Ji Qingming burst into laughter.

Sheng Yang’s personality could help her, but it could also ruin her.

“Sheng Yang, this is the university’s rule. For example, if I’m being slandered and you don’t hand over the evidence, how can the university come to a conclusion? Are they going to blindly listen to you alone?”

“Not me alone,” Sheng Yang said firmly.

Ji Qingming raised his eyebrows. Thinking that she was referring to Yuan Xinran, he became even more fearless.

Apart from being talented in her studies, Yuan Xinran did not have a good reputation in the university. Hence, her words were not convincing.

The moment Yuan Xinran saw Ji Qingming’s expression, she knew what the other party was up to. However, she couldn’t control her impulse!

Luckily, Sheng Yang was stronger than her. She pulled her back and threw her onto the sofa. With that, Yuan Xinran sobered up instantly and didn’t do anything irreversible.

However, Chancellor Liao and Zhao Caihua were a little confused as they stared at each other.

Ji Qingming smiled. Sheng Yang had always been conceited, but this time, her wish was probably going to fail…

Suddenly, the telephone in the office rang.

At this time? The chancellor found it unbelievable, but he didn’t pick up the call. However, the other party kept calling tirelessly. The chancellor could only lift the receiver up and put it down again. He had basically cut off the other party’s call.

However… the phone rang again.

Zhao Caihua gestured for Chancellor Liao to pick up the call first. It would be bad if the other party had something urgent to attend to.

Chancellor Liao had no choice but to answer the call. “Hello? Yes, I am. You are?” His expression gradually turned to one of confusion before shock. After that, he stared at Sheng Yang without moving his gaze.

Even though Sheng Yang had already let go of her, Yuan Xinran, who seemed to be trapped on the sofa, was confused. She looked at the principal and then at Sheng Yang. She was extremely curious. What happened?

Sheng Yang was always mysterious and managed to catch him off guard. He felt that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

The chancellor spoke for a long while before slowly putting down the phone. His expression was grave as he stared straight at Sheng Yang. Even though the emotions in his eyes weren’t clear, there was a hint of complaint.

Ji Qingming didn’t understand what was going on until the chancellor said, “We have a conclusion to this matter.”

“Huh?”

“The thesis was completed by Innovation Team A led by Sheng Yang,” Chancellor Liao said.

Ji Qingming was stunned. Although the such an incident had never happened before, it would take at least a few days for a matter like this to be investigated. But now, the chancellor had already announced it!

“I refuse to accept this!” Ji Qingming reacted, his eyes filled with anger. “Chancellor, what do you mean?”

“What else do you have to be unhappy about?” Chancellor Liao stood up. His anger was much greater than Ji Qingming’s. “You’ve already lost your reputation overseas!”

Ji Qingming was confused.

Chancellor Liao controlled his temper and tried hard to hold himself back. However, he could not help but grit his teeth and tremble. “The call just now came from BIO’s editor-in-chief, Austin.”

Ji Qingming was confused. He and Austin were just acquaintances. There was no way that Austin would make a call just for him.

He was aware of this. If that was the case, then…
