Chapter 752: Stained
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation , Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Rumors must have already spread in school.
Last night, he was busy cleaning up Zhou Hua’s mess and did not have the time to ask about the cause and effect.
He appeased Duan Wenguang’s parents first.
Fortunately, the two of them were from the countryside and were uneducated. He had already looked for several of Duan Wenguang’s roommates, and they would all have the same story.
He had also sent people to search Duan Wenguang’s dormitory and computer. There was nothing suspicious.
However, their son had died. He was also an outstanding son. It was impossible for them to let it go so easily.
Zheng Keke saw her father so angry and quickly went forward to comfort him, “Zhou Hua didn’t do it on purpose either. Who could have thought that Duan ’ Wenguang’s endurance was so lousy? Besides, it’s just a thesis.’1
“A thesis… just? You’re making it sound so easy.” Zheng Guo laughed. “Why don’t you write one for me to see?”
Zheng Keke was stumped.
“Starting from the second half of the year, you don’t have to take care of students anymore. Leave the research projects to others and just focus on your classes. If you have nothing to do, go home and help Keke take care of the child.” Zheng Guo said coldly.
Didn’t this mean that Zhou Hua was going to be taken over?
A professor who doesn’t teach students, doesn’t do research projects, and only teaches?
Then what value did he have?
“Dad, how could you do this?” Zheng Keke still wanted to fight for Zhou Hua. Zheng Guo sneered, “Do you still want him to harm a few more students? Or do you want Haohao to have a father in prison?”
Zheng Keke pursed her lips unwillingly, “Zhou Hua is so talented. We can’t just bury him like this.”
“Humph! Talent?” Zheng Guo sneered.
The meaning was self-evident.
Outside the principal’s office, Wu Qiuyun, who was about to knock on the door, slowly put down her hand.
From the principal’s words, he was going to clean up Zhou Hua’s mess this time?
This kind of thing, if it happened once, it would happen twice.
Wu Qiuyun’s expression was a little complicated. She seemed to be angry and guilty.
She turned around and slowly left the office.
Just as she walked out of the office building, Wu Qiuyun saw Ji Yuanyuan. Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes were so clear that she seemed to know everything. That gaze made Wu Qiuyun feel even more uncomfortable.
She turned her eyes away, not daring to look again.
Fifteen minutes later, Ji Yuanyuan and Wu Qiuyun were seated at the Blue Bay Cafe near the school.
At this time in the morning, there were not many people in the coffee shop. The two of them sat in the seats where they had met for the first time. When they first met, Wu Qiuyun was calm and collected, while Ji Yuanyuan was nervous.
But now, the two of them seemed to have switched places.
Wu Qiuyun looked at the coffee in front of her and sighed slightly.
The coffee was ordered by Ji Yuanyuan, who ordered a cup of cappuccino for her.
The coffee that young girls loved to drink.
Due to her age, although she always wanted to order it, she was always embarrassed.
Now that she thought about it, she always liked to put some inexplicable shackles on herself.
It was just a cup of coffee. How could it be divided into groups?
If you want to drink it, just drink it.
She picked up the coffee and took a big gulp.
She sighed in satisfaction. It was indeed much better than Americano.
“Teacher Wu, if the person you love committed a crime, what would you choose?” Ji Yuanyuan looked at Wu Qiuyun and suddenly asked.
Wu Qiuyun was stunned for a moment, “If it’s now, I’ll call the police.” “Yes, I will do it too.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “He had made a mistake and should be punished by the law. But I will accompany him, accompany him to atone for his sins, and accompany him to be punished.”
Wu Qiuyun smiled bitterly, “Unfortunately, I wasn’t as open-minded as you when I was young. I chose to cover for him.”
Ji Yuanyuan sighed in her heart. For a moment, she could not tell if she was disappointed or heartbroken.
When Cao Xiaorui was talking about those things, she saw Wu Qiuyun’s expression and combined it with the various signs from before. She had almost guessed it.
However, when her guess was confirmed, she found that she could not accept such an answer.
To her, Wu Qiuyun was not just her teacher.
She was also her friend, a close elder, her goal, and the person she wanted to become.
However, this person suddenly had a stain on her.
“I’ve only loved one person in my life, and that’s him. Our graduate supervisor is the same, so I’ve liked him since I was in my twenties. He had a long-lasting girlfriend at that time. I watched him get married and divorced with my own eyes. When we were in our thirties, we walked together. However, love from a young age will eventually be smoothed out by time.”
Wu Qiuyun’s hand unconsciously spun the coffee cup.
“Three years after we got together, Cheng Lin committed suicide because Zhou Hua took his thesis for himself and accused him of plagiarism. I wasn’t completely clueless at the time. When Cheng Lin handed the thesis to him, I was there. I knew very well that Cheng Lin had completed the thesis on his own. But in the end, Zhou Hua became the first author, and Cheng Lin was tainted.”
Cheng Lin was the student who committed suicide back then.
Ji Yuanyuan knew that being accused of plagiarism was a serious crime.
This meant that Cheng Lin would become a rat hated by everyone in the medical world.
Not to mention the past, just the undergraduate and postgraduate studies alone took eight years.
Eight years of hard work had gone to waste.
How many eight years could there be in a person’s life?
Moreover, Cheng Lin was from a poor family, so how could he have the chance to start over?
Therefore, he chose to commit suicide. Perhaps he thought his suicide could be exchanged for his innocence.
But in the end, he was still too naive.
“At that time, Zhou Lin was forty years old, and his status in the school was neither high nor low. He relied on the thesis that was included in the SCI to get a high standing in the industry. Cheng Lin’s life was forever fixed at the age of 20.”?????????????? &
“Why didn’t you call the police? If you call the police, at least everyone will know that Cheng Lin wrote that thesis and that he’s not a plagiarist.” Ji Yuanyuan asked hoarsely.
She did not understand why Wu Qiuyun, who she thought was sober in the human world, would make such an incomprehensible choice back then.
“At that time, I just thought that Cheng Lin was already dead. What was the use of clearing his name? Cheng Lin’s parents could at least get a sum of compensation if they maintained the status quo, and they would have someone to rely on for the rest of their lives. No matter whose name he uses, his thesis will be published, and everyone in the world will see it.”
“But when you went against your principles for Zhou Hua, he betrayed you, right? Ji Yuanyuan took a deep breath.
If it wasn’t for his daughter, would the principal let this matter go so easily?
Would he take the risk of committing a crime to clean up Zhou Hua’s mess?
“Yes, he betrayed me. But do you know what’s funny? After this incident, I tried to hate him and put myself in the position of a victim. But the truth was, I didn’t hate him. Instead, I heaved a sigh of relief. It’s true that I love him, and it’s also true that I don’t want to be with him.”
“Perhaps it’s not that you don’t want to, but you don’t dare to.” Ji Yuanyuan took a deep breath and whispered..
