Her expression seemed entirely in her favor.
But in reality?
She had personally pushed her into an abyss, labeling her as schizophrenic.
Previously, she hadn't seen through Nan Shiqing's true colors, mistakenly believing Nan Shiqing was being good to her. But what was the outcome?
Because of this supposed kindness, her carelessness had allowed this mother and daughter to brazenly commit their crimes and kill her father. Kuaishu Ge.
Nan Shiqing even played the innocent, making Fu Siye dislike her.
"Sister, plagiarism is something that incurs public wrath. I want to defend you, but with so many people, I am truly powerless."
"Sister, I also know you resent me, but don't worry, in my heart, you will always be my sister."
"Sister, wait for me. Once I finish the competition, I'll come out and find you, okay?"
Nan Shiqing blocked Mu Yinyin's path. While she appeared to be defending Mu Yinyin, she was actually, step by step, pinning the accusation of plagiarism onto her.
The order in the venue became somewhat chaotic.
It was clearly still during the competition, but Mu Yinyin's actions had turned it into a marketplace.
Even if her design was astonishing, the claim of imitation caused the judges to be less excited than before. Instead, they spoke gravely, "Miss Mu, since you have completed your design draft, please leave the venue immediately."
Order needed to be maintained. A competition with hundreds of participants could not be halted because of one Mu Yinyin.
This also served to prevent any further incidents.
Everyone frowned. Why, after the situation escalated to this point, were the judges only asking her to leave instead of disqualifying her from the competition?!
Just as they were about to object, the judge spoke again, "We will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. We will absolutely not wrong a good person, nor will we let a despicable person off the hook!!"
With the last three words, the judge clearly emphasized his tone. Evidently, everyone perceived that the judges already believed Mu Yinyin to be a plagiarist.
Mu Yinyin, however, said nothing, too lazy to offer any explanation. She directly left the scene.
Nan Shiqing rejoiced inwardly. Even if she resolved those difficulties, what did it matter? If she was truly plagiarizing, Mu Yinyin's progress to this stage was not due to Nan Shiqing's efforts, but because Mu Yinyin was digging her own grave. Ha, serves her right!
Immediately after, she quickly apologized to the girl with glasses. She bowed, humble and polite, "I'm sorry. My sister... please don't take it to heart!"
The girl gritted her teeth, "You're no good either!!"
Nan Shiqing: "..."
Damn it!
She was implicated by Mu Yinyin again!
Mu Yinyin couldn't implicate her in good things, but in this kind of situation...!
Calm down! Calm down! She couldn't get angry!
Just as she was about to explain something, the judge's words interrupted everyone's thoughts, "Alright, there isn't much time left. Everyone, please continue your creations and don't waste any more time."
This remark served as a reminder to everyone. They began to focus on their creations again, concentrating their attention. The matter of Mu Yinyin's plagiarism seemed to have temporarily concluded.
Twenty minutes later.
The examination ended.
All the participants submitted their papers. Nan Shiqing was among them. After submitting, Nan Shiqing actively sought out the girl with glasses.
Nan Shiqing clearly saw the killing intent in the girl's eyes.
She felt that this girl would be a useful pawn. Thus, she apologized again for Mu Yinyin, "I'm sorry. My sister also wanted to win against me, which led her to do such a wrong thing. I also know you're a fan of Y. You're angry that Y was plagiarized. My sister is also a fan of Y. Otherwise, she wouldn't know so many of Y's works."
"Being a fan justifies plagiarism? The actions of you two sisters are truly hard to comprehend." The girl with glasses sneered directly at Nan Shiqing, completely disregarding her.
Facing such mockery, although Nan Shiqing felt annoyed, she could only choose to endure.
She forced a smile, "I followed the normal procedures. I know this has made everyone a spectacle, but what I haven't done, I haven't done. If you don't believe me, you can compare my latest design draft."
Comparison was beyond the girl's capability.
Her current task was to incite the girl's emotions.
The girl with glasses didn't respond to her. Although she hadn't done anything to Mu Yinyin in the competition venue, Mu Yinyin's actions and her initial retorts had made her very angry.
Even if she wanted to win, even if she had mental illness, was that a reason for plagiarism? Was that a reason to desecrate her idol?
Seeing the girl turn away, Nan Shiqing immediately chased after her, "Don't go. I know you're very angry, but my sister really had no ill intentions. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to find her, and let her explain to you in person, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the girl's expression immediately darkened.
"Then lead the way." At the same time, a hint of killing intent flashed in the girl's eyes.
Nan Shiqing clearly saw this expression on the girl. She walked ahead, leading the way, but a cold smirk flickered across her lips.
Mu Yinyin, Mu Yinyin, who told you to plagiarize Y?
Serves you right!
...
At this moment, in the conference room of Juxing.
Several judges had already uploaded all the participants' design drafts to the computer and began filtering them one by one. Without a doubt, Nan Shiqing's work became one of the ten designs selected for the second round.
The judges also carefully reviewed Nan Shiqing's work multiple times. In fact, someone had improved and processed Nan Shiqing's work immediately after receiving it.
When it was uploaded online for secondary screening, Nan Shiqing undoubtedly became the champion.
Because Mu Yinyin's draft had temporary issues, she was not made the first-place winner at that time.
Nan Shiqing herself was unaware of this.
Now, she had brought the girl with glasses to find Mu Yinyin.
Upon reaching the door, she knocked gently and said in a soft voice, "Sister, she is a loyal fan of Y. You should clarify things with her. Don't create any misunderstandings; misunderstandings that run too deep are difficult to resolve."
Nan Shiqing pursed her lips, appearing to be concerned for her.
Mu Yinyin opened the door and looked at the two people at the entrance. She looked at the girl with glasses and said calmly, "Clarify what? Can you represent Y? What are you to Y?"
Facing her loyal fan, Mu Yinyin felt no joy at all. Nan Shiqing was already using the fan as a weapon.
And now, Nan Shiqing would surely think her plan would succeed. So why not go along with her intentions?
"Y is my idol. You plagiarize her work, and you want to profit from it. And your sister, Nan Shiqing. It's all because of the two of you that the competition has turned into this. You all deserve to die!"
