Seeing that the two sides were arguing, Ye Sinian suddenly said, "Ye Sinian frowned slightly and said, "It's meaningless to argue about who plagiarized who now. Let's wait for the professional appraisal agency to give the result."

At this point, Ye Sinian looked at everyone present and said, "Dear judges, I have a suggestion. We can ask a professional appraisal agency to appraise these two works to see if they are plagiarized. This will not only ensure the fairness of the competition, but also give Miss Lin and Shen's Group a fair result."

The judges nodded in agreement after hearing Ye Sinian's suggestion. The host also said, "Okay, then we will follow Mr. Ye's suggestion and ask a professional appraisal agency to appraise these two works. Other contestants, continue the competition."

Lin Wanwan looked at Ye Sinian, her heart filled with gratitude.

Hao Jiajia was unwilling to be refuted like this. She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Haoyu. "Okay, stop arguing."

Hao Jiajia glared at Lin Wanwan fiercely, then sat down.

Huo Jingchen held Lin Wanwan's hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, let's sit down and wait patiently."

Lin Wanwan's heart was filled with grievance and anger.

She didn't understand why Shen Haoyu and Hao Jiajia were so shameless as to bite back.

But facing Huo Jingchen's concerned look, Lin Wanwan nodded obediently and sat back in her seat.

At this time, the atmosphere at the jewelry competition became more tense. Other participating designers showed their works one after another. The competition was still going on, as if everything that had just happened was just a small episode.

As other contestants' works were displayed one after another, the tense atmosphere in the venue eased a little, but Lin Wanwan was still nervous.

Seeing this, Huo Jingchen couldn't help but wave to Chen Bo who was standing beside him.

Chen Bo stepped forward and Huo Jingchen whispered something in his ear.

Then Chen Bo nodded and left the competition venue.

At this time, at some point, Hao Jiajia also left the audience.

She came backstage, took out a thick envelope, handed it to the appraisal staff, and said something to them.

This scene happened to be seen by Ye Sinian's men.

After seeing this, the people under Ye Sinian immediately returned to the judges' seat and quietly informed Ye Sinian of the matter. Ye Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Wanwan, who was sitting in the audience, felt increasingly uneasy.

Huo Jingchen noticed her mood change, patted her hand gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Lin Wanwan looked at Huo Jingchen in front of her and nodded slightly, but the worry in her heart was difficult to dispel.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, the game came to an end and the host announced that the results would be announced soon.

The whole place suddenly fell silent, and everyone was nervously waiting for this moment to arrive.

Lin Wanwan held Huo Jingchen's hand tightly, her palms full of sweat.

At this moment, Ye Sinian suddenly stood up and said to the host and judges: "Before the results of the competition are announced, I have something to tell you."

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Ye Sinian, no one knew what he was going to say.

Ye Sinian glanced around the venue, then slowly said, "My people just saw Hao Jiajia contacting the appraisal staff backstage and handing them a thick envelope. I think it is necessary to let everyone know about this matter to ensure the fairness of the appraisal results."

Ye Sinian's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar. The audience began to whisper and question Hao Jiajia's behavior.

Lin Wanwan widened her eyes, her heart filled with anger.

"Hao Jiajia, you actually cheated?"

"I didn't." Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Hao Jiajia suddenly became a little flustered and quickly stood up to deny it.

"Ms. Hao, my people just saw you bribing the appraisal staff with their own eyes. What else do you have to say?"

"Stop accusing me here. You say that I bribed the staff. Do you have any evidence? If there is no evidence, it is a false accusation!" Hao Jiajia said unconvinced, but she felt inexplicably guilty in her heart.

Huo Jingchen looked disdainful and said coldly: "Shen Haoyu, you and Hao Jiajia are in cahoots. You really put a lot of effort into winning this competition! But, as long as I, Huo Jingchen, am here, I will never allow anyone to plagiarize my wife's work."

Shen Haoyu felt a little embarrassed by Huo Jingchen's words. He pretended to be calm and said, "Boss Huo, this is a false accusation!"

“We’ll know whether it’s a false accusation or not soon.” Huo Jingchen had a look of confidence.

Ye Sinian smiled slightly and said slowly, "Ms. Hao, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. My assistant has filmed your act of bribing the staff, and this is the evidence."

As he spoke, Ye Sinian took out his assistant's mobile phone and showed the photos to everyone.

Hao Jiajia's face became even uglier. She bit her lip, not knowing how to refute.

At this time, Shen Haoyu also stood up, his face was also very gloomy. "Mr. Ye, even if Jia Jia really went to find the staff, it doesn't mean that she bribed them. Maybe she just has some questions to ask?"

Ye Sinian shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen, you are making specious arguments. At this critical moment, Miss Hao went to find the appraisal staff and handed them a thick envelope. It is hard not to doubt her purpose. Moreover, we all know that bribing staff during the competition is a serious violation of the rules. Once confirmed, it will be severely punished."

Shen Haoyu was silent for a moment, then said: "Mr. Ye, I hope you don't conclude that Jiajia bribed the staff based on one side's words. We can wait for the appraisal results to come out. If our work is not plagiarized, then it can prove that Jiajia is innocent."

"Mr. Shen, do you think there is no surveillance in the background and we don't know what Hao Jiajia said to the staff? But it doesn't matter, we have other evidence." Ye Sinian curled his lips and clapped his hands.

The next second, the bribed staff member was brought in front of everyone by Ye Sinian's men.

"Master, the person has been brought here."

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were focused on the staff member.

Hao Jiajia and Shen Haoyu's faces turned pale instantly. They didn't expect Ye Sinian to be so efficient. Why did he help Lin Wanwan?

The staff member lowered his head and did not dare to look at the crowd.

Ye Sinian looked at him and said in a serious tone: "Tell me what happened between you and Hao Jiajia. If you take the initiative to confess, you may be able to get a lighter punishment. But if you continue to conceal it, the consequences will be more serious."
