Chapter 168 Find the mastermind
The host walked onto the stage and excitedly said, "After the public judges' votes, the results of this competition are in. We will display the vote counts for the four contestants at the same time."
"Please look at the big screen!"
Everyone stared at the big screen without moving, not wanting to miss this sacred and surprising moment.
Everyone wants to know firsthand who the champion chosen by the public is.
Finally, the big screen flashed and the votes of the four people appeared on the big screen.
The supporter's voice was almost breaking with excitement: "The champion is—Jiang Baichuan!"
The whole audience cheered and the atmosphere exploded instantly.
Jiang Baichuan received a high score of 492 votes, Zhu Zhenqing received 481 votes, Wu Zhenxu received 480 votes, and Chen Muxi received 473 votes.
Jiang Baichuan has performed brilliantly since the auditions, and he was the first contestant to pass the world track.
Later, he overcame many difficulties and obstacles along the way, constantly improving himself and breaking through his limits.
Champion, well deserved!
Jiang Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his name, and an expression of surprise and emotion appeared on his face. He walked onto the stage again with tears in his eyes.
The audience's cheers echoed throughout the venue.
Zhu Zhenqing walked up to Jiang Baichuan generously to express his congratulations.
Wu Zhenxu also smiled rarely and offered his blessings.
Chen Muxi excitedly ran onto the stage and gave Jiang Baichuan a big hug: "Great, Baichuan, you really deserve it!"
Jiang Baichuan stood in the center of the stage and gave his acceptance speech: "I would like to thank every friend who supports me and thank this stage for giving me the opportunity to show myself."
The audience below the stage burst into warm applause again.
Jiang Baichuan finally turned his gaze towards Guan Yueli, who was sitting at the Star Guiding Master's table. Trying to contain the excitement in his voice, he said, "Finally, I want to especially thank my teacher, Guan Yueli. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today."
"Teacher Guan has not only been with me all the way to where I am today, but has also given me so much help and encouragement. Today, she saved me. Without her, I wouldn't be a champion."
His words were sincere and touching, and the audience was moved.
Jiang Baichuan didn't finish his words, his face turned serious: "Everyone, look at this performance costume I'm wearing. The painting on it was painted by Teacher Guan himself."
Everyone had guessed this, so it wasn't surprising.
However, Jiang Baichuan continued in a deep voice: "This is because my dress was deliberately damaged and splashed with ink. It was Teacher Guan who came to the rescue and turned it into a stunning work, so that I could go on stage in time.
After saying that, Jiang Baichuan bowed deeply to Guan Yueli: "Thank you, Teacher Guan."
Jiang Baichuan's words made the audience exclaim in disbelief.
No wonder Guan Yueli was late. She thought it was a surprise they specially designed, but the truth turned out to be like this?
Jiang Baichuan held up the championship trophy. He looked at the camera with a stern look in his eyes, exuding the confidence and arrogance of a young man. "The championship is mine. I got it by my own ability! Those who only use despicable means don't deserve it!"
Jiang Baichuan's face was magnified by the camera, and the sharpness between his eyebrows seemed to overflow the screen.
His female fans all made the gesture of holding their hearts like Xizi, and were almost bleeding from their noses because of his handsomeness.
After the handsome face critique, Jiang Baichuan's experience caused a sensation among his fan group.
They all shouted that for the fairness and justice of the program, a thorough investigation must be carried out.
If a fellow contestant deliberately damages his clothes, his award will be cancelled.
The director and planner of the program team had just learned about this matter, and their expressions were solemn and ugly.
Their "Quality Idols" program is designed to select people with outstanding qualities in all aspects to guide the healthy growth of young people.
But now, such vicious competition has occurred in the program group, which is a slap in the face of their program!
The director immediately said, "Rest assured, everyone. The production team will thoroughly investigate this matter. Whoever did this will be severely punished."
......
Backstage.
The program director, planner, four star guides, and four contestants competing for the championship gathered together.
The director immediately flew into a rage: "This is outrageous! We pride ourselves on being a 'Quality Idol', yet a contestant deliberately sabotaged their costumes in front of a national audience. Who on earth could have done this?"
He looked at Chen Muxi, Zhu Zhenqing, and Wu Zhenxu and said angrily, "You three are the biggest suspects. If anyone does it and confesses voluntarily, I can give you a lighter sentence."
Jiang Baichuan spoke: "Director, it can't be Mu Xi, he has been with me all the time, Zhu Zhenqing and Wu Zhenxu both have time to destroy the clothes."
Zhu Zhenqing said, "I went out with you guys. I even went to many places to buy coconut water. I was the last one to come back, and Mu Xi saw it too."
He looked at Wu Zhenxu and said, "Zhenxu stayed in the practice room alone. We don't know where he went later."
Wu Zhenxu glanced at him and said simply, "It's not me."
Chen Muxi frowned: "You are the most suspicious. First, you are the last one left in the training room. Secondly, you are usually jealous and afraid of Baichuan winning the championship, so you don't talk to us."
Wu Zhenxu: "I will only defeat him fair and square on the stage."
At this time, the assistant director came in and said breathlessly, "Director, they were doing maintenance on the surveillance cameras at that time today, and they happened to turn off all the cameras, so they didn't capture it."
The director frowned.
"No need to look for surveillance cameras. He just specifically found out the time when the surveillance cameras would be turned off. Don't you agree, Zhu Zhenqing?"
Guan Yueli's cold voice rang in everyone's ears.
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Zhenqing. It was him?
Zhu Zhenqing looked confused: "Ah? Teacher Guan, I don't know."
Guan Yueli looked at him with a mocking look in her eyes: "You have the courage to do it but not the courage to admit it?"
Zhu Zhenqing frowned: "Teacher Guan, you can't slander others. What evidence do you have?"
Guan Yueli snorted coldly and said to the director, "He hid the ink bottle behind the prop box on the left side of the stage. Have someone take it out wearing gloves and send it to the public security agency for fingerprint comparison. Zhu Zhenqing won't be able to deny it."
The director was surprised and quickly asked someone to look for it in the prop box.
After hearing Guan Yueli's words, Zhu Zhenqing's expression finally changed.
How did she know? No one saw it.
In less than five minutes, the staff member came back, wearing gloves and holding an ink bottle.
He shouted, "Director, there really is an ink bottle there. I brought it back and will send it to the police station for fingerprint matching."
The director pointed at Zhu Zhenqing angrily and said, "Zhu Zhenqing, you disappoint me so much! This is the audition for 'Quality Idol', a stage for pursuing fairness and dreams, and you actually did this!"
Chen Muxi was so surprised that he was speechless: "Zhu Zhenqing, it turned out to be you. I trusted you so much and treated you like a brother, but you actually stabbed me in the back."
Zhu Zhenqing knew he couldn't escape, so he simply admitted it and said coldly, "So what if I did it? I just can't stand Jiang Baichuan's hypocritical attitude."
