427: Double Standards

Double Standards

If Yao Mengqing became close to the president of ZR, she wouldn't have to participate in all kinds of competitions anymore. She would even be invited to be a judge in various competitions. She would have endless connections and resources.1

However, after investigating for a long time, she still couldn't find any clues. Every time this man appeared, he would wear a mask and wouldn't stand in the crowd. He would always sit on the chair and observe the entire situation.

Hence, everyone suspected that the president of ZR was actually disabled and could not stand. He wore a mask because he was disfigured and embarrassed to let others see him.

Yao Mengqing felt that such a disabled man would like a gentle woman like her. She would use her true feelings to move him and let him feel the warmth of the world…

However, she did not expect their first meeting to be under such circumstances. It was possible that the president of ZR's impression of her would be greatly discounted.

At this moment, Chen Hao's entire body was trembling, and his eyes were filled with terror. He took a few steps back and still struggled desperately. "How… How could there be more surveillance cameras in the materials section? Qiao… Qiao Xi, stop talking nonsense."

The president of ZR frowned and looked a little impatient. His assistant immediately understood and looked coldly at Chen Hao, his eyes full of warning. "Immediately check the surveillance footage!"

The staff quickly checked the surveillance cameras. The time shown on the screen was from this afternoon. The angle was different from the first surveillance camera, but the image was very clear. Everyone's face could be seen clearly.

There was really another surveillance camera!

"Isn't there only one surveillance camera in the materials section?"

"It wasn't like this before, but it seems like they've really increased the number of surveillance cameras this year!"

"Look! It's Qiao Xi!"

Everyone stared fixedly at the scene. Qiao Xi walked into the materials section and took away her materials in the corresponding area. Then, they saw Qiao Xi's brooch accidentally drop on the screen.

"Qiao Xi didn't destroy the materials!"

"Yeah, she didn't even touch the Gray Spirit Pearl! Quick, look! Chen Hao has entered."

Chen Hao's entire body stiffened before he trembled slightly.

Impossible! He had already destroyed the surveillance camera. How could there be another one?

"Ah! It's Chen Hao! Chen Hao destroyed the Gray Spirit Pearl!"

"He picked up Qiao Xi's brooch and placed it in the pile of materials. So he intentionally framed Qiao Xi! Truly too detestable!"

"He's too scheming! No wonder he was anxious to force Qiao Xi to admit her mistake earlier. So it turns out that he's guilty!"

The blood in Chen Hao's entire body was about to freeze, and his mind was in chaos as he roared with terror, "This is fake! Stop watching! I won't allow you to watch!"

The assistant waved his hand coldly, and the bodyguards immediately rushed in to restrain Chen Hao.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. You just agreed that the person who destroyed the materials should be disqualified. You're no longer a participant. Please leave now!"

No!

He was the young master of the Chen family and a famous designer. How could he be disqualified?

Chen Hao's face paled as he looked pleadingly at Yao Mengqing.

Qiao Xi smiled lightly. "Why is Mr. Chen looking at Miss Yao? You're the one who destroyed the materials, so what does it have to do with Miss Yao? Could it be that she can save you?"

Chen Hao's mind buzzed as his face turned hideous. He roared, "Mengqing! Tell me why there's another surveillance camera! Help me explain!"

Yao Mengqing shuddered and couldn't help but retreat.

Qiao Xi said indifferently, "I remember that Miss Yao agreed earlier that the person who destroyed the materials should be disqualified. If you plead on his behalf, I might think that you're in cahoots with Mr. Chen."

Gu Yao chimed in, "That's right! Although the materials that were destroyed earlier were Sister Mengqing's, Chen Hao took Qiao Xi's materials. Moreover, if Chen Hao had successfully framed Qiao Xi, she would've been expelled from the competition. No matter what, Qiao Xi would be the one at a disadvantage.

"Sister Mengqing was constantly persuading Qiao Xi to admit her guilt earlier. She even asked Qiao Xi to apologize to everyone. Isn't it too double standards if she pleads for mercy for Chen Hao now?"

"Could it be that… you and Chen Hao joined forces to frame Qiao Xi?"

Everyone looked at Yao Mengqing suspiciously.

"I—I didn't."

"Mengqing! Help me explain! I did all of this for you! There's no enmity between me and Qiao Xi, so why would I harm her? Isn't it because…"

Yao Mengqing's face was pale.

Chen Hao had already admitted that he destroyed the materials and framed Qiao Xi for Yao Mengqing's sake.
