Chapter 1527 - 1516: Avenging My Sister

Chapter 1527: Chapter 1516: Avenging My Sister

When the original manuscript of Zhan Yao appeared on the big screen, Li Zhihua could no longer refute it. She looked lost and out of her depth, her face full of panic. She gazed helplessly at the angry or mocking eyes around her, desperately wanting to escape from this place.

No one stopped her, but the camera continuously recorded her embarrassed figure. The evidence was irrefutable, and she herself had nothing more to say. There was no need to further explain the truth.

The audience witnessed the truth with their own eyes, and everyone was extremely indignant. They looked at Fenghua’s work and Zhan Yao’s appearance before her death, and no one felt anything but pity for her.

Such a talent was ruined by this malicious woman, Li Zhihua. If Zhan Yao were still alive, what brilliant creations could she have made? Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Fortunately, Ye Qiu, who was also wronged and plagiarized by her, is still here. Thankfully, this genius was not destroyed by her. Just a little bit more, how many of them had insulted Ye Qiu? Thankfully, Ye Qiu was resilient, and luckily, she met Jian Lifan in time.

The director noticed that Jian Lifan had not finished speaking and signaled for the camera to continue pointing at him. Jian Lifan looked at the camera and said seriously, "I found out that Zhan Yao and Ye Qiu were expelled and given a major demerit due to plagiarism. Now that I’ve proved their innocence, I hope A University can give them justice."

After hearing this, netizens also tagged A University’s official account. The operations team at A University, understanding that this matter could not be easily resolved, immediately notified the principal, as it concerned the school’s honor.

It doesn’t need to be said how furious the principal was upon knowing this. The two teachers who had been bribed by Li Zhihua were now uneasy, and although Zhan Yao died due to the slander, they had quickly helped Li Zhihua handle the incident. How could this story not be unearthed?

Their worries were not unfounded. The world never lacks fair-minded netizens and truth-seeking masses. A nationally renowned university having someone die under suspicious circumstances yet not causing any ripples and quickly closing the case made it hard not to suspect. A University found itself in the eye of a public storm.

Not only the school administration, but the students were also exceptionally angry. Li Zhihua was one of their students and had previously been labeled the pride of A University. Now, being exposed for this, wasn’t it a slap in their face? She unwarrantedly lowered the school’s image in everyone’s eyes. Being a part of the school, all shared in the disgrace, so now everyone hated Li Zhihua with a passion.

The TV program aired live in the evening. Despite most school leaders being off work, the principal still called an immediate meeting. This matter needed to be dealt with quickly, and there had to be a fair explanation to everyone, which would be the only way to restore the school’s image.

At the meeting, the principal and the secretary were extremely furious, especially about how Zhan Yao’s case was handled and the teachers who vouched for Li Zhihua. Each was reprimanded and required to make a self-critique.

Who among those reprimanded didn’t now resent Li Zhihua? Would the reprimands from the principal and secretary perhaps affect their future positions? A single mistake nearly ruined their careers.

The two teachers who took money from Li Zhihua were somewhat more resigned since they had received benefits, but those misled later were completely deceived. How could innocent people not take their anger out on Li Zhihua?

It’s still uncertain how A University will handle it, but with the evidence indisputable, disciplinary actions against Li Zhihua are inevitable. The TV broadcast continued, and since Li Zhihua plagiarized, the program team directly removed her score. The person who had given Li Zhihua high marks and Ye Qiu low marks was now in an awkward position, unsure of what to do, but no one present sympathized with him.

Jian Lifan, along with other judges and the program team, discussed, "Since Zhan Yao left only the original manuscript back then, and I handled the modifications, including the production and styling choices, comparing them to other contestants would be unfair. I suggest awarding her a special prize instead of a ranking. How about that?"

His words made sense, as he was a respected figure in Hua Country’s fashion circle. Since he had modified and personally overseen those things, comparing them to newcomers was indeed unfair. After some discussion, they decided not to rank Zhan Yao but to award her a special contribution prize.

Thus, Ye Qiu undoubtedly became the first place winner. Thinking of the scores Li Zhihua obtained using her designs, the audience was amazed. Just what kind of genius was she? Fortunately, Teacher Jian Lifan discovered her, or else everyone would have lost her just like Zhan Yao.

Without any controversy, Ye Qiu won the gold medal. Watching people celebrate and cheer for her and her sister Zhan Yao, she finally felt a sense of relief in her heart. However, it wasn’t over, as the cause of her sister’s death was still unclear. She was determined to ensure Li Zhihua ended up in prison.

After the competition, Ye Qiu reported to the police because Li Zhihua’s actions had already infringed upon her reputation and interests. This matter couldn’t be easily resolved with just a school disposition or Li Zhihua’s remorse and apology.

After a series of twists and turns, the event finally concluded, with the director bidding Ye Qiu and Jian Lifan farewell with a grin, as tonight had brought the highest ratings of all his programs so far.

The students of A University left the classroom with complex expressions, and almost everyone was discussing today’s events. It was clear how much slander Zhan Yao and Ye Qiu had suffered at school before, and the situation would only intensify once Li Zhihua returned.

Because she was truly vile, treating everyone like fools.

Xia Meng and Yu You exchanged glances in silence. Actually, it was mainly because Xia Meng had nothing to say. She had always spoken ill of Ye Qiu and staunchly supported Li Zhihua, even to the point of flattery. But she never thought the truth was like this; reality felt like a harsh slap.

Seeing someone she once looked down on become someone beyond her reach, Xia Meng felt unbalanced. She had no reason to resent Ye Qiu, which only made her hate Li Zhihua and Li Si Yue even more. If not for them, would she feel this level of embarrassment?

Li Zhihua hastily fled the television station, and even Li Si Yue couldn’t find her. But now, Li Si Yue didn’t know what to do, realizing what kind of person her cousin was. She couldn’t accept it internally and didn’t want to find her.

But go back? Given her previous promotion, everyone knew she was Li Zhihua’s cousin. Wouldn’t she be laughed at if she returned? People might even transfer their hatred for her cousin onto her. She didn’t want to go back to school.
