Hearing Jiang Xiangyang's words, Shen Ling's heart sank.

Yes, that's right, what Jiang Xiangyang said is absolutely right.

What happened this time was so sudden that she had no conclusive evidence to prove that Shen Zhiqing had plagiarized her work.

The expression on Shen Ling's face remained unchanged, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Soon, Shen Ling smiled and spoke.

"You are right. What happened last time cannot be confused with what happened this time. Even if Miss Shen stole my mother's manuscript last time, it does not mean that she stole the manuscript of my work this time."

“I just want to say that since manuscript piracy can happen for the first time, it’s not surprising that it happens a second time, right?”

"And everyone here today is a leader in the design world. I think you all know what a design work means to a designer, right?"

"I just want to say that if a designer with poor character can commit plagiarism once, then she can do it a second time."

Shen Ling still had a smile on his face, but that smile made people feel a little chilly no matter how they looked at it.

"It seems that Miss Shen insists that designer Shen Zhiqing stole the manuscript?"

The smile on Jiang Xiangyang's face faded.

"I'm not insisting that she stole the manuscript, I'm just convinced that she

Stolen my manuscript."

Shen Ling also glanced at Jiang Xiangyang indifferently, not wanting to be outdone.

"In that case, you might as well tell Miss Shen about the rules here."

"The design competition we have here is not something that anyone can participate in. Likewise, the results of our competition here are not something anyone can overturn at will."

"If you doubt that Miss Shen Zhiqing's work was stolen, I'm sorry, Miss Shen, but you have to provide evidence."

"If you can't produce any evidence that can prove the truth of what you said, you will be responsible for what you say now."

"What responsibilities do I have?"

"We have the right to pursue legal responsibility against you for slandering the reputation of others."

Jiang Xiangyang's expression was calm, and the kind smile that was still hanging on his face disappeared without a trace.

"You mean I'm slandering her."

"If this is not the case, what does Miss Shen's current behavior mean?"

Jiang Xiangyang looked at Shen Ling with a half-smile but not a smile, his small eyes full of coldness.

"What I said is true, but I can't provide evidence now. It may take some time."

Shen Ling was not disturbed by this, but was very calm.

"Hahaha,"

After hearing what Shen Ling said, Jiang Xiangyang not only did not panic, but even laughed out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

Shen Ling frowned.

"I'm afraid this is Miss Shen's first time participating in our design competition."

Jiang Xiangyang didn't answer the question.

Shen Ling did not speak, which was considered acquiescence.

However, Jiang Xiangyang did not wait for her answer. After seeing Shen Ling's silence, he smiled softly and continued his speech.

"I think it is necessary for me to explain the rules of our design competition to Miss Shen. The most annoying thing about our design competition over the years is others making trouble."

"In order to prevent some villains from deliberately provoking trouble, slandering our designers' entries, and reporting designers for plagiarism, evidence needs to be produced on the spot in the presence of all the examiners."

"If I couldn't show it at the time, it would be considered slander."

Jiang Xiangyang's somewhat rough voice sounded throughout the design competition, making people feel a little uncomfortable listening to it.

When he mentioned the word "villain", he emphasized the pronunciation specially. He looked at Shen Ling meaningfully, and the meaning in his words was simply self-evident.

But Shen Ling didn't have the time to take care of that much.

After hearing this, she subconsciously frowned and looked at Xie Yuan.

When Shen Ling saw Xie Yuan's somewhat heavy expression, her heart skipped a beat.

Xie Yuan's face was a little gloomy, and he didn't have much expression.

Only then did Shen Ling notice that it seemed that since the design work was announced, except for the beginning, when Xie Yuan and Shen Zhiqing were tit-for-tat, and after a few words, they had been silent the rest of the time.

"Yu An, is everything he said true?"

Shen Ling actually believed it in his heart, but he still asked reluctantly.

Xie Yuan frowned and nodded gently.

The moment he saw Xie Yuan nodding, Shen Ling's heart sank, as if it had hit the bottom at that moment.

He raised his head and saw Shen Zhiqing's triumphant expression.

No wonder, no wonder Xie Yuan didn't look for evidence from the beginning.

No wonder he just kept irritating Shen Zhiqing, trying to make her say the wrong thing.

No wonder Shen Zhiqing stood there so confidently.

No wonder...

Shen Ling's heart suddenly became very heavy.

Now, how to break this deadlock?

"If Miss Shen can't produce evidence, don't stand here and cause trouble for our competition. Please respect our first place in the competition."

Jiang Xiangyang took advantage of the victory and continued to rub salt into Shen Ling's wounds.

Shen Ling bit her lip, suddenly feeling a little hesitant.

She really couldn't produce any evidence.

Although through what she just said, everyone in the audience basically understood what kind of person Shen Zhiqing was.

There is doubt as to whether she actually won first place.

But after all, doubts are just doubts, and Shen Zhiqing cannot be convicted without substantial evidence.

If he could not prove that Shen Zhiqing had stolen the manuscript, not only would he not be able to get his and Xie Yuan's works back, but he would also be charged with damaging the reputation of others. It would simply be more gain than loss.

When Jiang Xiangyang saw Shen Ling's rare silence, he couldn't help but curl his lips and reveal a proud smile that could be called a winner.

"In that case..."

"Wait a minute, don't jump to conclusions so quickly."

Suddenly, a deep and melodious male voice cut in. Compared to Fu Shengyan's mellow and deep voice, and compared to Xie Yuan's crisp and melodious voice, this man's voice was obviously a bit cheerful.

Well, how should I put it? That is, he has the sunshine of a big boy.

This voice came so unexpectedly that everyone present instantly turned their attention to the direction of the speaker.

I saw only one man, oh, no, to be precise, it should be a boy.

He was wearing a simple sportswear and a pair of black sunglasses, and his facial features were not that deep.

But as he spoke, two shallow pear pits appeared on his cheeks.

For a boy, this kind of appearance can even be said to be a bit baby-faced.

That's right, he is the boy who just watched the whole thing develop with a cold eye.

As soon as this boy appeared, the audience exploded.

"Who are you?"
