Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself-Chapter 1426 - Emergency

1426 Emergency

Just as He Wenxian was panicking, Qiao Xi looked at her and asked with a smile, “Miss He, what do you think?”

Before He Wenxian could speak, Twilight said casually, “Miss Qiao, I admire you for giving up your special request for the sake of the overall situation. Let’s start the competition.”

Expert Yu also immediately said, “Everything has been arranged. Please carry out the restoration work in the hall.”

He Wenxian felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Her body was so stiff that she could not move. She never expected that Qiao Xi would speak before her and cut off her escape route.

!!

He Weinian’s gaze gradually turned cold. This was the first time Qiao Xi had seen him reveal such an expression in front of everyone. After all, he had been pretending for many years and would not easily expose himself. It seemed that he was really angry!

Qiao Xi smiled at the He family.

Could they not take it anymore? However, this was just the beginning! Didn’t He Wenxian say that she was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor? Then they shall see what would happen in the competition later on. When He Wenxian’s identity was exposed, how would the He family explain themselves?

If she could not even explain the matter, how could she explain that she hired an assassin to kill Qiao Xi?

Today, Qiao Xi would tear off the sheepskin this group of foxes was wearing and let everyone see the kind of people they were!

He Wenxian was in a daze. She did not even know how she stood on stage. She did not seem to be able to hear anything except her uneasy heartbeat.

Expert Yu held the microphone and announced, “This competition is divided into theoretical and practical parts. As Mr. Twilight is very familiar with the restoration method of the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, he’ll be the inspector. I believe that with Mr. Twilight’s ability, he’ll definitely be able to find the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor and give everyone present an explanation!”

This was the first time everyone had seen such a competition. They all widened their eyes and looked at the stage. ƒ𝚛e𝘦𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃𝘦𝑙. 𝒄o𝓂

At this moment, He Wenxian’s face was pale as she looked at He Weinian in a panic.

On the other hand, He Weinian’s expression was indifferent as he nodded at her. Last night, he had already gotten someone to buy the questions for the competition and asked He Wenxian to memorize the answers overnight. Hence, there were no problems with this part.

When He Wenxian saw that the questions on the paper were the same as the ones she memorized last night, she heaved a sigh of relief. She relied on her memory to finish all the questions and even seriously checked them before handing them to Expert Yu.

“Congratulations, both of you! You got full marks for the theoretical questions!”

The entire venue was in an uproar, but it was not strange. After all, it was all about memorizing things. As long as one had learned the craft, one would definitely be able to answer the questions. The next round of the competition mainly depended on practical skills.

He Wenxian lowered her eyes and said in a gentle voice, “Xi Xi, it’s not difficult to get full marks in the first round of the competition, but it’s not that easy to get full marks in the practical aspect.

“If you withdraw from the competition now, no one will laugh at you. After all, your hand is injured, and you’ve already obtained full marks for your theory. You’ve proven your ability.” He Wenxian paused for a moment and continued, “Xi Xi, are you sure you want to compete?”

Everyone’s gazes moved between the two of them. Could it be that Qiao Xi was withdrawing?

At this moment, Qiao Xi, who was on the stage, was preparing the tools she needed. She replied without raising her head, “I’m sure! Miss He, if you have time, you should think about yourself. You don’t have to worry about me.”

He Wenxian’s expression was gloomy as she shook her head helplessly. “Xi Xi, since this is your choice, then I have nothing to say. I hope you won’t regret it.”

Qiao Xi still did not raise her head as if she did not hear her.

Just as the practical competition was about to start, a man suddenly rushed up from below the stage. As he was too fast, by the time everyone reacted, that person had already rushed in front of He Wenxian and poured the water in a thermos onto her hand.

“Ah!!!” A scream resounded throughout the hall.

Everyone took a closer look. He Wenxian’s hands instantly turned red, and blisters quickly appeared on them. She cried from the pain and fell to the floor weakly.

The scene in front stunned everyone for a few seconds before they became restless.

“Miss He!”

“Wenxian!” He Tingchen and He Weinian rushed onto the stage immediately. Madam He’s face was also pale. She went over to support He Wenxian’s shoulder, her eyes filled with tears of heartache.

He Wenxian whimpered in pain and frowned. Tears trickled down her face as she choked. “Dad, Mom, I… My hand…”

The water in the thermos had just been boiled and was poured onto her hand. One could imagine the pain. He Wenxian had been pampered since she was young and had never been tortured like this.

She gritted her teeth, her heart filled with resentment.

Sooner or later, she would make Qiao Xi suffer a hundred times more!
