Dharma Instrument Academy, Class Nine.
"Brother Han, a tutor is here to see you." Dali walked in, his voice as loud as gongs and drums, which could always be heard in the next class.
Gao Han is a celebrity now, and anything related to him can attract everyone's attention and interest.
Look, the heads from Class 8 next door immediately popped out, each with the words "I want gossip" written on their foreheads.
Gao Han walked out of the classroom.
The instructor who came to see him was quite young. He looked him up and down and said, "You must be Gao Han, come with me to the Academic Affairs Building."
Gao Han didn't ask anything. He just nodded and followed the young mentor, leaving a trail of disappointed expressions behind him.
The young tutor thought that he was holding back on asking because he didn't want others to hear, and he felt a little strange. But when they reached the Academic Affairs Building, he didn't show any intention of asking, and looked calm and composed. The tutor then realized that he had missed the point. Perhaps this student was just different from other students.
"Student Gao, when you go in, no matter what the dean asks, you must answer honestly. It will be more beneficial to you." The young tutor couldn't help but remind him.
Gao Han was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher."
The young tutor then knocked on the door of the dean's office, and heard the dean's voice from inside asking him to come in.
Gao Han pushed open the door. The office was simply decorated and he could see who was there at a glance: Dean Kong, Professor Fan, a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face, and Tang Minghao and his sister.
Tang Xinyu huddled in a corner with her head lowered. No one knew what she was thinking. She exuded a gloomy aura. She kept picking at her fingernails, and blood was coming out, but she seemed not to notice.
Tang Minghao stood beside her with an angry look on his face. When he saw Gao Han come in, his eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent, as if he wanted to eat him.
"Gao Han, you actually have the nerve to come here, are you a beast? You actually did that kind of thing. I really hate it. I shouldn't have let my father let the wolf into the house!"
Before Dean Kong could even open his mouth, Tang Minghao clenched his gums, as if he had a blood feud with him.
Gao Han glanced at him calmly and walked up to Dean Kong, "Dean, Professor Fan."
"Now that you're here, I just happened to want to verify something with you." Dean Kong said with a smile, not like a superior but more like a kind elder.
"Dean Kong, I'm afraid this matter cannot be verified in such a simple way." The middle-aged man who had given Gao Han a threatening aura since he came in suddenly spoke.
Professor Fan sneered, "So you have evidence?"
The middle-aged man's face darkened slightly. "Xinyu has spoken, isn't that evidence?"
"She?" Professor Fan glanced at Tang Xinyu who seemed to tremble. "She just opened and closed her mouth and said someone raped her. Does that mean that person must have raped her? Then why do we need laws? Can't we just rely on her mouth?"
When Gao Han came in, he had a premonition that Tang Xinyu and his sister were going to do something weird to him again. He didn't expect that they would use his innocence to frame him. He gave the brother and sister a meaningful look.
"Professor Fan, I know you always speak your mind, but facing a young victim, who is a student of Penglai, I hope you can be more careful with your words." The middle-aged man said unhappily. He knew that Fan Congde had a high status in Penglai University, but he was also a member of the Tang family's main family after all.
"That depends on whether she is worthy. How can a person who is full of lies expect me to be kind to her? What qualifications does she have?" Professor Fan's hatred of evil was undoubtedly exposed at this moment.
Tang Xinyu's body trembled even more violently, and she cried miserably.
"Fan Congde, don't go too far!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
"Calm down, both of you. We are here to solve problems today, not to quarrel. Why don't you listen to what the younger generation has to say first?" Kong Lanying slowly stepped forward to smooth things over, but the timing of her move was a bit inappropriate.
The middle-aged man knew that Kong Lanying was favoring Fan Congde, but he could do nothing about it. He could only snort coldly, and his tone when speaking to the brother and sister was involuntarily filled with anger.
"Tang Xinyu, Tang Minghao, both of you repeat what you just said to Dean Kong."
"Uncle Tang, let me say it, Xinyu needs to calm down now." Tang Minghao took the initiative to step forward.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Gao Han was still filled with resentment and hatred, and he slowly, word by word, told him the false accusations against Gao Han.
The general idea was the same as Gao Han's guess, but they didn't dare to say the time was in Qing City. After all, that time was a long time ago, and it couldn't explain why they didn't say it until now.
Gao Han has no status or identity in the Tang family, and after arriving in Penglai, he becomes the target of bullying.
Tang Xinyu had lost her virginity long ago, and she was not afraid of the school investigation at all.
Tang Minghao was obviously not afraid either, as the brother and sister had already agreed on their statements.
"Gao Han, how could you have the heart to do this? Xinyu is your cousin!" Tang Minghao had a look on his face that threatened to kill him.
"Gao Han, what else do you have to say!" The middle-aged man stared at Gao Han coldly, with a faint sense of oppression emanating from his body.
Gao Han's eyes flashed with coldness as he glanced at Tang Xinyu, "My taste is not that bad."
His voice was calm, without any sense of urgency as if he was being framed, but those present could hear his sarcasm.
