The color drained from Rong Feiyuâs face, and she exclaimed sharply, âWhy? Mr. Ye, what did I do wrong? It was clearly my sisterâ¦â
âWas it me? Rong Feiyu, think carefully before you speak,â said Rong Qi as she looked at her, a teasing smile on her lips.
Rong Feiyu glared at Rong Qi resentfully and said, âQi, I was just a witness. I merely spoke the truth about what 1 saw.â
âThe truth? How about the incident where your classmates ganged up to bully Lu Qi? Why didnât you mention that?â
âI didâ¦â
âRight? Let me guess how you said it. Was it something like: Lu Qi had a fiery temper and clashed with Zheng Zhixuan, leading to a misunderstanding? You downplayed a big issue, hoping to cover it up?â
âIâ¦â Rong Feiyu was left speechless by Rong Qiâs retort because thatâs exactly what she had said.
Lu Qi took a step forward, pointing at the injuries on her face, and said mockingly, âVice Principal Qiu, how come you didnât feel sorry for me when a whole group from their class attacked me alone? My injuries are real and so many people saw them! Iâm also your student. You canât be biased!â
Qiu Yonggen had grown extremely fed up with Class 7 by now. Hearing Lu Qiâs words, he responded impatiently, âWho saw it? The witnesses who came forward all said you were the ones bullying others. The surveillance footage in your classroom happened to be damaged. Can we trust what youâre saying based on just your words? Unless some students from your class can testify for you, no one will believe it.â
âYouâre clearly biased!â Lu Qi exclaimed. She was so angry her chest hurt.
Tang Lin also sneered, âOf course, your words alone are not reliable. The facts are as they are now. Principal Qiu, Mr. Ye, the students from Class 1 arenât at fault. They were only trying to defend their classmates. Are you really going to be criticized because of this incident?â
It was a threat to use Ye Nanshenâs reputation.
Rong Qiâs eyes were slightly chilled. She had intended to end this, to let them go. But now, it seemed some people wouldnât learn unless they were taught a lesson. She thought, âThey could defame me, but they couldnât touch Ye Nanshen.â
Rong Qi turned her head and gave a wry smile. She said, âYou want evidence, right? The classroom surveillance is damaged, but the corridor surveillance is still intact. Do you want to see that? How was Lu Qi dragged into your class? Or maybe, if Mr. Tang feels this is unjust, you could bring in a few journalists to report on it, and let netizens decide?â
Rong Qi lowered her gaze, her voice continuing, âSomeone who stole someone elseâs work and claimed it as their own has no credibility. Also, if Iâm not mistaken, the cheating incident during the entrance test for freshmen, neither Vice Principal Qiu nor Mr. Han has identified the person behind it yet, right? Maybe you should look into it again? If you canât find them, I donât mind having Class 7 help. Or, I believe Ding Ding from BAE could find them too. While weâre at it, we could restore Capital Universityâs reputation and expose the person behind the cheating.â
Rong Qi took a step forward, looking at the stubborn Tang Lin, and said coldly, âIf you really want to report this, do you believe Capital Universityâs reputation will be ruined by your own hands? From the very beginning, you listened to one side and didnât investigate the truth, whichâs injustice; you intensified the conflict between the classes and judged right and wrong based on grades, whichâs bias; you let a habitual liar testify, thatâs foolishness; you only dealt with Class 7 and kept Class 1, thatâs acting in cahoots with the tiger, itâs unkind and unjust, aiding and abetting wrongdoing! So, are you going to make a big fuss about this? Do you dare? Expelling a few scum from Class 1 is a small matter, but destroying Capital Universityâs century-old reputation is a big deal! Do you think good grades make you invincible? Do you think you can walk arrogantly just because of your grades?â
