For a moment, the atmosphere in the judges' seats became extremely tense.
At this moment, Jace suddenly stood up, walked to Victor and whispered something. Victor's face instantly became even gloomier.
"Ye Ling, you go down first. The review results will be announced later." Victor said to Ye Ling expressionlessly, without any emotion in his tone.
Ye Ling looked at him deeply, turned around and walked off the stage, leaving behind a suspenseful back.
Duan Yu walked over to her, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and spoke with a hint of concern: "Are you okay? What did they say?" As soon as Ye Ling stepped off the stage, she felt that the atmosphere around her was not right.
Orianna's face turned pale, and she pointed at the big screen tremblingly: "Sister Ye Ling, look!"
A line of words suddenly appeared on the screen: After investigation, it was found that contestant Ye Ling had plagiarized ideas and was disqualified.
"What?!" Ye Ling felt like she was struck by lightning. This was simply a bolt from the blue!
Jace stood in the crowd with a sinister smile on his face. He walked up to Ye Ling and said sarcastically, "Oh, what a pity! I never thought you'd end up like this. How does it feel to plagiarize my ideas?"
"Bullshit! I've never seen your design!" Ye Ling was furious. She knew that this was the work of Jace and Victor.
"Whether there's plagiarism or not, everyone knows it." Victor walked over and said in a cold tone, "The evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"
"Evidence? What evidence? Show it to me!" Ye Ling argued.
Victor sneered and took out a few drawings. They were Ye Ling's design drafts, but Jace's name and date were clearly marked on the drawings, which was a full month earlier than Ye Ling's design.
Ye Ling was stunned. This was clearly a fake!
"That's impossible!" Bron stood up to defend Ye Ling. "I watched Ye Ling complete her design with my own eyes. It's absolutely impossible that she plagiarized!"
"The facts are right before your eyes, you can't help but believe it." Jace said proudly, "Ye Ling, you'd better admit defeat obediently to avoid embarrassment."
At this moment, Jinx suddenly appeared, holding a USB drive, and walked to the judges' table: "Dear judges, I have new evidence here."
Jinx played the video in the USB flash drive, which clearly recorded the entire process of how Jayce stole Ye Ling's design and forged evidence.
"Jace, do you have anything else to say?" Jinx crossed her arms.
Jace's face turned pale in an instant. He didn't expect Jinx to appear suddenly, and he didn't expect her to record it all.
"I..." Jace was speechless and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Victor's face turned pale. He glared at Jace fiercely, then announced, "After re-evaluation, Ye Ling won first place in this competition!"
The whole audience erupted in thunderous applause. Ye Ling stood on the podium with mixed feelings.
Duan Yu walked to her side, hugged her gently, and whispered in her ear: "I know you can do it."
Ye Ling hugged Duan Yu tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"Where should we go to celebrate next?" Duan Yu asked with a smile.
Ye Ling wiped away her tears and smiled slyly: "Why not..."
