"Stop pretending!"
Although Xi Rubao’s breath was unsteady, her voice was sharp, "Gu Shiyin, you switch between different identities all day long to gain all kinds of benefits. Aren’t you tired? I’m tired for you!"
Gu Shiyin’s eyes flickered slightly, her expression quickly turned calm: "I don’t understand what you’re saying, everyone already understands . You’re the one who insists on targeting like Bai He; there’s nothing I can do, after all, jealousy..."
"Ha, you an jealousy of talent? How thick-skinned you are! Obviously, it’s divine punishnt for a liar like you, isn’t it?" Xi Rubao interrupted her unceremoniously, slamming a heavy paper bag onto the platform in front of Gu Shiyin’s trophy.
The host was startled: "Easy, easy, the trophy is made of crystal..."
However, everyone’s attention was focused on that simple paper bag; who cared about the trophy now?
What was inside this bag?
"Evidence! This is the evidence of Gu Shiyin’s transactions with people from country M. Everything Sister Bai He said just now is true; Gu Shiyin is nothing but a liar, a national traitor! In the face of evidence, let’s see how she pretends!" Xi Rubao said assertively.
The security guard behind her dutifully added: "Found in locker 007. The letters on the bag are from country M; we from the Empire don’t normally use such paper bags."
There was an uproar in the room.
No one noticed the mont of paleness on Gu Shiyin’s face.
Bai He looked thoughtfully at Xi Rubao, thinking to herself that this person was truly a little detective today; perhaps sent by the Ancestor as reinforcent?
She smiled and added without hesitation: "Gu Shiyin, don’t try to claim soone frad you. If you deny, we can imdiately do a fingerprint analysis to see if your fingerprints or those of the players from country M are on it."
Gu Shiyin’s face turned pale once again.
Her lips moved slightly, tightly biting them without speaking.
The audience couldn’t sit still, stood up again in anger:
"God, we trusted you wrongly!"
"God, we protected you with all our hearts, and this is how you repay us?"
"God, you have deeply disappointed us!"
Amidst a chorus of accusations, Bai He and Xi Rubao exchanged a victorious glance, thinking to themselves that they had truly nailed Gu Shiyin to the pillar of sha this ti.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shiyin’s tightly bitten lips suddenly relaxed: "This bag was indeed given to by a friend from country M..."
Hey, the Ma Jia Monster actually admitted guilt?
Bai He and Xi Rubao turned their heads in surprise, staring at Gu Shiyin.
Gu Shiyin suddenly turned the paper bag upside down, spilling its contents all over the tabletop with a clatter!
Not the expected banknotes or gold bars, but a pile of gray, dust-covered... plant roots?
"This is a kind of herbal dicine ’Yangqin Stalk’ native to country M, a ’Miracle dicine’ for nourishing nerves. Due to overharvesting, it has long disappeared from the market, with only a little remaining in the country’s royal family."
"I admit I didn’t give my all in this competition."
"I also admit that I made a deal with country M."
"But I didn’t take any money, just this bag of herbs!"
"I didn’t do it for myself, but for a man who plays a crucial role in the Empire."
"Compared to this man’s life and death, a re Championship Cup ans nothing."
"You can criticize , beat , but to save this man’s life, I’m willing to bear the label of a traitor!"
The already excited crowd was stirred up even more.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Even with the transaction during the competition confird, there’s still a twist?
Who is the man that made God willing to risk her career and her powerful identity to get dicine for him?
"Who is he?" Xi Rubao asked, her voice trembling slightly, with a sense of foreboding.
Only to hear Gu Shiyin slowly utter the man’s na: "Bao Gucheng, the War God of the Empire."
