Even Fang Xiaoming's face turned pale. Who would have thought that Ling Yun had set up this in the dormitory without anyone noticing? Although they didn't know what was inside the chip, their intuition told them that it was definitely not something that would benefit them.
Did he already know who we were? And did he do this in advance? That's impossible, he's just a student, a student! Qin Zhengwei thought nervously, the smug smile on his face long gone from when he broke down the door.
Ling Yun took a card reader from the drawer, inserted the miniature chip, and plugged it into the port of the living room computer. He shrugged at the burly campus police officer: "Officer, to avoid suspicion, would you please open the contents here?"
The burly campus police officer was bewildered. He glanced at him suspiciously, walked to the computer, sat down, and, touching the mouse, asked, "What is this thing?"
Everyone, including the dean, looked at Ling Yun with questioning eyes. Even Xiaoqian looked surprised as she helped the still unconscious Lü Xing to his feet and craned her neck to look at the 22-inch LCD screen of the computer.
Ling Yun smiled calmly and looked at Qin Zhengwei and Fang Xiaoming: "You'll know once you open it."
Curious, the burly campus policeman clicked on the card reader with his mouse. The contents were simple: a folder containing only a RealPlayer video file. Without thinking, the burly campus policeman double-clicked the video file, opened it, and then maximized it.
Ling Yun crouched down and turned the volume control of the speakers behind the computer desk to maximum. The entire room quieted down, and everyone stared intently at the computer screen, with a deep and stable hum coming from the computer case.
The video was initially shaky, and there was a lot of noise coming from the speakers. But after only a few seconds, as the static decreased and the image quality became clearer, everyone perked up. Even the dean held his breath, intently watching to see what was being recorded in the video.
Because the camera was installed at a fixed angle, the entire frame only showed a wide-angle lens, pointing directly at the living room area of the bedroom. The upper right corner of the video feed also displayed the electronic time at the time of recording.
Clearly, the living room in the camera's view was the 308 dormitory where everyone was currently located. At this moment, everyone suddenly realized what Ling Yun's so-called evidence was. They hadn't expected this student to have installed a camera in the dormitory, recording every aspect of their lives. This would naturally include footage of Ling Yun's "malicious intentions," and thus, the truth was finally revealed.
The time displayed on the screen was around 9:00 AM. Judging from this time, Ling Yun should still be in the classroom debating genetics with Glasses. Meanwhile, in the living room of dormitory 308, there was only one man and one woman, Lü Xing and Xiao Qian. Their conversation was clearly audible through the amplified speakers.
Chapter 127 A Scandalous Affair (5)
“Aside from attending classes, Ling Yun usually stays in his dormitory. We’ve been observing this habit of his for a long time, and it’s generally reliable. Today, the Department of Bioengineering only has one class in the morning, which ends around 10:30. He will then return to his dormitory. At that time, you should follow the plan we’ve set.” This was Lü Xing’s voice.
In the video, Xiaoqian thought for a moment and said with some worry, "What if he suddenly has something come up and doesn't come back? Am I just going to wait here like this?"
Lu Xing shrugged indifferently: "Then wait for the next time. There's plenty of time. He'll come back eventually. You pretend to seduce him, preferably get him to take off his clothes, and then when he's in heat, you yell for help. Then I'll bring my men in and catch him red-handed."
Xiaoqian leaned back on the sofa and smiled charmingly: "You really have the heart to send me to the wolf's den? If I seduce that Ling Yun, he'll eat me alive. Don't pretend to be a virgin and end up cheating on you."
Lu Xing snorted: "You're quite the charmer, aren't you? I'm warning you, don't take this too seriously. This is serious business, so don't mess it up, or I won't let you off the hook. You think Ling Yun is just a country bumpkin? Actually, he's incredibly powerful. Even Xiaoming, who's so strong, couldn't withstand one punch from him. If it weren't for that, we would have kicked him out of this dorm as soon as school started. Why would we need to use your honey trap?"
Xiaoqian said lazily, "You guys just know how to use me anyway. You think this will get rid of that country bumpkin? You're thinking too simply. The police won't believe you."
"It doesn't matter," Lü Xing said, shrugging. "Jinghua University has very strict management. Even if he didn't commit the crime, or even if he's just suspected, the university will expel him to protect its reputation. Once he's expelled, dealing with him will be much easier. We have plenty of ways to handle things." He then let out a cold laugh.
Xiaoqian crossed her long, slender legs: "I'll act if you want, but how are you going to compensate me afterwards? Don't think you can get rid of me with that little bit of money. I know what kind of people you are..."
"Shut up!" Lu Xing suddenly said fiercely, "You stupid woman, don't think that just because you slept with me for two and a half days, you can bargain with me. Believe me or not, I can make you disappear without a trace overnight. You better behave yourself and do as I say. I will give you what you deserve. Don't always pretend to be an equal in front of me. You don't deserve it at all."
Xiaoqian looked at Lü Xing with a little fear. She didn't dare to really talk back to him, but she would sometimes grumble. "All you do is bully women," she said softly, her eyes looking away.
“Remember your duty and don’t mess things up.” Lu Xing stood up with a gloomy face. “I’ll go out and contact the school and the police first. Ling Yun will be back soon. You should get your emotions in order and decide how to act.”
…………
The next scene shows Xiaoqian quietly waiting for Lingyun's return in the dormitory. Then, everyone enjoys a scene where Xiaoqian, who was just now full of grief and indignation accusing Lingyun of being a beast, seduces him with her charm, and then suddenly changes her expression and shouts for help, and the whole process of everyone breaking down the door at just the right time.
