Chapter 493: Slapped in the Face (2)
Several professors rushed to pick up the papers on the table. They began to read over them.
After they finished reading, they were in complete shock.
The research and the report had started around two months ago. Back then, Jian Yiling had already sent her report to Elder Yun.
In fact, the report in front of them covered the research topic in way more depth and scope.
Compared to the report that they were reading right now, Lu Yuan’s report was only the tip of the iceberg!
There was irrefutable evidence in front of them! Jian Yiling had been wrongly accused!
The one who stole the research was someone else!
Professor Huang was even more dumbfounded.
Jian Yiling did this?!
How was this possible?
She was just a student!
Elder Yun picked up the paper and said: “I took part in the paper as well! So, the man with the surname Huang, are you going to say that I stole your student’s research results as well?!”
Elder Yun’s words shocked Professor Huang.
Things had developed in a way that he never would have expected them to.
“Elder… Elder Yun… How could… You and Jian Yiling… How…”
Professor Huang started as he stammered. He found it difficult to accept such a fact.
No one would have ever guessed that the two people would be in touch.
No matter how outstanding Jian Yiling was, at the end of the day, she was just a student!
On the other hand, Elder Yun was an incredibly reputable individual in the industry!
In the eyes of Professor Huang, it seemed as though there was a distance of a hundred thousand miles between them.
And the two of them were doing research together?
How was that even possible?
Elder Yun lashed out against Professor Huang: “How is it not possible? Stop thinking that something is impossible whenever you come across something you haven’t seen! You have to use your eyes to look at things! Stop guessing and imagining things! You can’t use corroboration to accuse someone! Not coming to cla.s.s doesn’t mean that she’s not taking her work seriously!”
In Professor Huang’s eyes, he had only seen Jian Yiling show up at the laboratory for three days a week.
He didn’t know what Jian Yiling was up to on the other days.
However, in those days, she was doing her work as well!
In fact, she was doing her work in a laboratory with better equipment!
A university laboratory did not have all the equipment that she needed!
Professor Huang’s face went pale. He couldn’t utter a single word of reb.u.t.tal.
The other professors also looked dumbfounded.
“So, who is Lu Yuan?” Elder Yun asked.
All the students looked in Lu Yuan’s direction with caution.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was hanging her head extremely low. She hated the fact that she couldn’t find a hole to bury herself into.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on her.
Then, she panicked.
Her body couldn’t help but tremble and her hands were covered in sweat.
“I… I didn’t mean to….” Lu Yuan finally stammered out. She could no longer handle the pressure. As a result, she opened her mouth in an attempt to defend herself.
Before Elder Yun’s arrival, Lu Yuan already felt that there was something wrong. The moment the other professors came into the laboratory, she realized that today’s matters would not be settled in a pleasant manner.
However, by saying ‘I didn’t mean to’, Lu Yuan had already admitted to her crimes.
Lu Yuan began to cry as she said: “I really didn’t mean to do it… I never imagined for things to turn out like this… I didn’t want to hurt anyone… I was… I was just lost… I don’t know why I was hot-headed at that time… I just… Ahhh… I know I’m wrong… I really know that I did the wrong thing…”
As Lu Yuan admitted her mistake, Professor Huang felt that he had been slapped in the face. It was a loud and painful slap.
Professor Huang glared at his student. At that moment, he had the heart to strangle Lu Yuan to death!
Lu Yuan was his student. Her mistakes were tantamount to slapping him in the face.
