Chapter 1565: Talking Tough

Together with Nalan Chunbo were Dean Fang, the chancellor, and Professor Yin.
Professor Yin was happily making his complaint in the office. Sure he was a crafty old scoundrel himself, but it always felt good to have dirt on someone. People like Professor Yin would argue a point to death, even if it was not legit.
“The university was just as shocked to learn about this, Mr. Nalan, but—”
“About the thesis, Mr. Chancellor, I think we need to look deeper into it,” Mr. Fang interrupted the chancellor. It was him who put in a lot of time and effort to recruit Nalan Chunbo, and Nalan Chunbo was not going to let a student be made a scapegoat, especially if that student was Wen Shan.
“What do you mean, Mr. Fang? Are you saying that I copied a student’s thesis?” Yin Zhengdao widened his small eyes and yelled, “Just look at the dates, Mr. Fang. Who published it first? Wen Shan is a disobedient student, and she is even in a relationship with our new dean.”
“Professor Yin would not copy the thesis of a student and we all know that,” said Nalan Chunbo, “I will not participate in the investigation against Wen Shan, nor will I investigate as the dean into whether Professor Yin actually copied the thesis of a student. But as the guardian of Wen Shan, I shall have all rights to investigate this incident personally, and I hope Professor Yin will be as confident then as you are now,” Nalan Chunbo said coldly and walked slowly towards Professor Yin.
“You have to have evidence to support what you are saying, Mr. Nalan. Did you see it with your own eyes that I copied that student’s thesis? I don’t think this would help your reputation if you are framing me for this simply because of your relationship with Wen Shan,” Yin Zhengdao said threateningly, looking directly into Nalan Chunbo’s eyes.
Nalan Chunbo lowered his head and tidied his shirt slowly. It was a clear warning to Yin Zhengdao when he looked up at him and said simply, “Then try to hide your dirty little secret. It will be up to the judge whether I am framing you for this or not.”
Yin Zhengdao shuddered unconsciously.
“You are a highly respected university professor after all. I would have just let this slip for the sake of the chancellor if you just resigned. Since you didn’t appreciate my kindness, let’s see who is faster – you trying to hide your dirty little secret, or me uncovering it.”
Nalan Chunbo wasn’t loud but he was threatening Yin Zhengdao, and it was so obvious that even the chancellor and Mr. Fang could hear what he said.
Nalan Chunbo was not afraid of being heard though.
“I might have to trouble you to hold the position of dean for a little longer, Mr. Fang. I will be back after this incident is over,” Nalan Chunbo looked at Mr. Fang and said politely.
Mr. Fang nodded without hesitation. The only thing he could ask for at this point was for Nalan Chunbo to still be willing to return to the university.
Nalan Chunbo glanced at Yin Zhengdao on his way out from the office, curving his lips into a dangerous smile.
“A young man full of bluster! He is in China now, not Country X where he used to be,” said Yin Zhengdao loudly, “please don’t listen to that young man, Mr. Chancellor, Mr. Fang. He is—”
Mr. Fang gave Yin Zhengdao a cold stare and left the office.
