With Lin Qingtong's trust, Mu Chuan seemed to have gained a bit of courage and directly stood up to accuse Lei Ke of the Lake team.
Lin Qingtong nodded, her thoughtful gaze sweeping over the members of Lake's team.
"Since you say that Mr. Mu Chuan plagiarized your work, then you should provide evidence."
"Or you could explain how this technology works, and maybe I'd be able to believe you a little more."
Lei Ke's expression changed slightly upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, but he quickly forced a rebuttal.
"You've already been legally convicted of plagiarism. Don't try to argue your way out of it. Do you expect me to produce the legal ruling?"
Lin Qingtong simply said something indifferently.
"I don't care about any legal issues, just explain how this technology works."
Reco's expression changed again, this time with a hint of anger and embarrassment.
Why should I tell you? Who do you think you are?
Lin Qingtong crossed her arms and spoke casually.
"Look at him, he's gotten angry out of embarrassment."
Reco gritted his teeth in anger and retorted with a livid face.
"You are the ones who plagiarized, not us."
He seemed to only ever say this one sentence over and over again.
Lin Qingtong raised a mocking smile and said, "Since you accuse me of plagiarism, then explain how this technology works."
Lei Ke was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder, and his rationality was on the verge of collapse. He didn't expect Lin Qingtong's thoughts to be completely out of sync with his.
"Who do you think you are? This is a secret of our team, why should I tell you?"
Lin Qingtong simply stared at him quietly, as if watching a clown.
"In short, you can't provide any evidence to prove it."
This made Reco so angry that he spun around in circles, acting as agitated as a monkey despite wearing a suit.
Mu Chuan, standing nearby, was amused. After so many years of wits and battles with Lei Ke, he had never seen him make a fool of himself like this.
When Lei Ke saw Mu Chuan smile, he pointed at him and started cursing.
"What are you laughing at? You're just a scoundrel who plagiarizes others and you still have the nerve to live? Why don't you just die?"
"You don't deserve to live in this world. The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be free and give everyone a break."
His words were like steel knives stabbing into Mu Chuan's heart, and his face immediately paled.
He originally wanted to die, but he wanted to settle things with his comrades before going to his death.
Seeing Mu Chuan like this, Lin Qingtong immediately shielded him behind her and comforted him.
"You should know that when someone points fingers at you and belittles you arrogantly, he is jealous of you."
"Just like how Lake is jealous of your talent and youth, because those are things he couldn't achieve when he was younger."
Mu Chuan suddenly looked up at Lin Qingtong in front of him, a glimmer of light appearing in his dark eyes.
"Really?"
Lin Qingtong nodded directly, her eyes coldly fixed on Lei Ke's direction.
"The reason you said these things is simply because you are jealous of his talent and youth. You are the rat living in the gutter, making a living by stealing other people's things."
"You have no right to let anyone die."
Her words, which struck right to the heart, left Lei Ke speechless, because what Lin Qingtong said was true.
He was indeed jealous of Mu Chuan in front of him; Mu Chuan had easily developed something that he himself could never have done when he was young.
He had gone through so much trouble to gain his supervisor's favor, but he only did an experiment casually and his supervisor cherished him.
He was unwilling to accept this, so he wanted to destroy Mu Chuan in front of him.
But Reco couldn't admit his dark thoughts; he just gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence.
"Why bring up the past? Let's talk about the fact that your Weiyang Laboratory is suspected of plagiarism, and the evidence is conclusive."
Lin Qingtong slowly stepped forward, her aura both fierce and terrifying.
"You say it's plagiarism, then explain the principle behind the technology. If you can't, then I can also say that you plagiarized."
Lei Ke had no idea what to say in rebuttal when Lin Jiaorui's voice suddenly rang out.
"Why would my sister be so angry about plagiarism? These kinds of things are hard to define."
"Since you say that Weiyang Lab did not plagiarize, then explain the principle behind the technology."
She believed Lei Ke's words and assumed that the real plagiarist was Weiyang Lab, so she was very certain that they couldn't say it.
Unexpectedly, Mu Chuan slowly walked out and spoke with a firm look in his eyes.
"Who says we can't say it?"
"This technology combines plant extracts with nanomolecules to fully awaken aging cells, promote skin regeneration, and can even be used in many other areas..."
When Mu Chuan introduced his nanotechnology, he seemed to be shining, showing none of his previous gloomy appearance.
Those watching nearby immediately went online to search for information and exclaimed in surprise.
"What he said was similar to what was online, but more detailed, with many details that couldn't be found elsewhere."
"Could it be that the plagiarist was Lake's team instead of Weiyang?"
"Of course! Can't you see it? Lake's team couldn't even explain the specific principles, and it was Mu Chuan who stepped forward. You know, Mu Chuan was a scientific genius who was renowned both at home and abroad a few years ago."
"How could such a genius plagiarize? It's more like the other way around."
The words of the crowd were like slaps to the faces of Lei Ke and Lin Jiaorui.
Reco, in particular, even wanted to find a crack in the ground to escape from here.
Lin Jiaorui glared at Lei Ke, "Didn't you tell me that this technology was unique to your company? What's going on?"
Reco looked guilty and hurriedly replied, "Our technology is already very mature. Please believe me, Miss Lin, that we are definitely better than his."
"As for the plagiarism issue, the judge has already issued a ruling, so we have a valid point to make."
At this moment, Mu Chuan suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"Why did you win? Only you know what evidence you fabricated, but it doesn't matter. We will keep appealing until the truth comes out."
This made Lin Jiaorui even angrier. She slapped Lei Ke across the face and turned away angrily.
"If that's the case, then there's no need for us to cooperate anymore."
He originally intended to provoke Lin Qingtong, but unexpectedly, he became the laughingstock instead.
Lei Ke stood still, his gaze suddenly falling on Lin Qingtong, and he immediately stepped forward with a fawning smile.
"Miss, our Lake team also has nanotechnology, and it's even more mature. We've already revised it many times. Why don't you cooperate with us?"
Lin Qingtong glanced at him, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
"Sorry, I will not cooperate with you."
She turned to look at Mu Chuan beside her, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Mr. Mu Chuan, how is the cooperation we agreed on going?"
