Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1981 - 493: A Star in Medicine, Beyond Question! (Part 2)

So, Lancelot saying that An Yiqing kidnapped Eva is not entirely impossible. However, these guests are all shrewd people; they’re naturally not going to offend the big figures of Xuanjin just because of Lancelot.

Besides, whether this allegation is true or not remains unknown!

Everyone else was rational, but Lancelot couldn’t keep his cool. Not just him, but other Sacred Temple Knights were also glaring at An Yiqing with anger, as if they wanted to tear her to pieces.

As a martial cultivator of Xuanjin, avoiding surveillance cameras is a basic skill. So, the Divine Institute Team knew that nothing could possibly be found in the hotel footage!

But the event organizer’s head didn’t know that, especially the judge representative, who was quite fond of An Yiqing, certainly wouldn’t let Lancelot accuse her lightly.

Thus, the staff were instructed to quickly bring over the surveillance tapes of the floor where An Yiqing was staying.

In front of the global audience, An Yiqing took the tape from the staff and played it on the big screen herself. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

To save time, An Yiqing asked the staff to edit the whole night’s surveillance footage into several short clips to display simultaneously on the big screen.

In this way, in less than half an hour, everyone had watched the entire night’s surveillance footage from yesterday.

The footage showed that at nine o’clock last night, An Yiqing returned to the room with Ye Chenghong. Immediately after, half an hour later, Yin Xilin opened the door and hopped over to Nie Yuan’s room across the way. Ten minutes later, she returned with two bags of snacks, looking delighted. After that, the room’s door remained shut, and An Yiqing stayed inside until she came out this morning. Not only the hotel’s interior surveillance but also the footage surrounding the hotel didn’t capture An Yiqing’s presence!

Lancelot said that Eva was with them until bedtime last night. This means that Eva was not missing before An Yiqing returned to her room!

Therefore, An Yiqing has a solid alibi; Eva’s disappearance has nothing to do with her! Not only her, but everyone from the Medicine Sect was in the surveillance footage. After returning to the room around nine o’clock, a group of people gathered in Nie Yuan’s room to play poker until after eleven when everyone went back to sleep. Since then, the corridor remained quiet, and no one came out again.

Of course, you could say that the people from the Medicine Sect are skilled enough to jump out the window. After all, it’s the second floor; jumping down wouldn’t kill them.

To prove the Medicine Sect’s innocence, the old professor also had the staff bring in surveillance footage capturing the outside of the second-floor windows. The footage showed that everyone from the Medicine Sect slept soundly until they came out this morning!

"Mr. Lancelot, do you have anything to say? The surveillance footage has proven everything. Shouldn’t you apologize to the Medicine Sect for your earlier statements?" The old professor looked coldly at Lancelot; he was very fond of An Yiqing and would not allow a man with zero gentlemanly manners to bully her.

"Apologize?" Lancelot’s eyebrows shot up like a lion on the verge of going mad, "An Yiqing has a hundred ways to abduct Eva! For instance—"

"For instance, hiring someone to kidnap her?" An Yiqing finished Lancelot’s sentence with a cold smile, "I have some connections in Xuandu City; finding someone to help me abduct Eva would be a piece of cake. Is that what you wanted to say, Mr. Lancelot?"

Lancelot didn’t refute, and his expression showed that’s exactly what he thought.

"If that’s what you insist on saying, then I have nothing more to say. Fine! Let’s assume I did abduct Eva for real; now tell me why I would do that? What did she do to offend me? You see, I had never met you before the competition, let alone had any grudges against Eva. Or do you think I’m jealous that she’s more beautiful than I am?"

The audience erupted in laughter. In such a situation, everyone wanted to stay serious, but An Yiqing’s words made it impossible to hold back.

Claiming Eva is more beautiful than An Yiqing is a joke in itself!

Sure, Eva is indeed beautiful, and anyone at first glance would find her stunning. But upon closer inspection, one would find that Eva’s arrogance and sharpness ruin the overall aesthetic, making her quite vulgar.

However, An Yiqing is different. At first sight, people think she is simply beautiful—radiantly so. But upon closer acquaintance, one finds that this clear beauty holds much more depth, such as warmth, grace, liveliness, and charm. Like a classic novel, An Yiqing is a masterpiece that people want to keep revisiting. Whereas Eva is like a tedious diary that becomes tiresome after just a few pages.
