Weidong Chu left the other athletes in the conference room without looking back.

"I told you. It's not working." Kun Shen looked upset.

Tingshan Chen looked upset too. His idea hadn't worked; on the contrary, it had been taken as a form of mocking by Weidong Chu. Tingshan Chen knew Weidong Chu didn't think highly of him.

"I don't think this is going to work. Tingshan Chen is young, so you can't blame him for thinking of stupid ideas; but you, Kun Shen, you are way older than Tingshan Chen, and you have been on the team for so many years. Why are you acting like this too?" Yueyang Zhu said.

"Hindsight is 20/20!" Kun Shen cursed quietly, then said, "How about you think of a plan yourselves!"

"Of course I have some ideas. Surely they will be better than yours!" Yueyang Zhu smiled with a mysterious look.

"Yueyang Zhu, do you really have some good ideas that can help us join the relay team?" Kun Shen walked closer to them and asked.

"I do have a pan. But I can't assure your success in joining the relay team, as you'll have to be good enough yourself," Yueyang Zhu said.

"Tell us about it now," Tingshan said anxiously.

Yueyang Zhu didn't answer them immediately. Instead he asked: "Do you have a lot of relatives?"

"What do my relatives have to do with this?" Tingshan Chen was confused.

Kun Shen sneered. "I don't have relatives in the authorities who are in charge of these types of things."

"You are overthinking. That's not what I mean." Yueyang Zhu lowered his voice and continued, "It is quite simple; we can find someone to report the relay team to the provincial authorities saying there is a shady deal going on, one in which qualified athletes were not selected for the team, while unqualified ones were. This would force them to perform another selection!"

"Isn't that fake reporting?" Kun Shen frowned. He didn't like this idea.

"If we don't do anything we will miss the National Games," Yueyang Zhu said.

Kun Shen shook his head. "I think even if we report them, we don't have a good chance of winning. According to management rules, even if this kind of thing is reported to the provincial authorities, they will let the team investigate the issue themselves. And it is pointless to let the team investigate themselves. They will just make up some excuse and let it go."

"That was before. Now things have changed." Yueyang Zhu smiled.

"What's the difference?" Kun Shen asked.

"You must have missed the news." There was a mysterious look on Yueyang Zhu's face. He continued, "I heard that the central inspection group might come to us after a few months."

"No way. Yueyang Zhu, don't tease us. You want us to report to the central inspection group? The central inspection group is in charge of big problems; what we have here is just a small, messy situation that isn't worthy of their time! Plus, this is a frame up, a fake charge! It is the wrong thing to do," Kun Shen said.

"That's right. And you said it will be several months for the inspection group to come here. By that time the National Games will have already finished. What's the point of reporting it?" Tingshan Chen agreed.

"That is why I said you guys don't read the news! I am not a fool. We are not going to report it to the inspection group." Yueyang Zhu snorted and said, "Before the arrival of the inspection group, the Provincial Politics and Law Committee, as well as the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, have a Discipline Inspection Dispute Group to keep things straight and neat. They also announced the hotlines. They want to solve the problems in advance before the central inspection group is actually here. After all, it would be much better to check the problems yourselves than have it checked by the inspection group."

"You're saying we tell this group about the relay team?" Kun Shen asked.

"Exactly! Although nobody knows the exact date the inspection group is coming, it worries everyone in this province. Whether it is a small problemor a big deal, we have to take everything seriously," Yueyang Zhu explained.

"But this is only a selection. This is not really worth investigating. The Discipline Inspection Dispute Group is not going to check this, will they?" Tingshan Chen asked.

"Being involved in a scandal is the last thing they want to deal with! If only one or two people say something, they may not take it seriously; but if a dozen people report it?" Yueyang Zhu lowered his voice as he kept talking. "That is why I asked if you have any relatives. Encourage your relatives to report the issue together and we can do it!"

"That sounds like a good idea. If we can make the relay team hold another selection, we all may get the chance to be chosen," Kun Shen said.

Tingshan Chen shook his head. "I don't think so. Don't forget the coach of the relay team is Dai Li. If he doesn't want to choose us for the relay team, there is nothing we can do."'

"That makes sense." Yueyang Zhu thought about it for a while, then responded, "What about this: we say these athletes bribed Dai Li and bought him presents so they would make the relay team. We can tell on Dai Li and make a false charge against him. We are definitely going to make it when he is no longer a coach!"

"Good idea! I say this works. We can crush Dai Li as well." Tingshan Chen was the first one to agree to the plan.

"But without Dai Li, we can't assure good scores in the National Games!" Kun Shen hesitated.

Tingshen Chen's mouth twisted in a contemptuous sneer. "Scores? Scores are obtained by us, not the help of others! Are we really going to talk about scores if we can't even make it to the National Games? Kittel has already broken so many world records; what does it have to do with our salary? Think about scores after we make it to the National Games."

The phone rang. Weidong Chu looked at the number, suddenly looking seriously. It was the home line of Director Wang, the direct boss of Weidong Chu. Weidong Chu was very familiar with this number.

"Why would Director Wang want to talk to me?" Weidong Chu picked it up without any hesitation.

"Hello, Director Wang. This is Weidong Chu!" Weidong Chu said energetically.

"Weidong Chu, there will be two officers from the discipline inspection dispute group coming. You have to see them in person and assist them with their work," Director Wang said.

"Discipline Inspection Dispute Group!" Weidong Chu suddenly felt nervous. He was familiar with the group, as he had worked with the authorities before. He knew exactly what this group did.

"Director Wang, is everything alright?" Weidong Chu asked in a low voice.

"They said we have been reported by a number of people saying there was something wrong with our selection for the relay team. Ask the members in the group for details!" Director Wang said. "Remember, you have to assist with their investigation! I have already promised them our integrity. If there are any problems, I will not tolerate it!"

"Director Wang, don't worry. I will help the Discipline Inspection Dispute Group." Weidong Chu paused, then continued, "Director Wang, I can promise you that the selection of our teams is fair and clear. There is nothing shady going on here!"

Weidong Chu looked nervous after he hung up. He knew he was innocent, but it was not a good thing to be inspected.
