The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1216 - 1184: Investigating "The Expedition

Coach Wu heard Zhu Zhitao’s report and made a phone call to have the team doctor come over.

"Take a look at this, if this substance is applied to the skin, would it cause an allergic reaction?" Coach Wu asked. This was something He Tiantian had handed over privately, and before the investigation was clear, he couldn’t make any bold claims.

Doctor Li took it and nodded, "Yes, this is a harmful substance secreted by insects from the Southwest Mountains, which requires strong antibiotics and ephedrine-type medications to treat it. With such medications, one would definitely fail a drug test. What is this stuff, and how did it end up here?"

If infected, accidentally taking medication would be unlucky!

Seeing that Doctor Li was no outsider, Coach Wu then said, "This was found in He Tiantian’s toiletries, and we haven’t yet discovered who did it."

Doctor Li was stunned, but soon understood, guessing that someone was jealous of He Tiantian’s achievements. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"How is Teacher He doing now?" Doctor Li inquired, "This is problematic. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will cause a reaction, but when I performed a routine check-up on Teacher He, I didn’t find anything unusual."

Coach Wu responded: "Teacher He’s arm did show some abnormalities, but it has been cured. Antibiotics were not used, just a traditional herbal ointment. As for which ointment, she hasn’t told me."

"That must be some secret medicine," Doctor Li suggested. "Now that this has happened, if it happened once, it could happen again, so what should we do now?"

Coach Wu thought for a moment, then said, "With such an incident, I naturally need to investigate thoroughly. I may not find out anything, but it’s also about exerting psychological pressure on those with ulterior motives, preventing them from daring to act again."

"Hmm, that indeed is a strategy," Doctor Li said. "Ah, Teacher He is the hope of our swimming team, we can’t afford an accident. It seems we need to increase our staff, especially in the changing rooms, cafeteria, restrooms, etc."

"Yes." Coach Wu agreed, "We can’t let anything happen to He Tiantian. She’s a prospect for a gold medal. Since the ’84 Los Angeles Games, our swimming team hasn’t performed well. He Tiantian is our top contender; if she does well, our team performs well, if not, we fail."

Doctor Li naturally understood this, saying: "Yes, I get it."

Having a champion and not having one makes a huge difference in other projects later.

Look at those shooting and diving teams, so full of resources, unlike their swimming team, frustratingly inferior and with fewer resources.

All this requires the results of an Olympic champion to change.

Subsequently, Coach Wu held a meeting, ordering a thorough inspection across all departments. If any prohibited items were found, they were to be confiscated immediately and penalties enforced.

Jiao Lihong felt somewhat anxious these past few days but grew relieved as the major inspection continued for several days without her being discovered.

Cai Fenfang looked on, quite disappointed.

Jiao Lihong was really useless, He Tiantian was fine, and so was Jiao Lihong.

In that case, should she make a move?

But thinking about the recent tight situation, Cai Fenfang didn’t dare.

Zhu Zhitao had reported every event, whatever Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang reported, He Tiantian also reported, and they were not eligible but He Tiantian still did.

When Jiao Lihong saw He Tiantian’s entry form, she was utterly upset.

On one hand, she knew He Tiantian’s performance would surely overshadow hers, leaving her no chance to win; on the other, she always felt He Tiantian’s gaze on her was a bit strange, as if she had discovered something—after all, she had done something guilty and was feeling uneasy.

Cai Fenfang was also stunned, her main events were butterfly and breaststroke, but now He Tiantian had also listed the events she reported.

Thinking of this, Cai Fenfang broke into a cold sweat, somewhat understanding why He Tiantian looked at her that way.

She guessed He Tiantian probably suspected Jiao Lihong’s interference, and maybe even redirected some anger towards her.

However, Cai Fenfang had another thought, perhaps He Tiantian thought she was involved too, and took the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Knowing beforehand Jiao Lihong was more likely to ruin things than to fix them, it would have been better not to act at all!

He Tiantian wouldn’t have crazily entered so many events!

Seeing that the national team was ready to go, they were about to leave soon.

Huo Yingjie’s identity was so crucial that going abroad required reporting, so Huo Yingjie couldn’t go.

However, although Huo Yingjie couldn’t go publicly, he could privately; leaving a body double as He Tiantian’s bodyguard, he could follow and protect He Tiantian and travel with her.

The children had summer vacation, they wanted to go to Korea to watch the Olympic Games and cheer for He Tiantian, but for safety reasons, Old Master Huo disagreed. However, to compensate, they could stay home and watch the games live on TV.

"Mom, great-grandfather won’t let us go, we can only watch TV at home," Huo Ruimin said, feeling a bit disappointed. She really wanted to go.

He Tiantian knew why they couldn’t go; Huo Yingjie’s status was too important, especially now as a leading scientific research talent. If anything happened, it would be a tremendous loss to the country.

Especially since an incident concerning He Tiantian had occurred previously and the mastermind was still not found, so the best course of action was not to go abroad.

"That’s fine, you’ll be starting school soon anyway." He Tiantian said, "You’ll have school and can’t take days off. Even if you can’t watch the live broadcast, you can record it and watch when you get home." He Tiantian instructed, "You are the big sister, always so great, helping me take care of your younger siblings. When mom is not at home, can you keep an eye on them?"

"Yes, I will," Huo Ruimin nodded, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll take care of my siblings."

He Tiantian heard this and smiled, "That’s great, Ruimin."

"Mom, I will also take care of my siblings," Huo Ruihua spoke softly, "Mom, good luck!"

"I will, I’ll bring back a gold medal for each of you." He Tiantian chuckled, "And I’ll buy gifts for you all!"

"Okay." The children nodded, giving their mom a loving hug.

Then He Tiantian called Little Rotating Turtle over, saying: "Xuanxuan, the house is in your hands!"

"Mom, don’t worry, I’ll protect my brothers and sisters," Huo Xuanxuan, now accustomed to her new identity, calling He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie mom and dad without any mental barrier.

He Tiantian patted Little Rotating Turtle’s head, saying: "Xuanxuan is the best, mom loves Xuanxuan."

"Uh-huh." Little Rotating Turtle laughed in a cute and silly way, "I love Mom too."

After instructing Little Rotating Turtle, He Tiantian called Snake King to come back.
