Chapter 166: Chapter 127: Do You Know a Hateful Guy Named Ah Bao?

"Exactly! With Xiangxiang’s abilities, does she really need to worry about those girls stealing her spotlight?"

Hearing so many voices defending Lin Zhenxiang, the girl who had slapped her began to wonder if she had wrongly accused an innocent person.

Only the girl in the white dress, E Yue, remained firm in her conviction.

"Lin Zhenxiang, drop the clumsy lies and cut the fake act!"

Now that things had come to this, she was wide awake, her understanding of Lin Zhenxiang’s true colors deepening.

"You’ve been spouting nothing but lies from the very beginning! Claiming you didn’t know about the presentation today? Saying you were dressed up so nicely because you just got out of the hospital? And you were going to have your butler bring clothes for the other girls to borrow? If you had time for that, why didn’t you just have him bring you your own school uniform?!

You use despicable methods to do so many dirty deeds, all while pretending to be righteous. And now that you’ve been exposed, who are you putting on this poor, wronged act for? Have you all forgotten? She once colluded with an interstellar hacker to forge evidence and wrongfully imprison someone!

You deserved it when his son tracked you down at school for revenge! You’re always faking your kindness. People like you are the absolute worst!"

The more fiercely she was attacked, the harder and more pitifully Lin Zhenxiang cried.

Tears streamed down her face as she repeatedly denied it to Wan Shanyan and the students around her. "I didn’t! I didn’t do it! It really wasn’t me!"

"Enough!" Wan Shanyan commanded. "Everyone, get in line! Anyone who makes another sound can leave the auditorium!"

Lin Zhenxiang bit her lip, stifling her sobs. Jostled by the resentful girls around her, she was forced to the very back of the line.

She held her delicate frame rigid, the malice in her eyes masked by a thick veil of tears.

’How did it come to this?’

’My plan... it shouldn’t have gone wrong!’

’Who in the world let them out of that warehouse?’

Hearing the girls whispering in line, Lin Zhenxiang finally realized that Shu Yao was one of the people who had ruined her plan!

The darkness in her heart swelled with rage!

The presentation began.

The host began her opening remarks, her voice filled with excitement.

"Esteemed teachers and fellow students, good afternoon..." She hadn’t even finished this one short sentence before she’d already glanced backstage several times.

Nearly everyone in the audience followed her gaze, their eyes fixed on the same spot backstage.

The speaker’s identity was about to be revealed. The thrilling moment had finally arrived!

The host announced, "Please welcome the representative from Imperial University, our lecturer for today, the Supreme Commander of the Federation..."

Before she could finish, the entire auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.

The host’s voice was drowned out by the unending wave of sound.

A man ascended the stage with a steady, unhurried pace. He was tall, with long legs and a commanding presence. His dark gray uniform, crisp and perfectly tailored, added an air of understated authority.

Qin Shiwei stood at the lectern. As his dark green eyes swept across the crowd, they landed instantly on the woman in the line he had been longing to see.

Shu Yao gave him a playful wink.

It was as if the hard ice in the man’s deep eyes melted, letting in a sliver of warm sunlight.

POP. Xiao Juzi’s head poked out from a hole in his mom’s clothes. He craned his neck curiously to look at the stage, but his view was blocked by the student in front of him.

To keep him from being discovered, Shu Yao pushed his head back down.

’The applause all around was thunderous. Who could possibly make everyone this excited?’

Xiao Juzi was just too curious to hold back. POP. His head poked out again.

Seeing the small head peeking out from Shu Yao’s collar, the man on stage froze, a glint of cold light in his eyes.

In an instant, the fervent atmosphere plummeted. The entire auditorium felt as if it had been plunged into a cryo-chamber, a bone-chilling cold seeping into the air.

The applause dwindled. In less than five seconds, the hall fell completely silent.

Xiao Juzi recognized the man on the stage.

’It was that smug guy he’d seen at the victory celebration and at Luoxing Port!’

’So many people are clapping for him. He really is smug!’

’Look at that smug look on his face!’

Xiao Juzi’s kitty-paws were ready to strike.

The man on stage shifted his gaze. Throughout his speech, his eyes would subtly drift toward Shu Yao.

"Hello, everyone. I am a graduate of the Imperial University Military Academy. On behalf of Imperial University, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all students attending today’s presentation..."

"Mommy, I gotta go potty."

’This little guy really knows how to pick his moments. The presentation just started!’

"Hold it!"

Xiao Juzi squirmed uncomfortably in his fluffy little body. "But I’ve been holding it for a really long time..."
