"I'm telling you, Boss Su is Lin Xuan's girlfriend. She definitely can't stand seeing anyone smear his name. I'd bet five bucks that Boss Su is going to stand up for him."
"I think so too."
Hearing their discussion, Wang Dahe shook his head.
Boss Su would undoubtedly punish the mastermind behind the rumors and slander against Lin Xuan.
That went without saying.
Now, all he had to do was sit back and watch the show—specifically, watch how the President of Yundu University was about to meet his downfall.
With Boss Su making a move, the President of Yundu University certainly wouldn't have a happy ending.
Chen Mo sat in the classroom, staring at the content on his phone.
He was on pins and needles, his heart pounding with nervousness.
The President of Yundu University had been exposed. Did that mean the investigation would trace back to him, too?
If it came out that he was the one who leaked the information to Yundu University—that Lin Xuan was leading a team of Shangqing University students to research chips and lithography machines—he would undoubtedly be attacked by countless people from Shangqing University.
And then there was Yueyue. Because of this incident, her impression of him must be terrible.
That would make his chances of pursuing her even more non-existent.
Chen Mo kept his eyes glued to his phone screen, checking to see if the Weibo trending topics had refreshed.
After a long while, seeing that his name still hadn't appeared, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It had been this long and he still hadn't made the trending list; those people probably hadn't traced it to him.
If they hadn't found him, he should be safe.
At this thought, the weight in Chen Mo's chest lifted slightly.
His gaze grew slightly dark and sullen.
*Lin Xuan, I'll let you off the hook this time. But next time, you won't be so lucky.*
——
Yundu University.
After leaving the President's office, the secretary took out his phone again, wanting to check the situation online.
He hoped this incident wouldn't negatively impact Yundu University.
The number one spot on the Weibo trending list had a new hashtag.
Seeing the words "Yundu University President," a very bad feeling rose in the secretary's heart.
This hashtag wouldn't appear without reason. Lin Xuan's incident had just happened, and immediately after, this topic appeared.
Could it be that the President had been exposed?
The secretary felt apprehensive.
He hurriedly opened the link to check.
"This..."
His eyes went wide.
It was true. It had actually been discovered...
"President! Bad news! Something terrible has happened!" The secretary stumbled as he ran back into the President's office.
The President hadn't yet calmed his nerves. Hearing the secretary's words, his heart skipped a beat. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What has happened now?"
The secretary lowered his head and replied, "President, it... it's been discovered."
His voice was trembling uncontrollably.
"What has been discovered? Speak!" the President of Yundu University shouted.
"It's... the mastermind behind the Lin Xuan incident has been found out. The internet has exposed that you arranged all of it. Now everyone is saying you have no shame, and they're badmouthing Yundu University," the secretary replied in a very low voice, head bowed.
"What?"
The President's body swayed. If he hadn't been holding onto the back of his chair, he likely would have collapsed to the floor.
"How is this possible?"
"How could it have been discovered?"
He had acted covertly this time; it shouldn't have been possible to detect him. It wasn't as if he hadn't done things like this before, and he had never been caught in the past.
The secretary kept his head down and answered, "President, the Tianmu Group specializes in the internet industry. It's not difficult for them to trace this. Furthermore, with Boss Su's support, it's very likely that Boss Su was the one who exposed it."
Boss Su had stated she would support Lin Xuan unconditionally.
Therefore, it was only natural that Boss Su would help dig up these details.
The President's body swayed unsteadily, and his face turned a ghastly, inhuman shade of white.
Now that these things had been exposed, if he couldn't produce concrete evidence to prove it had nothing to do with him, his position as President would likely be revoked...
He had worked so hard to climb to his current position; he didn't want to be removed.
But what could he do? He *had* done it...
A buzzing sound filled the President's ears. He had absolutely no idea how to face this.
His hands trembling, he unlocked his phone.
On Weibo, next to the number one trending topic "Yundu University President," a red "Explosive" tag had appeared.
He tapped on it.
Sure enough, the post contained itemized evidence proving that he was the one who had paid to smear Lin Xuan.
The comment section was filled with all sorts of insults directed at him.
— Oh my god, I never in a million years thought the President of Yundu University did this. As the head of a university, going out of his way to slander a student? Where is his dignity?
— With such a shameless President, how good can the school's atmosphere be? Thank goodness my daughter applied to Shangqing University. If she went to Yundu University, I'd be worried she'd be led astray.
— It's no surprise coming from the school President who produced someone with such poor character as Lin Li.
— Sure enough, people who smear Lin Xuan never end up well. Do you guys think Lin Xuan exposed this?
— Very likely. If it wasn't Lin Xuan, then it must be some wealthy sugar mommy who likes Lin Xuan standing up for him.
— Chen Xiong, get the hell out of Yundu University! Someone like you isn't fit to be a university President!
— Get out of Yundu University!
*Clatter—*
The phone slipped from the President's hand.
He slumped onto the sofa.
He regretted it. He truly regretted it. He shouldn't have targeted Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was someone who could bring down the Xinghui Group and Lin Qingwan's company, let alone him...
Suddenly, the President stared at Teacher Wang with a gloomy, sinister look in his eyes.
"Pre... President, what's wrong?" Teacher Wang asked nervously.
The President suddenly stood up.
*Smack!*
A heavy slap landed on Teacher Wang's face.
He had used all his strength in that slap. Teacher Wang's face was knocked to the side, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
"President..." Teacher Wang covered her face. She was furious that the President had hit her, but given his status at Yundu University, she didn't dare say anything.
If she offended the President, she probably wouldn't be able to stay at Yundu University.
Although Yundu University couldn't compare to Shangqing University right now, it was still the second-ranked university in Daxia. Staying at Yundu University offered a better future.
"Do you realize that I'm going to be ruined because of you?!"
The President of Yundu University was trembling all over with rage.
"Wang Li! If you hadn't told me the news about Lin Xuan leading Shangqing University students to research chips, I wouldn't have bought the trending topics or hired internet trolls to smear Lin Xuan, and I wouldn't have been exposed for doing these things!"
Now look at the mess.
It was all exposed. His reputation and Yundu University's reputation were ruined.
It would be practically impossible for Yundu University to catch up to Shangqing University in the future.
And as for him!
With a scandal of this magnitude, it would be impossible for him to continue serving as the President of Yundu University.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
