Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 537

After the host finished announcing, the heightened enthusiastic cheers and applause suddenly quieted down. All those who present were stunned and looked at the host.

A few seconds later, an intense debate broke out on the spot.

"Why were points deducted from Bay City University?"

"What kind of competition is this? It's all internally fixed."

"What on earth are you guys doing? It's clear that Bay City University is the winner."

The host's face turned pale and explained, "During the performance by Bay City University, we found that there were parts which were lip-synced. So, according to the rules set by the organisers, 15 points were deducted as penalty."

As soon as the host finished explaining, the stadium erupted with anger.

"Bullsh*t, how could it be possible for Bay City University to lip-sync?"

"I was sitting in the first row at that time, and

I heard it clearly. It was all Yuri Zhang's voice. How could it be lip-syncing?"

Erasmus Sun and Elisha Ding, who were sitting on the judges' seats, couldn't sit still anymore. They questioned the results outrightly.

"We are the judges. Who gave you the right to randomly deduct points?"

"I'm certain that Yuri Zhang didn't lip-sync. The point deduction made no sense."

"Please add the points back immediately and announce the rankings again?" Erasmus said angrily.

In the face of the angry questioning, the host had to insist and said, "This is the result after thorough investigation by the organisers. It can't be changed."

Erasmus got angry when he heard this. He threw whatever he was holding on the ground and shouted, "Who's the organiser? Who's the person? Show me how this thorough investigation was done. Please explain to me"

The host was rendered speechless by the questions and stammered, "This, this, I..."

Erasmus grew even angrier when he saw this. He bellowed, "If you didn't give me a satisfactory answer about this matter, I'll definitely pursue this matter to the end."

Elisha also nodded and said, "And me too."

The host didn't know what to do at all. Just as he was losing it, a cold voice could be heard as the person walked up to the stage and said, "This is the decision of the Ministry of Culture. Do you still want to question it?"

Hearing the voice, everyone looked over and saw two figures walking onto the stage. The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a stern look.

Ordinary audiences might not know this man, but the judges on the scene and the people in the teams recognized him at a glance. This person was Archibald Zhao, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Culture, and also the person in charge of this competition.

Instantly, there was a sudden cry of surprise.

"Deputy Minister Zhao, this is actually a decision made by Deputy Minister Zhao himself?"

"Deputy Minister Zhao is such a high-ranking official. How could he speak out in person? Is this for real?"

"Maybe there's really something going on internally."

With Archibald's words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed from resentment to trust, with some of them still doubted secretly.

However, Erasmus, who were sitting at the judges' seats, remained indifferent. He did not back down and said, "Deputy Minister Zhao, why did you deduct points off Bay City University? I hope to hear a reasonable explanation."

Archibald Zhao glanced at Erasmus and replied in a cold voice, "The host had explained the reason just now. Lip-syncing!" "Impossible!" Erasmus said decisively, "I've been in the music industry for so many years, how could I not notice the lip-syncing! I'm sure Yuri Zhang didn't lip-sync. So, I want to ask Deputy Minister Zhao to review and change the scores of Bay City University."

Archibald snorted and said, "There's no need. This score was determined by the expert panel after discussion. There's no room for amendments."

"How could you..." Erasmus was furious. "If this competition continues on like this, I'll quit being the judge."

Archibald Zhao remained unmoved and said coldly, "Old Master Sun, you are getting old. If you are not feeling too well, don't force it. Not just being a judge here, but also your role in the music school." Hearing this, many people on the scene were shocked and their expressions suddenly became a little subtle.

They could tell that Archibald Zhao was very aggressive and placed great importance to the score this time. He did not even hesitate to threaten a veteran like Erasmus Sun forthrightly.

Seeing this, the people who were going to speak out at this time shut their mouths inadvertently. After all, many of their works were related to Archibald's scope of influence. They were unlikely to offend officials like Archibald for just a score in such a competition.

The scene quieted down. Archibald's eyes turned cold, and then he waved his hand and said, "The score is set."

Hearing this, everyone was full of anger and disbelief, but there was nothing they could do. They could only glare at Archibald.

However, Archibald was not affected. At this time Haymitch Zhao added, "In addition to this lip-syncing incident, there were also other malignant events by Bay City University. Two days ago, I went to the place where Bay City University was rehearsing with my friends for inspection, but we were beaten up ruthlessly. As a result, eight of us were injured seriously. Some of us are still lying in the hospital right now. I hope that this matter will be investigated properly."

Archibald was surprised upon hearing this and he said, "Is there such a thing? Then we must investigate this carefully."

Haymitch said directly, "There's no need to investigate. I have the relevant evidence."

After that, Haymitch waved his hand, and then a video was played on the big screen. The video happened to be the scene when Fade Chen was beating up Haymitch and the others.

As soon as the video was played, it immediately caused a clamor. Everyone couldn't help but start pointing fingers and debating.

As for Fade, when he saw the video, his face darkened. Because he could see at a glance that the video was edited. The video cut off all the scenes when Haymitch and the others were teasing Yuri and the other girls, leaving only the fight scene.

In the eyes of those who didn't know the truth, it was Fade who beat Haymitch and the others.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion on the spot. Doubts towards Bay City University suddenly became louder.

Even the judges on the judges' seats couldn't help frowning at this moment.

Seeing this, Archibald announced, "Since the evidence is certain, please call the security guards to arrest the relevant individuals immediately. Then call the police and let the police deal with them. At the same time, cancel the competition result of Bay City University, and disqualify them from the competition for the next three years."

As soon as the punishment was announced, the scene was once again in an uproar.

Many students and teachers of the Bay City University were filled with righteous indignation. They stood up one after another in an attempt to explain.

"That wasn't the case. They were the ones who assaulted us first. We were just-"

"This video was edited and falsely presented. It is not the truth."

However, before they opened their mouths, a group of security guards suddenly rushed over and surrounded Fade Chen and the people from Bay City University.
