Chapter 980: Chapter 980: The Pressure of Public Opinion

When teachers and students saw this message, it swiftly spread across the entire campus as if it had grown wings.

Overnight, the school was abuzz.

Regardless of whether the message was true or false, it had achieved its purpose of spreading widely.

As Lei Linxuan walked past the blackboard, she saw the message, and her heart pounded frantically, even her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

"Lei Linxuan plagiarized? Is that true or false?"

"Who knows? I’ve never heard of her being particularly famous around the school before."

"She plagiarized from An Hao! An Hao is no ordinary person. She helped with a corpse examination last time and accidentally solved a case. It was even reported in the Nancheng Daily."

"Without solid expertise, who could do that?"

"Exactly, I think this news is reliable! Lei Linxuan is really despicable, stealing someone’s thesis and publishing it first! She stole someone’s hard work."

"Utterly low and shameless! They are roommates in the same dorm, yet she could do such a thing."

"Hey, don’t just say anything. I think I saw that girl standing right there in the crowd..."

The classmates were discussing fervently, their words piercing her heart! Like a sharp knife, they stabbed straight into Lei Linxuan’s heart.

She could barely stand it.

So, she dared not face the discussions from her classmates. She slipped away quietly while everyone’s attention wasn’t focused on her.

It seemed that the situation had exceeded her expectations.

If she kept stubbornly refusing to reveal the truth, could she really keep hiding it forever?

Doubts began to shake Lei Linxuan’s heart!

Deep down, she was afraid of An Hao. Looking at Guan Kexin and then at the departed Xu Yinuo, it seemed An Hao was ready to let go and deal with her.

And she could imagine all the consequences.

She was scared! Truly scared!

Public opinion is a sharp blade! Obviously, An Hao knew very well how to wield this blade!

In the cafeteria, Li Zhi, Zhang Chaoqian, and Cheng Yue sat in front of their meals.

Zhang Chaoqian brought up the content he had just seen on the small blackboard: "Cheng Master, what do you think of this matter? Do you think Lei Linxuan plagiarized the junior sister’s paper?"

"Fresh! Do you even have to ask?" Cheng Yue naturally believed An Hao.

"But I always thought Lei Linxuan seemed pretty honest on ordinary days! She doesn’t seem like the type who would plagiarize!" Zhang Chaoqian was closer to Lei Linxuan in regular days and thus knew a bit more about her.

"If it wasn’t Lei Linxuan who plagiarized, would An Hao go to such lengths? But, why does this handwriting look like the one from our Shuangshuang?" As Li Zhi spoke, the topic started to stray, "The handwriting on so many papers looks so similar, I don’t even know how late our Shuangshuang stayed up last night writing."

"What? Do you feel sorry for me? If you do, then treat me to braised pork," Gu Shuangshuang’s voice came from behind the three of them.

Li Zhi turned around and saw Gu Shuangshuang and An Hao sitting right behind them.

"Shuangshuang sister!" Li Zhi felt it had been a long time since he had seen Gu Shuangshuang after the internship, and it was quite heartwarming to see her suddenly, "Okay! Just a serving of braised pork, right? I’ll buy it for you! It’s not just braised pork; even if you asked me to braise Zhang Chaoqian, no problem."

"Why should you braise me?" Zhang Chaoqian was very disdainful of Li Zhi’s behavior of sacrificing friends for personal gain, "Look at you, that sleazy look on your face, the moment you see Gu Shuangshuang, you’re just like that... what’s it called again..."
