Chapter 65: offers.

Qin Qianyu looked at the man like he was an idiot and asked nonchalantly,

"Start what?"

"Don't play the fool girl! Get that sexy young body of yours out of those clothes!"

"Whoa! Hold up! Why would I do that!?"

"I don't give out offers to just anyone! Are you sure you want to decline my offer? What a . . "

Qin Qianyu cut him off mid sentence as she retorted back,

"Whatever I want I'll get with my merits! You've seen the results of yesterday's test why would I need your help?"

"That deal you offered me was only if I wanted to get into Zhishi. Just because it's touted as the best doesn't mean it actually is the best Vice principle. There are so many top quality universities for me to attend and from what you've shown me, it will be in my best interest to not choose Zhishi."

"You stupid bitch! Who would take you!? Do you think I'll let you have it good and easy!? I'll show you suffering the likes which you'll never imagine. Just hearing my name sends shivers down the spines of all the other universities in this country! . . Not just them either!, even the authorities fall to their knees before me. How do you think that kid and his friends got off? Look how long it took me to get them to "lose" the evidence of their crime!"

" . . . "

"My power is unimaginable, use your head! Aren't you supposed to be smart!? Let me enlighten you a bit then since you seem to not fully understand the situation. If I can make evidence disappear what makes you think I can't do the same with you and your family!? If that's what you want, I'll be more than happy to oblige."

"But first, . . "

"What are you doing!?"

"Heh! I am King! Your lord! I take what I want when I want! And I want to take you here and now! Whose going to stop me!?"

Zhao grabbed Qin Qianyu's wrist and tried to pin her arm over her head, however he couldn't make it budge.

He frowned at her, then became apprehensive, when he saw the calm look on her face. It was like she were looking at air,

"SEPEI! . . . Get the hell away from her!"

A loud voice shouted out of nowhere.

The voice shook the vice principal and he let go of the wrist he was holding. When he and Qin Qianyu saw the person running towards them, he was shocked to see a large group of people trailing behind her.

Vice principal Zhao cleared his throat and adjusted his collar and cuffs and put on his trademark smiling face.

He stepped away from Qin Qianyu and started acting as if nothing had ever happened.

Lu Mingyu came up to Qin Qianyu with a scared and worried face.

"I'm so glad that you told us where you were meeting, it must have been scary. Don't worry, I've brought help."

Vice principal Zhao cocked an eyebrow at both girls. His thoughts escaped the confines of his mind and showed on his face as looked both girls over.

The pair saw this and became disgusted. Then as simple as flipping a switch, he remembered his surroundings then without pause, he started speaking nonchalantly as more people started crowding around them,

"Well Miss Qin, like I said, cheating is cheating, I don't care what you want to offer me, just know I'll never stoop so low. I will never or ever do anything to besmirch the sanctity of SIC! . . Now if you will excuse me, I'll be heading to today's computer science test."

When Qin Qianyu heard that her eyes snapped open in realisation.

"You fucking prick!"

Qin Qianyu yelled. She grabbed at his wrist swinging him around. She cocked her arm and landed a punch squarely on his face.

The sting flashed across his face and he groaned loudly in pain as he clutched his face.

But she didn't stop there, she threw a spear kick into his waistline toppling him onto the ground then followed it up with a kick to his stomach, a stomp to his thighs, knees then finally his groin.

Then she started making her way up his body stomping as she went.

She only stopped when security and police pulled her off him.

"You are so done you little bitch!"

"You! I want this hooligan arrested! Not only did she cheat during the competition she even had the audacity to solicit me to change the outcome of her cheating! So you should also add prostitution onto her list of offences too!"

Vice principal Zhao hollered as he lay on the ground. Then his face changed, it became sinister as he continued,

"Heh! Little girl this isn't over for you either, I'll definitely make you regret everything . . Just you wait!"

Qin Qianyu nodded at the man and said flatly,

"Oh! Okay! . . Sure!"

"Well what are you waiting for!? Arrest this animal!? . . Wait . . Stop! What the hell are you doing!?"

The police picked vice principal Zhao up and placed cuffs on him. This surprised him and he started to lash out.

Lu Mingyu went up to calm Qin Qianyu down. She rubbed her back reassuringly saying nothing, she could only imagine what Qin Qianyu had to endure.

Qin Qianyu did calm down and thanked Lu Mingyu. She then added,

"What he said set me off, I just realised that if we went to Zhishi, then Big sister Wú Ling, she would have been in his classes."

In Qin Qianyu's mind, it was probably because of him that she never heard anything about Wen Wú Ling in her former life despite the girl's genius.

It made sense to her then. He must had done something to her which was why she hadn't heard anything about Wen Wú Ling when she attended Zhishi.

As she thought to that time, she remembered that there was a new Vice principle that had only been at the school for a few years.

Rumours had it that the former vice principal had resigned over the improper handling of a situation but if she put together his actions here and the fact that there was no mention at all about Wen Wú Ling the timing absolutely fits.

"Ahh! You're right! . . You know what!? That scum definitely would have tried something, I have no doubt about that."

Lu Mingyu stated.

As the police were taking vice principle Zhao away he was resisting as much as he could, he was shouting and yelling like a dog suffering from rabies.

"Let me go! Don't you know who I am!? I'm the vice principle of Zhishi University."

"Yes you are! Cant you tell by the way my spine shivered that I know your name?"

"Huh!?"

"How about this, when we get back to the station and I tell you to strip! You better show me your flesh!"

"You . . You heard me!?"

"Hmph! Everyone here did! They all saw and heard everything you said and did! You're right! Technology is a wonderful thing."

When vice principal Zhao heard this, his body went limp.

