Chapter 550: 548, Open Audition (Part 2)

"Luo Shu, your Tenglong Group should definitely organize more of these events in the future. They are so interesting!"

"The first contestant set the bar high; the others must be feeling the pressure now."

As the first contestant left the stage, the host walked up again.

"What an exquisite dance that was! I am sure the audience, both here and in front of their TVs, didn’t get enough of it, did they?"

"Don’t worry, the remaining contestants have put in a lot of effort to prepare even more spectacular performances for everyone."

"The next contestant will bring us a flute performance, ’The Shepherd’s Song’."

"Applause!" Once again, a round of loud applause rang out from the audience.

A tall woman walked out from backstage. She gracefully bowed to everyone present, then raised the flute to her lips and began to play.

The simple, fresh, and moving sound of the flute slowly wafted out as she played, filling the entire hall and making one want to close their eyes and listen in silence.

When the piece ended, the lingering sound left the audience still intoxicated by the beautiful flute music.

It wasn’t until the host took to the stage that the audience realized the flute music had already stopped.

"Before we bring on the third contestant, let’s take a look at the scores given to the first contestant by our judges."

The judges raised their scorecards.

"Teacher Jiang gives a 9. That’s already a good score."

"Teacher Wang gives a 9.1."

"Teacher Chen gives an 8.9. It seems our judges have all rated Li Li very highly!"

"Li Li’s average score is 9. Let’s congratulate Li Li with our applause. Now, please welcome our next contestant, Wu Jing, who will perform the Finger Dance for us."

The talent performances onstage were tremendously impressive, leaving the audience in awe.

Mu Wan was today’s tenth and last contestant. After her performance, the overall champion would be chosen from among these ten contestants.

Currently, Yan Xuan was in the lead. Her singing voice, with a hint of sexy huskiness, was like a gentle whisper tickling the heartstrings of many and leaving them wanting more.

"Here comes Mu Wan! Let’s start applauding!" Zhang Qi shouted excitedly, clapping vigorously.

"Mu Wan, keep it up! Mu Wan, keep it up!"

"Mu Wan is the best!" As Zhang Qi and her companions cheered for Mu Wan, countless other voices joined in, offering their support.

Through ’My Youth’, Mu Wan had battled her way through each round with remarkable performances, winning the support of many. Additionally, her generous personality had greatly endeared her to the public.

Therefore, Mu Wan was one of the top-contending contestants in these auditions. Although she had not yet won, she already had a strong following of fans.

Mu Wan bowed to everyone, and as the music started, she cleared her throat and began to sing the song she had carefully prepared. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a bubbling mountain stream or a breeze whispering through willows, creating ripples in the hearts of the audience.

Just as everyone was immersed in her song, Mu Wan’s singing abruptly stopped.

The audience snapped back to reality and turned their attention to Mu Wan, only to see her in obvious pain, mouth open as she desperately tried to make a sound. But her throat seemed to be blocked, not a single note coming out.

"What happened to Mu Wan? What happened?"

"Why did she stop singing?"

Luo Shu turned around only to find that Mu Wan had disappeared without a trace. Frantically looking around, she saw that Mu Wan had already rushed onto the stage.

"Let’s go up there too," Wang Fei said to the still bewildered crowd.

When Mu Wan was unable to speak, Luo Shu had already scanned her with Divine Sense. She knew that Mu Wan had been afflicted with a drug that could temporarily take away one’s voice.

"The competition is suspended!" Luo Shu’s voice was cold. Her heart was filled with rage; she couldn’t believe someone dared to play such a despicable trick on her friend right under her nose—it was unforgivable.

The judges at the jury table were surprised by Luo Shu’s identity when they heard Luo Qin say, "She’s our chairman." Luo Shu rarely made public appearances, and aside from a handful of people who had seen her, many only knew her by name.

Luo Qin stepped onto the stage and took a microphone from one of the hosts. She said to everyone present, "I’m very sorry! There has been a small incident. The competition is temporarily suspended, and we will reschedule for another day. We, Tenglong Group, apologize for any inconvenience this has caused."

Luo Shu handed a pill to Mu Wan and pulled her backstage.

"Who did it?!" Luo Shu’s gaze swept across the crowd, her voice as sharp as a chilly wind.

Everyone shivered involuntarily under Luo Shu’s piercing gaze.

"If no one comes forward now, when I find out who it is, I’ll hand them over to the security officer," Luo Shu said, her voice as cold as ice as she looked at them.

Wang Fei and the others also arrived backstage and quickly understood what was happening when they heard Luo Shu’s words.

"Who’s so despicable to resort to these dirty tricks?"

"Is the result of the competition really that important to you?"

"It’s better to come forward and admit it now! Otherwise, it might become an uncontrollable mess," Wang Fei and the others said angrily, looking at the people present. These girls were talented, and they really didn’t want to see their lives ruined over this incident.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Luo Shu withdrew her gaze and turned to Mu Wan, "Mu Wan, what did you eat before you went on stage?"

Mu Wan thought hard and said, "Yan Xuan gave me a glass of water, and Yang Yun gave me a Cooling Candy."

"I gave you water out of kindness, Mu Wan, please don’t falsely accuse me," Yan Xuan said, displeased.

"The same goes for me. Besides, I gave not only you Cooling Candy but also Luo Luo, Yanyan, and the others. Ask them if you don’t believe me," Yang Yun also felt rather aggrieved.

"Is that all you had?" Luo Shu confirmed again.

"I also had breakfast, provided by the company," Mu Wan replied.

Luo Shu nodded, "Who were you sitting with, and did anyone touch your plate?" Although Yan Xuan and Yang Yun were the prime suspects, others couldn’t be ruled out.

Mu Wan thought hard and said, "At that time, Luo Luo, Yanyan, and Yang Yun were sitting with me, and I got up to go to the restroom once." These three were her closest friends, and she really hoped it wasn’t any of them.

"Who are you, anyway? Shouldn’t the organizers be handling this?"

"Exactly! What right do you have to interfere?" They had been intimidated by Luo Shu earlier, but now they had regained their composure.

"Who says she don’t have the right? If she doesn’t, then no one does," Zhang Qi said with a sneer.

"She’s the boss of Tenglong Group, would you say she has the right?" Wang Fei asked with a triumphant sneer.
