1425 Preemptive Strike
Qiao Xi looked at her with a smile as if she was waiting for He Wenxian to give a reasonable explanation.
Everyone’s gazes landed on He Wenxian. There was doubt, mockery, and a trace of disbelief.
He Wenxian felt that she was about to suffocate. She could only try her best to control her emotions, but Madam He could not suppress the anger in her heart. She glared at Qiao Xi with resentment. “You bi—”
“Xi Xi! You were in a car accident, and your hand is injured. Of course, we don’t want to force you to continue competing. Even if we really compete, people will say that Wenxian won unfairly.”!!
He Weinian interrupted Madam He with a smile and said gently, “Wenxian is doing this for your own good. She’s just worried about your injury.”
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up. If she wasn’t wrong, Madam He wanted to call her a ‘b*tch’ just now. Her gentle image was almost ruined!
She nodded thoughtfully. “Chairman He, you’re right. Miss He has good intentions, so I naturally won’t bicker with her. Since there’s no problem now, let’s start the competition.”
“Alright,” He Weinian’s eyes flashed as he replied gently.
He had long thought of a countermeasure and specially found someone to replace Wenxian. At that time, as long as Wenxian made a request and said that she was used to working in a quiet environment and could not be disturbed by anyone or have a camera in the room, all would be fine. Such a request would not be too much. He believed everyone could understand. After all, every artist had their own habits. The organizers had no reason to refuse.
As for Qiao Xi, even if she was the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, she was already injured and could not fully display her standard. She was definitely inferior to the expert he had spent a lot of money to invite.
This time, Wenxian had to win!
He Weinian smiled kindly. “It’s getting late, so let’s start.”
He Wenxian knew that her father had already made preparations for her. She took a deep breath and said helplessly, “Xi Xi, I really don’t want to hurt our relationship, but I’m the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. Moreover, you were the one who suggested this competition. I hope you won’t blame me.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“Who exactly is the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor? One moment, I think that it’s Miss Qiao. The next moment, I think it’s Miss He. I’m confused!”
“One of them must be an impostor, and the impostor probably wouldn’t dare to participate in the competition, but both of them have agreed to participate. They look very confident too!”
Qiao Xi glanced at He Wenxian and had already guessed the He family’s methods.
He Wenxian was just about to make a request when Qiao Xi spoke first with a slightly troubled expression, “Mr. Twilight, the request I made just now… Forget it.”
Twilight hesitated for a moment before understanding what Qiao Xi meant. He had seen through He Wenxian’s plan, so he planned to take the initiative.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, “Miss Qiao, what did you request of Mr. Twilight?”
He Wenxian raised her eyes and met Qiao Xi’s smiling eyes. Her heart trembled.
Qiao Xi thought for a moment and chuckled. “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that when I’m restoring cultural relics, I’m used to being alone in a room. I can only focus fully when no one disturbs me. I originally wanted the organizers to arrange a separate room for me, but now that I think about it…”
Qiao Xi deliberately dragged out her voice before continuing, “All of you should know that a few years ago, when the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor restored Autumn Leaves, it was done in front of everyone. Since this is a competition and it’s being broadcasted live, if we arrange for separate rooms, no one will be able to see our method of restoration. It’ll even be boring. Moreover, this is unfair to Miss He, so I’ve decided to forget it after thinking it through. I’ll compete with Miss He in the venue. We’ll compete until the restoration work is completed.”
Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, He Wenxian instantly felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her body could not help but tremble.
What… What did Qiao Xi say?
Now that Qiao Xi had already said that she would not ask for separate rooms for the competition, it would seem deliberate if she made this request again. It would definitely arouse everyone’s suspicion.
Qiao Xi said that she did not need it because she respected her opponent and wanted to ensure the competition’s fairness. If she made this request again, everyone would think that she did not dare to compete in public. Moreover, most importantly, the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor restored Autumn Leaves in front of everyone back then. This meant that the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor did not have any special habits.
