Chapter 407: Proving Her Innocence

In the end, Su Tang still fought for the chance to prove herself.
Before the morning, as long as she could produce evidence to prove that the work was her original creation, she could continue to participate in the competition.
Correspondingly, Gao Wen would be disqualified by the teacher fairly.
In the office, without Su Tang, who was in the way, Gao Wen finally sat on the chair opposite the teacher’s desk coquettishly and shouted, “Uncle, why did you speak up for her just now?! She was clearly the one who plagiarized my work!”
“I know.” The Year Head walked around the desk with a helpless expression and walked to her side to coax her softly. “I know you hate plagiarists, but we have to give her a chance to prove herself. Otherwise, if word gets out, aren’t you afraid that outsiders will say that I’m biased towards you and helped you bully your classmates outside the faculty?”
“They can say whatever they want! It’s a waste of time to give her time to mess around! Uncle, you know that my clothes are for…”
Gao Wen turned to face the man aggrievedly. Her pink lips were curled up high, making her look rather playful and cute.
“Uncle knows. Uncle knows everything. Don’t worry, she’s a plagiarist and won’t produce conclusive evidence. Just wait here obediently with Uncle. Uncle will teach her a lesson!” the Year Head comforted Gao Wen.
In order to make her words more convincing later, Gao Wen specially took out her computer and found the time when this design draft was saved and other evidence that could prove the timeline.
On the computer screen, Gao Wen’s cursor slid across a folder. That was the inspiration for her design draft this time. She had gotten someone to secretly take a photo of that person.
Gao Wen bit her lower lip, and a hint of determination flashed across her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Strangely, Su Tang looked especially busy today. She, who had always paid attention to class, actually skipped class in the morning.
Fortunately, she was usually very trustworthy with Geng Hui. He did not argue with Su Tang. Instead, seeing that she was in a hurry to leave the class, he stopped her worriedly.
He asked patiently, “Student Su Tang, did you encounter something very difficult to deal with? If you do, please tell me. I will help you resolve it.”
“I didn’t. Thank you, Teacher.” When Su Tang said this, she happened to see Shi Man size up her from the corner of her eye. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly shook her head. “Teacher, I’m really fine. I’ll leave first!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she left the classroom in a hurry.
Geng Hui looked at Shi Man, who was still in her seat, in confusion. He still walked over to ask her for help.
Shi Man knew what he wanted to say before he spoke. She nodded and said expressionlessly, “I understand. I’ll follow and watch her.”
Sometimes, when Man said this, Geng Hui instantly felt very safe. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Student Shi.”
Shi Man nodded slightly. After putting away the things, she followed Su Tang from behind.
Bai Xue was also very worried. She quietly walked to Shi Man’s side, wanting to follow her and see if there was anything she could help with.
Shi Man did not refuse. She brought Bai Xue and maintained a distance from Su Tang. She tiptoed all the way to the design school.
“Oh! I understand. Tangtang is here to participate in the competition, right?” Bai Xue blinked in understanding, her expression visibly relaxed.
However, Shi Man still gently raised her index finger to cover her lips, indicating for her not to make a sound. “Follow her and take a look.”
She was the one who suggested that Su Tang participated in this fashion design competition. How could she not know the exact time of the competition?
Seeing that the registration was about to end in less than half an hour, it was impossible for Su Tang to only submit the design draft now.
Moreover, seeing that she was in a hurry and had to clench her fists from time to time to cheer herself up, it was not difficult for Shi Man to guess that Su Tang must have encountered some problem in the design academy. Moreover, she had to resolve the matter before the deadline.
The two of them followed Su Tang to the door of the Year Head’s office. Shi Man tilted her head and leaned against the wall in the corridor, eavesdropping with Bai Xue.
At this moment, most of the students in the teaching building had already left the classroom. The corridor was not noisy, so the commotion in the office was especially clear.
There was too little time for Su Tang to prove herself. She did not have the chance to return to the Shi family to retrieve her computer. Fortunately, she always had her memory card with her. At this moment, it could be of some use.
In order to ensure the fairness of the punishment, the Year Head took the effort to get many colleagues to stay in the office.
Gao Wen still glared at the girl standing at the door arrogantly. Su Tang’s helplessness turned into guilt in her eyes.
The expression on her face became even more mocking. “Why? If you can’t find evidence, i advise you to apologize as soon as possible.. Otherwise, I can send you to the police station based on your plagiarism!”
