The Privilege of the Elite Laboratory

Teacher Wu was a highly respected figure at Nan High School, embodying the prestige of the top academic institution. Everyone admired him. When Wen Xinyue made her accusations, the crowd immediately turned hostile.

"Seriously, how could she do something like this?"

"Ugh, I knew it all along. She's just a country girl, jealous of Wen Xinyue, a real heiress. She'd do anything out of envy."

"That's too much, even stealing."

"The lab reagents aren't cheap or simple. They cost tens of thousands of dollars, and who knows what she did with them? She might have harmed someone! We should call the police!"

"Yeah, call the police!"

The crowd buzzed with disdain, their eyes filled with contempt as they glared at Ji Chuxing.

Zhao Feifei, who had followed her out, was seething: "Ji God!"

She wanted to hit someone so badly!

These people needed to be taught a lesson; what was there to discuss with such idiots?

If Ji Chuxing hadn't held her back, Lu Xing would have punched them all. Who did they think they were, daring to criticize Ji God?

Ji Chuxing nodded calmly: "It's fine."

She didn't seem the least bit worried about the situation.

She spoke to Zhao Feifei and Lu Xing, then pulled out her phone and started fiddling with it, completely ignoring the crowd.

Her seemingly arrogant demeanor immediately infuriated everyone.

"With both witnesses and evidence, why don't you admit it?"

"How can you be so shameless? Do you need to see a coffin before you cry?"

Wen Xinyue, as if making a grand gesture, said, "Sister, if you want to work with Teacher Wu on the experiment, I can give you my assistant position. But doing something like this will make our mother sad!"

"Idiot!" Zhao Feifei couldn't hold back, "Our Ji God needs your position? When Teacher Wu personally came to Class 16 to consult Ji God about an experiment, you were still hiding in some corner. How dare you even think you're worthy?"

"Exactly!" Lu Xing chimed in, "Our Ji God can enter the lab whenever she wants and do whatever she wants. Teacher Wu personally invited her, and you're blind to that!"

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into mocking laughter.

Lv Yang laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke: "Huh? Teacher Wu personally came to consult her? You must be crazy. She's just a janitor in the lab. Even professors from North City University wouldn't get Teacher Wu to bow down and ask for help!"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. Why didn't she say the principal personally invited her to use the special lab in the building?"

"Absolutely insane. Ignorance is truly fearless. They have no idea what using the lab means to Nan High School."

"Such arrogance! Why don't you say that Professor Smith, the world's top chemistry professor, is also her teacher?"

Zhao Feifei wanted to drain the stupidity out of these people's heads.

Ji Chuxing, on the other hand, remained calm, continuing to fiddle with her phone.

At that moment, Teacher Wu entered from outside, and the sharp-eyed students spotted him from a distance.

"Teacher Wu!"

Someone immediately went to fetch him: "Teacher Wu, someone here is boasting that you consulted her on chemistry problems. She also stole reagents from the lab and ruined your experiment!"

Teacher Wu walked over, looking confused.

Wen Xinyue, as if finding a supportive elder, said, "Teacher... considering this is Ji's first offense, please don't punish her too harshly. She didn't mean it; she's just angry with me."

Teacher Wu, still confused, looked at Wen Xinyue and then at Ji Chuxing, his face lighting up with surprise: "Ji, what are you doing here?"

He had been thinking about the experiment he discussed with Ji Chuxing earlier and was still in that mindset. Seeing Ji Chuxing, he eagerly started discussing: "By the way, I thought about the experiment we discussed last time. Perhaps we can improve the purity of the reactants this way."

Teacher Wu then went on to explain his thoughts.

Ji Chuxing listened, undisturbed by the others, and after he finished, she nodded: "That method is feasible, but following your approach, the process is too complex. A slight miscalculation in timing could ruin the entire sequence. I suggest reducing the amount of mercuric oxide in the second step..."

The people around were stunned, unable to understand the conversation between Ji Chuxing and Teacher Wu, but they felt it was impressive nonetheless.

Wen Xinyue was completely dumbfounded. It was all about chemistry experiments, so why couldn't she understand?

And why could Ji Chuxing communicate so smoothly with Teacher Wu?

Moreover, why was Teacher Wu so humble and respectful towards her?

How could this be?

Ji Chuxing was clearly a poor student who never passed her chemistry exams!

Wen Xinyue wondered if she was dreaming.

After discussing with Ji Chuxing, Wu Fangying felt enlightened: "I'll try it right away. I'm confident it will work this time."

Only then did he remember the accusations of ruining the experiment and stealing reagents.

"Who's the thief?" Teacher Wu asked.

Zhao Feifei was overjoyed, watching them get their comeuppance: "Teacher Wu, Wen Xinyue said that our Ji God stole reagents from your lab and ruined her experiment, almost injuring her. She also said she would give her assistant position to Ji. I wonder, is that necessary, don't you think?"

Lv Yang also reacted, though he was still processing the exchange between Ji Chuxing and Wu Fangying. He repeated the earlier accusations.

"Teacher Wu, it's her!"

Wu Fangying looked at Wen Xinyue and Lv Yang with a strange expression, then pointed at Ji Chuxing: "You say she stole reagents and ruined your experiment?"

At this point, Wen Xinyue realized things were out of her control, but she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"She's responsible for cleaning the lab, and the surveillance shows she was the last one to leave the lab."

Wu Fangying pointed at Ji Chuxing: "She has special access to the lab and full usage rights to all the equipment and reagents. I even borrow from her. You say she stole reagents?"

A bombshell!

Everyone present: "?!?"
