Chen Jian knew Feng Wei’s character very well and understood that she intended to use him as a scapegoat. He became annoyed and retorted, “You can’t say that, Chairwoman Feng. If you hadn’t threatened me with your position as chairman, I wouldn’t have resorted to such biased cheating in this formal assessment!”
“Who threatened you?” Feng Wei hurriedly denied, “He’s lying. Don’t believe him. I could never do such a thing!”
Her bewildered appearance was clear to everyone.
No one believed Feng Wei’s words, especially since Chen Jian had already turned against her. She had no way to deny the truth.
The reason she dared to challenge Lu Si was that she was unaware of his identity. If she knew that the legendary Master Lu Si was the person standing before her, she would never have dared to confront him.
That would be risking the future of the Mei family!
Chen Jian, too, no longer cared about his goddess compared to his career. He decisively said, “I have evidence! I recorded everything she said to me just now. If you don’t believe me, you can listen to the recording!”
As soon as he said this, Feng Wei was taken aback and couldn’t utter a word.
She was usually very cautious and never left any evidence behind. However, it was because of Chen Jian’s long loyalty that she had let her guard down.
Unexpectedly, a moment of carelessness today allowed this wild dog to bite her!
Feng Wei could only admit her misfortune.
Lu Si raised an eyebrow in satisfaction and extended his hand, “Give it to me.”
Chen Jian quickly handed over the item.
Jiang He received the storage card on behalf of his master and took it backstage. After a few quick operations by the staff, a clear audio clip resounded throughout the competition venue.
In fact, Feng Wei had been cautious; she didn’t directly instruct Chen Jian to give Mei Shu a low score, but there were implications in her tone, and Chen Jian colluded with her.
After the recording was played, the truth was clear, and the whole venue erupted into an uproar.
With such despicable and shameless people as judges, what value did this competition have?
Feng Wei collapsed to her chair, covering her face with her hands and unable to say a word.
In the face of evidence, she had no way to argue.
The other judges cast disdainful glances at the two and were even more curious about Mei Shu’s identity.
Undoubtedly, Mei Shu received a fair result today because of Master Lu Si’s assistance.
But they didn’t know the relationship between these two people.
Or perhaps Master Lu Si couldn’t stand this cheating behavior and came out to stand up for justice?
As the judges were speculating, the emotions of the audience below had erupted completely. They couldn’t bear it any longer and roared, “Blacklist Feng Wei, Blacklist Chen Jian! Let them both get out of the piano world together!”
The noise inside the venue shook the heavens.
Feng Wei cowered in her chair, covering her ears, pretending that as long as she couldn’t hear these voices, the malice from the outside world would disappear.
Lu Si was very thoughtful in his actions.
He gave Jiang He a meaningful glance.
Jiang He immediately understood and personally went backstage to greet the two elderly people and walked them to the center of the stage.
The moment the two appeared, the entire competition venue fell silent.
Zhang Jun and the others subconsciously stood up from their chairs, their eyes turning red from excitement. “Senior Wu, Senior Wen, why are you both here?”
Senior Wu had a bad temper, and he coldly snorted, “If I didn’t come, you people would have tarnished the art of piano. How could such dirty tricks be brought into the competition venue?”
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Chen Jian and Feng Wei.
Feng Wei even forgot to shed tears, staring blankly at the elderly people on stage, and choked out, “Teacher.”
“Don’t call me teacher! I don’t have a student like you!” Senior Wu was once known as the Prince of Piano during his youth. He turned down many foreign invitations and decisively returned to the motherland to teach and educate students.
He had dreamed of nurturing the most top-notch pianists in the country in his lifetime.
But he didn’t expect that his dream would not come true, and instead, he taught a student like Feng Wei!
It was a lifelong shame for him!
“Feng Wei, do you have any face to stand here? Hurry up and get out! If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have handed over the position of chairman of the piano association to you back then! Your actions have completely tarnished the Lin City Piano Association!”
Overwhelmed with shame, Feng Wei could not hold back her tears once again.
She couldn’t bear the relentless criticism from her teacher and the condemning gazes of those around her, so she angrily left the scene.
Seeing her leave, Chen Jian naturally wouldn’t stay to be targeted by everyone. After bidding farewell to the two senior pianists on stage, he bowed to Lu Si and Mei Shu as an apology before leaving the venue, enduring the disdainful glances from the audience.
With all the troublemakers gone, Senior Wu’s mood improved considerably.
He looked at Mei Shu, and for the first time in a long while, a kind smile appeared on his stern face.. He asked with concern, “Little girl, who is your teacher? How come I’ve never seen you before?”
