Chapter 8: Lu Qingli clears Lin Xun's name

The next morning.

As expected, Lin Xun was reported to the department by He Dongcheng.

It even escalated to the point where the police came.

However, because the location where Lin Xun acted yesterday was a blind spot for surveillance cameras, and it would take some time to collect evidence, he wasn't overly troubled.

"Lin Xun, just you wait! In less than two days, I'll find witnesses, and then your life will be over!"

He Dongcheng, with his pig-like face bandaged, glared at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun, however, smiled brightly.

"You're right, He Dongcheng, it won't be more than two days."

Back at school, he happened to run into the dance club rehearsing at the Student Activities Center.

Among the crowd, he instantly spotted an exceptionally striking figure.

It was the campus belle, Meng Qin.

She had a ponytail, a delicate oval face, a high nose bridge, well-proportioned features, and especially those large, dark beautiful eyes.

No matter when you looked at them, you would be deeply drawn in.

Although she wore the club's uniform dance dress, she effortlessly captivated everyone in the crowd.

Her ethereal aura, every gesture, made people feel as if she were a fairy.

Just this one glance led Lin Xun to an unprecedented decision.

He absolutely had to get her to join the "Noah's Ark"!

Meng Qin was accustomed to being the center of attention; whether she was rehearsing a dance or performing in any show, large crowds would always gather for her.

But when she saw Lin Xun staring at her in the crowd today, she unconsciously felt a little uncomfortable.

She had seen this person on the internet and on the campus wall.

Previously, her image always dominated the campus wall.

However, recently, her popularity had been overshadowed by a strange man.

Thinking about the content online, Meng Qin couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted.

She hated strange people the most; she had encountered far too many strange people.

Some wanted to spend a fortune to keep her, others wanted to buy her personal belongings, and some even used explicit and direct language.

Noticing Meng Qin's slightly disgusted look, Lin Xun didn't care in the slightest.

When the rehearsal ended.

Everyone watched Meng Qin from afar; even if they had thoughts about her, they didn't dare to approach.

But one figure walked unhesitatingly directly in front of Meng Qin.

"Classmate, may I ask which dormitory you're in?"

The speaker was, of course, Lin Xun.

The Building Area where Meng Qin's dormitory was located was precisely the "Noah's Ark" he had already claimed.

He needed to know which floor and room Meng Qin lived in.

This way, after the Apocalyptic Game descended, he could directly recruit her.

Meng Qin was already used to people like Lin Xun; sure enough, he was another pervert.

But she spoke nonchalantly: "406, do you want to come?"

Anyway, she knew Lin Xun couldn't go.

Seeing that Meng Qin had extended an invitation, Lin Xun naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

"In a couple of days, it's not quite suitable right now."

A captivating smile couldn't help but appear on Meng Qin's delicate face.

"Then I'll be waiting for you."

After speaking, she walked away.

What a boast. If Lin Xun really had the ability to get to her dormitory, she'd even perform a strip dance for him on the spot.

But this was simply impossible.

Watching Meng Qin gradually walk away, Lin Xun chuckled softly.

You said that.

"A toad wants to eat swan meat; he should pee and look in the mirror first."

"Exactly, a fool still wants to pursue the campus belle."

"But then again, fools have fool's luck; he actually got to talk to the campus belle."

Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Xun silently had the system record the information of these people, then left without a care.

At this moment, inside the school Gymnasium, the concert facilities had already been set up.

Tickets had also sold out early.

"Lin Xun, I managed to get two concert tickets, let's go watch tonight."

On the playground, Lin Xun was looking for good-looking schoolmates when An Ran happily ran up to him, handing him two tickets.

He looked at An Ran somewhat surprised: "Class Monitor, I can't believe my twenty years of single-hand speed lost to yours, and twice!"

Of course, he had tried to grab tickets when they went on sale, after all, two peerless beauties from the entertainment industry were coming, which was too important for him who needed to recruit people to live in.

But, he just refreshed once.

The three words "Sold Out" hit him like a hammer.

Was this something a human could even get?

"Actually, I bought them from a scalper. I just thought it would be boring, so we could go together."

Lin Xun wasn't pretentious and readily accepted.

It would be a good opportunity for the system to evaluate the attractiveness level of Luo Mengxue, the leader of the 207 girl group, and Ruo Yan, the once-in-a-millennium goddess.

Just then, Lin Xun and An Ran suddenly noticed.

Everyone who passed by them was pointing and whispering.

Lin Xun was already used to it.

But An Ran found that these people were also pointing at her.

She was initially confused, but when she opened her phone, she discovered that she and Lin Xun were on the short video trending list.

The title was: Shanghai University's Cheating Couple.

When she opened the video content, it made her even angrier.

Not only was there slanderous content about Lin Xun, but there was also content spreading false rumors about her, claiming she had cheated on her previous boyfriend with Lin Xun.

But she had never been in a relationship.

When she saw that the self-proclaimed narrator was He Dongcheng, An Ran was so angry she was almost in tears.

To get revenge on her, He Dongcheng had spread false rumors about her again.

Lin Xun naturally saw it, and seeing the tears in An Ran's eyes, he comforted her.

"Class Monitor, after tonight, all these people will be punished."

At midnight tonight, the Apocalyptic Game would descend on time.

By then, all evil-doers would pay the price.

And for the instigator, Lin Xun would make him repay it twofold.

An Ran gently wiped away her tears and nodded.

Inside the department office.

Lu Qingli submitted a letter of resignation to Dean Zhao Xuri.

Zhao Xuri frowned as he read the contents of the resignation letter.

"Giving up your future for such a small matter? Are you crazy?"

Zhao Xuri never expected it.

Just because he pressured Lu Qingli to complete the apology task regarding the Lin Xun incident.

Lu Qingli had submitted a resignation letter.

"Perhaps in the eyes of a big shot like you, this is a trivial matter."

"But in my eyes, this is an untouchable bottom line, because my student is not wrong!"

Lu Qingli was exceptionally resolute.

In the past few days, as a New Media Ph.D., she had thoroughly investigated and analyzed the entire incident, clarifying its causes and consequences.

She confirmed that it was undeniably a smear campaign.

She had also uploaded a video online thoroughly arguing that Lin Xun was not wrong, but it didn't make any waves.

The only few comments were cursing her.

"Still trying to defend him? If you're defending someone like that, you must not be a good person either."

"People like you should also die."

She was completely relieved.

As a new media mentor, she personally felt the powerlessness in the face of public opinion.

Zhao Xuri could clearly hear the sarcasm in Lu Qingli's words.

"Have you thought it through? You're a girl with no background and no support. It wasn't easy for you to get such a valuable position. If you resign like this, no other school will want you in the future."

Zhao Xuri's voice was a bit cold. Lu Qingli bit her lip lightly, how could she not hear the slightly threatening content in his words.

But in these two days, she had already considered all the consequences.

She was indeed conflicted, but she didn't want to go against her own heart.

"I've thought it through very clearly."

Zhao Xuri's face grew darker. He had originally intended to threaten Lu Qingli into obediently complying.

Who knew Lu Qingli didn't take it seriously at all.

"Xiao Lu, actually, this matter can be discussed. The school's goal is to quell this public opinion."

"How about this, we won't make Lin Xun record a video; he just needs to write a letter of apology."

Since coercion didn't work, Zhao Xuri chose to compromise.

Lu Qingli's position as a counselor was still very important for now, and it would be difficult for the school to find a replacement in a short time.

"I think you must be mistaken. It's He Dongcheng and the entire student council who should write the apology letter."
