Chapter 2139: Evidence That Could Ruin His Reputation

"Then do you know... that your plagiarism of a student's research led to that student becoming depressed and attempting suicide?"

Jiang Mobai's words made the old professor's face turn pale.

He was extremely panicked inside.

Yet on the surface, he still had to feign a sanctimonious appearance: "Don't you dare try to turn black into white!"

"Heh, I knew you wouldn't admit it, so I have already contacted that student, and she is willing to testify against you and bring the past to light."

"You, you have no evidence!"

"Is a student's testimony not enough?"

"That is only human testimony; what about physical evidence!"

After the old professor finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Mobai triumphantly.

His words made Jiang Mobai feel a bit troubled.

But it was only for show.

The next second, Jiang Mobai retorted: "The reason you are so confident is because the student's research data was stolen by you and the original files were deleted by you, right?"

"Hmph, I don't know what you are talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it; it just so happens that I have a friend who is very skilled at digging up data. Look, he logged into your old account and even recovered the deleted content."

When Jiang Mobai said this, his face was full of smiles.

His smile made the old professor's heart skip a beat.

At the same time, he ground his teeth and repeated meaninglessly: "Slander, slander, you are just spouting slander!"

The other party's repetitive words made Jiang Mobai roll his eyes.

Afterwards, he took a few pages of data out of his pocket and waved them in front of the old professor.

"Look familiar?"

It was in that moment of waving that the old professor caught a glimpse of a few words.

And those few words made his expression change drastically, and he asked in disbelief: "You... you actually found them?"

"Yes, hard work pays off!"

After Jiang Mobai finished speaking, he thought of something else and added:

"Oh, it's not just this student who wants to accuse you; there are several others who will stand up to prove your academic misconduct, misappropriation of research funds, buying and selling of papers, and even personal attacks on students..."

The examples Jiang Mobai gave made it impossible for the old professor to hide his panic anymore.

His body was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai curled his lips into a triumphant smile.

Once the smile faded, he said softly: "For one person's accusation, you could still say I am turning black into white. But with so many people... I can't turn that around."

Xiao Qian was standing right beside the old professor, so she could feel that her grandfather had lost his footing.

The old professor was her backer, after all.

If even her backer fell...

No, she could not let her grandfather fall!

She had to lend her grandfather a hand!

Thinking this, Xiao Qian said righteously: "There is a brave man under a heavy reward; if you give more money, the number of brave men will naturally increase!"

Hearing this, Jiang Mobai's gaze fell upon Xiao Qian.

Then, he said with a half-smile: "It seems you are well-versed in this."

"I..."

Xiao Qian was about to retort, but she heard the old professor shout at her: "Don't say another word!"

The old professor glared at Xiao Qian as he spoke.

That fierce appearance made Xiao Qian feel aggrieved, and for the moment, she really did stop talking.

But who would have thought that the old professor's next sentence would make her unable to remain calm.

"Mr. Jiang, you came to find me, so you surely don't want to blow this matter out of proportion. How about this, we each take a step back; you destroy that evidence, and I will tell the public that the matter between Qingkong and my granddaughter was just a misunderstanding!"

"Grandfather..."

Xiao Qian had only shouted two words before she was glared at by the old professor.

That look was full of intimidation.

It was much scarier than before.

Xiao Qian was so frightened that she dared not say anything more.

To tell the truth, the old professor did not want to concede either.

But he had not expected this Jiang Mobai to be so ruthless as to dig up these old skeletons.

The old professor's background was not clean.

If this kept being dug into, would there be anything good left for him?

So even if it meant wronging his granddaughter, he had to concede!

But after the old professor thought it through, he forgot to consider one thing: whether Jiang Mobai actually needed his concession...

Jiang Mobai pressed his hands onto his cane and said with a half-smile: "You can change your story, but will others believe it? It would be better to..."

When he reached the crucial point, Jiang Mobai suddenly paused.

And his pause made the professor's heart jump into his throat.

He was still anxiously asking: "Better to what?"

"Better to let the public see your true colors, understand your character, and then, they will naturally doubt your motives for targeting Qingkong."

Jiang Mobai's words left the old professor's mind completely blank!

When he came back to his senses, he roared: "Are you a lunatic! This, this will result in both sides suffering!"

"Wrong, the only one who will be unlucky is you."

"That's not necessarily true; we can still frame him with new charges, he won't be able to escape!"

When the old professor spoke, his face was ferocious.

Where was there any scholarly integrity left on him?

Not only was there no integrity, the old professor was instead throwing caution to the wind.

But the next second, the expression on the old professor's face changed again.

He was first stunned, and then furious.

In the end, he wished he could rush up and bite Jiang Mobai hard!

It turned out that what Jiang Mobai was holding in his hand was a recording pen that was currently working!

Jiang Mobai pressed it lightly, and the content of the conversation between the old professor and Jiang Mobai just now was played back.

The old professor really wanted to rush over and snatch the recording pen away.

But as soon as he moved, he felt a tightness in his chest.

He pulled hard at the clothes on his chest, and only then did he feel a little better.

On Jiang Mobai's side, he put the recording pen away.

Then, lowering his eyes, he said unhurriedly: "Actually, I didn't persuade that student to help; I was lying to you."

"What? You, you..."

"But she really did have depression, and... she has already left this world."

The old professor paused for a moment, then waved his arm and asserted: "I don't believe what you're saying!"

"It's not that you don't believe it, but that you are escaping. But the question is, is escaping useful?"

As Jiang Mobai spoke, his expression changed, and he opened his mouth to rebuke: "You sanctimonious old thing, you should also pay the price for what you have done!"

The old professor opened his lips, about to retort to Jiang Mobai.

But suddenly, he could not make a sound.

His body could not move either.

The expression on his face was still very painful.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai snorted coldly: "What's wrong, trying to fake an illness? Do you think I'll believe you!"

Although Jiang Mobai did not believe it, Xiao Qian was so frightened that her face changed color.

She said with an anxious expression: "My grandfather has heart disease, he must take his medicine immediately!"

"Then you just give it to him."

"I, I don't know where the medicine is!"

As soon as these words fell, the old professor clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground, his lips turning purple at the same time.

This state...

He really did have heart disease.

Jiang Mobai frowned.

Wang Zi hurriedly leaned down and felt around on the old professor's body.

Fortunately, the old professor was carrying a medicine bottle on him.

Wang Zi took out the medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and fed them into the old professor's mouth.

Xiao Qian was truly terrified.

And when she thought about how the old professor had been angered into a heart attack by these two people...
