An Yan looked at Mu Enyu with admiration. Her little deskmate was quite smart.
"It doesn’t matter. Let them do whatever they want. In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or trick is in vain!"
When Mu Enyu saw how certain she was, she relaxed. "Exactly, our paper is so perfect. Even if An Shing and her group are strong, the best they can hope for is a draw!"
An Yan smiled. Her little deskmate was too naïve; such a draw was impossible. And the draw that An Shing’s group was hoping for was also impossible. An Shing was waiting to see her beco a laughingstock. And she was waiting for the chance to smoothly get the mbers of their thesis group to contribute Yezi to her.
"Sigh! Who knows when Su Siming and Liang Chen will co back?"
"Before, when they went to competitions, Su Siming was practically live-broadcasting the event on his Monts, as if he was afraid people wouldn’t know he was winning glory for the school. This ti it’s strange. There was only a photo from when they boarded the plane!"
"An Yan, you don’t think sothing happened to Su Siming and the others, do you?"
Hearing her little deskmate’s concern, An Yan kindly reminded her, "You don’t need to worry about Su Siming; he’s not ant for you."
"As for Liang Chen, if you can maintain your current academic performance, you should receive his confession by your senior year..."
Mu Enyu beca anxious. "...What are you talking about? I am just worried about them as classmates!"
"And, I don’t like Liang Chen! Don’t talk nonsense!"
An Yan saw the little girl get so flustered her face turned red, and smiled indulgently. "Okay, I know. I’ll stop."
As the two were playfully teasing each other, the class advisor ca in. "An Yan, co out with for a mont."
Mu Enyu’s eyes widened with surprise and excitent. "Is it about our paper being published?"
The class advisor didn’t respond, turned around, and walked away with An Yan.
The mbers of An Shing’s group exchanged glances, their expressions smug.
The more Mu Enyu watched them, the more she felt they must be up to sothing no good! She beca so nervous that her heart seed to shrink. If Liang Chen and Su Siming were here, they would surely have a way to help An Yan. But they weren’t here! What to do, what to do?
Mu Enyu, anxious, her face flushed, reached into her bag and grasped her phone. If An Yan couldn’t handle it, she would call her eldest cousin! Her eldest cousin was Mu Chenyuan, known as Young Master Mu. Although he hadn’t fully taken over the family business, he was already well-known. He would want to help her, wouldn’t he? No matter what, if Big Brother wasn’t willing, she would beg him! In any case, her friend absolutely could not get into trouble!
About fifteen minutes later, the class advisor returned, his face grim, and said, "Chen Xiangyu, Ma Chao, Lin Jiahang, Song Yushu, Sun Wenbin—you few, step out and co with !"
The class imdiately erupted. "What’s going on? Please give us a hint, Class Advisor!"
"Yeah, why are you calling them out, Class Advisor?"
"..."
The class advisor looked at everyone with an expressionless face and said coldly, "It’s none of your business. Don’t be so curious. Just focus on your review!"
Mu Enyu sprang to her feet. "Class Advisor, I want to go too!"
"What for?" the class advisor asked, displeased.
"They’re one group, and I’m with An Yan! An Yan is by herself! How can they have so many people?"
The class advisor paused. "Fine, you can co along."
Mu Enyu quickly clutched her phone tighter and followed them out.
「In the eting room.」
Apart from the president and several professors, there were two unfamiliar n with computers in front of them. An Yan sat together with the president and the professors.
Seeing Mu Enyu also co over, An Yan raised an eyebrow.
Mu Enyu quickly moved next to her. "Are you all right?"
An Yan pulled out the chair beside her. "I’m fine. What are you doing here?"
"I’m worried they might bully you!"
As soon as Mu Enyu sat down, she placed her phone on the table.
An Yan glanced at the screen of her phone, which displayed Mu Chenyuan as the contact. She only needed to press the call button for the call to go through.
An Yan’s lips curled up slightly. "Don’t worry! They can’t bully ."
While the two whispered, Chen Xiangyu and the others were anxious and restless. Mu Enyu had a seat as soon as she arrived, but they had been asked by the class advisor to stand there. It felt like they were on trial!
Suppressing his panic, Chen Xiangyu led everyone to bow to the professors and greet them. Then they stood there obediently, waiting.
A refined-looking man wearing gold-rimd glasses took out a printed manuscript and pushed it in front of them. "Could you students confirm that this is the paper you wrote?"
Chen Xiangyu ca forward, took a look, and nodded. "Yes, it is. Is there a problem?"
The man’s gaze was sharp, and his voice was even. "Upon investigation, this paper is suspected of plagiarism. The reason we’re here today is to find out who you copied from and where you copied it from."
Several people shook their heads. "We didn’t copy anything; we wrote it ourselves."
"Yes, Professor. We can prove that we indeed authored this paper."
As he spoke, Chen Xiangyu took out a video of them conducting experints in the laboratory. In the video, there were a few shots of An Shing typing on a computer. Although not very clear, the few visible lines of text confird it was indeed the paper the professor had just presented.
"Well, you all must be quite the geniuses then." The man spoke as he slid a tablet towards them. "Take a look at this video first, and then tell where you really got this paper from!"
Chen Xiangyu and the others quickly looked down at the screen. On the screen appeared an old notebook with a pale blue cover. As the video played, the pages of the notebook were turned, and the content inside was the content of their paper!
"This..." Chen Xiangyu was stunned. "Professor, where did this co from? I swear we have never seen this notebook!"
The others also spoke up in unison. "That’s right, Professor, we’ve never seen this notebook."
"Never seen it before? Look at this part..." This professor, who also seed to enjoy explaining things, carefully pointed to the relevant content. "I’ve just confird with the school; the experintal instrunts you used are incapable of asuring this value! So, how did you obtain this value?"
Chen Xiangyu and the others: "..."
Who could have thought that a single value would expose their actions? And it wasn’t even as if this value was particularly important.
"Speak up!" President Liang slamd his hand on the table.
For his own students to plagiarize soone else’s research findings was sothing absolutely intolerable in academia.
The students were all startled and hung their heads. They all knew that, with things having co to this point, there was no chance of clearing themselves anymore.
