Chapter 124: Reversal

Xiao Ying was not anxious. She snorted and said, “You’re so fearless because you deleted the surveillance records, right?”

Chen Qiang still looked insulted as he said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Xiao Ying looked at Lu Lin and said, “Academician Lu, can I see the surveillance camera footage?”

Chen Qiang was the first to step forward and say, “I also support watching the surveillance to clear my name.”

With that, everyone believed him even more.

Lu Lin nodded. Soon, someone sent over a computer.

Xiao Ying turned on the surveillance camera. Sure enough, the surveillance cameras from 8 o’clock to 9 o’clock last night had disappeared.

Chen Qiang played the blame game. “Academician Xiao Ying, I didn’t expect you to destroy the surveillance records in order to frame me.”

Academician Wang, who was very famous, stood up and shouted angrily, “Enough! You guys are here to do research. Don’t waste your energy on this. The people who just arrived should behave themselves.”

The last words were directed at Xiao Ying.

Chen Qiang looked at her smugly and ran over to Academician Wang. He said, “Teacher.”

Xiao Ying’s fingers typed on the computer at a speed so fast that they could only see afterimages.

In less than five minutes, Xiao Ying pressed enter and stopped.

She said, “Let’s watch it again.”

Academician Wang’s expression darkened as he said, “Didn’t you hear me? This matter is over.”

Xiao Ying insisted, “Academician Wang, there are some things that should be cleared up.”

Academician Wang, who was being defied, said, “Then get the hell out of this team if you don’t have evidence.”

Xiao Ying’s expression did not change as she said, “Then if I show evidence, your beloved disciple will get the hell out of here.”

The two of them quickly made a bet.

Xiao Ying turned the surveillance records to 8 p.m. last night.

What had just been a screen of darkness now showed an image.

Chen Qiang’s expression changed as he tried his best to control his body.

The two boys hiding behind could not take it anymore. When they saw their faces appearing on the surveillance camera, they said in a panic, “That’s impossible. Brother Qiang, didn’t you delete it?”

As soon as they said this, everyone looked at Chen Qiang strangely.

Chen Qiang’s face twitched as he cursed his stupid teammates.

Before he could think of a way to explain, the surveillance cameras revealed their crimes one by one.

There was irrefutable evidence. It was too late for them to say anything.

Everyone glared at Chen Qiang and the others, anger from being deceived rising in their hearts.

Academician Wang looked embarrassed. He glared at Chen Qiang and snorted before walking away.

Chen Qiang hurriedly shouted, “Teacher, I know my mistake. You have to save me!”

Lu Lin watched all of this from the side and said angrily, “Enough! Chen Qiang, Li San, and Tian Liang are expelled from the research team.”

Before Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao could speak, Lu Lin had already driven Chen Qiang and the other two graduate students out of the team.

After being expelled by Lu Lin, this meant that the three of them would have no chance of remaining in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Lu Lin was merciless. He wrote their crimes clearly on their records.

They had deliberately harmed their colleagues and competed against them maliciously. These two conditions had practically given them the label of having low morals.

Chen Qiang had come to find Zhou Yao and knelt before him to admit his mistake, but he had not received any second chances.

Zhou Yao was a little surprised. He had not expected Lu Lin to help him.

Lu Lin saw his gaze and said angrily, “What’s wrong? Can’t a bad old man like me do something good again?”

He also knew public opinion of him was not good.

Zhou Yao pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lu Lin snorted and turned to leave.

This matter was settled. No one paid attention to it anymore, because new news had spread.

Elder Zheng was going to accept someone into his team.

Elder Zheng had always been a big shot at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Every time his team researched something new, it would always shock the world.

Forget about entering the team to become an official member. Even the competition to enter as an assistant was intense.

This was a rare opportunity.

Xiao Ying told this to Zhou Yao. Seeing that he was unmoved, she pouted and asked, “I really don’t know what you’re thinking.”

Zhou Yao looked at her, only having eyes for her.