Tang Xinyu's nails broke directly, and they were covered with blood. She raised her head again, her eyes blurred with tears, "Dean, Professor Fan, Uncle Tang, I don't want to live anymore. He did those things but refused to admit it, and even lied to everyone!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Tang will definitely seek justice for you. If you don't have evidence, it will be useless for him to quibble!" The middle-aged man said in a very cold voice.
Gao Han laughed, "Why don't the people who slandered me produce evidence, but instead ask me, the person being slandered, to produce evidence to prove my innocence? Then in the future, if we frame someone, as long as we make up a random accusation against him, and he can't produce evidence, then he is not innocent?"
"Can I say, sir, you stole my magic weapon? Can you please produce evidence to prove that you have not stolen my magic weapon?"
Professor Fan standing by showed a faint smile of satisfaction.
"Nonsense! Nonsense!" The middle-aged man was furious, and the pressure from his body pressed directly towards Gao Han. He was stopped without any surprise in the middle, and immediately aimed his fire at Professor Fan, "Fan Congde, what do you mean by this?"
"That's what I want to ask you, are you trying to bully the weak? Or are you just angry and embarrassed because I said that?" Professor Fan sneered.
The middle-aged man did not argue with him and looked at Dean Kong who was operating the communicator and seemed to be talking to someone. "Dean Kong, what do you think we should do about this matter? Since Gao Han can't produce any evidence, shouldn't the school give an explanation to the Tang family?"
Kong Lanying slowly put away the communicator. "What Gao said makes sense. Neither of you has produced any evidence. It's hard to say who is right or wrong based on just one sentence."
"Dean Kong, you can't be biased against Gao Han just because he just got first place in the grade..." Tang Minghao said anxiously, "Don't you want to see the evidence? The school's surveillance is the evidence, which can prove that only Gao Han is on that road."
Of course, he deliberately chose that time just to leave Gao Han with no room for argument.
Because the plan was rather hasty, many things could not be accomplished perfectly, but it didn't matter. He had never thought of relying on this incident to defeat Gao Han. What he wanted was a long-term steady stream.
"Then let's take out the surveillance footage first." Kong Lanying said.
Gao Han often hangs out alone in school, so it is not difficult to find such surveillance.
Tang Xinyu had indeed walked that path before him. Only she knew that she had indeed followed Gao Han for a period of time, and it ended up becoming evidence for the two to slander Gao Han.
"Do you have any other explanation?" The middle-aged man looked at Gao Han indifferently, with a sense of superiority and oppression.
Gao Han looked at Tang Minghao and his sister, then at the middle-aged man who was determined to continue, and roughly understood their intentions.
They had no intention of defeating him with this slander. The evidence they produced was specious and not evidence that could kill him with one blow.
Precisely because there was no such evidence, their plan was to slowly bring him down by accusing him of raping his cousin.
This middle-aged man must be Tang Zhenping's man.
"Didn't you investigate my sexual orientation before slandering me?" Gao Han's black eyes revealed sarcasm, and he looked down at them with a faint sense of pressure.
Because he was too surprised by his words, the middle-aged man didn't feel much. He quickly realized the other meaning of this sentence and suddenly looked at Tang Xinyu and Tang Minghao.
"I only like men, and I can't get hard with women." Gao Han had never thought of revealing his sexual orientation in public, but in order to get rid of their entanglement, he had to say it.
Tang Xinyu and Tang Minghao's faces both changed color.
"You're talking nonsense. How could you be a homosexual? You must want to escape punishment, so you lied to everyone! Yes, it must be like this!" Tang Xinyu couldn't accept that the person she had ruined her reputation to slander only liked men. "Uncle Tang, you must make the decision for me!"
"That's enough!" Professor Fan shouted angrily, "Tang Hebi, are you sure you want to continue to embarrass yourself?"
The middle-aged man's face turned pale. No matter how much evidence he had, it was not as convincing as Gao Han's words.
Just like Fan Congde said, if they really wanted to investigate further, they would be the ones who would be embarrassed in the end, because he knew very well that Tang Minghao and his sister were lying.
But if he gave up like this, he would have a hard time explaining to Tang Zhenping when he returned.
"Dean Kong, you want to make a final conclusion based on his words. I'm afraid it's not convincing, right?"
Gao Han suddenly interrupted, "Your niece is dating multiple men at school at the same time. Her bad reputation is known to everyone. There is no evidence for something that is not true. But I can produce evidence. If Mr. Tang is determined to continue to pester her, do you think the host family will sit back and do nothing?"
Every big family will fight among themselves, but fighting in front of the public is still a shameful thing. If the Tang family loses, all their face will be lost. The one who will be unlucky then will not be Gao Han, but the middle-aged man who helped Tang Minghao and his sister.
The middle-aged man suddenly realized this, and after weighing the pros and cons, his expression changed.
When Tang Minghao noticed this, his face suddenly darkened and became gloomy and terrifying.
Kong Lanying's smiling gaze paused on Gao Han. It seemed that even if they didn't show up, he could handle it himself.
"Okay, now that this matter is resolved, let's talk about another matter."
