Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 437: Reversal, the Reality of Mr. Guo’s Crimes!

Everyone was astonished when they saw Li Chun.

The senior was the first to speak. “Li Chun? What are you doing?”

Xue Xi also looked at him and her eyes lit up.

After being asked, Li Chun stuttered, “I-I don’t think we should punish her. After all… who hasn’t done anything wrong? We should give her a chance.”

He hurriedly lowered his head.

He still did not dare to speak the truth, so he did not dare to look at the girl’s eyes. He was afraid that he would see disappointment in them.

He was not that brave.

Everyone was selfish, and he did not dare to gamble his future.

Just as they were about to speak, a voice sounded. “Eh, why are you all here?”

Everyone turned around and saw Mr. Guo walking over.

He still had a smile on his face and looked amiable. When he walked over, he swept his gaze across everyone before finally looking at Li Chun. He raised his brows and said, “Li Chun, you’re actually here.”

Li Chun was so frightened that he took a step back.

He gulped and said, “M-Master, I-I still have something on. I’ll leave first…”

In his panic, he looked at Xue Xi apologetically.

Sorry.

I’m a deserter.

I don’t have guts.

I’m a coward!

Sorry…

Feeling extremely guilty, he was just about to turn around and leave when he heard Mr. Guo’s voice. “Don’t leave. I was just about to look for you. You’re just in time!”

Li Chun froze on the spot.

He turned around in surprise and looked at Mr. Guo in confusion.

Could it be that Mr. Guo wanted him to complain about Xue Xi?

Should he complain…

Just as this thought flashed across his mind and he was still feeling guilty and blaming himself, he saw Mr. Guo look at the investigator. “Investigator, I have a situation here too. I need to report it.”

After saying that, he looked at Li Chun and sighed deeply. “It’s like this. Student Li Chun actually threatened me during my investigation and asked me to pass his graduation oral defense.”

His words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Li Chun’s ears.

His eyes widened and his mind went blank.

He looked at Mr. Guo in disbelief and saw him take out his phone. “I have evidence here. It’s the recording of our conversation just now.”

After saying this, he played the recording.

First, it was Li Chun’s words. “Mr. Guo, you must pass the thesis!”

Mr. Guo: “Why? Your thesis this time is still not up to standard. Look at this mathematical concept. It’s written very vaguely. I have always had high expectations for you guys.”

Li Chun: “Don’t say this. Let me tell you, I know that you’re being investigated. If you still don’t let me pass, I’ll go find them to report you for mistreating students. By then, you won’t even have the right to be a teacher!”

A recording was played and the entire corridor fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at Li Chun in disbelief.

Li Chun widened his eyes.

No, it’s not like that…

What he’d said just now was not like this…

Mr. Guo intercepted one part and took it out of context!

Mr. Guo continued, “I’m really guilty. I’ve taught and nurtured people for so many years. How can my students be like this? I was too defeated. One reported me, and the other took the chance to threaten me. But how can I help this kind of evil? Even if I have to risk being maliciously reported by him today, I’ll still expose the truth!”

A malicious report could send Li Chun to jail.

No matter what Li Chun said next, the rest would not believe him!

The investigator frowned and looked at Li Chun. “Yes, we will definitely not let this matter rest!”

The rest also looked at him.

The two boys beside Zhang Hao became even more up in arms. “Li Chun, Mr. Guo has been so good to you. How can you treat him like this?!”

“All so you could graduate, you’re really a demon!”

“This is like that farmer and a snake story! They’re too vicious!”

“…”

The sounds of criticism and discussion filled the air. Li Chun took a step back in disbelief. His eyes were fixed on Mr. Guo.

It turned out that he had never intended to compromise with him.

He actually found it ridiculous that he did not even have the courage to speak up for Xue Xi.

Xue Xi’s eyes turned sharp.

She did not expect things to turn out this way. She looked at the investigator and said, “You guys can’t punish Li Chun.”

“Xue Xi, you have no right to speak here! If you didn’t report me maliciously, why would Senior Li Chun’s threat follow?!”

Xue Xi’s eyes turned cold.

Actually, she did not care if she was punished or not. She never cared about her reputation. She got into Huaxia University only because she wanted to study. All she wanted was to read her books.

It was not as though she could not enter the library after a punishment. It did not matter. Moreover, she still had Teaches Math to cover for her!

However, Li Chun did not.

She looked up at Mr. Guo and slowly said, “You guys can punish me, but not Li Chun. He has already delayed his graduation. If he receives punishment now, it will be even harder for him to find a job in the future. Moreover…”

Xue Xi did not give anyone a chance to speak. She turned to look at Mr. Guo and used words to crush him. “Mr. Guo is kind-hearted, and Li Chun is the student you’re proudest of. Although this matter is bad, Li Chun has been with you for so many years. Even if he did not contribute, he has worked hard. I believe that with Mr. Guo’s kind nature, he will not make things difficult for him, right? After all, it is understandable since he is unable to graduate. Anyone will be anxious in his shoes, right?”

Her words pushed Mr. Guo to the moral high ground and made him unable to back down.

He narrowed his eyes and continued smiling at Xue Xi.

This young lady was very quiet. He did not even speak up for her just now, but now, she was speaking so logically that even he was at a disadvantage!

At this moment, if he insisted on punishing Li Chun, he would have a bad reputation.

