100: Chapter 100 Su Ming's Favor

"Huh? Expelled?"

Zhou Zhengyi never expected things to become this serious.

He wasn't afraid of Lin Yi confronting him, or even the police or a lawsuit.

Because he had done his homework beforehand; he hadn't done anything excessive.

The recordings and photos were authentic; he hadn't maliciously manipulated them.

However, as a university student, the one thing he feared most was the school administration intervening.

Especially now that his counselor was saying he would be expelled if he didn't delete the post and apologize.

This was, for a university student... completely unacceptable.

Damn it... what kind of background does Lin Yi have?

To be able to hold the president accountable?

This is completely absurd!

He is just a freshman, how does he have this power? And the president is actually protecting Lin Yi!

Could it be that Lin Yi has some other background?

...

Just three minutes ago, Shen Yuanyuan, the secretary of Li Runze, had made a direct call to the office of the president of Nanling University.

President Gao Jianguo had been leisurely reading his newspaper, but after hearing what the other party said on the phone, he was immediately broken out in a cold sweat.

Gao Jianguo had, of course, heard of the Li Group.

Now that the other party had made it very clear, if Gao Jianguo didn't handle this student who posted, it would be equivalent to harboring a grudge with the Li Group.

If a lawsuit were to arise, causing damage to the reputation of Nanling University, then his tenure as president could be considered over.

Gao Jianguo certainly knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

Consequently, he hurriedly contacted the teacher managing the campus forum, found the information of this anonymous student who posted, and immediately called Zhou Zhengyi's counselor, scolding him severely.

The counselor, who was kept in the dark, after being scolded by the president, turned around and called Zhou Zhengyi.

"Think clearly about why you got into university!"

"If you get expelled, it will have a huge impact on your entire future."

"Think it through carefully, delete the post immediately, and then apologize publicly!"

The counselor hung up the phone in anger.

Zhou Zhengyi stood there, stunned, holding his phone that had already disconnected.

In fact, he had no choice.

Even if he stubbornly refused to delete it, the school could simply delete his post through the backend.

Now that they were willing to give him a chance, it was nothing more than wanting him to apologize publicly.

To completely cement this matter as his own slander against Lin Yi and Su Ming.

Although Zhou Zhengyi was unwilling, he had no other way.

He couldn't possibly gamble with his own future.

It wasn't worth it.

For Lin Yi, even if it were confirmed that he was a scumbag, at most it would only affect his reputation among classmates.

Aside from that, it had no other impact on him.

Zhou Zhengyi had originally just wanted to disgust Lin Yi.

There was no need to sacrifice himself for such a trivial matter.

A wise man knows when to yield!

After thinking it through, Zhou Zhengyi reluctantly logged into his campus forum account and deleted that post.

He also publicly posted a statement.

He claimed that the recording from earlier was fake, and the reason was that he was jealous of Lin Yi for being too outstanding.

The students on the campus forum who had been waiting for the original poster to continue releasing concrete evidence were instantly unsettled after seeing this statement.

"Damn, are you treating us like monkeys?"

"I hate people like this who have no moral bottom line just to get attention."

"So, that means my goddess Su Ming was wronged?"

"I just knew it, how could Su Ming be that kind of person."

"I think so too, although Lin Yi is excellent, it wouldn't make Goddess Su lower herself like that."

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse, the original poster deleted that post, it seems it really was a rumor."

"Rumors stop with the wise. I didn't take a side earlier, everyone should be rational gossipers in the future."

"Yeah, don't judge without knowing the full picture!"

"Looking at it this way, Lin Yi is actually quite tough. He didn't back down when encountering such things. If it were me, if I were wronged by so many people, I probably would have only dared to swallow my grievances."

"And this matter actually didn't have much impact on Lin Yi. In the end, it was just suspecting that he and the school beauty Su Ming had an ambiguous relationship. That's the school beauty! If I were rumored to be with Su Ming, I would feel honored!"

"That shows Lin Yi is a real man, he didn't want these rumors to affect Su Ming."

"He's responsible! I've become his fan!"

"I was already his fan. Didn't you see the scene when he played the Piano during the club recruitment?"

"He should have quite a few admirers around him, so the ones captured in photos are perfectly normal!"

"Is this the legendary priority for mate selection? So envious..."

"If you're envious, go learn the Piano too! Girls nowadays like people with skills!"

Following Zhou Zhengyi's public apology on the school forum, the online opinion about Lin Yi also suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

The current situation online is just like this: one second they hate you to the bone, the next second, after seeing new developments, they praise you to the heavens.

Everyone is a fence-sitter, leaning wherever the wind blows.

...

In a study room at the school library, Su Ming also saw the whole process of this matter through her phone.

When several close classmates forwarded the online post to her, she was indeed panicked.

Because she knew that the recording was indeed real.

It's just that the situation wasn't what everyone thought.

Just when Su Ming didn't know how this matter would end, she saw Lin Yi domineeringly state his stance under that post.

And his tone was tough.

Not long after, the other party wisely admitted their mistake.

Su Ming wasn't an innocent young girl; she certainly knew that Lin Yi must have taken other measures through other channels.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have backed down so quickly.

It was very likely that Lin Yi had contacted school leadership.

And it was very likely that he had applied pressure to the leadership through certain channels.

Thunderous means, decisive action!

This is the kind of man Su Ming admires most.

There were even many people online starting to take the initiative to speak well of Su Ming.

This was clearly paid shills.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi was so thoughtful, he even thought of this...

Su Ming: Affection +3 points.

Current Affection: 58 points.

"Ding, detected that binded target Su Ming's affection has increased, congratulations to the host for obtaining 3 points."

Lin Yi was at home worrying about how to solve this, when he suddenly heard the system prompt in his mind.

"What's the situation? It was a crisis, why did Su Ming's affection increase instead?"

"Could it be that she likes being rumored to be with me?"

Lin Yi was full of confusion. He opened his phone and logged into the campus forum, intending to see if there were any new developments.

After logging into the campus forum, Lin Yi was stunned.

What happened?

The other party actually apologized?

Could it be... did those two sentences of his threat scare him?

The other party even voluntarily admitted that the recording was fake.

But... but that recording was indeed real...

This person... is he schizophrenic?
