Chapter 304: Chapter 304: A Complete Turnaround
"It’s not me!" Mr. Bai said to the principal, "I cannot accept such a malicious act. I want to call the police! Please provide the ID of the informer, the internet is not a lawless place."
The principal was overwhelmed.
Who is Sheng Tang?
She is someone whom Mrs. Gu repeatedly instructed to take care of. Now that such a major incident has happened, the principal doesn’t know how to handle it.
And Bai Yongqing, a teacher he hired with a high salary, he wouldn’t want to lose Mr. Bai either.
"Mr. Bai, the school will help you clear your name," the principal said, "We’ve already investigated this ID, but couldn’t trace it. Just like the previous times, someone did it deliberately."
"But this is the school forum, it should be limited to the school intranet login."
"The forum is public, there’s nothing we can do." The principal was restless, considering whether to shut down the school forum.
These students, creating major issues all day long instead of studying properly.
"What good is clarifying through the school? Will the students believe it?" Mr. Bai’s face looked worse, "You are aware of how I treat my students, I’ve been working in the school for years."
"Of course I know!" The principal affirmed.
He indeed believed in Mr. Bai’s innocence.
But the problem now was, his belief was useless, and Mr. Bai wouldn’t be appeased by just a few kind words.
"I will immediately have someone delete the post and suppress this matter."
"It’s already out there, suppressing it will only fuel more rumors. How can I continue working in the school later?" Mr. Bai disagreed with deleting the post.
Deleting it would make it harder for him to explain.
Keeping that video and pictures gave him a chance to prove it wasn’t himself.
While they were at their wits’ end, Gu Jiahui looked at the video and shook his head with a smile.
At this moment, Gu Shiting was still unaware.
During class, he didn’t often check his phone, and he seldom visited the forum.
During the second-to-last class in the afternoon, Sheng Tang logged into the school forum using her main account and posted the video given to her by Gu Jiahui.
"If you want to frame me, use a smarter method and don’t involve innocent people!" She added this caption.
The video she posted was very clear.
The video also featured a male and a female, with the scene identical to the blurry video, even the surrounding buildings unchanged, but this time their faces were clearly visible.
The man was about twenty years old, despite his dyed white hair, he was not Mr. Bai; while the woman’s profile and hair resembled Sheng Tang, but the facial features were entirely different.
The video angles were the same, there was no possibility of alteration, the only difference being its clarity.
After class, the students habitually swarmed to watch the gossip, shocked at what they saw.
They were stunned.
And they felt a deep chill.
"This is a false accusation, it really is a false accusation, so terrible!"
"Where did they find two people who looked so much like Sheng Tang and Mr. Bai in the blurry footage!"
"Deliberate framing, how despicable!"
The turn of events left everyone dumbfounded.
The students were in an uproar.
During the last class of the afternoon, they couldn’t settle down, despite the teacher emphasizing classroom discipline multiple times.
It was not only Sheng Tang’s class but other classes as well.
"What’s going on with all of you?"
"Teacher, haven’t you seen the forum?"
The teachers paid attention and saw the turnaround, "During class, discuss it after class."
"Someone faked evidence, slandering a teacher and student having a scandal, and now it’s been exposed."
"Teacher, does such slander count as a crime?" a student asked.
The teacher was stumped by the question.
No one was happier than Mr. Bai about the turn of events.
Mr. Bai breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Having devoted himself to teaching, he nearly tainted his reputation late in his career, his heart almost stopping with fright, he finally breathed easy now.
Meanwhile, Bai Shaolin was extremely anxious.
Because Sheng Tang glanced at her and waved her phone at her.
The poster on the forum couldn’t be traced, but Bai Shaolin’s verbal slander against Sheng Tang was recorded by Sheng Tang.