Everyone wore a knowing look of realization, their expressions shifting from shock to admiration, and then to confusion. In the blink of an eye, their expressions had changed several times.
"I don't know if this counts as evidence." Ling Yun gently pressed a key on the keyboard, and the video feed was immediately turned off. "Officer." He stared intently at the burly campus police officer.
The burly campus police officer silently stood up, gave Ling Yun a complicated look, then turned to Qin Zhengwei and said sternly, "Can you explain what's going on here?"
When Qin Zhengwei saw Lü Xing and Xiaoqian's figures appear on the video, he knew it was all over. But now that the frame-up had been exposed, there was no way to cover it up, nor could he use violence to destroy evidence in front of the police and the school. He barely watched the video throughout the entire process, constantly racking his brains for a solution. He never expected Ling Yun to be so cunning, even placing a hidden camera in the dormitory? This was something he never dreamed of.
He had initially thought Ling Yun was just an ordinary student, someone who knew a little martial arts but had only happened to have practiced since childhood, and should be easy to deal with. However, he never expected Ling Yun to be a seemingly honest but actually cunning individual. Clearly, the other party hadn't installed cameras in the dormitory for idle spying; there was another purpose. But what that purpose was, Qin Zhengwei didn't know, which filled him with deep apprehension. An unknown opponent is terrifying, because you never know what they'll do next.
Hearing the campus police's questioning, Qin Zhengwei had a sudden realization. At this point, he couldn't afford to protect Lü Xing anymore; he had to sacrifice the pawn to save the king. So, his face ashen, he explained, "I'm so sorry... Dean, Director, counselor, or police officer, I didn't understand the situation. Fang Xiaoming and I didn't know the details. It was all a conspiracy between Lü Xing and his girlfriend. Because we have a good relationship, we believed Lü Xing's words. I didn't expect that Lü Xing was framing Ling Yun. I only realized what happened after watching the video..."
He insisted that it was all orchestrated by Lü Xing alone, and that he and Fang Xiaoming were only misled by Lü Xing into reporting the case together, and that he had nothing to do with the whole process.
Everyone, including the burly campus police officer, looked at him suspiciously. In fact, most people were skeptical and didn't believe Qin Zhengwei's explanation. After all, the three of them were together, and it was obvious that Qin Zhengwei was the leader. It would be too far-fetched for him to say that he didn't know anything. However, Qin Zhengwei did not appear in the video, and Xiaoqian and Lü Xing's conversation did not mention him. Although everyone was skeptical, they were helpless.
As Qin Zhengwei spoke, he was also praying fervently in his heart, hoping that his words would not make that silly woman Xiaoqian feel betrayed and angry, and that she would expose the truth about the three of them in a fit of rage, which would really mean the end of everything.
Fortunately, Xiaoqian just stared blankly at Qin Zhengwei, somewhat confused as to why, after the truth was revealed, Qin Zhengwei suddenly turned on her and Lü Xing, desperately trying to implicate her. Wasn't Lü Xing his brother? Why would he suddenly betray his brother?
Having followed Qin Zhengwei for many years, Fang Xiaoming immediately understood Qin Zhengwei's intentions. He glanced at Xiaoqian with concern, a barely perceptible malice flashing in his eyes. If the police hadn't been there, he probably would have knocked Xiaoqian unconscious with a single blow.
With a sudden thud, Lü Xing collapsed onto the sofa. After enduring the pain from Ling Yun's kick with unwavering determination, Lü Xing finally passed out happily.
"That guy fainted at just the right time." The same thought involuntarily crossed everyone's minds. Fang Xiaoming quickly went over and placed the unconscious Lü Xingping on the sofa.
The campus security guard glared helplessly at Qin Zhengwei, then looked at the unconscious Lü Xing. He could only turn to the dean and ask, "Dean, what do you think we should do now?"
The dean frowned, thinking, "You're a police officer; you should have more experience handling criminal cases than I do. Why are you asking me about everything?" But he couldn't say that directly, so he cleared his throat and said, "It's quite clear. Lü Xing and Xiaoqian framed Ling Yun. Do what you're supposed to do."
The burly campus policeman pointed at Qin Zhengwei: "What about the rest of them?"
The dean said irritably, "Do you have any evidence to prove they conspired? If you do, investigate; if not, don't. Don't ask me about such simple things again. I'm not a police officer."
The burly campus police officer was speechless for a moment, his face flushed with embarrassment.
The dean thought for a moment, then turned to Ling Yun and said seriously, "Ling Yun, this matter is indeed not your fault, but there is a reason for it. Although you proved your innocence with the video, who allowed you to install a hidden camera in the dormitory? Installing a camera without permission is also a violation of school rules and a stain on your moral character. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise the school will deal with you seriously."
Ling Yun remained silent for a while before slowly speaking, "Dean, and all the leaders and teachers, I know it's wrong to install cameras without permission, but I had my reasons for doing so. Could you please explain?"
The dean looked at him and said, "Go ahead and speak. We all want to hear it."
"First of all, let me state that I have no dirty thoughts or bad ideas," Ling Yun said slowly, trying to pronounce each word clearly. "Even if I did, my sexual orientation is normal. If I were to install a hidden camera, I would definitely choose a girls' dormitory, not a dormitory with only boys to spy on them."
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle; the boy seemed quite honest, and what he said was rather amusing. Even several policemen couldn't help but smile. Only the dean remained unsmiling, his face slightly grim as he remained silent.
"Secondly, the reason I installed this camera was entirely for my own safety," Ling Yun continued, walking up to Qin Zhengwei and giving him a cold look. "Because I never expected that my roommates would have such a distinguished and astonishing background. If I didn't have a means of self-defense, I'm afraid they would have killed me."
