Chapter 535: Interrogation
Mu Jianling and Ji You stepped into the room, and the atmosphere inside instantly shifted.
Professor Ye Hong was the first to frown, asking, "Mu Jianling, what are you here for?"
Mu Jianling, arms crossed with a stern face, retorted, "It concerns my student’s reputation. You’re asking what I’m here for? Should I stand aside and let you maneuver in the dark?" Having said this, Mu Jianling glanced coldly at Xu Siyu standing aside, implying more than his words conveyed.
Hearing this, Xu Siyu’s face turned pale, and she bit her lip slightly.
Dr. Luo hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. She pulled Mu Jianling aside with a smile, saying, "Listen to yourself, with so many eyes watching, who would dare tamper secretly?"
"Hmph~"
Mu Jianling sneered and turned his scorn towards Ye Hong, Jiang Yulan, and several other Material Department teachers, saying, "It’s quite obvious who would rig things, considering it involves a once-in-a-century outstanding student from the Material Department. A bit of protection is understandable, isn’t it?"
Jiang Yulan’s eyelid twitched as she said, "Sword Spirit, that’s a bit wide a swipe to take. Don’t make baseless accusations."
Mu Jianling snorted disdainfully, "Hmph~"
Professor Ye Hong’s face darkened immediately. What did Mu Jianling mean by this? Clearly targeting all staff in the Material Department, and by extension, himself? He abruptly stood up—
Principal Hong suddenly interjected, "Everyone sit down! How does it look, making a ruckus in front of the students."
Though Principal Hong’s tone was moderate and his voice not loud, the tense atmosphere in the room eased somewhat once he finished speaking.
