After hesitating for a moment, Teacher Ma finally spoke, her voice so low it was almost inaudible.
“What Meng Zihan said…is all true…I can testify to it…”
Upon hearing this, Meng Zihan was so excited she almost jumped for joy.
She won this gamble again!
She pointed at Ye Linchen and shouted loudly into the crowd.
"See! I'm telling the truth! Ms. Ma is our homeroom teacher, she can testify! Ye Linchen is malicious, she's been bullying me all along!"
The students watching immediately started discussing and whispering among themselves.
Some people immediately sided with Meng Zihan and Teacher Ma.
"I never would have guessed. Ye Linchen looks so innocent, but he turns out to be this kind of person!"
"That's exactly right. You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket. Who knows what's inside her!"
Sun Xueyong, as if injected with adrenaline, loudly echoed.
"Yes, yes! How can a student with such poor character be a class leader? She's tarnishing our class's reputation! We strongly recommend that the school remove her from her position and expel her!"
Some people supported Ye Linchen and were skeptical of Teacher Ma's words.
"This teacher isn't very good. She changes students' college applications at will. Can you trust what she says?"
"That's right. If you lose your job, go back to the school. Why drag a former student here to pressure Ye Linchen?"
"Anyway, I'm on Ye Linchen's side."
"I support Teacher Ma and that girl. Look how heartbroken she is crying."
"It's not about whoever cries the most being right."
Ye Linchen ignored the surrounding chatter and only looked coldly at Teacher Ma.
When Teacher Ma met Ye Linchen's gaze, she shuddered.
She had already given false testimony against her conscience, and her heart was filled with guilt and unease. Now, being scrutinized by Ye Linchen like this, she felt even more ashamed and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
In fact, she had just gone through a fierce internal struggle, like two little people fighting.
One represents conscience, and the other represents her current predicament.
Her younger brother, Ma Jianguo, had already paid for the surgery, which was enough to cover their father's surgery.
But Zhang Tingting threatened her that if she didn't expel Ye Linchen from university, she wouldn't let the hospital perform surgery on her father.
Although Ye Linchen said he could help her find a solution, she didn't dare to take the risk.
What if Zhang Tingting really has that much power and prevents her father from having surgery?
If anything were to happen to her father because of this, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life!
Moreover, she has already been expelled from school, making it extremely difficult for her to find a job.
Meng Zihan had promised her that if she handled this matter well, he would let her become a counselor at Jiangcheng Normal School, which was a huge temptation for her.
So in the end, she was simply blinded by greed and got on Zhang Tingting and Meng Zihan's bandwagon, with no way to turn back.
She has no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.
The head of the teaching department glanced at Teacher Ma, frowned, and then looked at Ye Linchen. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Linchen spoke first.
"Teacher Ma, Meng Zihan, no matter how you distort the facts, the truth will not change! Your words are meaningless; you need to provide evidence! Otherwise, you are slandering me!"
"And I have evidence! I still have the self-criticism that Meng Zihan wrote to me in high school when she slandered me!"
"The police station also has a criminal record! The person who poisoned the fish was Meng Zihan, but by a twist of fate, the Ye family drank the poisoned fish soup, resulting in food poisoning. Meng Zihan was detained for fifteen days as a result!"
Upon hearing the word "detention," everyone's gaze towards Meng Zihan immediately changed, and a buzz of excitement arose.
"Detention? This woman has been detained before?"
"The police station wouldn't wrong her."
"Is it true? Or is Ye Linchen just making things up?"
"Don't just say things like that. You can find out by asking around."
"We're going to see a big show this morning. Let's see how this woman performs next."
Meng Zihan never expected that Ye Linchen would be so ruthless, revealing everything.
In her imagination, Ye Linchen would panic and not know what to do once she mentioned these things.
Now it's her who's panicking!
She quickly waved her hands in denial: "No...that's not true! You're talking nonsense! I have no idea about being drugged! You're making false accusations!"
Ye Linchen sneered and said, "Whether I'm lying or not, we can find out by asking the police officers at the police station! Surely the police officers at the police station aren't my accomplices?"
“Yes, yes, we can make a phone call and ask. We’ll know exactly who’s lying!” Feng Linlin chimed in from the side.
Seeing that the truth about drugging was about to be exposed, Meng Zihan quickly changed the subject.
“I’m innocent! I’m a victim too! I was hospitalized! How could I possibly drug myself? I didn’t do such a thing! You bullied me in high school and ruined Teacher Ma’s job—that couldn’t be more true, right? Don’t try to escape responsibility!”
She doesn't care about anything else now; she just wants to convict Ye Linchen as much as possible!
With Teacher Ma as a witness, even if Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan both speak up for Ye Linchen, it won't change anything regarding what happened in high school.
As long as she can ruin Ye Linchen's reputation, she will have achieved her goal!
Anyway, there are plenty of fools in this world, someone will always believe her!
Just then, a person suddenly stepped out from the crowd and shouted, "I know the truth about what happened in high school! I was the class monitor back then, and I can testify that what Meng Zihan said is not true!"
