In the surveillance room, the video clearly displayed what had just happened in the training field.

It was undeniably Xia Xiaotong who had intentionally bumped into An Ziqi.

In the face of concrete evidence, Xia Xiaotong could no longer deny her actions.

The training instructor sternly announced, "Xia Xiaotong, your deliberate attempt to knock down An Ziqi was reprehensible. As a representative of the judging panel, I hereby disqualify you from the competition. Regarding the pernicious impact of this incident on the contest and the associated accountability, a lawyer will contact you shortly. Now, please leave the training field immediately."

Xia Xiaotong's legs went weak from fear. She belonged to an ordinary family and was financially incapable of assuming any form of responsibility leveled against her.

But if she were to expose Lin Kelan, it would put her parents' jobs at Changxing Group at risk, as they both were employees there.

Lin Kelan gnashed her teeth and glared at her in a threatening manner.

Xia Xiaotong shivered, quickly clamped her mouth shut, and walked out.

Watching the three figures retreating, the training instructor spoke up.

"An Ziqi, stay."

An Ziqi halted in her tracks, then respectfully addressed her mentor.

Upon Lin Kelan and Xia Xiaotong's exit, the training instructor let out a sigh.

"I apologize, but I can't penalize Lin Kelan impartially."

The specifics of Lin Kelan's background had been discreetly conveyed to her yesterday.

Lin Kelan had the backing of Changxing Group.

Even if Lin Kelan had manipulated the situation from behind the scenes, reporting it to the judging panel would not only let Lin Kelan off scot-free, but it could also offend the sponsor, possibly even backfiring and causing further trouble for An Ziqi.

"Teacher, I understand. Thank you," An Ziqi thanked her sincerely with a warm smile.

She was well aware of the unspoken rules at work behind the scenes.

Her only intention had been to teach Lin Kelan a lesson, she hadn't expected more than that. Having Xia Xiaotong expelled was an unexpected bonus.

"Regardless, Lin Kelan's influential status stands. For the sake of future competitions, it's best to keep your distance from her. I'll try my best to separate you two in the future," the training instructor said reluctantly.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, teacher."

Again extending her thanks, An Ziqi then made her exit.

Observing An Ziqi's receding figure, the training instructor shook her head. She had noticed An Ziqi earlier in the training field. While the others were constantly complaining and resting, she was the only one persisting in her training.

Not only was she beautiful with a good physique, but what was most commendable about her was her ability to endure hardship and have good character.

As an experienced instructor, she had a premonition that An Ziqi would have a promising future!

She could only hope that Lin Kelan wouldn't resort to any more underhanded tactics.

When An Ziqi returned to the training field, she ignored the various glances and discussions of others. In a corner, she found the girl who had spoken up for her earlier.

Going up to her excitedly, she asked, "Are you Tianxing?"

Tianxing was somewhat surprised and asked, "You know me?"

"Of course, I love your songs, especially 'Summer', it's still my ringtone," shared An Ziqi excitedly.

Tianxing was once part of a popular girl group a few years ago.

For some reason, the group disbanded. The other members gradually shifted their focus to the film and television industry and achieved considerable success in recent years. However, Tianxing disappeared from the entertainment industry.

An Ziqi had found her face familiar from the first moment she laid her eyes on her, but she didn't have the opportunity to confirm her hunch. Who knew it was indeed her!

"That's all in the past." Tianxing remarked nonchalantly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
