Chapter 1099 - 1097: Playing Dirty
Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were moved to tears by Su Xiaoxi’s performance, both of them deeply shaken by the disillusionment of life and death they’d witnessed. However, they soon recovered. You Daizi was indeed skilled, but compared to Su Xiaoxi today, she was no longer on the same level—Su Xiaoxi’s performance exceeded anyone’s understanding.
Lin Feng stood behind the two women, watching Su Xiaoxi on stage, nodding his head, sensing that after breaking through the barrier of life and death, Su Xiaoxi’s profound understanding of life allowed her to interpret the song in such a way that surpassed his expectations. He was very satisfied with Su Xiaoxi’s performance today.
"Let’s go, let’s head backstage to see what expressions those two from Dongjing University have," Lin Feng said casually with a smile at the corner of his mouth, leading Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei towards the backstage. He wanted to see what Dongjing University looked like now...
On the other side, Dongjing University’s Mitsui Kazuo and his companions were freaking out!
Damn it, is this Su Xiaoxi’s true strength?
You Daizi’s face was pale; she had thought little of Su Xiaoxi before, but today she realized how large the gap between them was. She didn’t feel wronged by her loss; with her current abilities, she couldn’t compare to Su Xiaoxi at all. She deeply regretted coming here—if she had known Su Xiaoxi would be here, she wouldn’t have come at all!
But it was too late for regrets. After giving Mitsui Kazuo a bitter smile and a bow, she turned and left. She really didn’t want to stay here any longer; she had been thoroughly humiliated and didn’t want to be a laughingstock anymore.
Mitsui Kazuo, in a state of shock, watched You Daizi leave and soon came to his senses. This cultural exchange competition at Yingbo University was already lost; even winning the last match would be futile. This visit to Yingbo University was purely a huge mistake. Not only did it fail to accomplish anything against Yingbo University, but it also embarrassed him tremendously, even messing up the instant translation system; this was truly **** unbelievable!
Watching Su Xiaoxi appear on stage, Mitsui Kazuo’s eyes nearly popped out. Hadn’t Kōji Inoue said that no one at Yingbo University could compare to You Daizi? He really wanted to ask Koji Inoue what the hell was going on...
"Baka, how could Su Xiaoxi be like this... what are you even doing, not knowing that Su Xiaoxi is from Yingbo University? Now our Dongjing University has lost again, with three matches in total, and we’ve already lost two. How am I supposed to explain this to the school and the board of directors!"
Mitsui Kazuo could no longer contain his rage, furiously shouting at Kōji Inoue. His face was as black as the bottom of an iron pot, raging like a berserk bear, wishing he could strangle Kōji Inoue! Was this the definitely winnable match Kōji Inoue had talked about? Continuously losing two matches—if he hadn’t been misled by Kōji Inoue, how could he have faced such humiliation? Just thinking about it filled his gaze towards Kōji Inoue with murderous intent—if looks could kill, he would’ve killed Kōji Inoue right there to soothe his fury...
"Mitsui-sama, I... I didn’t know it would turn out like this... they... they tricked us, Su Xiaoxi can’t possibly be a student from Yingbo University, this must be their scheme, this can’t be my fault..." Seeing Mitsui Kazuo so enraged, Kōji Inoue was genuinely scared, stammering in his explanation. It really wasn’t his fault; there was nothing about Su Xiaoxi in the intelligence, and Yingbo University didn’t officially list Su Xiaoxi as a student—it was Yingbo University cheating!
"What’s the use of saying all these nonsense now, it’s all too late! Kōji, just wait until we return to our country!" Mitsui Kazuo said viciously, completely ignoring Kōji Inoue’s explanations. Having been made a fool, how could he possibly let Kōji Inoue get off easily? Once back in the country, naturally, there would be countless ways to deal with Kōji Inoue.
"Mitsui-sama, it really isn’t my fault, there’s still a chance to remedy this situation. If we can prove that Yingbo University violated the rules, then we win this match!" Hearing Mitsui Kazuo say this, Kōji Inoue became incredibly anxious, cold sweat immediately breaking out on his forehead. He hastily tried to find a solution, knowing how bad the situation was, but if they wanted to turn things around, they could only start from this angle, otherwise, he would be in big trouble!
"This..."
Initially furious, Mitsui Kazuo, upon hearing Kōji Inoue’s words, suddenly had a change of expression, the rage on his face somewhat subsiding. Just as Kōji Inoue had said, the situation was not completely without hope. If they could prove that Su Xiaoxi was not from Yingbo University, then this match could be considered a win for them, and they might even gain other advantages.
"Come on, let’s go find Ding Wan’er. I want to see what Ding Wan’er has to say about this!" Thinking this, Mitsui Kazuo immediately told Kōji Inoue, and turned around planning to lead Kōji Inoue to find Ding Wan’er.
But they had just walked a short distance when they saw Lin Feng leading Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei coming their way.
