Hearing Xia Sanghuan's words, Professor He's expression tightened.
"There's no exact evidence so far pointing to you as the murderer. And your current actions will only be seen by them as a sign of guilt."
"Although your intention is good, it's like pushing yourself into a pit of fire. Sanghuan, I advise you to think twice before doing something."
He put away his usual calm demeanor. It was rare for her to see Professor He looking so serious.
"Professor, I've already mentally prepared myself for all these things."
"We are upright and unafraid of false accusations, but it doesn't mean that some ill - intentioned people won't take advantage of this incident to stir up trouble and kick us when we're down."
"Moreover, you're a titan in the medical field. There are simply too many people jealous of you. So..."
She stopped halfway and swallowed the rest of her words.
Professor He naturally understood what she meant.
After all, having reached his position, his experience was surely no less than hers.
As if recalling some unpleasant memories, Professor He fell silent.
After a long while, he nodded with some difficulty.
"Okay."
"However, I think we should think about our words before going. And we don't know what the principal's attitude is."
"He hasn't even shown up until now."
"It's already a huge commotion outside. The principal can't be unaware of what's going on."
Leng Chuanjin added.
"Logically, to minimize the losses, the school should issue a statement immediately."
"Why has he chosen to do nothing?"
He murmured, as if talking to himself.
"Guessing here won't lead to any results. We might as well go directly to his office."
"We just don't know if he's on campus now."
Xia Sanghuan sighed, took her coat from the hanger, and changed out of her white coat.
Professor He also put down his cup and stood up.
"He should be here."
"There are a lot of things for him to handle near the end of the semester."
As they were talking, they walked towards the door.
"Wait."
Leng Chuanjin called out to them.
"What's wrong, Second Brother? It'll be too late if we don't go now."
Remembering the crowd he had encountered on the way, he found it hard to speak.
Noticing his look, Xia Sanghuan roughly understood what he meant.
"It's okay."
"This is a school. They won't dare to do anything excessive."
Seeing her resolute attitude, he had no choice but to nod.
"I'll walk in front of you."
The man sighed.
"At least I can shield you."
Although she had mentally prepared herself, when the girl saw the crowd blocking the downstairs, her heart still skipped a beat.
Leng Chuanjin frowned and clicked his tongue.
There were even more people than when he first arrived, and the situation was getting tricky.
Yun Ye walked in the front to push aside the crowd, while he raised his arm to cover the girl's face.
She pulled the hood of her coat over her head, lowered her head, and silently followed behind him.
To avoid causing a bigger commotion, Professor He was still in the research lab at this time. He would go to the principal's office to meet them after they led the crowd away.
Leng Chuanjin pushed aside yet another arm blocking his way with some difficulty. Suddenly, a microphone was thrust in front of him out of the blue.
"Mr. Leng, could you briefly explain why you're covering up for Miss Xia?"
He looked up at Yun Ye and found that he was completely trapped by the crowd and couldn't get away.
He gave the reporter a cold look and said,
"Stay away from me."
The reporter ignored him and stubbornly held the microphone towards him.
"I told you to stay away from me."
"Can't you hear?"
He felt that he was about to lose his temper.
Xia Sanghuan quickly reached out and pulled him.
"Second Brother, don't be impulsive."
She said in a voice that only they could hear.
"Just ignore him. I'll talk to him."
"What are you going to say...?"
Before the man could react, the girl nimbly twisted her body like a cat and squeezed through the gap in the crowd.
She walked up to the reporter without hesitation.
"Ask me if you have any questions."
"I'm not familiar with the eldest young master of the Leng family. There's no need to involve him."
From the reports, it seemed that the other party didn't intend to expose Leng Chuanjin.
From the texts to the videos and recordings, everything was aimed at her alone.
But why did they emphasize that she was the eldest young lady of the Fu family?
Did it mean that the other party's target was not just herself, but the entire Fu family?
Her expression remained as calm as ever, but her heart was in turmoil.
"However, from your actions just now, it doesn't seem like you're 'not familiar' as you claim."
"Helping a vulnerable lady is a basic courtesy for every gentleman. What, don't you have such qualities?"
Facing this girl who claimed to be a "vulnerable lady" but had extremely sharp words, the reporter was momentarily speechless.
"If there's nothing important, I'll take my leave."
"I advise you to leave first. It won't look good if you're thrown out by the security guards."
Seeing that the other party didn't say a word, she pressed on.
The reporter looked back along her line of sight and found that the security captain was indeed leading a group of people towards them.
He gritted his teeth and reluctantly led the cameraman to run away along another path.
Seeing that the reporter had finally left, the girl let out a sigh of relief.
However, most of the people on the scene had already turned their gazes towards her.
Not to mention that she was the protagonist of this incident, just the imposing manner she showed when confronting the reporter was eye - catching.
The noisy voices gradually died down. She was like a handful of fish food thrown into a pond, and the "fish" were discussing who would get to devour her.
She pursed her lips tightly, straightened her back, and walked briskly towards the office building as if she didn't notice them.
At the same time, she secretly put her hand behind her back and waved to Leng Chuanjin.
Don't follow me.
He wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Yun Ye.
Yun Ye pretended to support him while whispering in his ear,
"Calm down, Young Master Leng! Miss Xia has her own reasons for doing this. Trust her."
The man watched the girl's receding back, and his heart sank continuously.
But now there were so many pairs of eyes watching him, watching his next move.
All of Xia Sanghuan's actions just now were to get him out of this matter and prevent others from suspecting him.
If he rushed over recklessly now, all her efforts would be in vain.
