At this time, everyone in the exhibition hall had left.

Only students from Kyoto University and related staff gathered there.

It’s not that they didn’t want to leave, but they were all detained by the security personnel.

This inevitably made the students a little worried.

"Senior Lu, Jian Ci won't ask us to pay the four billion, right?"

This sentence immediately caused uneasiness among everyone present.

It’s 4 billion after all.

This is no joke.

These people may not be able to make 100 million even if they work until they die in their lifetime, let alone 4 billion.

So they all expressed their opinions.

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with us."

"Yes, I'm just a planner. I've never touched calligraphy or painting before."

"I'm just an artist and a painter. I've never touched that calligraphy or painting."

"Then I'm even more innocent. I just write speeches for the hosts. I don't even have time to memorize the words every day, so how can I have time to appreciate calligraphy and paintings?"

…

Facing the crowd's evasion, Ke Lei, standing nearby, crossed her arms, looking bored, and said, "Don't worry, it was Meng Xiaonan who kept the calligraphy and paintings. She's the one who neglected her duty, so she should be the one to pay the compensation. It has nothing to do with us."

These words made those present heave a sigh of relief.

But Meng Xiaonan, who was standing there, quickly lost color from his face, and clenched his fingers, as if he was in great fear.

Ke Lei looked at her and smiled coldly, "I just don't know if she can come up with this huge sum of 4 billion."

Meng Xiaonan lowered his head and couldn't help but tremble all over.

Four billion.

Given her family's financial situation, she doesn't even have 4,000 yuan, let alone 4 billion.

Over the years, she earned money for her studies and living expenses by working part-time during the winter and summer vacations.

If I really have to pay...

She may only be able to pay with her life.

When he thought about the fact that he owed such a huge sum of money before he even graduated, the beautiful life he had envisioned was shattered in an instant. His eyes turned red for a moment, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing this, Lu Yizhou, the class monitor, gave a rare stern rebuke, "Alright, we're all classmates, is there any need to talk like that? Besides, this isn't her fault alone; we were all negligent."

Ke Lei said unconvincedly: "What does this have to do with us? Don't force this matter onto each of us."

"you……"

Before Lu Yizhou could finish his words, his cell phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Xu Jiang.

So, without bothering to argue with Ke Lei, he quickly pressed the call button and responded, "Professor Xu."

Suddenly, everyone present pricked up their ears.

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, and then I heard Lu Yizhou respond: "Okay, I'll take Meng Xiaonan upstairs right away..."

After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, Lu Yizhou said, "And Ke Lei."

Ke Lei, who thought everything was fine, suddenly froze in her arrogant and complacent expression.

The string in my mind became tense.

Soon, the call ended.

Lu Yizhou said to the two of them, "Come on, Meng Xiaonan, Ke Lei, the teacher wants you to go to the office."

Meng Xiaonan had known about this trip for a long time, so she followed without saying anything.

But Ke Lei was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She said stubbornly, "Why should I go to the office?! What does this have to do with me?"

Seeing that she was not cooperating, Lu Yizhou became more and more impatient. "How should I know? The teacher asked to see you. Hurry up and go."

After saying that, he walked out the door first.

However, at this time, Ke Lei behind him still said: "I won't!"

Seeing that she dared to refute him, Lu Yizhou couldn't help but frown slightly, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes, "You don't even listen to what the teacher says?"

Ke Lei's expression was slightly tense, and her eyes flickered.
