Qin Sheng stared at her quietly, her red lips slightly moving as she slowly said, "You met my grandfather a few days ago?"
Wenren Baiqing was taken aback, surprised that Qin Sheng would call him for the first time to ask about this matter.
However, he immediately replied, "Yes, I saw him."
Qin Sheng: "What's the matter?"
Wenren Baiqing continued to answer, but this time his voice carried a hint of trepidation. He said, "I heard that Elder Yu acquired a chess set, and each piece is made of extremely rare and precious ancient boundary stones. As you know, I've been searching for various new elements, so I was thinking of discussing with Elder Yu whether he could sell me one piece..."
"However, Elder Yu refused."
He paused for a moment, then quickly added, "I didn't know it was a gift you gave to Elder Yu. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have asked for it!"
Qin Sheng hummed in agreement, not saying anything more about the question, and continued to gaze at Qin Yanshu, asking, "And Qin Yanshu, did my grandfather take her to see you?"
Qin Yanshu?
Wenren Baiqing was stunned for a moment, and it took him four or five seconds to realize who Qin Sheng was talking about. He said, "Are you talking about the little girl who calls Grandpa Yu?"
"How could that be? Why would I bring unrelated people when I meet with Elder Yu to discuss business? We met that young lady by chance during our meal, and she came over to say hello to us."
However, when this was mentioned, Wenren Baiqing couldn't help but ask casually, "Is there something wrong with Qin Yanshu? When she came over, Elder Yu's expression became very strange. Before she even said two words, she pulled me away."
It only took a minute or two.
He could sense that Qin Yu's emotions towards the little girl were complicated, a mixture of pity, disappointment, and anger, but in the end, he said nothing, let out a long sigh, and left.
Even Qin Sheng called specifically to ask about this...
While inwardly marveling at Qin Yanshu's considerable influence, Vice Dean Wenren couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
Qin Sheng didn't bother to explain further, simply saying "I understand" before hanging up the phone.
Qin Sheng put her phone in her pocket, her voice still cool and aloof, and asked Qin Yanshu and Mu Ji, "Are you satisfied now?"
One of them was swaying precariously, almost unable to stand, while the other had a livid face and eyes that seemed to want to devour someone.
Of course, it was Qin Yanshu who was being devoured at this moment.
Mu Ji never dreamed that at his age, he would be fooled by a young girl, twice in a row.
The first time, the school had to pay a huge sum of 40 million yuan in compensation; this time…
Mu Ji suddenly shivered, and forgot all about Qin Yanshu, turning his gaze to Qin Sheng.
"Qin classmate..." he called out to Qin Sheng in a softer voice, his eyes filled with a plea.
This is because they guessed that the conflict between Qin Yanshu and Pei Ling was probably not as Qin Yanshu said, and they wanted to plead with Qin Sheng to stop dwelling on the matter.
Let's all take a step back and let's just let this matter pass.
Would Qin Sheng care if he backed down?
Her gaze swept back and forth between Pei Ling and Qin Yanshu, finally landing on Qin Yanshu, and she said, "You are right about one thing: in my heart, I only recognize Pei Ling as my sister. You are nothing to me."
Even if her blood relation with Qin Yanshu was already very weak, and even if her father was just her grandparents' son, and she and Qin Yanshu were cousins, the things Qin Yanshu had done were enough for her to blacklist her.
In other words, her grandparents always felt guilty and sorry for her, and her parents had visited her many times under the guise of visiting Qin Yanshu. In this matter, their family really owed her something.
That's why she's tolerated her all this time.
But that's where it ends.
Between proving Pei Ling's innocence and saving Qin Yanshu's last bit of face, she chose the former without hesitation.
Qin Sheng glanced through a small door in the lobby, where a staff member carrying a laptop was rushing out.
With a quick glance, he located Professor Zheng's position and hurried forward, saying with a headache, "Professor, we found the surveillance footage, but for some reason, the surveillance camera on the front of the laboratory is malfunctioning. The only footage we have is from the camera on the back, which recorded the period before the accident."
But that surveillance footage in the background...
The staff member frowned, looking troubled, and hesitated before asking, "Should we put it in?"
Professor Zheng could tell from the staff's expressions that the footage recorded by the surveillance camera behind them might be detrimental to Pei Ling and Tianjin University.
But the words have already been spoken, and so many people are watching. If they were to change their minds now and say they wouldn't let go, it would be a slap in the face to their lab!
And Qin Sheng's side...
Professor Zheng glanced at Qin Sheng, saw that she still had her usual aloof and indifferent appearance, shook his head, and said, "Let it go."
The staff hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to connect the laptop to the projector in the lobby.
The video had been extracted and opened on the computer beforehand. Now that it's connected to the projector, all I have to do is press Enter and the video starts playing automatically.
The image shows the backs of two girls.
The two of them were sitting on adjacent lab benches, quite close to each other.
At the beginning, both of them were busy with their own tasks: adjusting instruments, recording data, and observing reactions...
But less than a minute later, Pei Ling’s figure in front of the test bench on the left suddenly swayed, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Qin Yanshu noticed and immediately reached out to help, but was instinctively pushed away the moment she touched Pei Ling's arm.
Caught off guard, Qin Yanshu immediately fell backward.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the test table in front of him.
Although the person did not fall, their arm collided with the experimental equipment on the test table, which was still reacting, due to their unstable posture.
That was a high-temperature heating device.
In an instant, she reflexively withdrew her hand, but even though she was quick, a large area of her arm was still red.
It stood out strikingly against her fair skin.
The video freezes on the scene where Qin Yanshu turns around to look at Pei Ling after being burned.
In the video, Qin Yanshu is facing the camera sideways, her right hand tightly gripping her bright red left hand, her red lips slightly parted. Even from just her profile, everyone could feel the sheer disbelief she was experiencing.
Turning their gaze away from the big screen, the people present exchanged bewildered glances.
Putting aside all the previous events, just looking at this surveillance video, it's clear that Qin Yanshu was trying to help someone, but was instead bitten in return.
So, Qin Sheng insisted on believing Pei Ling and insisted that the video was adjusted incorrectly, right?
This accident is entirely Pei Ling's responsibility!
This can't be reversed now, can it?
