Chapter 412 - That Is Some Solid Evidence

Later, the IP address where the post had been made was uploaded, followed by the address of the net café from which it had been sent, along with footage of the culprit entering the premises. Mu Qiqi even affectionally released a high definition image of the girl, as well as her association with the faculty forensic science—with all the references available, everyone got the idea.

More ridiculously, footage of the girl at the net café was magnified. Even though her body had blocked out some of the contents, her handle name was indeed the one that posted the shaming posts of the lecturer.

The truth was suddenly out in the open!

“Screw me. That is some solid evidence—to think that Mu Qiqi actually found it.”

“So she really was set up.”

“That’s some amazing moves. Perfect score to Mu Qiqi’s retaliation.”

The students enjoying the drama all saw Mu Qiqi’s evidence with their own eyes and were fully satisfied, since it was a perfect fit for the mentality of bystanders.

In fact, they did not expect that Mu Qiqi would not care at all for the good name of the culprit and uploaded her photo and name onto the web, enlarged—it would be difficult for people to not notice that at all.

Feng Shanshan and her clique’s faces fell when they saw the post. In fact, the culprit promptly covered her face and left the campus canteen to return to her hostel.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It turned out that what Mu Qiqi said yesterday about the north and south of the city was real. She had already gotten hold of the evidence but simply did not release it immediately, because she was waiting for them to let down their guard.

The girls’ felt a chill in their spines at that thought.

Now that the matter was exposed, how was the culprit going to stay in school? How?

The lecturer who saw what happened appeared embarrassed as well. She really saw red and believed that Mu Qiqi had been the one behind the shaming post, and even called up the professor of the forensics lab.

The awkwardness she felt was overflowing and irrepressible.

“How could this be? How am I supposed to face her now?”

In the afternoon, Mu Qiqi came to class as usual, although the girl who uploaded the shaming post did not show up.

At the same time, the lecturer felt even more awkward, and she knew very well why.

She was keen on finding a chance to apologize to Mu Qiqi, but Mu Qiqi acted as if she didn’t exist.

After class, Mu Qiqi was about to head to the forensics lab when Feng Shanshan and her clique stopped her.

“You’re quite the cunning bitch, Mu Qiqi. Why not show your evidence when you already had it, and wait for three days? Hyping the crowd?”

Mu Qiqi looked at the two girls up front and Feng Shanshan behind, before showing a smile. “I will release it anytime I want. What? You want to order me around?”

“Don’t get full of yourself… We’ll see.”

The trio was about to leave after having their say, but Mu Qiqi called out, stopping them. “I’ve seen the wording on the post and the culprit’s, and I don’t think she wrote it alone. There’s space for some careful observation, what do you three think?”

Feeling guilty, the other two girls quickly left, just as the lecturer came to Mu Qiqi and told her, “I’m sorry, Qiqi. I was wrong about you.”

“It’s fine, since the professor never believed that rubbish.” Mu Qiqi answered with irony.

And just as she expected, the lecturer’s expression turned dark.

“Now that the truth is out… what do you intend for that classmate of yours?”

“That is a matter the university should decide since I don’t have such grand authority. See you, Miss, I still have to head for the forensics lab.

“What a tough nut to crack.”

After all, the lecturer never imagined that Mu Qiqi’s temper could be so unyielding.

Meanwhile, Feng Shanshan’s clique quickly consoled the girl who was strung up to dry when they returned to the hostel. “It’s fine, it’s nothing so serious. I’ll have my father talk to the principal—the punishment can be lightened.”

“But all three of us are in this,” the girl sobbed on her bed, “why am I shouldering the blame alone?”

“Well… everyone is blaming you anyway. Sure, we would all get caught in the flames if you expose us, but we all did that because we can’t bear with that bitch Mu Qiqi strutting around. If we were exposed as well, how are we supposed to screw around with her from now on?”

The saying that ‘three men make a tiger’ was true.

It was clear that the girl who uploaded the shaming post was dumb and was used as cannon fodder by the other two girls. Of course, the smartest person in the entire incident was actually Feng Shanshan—she did nothing, and just had to watch as others die for her, even possibly getting penalized for it.

That was why it was a pity that this matter would not just slip by so easily…

Talking to the principal to even things out?

Watch as Sheng Xiao put on some high-level moves behind the scenes.

While the matter continued to escalate in the school forums, the culprit had not shown up for classes in the last two days.

But since they were from a clique, the other two in her gang naturally attended classes as if nothing was wrong. Of course, they also kept their word and had their parents talk to the principal.

Framing a classmate varied in seriousness, but immunity might be granted as long as the proper excuse was given.

The principal’s response was simple too: an apology would suffice.

However, none of them expected that if Feng Shanshan’s clique could talk to the principal, Sheng Xiao could too. Of course, he did not appear personally, and had Xu Che speak for Old Shen and himself instead.

The principal was about to turn off the lights and go home when the important guest came calling.

That was when Xu Che entered the principal’s guest room, with the principal breathing a sigh of relief when he found that it was a young man.

“May I ask what your business here, sir?” He asked.

“I am Sheng Xiao’s assistant.” Xu Che revealed his identity first.

The principal immediately knew that he came for Mu Qiqi then. Even so, Sheng Xiao’s status was embarrassing and he was no longer the Crown Prince of Huang Yao—he couldn’t threaten anyone.

“What is the matter, then?”

“With regards to Mu Qiqi, could you be adopting a lenient approach because of your friend’s requests, sir?” Xu Che asked.

“It’s not actually that serious a matter, and the truth was already revealed. The girl in question has also received her just deserts.”

“Seems that you are not afraid of Mayor Shen or the head of the Shen family, sir. Mu Qiqi is the head’s dearest granddaughter and like a daughter to the mayor, and I have come today bearing the family’s word… of course, my boss Sheng Xiao’s word is most important.”

“About that… what is Mister Sheng’s intention? Does he have some severe punishment in mind?”

Nonetheless, there was a slight contempt showing in the dean’s eyes.

Sure, he could be careful around the Shen family. But Sheng Xiao, as he was now?

There was nothing to be afraid of, wasn’t that so?

Xu Che smiled then—he understood what the other man was getting at. “Sir, perhaps you believe that Chief Sheng is not worth being cautious around after leaving the Sheng family, don’t you?”
