On-Site Urine Test, the Entire United States Panics

As soon as Wang Xiaoming uttered those words, the entire venue fell instantly silent.

Not a single person could fathom the purpose behind Wang Xiaoming's actions.

Clearly, the matter could have simply ended right here. Couldn't the South Koreans have just stepped in out of nowhere and taken a beating?

Such a minor country—did they honestly deserve to strut around in front of superpowers like China, Europe, the United States, and Australia?

The members of the Chinese organizing committee cast somewhat puzzled glances toward Wang Xiaoming.

However, upon catching a reassuring look from him, they decided to let the matter rest.

They prepared to hand over all on-site matters to Wang Xiaoming's discretion.

After all, they had received strict instructions from higher-ups: Wang Xiaoming was authorized to make the call on any matter that did not violate core principles!

"Um, Mr. Wang Xiaoming, we really don't need to go this far..." representatives from Europe, the US, and Australia said to him.

Yet Wang Xiaoming simply waved his hand. "Say no more!"

Today, this urine test was going to happen—he was firmly resolved.

Time and again, they came to hassle him; time and again, they tried to disrupt his mental composure!

Did they genuinely take him for a pushover?

Since you all enjoy stirring up trouble, don't blame me for blowing this matter wide open!

I will make you lose face in front of the global audience!

Gazing at the still-purple faces of those few "purple-yam-headed" athletes, Wang Xiaoming flashed a disdainful smile.

Faced with Wang Xiaoming's unyielding and impermeable attitude, the delegation from Europe, the US, and Australia began to panic slightly.

They hurriedly sought out the members of the Chinese organizing committee.

"Look at this—"

However, before they could finish, they were promptly interrupted.

"Apologies, but as of now, all our actions are led by Comrade Wang Xiaoming, and every decision is entirely up to him!"

"What?!" In an instant, everyone from the European, US, and Australian camps was utterly stunned.

They stared at Wang Xiaoming before them in absolute disbelief.

A question involuntarily arose in everyone's mind: Just who on earth was this person?

How could he possibly command the entire Chinese organizing committee to follow his lead?

Meanwhile, the South Korean athletes panicked on the spot.

They couldn't shake the feeling that they might have provoked some unimaginably powerful existence.

Could it be that Wang Xiaoming's status in China was that of the descendant of some supreme bigwig?

Otherwise, even if he were the offspring of some mega-wealthy tycoon or high-ranking official, people swimming in official circles would never grant him such immense face!

However, this 4x100m relay was their final chance to secure a medal.

If this opportunity slipped away, they would genuinely have to enlist for mandatory military service.

At the mere thought of their country's compulsory military service, the South Korean athletes felt an ominous, chilling sensation ripple through them.

"No, I absolutely refuse to do military service! Absolutely not!"

Observing the nonchalant Wang Xiaoming across from them, the South Korean athletes actually felt deeply uneasy inside.

"Judging by his demeanor, he truly seems completely confident..."

Even so, even if Wang Xiaoming turned out clean, the South Korean athletes were confident they could still claim a medal!

After all...

He glanced at the purple-yam-shaped visages of the European, US, and Australian competitors!

If Wang Xiaoming was fine, then there was simply no way you lot were going to be fine, right?

With you guys looking like that, even if you claimed you were clean, the global audience wouldn't buy it!

Therefore, while everyone in the stadium thought the South Korean athlete was a fool, a lunatic—

Only he himself knew the true situation.

This entire sequence of events had been meticulously premeditated.

You thought he was targeting Wang Xiaoming?

No, his real targets were the athletes from Europe, the US, and Australia!

The moment one of their teams ran into trouble, South Korea—currently sitting in fourth place—would undoubtedly move right up!

Not only the foreign spectators, but even the members of the Chinese swimming team stared at Wang Xiaoming with dropped jaws.

Pan Zhanle burst into laughter on the spot. "Good grief, Brother Ming, you've got this much pull? I'm hanging out with you from now on!"

