He Wenxian panted in pain. When Madam He saw her daughter like this, her heart ached so much that tears fell like rain. "Wenxian, don't scare me!"
He Tingchen, who was at the side, recovered from his shock and immediately rushed over to stop the man who committed the crime. "Who are you? Why did you hurt my sister?"
The scene was in chaos. Expert Yu hurriedly shouted, "Call the doctor!"
A few doctors were arranged in the venue to avoid any accidents. Hence, as soon as Expert Yu spoke, the doctors rushed over.
There was not much water in the thermos, but every drop was poured on He Wenxian's hand. At this moment, her hand was covered in blisters, and her fingers were so stiff that she could not move them.
When the doctor helped her clean her wounds, she could not stop her tears from flowing. Everyone's hearts ached.
"The practical competition was about to start. Why was Miss He scalded? Who exactly is the culprit?"
"This is too much of a coincidence! Why did they have to rush over at this time? How is she going to compete?"
"Miss Qiao only injured her right hand. Fortunately, she can still use her left hand, but Miss He's hands are scalded and she's seriously injured. There's definitely no way for her to compete! Does that mean Miss Qiao won?"
"That's not right! Why do I feel that something's wrong?! Could it be that Miss He's hand…"
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi in succession, their eyes filled with doubt.
He Wenxian's forehead was covered in sweat from the pain. When she heard everyone's words, she felt that her suffering was worth it. She wanted everyone to suspect Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi's expression was indifferent as she slowly raised her eyes to look at He Wenxian. This woman was so vicious to herself. The pain of being scalded was not something that ordinary people could endure.
At this moment, He Tingchen had already pressed the perpetrator to the floor. "Tell me! Who are you and why did you burn Wenxian?"
The man's face was deformed. "I… I didn't do it! I didn't do it on purpose. Maybe the lid wasn't closed tightly, so it spilled onto Miss He."
"Nonsense! Why did you rush onto the stage for no reason? You just had to pour a glass of water for Wenxian. You did it on purpose!"
When He Tingchen saw He Wenxian's red and swollen hands, he could not suppress the anger in his heart. He shouted with widened eyes, "Who instructed you to do this?!"
Actually, everyone had a guess in their hearts. Could it be that Qiao Xi instructed this man to burn Miss He's hands?
"No… No one instructed me," the man replied in a panic, but the more he acted like this, the more suspicious he became.
He Weinian waved his hand. "Tingchen, he won't tell you even if you ask him that. Just call the police! Since he hurt Wenxian, he should pay the price!"
Hearing that they were going to call the police, the man's expression changed instantly. "Don't… Don't call the police! I…"
"Tingchen! Call the police immediately!" He Weinian said coldly.
While He Tingchen was holding his phone, the man struggled to sit up and knelt in front of He Weinian while trembling in fear. "Please, don't call the police. I didn't want to hurt Miss He, but…"
When everyone heard this, they pricked up their ears.
The man was kneeling on the floor, his snot flowing out. He looked very disheveled, and his facial features were almost squeezed together. A moment later, he suddenly turned around and cried out, "Miss Qiao! You have to save me! When you looked for me, you didn't say that they would call the police! I have a child at home. I can't go to jail!"
Hiss!
Everyone gasped. They were slightly surprised, but most of them expected it. It turned out that the person who instructed this man to commit the crime was really Qiao Xi!
Qiao Xi looked at him unhurriedly. "I don't know you."
This time, she finally understood. Not only did He Wenxian want to use burns as an excuse to avoid the competition, but she also wanted to push the blame on her!
He Weinian glanced at Qiao Xi and directly ordered, "Call the police!"
"No!" the man shouted agitatedly, then his eyes were filled with resentment. "Miss Qiao, you left me in the lurch. Don't blame me for being heartless!"
The man got up from the floor, took out his phone, and clicked on an interface. "This is the reward Miss Qiao gave me!"
The people nearby all saw that the amount of money transferred was 50,000 yuan, and the person who transferred it was Qiao Xi. The gazes everyone shot at Qiao Xi were once again filled with disdain.
He Wenxian widened her eyes in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock and sorrow.
"It's really her?" Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
"How vicious!"
He Tingchen looked fiercely at Qiao Xi. He knew that she was Gu Zheng's wife, so he had always treated her as a friend. However, this woman actually hurt Wenxian in such a vicious way.
