Expert Yu's heart skipped a beat. The next second, he heard the man's cold voice. "I'm indeed in a bad mood, so those who hurt her are in trouble."
Hearing the voice on the phone, Expert Yu was a little puzzled. When did they meet? From what Mr. Twilight said, he seemed to care a lot about Miss Qiao?
However, he had long heard that Miss Qiao was married and her husband was the famous president of Gu Corporation. He doted on her very much, and it was impossible for her to get a divorce. Mr. Twilight was crazily testing the waters!
Expert Yu asked softly, "Mr. Twilight, what should I do?"
Twilight narrowed her eyes. Xi Xi was taking the risk to expose the He family's true colors. Of course, it was also for him.
His voice suddenly became gentler. "I'll listen to you, Miss Qiao."
At this moment, Xu Yuxin looked at the time and complained impatiently, "Why isn't Qiao Xi here yet?! Everyone's time is very precious. Who has the time to wait for her here?!
"If she's not coming, she should just say so. How annoying!"
He Wenxian said gently, "Expert Yu has already called to ask. If it's confirmed that she's not coming, she won't waste everyone's time. If she really likes the identity of the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, I'm willing to give it to her. I…"
"Wenxian! Why should you give it to her? You're too kind. Others are already bullying you, yet you're still backing down!" Xu Yuxin interrupted her, then looked at Expert Yu. "How is it? Did Qiao Xi answer the phone? What's going on with her?"
Expert Yu looked at the commotion and could not help but sigh.
No matter if He Wenxian was the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor or not, he did not like her very much. She clearly knew that Qiao Xi was late, yet she still added fuel to the fire and deliberately said those words to incite public anger.
Previously, Expert Yu had some doubts about Qiao Xi's identity, but now that he had received a call from Mr. Twilight and knew that he was on Miss Qiao's side, he was sure that Miss Qiao was the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor.
He looked up at He Wenxian with disdain. Miss Qiao would be able to make a comeback soon.
"Miss Qiao got into a car accident. She'll…"
Before he could finish, there was a commotion at the venue that interrupted Expert Yu's words. The people He Wenxian had bribed all stood up and complained, "Are you trying to fool a fool?! Yesterday, someone on the internet predicted the excuses she might use to avoid the competition, but she still dares to say that she got into a car accident!"
A trace of pride flashed past He Wenxian's eyes.
The person at the side continued to mock, "She made so many scholars and experts wait for her for more than half an hour, but she said on the phone that she was in a car accident and isn't going to show up. Isn't this too much?! Wasn't she very arrogant yesterday? She said that she was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. Now, she's afraid. I've really never seen such a shameless person!"
"Ugh! I really want to vomit! Yesterday, I thought that she might be the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. I really regret it now! Why was I deceived by her face?!"
"Miss He, please forgive us. We were bewitched by her beauty, so we believed her. I'm really sorry!"
"Actually, there's no need for this competition to be held. Miss He came to the venue a long time ago, while Qiao Xi didn't dare to appear at all. This proves everything. Miss He is undoubtedly a genius!"
He Wenxian smiled gently at everyone. She was generous, elegant, and calm.
Most of the people present were cursing Qiao Xi for not keeping her word and maligning a good person. However, there were also some people who still felt that Qiao Xi might have really gotten into a car accident. Even so, under the excited and angry atmosphere, they did not dare to say anything to defend Qiao Xi and could only quietly watch this scene.
He Wenxian stood up and took a few steps forward. She asked softly, "Expert Yu, if Xi Xi doesn't come, then this competition should be canceled, right?"
Expert Yu glanced at her and gritted his teeth. "She'll appear."
He Wenxian's gaze changed. Before she could speak, Xu Yuxin, who was at the side, could not help but say, "Expert Yu, you're an expert in cultural relic restoration, so you're willing to believe Qiao Xi. You hope that she'll respect the restoration of cultural relics, but the truth is that Qiao Xi isn't coming. She's afraid of losing her reputation in public, so she made up the excuse of getting into a car accident to avoid this competition. How could it be such a coincidence that she got into a car accident on the way here?
"She's clearly doing this on purpose! She just wants to ride on Wenxian's coattails and become famous in this way. Wenxian is the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. This competition is meaningless!"
