Chapter 424: Evidence
Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations
The staff hurriedly walked over and said anxiously, “Everyone, I’m really sorry. The surveillance camera in the materials section suddenly broke. The images from this afternoon have all disappeared, so we can’t be sure if Miss Qiao Xi was the one who destroyed the materials.”
Everyone sighed. Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence? They were just about to check the surveillance footage when it turned out the cameras broke. This was a little too obvious!
Chen Hao said anxiously, “The surveillance camera in the materials section is broken, but the surveillance cameras outside the door aren’t broken, right? Just check the surveillance cameras outside and see if Qiao Xi has come to the materials section.”
The person in charge nodded and quickly sent someone to investigate.
Gu Yao was burning with anxiety.
He believed that Qiao Xi would not do this, but Chen Hao was extremely sure that he saw Qiao Xi destroy the materials with his own eyes. Moreover, Qiao Xi’s brooch had fallen here, so it meant that she had indeed been here. This evidence was very disadvantageous to her.
“Qiao Xi, what exactly is going on?”
The designers were furious. “What are you trying to do by refusing to talk? Did you destroy the materials? Are you jealous of Yao Mengging, so you used such despicable methods? An outstanding designer wouldn’t deliberately destroy others’ materials!”
“You want to take revenge on Yao Mengqing, but have you thought about us? Many of us chose Gray Spirit Pearls as well. You’re leaving us without enough materials. We’ve been preparing for this compet.i.tion for a long time. Are our careers going to end in your hands?”
Yao Mengqing widened her eyes in disbelief. “Xi Xi… Did you really destroy the Gray Spirit Pearl? Why… did you have to do this to me?”
Qiao Xi looked coldly at her and sneered.
It was a pity that Yao Mengging did not want to be an actress. Everything was clearly planned by her, but she still pretended that she did not know anything, It must be really hard on her to pretend to be an innocent girl in front of everyone.
Yao Mengging bit her lip tightly and shed tears of sorrow. “Xi Xi, as long as you say that it’s not you, I’ll believe you. The brooch can’t be used as evidence, nor can it prove that you did this. Perhaps others have the same brooch as you too. Have you put away your brooch? Why don’t you show it to
everyone?”
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi and waited for her to retort.
Qiao Xi smiled and took out the brooch from the pile of materials. She smiled meaningfully. “This brooch is indeed mine.”
Chen Hao revealed a delighted expression and shouted happily, “All of you heard it. Qiao Xi admitted it! She said that this brooch is hers, so she did it!”
Yao Mengqing squeezed out a few drops of sparkling tears. “Xi Xi, even if you hate me, you can’t do such a thing. You can target me, but if it affects the compet.i.tion, how can I face the designers who worked so hard?!”
Yao Mengqing wiped her tears and bowed to everyone.
“Tm sorry! I’m really sorry. Today’s incident is all because of me. I’ve harmed everyone and affected the progress of the compet.i.tion. I’m willing to withdraw from the compet.i.tion so that everything can be peaceful again. I hope everyone can forgive me.”
When they saw Yao Mengging being so aggrieved, someone couldn’t endure it any longer. “This isn’t your fault! Qiao Xi’s motives weren’t pure, and this affected the compet.i.tion. It has nothing to do with you!”
“Yeah! If Mr, Chen Hao hadn’t given you Qiao Xi’s materials, your work would have been affected as well. Miss Yao, you don’t need to withdraw from the compet.i.tion. Someone else should withdraw!”
“S-Sorry, I…” Yao Mengqing’s tears trickled down. “Xi Xi, you made a mistake and should bear the punishment. You owe everyone an apology!”
“Yeah, Qiao Xi, you must apologize to Yao Mengqing and all the partic.i.p.ants. Moreover, you violated the rules and destroyed the materials of others, so you ought to withdraw from the compet.i.tion immediately!”
The person in charge hesitated for a moment. Seeing that ZR’s president wasn’t objecting, he said, “Mr. Chen is right, Miss Qiao. If you don’t have any objections to the result, according to the compet.i.tion rules, you can’t partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. Please—”
“Wait.” Qiao Xi interrupted him and raised her brows. “Who said I have no objections?”
Chen Hao’s expression instantly changed. “You already said the brooch is yours. Could it be that you want to go back on your word now?
“Qiao Xi, what else do you have to say? It’s too late for regrets now!”
