Chapter 967: Chapter 968: Cai Zhongnian Discovered Wu Wanying's Paper, Confidence (2)

**

In the mentor’s office, Professor Li was still uneasy. He dialed Wu Wanying’s number once more, and this time, it finally connected.

Wu Wanying had just finished surgery, feeling downcast. When Professor Li questioned her about plagiarism, her anger flared up.

She took a deep breath, her right hand trembling slightly. “No, Professor. My thesis has been through a plagiarism check. You know that, don’t you? How could I possibly plagiarize? Don’t you trust me?”

For months, she had been anxious, but after scouring scientific journals in various languages and finding no such paper, she gradually relaxed and claimed the formulas she had stumbled upon as her own.

She wrote them down first, so they were hers.

“I was just giving you a reminder,” Professor Li frowned. “Also, someone from the International Medical Organization will be present at your defense this time. You must prepare well.”

Wu Wanying was overjoyed. “Thank you, Professor. I will.”

The International Medical Organization!

Her future seemed boundless.

Thinking of this, the pain of losing her left hand seemed less bitter.

At that moment, a nurse knocked on the door. “Miss Wu, your professor and classmates are here to see you.”

“Miss Wu, so you were here,” Professor Xiang remarked in surprise. “Your hand…”

Seeing Wei Chengyun and the others standing there unharmed, Wu Wanying’s expression changed, her teeth chattering in disbelief. “You’re all okay?”

Si Fuqing looked up, her fox-like eyes narrowing slightly. “From what you’re saying, did you think something would happen to us? What exactly?”

Wu Wanying’s heart skipped a beat, chilled by Si Fuqing’s gaze. She blurted out, “You encountered so many sinister things, how could you be fine!”

Why was it that she lost her hand, yet they remained unscathed?

She couldn’t accept it!

Wei Chengyun’s eyes were cold. “Professor, I think we shouldn’t have come. She seems more upset seeing us unharmed.”

Professor Xiang’s expression turned indifferent. She had no real connection with Wu Wanying, only this collaboration.

She had never seen such a selfish person.

Such a person could never become a doctor.

“Wait! Si, Si Fuqing, how did your hand heal? Did you meet a miracle doctor?” Wu Wanying bit her lip, her voice dropping. “Could you, could you…”

Though her left hand had been removed, what if there was a miracle doctor who could restore it?

Qin Yusong was a prime example.

“Hello?” Si Fuqing ignored Wu Wanying and answered a call. “Oh, I got it. Yes, I remember.”

After hanging up on Cai Zhongnian, she turned back to Wu Wanying. “Good luck with your thesis defense.”

Wu Wanying was confused, not getting a chance to respond before they left.

She clenched her fingers, frowning.

Si Fuqing hadn’t even attended university; what did she know about graduate thesis defenses?

Such sarcasm.

Wu Wanying closed her eyes, already envisioning her bright future with the International Medical Organization.

The OPL championship and third-place matches would officially begin on May 10th.

The morning featured the third-place match between the Galaxy and Thunder.

In the afternoon, the ultimate showdown between Five States and West Deities .

The Great Xia Empire had performed exceptionally well this OPL season, exciting the players.

Si Fuqing was discussing tactics with Jiang Changfeng, Jing Zhou, and others.

Midway through, she picked up a cup of tea brought by a young team member. Just as she was about to drink, she paused.

She looked down at the teacup. The tea leaves settled at the bottom, the tea itself clear, with no visible abnormalities.

The young team member’s heart pounded when he saw her hesitate. “Miss Si?”

Si Fuqing finally looked up and acted.

“Bang!”

She threw the teacup at the young man’s face.

He yelped in pain, falling backward.

Jing Zhou was stunned. “What’s going on?”

Jiang Changfeng picked up a cup of tea, examining it for a few seconds before speaking slowly. “There’s a herb in here that can paralyze the human nervous system. The dose is small but potent. It’s not poison; the effect wears off after forty-eight hours.”

At this, Jing Zhou and the other team members’ expressions changed.

Their match was in eighteen hours.

If their nerves were paralyzed, how could they play?

“Who told you to do this?” Si Fuqing stared at the fallen young man. “West Deities team? No, despite their arrogance, they value esports spirit and would never do this.”

The young man hadn’t expected to be discovered. He clenched his hands, muttering, “Miss Si, don’t ask. You can’t afford to provoke them.”

“Did you think drugging us to impair our performance, then exposing the scandal to discredit West Deities, would result in the Thunder team winning?” Si Fuqing’s voice was calm. “A clever idea. Who instructed you?”

The young man trembled, lifting his head in surprise.

“Nice plan,” Si Fuqing smiled. “Now, tell me, who made you do this?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The young man bit his lip. “Miss Si, why bother? You’re already a celebrity with lots of money. You don’t need to win the OPL championship, but others do… Mr. Kreitch!”

The young man stood up abruptly, looking anxious.

He had joined the Five States team later and was excited about winning the championship.

But Kreitch, the executive director of Oracle, had approached him with irresistible benefits, leaving him no choice.

Si Fuqing was indeed Oracle’s spokesperson, but Kreitch was a high-ranking member who could replace her with a word.

He couldn’t afford to offend him.

Jing Zhou also knew Kreitch.

Oracle’s chief planner Ji Yun rarely appeared in public, leaving Kreitch as the face of the organization.

Kreitch wielded immense power, second only to Ji Yun.

“Miss Si, I admire your skills and your leadership of the Five States team to the finals,” Kreitch clapped. “But you should know that in the face of absolute power, your prowess is meaningless.”

Si Fuqing turned to him.

“I could easily disrupt your signals during the match, preventing you from executing team strategies,” Kreitch smiled faintly. “I have a hundred ways to make the Five States team lose and tarnish West Deities’ reputation as match-fixers.”

This OPL finals would be watched by people from the Free State.

He had groomed the Thunder team from scratch and intended to crown them champions to gain the favor of Free State dignitaries.

Unfortunately, the strength of the West Deities and Five States teams ruined his plans, leaving the Thunder team out of the finals.

So, he had to find another way.

Kreitch hadn’t anticipated being discovered before implementing his plan.

Regretfully, he realized he had to take more drastic measures.

Jing Zhou clenched his fists, head bowed, eyes reddening.

Without backing, they were powerless against authority.

“Is this your confidence?” Si Fuqing stood up. “To dare meet me alone, you’re quite bold.”

At these words, Kreitch’s smile faded, and his expression darkened. “Why wouldn’t I? What can you do to me?”

“Spokesperson? I can revoke your position with a word. What power do you have? It’s all given by Oracle!”

“You’re mistaken.” Si Fuqing stepped closer, her voice calm. “I don’t fear Ji Yun, so why would I fear you?”
