Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Zhao Mingyuan knew he couldn't let the public focus on the talent transplant technology.

That's why he focused on the "authenticity of the provincial champion" to divert public attention.

This move, using the "official certification" card, was extremely sudden and impactful.

The netizens and reporters who were just panicking about talent transplantation technology were instantly plunged into new doubts and confusion.

Yes.

The fact that the Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Education personally confirmed it carries immense weight!

Could it be... that there really is some misunderstanding?

Is this boy named Wang Xian really lying?

At this delicate moment when public opinion is wavering again and doubts are beginning to emerge.

in the crowd.

Among them was a middle-aged man in a suit with a large belly, who seemed to have finally waited for the best opportunity to make his appearance. He pushed through the crowd and walked quickly to Zhao Lan and Zhao Mingyuan, his face bearing a complex expression that mixed with heartache, disappointment, and righteous indignation.

It was Liu Neng, the principal of Jinwu Academy in Xingquan City.

When Wang Xian first appeared, he made accusations as the top provincial scorer.

Hidden among the reporters, Liu Neng felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, as if the blood in his body had frozen, his limbs were icy cold, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

Large beads of cold sweat instantly soaked his underwear.

He knew all too well what role he played in this!

As the principal for both Wang Xian and Bai E, he was not only an insider but also an important "assistant" and "cover-up"!

He accepted the benefits that the Bai family could not refuse, and had completely tied his future and life to the Bai family's chariot.

Wang Xian's sudden appearance and accusations were like a bolt from the blue for him.

He could almost see handcuffs, prison, and a terrifying future of disgrace and being scorned by everyone.

Extreme fear nearly made him collapse to the ground, and he could only desperately shrink behind the crowd, praying that things would turn around.

The "Certification of Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Education" video that Zhao Mingyuan played was like the last piece of driftwood a drowning person was grabbing onto!

That "official" affirmation instantly dispelled most of his fear, giving him a chance to catch his breath and even boosting his confidence.

He has to step forward!

We must strike while the iron is hot, solidify Wang Xian's image as a "false accuser," and nip the danger in the bud!

This is not only to help the Bai family, but also to save ourselves!

then.

Liu Neng stood in front of the camera, first glancing at Wang Xian with a pained expression, then facing the media and speaking in his usual authoritative, educator-like tone:

"Dear friends from the media, I am Liu Neng, the principal of Jinwu Academy."

"As the person in charge of the alma mater of Wang Xian and Bai E, seeing what happened today, I...I feel extremely heartbroken and regretful!"

He paused deliberately to create atmosphere.

"Wang Xian did have excellent grades during his time at school, and the school provided him with all the help and care it could, but..."

He changed the subject, his tone becoming serious.

"Perhaps due to his background and upbringing, this student has always had a rather extreme personality, is very concerned about gains and losses, and lacks resilience under pressure."

"He performed terribly under pressure during the martial arts exam, and his results were far from ideal, which was a huge blow to him."

Liu Neng looked at Wang Xian with an expression that said, "I understand you, but you can't do this," and continued:

"However, I never imagined that he would harbor such deep resentment, to the point that he fabricated such appalling lies that severely defamed his classmate and smeared the fairness of education!"

"Bai E's talent and achievements are evident to all teachers and students in the school, and have been rigorously verified by provincial and municipal departments! How dare you slander him with baseless accusations?"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, as if he were truly a principal who had been falsely accused by his students and was indignant.

"Wang Xian, what you've done is not only harming Bai E and his family, but also trampling on the reputation of our Jinwu Academy and openly challenging the authority of our provincial education authorities!"

"What do you expect from the students who truly studied hard and achieved their results through merit?"

"How heartbroken you are to your alma mater and your teachers!"

Liu Neng's performance, standing on the moral high ground of his alma mater's principal and "educator," combined with the "official video" just now, was extremely deceptive and inflammatory.

Reporters and netizens who were unaware of the facts began to feel confused, unsure of whom to believe.

Looking at Liu Neng, Wang Xian's gaze turned completely cold.

It was a chilling feeling far more biting than when he looked at the Bai family couple and Bai E, and it even faintly revealed a murderous intent that was almost solidified!

If one hates Bai E for his greed and cruelty, then one despises the Bai family couple for their viciousness and shamelessness.

So, what about this principal?

What welled up in Wang Xian's heart was a complex emotion that mixed extreme disgust, contempt, and icy killing intent.

Compared to blatant robbers, this hypocrite, who wears the cloak of an educator and spouts benevolence and morality, yet easily betrays students' futures, tramples on the bottom line of education, and aids and abets evil for his own selfish gain, disgusts Wang Xian even more!

Principal Liu Neng's eloquent performance, coupled with the "official certification" from the deputy director of the provincial education department, caused public opinion to waver once again.

Many netizens are confused about who to believe.

And then,

The mysterious netizen who previously opened an account with Wang Xian has struck again!

"Oh? This Principal Liu seems quite righteous. If I hadn't looked him up, I would have actually believed him. Hilarious!"

"Come on, let's see the glorious deeds of this 'good principal'."

"On November 12th of the new calendar year 682, the case of embezzlement of special hardship subsidies for students at Jinwu Academy was ultimately concluded by an 'accounting error' during a 'self-investigation'. Less than one-third of the funds were recovered, and the then-financial officer (Ding Hun, Liu Neng's brother-in-law) was transferred. The student who reported the embezzlement was subsequently disciplined for 'violating school rules'."

"On March 18, 685 of the Great Xia calendar, the bidding for the construction of a new training ground for Jinwu Academy was held. The winning bidder was Hengjin Construction (a subsidiary of Hengjin Group). The winning bid exceeded the second-highest bid by 18%, and the acceptance standards were repeatedly questioned for being lowered. At the same time, Principal Liu Neng's wife's account received a large amount of money from an unknown source."

"There's also Principal Liu's only son, who is currently studying at a prestigious private academy in Shanghai. The source of his tuition fees is seriously inconsistent with his publicly disclosed income. He also owns a brand-new psionic flying car worth 180 million Dragon Coins, which was registered half a year ago, just after Hengjin Group donated a batch of 'teaching equipment' to Jinwu Academy."

"I have posted detailed evidence on my homepage."

This long passage of text startled netizens, who then curiously clicked on the mysterious netizen's profile page.

Sure enough, there was a lot of dirt on Liu Neng hanging inside.

It includes the time, the event, the parties involved, and even screenshots or clues of some "evidence".

Although key personal information was redacted, the sequence of events is shockingly clear!

This left countless netizens speechless, exclaiming: "Holy crap, that's awesome!"
