Chapter 499: 0499 must be strictly investigated_1

If it were any other matter, it seems she could have someone else come.

Ellen Young took a sip of water and looked up at Principal Lynch, saying, "Principal Lynch, there is a student named Theodore Hailey in the computer science department, currently a junior. I have some business with him, how about calling him over first?"

Principal Lynch’s face turned green at once.

It wasn’t because of the person Ellen Young had mentioned that he turned green but because he knew Theodore Hailey.

In the past few days, Andalu had suddenly been embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, and the main character of the event was their student. The school had already made a clarification, and Theodore Hailey had provided evidence proving his innocence. These past few days, people were criticizing him online as well.

He thought the matter had passed, but to his surprise, today Ellen Young came in person.

If it were a minor matter, Ellen Young would certainly not have come personally, but her coming in person and mentioning Theodore Hailey—a sudden character—Principal Lynch, who was a very shrewd man, clearly understood what this meant and immediately realized there must be a serious incident.

What incident would warrant Ellen Young’s visit?

It must be that Theodore Hailey lied!

Even involving some very serious incidents.

At this point, Principal Lynch’s expression grew stern. He thought of some unpleasant consequences, but still nodded seriously, "I will have someone call him over immediately."

He quickly made a phone call to instruct someone to bring Theodore Hailey over. Generally, Andalu has comprehensive studies, so most students would be on campus and not go elsewhere on their own.

Finding someone was not difficult.

After hanging up the phone, Principal Lynch, restless, quickly asked, "Scholar Young, may I be informed of the matter with this student Theodore Hailey you called for?"

Ellen Young had no intention of hiding the truth, simply stating, "Theodore Hailey has caused a plagiarism incident in the past few days. In his speech video, there were two instances where he plagiarized theories from someone online, and it was exposed. Although Theodore Hailey has produced evidence to prove himself, to be honest, the two theories he plagiarized were those I had discussed and put forward online."

Principal Lynch, usually so composed, immediately began to pinch the philtrum of his upper lip.

Ellen Young: "..."

She asked, "Principal Lynch?"

"I... Scholar Young, please give me a moment to think."

Principal Lynch covered his face, the situation was simply too preposterous!

If Theodore Hailey had plagiarized someone else, that was one thing, but to plagiarize on the head of the nation’s top scholar, Ellen Young...

Was he insane?

Was he out of his mind?! Ah!

Principal Lynch roared inwardly like mad. In all his years, he had never seen a student so audacious, so irresponsible, who knew nothing of the gravity of his acts, so recklessly courting death without limit.

"If it were just plagiarism, I could have resolved the matter simply and not cause the school any trouble."

Ellen Young sighed, "Unfortunately, this matter is more serious than I thought. Out of curiosity, I reviewed several of Theodore Hailey’s past award-winning theses and found subtle differences in each award-winning thesis. Ordinary people might not notice, but by my professional judgment, there’s something wrong with those theses. As I looked further, I discovered that Theodore Hailey was also involved in buying and selling theses and academic fraud. This involves other professors from the school..."

Without Ellen Young needing to elaborate, Principal Lynch felt like rolling his eyes and fainting on the spot.

If this matter blew up, it would be a major scandal big enough to bring him down as well.

Outrageous, truly only outrageous can describe it.

Principal Lynch was silent for a long time before suddenly slamming the table in a fury, "This is utterly preposterous, investigate, we must investigate thoroughly!"
