Zenna said, "There were four girls, who had conspired together against many participants who were better dancers compared to them. They bullied them as a gang, causing them to be emotionally unstable, which in result forced them to back down. And those who were not afraid of them and challenged them back had their shoes broken and made them disqualified. I'm also one of their victims which led to today's situation. Last week, they did the same to someone named Luo Han."
The judges seemed surprised. "Oh... you are talking about Luo Han! Who is practicing belly dance? Wasn't it just an accident...?!!"
Zenna shook her head, "No, it wasn't. And I'm very upset about it. Because truthfully, she wouldn't be targeted if she hadn't saved me from the bullies in the first place. I'm able to progress until this stage only because she helped me strengthen emotionally. Thanks to Luo, I'm here now. I owe her big time."
The judges became furious, "That's a very serious accusation, young lady. Do you have any proof that you two were bullied? If you can give us some solid proof, we will disqualify them immediately and bring Han Luo back. As for Other participants who were emotionally weak, we cannot do anything about it, because it was their choice to back down. If they are readily backing down from every small threat, then they won't be able to achieve success in the future."
Not only the judges but also the audiences are in agreement with this new scenario.
"I have plenty of proof. I am not the only one, who is aware of those four, bullying participants." As Zenna finished declaring, Jared and Mo Yuan came on to the stage.
Jared said, "I was there when Zenna was being bullied. Luo and I were the ones that found out about it and Luo is the one who helped Zenna. The day Zenna, Yuan and I helped Luo to pack her bags we saw her shoes that she wore for the last performance. The heels were broken by someone deliberately... Luo stayed quiet about it, I don't know why, but we couldn't stay silent about it. So, we made a plan and planted a secret camera. Today, before Zenna went to her room to get dressed, one of those participants went to her room and broke one of her heels. She didn't know that her every move was being recorded. Zenna knew this beforehand, but she still wore the shoes. Because of her bravery, we were able to accomplish it."
"You're talking about the footage. Do you have the recordings with you?"
"We do." Mo Yuan took out the CD and gave it to the staff.
When he played it, everyone saw a girl secretly entering into Zenna's room and opened her locker on the background screen. She took one of Zenna's shoes that she was currently wearing and took out an army knife. And what happened next, was anyone could tell without even watching. Everyone gaped at the screen as the story unfolded.
The judges and audiences recognized the girl at a single glance. She performed before Zenna. The participants were sitting in a room. The girls' faces paled, they stayed quiet while others gave them a look. They also knew their wrongdoings but never pointed them out.
The girl who tampered with the shoe stood up from her chair and walked out hurriedly. When she opened the door, she saw two guards were standing outside. One of them coldly said, "Miss, you cannot go out of the room. Please go inside until the judges give us a decision."
The girl flinched and stammered, "W-who are you? I want to go out to have some fresh air. Let me out."
The guards didn't reply and stood in front of the door without moving an inch. They wouldn't let her pass no matter how many times she screamed or made a fuss.
On the stage, Zenna said, "They are also dancers. They know what will happen if a dancer's legs were injured. However, they mercilessly schemed against us, just to be on the top. Their shameless act is unforgivable. My only regret is that I don't have a record of the incident when they broke Luo's shoes."
One of the judges asked, "Do you remember their faces and names?"
"I can never forget their names and faces..." Then Zenna disclosed the names of those girls one by one.
"Bring those girls on to the stage," A judge ordered with a solemn expression.
The guards, guarding the room of the participants, asked those four girls to come out of the room. When they didn't want to, the guards simply picked them up and brought them to the stage.
The girls tried to defend themselves, "That's a lie. We never did such a shameful thing."
"So you know that it's a shameful act." Jared glared at them.
The leader of the gang came forward. "Hey, you! Who do you think you are to falsely accuse us? What did we ever do? We are innocent. Do you have any proof that we bullied anyone?"
Jared clenched his teeth. "Isn't having footage of your friend breaking Zenna's shoe, enough?"
"Please don't mind her immature action. She did it to have fun with Zenna. They are close friends after all." The girl smirked.
"And who will buy your stupid reason? Don't think that everyone else fed their brains to dogs." Jared said.
"Do you have any proof other than that?" The girl spoke haughtily. She knew that with the recording they provided, they could only get rid of one of her friends who broke Zenna's shoes.
"I managed to acquire a video clip of last week's incident." Mo Yuan calmly declared. He gave the staff another recording and it showed that the Leader of the gang had deliberately broken Han Luo's heels. Also, there were several footage which showed that they have been ganging up together to bully other participants.. Everyone also saw how Han Luo saved Zenna from them.
