Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yao was puzzled.

Why did Yao Mengging look so calm this time? She wasn’t afraid of being exposed at all. Was she not the one who destroyed the materials?

Chen Hao’s expression eased up when he heard Yao Mengging’s words, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dispersed.

N-Nothing would happen. Weren’t the surveillance cameras broken? Even if they can’t prove that Qiao Xi was the one who destroyed the materials, no one can prove that she was innocent either. Besides, Qiao Xi was just a newcomer while he was a famous designer. Compared to her words, he was

naturally more trustworthy.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Hao nodded confidently. “Of course, I agree! The person who destroyed the materials should be disqualified from the compet.i.tion and apologize to everyone.”

Qiao Xi smiled lightly.

Chen Hao spoke forcefully and righteously, “Qiao Xi, you said that you didn’t destroy the materials. What proof do you have to show that you’re innocent? I think you’re just speaking glibly!”

Qiao Xi smiled indifferently. “Mr. Chen, actually, the first time you said that you personally saw me destroy the materials, I had already wanted to refute you. But… I found that the way you were lying was truly interesting, so I’ve been enduring it

Chen Hao gulped. “Tsk! You don’t have any evidence at all. You just admitted that the brooch is yours! Isn’t this the strongest evidence?”

Qiao Xi’s brows raised. “Mr. Chen, this materials section isn’t a closed area. What’s strange about me accidentally dropping the brooch here when I came to retrieve my materials? Could it be that this can be used as evidence?”

Chen Hao felt that Qiao Xi was just quibbling. Actually, there was no material evidence. If she continued delaying like this, it would only cause everyone to hate her even more. The consequences would be even worse.

“Qiao Xi is stalling for time. I suggest that Qiao Xi’s qualifications to partic.i.p.ate be revoked immediately. We shouldn’t allow a single person to affect the progress of the entire compet.i.tion!”

The person in charge hesitated and looked at Yao Mengging, In the end, he said helplessly, “Miss Qiao, it’s better not to make things too awkward. You should—”

“Mtr, Chen.” Qiao Xi interrupted him.

“I don’t want to argue with you about whether my brooch can be used as evidence, but…”

She paused for a second and smiled meaningfully. “I just want to ask why Mr. Chen is so sure that there is only one surveillance camera in the materials section?”

Everyone gasped.

Qiao Xi’s voice was indifferent as it slowly entered everyone’s ears. “If Mr. Chen wants to prove that I destroyed the materials, then a brooch is probably insufficient. Could it be that n.o.body here lost anything? How can this be used as evidence?

“Actually, the easiest way is—”

Qiao Xi smiled slightly and said word by word, “To check the surveillance camera!”

Chen Hao’s pupils constricted as he blurted out, “Nonsense! The surveillance camera in the materials section is clearly broken!”

“Who said there’s only one surveillance camera?”

Qiao Xi said unhurriedly, “In past compet.i.tions, there was only ever one surveillance camera in the materials sections. But for the sake of making the compet.i.tion more transparent, it isn’t impossible for them to add a few more surveillance cameras in the materials section. Mr. Chen, did you think that so

long as the surveillance camera was broken, I’d be unable to explain myself regardless of how you accuse me?”

Qiao Xi’s voice suddenly turned cold. “Mr. President of ZR, I request to check the surveillance cameras!”

Everyone gasped. Who was Qiao Xi talking to? The president of ZR was here too? Could it be that he was among this group of people?

At this moment, the door of the lounge room slowly opened. A deep voice came from inside. “Yes.”

‘The man leaned lazily against the sofa, his long legs crossed as he looked at everyone with interest.

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

‘The president of ZR actually came to the materials section personally and had been watching from behind the scenes. Everyone instantly became nervous. This was a design compet.i.tion organized by ZR. If they offended this big shot, they would not be able to survive in the design industry anymore.

But he actually agreed to let Qiao Xi check the surveillance footage?

The a.s.sistant walked out of the lounge room and swept a cold glance at Chen Hao. He said sternly, “Sir has agreed to let Miss Qiao check the surveillance cameras. Seeing is believing. After finding the person who destroyed the materials, they must be disqualified!”

Yao Mengging’s expression changed as her body stiffened.

All these years, she had been secretly investigating the president of ZR, hoping to get close to this man. However, he had always been very mysterious and no one knew what he looked like..
