Everyone was stunned, including Yu Meimei. "Impossible... Absolutely impossible! You lied to me! You stole my place to study abroad! If the professor had written a letter of recommendation for me, you would never have gotten the place to study abroad!"

Qiao Chu looked at Yu Meimei with disdain. "There's indeed only one publicly funded place. Yes, our professors have a good international reputation. A letter of recommendation from one of their students is enough for you to get a scholarship abroad and some work subsidies for your doctoral studies."

"It's clearly a simple matter, so why didn't Professor Xie write it for you? Do you think Professor Xie, with her demeanor, would embarrass you? She's clearly protecting you! Because the more you apply, the more times you'll be scrutinized, and the fact that your grandfather defected abroad won't be hidden anymore."

"Not only can you not leave the country, but it's also impossible for you to find a good job in China. Professor Xie's good intentions were suppressed by using his personal connections. Not only did he not receive your gratitude, but you even slandered him."

"But from what I know about you, you're a very cautious person. You wouldn't necessarily do anything that would harm others and benefit yourself. Someone must have promised you that if you reported Professor Xie, they would help you go abroad!"

Yu Meimei suddenly looked up, "No, that's absolutely not the case! You're lying to me! If it were true, Professor Zheng wouldn't have told me such an important thing."

Qiao Chu rolled his eyes. "I didn't know it originally. I heard it when Professor Xie was on the phone with someone. She thinks you haven't seen the defected grandfather. After all, your father was just born that year and doesn't even remember your grandfather, let alone you!"

"So Professor Xie tried to suppress this matter as much as possible and first allow you to get a very good job in China as an outstanding graduate with a master's degree."

Yu Meimei's face turned pale and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

She pulled Qiao Chu away like a madman and rushed out.

Wang Heng asked cautiously, "Senior Sister Qiao, is what you said true?"

Qiao Chu nodded, "It's true! Professor Xie didn't say it, I overheard it."

Zhang Susu was anxious, "Then let's not dawdle any longer and call Professor Xie right away!"

Qiao Chu nodded. "Eat something first and keep an eye on the lab! Close the door from the inside. Don't open it until I come back! To prevent anyone from disrupting and destroying our lab."

Zhang Heng and Tang Cheng nodded quickly. "Don't worry, we've got you covered! Senior Sister Qiao, call the teacher right away! Let her be prepared."

Qiao Chu hurried away, went to a public phone booth, and called Professor Xie. "Teacher, right now at school... the six of us just reviewed the situation in the lab, and the person most likely to have reported you is Yu Meimei! Under our questioning, she basically admitted to reporting you. She resents you because she didn't get a place to study abroad at public expense, nor did she get your letter of recommendation!"

Professor Xie's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "Yu Meimei?"

Qiao Chu nodded. "Judging from their reactions, it should be! Teacher, I'll have my junior brothers and sisters stay in the lab! On the one hand, they can continue the experiment, and on the other hand, they can keep outsiders out to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation!"

Professor Xie smiled and said, "Qiao Chu, well done. I've got it figured out. I'll go back to school right away."

Qiao Chu was worried, "Teacher, are you really okay?"

Professor Xie laughed again, "Qiao Chu, you've been with me for three years. Do you think the teacher is that kind of person?"

Qiao Chu shook his head, "Of course not, I believe the teacher."

Professor Xie nodded. "Just trust me. I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people. Although Yu Meimei discussed the paper with me face to face and not via email, I still have evidence to prove my innocence. Go back to the lab first. I'll be right back."

"Okay!" Qiao Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "Teacher, we'll wait for you."

Qiao Chu hung up the phone and hurried back to the laboratory.

Wang Heng asked, "Senior, what did the professor say?"

Qiao Chu replied, "The teacher will be here soon. He told us to keep an eye on the lab and not let anyone in."

"That's good." Wang Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Someone from the student union just came over and asked to come in and move some materials, but we refused. They didn't have access cards, and we locked the door from the inside, so they couldn't get in."

Qiao Chu was stunned, "Who is it?"

Tang Cheng quickly answered, "I'm an undergraduate student and used to work in the student union. The current president of the student union is Xu Mengfan, who I heard is Vice President Xu's nephew. The person who just came with a bulging belly seems to be him."

"The academic committee is supposed to be investigating academic misconduct, so why would it be someone from the Student Union?" Zhang Susu scratched her head, puzzled. "I'm increasingly feeling something's amiss. Everyone's using the Storming Method. Do they have other motives?"

Several people looked at each other and said, "If their real purpose is not to frame Professor Xie, then are they trying to steal our laboratory's secrets?"

Qiao Chu was stunned. "Our special medicine for treating lung disease seems to be... it seems to be successful."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people came to the research laboratory, all brought by Xu Mengfan.

"Open the door, we want to go in and assist in investigating Professor Xie's academic misconduct." Xu Mengfan's voice rang out.

Qiao Chu looked at Xu Mengfan and sneered, "You are not qualified. Director Li of the Academic Committee is qualified!"

Xu Mengfan frowned, "I was sent by Principal Xu."

"It's useless even if you're sent by the gods." Qiao Chu retorted, "No matter how much I say, you're not qualified. If you force your way in, the equipment in this lab is worth hundreds of millions. It's not the school's property, it's Professor Xie's personal property. If you break it, even if you cut off all the fat on your body, you won't be able to pay for it."

Xu Mengfan knew Qiao Chu, "Qiao Chu, don't you want to graduate?"

Qiao Chu laughed heartily. "What does my ability to graduate have to do with you, a piece of shit Student Union President? Just because I call you Chairman Xu, you're the real chairman? I ignore you, you're shit. Don't even mention you're Director Xu's nephew. Even if you're Director Xu's biological son, you don't qualify to come in."

"Everyone, come with me in." Xu Mengfan didn't want to waste time talking to Qiao Chu. He had to get the key data of the special medicine.

Qiao Chu quickly said, "Classmates, you are college students. Think carefully, is what you are doing illegal? No matter what Xu Mengfan promised you, as a student, the most important thing is to study, not to fool around with others."

"Who doesn't know Professor Xie's reputation at our university? Such a highly respected professor has been slandered. Even if we investigate, think about it, is it your turn to investigate? Is the Academic Committee just there to do nothing? Professor Xie has already called the police. Are you police officers just for show?"

Tang Cheng used to work in the student union and was the deputy director of the Propaganda Department. "Classmates, don't be coerced. Xu Mengfan has the protection of the principal, but what about you? Whatever you do, think about what benefits it will bring to you. Don't let others use you as a tool and make you a fool!"