"Get lost!" Wang Xiaoming laughed and scolded, playfully kicking him in the rear.

Seeing the Chinese team look to Wang Xiaoming as their absolute leader, the US team had already panicked into a complete mess.

Meanwhile, the organizing committee of the host country, France, nodded to Wang Xiaoming.

They then proceeded to ask each and every team present whether they agreed to undergo an on-site drug test!

China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and various other nations all expressed that they had no objections.

Since it was a proposal put forward by Wang Xiaoming, naturally no one would refuse.

In truth, people simply wanted to see whether Wang Xiaoming was hiding anything or not.

However, the fact that athletes from other countries had no objections...

Did not mean the US athletes were entirely in the clear.

Yet, with the competitors from all other nations agreeing on the spot, if the US team refused now—

Wouldn't that be equivalent to a tacit confession of guilt?

Helpless, their coach could only murmur in low tones to the athletes selected for the drug test.

In the end, they too agreed to the organizing committee's terms.

Before long, a large group of people were escorted backstage to undergo on-site drug testing.

After quite a while, the athletes participating in the drug test slowly emerged.

The moment they walked out, various media outlets swarmed toward them instantly.

The most sought-after figure among them was naturally Wang Xiaoming.

"Athlete Wang Xiaoming, you were the one who proposed this on-site drug test. Are you truly this confident in yourself?"

"Athlete Wang Xiaoming, did you discover something specific? Why else would you demand an on-site drug test like this?"

"Athlete Wang Xiaoming, did anything happen backstage just now? Could you share it with us?"

Countless reporters surrounded Wang Xiaoming so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through.

At that moment, however, Chinese journalists and a group of cameramen violently shoved their way through.

They pushed all the other reporters out of the way.

"You lot have had your turn to interview! Don't our country's own athletes deserve an interview from our own media?!"

With that, they tightly shielded Wang Xiaoming in the center and escorted him all the way to the middle of the arena.

Wang Xiaoming nodded toward the Chinese journalists and cameramen. "Thank you!"

"Don't mention it! Just focus on your competition; we've got your back no matter what!" A Chinese reporter winked at him.

Athletes from one country after another emerged from the backstage area.

As for the US athletes, once they came out, they were visibly whispering anxiously with their coach.

Yet, upon seeing several of their team members slowly shake their heads, the US coach's complexion underwent a drastic, ashen transformation, his heart sinking into complete despair.

Next came the period of quiet anticipation while waiting for the results.

Naturally, the Chinese journalists, having the closest proximity to Wang Xiaoming, were not about to waste this precious opportunity!

"Hello, Mr. Wang Xiaoming. Regarding Phelps's recent remarks on the internet, do you feel he was insulting you?"

Wang Xiaoming smiled. "Not really, I didn't take his words to heart much!"

"Then what are your thoughts on Phelps accusing you of prohibited conduct?"

Under the current circumstances, Wang Xiaoming was virtually guaranteed to be in the clear.

That meant the one who should be panicking right now was Phelps.

He had engaged in slander and reckless talk.

Therefore, whatever Wang Xiaoming said at this point would carry no negative consequences.

To everyone's surprise, however, Wang Xiaoming stated:

"I feel that Mr. Phelps is simply being far too sensitive. Instead of being so fond of accusing others of doping, he should lead by example and refrain from engaging in prohibited activities himself!"

As soon as these words dropped, the faces of the Chinese reporters instantly turned pitch black.

Brother, saying you're in the clear is one thing.

But speaking like this—doesn't it make your behavior virtually indistinguishable from Phelps's?

Can we please not say things like this when we don't have definitive evidence?

"Haha, it seems Athlete Wang Xiaoming is still quite humorous!" Things had already reached this point, so the Chinese reporters could only desperately try to cover for him.

Wang Xiaoming chuckled as well. "Hahaha, I'm just joking!"

"Surely a great and rigorous figure like Mr. Phelps wouldn't dare to break the law and consume prohibited substances, only to trap himself, right?"

Chinese reporters: "??????"
