At this moment, Jiang Jiahan also rushed to the scene. As a popular professor at the music academy, she naturally had to attend the event, but she had been delayed by some company matters and was therefore a little late.
I never expected to witness the most shocking scene right away—my boss and the school leaders were at odds!
Jiang Jiahan had been harassed by Zhu Dehua quite a bit before, but because she was tough enough and later became famous, Zhu Dehua didn't dare to go too far. At this time, she noticed that the three young ladies, Lin Ruoyan, Ning Jiaqi, and Yang Meixi, were all standing by Lin Chen's side, and Lin Chen was arguing with Zhu Dehua again.
Being clever, she probably guessed the truth of the matter.
Zhu Dehua glanced at Jiang Jiahan and muttered to himself: You woman, you wouldn't have been won over by that guy and be pleading for him, would you?
However, before Jiang Jiahan could speak, Lin Chen continued fearlessly, "If Haizhou University were full of people like Zhu Dehua, I would never have gotten in. Because this place is too filthy! Of course, you know best how you climbed to your current position."
As for whether what I said was nonsense, slander against teachers, or the truth, I think the police will give an answer soon. Don't forget, Wu Yifan has already fallen; who else do you think you can count on?
Lin Chen's words struck a nerve with Zhu Dehua. He was utterly shocked, his finger trembling as he pointed at Lin Chen: "You, you… how could there be such a shameless student like you in this world! My lifelong integrity has been tarnished by your baseless speculations and empty words! Get out! Don't even think about ever returning to school!"
However, Lin Chen merely smiled mockingly and turned to leave. He could, of course, cripple Zhu Dehua right now, but he felt that would be too lenient. What he wanted was for Zhu Dehua to lose everything he valued most: his reputation and status! To make him wish he were dead!
Ning Jiaqi followed closely behind Lin Chen. Zhu Dehua was left alone, his fingers trembling, his anger barely contained.
"Master, how exactly did you know that those scandalous things were related to Zhu Dehua?" Ning Jiaqi trusted Lin Chen even more than she trusted herself, but at this moment, she was filled with curiosity and eager to know how Lin Chen had figured all this out.
Lin Chen smiled calmly and explained, "The shady dealings and scandals between Zhu Dehua and Wu Yifan are actually common knowledge, but no one dares to speak out."
Ning Jiaqi nodded slightly and didn't press the matter further. After the two left the hall, Zhu Dehua also hurriedly left, looking indignant.
The hall was now in chaos. The remaining teachers warned their respective students to forbid them from revealing the matter, or they would face expulsion. This action instilled fear in many students.
At the same time, the school's relevant online forums, message boards, and other online platforms received instructions from the administrators to monitor the situation closely and delete any content related to the matter immediately.
Just then, Lin Chen received a call from Lin Ruoyan. Despite the school's best efforts to suppress the news, Lin Ruoyan's special status meant no one dared confiscate her phone.
"My dear brother, you acted far too impulsively this time," Lin Ruoyan said worriedly over the phone.
Lin Chen replied without hesitation, "Really? Then let me tell you, even if it happened again, I would still do it, no matter the consequences."
"Sigh, I'll try my best to get you leniency. But that Zhu Dehua isn't easy to deal with. I hope you understand that you don't always have to act recklessly. To solve problems, we need to use our wisdom," Lin Ruoyan earnestly advised.
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Lin Chen hung up the phone.
Ning Jiaqi looked at Lin Chen, her worry evident on her face. Lin Chen looked at her with heartache and gently comforted her, "My little Jiaqi, don't worry. This Haizhou University diploma is just icing on the cake for me. Don't bother trying to use your father's influence. It's not good to always trouble my father-in-law."
Ning Jiaqi hugged Lin Chen tightly and said coquettishly, "Who's your father-in-law! I'm just worried that we won't be able to see each other often after you leave here. I'll miss you."
...
Lin Chen returned to his dormitory. Since the school hadn't issued a formal expulsion notice yet, he could continue to stay at the school. Ning Jiaqi later accompanied Lin Chen back to his dormitory.
At first, Lin Chen was somewhat opposed, after all, there were other boys... and girls in the dormitory! But then he remembered that Jin Songzhu had gone to work part-time at her uncle Dong Yuhui's place during the holiday and was not in the dormitory, so he felt at ease letting Ning Jiaqi in.
Because it was a short holiday, the dormitory was empty and there were hardly any people. Li Kui went out with Zou Danyang, and Guo Xiaosi also left with Su Hong'er.
As soon as Ning Jiaqi entered the dormitory, she smelled a faint fragrance. "Huh? Why does your boys' dormitory smell so good?" she asked curiously.
Lin Chen hurriedly explained, "It's Pan Wei! You know that kid, he's like Cai Xiaokun, a bit effeminate, likes to wear perfume and makeup. This scent must be from him."
"Oh? Does he wear makeup and women's clothing?" Ning Jiaqi noticed the cosmetics Jin Songzhu had used on the table and asked curiously.
“Yeah! He’s a cross-dressing master!” Lin Chen replied with a smile.
"Then what's with these white stockings? Also, is the person in this bed Pan Wei? And why is the mosquito net locked?" Ning Jiaqi's barrage of questions caught Lin Chen off guard.
Lin Chen could only pin the blame on Pan Wei. Although Ning Jiaqi had some doubts, she didn't dare to think about the crazy idea of a girl living in a boys' dormitory. For now, she could only force herself to imagine Pan Wei wearing white stockings, perfume, and lipstick!
"Master, the school hasn't officially issued an expulsion notice yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Besides, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to leave without saying goodbye to your roommates?"
As Ning Jiaqi carefully packed Lin Chen's clothes, she asked softly, her tone revealing a hint of reluctance.
Lin Chen chuckled lightly, trying to ease the slightly heavy atmosphere, "Xiao Jiaqi, don't be so sad. It's not like I'm never coming back. Besides, you're still here, and I'll definitely make time to come back and see you, so don't worry."
Ning Jiaqi knew that Lin Chen was pretending to be relaxed, so she didn't say anything. She just hugged him gently, and the two of them quietly embraced in the dormitory.
After leaving the dormitory, Lin Chen checked into a four-star hotel near the school. This was a free, permanent private room that Lao Mao had booked for him, so why not take it? Besides, it was close to the school, making it convenient for him to keep track of the school's activities and get back in time.
As for whether Ning Jiaqi, Lin Ruoyan, Yang Meixi, and Jiang Jiahan would be punished by the school for siding with him, Lin Chen wasn't worried. He knew these young ladies' backgrounds well; which of the school's leaders would dare to offend them easily?
Now, Lin Chen is more worried about Jin Songzhu. His intervention this time was ultimately to avenge Jin Songzhu, and he wondered what that rampaging loli would think of him.
During this period, Lin Chen's name was incredibly popular at Haizhou University. Despite the school's repeated prohibitions against exposing the matter, nothing stays secret forever. Besides, all four young ladies were present at the time, and no one dared to confiscate their phones.
Therefore, news spread quickly, and the media swarmed in like cats smelling fish. To minimize the impact, Haizhou University shifted all the blame onto the five individuals. After all, they were masked at the time, and no one knew their true identities. The university itself, meanwhile, distanced itself entirely.
The identity of the victim, Wu Yifan, has also been blurred out, and no one knows it. This only makes the matter more confusing.
As for the conflict between Zhu Dehua and Lin Chen, it didn't attract much attention because it wasn't newsworthy. However, Zhu Dehua wasn't about to let Lin Chen off easily; he proactively contacted the media and gave an interview.
However, he didn't realize that doing so was suicidal!
