At first, Ke Lei thought that Jian Ci was just trying to blow herself up to expose her true identity.
Just like Ge Lao.
So when the video was first played, she was able to keep her composure.
But when the progress bar moved over little by little, the moment she saw Meng Xiaonan's figure appear in the camera, her pupils suddenly contracted.
There actually is a video?!
how so!
If Meng Xiaonan could be photographed, then she...
Sure enough, the next second I saw my own figure following closely behind!
Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Ke Lei who was sitting there.
Jian Ci propped up her chin with one hand, a defiant and cold look between her eyebrows, and said playfully, "Senior Ke, you are very brave."
Xu Jiang was furious. He slammed the table and yelled, "Ke Lei, it's you!"
Ke Lei's heart trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to argue, "No, no... I didn't..."
But Xu Jiang pointed at the phone and said angrily: "The evidence is irrefutable, you are nothing!"
He really didn't expect that the mastermind behind this was actually his own student from the Cultural Relics Department!
It's absolutely ridiculous!
"In my first class, I said that cultural relics are precious historical and cultural heritage of mankind. As students of cultural relics, you should study and appreciate the spirit and beliefs of our ancestors with the utmost respect! And what did you do? What did you do!!!"
What made him even more heartbroken than the damage to the cultural relics was that the person who destroyed them was actually a student majoring in cultural relics!
These people are all future cultural relics workers.
They shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting cultural relics and passing them on!
But now...
Yet they destroyed and damaged things so casually, and even after doing all this, they could pretend nothing happened when being questioned.
This kind of self-righteous and disrespectful attitude is terrifying.
"No, the nature of this matter is too serious. According to school rules, you will be expelled from the school!" Xu Jiang's expression was tense and he made the decision in a cold voice.
Ke Lei's face suddenly changed with fear, "Professor Xu..."
Before she could finish, Xu Jiang's face turned pale. He waved his hand and interrupted her, saying, "Don't say any more! Stealing, damaging cultural relics, and damaging the reputation of Peking University are all extremely serious. You must be expelled as a warning to others!"
There was no room for negotiation between the words.
"And our museum," Ge Yuanbo said suddenly with a stern expression. "I demand that she explain this matter publicly and apologize."
The impact of this incident is really too bad.
Not only were such precious national treasures destroyed, but the museum's reputation was also affected. A simple dismissal would not be enough.
Ke Lei suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body stiffening. "No... No..."
Never make a public apology!
If it were to become public, she would be ruined.
Even if I graduate in the future, I won’t be able to gain a foothold in this industry.
You have to know that her family runs an auction house. If this news were to be exposed, the family business would definitely fall into the hands of her younger brother.
No.
Absolutely not!
Thinking about her future and her family's property, she decided to hold on and never give in.
"Not me."
When these words were spoken, the office fell into silence for a few seconds.
Xu Jiang couldn't believe his ears. He frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
Ke Lei lowered her eyebrows, her hands tightly gripping the sofa leather, and repeated word by word through gritted teeth: "I didn't do it, why do you want me to apologize?"
Xu Jiang never expected that Ke Lei still refused to admit her mistake even after all.
The anger that had been suppressed with great difficulty now broke out completely.
He couldn't help but bang on the table and roared, "The facts are right in front of us, and you didn't do it?! How can we prove that it was you who did it? Do we have to catch you in the act?"
Amidst Xu Jiang's repeated questioning, the hesitation in Ke Lei's eyes finally turned into a hint of ruthlessness.
She stood up suddenly and fought back, "How can you tell that I stole it? You just saw Meng Xiaonan go in, and then I went in too. Do I have the key? Do I have her pants? Can't I just go to the bathroom?"
Xu Jiang was confused now.
As for the others, they were also stunned.
Indeed, if you only look at the surveillance footage, she had neither the key nor Meng Xiaonan's pants in her hand.
It cannot be directly proved that she stole the key and damaged the cultural relics.
But from all the signs, it is completely certain that she is involved in this matter!
What should I do now?
Is it really possible for Ke Lei to escape so easily?
Xu Jiang felt increasingly disappointed as he looked at Ke Lei, who was stubborn and trying to find excuses for herself.
It's ridiculous that such a person is a student at Kyoto University.
It seems that grades and character really cannot be confused.
Ke Lei, who was standing there, saw that they had nothing to say and thought she had won.
I was secretly happy, but unexpectedly, the next second, I heard a faint voice saying, "But weren't you still looking for her before?"
Jian Ci was leaning lazily on the sofa, staring at her with her dark eyes, and her upturned eyebrows were as sharp as a sword.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Xu Jiang was awakened by this and nodded decisively, "That's right, you clearly knew she was in the women's restroom, so why did you go to the lounge to look for her? Aren't you contradicting yourself?"
"I..." Ke Lei looked a little panicked.
How do you explain this?
The more I think about it, the more confused I become.
