Shocking! The nation is giving her strong support to become a top crossover influencer.

Chapter 137 Resurrection

Then, gasps of surprise erupted from the audience as the truth came flooding in, leaving no one nowhere to hide.

Tang Xuanjiao's face turned pale instantly. She stared blankly at the big screen, unable to believe that her actions had been so clearly displayed in front of everyone.

Tian Qiushui clenched her fists tightly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She knew that the truth had finally come to light.

Faced with the clearly visible evidence on the screen, Tang Xuanjiao's face turned deathly pale, her lips pressed tightly together, and a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

But she quickly regained her composure and began to weave her own excuses.

She gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, her eyes darting among the crowd as if searching for a trustworthy ally. Her voice trembled slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm as she said, "Everyone, please listen to me. This is just a misunderstanding, really."

"Who can prove that I did it? Just a blurry surveillance video? That's ridiculous."

"In this era of editing skills, anything can be faked."

She paused deliberately, glancing at the reactions of those around her out of the corner of her eye. Seeing some people looking doubtful, she became even more convinced that her strategy was effective.

So she continued, "I know that some people may be jealous of my recent success, but that is not a reason for you to arbitrarily frame me."

"I am a person of principle, and I would never do such a thing."

Her hands unconsciously clasped together, her knuckles turning slightly white from tension, but she still tried her best to remain calm.

Whenever someone tries to refute her, she quickly interrupts, using an even more impassioned tone to instill her own sophistry, as if this would cover up the truth.

"and……"

She deliberately drew out her words, trying to attract more attention.

"Don't forget, as an established celebrity, why would I frame an ordinary person? It wouldn't benefit me at all! I have absolutely no motive!"

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then turned to Xia He, pretending to be calm, and said, "Director Xia, this video has definitely been tampered with. You can't just conclude that I pushed her based on this alone!"

Xia He frowned. He knew in his heart that Tang Xuanjiao's explanation was completely untenable.

But just to be on the safe side, he decided to give Tang Xuanjiao another chance, so he asked, "Can you explain what happened in the video?"

Tang Xuanjiao gritted her teeth and continued to argue, "I just accidentally took a step back. That amateur lost her balance and fell down."

"This was an accident, you can't put all the blame on me!"

At this moment, the program crew had already handed over the video evidence to director Xia He. Xia He was even more furious as he looked at Tang Xuanjiao's attitude of denying everything.

He realized that if no immediate action was taken, the program could be further affected.

So Xia He decisively said to the staff around him, "Let's call the police and let them handle this."

Shortly afterward, the police arrived at the scene and questioned Tang Xuanjiao.

Even when confronted by the police, Tang Xuanjiao still refused to admit what she had done.

After investigating the scene and relevant evidence, the police decided to take Tang Xuanjiao away for further investigation.

When Tang Xuanjiao was taken away, her face was full of resentment. She never imagined that her momentary impulse would bring such serious consequences.

After Tang Xuanjiao was taken away, Qi Shao announced: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we just suspended the program for a while, but now we are continuing the recording."

"Distinguished mentors and audience members, please cast your votes for the group you believe performed better."

The rest of the program will be recorded as scheduled, and the mentors and the audience overwhelmingly voted for Jiang Songchu's group.

Clearly, Tang Xuanjiao's behavior has severely damaged her image and reputation, causing people to lose their goodwill towards her.

Jiang Songchu's group, with their outstanding performance and the support of everyone, undoubtedly won the competition.

The atmosphere at the show gradually returned to calm, and Tang Xuanjiao's incident began to spread online. However, the staff and contestants at the recording site had already refocused their attention on the competition.

Qi Shao walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, as if the commotion just now had never happened.

He cleared his throat and began announcing the list of winners.

"After fierce competition, congratulations to the following thirty contestants for successfully advancing!"

Qi Shao’s voice was loud and passionate as he read out the contestants’ names one by one.

Everyone noticed that Jin Yue, who fell off the stage, was the one who advanced from Tang Xuanjiao's group, but no one knew if she could participate in the third round of the competition.

When the news was announced that all members of Jiang Songchu's team had advanced, they excitedly hugged each other, their faces beaming with joy.

The audience cheered for them, with applause and cheers rising and falling.

Next, Qi Shao began to introduce the rules of the third round of the program: "The third round is also a team competition, but this time we will form a group of four, with a total of eight groups and thirty-two participants."

He deliberately drew out his words, adding a touch of mystery.

"However, as you may have noticed, we currently only have thirty players. So how will the two vacancies be filled?"

The answer is—resurrection!

"We will revive two contestants from those eliminated in the first two rounds to continue participating in the show. These two contestants will be decided by online viewers' votes."

The scene immediately erupted in excitement, with contestants and spectators alike discussing the rule.

Qi Shao nodded in satisfaction and continued, "This round of the competition will eliminate twenty people, based on a combination of mentor scores and audience votes. The group assignments will be randomly generated by the system. Please look at the big screen!"

As Qi Shao finished speaking, the large screen above the stage lit up, and the names of the thirty contestants scrolled rapidly on the screen, eventually settling on eight different groups.

Two of the groups have vacant positions, clearly waiting for revived players to join.

Qi Shao continued, "The voting for these two resurrected contestants will close at noon tomorrow. Please cheer for your favorite contestant!"

"The theme for this dance will be announced simultaneously at noon tomorrow! Please get ready for a new challenge!"

"That concludes today's program! Let's thank our brand partners for their generous support..."

As Qi Shao announced the end of the session, enthusiastic applause erupted in the audience.

As the stage lights gradually dimmed, the contestants and audience members left the recording venue.
