1518 Who’s The Mastermind?
Everyone’s breathing trembled. The judges’ expressions that were filled with pride just now instantly stiffened, and their hearts stopped beating.
If they did not seek justice for Bright Moon, Twilight would withdraw from the competition?
No! They could not let that happen!
It was not easy for Twilight to agree to be a judge in this competition. Many contestants were here for Twilight, and the audience’s eyes were all on him. If he withdrew because of this matter, it would definitely cause an uproar. At that time, no one would blame Qiao Xi for not letting the matter go. Instead, they would think that the competition’s organizers were negligent and were protecting Du Ming and the mastermind. Mr. Twilight was unwilling to be associated with people like them, so he withdrew from the competition.
Twilight was a god-like existence in the perfume world. His withdrawal would definitely cause an uproar. When everyone found out the truth, everyone related to this matter would face the suppression of the netizens.
In less than ten seconds, the judges had already thought of many consequences. They shouted in a panic, “Mr. Twilight! Don’t worry, we’ll definitely investigate this matter clearly. Don’t leave, you can’t leave!”
Seeing that Twilight did not respond for a long time and was looking at Bright Moon with her deep eyes, the judges were instantly enlightened. They immediately said respectfully, “Miss Bright Moon, we’re really sorry. We’ll definitely investigate this matter clearly. I hope you won’t withdraw from the competition!
“We’ll send someone to investigate the person who reported you and the person in the recording. We’ll clarify this matter on the official website according to your request. We’ll definitely clear your name! Moreover, you’ll still retain your rank as the first place in the previous stage of the competition!”
The moment that was said, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Kang Qingzhi’s weak body swayed as if she had lost all her strength. She seemed to be about to faint the next second.
Now that Qiao Xi had recovered her qualifications to participate in the competition and had snatched away her ranking, if this competition continued, her position as the champion would be snatched away by Qiao Xi too!
At this moment, Qiao Xi turned around slightly and narrowed her eyes as she coldly glanced at the Kang family. Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan had complicated expressions. Their lips moved, but they could not say anything.
Kang Ru’s eyes were filled with guilt, while Kang Jichuan’s eyes were filled with shock and confusion. Had he really misunderstood Xi Xi? But Qingzhi would not lie!
Kang Jichuan’s heart seemed to be suspended in midair. It was painful and bitter. He had just criticized Xi Xi in public. When so many people stood up for Xi Xi, he firmly believed that she had seduced the judges. He was even afraid of being implicated, so he cut ties with her. Presumably, Xi Xi already hated him to the core and would not acknowledge him as her brother.
Qiao Xi’s gaze stopped on the Kang father and son for a few seconds before she looked away coldly. She could already guess what they were thinking. They knew that they had misunderstood her, but they were still unwilling to admit their mistake, much less believe that Kang Qingzhi was the mastermind behind this matter. In their hearts, all the dirty schemes had nothing to do with Kang Qingzhi. She was just a pure and weak little girl.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi crossed her arms and looked at the flustered judges with interest. “Since that’s the case, let’s start the investigation.”
Kang Qingzhi’s body trembled violently. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said weakly, “Miss Bright Moon, the competition’s organizers have already agreed to investigate. Why are you in such a rush? Everyone’s time is very precious. We can’t waste it on you alone, right?”
That was right. Qiao Xi taking up the time of the competition was selfish!
Kang Jichuan frowned and also thought that Qiao Xi should not be doing this. She had already proven her innocence, so why did she have to find out the identities of those two people? They would investigate after the competition. Those two people would not run away. Moreover—
“The other contestants have no objections, so why is Miss Kang stopping the investigation time and again?” Twilight’s voice was low with a hint of mockery. “Moreover, I’m very curious about the person who reported Bright Moon. Is there a problem with taking up everyone’s time?”
Kang Qingzhi instantly choked.
“Of course, there’s no problem!” The judges echoed. Of course, they did not dare to offend Twilight. If he withdrew from the competition, it was uncertain if the perfume competition could be held next year!
Twilight’s meaning was obvious. If they did not investigate clearly today, they would all pay the price!
Zhao Xiang was the most experienced among the crowd. He subconsciously glanced at Kang Qingzhi and hesitated for a few seconds before saying seriously, “Investigate immediately!”
Most of the contestants present supported Bright Moon. They did not care about this bit of time and also wanted to know who the mastermind was. If they did not find out who it was, everyone would be in danger. How could everyone compete in peace?
