1517 I’ll Leave With You
“Take the overall situation into consideration?” Qiao Xi stared at the judge with a burning gaze. “If you really welcome me to continue participating in the competition, then you should investigate why Du Ming got the key to my lounge. Who was the woman in the recording who instigated Du Ming to look for me? Who took that photo and reported me? You haven’t investigated these things clearly yet. Are you going to pretend that you don’t know anything and resume the competition?”
The judges instantly frowned and said unhappily, “Then what do you think we should do, Miss Bright Moon?”
Qiao Xi said casually, “Do you need me to teach you such things? Of course, you need to investigate the person who instigated Du Ming and the person who reported me. You have to clarify things for me on the official account of the International Fragrance Competition and clearly list all the evidence and the person who framed me.
“At the very least, you have to find out who the woman in the recording and the person who reported me are. These two are clearly framing me. If you don’t give me justice, how can I participate in the competition in peace?”
Kang Qingzhi lowered her head and bit her lip.
Xu Ling had just recovered from the shock of Twilight’s appearance. Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, fear surged like a tide as she looked at Kang Qingzhi for help.
The judges all knew that Kang Qingzhi was the beloved daughter of the Kang family, so they did not dare to offend her. However, Bright Moon refused to let the matter go. The judges gritted their teeth and said, “We’ve already told you that we’ll investigate. We can’t let your private matters affect the progress of the competition. If you’re really not in the right state to participate in the competition, you can take the initiative to withdraw from the competition. We won’t force you.”
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. They said that they would investigate after the competition, but they were just brushing her off. After the competition ended, they would definitely find an excuse to fool her.
Xu Ling instantly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the judges’ words. So what if everyone knew that Bright Moon was wronged? If news of this got out, the officials of the International Fragrance Competition would definitely be insulted by netizens. The netizens would say that they did not investigate clearly and slandered Bright Moon. Hence, they could let Bright Moon continue participating in the competition, but it was impossible for them to clarify things for her online.
The entire venue was silent. Qiao Xi’s cold gaze swept past everyone, and the corners of her mouth curled into a mocking smile. “Since everyone isn’t willing to investigate this matter, then let me do it myself!”
After hearing this, one of the judges immediately stood up and criticized, “It’s not that we don’t want to investigate, but we want to do it after the competition. Are you going to let so many people wait for you to investigate? You’re too selfish!”
The judge became more and more confident as he spoke. He could not help but look at the tall and mighty man beside him. “Mr. Twilight, what do you think?”
The surroundings instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Twilight and quietly waited for him to speak. The man smiled and said in a magnetic voice, “Yes.”
Huh? Did he agree with the judge?
Kang Qingzhi abruptly looked up, her eyes filled with joy. Previously, there were rumors that Twilight admired her very much. This time, Qiao Xi was making things difficult for her, so Twilight would definitely stand on her side.
Moreover, he had already agreed with the judge. If Qiao Xi continued to fool around, even if she was the victim, she had to withdraw from the competition to avoid affecting the competition’s environment.
Xu Ling smiled proudly. “Bright Moon, don’t delay the competition because of personal reasons. Mr. Twilight has already spoken. If you continue to fool around, you’ll have to immediately withdraw from the competition!”
The judges echoed one after another and glared at Qiao Xi unhappily. However, she stood on the spot and did not say a word. She only looked at everyone with a mocking expression.
Just as the judges were about to reprimand her again, Twilight suddenly looked up and scanned the crowd with his light brown eyes. The temperature seemed to have dropped wherever he looked. His cold lips curled up slightly. “Everyone, I do agree, but…”
Everyone’s hearts trembled. Kang Qingzhi felt her scalp tingle when she met Twilight’s eyes.
The next second, Twilight’s voice was magnetic and low. He said slowly, “Bright Moon, I agree to let you continue your investigation. If you’re unwilling to seek justice for yourself in the International Fragrance Competition, then withdraw from the competition.”
Qiao Xi naturally knew that Gu Zheng would not let her suffer, so what did this man mean?
Before she could think it through, Twilight sneered. “If you withdraw from the competition, I’ll withdraw with you. After all, I’m a witness to this farce. Since no one is willing to investigate this matter, there’s no point in me staying here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a few steps toward Qiao Xi and bent down slightly. He stretched out his hand like a gentleman. “Miss Bright Moon, let’s go.”
