Zuzi’s sudden awakening inadvertently changed the direction of the public opinion at the scene.
The weight of the "blemished witness" Gu Pinting’s charges against Gu Shiyin in everyone’s minds gradually increased.
"Did Teacher Gu really find won for Fei Ji and co up with sches to Curse fellow student Xi?"
"Teacher Gu has such a ruthless heart, doing this to her own relatives and juniors?"
"The key is, how could a woman push another woman into the fire pit like this, doesn’t her conscience hurt?"
"Wait, I rember, Teacher Gu did live broadcasts before and was very ruthless to her fans as well, back when she sold fake goods and got exposed on the spot. She couldn’t care less whether it’s about won..."
"So, Teacher Gu has way more blemishes on her than Gu Pinting..."
Amidst the murmurs, Gu Shiyin’s face beca increasingly stiff, never expecting that her live broadcast scandals would be dragged out, these dark pasts were sothing she desperately wanted to avoid.
"This is all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, fellow students, Pingting’s emotions have been unstable since she gained weight. What she said is one-sided, without any real evidence. Please trust , I would never betray my family... I’m begging you!"
Gu Shiyin defended herself in a soft, aggrieved but restrained manner.
Gu Pinting was full of unspoken bitterness, she had no evidence. After all, when Gu Shiyin took her to et Fei Ji, it was all verbal. She didn’t have the foresight to record or take pictures.
She was incredibly regretful at this mont!
Originally wanting to co forward to testify for Xi Rubao, she couldn’t conclusively pin down Gu Shiyin due to a lack of evidence, feeling utterly useless!
With a face full of regret and guilt, her tense heart relaxed when she t Zuzi’s smiling gaze.
That look seed to reassure her, to take it slow, that with experience cos wisdom, next ti she’ll know better.
Gu Pinting felt her nose turning sour.
Thinking that these past eighteen years felt like they were lived in vain.
Acting immaturely, planning thoughtlessly yet arrogantly... She indeed had much to learn.
Even compared to Xi Rubao, there was a big gap. The scene he orchestrated to fool Gu Shiyin and manipulate Fei Ji was brilliantly executed!
Although they couldn’t imdiately hamr down Gu Shiyin this ti, the seeds of doubt were already sown in everyone’s hearts.
In the judges’ section, Dean Chu stood up to preside over the scene: "Whether Fei Ji colluded with a faculty mber to violate dical ethics and harm others will be further investigated. Before the investigation is clear, Teacher Gu, you are not suitable to continue in your teaching position."
Gu Shiyin: "...!"
Isn’t this akin to announcing her suspension in public?
"ntor, I’m your last disciple. No matter how others slander , you should believe ..."
She was trying to show weakness and defend herself, but Dean Chu waved a hand to stop her: "This is the unanimous decision of the academy’s leadership. You need not say more. Precisely because you are my disciple, I must be disciplined and impartial. The innocent will prove their innocence, the guilty will reveal their guilt. If you act with integrity, there is no need to fear. The truth will eventually co to light!"
The audience erupted in thunderous applause.
All were filled with admiration for Dean Chu’s fair judgnt.
Gu Shiyin’s knees nearly buckled.
Although Dean Chu didn’t convict her on the spot, losing her teaching position was a significant humiliation.
It was a bitter pill she found hard to swallow.
Especially with a quick glance, she saw Zuzi on the judges’ panel, mindlessly sipping a milk tea and toying with a smartwatch, her indifferent, carefree deanor especially infuriating!
As if Dean Chu’s announcent of such severe punishnt didn’t matter to Zuzi at all.
Or perhaps, it was all in her expectations from the start!
