Chapter 480: 0480 Forging Information_1

"Two months ago?"

The timestamp on the forum was a month and a half ago.

It was the time when Ellen Young met the Lonely Genius.

Half a month later than what Theodore Hailey had said.

"You’re saying that someone copied your idea?"

The tutor frowned, faintly sensing that this matter might provoke quite a stir.

"I don’t know."

Theodore Hailey didn’t insist, but just lifted his brow center, "I can provide you with evidence to prove my innocence, of course, I also don’t know why the netizen on the forum presented an idea so similar to mine. It could really be a coincidence of thought, or there might be some other reason. My computer has been attacked before, leaking some information. It’s just that my important information wasn’t on it, but this theory was."

The tutor frowned even more.

Two months ago was also precisely when the presentation requirements were issued, asking Theodore Hailey to prepare in advance.

If at that time Theodore Hailey began preparing and even thought of this, it was certainly possible.

But...

To reach the level of a professor, especially a professor at Andalu University, one’s IQ would undoubtedly be high. Without saying anything else first, the tutor simply said, "Give me your discussion records from two months ago right away."

Since it was a discussion, he surely had come up with it talking to someone else.

Theodore Hailey said, "It’s not on my dorm computer, I need to go home and get it. I’ll be back within an hour, professor, is that okay?"

The professor nodded.

Theodore Hailey turned and left.

Watching his departing figure, the professor still looked somewhat hesitant, but eventually made a phone call.

Ryan Henderson almost lost his cool when he received the message, and immediately sent a message to Ellen Young.

Lonely Genius: [Damn, that shameless guy has produced a discussion record from two months ago, claiming it’s something he had already discussed with others. He also mentioned his computer being hacked, insinuating that we copied his idea?????/AfricanAmericanQuestionMarks.JPG]

When Ellen Young saw this message, she also felt it was incredible. After reviewing that part of the chat, apart from these two theories, the rest of the content was indeed different from what Ellen Young and Lonely Genius had discussed. However, considering his reaction, Ellen knew that Theodore Hailey’s discussion record was forged.

Ellen: [The content of the discussion must be fake.]

Lonely Genius: [I know, but it must have been done by a super badass. I can’t find any major flaws. I’ll ask my classmate for help.]

Ellen Young knew something fishy was going on behind Theodore Hailey. His quick fabrication of content clearly meant he would not back down. Besides, she had suspected fabrication in his previous few theses. With a bit of logical deduction, it was possible to infer that this might not be the first time Hailey had done something like this.

He was likely afraid of implicating other things, so now he would never relax his grip. There must be a professional organization behind him manipulating these kinds of things.

Otherwise, for him to repeatedly buy theses or steal them without leaving any trace... Without being absolutely sure, Theodore Hailey wouldn’t have the guts, and it’s unclear how he even came up with such a lousy move as casually copying a netizen’s theory.

Maybe this netizen was just an ordinary person.

But he hadn’t considered, what if he messed with someone he shouldn’t have?

Clinton White also called in, his tone somewhat astonished, "Amazing, that Theodore Hailey really has some issues. I can confirm there’s a force behind him, likely involving the academic community. It’s buried very deep and will take some time to reel in."
