It's Over~ 02

Over at Shangqing University.

Chen Mo felt an inexplicable sense of intense anxiety.

He called Wang Li, wanting to ask about the situation on her end with the chancellor.

However.

The person who answered his phone was a doctor. "Hello, are you a family member of the patient? I am a doctor at Yundu First Central Hospital. The patient has fainted due to severe emotional distress. We need family members to come over immediately."

"What?"

Chen Mo was stunned.

Wang Li actually fainted... Severe emotional distress? Could it be that something went wrong with her plan regarding Lin Xuan? She couldn't handle the pressure and passed out?

"Family member, are you listening to me?" the doctor asked.

"No, I'm not a family member. I'm just a student."

After saying that, Chen Mo hurriedly hung up the phone.

Two female students walked past him in front.

They were chatting as they walked.

"Did you see the trending topics on Weibo? The Chancellor of Yundu University has been arrested for corruption and bribery."

"Ah? Is that true?"

"The news just came out. My best friend sent it to me. It's verified. There are even photos of the Yundu University Chancellor being arrested. Many students at Yundu University saw their chancellor being taken away."

"Why was the Yundu University Chancellor suddenly arrested?"

"I feel like it has to do with the Lin Xuan incident. He bought trending searches and hired paid trolls to smear Lin Xuan, so he got targeted by Lin Xuan or Boss Su. They must have found evidence of his corruption and bribery and handed it over to the police. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? One moment he's smearing Lin Xuan, and the next he's arrested for corruption."

When Chen Mo heard these words, a wave of intense uneasiness surged in his heart.

It must be Boss Su!

Boss Su had started to stand up for Lin Xuan.

For the Chancellor of Yundu University to reach the position of head of a top-tier institution, he must have been extremely cautious in his conduct.

To dig up evidence of corruption and bribery within just an hour or two would be impossible relying solely on Lin Xuan's abilities.

But Boss Su was different.

With her power, she could do it!

Boss Su was now helping Lin Xuan settle scores with those who slandered and envied him!

And Teacher Wang's severe emotional distress and fainting from anger—it must be because Boss Su did something to her as well.

Chen Mo had close dealings with those teachers at Yundu University.

Anxious, he called another teacher at Yundu University to find out what was happening.

"Teacher Chen, it's me, Chen Mo," Chen Mo said.

"Oh, it's Student Chen. Is there something you need?" Teacher Chen asked curiously.

"Teacher Chen, I wanted to contact Teacher Wang about something, but when I just called her, a doctor answered. He said Teacher Wang was suffering from severe emotional distress. Do you know if something happened?"

Chen Mo was afraid the other party would notice something was off, so he hurriedly explained, "I received a lot of guidance in my studies from Teacher Wang before. If I knew she was facing some difficulty, maybe I could help her out."

" regarding that, Student Chen, you can't help," Teacher Chen said, shaking his head. "Teacher Wang just received a notification that she has been expelled. That is likely the reason she fainted."

Chen Mo gripped his phone tightly. It was just as he had predicted.

Teacher Wang was really in trouble.

Chen Mo took a deep breath and asked again, "Teacher Chen, do you know why Teacher Wang was expelled?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that," Teacher Chen answered truthfully. "However, I heard some rumors that it was because she colluded with the Chancellor to participate in the smear campaign against Lin Xuan. It was deemed a breach of professional ethics, so she was fired."

Clatter—

Chen Mo's phone fell to the ground.

"Student Chen? Student Chen?" Teacher Chen frowned and called Chen Mo's name several times.

Chen Mo did not respond.

He shook his head, stopped caring, and simply hung up the phone.

Chen Mo's face turned pale.

The Chancellor and Teacher Wang had both been dealt with. Was he going to be next?

No.

Chen Mo took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his emotions.

Only Teacher Wang knew about his involvement in this. Now that she had fainted, maybe she hadn't exposed him yet.

He had to find a way to keep Teacher Wang's mouth shut.

He didn't want—he absolutely didn't want his future to be ruined.

If his future was ruined, he wouldn't be able to make money later, and he wouldn't be able to change his life of poverty.

And Yueyue!

Yueyue would look down on him even more!

Chen Mo hurriedly tried to leave the school. He planned to buy some gifts and go visit Teacher Wang, hoping to convince her to conceal his part in the affair.

He had just bought the items.

His mentor called him. "Student Chen, come to my office immediately. I have something urgent to discuss with you."

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Something urgent... Could it be that they were going to punish him because of the Lin Xuan matter?

"Teacher, may I ask what this is about?" Chen Mo asked.

"You'll know when you get here," the teacher said. "I can only tell you, it's going to be quite a show."

Hearing this, the weight in Chen Mo's heart lifted.

If it was a "good show," then there was a high probability that his research project had made progress.

Chen Mo looked excited. "Okay, Teacher, I'm coming over right away."

As soon as the mentor hung up the phone, the President walked in.

His face looked extremely dark and grim.

"President? Why have you come here?" The mentor's face was filled with confusion.

The President said with a cold face, "Go, go call Chen Mo over here for me."

"President, I just called Chen Mo. I believe he will be here very soon," the mentor replied.

"Hmph."

The President nodded and sat down on the sofa in her office.

The mentor frowned.

The President's expression was so dark; she wondered why he was in such a hurry to find Chen Mo...

The mentor didn't dare to ask the President, so she could only stand to the side.

Five minutes later.

Chen Mo appeared in front of the office.

Knock, knock, knock.

The office door was knocked upon.

"Come in," the mentor said.

Chen Mo pushed the door open and walked in.

At a glance, he saw the President sitting on the office sofa with a dark expression.

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Wasn't this the President?

Why would the President be here?

Chen Mo felt inexplicably apprehensive.

He bowed slightly and said, "President, Mentor."

He looked every bit like an obedient, good student.

The President of Shangqing University sized him up.

It really was a case of knowing the face but not the heart. Who could have imagined that this student, who looked so well-behaved on the surface, would be the kind of backstabber who would betray his alma mater and knife others in the back?

"Chen Mo, I originally wanted to talk to you about the research, but it just so happens the President has business with you," the mentor said kindly.

She had a fairly good impression of Chen Mo; he was hardworking, diligent, and his grades were quite good.

Basically, whatever she asked Chen Mo to do, he would do it. She didn't need to worry about him much.
