Chapter 520: Chapter 520: I Announce Qiao Xi’s Withdrawal from the Competition

"Qiao Xi, get out of the way!"

Sun Weimeng was leaning over the railing, shouting hoarsely, and two men in the VIP seats on the sidelines stood up simultaneously.

Right behind Qiao Xi was Li Songwen brewing medicine.

To facilitate filming, the space inside the venue was quite narrow, only about one meter wide.

Li Songwen, with a plaster on his right wrist, was holding a steaming small enamel pot as he walked past Qiao Xi, and pretended to stumble. He hurled himself towards Qiao Xi and the little girl Niannian.

The scalding brown medicinal decoction splashed out, still bubbling up.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Niannian’s mother screamed. Such hot decoction landing on her daughter would be unbearably painful!

Moreover, it’s easy for a girl to scar!

Without thinking, Qiao Xi instantly bent down to protect the seven or eight-year-old child. The brown medicinal soup landed on her right forearm, instantly causing swelling and blistering.

She clenched her teeth, tears involuntarily spilling from her eyes.

It hurt so much!

For a moment, she felt her right arm had lost all sensation, it took her a while to feel the bone-deep pain seeping gradually into her marrow, even her heart ached with the sting.

The little girl was terrified and crying non-stop.

Li Songwen still pretended to be innocent: "I’m really sorry, my right hand is injured and I couldn’t hold steady. Are you okay?"

He clearly did it on purpose, yet his act of malevolence was so convincing as if he had taken lessons from an acting master, making it really hard to fault him.

Feigning concern, Li Songwen asked, "Can you still perform acupuncture with your hand? The child is crying so much, can you still continue the treatment?"

His tone even carried a faint hint of triumph.

His right hand had already been difficult to use for acupuncture, so he took one million from Xiang Mingzhu, promising to eliminate Qiao Xi in the second round!

Why not make such a deal?

Moreover, Li Songwen had feelings for Xiang Mingzhu.

Qiao Xi coldly glanced at him, enduring the pain she first soothed the child: "Niannian don’t cry, it’s okay. Let sister check if you got burned..."

She reached out with her left hand to check the little girl’s skin, but was forcefully pushed away.

Qiao Xi almost fell to the ground.

It turned out to be the girl’s mother who had run over, holding her child and crying, "Niannian, are you okay? Let mommy check! Are you burned? We are not participating anymore, we’re going home!"

Niannian was crying breathlessly, unable to speak.

Like an enraged lioness, Niannian’s mother turned around and scolded loudly, "How can you be so careless? My child came here for treatment, not to suffer! Splashing such hot Chinese medicine on her could have killed her!"

She slapped Li Songwen on his handsome face.

Li Songwen covered his face, somewhat in disbelief.

"I’m terribly sorry! Madam, please calm down, it’s fortunate that the child isn’t injured."

Lu Bannong timely intervened to smooth things over, showing great concern by the side of the child’s mother and then reprimanded Li Songwen.

"You are too careless, how can you hurt someone like that."

"I’m sorry, President Lu. It’s my fault for hurting my right tendon before the competition, which made me unable to hold the medicine pot firmly."

Lu Bannong sighed, frowning as he said troubledly, "What should we do now? Although it was unintentional, injuring someone still violates the rules of the competition, consider it as elimination and wait for the next term. As for Qiao Xi..."

He slowly turned his gaze to Qiao Xi, who was being treated for burns, and said, "Fate is not as one desires, you’re too injured to continue the competition. Maybe you should withdraw..."

Qiao Xi’s eyes were defiant: "I will not withdraw!"

She had seen through their conspiracy, finding a way to make Li Songwen and her perish together. For the Lu Family, this wasn’t a significant loss.

But the cost she had to pay was too catastrophic.

Despite her vigilance, she still couldn’t guard against it, who during medical treatment could spare attention to observe their surroundings?

Under everyone’s eyes, Li Songwen was destined to have mutual destruction with her.

Lu Bannong kindly reminded, "I can understand why you don’t want to withdraw from the competition, but you can’t selfishly only consider yourself. The child has already been frightened, it’s not suitable to continue the treatment. Moreover, your injuries are so severe, how can you perform acupuncture?"

Qiao Xi looked at the mother and daughter huddled together in pain, her lips tightly pursed.

"Let’s go home, Niannian."

Niannian’s mother picked her up.

She really regretted bringing her child to sign up for this kind of volunteer activity. She thought she could see some free good Chinese medicine doctors, to cure her daughter’s illness.

But she didn’t expect to frighten the child instead.

Niannian’s mother was full of resentment and regret, too indifferent to bother with Qiao Xi.

She coaxed the child and walked towards the edge of the field.

The bystanders discussed incessantly.

Xiang Mingzhu’s lips curled up with a secret smile, continuing to provide acupuncture to the patients. Lu Yingxue lowered her eyes, her face remained undisturbed, the biggest competitor had already been taken care of.

"It’s over!"

Sun Weimeng spread his hands, completely ruined!

They could control external factors, but couldn’t interfere with the competition.

Unpreventable!

Today without Li Songwen, there might also be Zhao Songwen, Qian Songwen... who could intervene in the matters inside the arena! After all, the Lu Family has a semi-dominant position in the Chinese Medicine Community!

"What about Huo Xingzhou? The child’s mother took the child and left, there are no volunteer patients anymore, how can Qiao Xi continue the competition? Moreover, her hands are already severely burned, can she still treat people?"

Sun Weimeng was so anxious he was almost crying.

Huo Xingzhou’s gaze was extremely cold, an unwelcoming chill lingered around him.

He signaled Old Chen with his eyes, and Old Chen immediately left upon receiving the instructions.

An annoying voice came from behind, "Looks like you’re going to lose the bet too."

Xiang Ze was dressed formally, his ordinary face filled with a smile, "Don’t leave after it ends, I have contacted all the major media to come and capture the big news. After this, there will be no Qiao Xi in the Chinese Medicine Community ever again."

This was his first appearance after the Guan family’s birthday banquet.

Sun Weimeng and Qiao Xi had set him up that time, he remembered it for a lifetime!

It was deliberate online to provoke Sun Weimeng into making the bet, just wanting to take revenge.

Sun Weimeng clenched his molars, gritting them.

He couldn’t utter any tough words to retort, the atmosphere inside the field was clearly more agitated. They were all probably looking forward to today’s outcome for the National Doctor’s apprentice Qiao Xi...

Sun Weimeng’s eyes were red as he stared at the close-up shot of Qiao Xi on the big screen.

They couldn’t enter the competition field now, they could only watch from afar.

Powerless!

Some paths, she had to walk on her own.

And Qiao Xi’s lips were tightly pursed, her gaze fell on the mother and daughter.

Lu Bannong still kindly advised by the side, "What’s done is done, continuing to be stubborn here is useless. The patients have already left, your competition has already ended."

The game was lost!

"I will announce to everyone right now that you and Li Songwen are withdrawing from the competition."

A big stone in Lu Bannong’s heart finally fell, he even found it a bit humorous. The apprentice of National Doctor Cheng Han, not Cheng Han himself.

He wondered why he was so alarmed at the beginning.

Now it seems, it was nothing much.