Qin Qianyu sent a message to Lu Mingyu saying that the meeting wouldn't be simple so she wanted to stream it for safety.

Teacher Mu and lu Mingyu commandeered all the monitors in the venue and replaced all the outputting playbacks on them with the stream Qin Qianyu had started before meeting with Zhao.

"Well, look at the bright side. Where you'll be going, they also share your taste of fresh meat, especially the meat of fallen "kings" that prey on children! They like seeing things like that break."

"No, no, please, I've been set up! It's a frame job! I'm being framed."

When he saw that he was being streamed to every monitor in the venue he looked to where the camera was coming from and saw Qin Qianyu staring back at him stone faced

"You bitch! What have you done! You! Renshi, Zhou Shen and his stupid son! It's all because of you lot! All because he has an idiot for a son!"

At the mention of Prof. Zhou, Qin Qianyu had turned towards where he was standing and he soon showed up on the monitors as Qin Qianyu still had her phone streaming.

He tried to run, but he didn't get away as he also went limp, everything was exposed to all, he wouldn't be able to escape it, nor would his son.

The adjudicator that had told Qin Qianyu earlier in the day that there was nothing that she could do about her problem felt guilty for not doing more, when she saw what the vice principal of Zhishi wanted and was about to do to Qin Qianyu, her skin crept weirdly and she couldn't help but blame herself for putting Qin Qianyu in that situation.

She quickly ran up to Qin Qianyu and bowed while offering her apology.

"Miss Qin, I'm really sorry, I hope you'll forgive me, . . "

Qin Qianyu cut the woman off as she stated bluntly,

"You're not sorry for what happened to me are you. Before all of this came to light, before everyone even saw vice principal Zhao's evil intentions and true colours, even when I had came to you earlier seeking redress, were you ever sorry for me? . . No you weren't! Worse still, you were the one that sent me to him, how many others have you sent to that animal!? You're only sorry now because they've been caught, you're only sorry now because things have been exposed. Your apology is insincere thus I will not accept it . . ever!"

Qin Qianyu turned her stream off and sneered at the woman as she too went limp as she flopped to the ground. People started looking at her in shock, they all had the same thoughts

"Just how many people did all this involve?"

Qin Qianyu took lu Mingyu by the hand and left the chaos behind her.

"Sister Mingyu, have you finished what you set out to do?

"Mhm."

"Great, well I'm free for the rest of the day, let's hang out."

"What about the test!?"

"I've missed it already, it started a few minutes ago, plus, since I've change my mind about Zhishi, missing that test won't affect me."

"Okay, um, can I bring a friend along?"

"Sure, the more the merrier right?"

Lu Mingyu made some calls but couldn't reach her friend.

"Strange, she told me that she was performing here, could something have happened?"

Lu Mingyu muttered. After what had just transpired here thoughts couldn't help but move in that direction.

Qin Qianyu enquired and looked at Lu Mingyu in shock! The friend that Lu Mingyu was looking for was Cheng Yifei.

Qin Qianyu quickly explained exactly what had happened to her. The pair soon caught a taxi to the hospital so that Lu Mingyu could see her.

Qin Qianyu learnt that the pair had met in the capital over a year ago. Cheng Yifei was out busking at the time.

"She showcased her guzheng skills but the highlight was her singing voice. It really took you to another world."

Qin Qianyu listened as Lu Mingyu spoke highly of Cheng Yifei's skills.

The pair learnt more about each other over correspondence and Lu Mingyu told Cheng Yifei her desire to learn TCM due to meeting a fantastic woman who had helped her when she was ill.

"So the Fox was her motivation for wanting to learn TCM, mhm, good for her."

Qin Qianyu said to herself. She now realised that Mingyu wasn't just here for her sister, but also herself. The taxi pulled up to the hospital and the pair entered to look for Cheng Yifei.

For the rest of the day and the days to follow, the nation would speak of nothing else but SIC.

SIC quickly became a shambles as the events of what had happened began gaining traction with local, national and international media.

Besides Zhishi University, many of the events major sponsors and corporations that backed Zhishi where heavily affected.

Science Innovation China was now under wide scrutiny. People started asking if there were any other underhanded methods used for past participating individuals and also called into question the validity of passed winners and results as many of the past winners that went on to Zhishi hadn't made any contributions to the the scientific community since gaining the coveted entry spots.

SIC's English title soon had a new meaning trending online with many netizens renaming it Sexualised Indoctrination of Children.

Those that stood up to defend Zhishi and its sponsors where quickly shot down by the ever growing and angry masses.

Even idols and celebrities became affected as anti fans attacked those that had ever spoken highly about Zhishi and worse still if they were an alumni.

Hybrid Memes started making the rounds. These were typically a mash up of an already popular meme and footage taken from the stream of vice principle Zhao.

One such meme showed two cats one being friendly and playful, then a third cat interrupts them, it's presumably the "wife" that catches the "husband" with its mistress.

The entire cat clip was re-edited with the audio of vice principle Zhao "coaxing" the other to undress and stick its arse out before getting caught and yelling that it was a frame up.

The entire incident didn't just embarrass the government, but the nation as a whole. They soon became the butt of the joke for some of their more unfriendly neighbours.

A full scale investigation was sanctioned into Zhishi, Vice principle Zhao, any and all of his cohorts and backers.

The local law enforcement were also dragged into it as they had been implicated by having the true culprits in the poisoning case let off.

There were some very worried officers inside the police station. Some decided to make a run for it rather than face the persecution due to their actions.

PIT was sent in to facilitate and investigate the local bodies, the SIC incident and Zhishi.

Qin Qianyu couldn't care less about all that anymore as she was consoling a broken and weeping Lu Mingyu.
