Chapter 798: Denying By Making a Counter-Accusation

Meanwhile, Fei Luo and the judges went straight to the review room, where they ran into Leng Lin who happened to be leaving. The man seemed to be clutching something tightly in his fist. Fei Luo asked with a frown, “Director Leng, what was that about? What happened to Gu Mang’s score?”

If the Leng family finds out that I’ve made such a huge mistake, they surely won’t let me off. Leng Lin was currently feeling so vexed and anxious that he had no idea how to bring it up to Leng Xuan. His face was tight as he looked at Tang Er and tried to feign composure. “Other than checking the scores, the review room is off limits to outsiders. Take Fei Luo and the rest of the judges to the waiting lounge.”

“Yes.” Tang Er bowed his head respectfully before turning around. “Everyone, please follow me.”

Fei Luo did not move. He had a stern expression on his face. “I demand an explanation for this situation.”

I have to look for Leng Xuan right away and discuss with her how to conduct damage control. Leng Lin pursed his lips in irritation. His patience was running out. “I have nothing to say to you now. The medical association will announce if there’s anything wrong with the scores.”

A sullen look flashed across Fei Luo’s eyes when he heard Leng Lin’s reply. His attitude is clear. They must’ve changed Gu Mang’s score.

“Move aside.” Leng Lin had no time to waste. Thus, he tried to leave by squeezing through the crowd. He had just taken a few steps when he saw Leng Xuan rounding a corner. The furious look on her face made him stop right in his tracks. His fingers trembled as he lowered his head and greeted her. “Elder Leng.”

Leng Xuan cast him a cold glance as Fei Luo stepped forward. “Perfect timing, Elder Leng. I’d like to see Gu Mang’s answer sheet.”

Leng Xuan repressed her anger and regarded Fei Luo in her usual cold and arrogant way. “Jijing Island has always been fair and impartial. We don’t do things like manipulating the competition’s results.”

Not knowing how Leng Xuan was planning to settle this matter, Leng Lin quietly stood aside.

“What was that voice recording about, then?” It was obvious that Fei Luo was suspicious.

The competition was jointly held by God Hand and Jijing Island, so Fei Luo’s words carried a lot of weight in this competition. Leng Xuan dared not patronize him and thus told him, “Given today’s technology, I don’t think it’s difficult to make a fake voice recording.”

“A fake recording?” Fei Luo furrowed his eyebrows.

“Who is Gu Mang compared to me? Why would I manipulate a student’s score?” said Leng Xuan with a straight face that showed a hint of contempt.

The judges exchanged looks with one another and tacitly agreed that Leng Xuan’s words made some sense. After all, no matter how famous Gu Man was in the capital, she was just a student, nothing compared to Leng Xuan’s position as a star of the medical world. There was no need for Leng Xuan to do something so demeaning.

Fei Luo’s frown deepened. “Are you saying that Gu Mang refuses to acknowledge Capital University’s results and thus made a fake recording to smear Jijing Island’s reputation?”

“It’s the only possibility,” said Leng Xuan. “I’m sure she will face consequences if she returns to the capital with the lowest score.”

Of course, Fei Luo knew this too. Her score alone was to blame for Capital University’s low average score. Both the best and worst students were from Capital University. It was entirely Gu Mang’s fault that Capital University was eliminated.

Leng Xuan snorted. “Is it any surprise she took such desperate actions with a score that low?”

Fei Luo looked at her wordlessly as he fell deep in thought.

One of the judges spoke up. “I think Elder Leng has a point. If Elder Leng really wanted to eliminate Capital University’s team, she could’ve just failed them at the pre-competition’s evaluation. There’s no need for her to go to such lengths to manipulate Gu Mang’s results.”

“I’ll give everyone an explanation once I get to the bottom of this matter. Please go have some rest first.” Leng Xuan then turned to Tang Er. “Take the guests to the waiting lounge.”

This time, Fei Luo and the rest of the judges had no objections. They followed Tang Er.
