"With...withdrew?"
Commentator Fengye could hardly believe his ears. He glanced at Zhu Ye beside him and, seeing the same shocked expression, he was finally sure he hadn't misheard.
It took Fengye several seconds of being stunned before he reacted and explained into the microphone,
"Gan...Gan Yanyu has...chosen to withdraw from the competition!"
At this moment,
the entire audience was in an uproar.
Many members of the audience stood up, completely bewildered:
"What kind of joke is this?! It's over before it even started?!"
"Why give up here?!"
"No, I was waiting to hear you perform 'Ode to Love'!"
"What's going on?!"
...
"Incomprehensible, incomprehensible!!"
In the office, Yao Han, upon hearing this, completely lost control and kicked the floor-to-ceiling window several times,
"Are they crazy? Why give up? Why give up here?!"
Yao Han punched the wall, shouting,
"They clearly had a chance to win the championship, such a big chance!!"
