As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces turned gloomy.
Hu Wei suppressed his disgust and glanced at his good brother with a frown, but found that "Cheng Shi"'s face was equally gloomy. He seemed to want to explain something, but gave up in the end.
Seeing this scene, Hu Wei's heart skipped a beat and he cursed inwardly. It seemed that "Zhen Yi" was right, and "Cheng Shi"... had been fooled.
But was Zhen Yi really fooled?
Yes, she was indeed fooled.
Just because she wanted to play the role of "Cheng Shi" better, she deliberately hesitated for a second before she opened her mouth. However, it was this second that allowed Cheng Shi to seize the initiative and defeat her.
The general's opportunity was that the sudden appearance of "Cheng Shi" was extremely illogical. Except for "Zhen Yi" himself, no one could give an explanation for this "slapping himself in the face" behavior, but now, "Zhen Yi" gave an explanation.
The explanation is that "she" has taken away Cheng Shi's memory of the trial, so this fate weaver is no longer important.
So there are only two options left for Cheng Shi:
The first one is to refute "Zhen Yi" and prove that he has not lost his memory.
But in this case, "Cheng Shi" would no longer be "Cheng Shi", because the real Cheng Shi would never let himself become the target of public criticism, so even if "Zhen Yi" was telling lies, he would take the opportunity to hide and let the other party attract all the firepower at the scene.
There were not many people present who knew Cheng Shi well, and the Grand Marshal could barely be counted as one of them, so as long as Zhen Yi made a rebuttal, it would very likely arouse Hu Wei's suspicion, and he might even directly discover her identity.
But if she doesn't want to expose herself, then she can only choose the second path and continue to play the role of "Cheng Shi" and let "Zhen Yi" play.
Once she silently accepts the role of "Cheng Shi", the rhythm on the field will be controlled by the real Cheng Shi, and it is very likely to develop in an unexpected direction.
This is a dilemma, and it is also the best response Cheng Shi could come up with to Zhen Yi's "negotiation" invitation in such a short time!
I only give you two choices. Either you reveal your identity and give up participating in the Grand Marshal's secret event, and we will continue with the second round of identity verification. Or you remain "me" and I remain "you", but from now on this place will become my home court, and you will only be a spectator in the audience!
This decision was too difficult for Zhen Yi, because no matter which one she chose, she had to accept the fact that she had been humiliated again in front of Cheng Shi.
Just like the last time when Little Watermelon was touched, even if she could blame it on her sister, being touched was still being touched, and she needed to bear the consequences of losing the bet.
The same is true now.
This time, Zhen Yi decisively chose to continue playing the role of "Cheng Shi" after quick consideration.
This was not the option she could accept the most, but it was the option that would be most beneficial in maintaining her "reputation as a villain".
In fact, for the real Zhen Yi, she has a third choice, which is to overturn the table and stop playing with Cheng Shi. She has the ability and qualifications to do so.
But the problem is that overturning the table is equivalent to exposing one's own identity. This method may be useful in an ordinary trial, but in front of many top players chosen by the gods, it is tantamount to admitting that one has fallen into a disadvantage in this private confrontation, and is forced to solve the problem by violence!
This is the scene that Zhen Yi least wants to see.
With Chen Shuo present, she knew very well that perhaps the next day, no, most likely within a few hours the entire top circle would know about this matter, and then the "reputation" that she had worked so hard to build would collapse overnight.
After that, when people talk about themselves again, the smiles on their faces will no longer be self-deprecating, but sarcastic.
It's ironic that this master of sorcery who always turns people into fun finally becomes the fun himself.
It’s not that Zhen Yi can’t accept herself becoming a subject of entertainment, but the prerequisite is that she has to be willing and proactive. But now, she is neither willing nor proactive.
So she could only endure it for the time being and take a step back, choosing to continue playing the role of "Cheng Shi", this boring fortune-teller who only knew how to protect himself!
And when Cheng Shi saw that "Cheng Shi" didn't say anything, he knew that he had taken the lead in winning the game where the situation could change at any time.
He used his understanding of Zhen Yi and his own character to trap Zhen Yi in his own identity trap. At the same time, he used one sentence to distance himself from the trial and threw away the bad consequences he had created.
From today on, the title of Zhen Yi’s boyfriend will finally become history.
Even if it is a dark history, it is better than having it hanging on your body forever.
Not only that, his plan to expand the prosperity can also continue.
After all, what does what Zhen Yi said have to do with me, Cheng Shi?
My memory was taken away...
Thus, in the confrontation between the scammers, which was invisible to everyone, the situation was reversed.
Everyone looked at "Zhen Yi" with a grim face, looking gloomy.
He can't be killed or caught. If "Cheng Shi"'s memory is really taken away by "Zhen Yi", then no one will know what happened in that trial unless other players who participated in that trial can be found.
Mo Li looked at Long Jing inquiringly. Long Jing understood what she meant but shook her head irritably. Because Zhen Yi's target had always been Cheng Shi, she did not tell him who else was in the trial.
Therefore, the right of interpretation finally returned to "Zhen Yi", but in the eyes of everyone, "she" was just a liar who was full of lies.