Mr. Guo took a deep breath. “Of course, I didn’t raise this matter to punish Li Chun. I just wanted to tell you guys that you can’t take the wrong path. One wrong step will lead to many mistakes, right, Li Chun?”

He said meaningfully, “I definitely won’t punish you, but you still have to work hard on your thesis. If you don’t pass, I won’t let you off.”

It was up to him whether he qualified or not.

Mr. Guo was a little smug.

After punishing Xue Xi, Li Chun was still in his hands. It was killing two birds with one stone.

The investigator said, “Mr. Guo, you’re really cultured. Since you don’t intend to pursue Li Chun’s matter, forget it. As for Xue Xi, we’ll hand her over to the Director. The final result will be handled by Director Feng.”

Mr. Guo lowered his eyes and smiled. “Of course. I believe that you will be fair!”

The rest rushed to Mr. Guo and said, “Mr. Guo, it’s great that you’re fine!”

“Mr. Guo, good things lead to more good things.”

“…”

While they were all praising him, Xue Xi was once again ostracized.

Xue Xi frowned and felt that she had been careless this time. As expected of a professor from Huaxia University. He was very intelligent and did not leave any evidence behind.

While she was thinking, Mr. Guo looked at her from the crowd. His smiling face and the eyes behind his spectacles were filled with poison.

Xue Xi retracted her gaze and clenched her fists.

She could not help but think, if Xiang Huai were to encounter such a situation, what would he do?

Before she could think of an answer, she suddenly saw a figure dashing to the window beside her from the corner of her eye!

She turned around and saw the situation in front of her. Her pupils constricted!

Li Chun had already climbed up the open window. One of his legs was already out while the other supported him. His entire body was on the verge of collapse, as though he was going to fall in the next second!

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

Everyone turned to look at him. Even Mr. Guo and the investigator wanted to rush forward, but at this moment, Li Chun shouted, “Don’t come over! If you come any closer, I’ll jump down!”

They did not dare to rush forward.

Xue Xi stopped Mr. Guo, afraid that he would play tricks. She widened her eyes and looked at Li Chun, her voice still calm. “Senior, what are you doing? Come down.”

The investigator also said, “Yes, yes. Li Chun, come down. Let’s talk things out. Mr. Guo won’t pursue the matter of you threatening him anymore. It’s easier to talk about the issue!”

Mr. Guo was also a little afraid. “Yes, this problem is easy to solve. I’ll let you pass, alright? Come down quickly!”

I’ll let you pass…

Li Chun could not help but laugh when he heard this.

After so many years, he already knew that Mr. Guo’s words could not be trusted. However, just now, in his office, he actually believed it again.

How stupid was he!

He shook his head. “I don’t trust you anymore.”

His eyes were red and filled with madness. He pointed at the two boys who had been charging forward. “Mr. Guo, seven years ago, when you asked me to work on your project, I treated you like family like these two idiots. I felt that you were really a kind and respectable teacher.

“But then?”

He looked at the senior in the laboratory. “I’m just like her. I’ve been oppressed and lied to by you time and time again. Did you tell them that if something happened to you, the project would end prematurely, and all the hard work in the early stages would go to waste and they wouldn’t be able to get the money? Did you say that the subsidies you owed them would be sent to them after this project was completed? And they… each and every one of them believed your lies time and time again, and they served as your workers for free… But do you know? Look at me! Look at me, I’m a good-for-nothing today. I’ll be your tomorrow!”

The group of people that he pointed at stood rooted to the ground, not daring to look up at him.

Still, no one stood up to criticize Mr. Guo.

Li Chun smiled bitterly. “I’m a graduate student and am currently 26 years old. I haven’t earned a single cent! My mother was in the coalfield and carried coal for others. She accidentally cut her leg and it was amputated. All she needs to do is to get a prosthetic leg, but it’ll cost 5,000 yuan. However, my mother can’t bear to do it because she wants to pay my school fees.

“My father works at the construction site all year round and has to carry bricks for others, but he can’t bear to go to a restaurant and eat a bowl of soup noodles because he wants to save the money and give me living expenses.

“As for me… after learning so much, I can only do projects for free in school! I can’t get a single cent!

“I’m going to graduate. I promised my mother that I would give her a prosthetic leg. I promised my father that I would bring him a bowl of beef noodles after getting my first month’s salary.

“But such a small wish can’t be fulfilled! Because this teacher surnamed Guo won’t let me graduate!

“Let me pass… What a joke. The students who are so much worse than me have all successfully graduated, but what about me, an outstanding student in everyone’s eyes? What happened in the end?”

He reached out and pointed at his chest, and tears fell again.

He looked at the group.

He had said so much, but none of them could stand up.

He lowered his head. “Cowards! You’re all a bunch of cowards!! You’re afraid of trouble and have to endure it. Me too. I’m really timid. I’m selfish and timid. I didn’t even dare to stand up for Xue Xi just now. I don’t have the right to scold you…”

He looked at Mr. Guo. “Mr. Guo, yes, I don’t have any evidence. Even the words I just said can be taken as me framing you.

“But it doesn’t matter. I’ll use actions to prove that you’re the one who exploited me and pushed me to my death. You’re the murderer! You have to pay the price for my death!”

After saying this, he took one last look at Xue Xi and fell out!

Xue Xi, I’m sorry.

You don’t know, but this is the bravest moment of my life.

Xue Xi: “…”
