When the students heard this, they were stunned and stopped.

If they followed him in and damaged the equipment, that would be bad indeed. On the other hand, if they followed Xu Mengfan and started a fight, it wouldn't do any good either. After all, they didn't have the power.

Seeing that no one else dared to move, Xu Mengfan became anxious: "Let's all go in together. The law doesn't punish everyone together!"

"Then why don't you charge in and let us?" someone said in the crowd. "Even if everyone gets the information inside, can you understand it? Besides, this is the academic committee's business, it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, everyone should stay calm and not be impulsive." Qiao Chu quickly tried to comfort him. She started to find a topic, "Do you know why Xu Mengfan targeted Professor Xie? There are so many professors in the school, but he chose to go after Professor Xie? You don't know the reason, but I do. Xu Mengfan wanted to be admitted as Professor Xie's graduate student, but after seeing his grades, Professor Xie directly rejected him. Although he didn't fail any courses, most of his scores were in the 60s or 70s, and several were around 60 points."

"You should know better than me what a score of 60 or 61 on a college exam means. It's just barely passing. He's using his position as the principal to bully others in the school. Professor Xie refuses unfair admission to graduate school. Isn't that giving all students a fair chance?"

When everyone heard this, they took two steps back.

Xu Mengfan got anxious and started talking nonsense: "What are you talking about? I have never applied to be Professor Xie's graduate student."

Qiao Chu sneered: "Do you want me to post your application materials on the bulletin board?"

Qiao Chucai didn't give Xu Mengfan any face. She was about to go abroad and had the support of Professor Xie. Would she be afraid of Xu Mengfan, this opportunistic rat crossing the street?

Xu Mengfan wanted to stop Qiao Chu from speaking, but he couldn't get in through the glass door, so he could only feel anxious. He knocked on the door, but the glass door was very strong and could not be opened at all.

After receiving the report from the students, Director Li of the Academic Committee rushed over immediately. When he saw the students besieging Professor Xie's laboratory, he was immediately furious.

He was followed by many security personnel, who pushed through the crowd and rushed in, shouting, "Stop! What are you doing?"

Seeing Director Li coming, Xu Mengfan quickly said with a smile, "Director Li, we are worried that Professor Xie and her students will destroy the information."

"That has nothing to do with your student union," Director Li scolded. "If you lead the students in causing trouble, I will report it to the college."

At this time, Professor Xie, Qin Ming, and three policemen followed behind them.

Professor Xie looked at the students and smiled slightly. "Students, the Academic Committee is investigating whether I have committed academic misconduct. I have also contacted the Ministry of Education and requested their involvement. After all, some professors have indeed gone too far in recent years. You are welcome to actively report them, and they will be accepted."

"Actually, even if I gave you the materials, you might not understand them. Don't be coerced, go back to class and focus! Today's matter ends here. If you try to break into my lab, I will definitely call the police. After all, all the equipment here is my personal property. It's high-end equipment I purchased from abroad using my patents."

Many students had come to join in the fun, but when they heard this and saw the police coming, they all ran away.

Xu Mengfan wanted to leave again, but was handcuffed.

"Gathering a crowd to cause trouble, administrative detention." Qin Ming asked Officer Xiao Wang to send the man to the police station and lock him up.

Xu Mengfan was anxious: "You can't do this! I'm doing this to maintain academic fairness at the school! To protect the rights of our students!"

"Whether you are maintaining the academic fairness of the school is not the point for now, but there is conclusive evidence that you incited students to cause trouble!" Qin Ming said in a deep voice, asking Officer Xiao Wang to hurry up.

When the students who had just walked a short distance saw Xu Mengfan being taken away, they were so scared that they ran away like birds and beasts.

Director Li and several school leaders breathed a sigh of relief. If they had arrived a little later, disaster might have occurred.

After all the students outside had left, Director Li looked at Professor Xie and asked, "Can we go in now?"

Professor Xie pulled his access card from his bag, swiped it, and the door opened. "Please come in, leaders! But I have a request. I have a very important research result. It's my own and has nothing to do with my students, so I won't accept inspection of it."

"When facing students' questions, whoever reported me will be the one you investigate! I just speculated that it must have been Yu Meimei who reported me! Those first- and second-year graduate students haven't finished their papers yet, and given the quality of their papers, they're not very valuable to researchers of my level!"

"Qiao Chu and Yu Meimei initiated their own papers, and I provided guidance and helped them with many key aspects. I wanted to sign on to all of these papers, but I have many more technically advanced papers of my own, so there was no need."

"So Qiao Chu's paper was published independently, but Yu Meimei kept asking me to put my name on her paper. In her words, having my name on it would increase the value of her paper."

"At that time, I refused to write her a letter of recommendation for studying abroad, so I agreed to her request!"

Director Li thought for a moment and said, "But our investigation revealed that you don't have any evidence to prove that you didn't proactively request to be named."

Professor Xie replied: "There's really no way to prove it through email, but I have cameras in my office and lab!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and someone said, "Teacher, our camera broke recently and we haven't had time to fix it yet!"

Professor Xie smiled and pointed to the lights above. "There are also many hidden cameras that can record everything in all directions and can also pick up audio. When Yu Meimei asked me to co-sign with her, it was the day after our lab camera broke down."

Director Li and several school leaders looked at each other and thought, Professor Xie is really cautious!

But think about it, if you’re not careful, you won’t be able to explain yourself even if you have mouths all over your body!

Next, Qin Ming and the technicians he brought copied the content captured by the pinhole camera and then played it.

When Professor Xie talks to students in the laboratory, he tries to stand near the camera.

It's not that she is so scheming, but social experience has taught her that one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others.

After Director Li and the leaders of the Academic Committee watched the video and compared it with Yu Meimei's paper on the spot, they found that the key part was indeed pointed out by Professor Xie.

As for the issue of authorship, Professor Xie initially refused, but only agreed after Yu Meimei's strong request.

It is now very clear that this is a false accusation.

Director Li apologized: "I'm so sorry, Professor Xie, I've wronged you!"

Professor Xie waved his hand: "Just handle it properly!"
