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.

In any case, the situation was solved this quickly because of Bai Ze. All four of them should thank him big time.

"But a lot of people who saw the first photo posted still believed that it was you and Shen Ji Yun. Wouldn't it be a problem later?" Yu Jiao asked in a worried voice.

Luo Yan could understand why Yu Jiao was worried. After all, YUN and Noctis were both pretty well-known players in Arcadia. Especially YUN. In fact, he was more surprised that it took this long before someone posted a sneak shot of either of them.

It's understandable in his case since he had only recently started looking more and more like his avatar because of his sudden growth spurt. Aside from that, there were only two places he frequented - their house and the school.

There's no way the people working in their house would post his picture on Weibo. Most of the students in the school were from rich families. They would know that posting a picture of the second young master of the Luo family on Weibo without his approval might lead to some dire circumstance.

But that's certainly not the case for Shen Ji Yun.

The other had been in university for three years now. It's not a private university for the rich but a public university, meaning the students going there came from different walks of life. There's no way none of them played Arcadia and ever thought that Shen Ji Yun looked similar to YUN. The chances of them not thinking of posting a picture of him on Weibo were almost zero.

But still no photos of Shen Ji Yun had ever floated online. As evidence of how no rumor about YUN's real identity appeared on any social platforms.

Since team Yunyue won the Arcadia Cup during a time when the teams that reached the finals didn't need to appear personally in front of everybody during a live broadcast of the fight, their real identities had never been divulged. It's actually quite amazing that they managed to keep their identities a secret that long.

But then again, except for Bai Ze, both Su Yuqi and Shen Ji Yun were very low-key. So, that's understandable.

Anyway, maybe he should just ask Shen Ji Yun later how that was possible.

"Don't worry, Jiao Jiao. They'll know it's us anyway once we reached the finals of Arcadia Cup. There's no need to stress ourselves over it," Luo Yan said in response to what Yu Jiao said earlier.

Besides, since the original post had already been deleted, people would soon forget this topic and would move on from another, more scandalous one.

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.".com

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.
