Chapter 17 Because Someone Used a Cheat
Ye Zhen couldn't understand why everyone in her past life had assumed she had plagiarized!
Why should I?
Is it because Ye Zhenzhu is popular and better at pretending and acting than her?
At that time, she was caught off guard by the plagiarism accusation and had no way to defend herself.
But upon closer inspection, there are flaws in this matter.
Indeed, given the presence of monitoring, submitting two identical sets of data clearly indicates a problem.
She was convicted before any evidence was presented.
He Baizhou paused for a moment, then said, "Because..."
He Baizhou immediately realized something was wrong.
At this moment, Ye Chengbei spoke up: "Because Pearl submitted her lab report before you. If she plagiarized you, how could she have finished writing it before you?"
He Baizhou chimed in, "Yes, Pearl submitted hers before you."
"You're wrong. Ye Zhenzhu and I finished writing the data at the same time, but she just finished a little faster than me."
Ye Zhen's expression was firm: "If we're going to investigate who plagiarized, then we need to investigate both of them. I'm also very curious to know why our data is exactly the same."
After Ye Zhen finished speaking, someone immediately spoke up for her.
Liu Qing spoke up: "That's right. I think this kind of thing should be investigated thoroughly and fairly."
The other students chimed in, "That's right, let's investigate together."
Ye Zhen looked over and felt a little touched.
This time, she is determined to seek justice for herself who died unjustly in her previous life.
Ye Zhenzhu gritted her teeth secretly. Did this bitch still want to struggle?
Unfortunately, struggling is useless.
Ye Zhenzhu walked over and said, "Okay, I agree to the investigation."
"I disagree! This is unfair!"
Ye Chengbei was the first to object. He looked at Ye Zhen and said, "Everyone knows what your grades are like. You came in last place in the school's preliminary competition. It's not surprising that you would plagiarize Pearl."
Ye Zhenzhu sighed with red eyes, "Fourth Brother, please stop talking."
"Why can't we talk about it? Everyone should see what kind of person Ye Zhen is!"
Ye Chengbei had been waiting for this day for a long time.
He wanted Ye Zhen to suffer a miserable end, since Ye Zhen had been so arrogant lately.
He Baizhou walked directly up to Ye Zhen and said in a low voice, "Just admit your mistake. I'll talk to my brother and ask them not to make this public. Pearl won't hold you responsible either, and you'll be fine."
"Your older brother?"
Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised.
"Well, this lab was actually funded by my older brother, so my words definitely carry weight."
He Baizhou felt that his older brother would definitely give him face.
Ye Zhen sneered, "You get out too!"
At this moment, the head of the laboratory came out.
Ye Chengdong was the first to step forward: "Hello, I am Ye Chengdong, the vice president of Ye's Group. Ye Zhen is my younger sister. I am very sorry for what she did this time. When we get back, I will definitely teach her a lesson."
Ye Chengbei said sarcastically, "Brother, why are you pleading for such an ingrate?"
"Fourth Brother, please say less. Eldest Brother is only thinking about the reputation of our Ye family."
Ye Zhenzhu tugged at Ye Chengbei, pretending to be magnanimous.
He Baizhou couldn't help but say, "Pearl, you've been wronged this time."
"Hey, what's the big deal? I know my sister must have had her reasons for doing this, I won't hold it against her."
Ye Zhenzhu pretended to be very generous.
But secretly, he was overjoyed.
Ye Zhen, you bitch, today marks the beginning of your tragic life.
Ye Zhenzhu looked at Ye Zhen with smug satisfaction, eager to see the bitch's sad and miserable appearance.
Ye Zhen stood there expressionless, showing no sadness, no panic, and not even a hint of concern.
Ye Zhenzhu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Ye Zhen's expression was off, very off.
Ye Zhenzhu hurriedly asked the system, "What does Ye Zhen mean by this attitude? Does she have some backup plan?"
System: "Even if we investigate, we won't find anything."
Ye Zhenzhu was immediately relieved, but she was still bothered by Ye Zhen's composure at this moment.
Ye Zhenzhu couldn't help but look at Ye Zhen: "Sister, I think we shouldn't make a big fuss about this. It's not good for your reputation."
Ye Zhen's lips curled into a cold smile: "It's better if it blows up. Are you so worried about it blowing up because you're afraid people will find out the truth about your plagiarism?"
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would I need to plagiarize you?"
Ye Zhenzhu panicked and, of course, would not admit to plagiarism.
Ye Chengbei chimed in, "Exactly, don't you know how terrible your skills are?"
"Ye Zhen, come here right now!"
Ye Chengdong was the most furious person, after all, he wanted to minimize the impact of this matter.
Ye Zhen walked over, and Ye Chengdong pressed down on her shoulder: "Apologize, admit that you plagiarized!"
Ye Zhen felt a pain in her shoulder. She looked up at the head of the lab and asked, "Have you figured it out?"
"The investigation is still ongoing."
The person in charge saw Ye Zhen's pale face and heard a cold male voice through the earpiece: "You said that before this matter is investigated, it is impossible to determine who the plagiarist is."
The person in charge quickly repeated the explanation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed her efforts had been effective.
She might not be able to detect Ye Zhenzhu's cheat, but the people in the lab might.
Ye Chengdong was surprised: "I said there's no need to spend time investigating. Our Ye family will handle this ourselves."
Making this a big deal out of nothing will only bring more shame to the Ye family.
“Mr. Ye, our lab takes plagiarism very seriously and will absolutely not let it end so carelessly. You have no right to interfere in this matter.”
Ye Chengdong was somewhat annoyed: "Isn't it enough that she admits it?"
"But Ye Zhen doesn't admit to plagiarism. We won't let a bad person get away with it, nor will we wrongly accuse someone."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen's feelings became very complicated.
In her past life, she was coerced by her older brother into admitting to plagiarism, without even offering a word of defense.
Because at that time, her older brother said he would give her justice, but after she admitted it, he nailed her to the pillar of shame for plagiarism.
It was only then that Ye Zhen realized that her older brother simply wanted to smooth things over and avoid making a big fuss.
Whether she was wronged or not, her older brother didn't care at all.
Ye Chengdong looked at Ye Zhen: "Ye Zhen, I'll say it one last time, just admit to plagiarism!"
The tone was almost commanding.
"I will not admit to things I did not do."
Ye Zhen held her head high, refusing to back down.
She felt a little sad, but she never wanted to take the blame for her so-called family again in this lifetime.
"Is Mr. Ye so eager to take the blame for Ye Zhen trying to cover up some truth?"
Liu Qing couldn't bear to watch any longer.
I've never seen family members like this before, forcing Ye Zhen to admit to plagiarism without any evidence.
Ye Chengbei looked at Liu Qing: "This is our family matter. We know very well what kind of person Ye Zhen is."
"Ha, even a blind man could see that you're not treating Ye Zhen well enough. Who knows if it's just favoritism?"
As a top student, Liu Qing was also quite popular with her classmates. As soon as she said that, her classmates immediately echoed her sentiments.
Ye Chengdong was momentarily embarrassed.
He glared at Ye Zhen and said, "Fine, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. Don't expect me to clean up this mess for you."
"unnecessary."
Ye Zhen looked at the person in charge: "You should have checked the surveillance footage. Did you find any clues?"
"The surveillance footage shows that the two of you did not interact at all during the competition, and it was impossible for you to see each other's data entries. So there is only one possibility left."
Ye Zhen spoke up: "Someone used a cheat."
Ye Zhenzhu's pupils dilated instantly.
