, like son is not necessarily the truth.

Wen Zhihao thought for a while, and said to Liang Yuechu: "Editor-in-Chief Liang, why did this little friction between me and Liang Xin alarm you, the editor-in-chief? This is between us, and what Liang Xin's behavior hurt is not me, but the national team. It seems inappropriate for you to apologize to me?"

Wen Zhihao has been living independently in Europe for a year, and he is indeed much more mature than his peers.And with the increase in contact with the media, his speech became more and more mature, subtly expressing that he would not forgive Liang Xin.

Liang Yuechu could hear it naturally, adjusted his glasses, and said sincerely: "Zhihao, I understand that this kid has gone too far this time, he has already realized his mistake. How about it, as long as you forgive him, I will give you a gift."

Papa Wen hastily declined: "Editor Liang, there's no need to do this. The matter between the children will be over with each other. We can't accept your things!"

"No, no, this is not an expensive gift, it's just the truth!" Liang Yuechu insisted.After a pause, he asked softly, "Zhihao, you don't want to know what's behind that suspension ticket?"
