Chapter 436 - Results

He stood at the staircase and silently stared at Xue Xi.

The girl’s skinny body was standing straight like a pine tree and was like a javelin. She seemed to be unafraid of any huge waves!

This was how a human should live.

Li Chun gulped. At this moment, the girl seemed to have sensed something and looked up. The little courage that Li Chun had just mustered instantly disappeared. He was so frightened that he hid in the corridor.

The moment he dodged, his heart began beating wildly.

He could not help but slap himself. What was he thinking just now? He’d almost walked over.

I can’t go over... Mr. Guo has already agreed to pass my thesis. If I go over and talk now, even if I work hard, Mr. Guo won’t let me off!

However, he could not bear to just leave.

He really wanted to help Xue Xi and did not want this reckless and glamorous junior to really be targeted.

But... what could he help her with?

Li Chun mocked himself. See, you’re a coward, a coward forever.

...

The moment Xue Xi looked up, she saw a figure flash by.

It was Li Chun.

She did not speak, nor did she go over to call him. Instead, she stood quietly on the spot. After a while, when the student who had just been questioned left the room, an investigator walked out. He looked at the people outside and frowned. “Is there no one who wants to react?”

One sentence was enough to prove that the people who had just been interviewed all had only good words to say.

Xue Xi frowned.

She looked at the students who were doing experiments with Mr. Guo, including the senior who had made things difficult for them... It was definitely not the first time that Mr. Guo had squeezed the students dry and did not give them any allowance. But why did these people not speak the truth?!

She clenched her jaw and said, “I do.”

The investigator looked at Xue Xi and said, “Follow me in.”

Xue Xi nodded. Before she could enter, she was stopped by a student. “Teacher, this is the student who reported Mr. Guo. You can’t listen to her!”

“That’s right. Since she reported Mr. Guo, she will definitely say that Mr. Guo is bad. You should listen to the public! Our opinions have the most weight!”

When the investigator heard this, he turned to look at Xue Xi. “Are you the informant?”

Xue Xi nodded. “Yes.”

The investigator asked further, “Then do you have evidence?”

Xue Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the staircase again. She saw another small head shrink back. It was obvious that Li Chun had not made up his mind.

She sighed. “I did, but it’s gone now.”

The investigator was stunned. “Ah, oh, alright. Then should our investigation team withdraw?”

Since the whistle-blower had said that there was no evidence, what was there to investigate?

Xue Xi clenched her jaw.

She did not expect that there’d be no evidence against Mr. Guo at all.

Before she could say anything, someone said, “Professor, I think you should punish Xue Xi and put this on her record!”

“That’s right, Professor. If the students have a problem with a teacher and don’t get along with him or her, can they just report the teacher as they please? How can the teachers teach others, then?”

“This is the same as going to the hospital to extort money. Such a person must be severely punished! Otherwise, everyone might follow her example. It’s too unfair to the teachers at Huaxia University!”

Xue Xi frowned.

Xie Yingying, who had arrived late, said, “How can you guys do this? Sister Xi spoke up for your own good. Do you think Sister Xi was afraid of Mr. Guo’s oppression? Who was the one who was forced to not sleep the whole night? In the end, you guys are playing the blame game?”

The two boys said angrily, “This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Guo. It was Senior who made a mistake! Moreover, isn’t that because Xue Xi told Mr. Guo that the calculations are too simple?!”

Another boy added, “Professor, Xue Xi knows Director Feng. Don’t tell me you don’t dare to punish her because of him?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The investigation team was slightly stunned. He saw that someone had already picked up his phone and started recording. He said, “How can that be? Huaxia University never hides anything! That student over there, put down your phone and don’t record anything!”

The person who’d raised his phone hurriedly put it down.

The people in the investigation team sighed and said earnestly, “There is a system in the school that allows everyone to make a report. Xue Xi is also an anonymous person. If we punish her, who will dare to report anyone who’s done wrong in the future? Hence, we can’t punish Xue Xi.”

“But it’s different this time!” someone said aggressively. “The atmosphere in our laboratory was very good, but ever since she came, it’s been a mess. In ancient times, when students sued their teachers, they first had to be beaten by thirty boards. Why is it that now, everyone doesn’t respect their teachers anymore?!”

The investigation team: “?”

The two boys who had entered the laboratory with Xue Xi were currently the most vocal. Because Mr. Guo was too pitiful, he’d especially called the two of them over and told them some sweet words.

This made them even more certain that Xue Xi had reported him because she did not get along with Mr. Guo.

Both boys were in the prime of their lives and had their own brand of perseverance. In their world, teachers were good. Whenever the word teacher was mentioned, it gave off the feeling that such people were cultured and refined.

Xue Xi, the villain, should be punished and exposed to the school.

Otherwise, there would be many people like Mr. Guo who would be wronged in the future.

Moreover, Mr. Guo had said that he felt that he should not vent his anger on them because of Xue Xi, so he intended to let the two of them return to the laboratory.

Mr. Guo gave them a second chance, making them feel that their teacher was too kind-hearted and that they had to seek justice for him.

The two of them looked at each other and said, “Moreover, professors, other informants are all anonymous and we won’t be able to find out who they are. However, Xue Xi’s matter has already been made public. Are you really not going to deal with such a crooked character?!”

They pointed at the person behind them and said, “Mr. Investigator, as the saying goes, the law doesn’t rely on favors. If you’re in a difficult position, why don’t we raise our hands and vote? Those who agree to punish Xue Xi, raise your hands!”

The two of them raised their hands.

They looked behind them at the people who had worked in Mr. Guo’s laboratory. They looked at each other and bit their lips.

In the end, the senior who’d had an argument with Xue Xi gritted her teeth and raised her hand. The moment she raised her hand, the rest also raised their hands.

However, some of them did not dare to look at Xue Xi.

Xue Xi narrowed her eyes and remembered those who did not dare to look at her. She then heard the boy say, “Those who don’t agree to punish Xue Xi, raise your hands!”

Xie Yingying raised her hand.

She glared at Zhang Hao again, but he still lowered his head and remained silent.

The boy snorted and said, “Mr. Investigator, as you can see, apart from Xie Yingying who’s Xue Xi’s friend, there’s almost no one who supports her! This means that the school must respect most people’s opinions!”

The moment he said this, Xie Yingying said, “What do you mean there’s no one else other than me? Isn’t that over there a person?”

Following Xie Yingying’s direction, everyone turned to look at the corner of the staircase. There was a hand raised there.

Then, Li Chun slowly walked out.
