You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

The students in the nearby seats were quite frightened by Ye Qingru's crazy appearance and subconsciously shrank back.

The murmurs from the audience surged like boiling water.

"Wow, the evidence is all on the big screen, it's undeniable, and Ye Qingru is still being stubborn?"

"Exactly! Their faces are clearly captured on the surveillance footage. What kind of dramatic, melodramatic act are they putting on here?"

"I truly never imagined that Ye Qingru could be this disgusting..."

As Ye Qingru heard these voices rushing towards her, she felt increasingly panicked.

She tried to force herself to calm down, telling herself that the only way out of this situation was to stay calm.

But she couldn't maintain the expression on her face.

His delicate features were distorted by fear and anger, making him appear as ugly as a demon from hell to onlookers.

In her panic, Ye Qingru's mind raced, and she finally came up with an excuse—

That means the surveillance cameras can only capture the corridor and stage, but the footage of the dressing room is missing!

Regardless of which link in the chain went wrong, Jiang Che managed to retrieve the surveillance footage that should have been lost.

However, Ye Qingru's initial anxiety had subsided considerably.

She was very confident that as long as she insisted that she went backstage to get something, no one would have direct evidence to prove that she had damaged Su Qinghe's dress!

Yes, that's it!

Just as Ye Qingru was about to speak up and make excuses, Jiang Che suddenly stood up from his seat in the audience.

Many viewers who were nearby noticed Jiang Che.

The clamor gradually subsided from front to back, and finally the entire hall fell silent again.

Most of the audience members were students from Kyoto University, with only a small number coming from other schools.

Therefore, everyone knows that Ye Qingru has a history of competing for Su Qinghe's boyfriend, Jiang Che.

Now that Jiang Che has stepped forward, everyone is naturally ready to continue watching the drama unfold.

Jiang Che didn't look at Ye Qingru even once from beginning to end.

He strode straight to the stage, then took the microphone from the host and stood in the center of the stage.

Then, Jiang Che raised his phone.

The image above is a screenshot.

Chen Weiyuan's pre-arranged director immediately pointed the camera closest to Jiang Che at the phone screen and zoomed in to film.

Meanwhile, the staff in the back-end control room switched the display on the large screen to Jiang Che's mobile phone screen in real time.

Everyone could clearly see that the screen displayed a screenshot of a WeChat transfer record.

The recipient was Li Qing, a junior staff member in the organization department of Peking University who was in charge of this college arts festival.

The transfer amount is 500 yuan.

The transfer was made three days ago.

It was clearly written above that Ye Qingru had instructed Li Qing to turn off all the relevant monitoring equipment before leaving the night before the competition.

The source of this screenshot is Li Qing, the junior staff member who was bribed by Ye Qingru.

Ye Qingru's pupils suddenly contracted.

She never expected that in the end, it would be this junior staff member who would betray her.

"Senior Ye, didn't you say you were wronged? Could this screenshot be photoshopped?"

Jiang Che frowned, feigning seriousness, and examined his phone carefully before shrugging. "I don't think it's photoshopped. Maybe Senior Ye should explain it herself?"

Ye Qingru's lips trembled violently with panic.

She struggled for a long time before she could barely squeeze out a few broken syllables, but she couldn't piece them together into a complete word.

"I...I..."

Jiang Che didn't give her time to organize her lies.

He wiped the smile from his face, his voice suddenly turning cold: "Ye Qingru, do you think that just because you had the power cut off to the hall's security cameras, nothing can capture you?"

Ye Qingru stood frozen in place.

Jiang Che gave a mocking smile, "Next time you hire someone to do something bad, could you at least hire a key member?"

"Don't you know that the surveillance cameras used in schools have battery storage capabilities? Even if the power goes out, they will continue to work for a period of time."

Despite Jiang Che's confident demeanor, he wouldn't have known where the video came from if Chen Weiyuan hadn't added a comment when sending him the surveillance footage.

Jiang Che felt rather guilty, as he had made Professor Chen make a trip to the security department for no reason on such a hot day.

However, they said that the school's surveillance cameras are all rechargeable models, and the footage recorded while charging is stored on the built-in memory card.

You only need to find the corresponding surveillance camera and remove the card to find the video.

It turns out that the security guard in charge of the monitoring room at the time was completely clueless, otherwise none of these things would have happened.

But the result was good in the end.

With the evidence now conclusive, Ye Qingru's identity as the real culprit is beyond doubt.

Now we'll see how the school handles it.

However, Jiang Che had no intention of letting Ye Qingru off so easily before the school took action.

"Professor Chen Weiyuan helped me check the surveillance footage from the security department. The footage of you and Zhou Lei entering the auditorium together, the footage of you sneaking into the dressing room and the stage, was all clearly captured."

Jiang Che paused slightly, his cold gaze finally landing on Ye Qingru's face.

Ye Qingru felt a chill run down her spine under Jiang Che's gaze.

But she knew she absolutely could not admit it.

Once you accept it, it's all over.

"Jiang Che, you say I ruined Su Qinghe's dress, do you have any evidence?"

Ye Qingru gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down, her voice tinged with grievance, "I admit that I had someone turn off the power to the surveillance system, which was indeed a violation of the rules."

"But the reason I did that was simply because I wanted to go backstage to retrieve something I left in the dressing room, and also to familiarize myself with the competition venue. Is there anything wrong with that?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at the sea of ​​faces below the stage, her eyes brimming with tears: "I'm a girl, and I risked being discovered by security to go backstage in the middle of the night, just so I could perform better in the competition."

"You say I broke the rules, I admit that, but to say I deliberately harmed someone, isn't that a bit too much?"

Upon hearing this, the discussion in the audience subtly shifted.

"That makes sense, doesn't it?"

"The surveillance footage only captured her entering the backstage area, but it didn't capture what she actually did."

"And how could a woman like her really break a piano pedal? It would take a lot of force."

"..."

Whispers spread through the audience.

Upon hearing these voices, Ye Qingru felt a surge of hope and a touch of pride.

Jiang Che, what good is having the corridor surveillance footage if you can't?

The surveillance footage inside the dressing room showed that even the King of Heaven himself wasn't there, so no one knows what she did inside.

As long as she insists that she only came to pick up something, no one can prove that she damaged the dress.
