Rebirth: Illuminating a Brilliant Life

Su Xuan had just come out of the restroom and returned to her classroom when she discovered that the swindler who had come to the school in her past life to sell learning software had come to Xuanhan Middle School.

Unfortunately, these people were all in cahoots with the school leaders at the time, and they even promised to give the teachers kickbacks. But she didn't know why these swindlers would end up scamming people at a top provincial high school.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind: Was history repeating itself? Or had their scam evolved? Unfortunately, based on her observations, the leaders didn't treat these people any special treatment, which meant that the leaders might also have been deceived.

Su Xuan decided she couldn't jump to conclusions based on appearances alone. She first discreetly inquired among her classmates whether any teachers had mentioned the learning software to them.

Most of the students' feedback was negative, which relieved her slightly; perhaps the leaders were innocent this time.

She began to observe the scammers' actions more closely. These people wore seemingly well-fitting suits, carried exquisite brochures, spoke in a warm and sincere tone, and were extremely patient with every student who came to inquire.

But Su Xuan knew that these were all masks they wore. She noticed that when teachers passed by and inquired about the software, the scammers answered flawlessly, using professional terminology and seemingly reasonable teaching philosophies that easily made people believe them.

To find out the truth, Su Xuan took advantage of the break between classes and pretended to be interested in the software, approaching the sales booth.

She picked up the brochure and carefully examined its contents, while simultaneously observing the scammers' reactions out of the corner of her eye. One of the scammers, beaming with smiles, began to explain the software's features to her, from intelligent tutoring to personalized learning plans, speaking fluently and confidently.

Su Xuan raised some questions at the right time, such as the source of the software's data and whether it was certified by the education department.

The scammer paused for a moment, but quickly replied that they were processing the relevant certifications and that the data came from a professional educational research institution, but they couldn't disclose that information yet.

Su Xuan sneered inwardly; these perfunctory answers only confirmed her suspicions.

After leaving the stall, she immediately went to find the classmate who was most knowledgeable about computer technology in school, and the two of them studied the software introduction and download links in the brochure together.

After some analysis, they discovered that the software's download link was problematic and could potentially steal user information.

Moreover, some of the features described in the software are technically very difficult to implement, and it is simply impossible for a software company of this size to do so.

At the same time, Su Xuan did not forget to pay attention to the school leaders' reactions.

She noticed that the principal didn't seem enthusiastic about the promotion and was only letting them promote it at the school out of politeness.

This made Su Xuan even more determined to expose these swindlers before the leaders were completely deceived.

Together with several like-minded classmates, she prepared a detailed report, including a technical analysis of the software, the loopholes in the scammer's answers, and the potential harm to the school.

They decided to submit the report to the principal first, hoping to stop the scammers' plot in time. While waiting for the principal's reply, Su Xuan continued to closely monitor the scammers' every move, worried that they might take even worse actions once they sensed the danger.

After Su Xuan and her classmates submitted the report to the principal, the principal took it very seriously and decided to suspend the sales activities and allow Su Xuan and her classmates to conduct further investigations.

Su Xuan knew that more evidence was needed to completely expose the scam. She used online resources to find background information on this so-called software company.

After some investigation, she discovered that the company had been established for a very short time, had almost no user reviews online, and its registered address was unclear, making it highly likely to be a shell company.

After organizing this information, she returned to the scammer's booth. This time, she brought a classmate who was good at debating, and deliberately questioned the software's authenticity loudly in front of the booth, attracting a large crowd of students.

The scammers were somewhat flustered, but still tried to argue their case. Su Xuan directly pointed out the company's short history, lack of user feedback, and suspicious registration address.

The scammers claimed that the new company was still developing and hadn't had time to finalize this information.

At this point, Su Xuan presented the analysis she had obtained from communicating with professional software developers, pointing out that the technical and human costs required to implement the functions advertised in the software were extremely high, and the company's size and funds were simply insufficient to support the development of these functions.

The scammers started stammering, and their expressions turned grim.

Among the students watching was a parent who was an intellectual property lawyer. After hearing Su Xuan's analysis, he also stepped forward.

He pointed out from a legal perspective that if the software contained false advertising or infringed copyright, the company would face serious legal liabilities. Seeing the situation was turning against them, the scammers tried to pack up and leave.

But Su Xuan was prepared; she contacted the school's security office. The security personnel arrived and prevented the scammer from leaving.

At the same time, the principal also contacted staff from the education department and the market supervision department.

While waiting for the relevant personnel to arrive, Su Xuan and her classmates continued to expose the scammers' methods to those around them, such as fake customer review screenshots and forged recommendations from education experts.

When the staff from the education department and the market supervision department arrived, they questioned the fraudsters in detail and examined the relevant evidence.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, the scammers had no choice but to admit their fraudulent scheme. They simply wanted to use the school's platform to collect student information and then resell it to other organizations for profit.

Ultimately, the scammers were punished by law, and the school strengthened its review and management of promotional activities on campus. Su Xuan became a hero on campus, and her classmates all admired her wisdom and courage.

After arriving at the scene, staff from the education and market supervision departments quickly brought the situation under control. They had a clear division of labor and carried out their work in an orderly manner.

Market supervision officials first conducted a detailed inspection and sealed off the promotional materials, software samples, and related equipment brought by the fraudsters.

They carefully checked the differences between the content in the brochure and the actual software functions, and recorded every detail of the false advertising.

From exaggerating the learning effects of software to fabricating recommendations from educational experts, every piece of false information has been exposed.

During the inspection of the software sample, technicians discovered code that maliciously collected user information, which further confirmed Su Xuan and others' suspicions.

Education officials held in-depth conversations with school leaders, teachers, and student representatives, including Su Xuan, to understand the whole story.

They acknowledged the school's response to the incident and emphasized the importance of strengthening campus security management, especially the supervision of commercial activities on campus.

During the questioning of the scammers, law enforcement officers demonstrated professionalism. They sternly informed them of the seriousness of their false advertising, commercial fraud, and infringement of citizens' personal information.

The scammers initially tried to deny it, but they gradually backed down in the face of a series of evidence presented by law enforcement officers.

Law enforcement officials discovered through investigation that these scammers were part of an organized fraud gang that had carried out similar scams in multiple regions.

This scam at Xuanhan Middle School was part of their plan to obtain more high-quality student information.

According to relevant laws and regulations, the market supervision department imposed huge fines on the fraudsters' companies and ordered them to cease all business activities.

Meanwhile, the education department, in conjunction with the police, launched a further investigation into the entire fraud ring, striving to bring all those involved to justice and sever this sinister hand reaching into schools.

Regarding schools, the education authorities have required them to strengthen internal management and establish a sound approval mechanism for outsiders and commercial activities entering the school to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

The school responded proactively and immediately organized a school-wide safety education activity, in which students such as Su Xuan shared their experiences to raise students' awareness and ability to discern.

After this incident, Su Xuan became a celebrity at school, and her courage and wisdom became a role model for her classmates. Xuanhan Middle School also became safer and more peaceful after this ordeal.
