Ou ZhenTing spoke, and naturally, everyone’s gaze focused on him.
Ou ZhenTing looked at Xia Chuyi with a rather complex expression.
Seeing the child being wronged and slandered, Ou ZhenTing felt both heartache and anger, yet he was unable to help.
Fortunately, this child was smart and composed, consistently displaying a calm and poised deanor.
"I agree with Xia Chuyi’s opinion," Ou ZhenTing repeated.
"Because I believe that if Chuyi suggests retaking the exam, there must be a sufficient reason for it," he said kindly, looking at Xia Chuyi, "Right, child?"
Honestly, Ou ZhenTing’s amicable deanor took Xia Chuyi by surprise.
Xia Chuyi truly didn’t expect soone of his position, like Ou ZhenTing, to be so kind.
But upon reflection, actually, Uncle Liberation Army’s father, Huo Zhongcheng, was also a relatively kind person, which put her mind at ease.
Therefore, Xia Chuyi nodded at Ou ZhenTing and said, "That’s correct. I insist on retaking the exam because I believe that at this point, retaking it is the best way to prove my innocence."
Xia Chuyi didn’t say it was the only way; she emphasized "the best" because that’s what she aid for.
"At the sa ti..." However, Xia Chuyi’s words weren’t finished, and she continued, "Only such direct evidence of my innocence will provide enough to prove that those accusing of cheating are slandering."
This last sentence was delivered with great force by Xia Chuyi.
It was clear that Xia Chuyi’s words were directed at Zhan Yi.
"You, you, what slander..." Zhan Yi naturally picked up on it, imdiately widening his eyes, feeling that Xia Chuyi was making a big deal out of nothing, and said, "Even if I misjudged, it was still my reasonable suspicion... Nowadays, university students should have a spirit of inquiry!"
Zhan Yi argued back and forth, feeling increasingly justified.
"If, if it turns out I was wrong, I’ll apologize to you!" Zhan Yi’s words flowed more smoothly, increasingly convinced he wasn’t wrong.
Seeing this situation, school leaders present exchanged glances, so nodding, others shaking their heads, with no unified stance.
"A spirit of inquiry?" Xia Chuyi cooled her gaze upon hearing Zhan Yi’s words and said, "Is basing things purely on subjective conjecture called a ’spirit of inquiry’?"
Xia Chuyi thought Zhan Yi’s mind was as if it had been kicked by a donkey—thinking that being a university student allowed free rein, letting her "question" carelessly?
"It’s true, university students should have a spirit of inquiry, but..." Xia Chuyi’s expression suddenly turned extrely serious, "words can bring disaster, and everyone should take responsibility for what they say."
"A simple apology can never make up for the damage caused by rumors." Xia Chuyi’s expression grew increasingly stern, "Therefore, dear leaders and teachers, once the retest proves my innocence, I will report to the police and sue the person who slandered !"
"You!" Zhan Yi was directly stunned by Xia Chuyi’s montum.
Not only Zhan Yi, but even the teachers present were slightly taken aback.
"I ask for your understanding," Xia Chuyi slightly nodded to the teachers, "those who make subjective mistakes have no right to be easily forgiven."
This was Xia Chuyi’s ultimate goal.
Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, the teachers fell silent.
