Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Professor Meng Ke
Jiang Kerou’s eyes flickered, and she had already believed what Mo Jun had said. At that time, Professor Feng must have been slandering her, calling her research garbage.
However, Jiang Kerou did not stand up to testify nor say anything.
“Miss Luo, even if you truly conducted the research back then, it is only that we failed to recognize it, since you did not follow the usual sequence. And even if your master is Professor Meng Ke, it does not mean anything. Today, we are only investigating your actions, we just want to know if it was you who designed the theft of the data. After all, everything is too coincidental, those three people were brought by you, and your bodyguards happened to be three people as well, and only you were present here. Therefore, it is not wrong for us to suspect you, don’t you think?” Jiang Kerou stared at her, analyzing slowly and methodically.
“Kerou is absolutely right, we should focus on the facts. What we need to investigate today is whether you stole the items.”
“Right, don’t try to divert attention with other matters. We only want to know whether it was you who stole such important data.”
“Why would I steal?” Mo Jun coldly countered.
Song Ziqi blurted out, “Because you harbor resentment in your heart against Professor Feng and my cousin, you deliberately sabotaged their plan!”
Mo Jun couldn’t help but scoff in disdain, “Just because Professor Feng didn’t accept me, I’m supposed to bear a grudge? Song Ziqi, do you think everyone is as narrow-minded as you?! As for Miss Jiang, I haven’t spoken a word to her, there is no feud, what grudge would I hold against her? If I were to hold a grudge, it should be against you, who has repeatedly provoked and slandered me, don’t you think?”
“Indeed, there’s no need for our Miss Mo Jun to bear a grudge against those two. Moreover, we just saved them. If we were intent on harming anyone, why would we stay at the scene to be caught in the act? And why would we save them?” Yun Long also reasoned lucidly.
The others were momentarily taken aback.
They seemed to have a point…
Unconvinced, Song Ziqi retorted, “Just because you haven’t targeted me, doesn’t mean you won’t. Who knows if I’m not your next target! And who’s to say you didn’t pretend to be the good guys just to clear your name? Besides, both Professor Feng and my cousin suspect you, so you are suspects.”
“Is this also what the two of you think?” Mo Jun inquired of Feng Shuguo and Jiang Kerou.
Feng Shuguo adopted an air of authority and said, “I only care about facts. Indeed, you are the prime suspects.”
Jiang Kerou said hesitantly, “Miss Luo, I too care only about the facts.”
“You, you’re going too far! After we even saved you!” Lin Feng shouted angrily, on the verge of losing his restraint to draw his sword.
All of a sudden, Mo Jun said coldy, “Professor Feng, Miss Jiang, I never regret saving people. But I can’t prevent people from turning into ghosts, just as I can make ghosts regret slandering me! Since you want evidence, I’ll give it to you right now…”
Mo Jun had just started speaking when suddenly, a thin figure squeezed into the crowd.
Seeing that characteristic explosion of hair, everyone was taken aback.
Mo Jun and the others were also surprised. Professor Meng Ke, why had he come?
The others were equally astonished.
Professor Meng Ke rarely involved himself with any school matters and almost never left the lab, so why had he suddenly appeared here?
Everyone looked at him as if he was a marvel as rare as a peepshow.
“Professor, why are you here?” Mo Jun immediately softened her expression and walked forward to ask with curiosity.
