.

　　Although I refused the dean's proposal decisively, I was still worried that he would really withhold my graduation certificate.

　　If I lose my graduation certificate, my years at university would be in vain.

　　No organization would be willing to hire me in the future.

　　How can I face the expectations of my parents and fellow villagers? Because of this, I have been worried all day long.

　　But things quickly took a turn.

　　The leaders of the municipal education bureau came to our school for an inspection.

　　All the people involved in the "anniversary event" were called in for questioning.

　　In front of the leaders, the two parties stuck to their own stories.

　　Shen Qian, as usual, had a poor way with words and appeared shy and timid.

　　She held her arms around herself, lowered her gaze to the ground, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

　　She portrayed herself as a victim, whispering about her experience: "That day, everyone went to participate in the anniversary celebration.

　　He took advantage of the empty office building and tricked me into going to the office, saying that he needed my help to organize the credit assessment form.

　　But as soon as I entered, he locked the door behind me.

　　When I realized what was happening, it was already too late...

　　" "You're talking nonsense! Leader, you shouldn't believe her.

　　She willingly followed me into the office," Shen Qian was interrupted by Xia Tian, who was furious.

　　Xia Tian's originally fair complexion turned red, and his face was filled with anger.

　　The veins on his forehead bulged, like an angry lion.

　　He kept cursing at Shen Qian, calling her a fraud.

　　Spittle flew everywhere.

　　The leader frowned at his foul language.

　　He had truly lost all sense of professional ethics.

　　"Trash!" I cursed silently in my heart.

　　The stark contrast between the two made Shen Qian seem even more pitiful.

　　Anyone who saw this would have their sense of justice tilt towards Shen Qian.

　　The leader quietly exchanged opinions with the staff around him.

　　The dean hurriedly stepped forward: "We shouldn't solely rely on Shen Qian's testimony to determine the facts of this matter.

　　We should listen to the testimonies of other students as well in order for you to have a clearer understanding of the situation." The leader pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "We should indeed listen to the opinions of other students." Bai Jingjing and Liu Xue were eager to take the stage when they heard that it was their turn.

　　They immediately became spirited.

　　The two of them passionately acted out a scene, maligning Shen Qian with great emotion.

　　They said that Shen Qian had a chaotic personal life and often stayed out all night.

　　They also defended Xia Tian's innocence.

　　The dean nodded approvingly upon hearing this.

　　The leader listened attentively while recording the information provided by the two.

　　The two of them continued for half an hour without stopping, listing various "evidence" against Shen Qian until they couldn't come up with more.

　　They even mentioned how they "kindly" drove away mosquitoes for Shen Qian, but she ended up pouring their dinner into the toilet.

　　Seeing that they were getting more and more outrageous, the dean kept signaling to them with his eyes, trying to stop them from continuing.

　　But the dean's eyes were tired and twitching, and these two fools did not understand his hint.

　　The leader initially listened attentively, but as he listened, he felt that something was off.

　　He suspected that they were fabricating the story and felt like he was being played.

　　However, Bai Jingjing was still immersed in her own world.

　　In the end, it was Liu Xue who noticed that the leader's expression was getting increasingly unpleasant, almost dripping with gloom.

　　She quickly tugged at Bai Jingjing's clothes and finally made her stop.

　　The leader stood up angrily and said, "Is this what you call evidence? It's nonsense! I believe that Teacher Xia is responsible for this incident.

　　The Education Bureau will take disciplinary action against him.

　　Before the official document is issued, it would be best for your school to suspend him and keep him under observation!" After speaking, the leader picked up his briefcase and prepared to report back to the office.

　　Before I could applaud, the dean rushed forward and put his hand on the doorknob, blocking the leader's path -
