Chapter 968: Chapter 978: There’s a Cover-Up (Double Chapter)
Sometimes the more you explain, the more it shows you owe, or you are concealing your lies.
The audience didn’t react because their piano skills were limited.
But Lin Xi understood, this was clearly an attempt to cover up or confuse.
Moreover, the eight performers on stage also showed expressions of disbelief.
At their level, they can generally judge who plays well and who doesn’t, especially since Luo Susu’s performance was much better.
This is only second?
Then who is first?
The judge announcing the results showed no emotion on his face.
Except for the Korean judge, the other judges looked at Luo Susu with smiles, as if congratulating her, but within the gazes of three or four, a sense of apology could also be seen.
"The first place goes to the contestant from Korea!"
"Congratulations, your performance received high scores from all of our judges!"
On stage, the Korean girl first opened her mouth wide, then jumped up with joy.
Surprise, shock?
This was entirely unexpected and unbelievable!
She couldn’t help but glance at the Korean judge, who nodded at her.
Below the stage, the audience also generously applauded.
Everything seemed settled, after all, the announcement was already made.
Just as the host was about to speak, Luo Susu calmly walked up to her, "Hello, can I borrow your microphone?"
The host was startled, clearly not expecting a contestant to speak.
She remembered that this contestant seemed to have won second place.
"It’s not time for the acceptance speech yet, there will be time to speak later!" She smiled at Luo Susu.
Luo Susu quietly looked at her, as if she hadn’t heard her, making it clear that without lending her the microphone, it wouldn’t be acceptable.
This made the whole room suddenly quiet.
Although no one knew what would happen next, it didn’t seem like she was expressing gratitude.
Lin Xi noticed Luo Susu’s expression when the second place was announced, clearly she didn’t agree with the result.
With her personality, how could she possibly yield!
To study piano techniques under him, she was willing to become his girlfriend, even if it might be nominal.
But this kind of spirit and action showed clearly she wasn’t a silent person.
So encountering such unfairness, how could she be silent, how could she wait until the award ceremony.
In fact, as Lin Xi said, Luo Susu wasn’t willing to be silent. Although this piano competition wasn’t an international one, it was some kind of civilian-organized interaction and exchange.
But within the civilian context, it exactly reflects a country’s overall level of arts.
Winning certainly brings glory to the country.
Losing isn’t a big deal, who can represent a country on their own!
This is how Luo Susu thought!
But why did she unexpectedly take second instead of first, which clearly she could have won!
A shady deal?
If there wasn’t a shady deal, why did this happen?
Could the experienced judges not tell such obvious differences in skill levels?
Definitely not!
So, she wanted to seek the truth!
After coming to the United Kingdom for so many days, preparing for so many days, how could she so easily be concluded upon?
Besides, who said that once judges make a decision, contestants cannot refute it.
Though refuting might not necessarily lead to results, if no one refutes, then there sure won’t be results, and others might even think you’re easy to bully.
"Alright, I’ll give it to you!" The host couldn’t resist Luo Susu and handed the microphone to her.
After all, with so many people watching on stage and off, it wasn’t possible to deny a contestant a chance to speak.
Besides, what’s the big deal with saying a few words, could it possibly cause a disturbance?
Honestly, she was quite curious about what this second-place contestant urgently wanted to say. This clearly meant offending the judges!
Many judges, their expressions were somewhat abnormal, yet maintained their smiles.
The Korean judge showed a trace of indifference, even sneered, appearing unafraid of anything Luo Susu had to say.
"Esteemed judges, I have a question that I’m unsure if I should ask?" Luo Susu said.
The judge who had just announced the results had just sat down, stood up again at this moment, glanced at the judges on either side, saw no objection, and replied,
"Yes, you can say whatever you want!"
Luo Susu nodded, without hesitation, directly said, "Was my performance really only worth second?"
It was like a "click!" sound, the atmosphere in the entire room suddenly solidified.
Next, the judge’s face darkened, at least four judges beside him also their faces darkened.
Several other judges smiled wryly because they had given high scores to Luo Susu and believed she deserved first.
Just unsure why it turned into second!
And the meaning behind Luo Susu’s words was clear, she was questioning them.
The audience immediately heard the underlying meaning, or with such a straightforward question, anyone who’s not particularly dense understood what she meant.
So the hall suddenly became a bit chaotic.
Many questioned the judges, but confronting them like this was the first time.
Could this girl not fear offending the judges?
