He was clearly not afraid of making things worse, clutching his heart with a hurt expression, saying, "I just went on stage to give a speech, do they really need to mess with me for this?"
"You guys are planning to use the excuse that the performance needs to continue on stage to drag me off, and then secretly beat me up, right?"
Upon hearing this, the group realized that this was indeed their plan. Seeing Xie Li so close at hand, they felt a chill run down their spines and quickly pointed.
"It has nothing to do with us; it was Editor-in-Chief Hang who instigated it!"
"Yes, yes, and the whole thing about Xie Li was also planned by Editor-in-Chief Hang, all to curry favor with his goddess, Jiang Baili!"
"The 'Ugly Ranking' is just for targeting Xie Li; everyone else is just there to make up the numbers! Xie Li's votes were also rigged!"
"Jiang Baili's votes were also rigged!"
One by one, they poured out their stories, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
The girls next to Jiang Baili, who had just wanted to befriend her, looked at her with surprise. "Baili, you..."
Jiang Baili's expression turned sour as soon as Gu Chen stepped onto the stage, and now it was contorted and grotesque, bearing a striking resemblance to Hang Dongxu's.
She clenched her fists and breathed heavily, barely managing to keep her facial muscles from malfunctioning.
"I……"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the people around her took a few steps back, wanting to keep their distance from her.
Normally, everyone tries to flatter her and befriend her, mainly because of the Xie family's influence and her background as the daughter of the Jiang family in the capital.
Unexpectedly, this socialite heiress rigged votes and even harassed her classmates, which is terrifying.
Nobody wants to associate with someone so cunning and calculating.
Hang Dongxu's heart skipped a beat. These idiots had actually confessed everything he had been doing in secret?
Incompetent and a complete failure! Useless!
Fortunately, the entire studio was noisy, and these people weren't holding microphones, so few people could hear what they were saying.
He wasn't entirely unprepared; he composed himself and was about to speak when he said, "..."
"In that case, you, as the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, should just apologize and resign," a voice said casually.
Hang Dongxu was furious. Why is there another person with a microphone? Are all the staff backstage useless?
"Who are you, and what gives you the right to do this..." The gun was pointed at the person, but before the gun was even fired, the person's eyes widened as if struck by lightning.
"T-Teacher!"
The person who took the microphone onto the stage was none other than Mr. Lin, the student council advisor. Following behind Mr. Lin were the student council president and the head of the publicity department, who was in charge of this performance and had made things much easier for him.
Hang Dongxu's mind went blank; he knew he was finished.
"What 'No Salt Ranking'? Chairman Xia has already stopped it, so why is it still causing such a stir on Tieba?"
"Where do you get the nerve to mock a girl's appearance? Just because you have a big face?"
As soon as Teacher Lin opened her mouth, she launched into a tirade of criticism.
The school newspaper of Linjiang No.1 Middle School belongs to the student council, which has a great deal of autonomy. Therefore, he has never interfered in the affairs of the student council, which often makes people forget that this teacher has a straightforward temper and can never tolerate any nonsense.
"Do you realize that what you're doing, to put it bluntly, is bullying your classmate!"
Hang Dongxu's legs went weak, and his face turned ashen. "Teacher, I didn't..."
Linjiang No.1 Middle School has strict school rules and regulations, and those who bully classmates will be expelled.
"Still trying to justify yourself? Instead of arguing here, you should apologize and repent for your actions!" Teacher Lin was not buying it at all.
"Xie Li, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Hang Dongxu was quick-witted and immediately realized his mistake. This time, he didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