"Dean Ding, what do you mean by this? Su Xiaoxi is clearly not a student of Yingbo University, yet you let her participate, which is against the rules. If you don’t explain this matter clearly, don’t blame us for blowing this up!" Seeing Ding Wan’er, Mitsui Kazuo angrily said, he really wanted to see how Ding Wan’er would explain this matter. If there is no convincing evidence, then don’t blame him for getting furious!
"Who says Su Xiaoxi is not a student of Yingbo University? Do you have any evidence?" Seeing Mitsui Kazuo’s angry look, Ding Wan’er directly retorted, feeling very pleased inside, what you call shooting oneself in the foot, that is exactly what Mitsui Kazuo is doing right now.
"Of course we have evidence, we have already investigated, and in the student records of Yingbo University, there is no mention of Su Xiaoxi, you are cheating! I am going to report this matter to the World University Alliance and have Yingbo University punished!"
Already very angry, Kōji Inoue, hearing Ding Wan’er’s retort, immediately exploded, shouting at Ding Wan’er, if they hadn’t thoroughly investigated Yingbo University’s background, why would they choose a performance competition as one of the exchange projects? At that time, there was no record of a person named Su Xiaoxi in Yingbo University!
"Cheating? If we are talking about cheating, wouldn’t it be you? The name of You Daizi isn’t on your exchange team’s list, and suddenly appeared today, what’s the deal with that, seems like there’s some problem, right?" Ding Wan’er looked at Kōji Inoue, very composed and calmly said. If it comes to cheating, it is clearly Dongjing University that started it, and now she wanted to see what Kōji Inoue would say.
"That... that’s because You Daizi just managed to free up some time, and rushed over! Moreover, You Daizi is indeed a student of Dongjing University, you can investigate this through any channel! But Dean Ding, you should not dodge the issue, Su Xiaoxi is not a student of Yingbo University. How do you explain this?"
Kōji Inoue was a bit flustered by Ding Wan’er’s question, indeed there was an issue with what they had done, for confidentiality reasons, You Daizi’s name wasn’t on the exchange team’s list, but it was undeniable that You Daizi was a student of Dongjing University, now he just wanted to hear what Ding Wan’er had to say about Su Xiaoxi.
"Dean Ding, I never thought Yingbo University would do such a thing, stop at nothing to win, letting a celebrity like Su Xiaoxi compete against Dongjing University. If this matter isn’t cleared up, don’t blame me for the consequences!" Mitsui Kazuo also sternly said, no matter what, it was wrong for Yingbo University to let Su Xiaoxi participate, if Ding Wan’er wasn’t giving an explanation, then he had room for maneuver.
"Explain? Why should I explain? See for yourselves!" Ding Wan’er, seeing the state of the two, smiled faintly, as if watching two clowns perform, she simply said one sentence, then threw a document from her bag to Mitsui Kazuo and Kōji Inoue.
Mitsui Kazuo and Kōji Inoue did not understand what to look at, once the two opened the document, they immediately froze upon seeing the content, this document was the file of Su Xiaoxi at Yingbo University, and the date on the file was from a few months back, and it also had a unified educational system code, in other words, Su Xiaoxi was indeed a person from Yingbo University! Only no one knew until now.
Seeing this, the two changed their facial expressions immediately, Mitsui Kazuo’s face turned red with anger, without a word, he slapped Kōji Inoue!
"Smack!"
The slap sound was crisp and clear, everyone present heard it, Kōji Inoue didn’t dare to talk back, his mind was blank, why couldn’t they find out earlier that Su Xiaoxi was a student of Yingbo University, this... this was too bizarre!
"You fool, haven’t you apologized to Dean Ding yet, you didn’t even know Su Xiaoxi was from Yingbo University and still misled me here, you deserve to die!" Mitsui Kazuo stared at Kōji Inoue and roared, cursing himself for listening to Kōji Inoue’s nonsense, he was really being set up!
Kōji Inoue, now where still dares to say anything, immediately prepared to apologize to Ding Wan’er, but before he could speak, he was stopped by a wave of Ding Wan’er’s hand.
"No need for apologies, I want to know now if Yingbo University won this competition or not?" Ding Wan’er didn’t want to waste any more words, nor did she want to waste time watching two clowns perform, so going straight to the point was better.
"This... Dean Ding, the outcome of this competition is really hard to say, You Daizi’s performance and Su Xiaoxi’s performance were both spectacular, indistinguishable from each other, and besides, this was an exchange, there’s no need to distinguish a clear winner, right? How about we call it a tie, would that be good?" Hearing Ding Wan’er’s words, Mitsui Kazuo’s face twitched, afraid of what’s coming, now he said anything but couldn’t admit this competition was lost, unlike a basketball game, there was no referee nor scoring, even if he acted shamelessly Ding Wan’er had no way to object.
Mitsui Kazuo was now so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood, originally all three arranged competitions were guaranteed wins, yet now after two competitions, they had lost both, if this competition was also deemed a loss, then this trip to Tianhai would be hugely embarrassing for him, for his own face, he could only stick to claiming a tie.
