“The video has already been released, and you still refuse to admit it? You said that we should wait until the fingerprint results are out. But who knows? You might have worn gloves and did not leave your fingerprints on the test papers!”
The students whispered among themselves, and their strange gazes fell on Shen Hanxing and the dean.
“Alright, you guys shut up.” The homeroom teacher frowned and she slapped the table. She said, “The dean is an upright person and loves his students wholeheartedly. How could he do such a thing? The truth of the matter has yet to be revealed. Don’t jump to conclusions.”
“There are already videos to prove it. What other conclusion do we need?” A student mixed in with the crowd muttered softly.
“That’s right. This is so dirty. How could there be such a person in our school?! Dragging down our school’s reputation like that, how disgusting!” The other students also voiced out. As students who were about to graduate, they were not that afraid of the homeroom teacher. No matter how many times the homeroom teacher tried to suppress them, she was unable to stop them.
Bai Ling was also looking at her phone. The netizens on the social media platform were also excited. One after another, they told Shen Hanxing and the homeroom teacher to get out of the school. There were even people asking, “What about Ji Yan? Does he care if his wife is cheating on him?”
After seeing these comments, Bai Ling finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Shen Hanxing, now that the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you want? I absolutely won’t allow myself to become classmates with people like you. I demand that the school immediately deal with Shen Hanxing’s expulsion!” The school was the Holy Land in her heart. The school was a place to learn and gain knowledge, but Shen Hanxing had made this place a mess.
“Dean, I’m very disappointed in you.” Bai Ling’s gaze fell on the dean, her eyes burning with anger. Her voice was firm as she said, “I demand that the school expel the dean and Shen Hanxing. I’m ashamed to be in the same school as these two people. If the school chooses to protect them, I’ll apply to withdraw from school!”
“Older Sister!” Shen Sisi’s heart was beating exceptionally fast. Ever since Shen Hanxing had taken her place to marry Ji Yan, Shen Sisi’s life had changed. She, who used to have a bright, beautiful, and smooth-sailing life, met with an existence like a fishbone in her throat. Whenever she faced Shen Hanxing, she had never been able to gain any advantage and she kept getting humiliated. But this time, she was finally able to step on Shen Hanxing. Shen Haxing would never be able to turn the tables!
Shen Sisi’s face, which was covered by a mask, lifted sharply, but she put on a worried gaze. Shen Sisi advised, “Older Sister, it’s better for you to drop out of school. Si Cheng High School is the Holy Land in the hearts of many students. This is a place where they focus on their studies. You can’t destroy it with such dirty methods. And…” as she spoke, Shen Sisi’s gaze gradually became firm. She raised her head and looked straight at Shen Hanxing. Then, she said, “As a member of Si Cheng High School, I absolutely won’t allow anyone to tarnish our hundred-year-old reputation and bring shame to the school. Even if you are my older sister, I still have to do this. I won’t be classmates with someone like you!”
Shen Sisi raised her head and spoke with passion. It was as though she was truly fighting for justice. She declared, “Please expel the school dean and Shen Hanxing. Otherwise, I, Shen Sisi, will also automatically apply to drop out of school!”
Young people were the easiest to be instigated. The other students who were influenced by Bai Ling and Shen Sisi also spoke passionately. “Yes! Me too. If they’re not expelled, I will also withdraw from the school!”
“And us!”
“Us too!”
“Expel! Expel! Expel!”
One after another, the rallying cries directly dragged Shen Hanxing and the dean to the gallows. As they chanted in unison, the dean’s face turned pale. The light in his eyes completely extinguished, and he instantly aged ten years. These students… were students that he loved from the bottom of his heart and cared about as much as his own children. Now, they were united in order to drive him out of this school.
His innocent and honest life had been destroyed in an instant. The dean opened his mouth, but he could not say a word. His heart was filled with pain and despair.
Faced with this kind of momentum, the coldness in Shen Hanxing’s eyes became even more intense. The person behind all of this wanted to force her into a desperate situation and not give her any chance to make a comeback. Now that the students were so agitated, she should have left the school temporarily. However, if she left just like that, she would have had no problem, but what about the dean? He had to face pressure from society, the school, and his family.
With no way to defend himself, how much ridicule and strange looks would the dean have to endure? A teacher who worked so hard for his students should not have to endure all of this.
“Be quiet.” Shen Hanxing raised her hand with a cold expression, trying to interrupt the rallying cries to expel them.
