Chen Hao gritted his teeth as he left the classroom and went straight to the school office to find Yan Liang.
In the past, Yan Liang had always been proud of himself. When he graduated from his undergraduate degree, he bribed the leaders to stay in the school and became a counselor. In the past few years, he used his authority to get a postgraduate position.
As a postgraduate at Yenching University, this title was very intimidating.
But ever since Tang Zheng entered the school, he realized that Tang Zheng was his nemesis. Tang Zheng repeatedly went against his wishes and embarrassed him.
Especially during the martial arts convention, when Tang Zheng heavily injured Yu Zhankui in front of him. This almost scared Yan Liang out of his wits.
After that, he gave up and did not confront Tang Zheng head-on, but the hatred in his heart never disappeared. Instead, it grew with each passing day.
When he heard Chen Hao's complaint, Yan Liang pondered for a moment and said with righteous indignation: "Chen Hao, you did the right thing. Students of Yenching University should have a sense of justice. Tang Zheng relied on his close relationship with some professors to not care about the school and the school's rules. This has a very bad influence and has seriously affected the school's normal teaching order. Although his grades are not bad, if a person's morals are too bad, then what's the point of having good grades? Instead, it will cause great harm to society. I support you. "
△⊥，
Chen Hao's eyes lit up as he beamed with joy. He originally came to ask for help with a nervous heart, but he didn't expect the counselor to be so loyal.
"Hmph, Tang Zheng, you've made too many enemies. God is helping me!" Chen Hao thought proudly.
"Counselor, then we should use this opportunity to give him a severe punishment."
Yan Liang nodded mysteriously: "It's not good for a teacher to do something like this. Otherwise, the other students will think that the teacher is targeting him. Your method is excellent. Let the students decide for themselves. This is the will of the people. Our Yenching University values democracy the most."
Although Chen Hao was slightly disappointed, he was also encouraged. His actions were recognized, so he should continue.
"Counselor, I understand. I will mobilize my classmates to make sure that he loses his scholarship," Chen Hao vowed.
In dormitory 502, a group of people were indignant. They were all complaining about Chen Hao's treachery.
"Lao San, we can't just sit here and wait for death. We have to think of a way to fight back. Chen Hao just wants to drag you down and take the scholarship for himself."
Tang Zheng furrowed his eyebrows. Even though he had vowed that he would win the scholarship, he still had not thought of a way to counter it.
Chen Hao used public opinion to bribe his classmates, making the majority of them stand on his side. However, Tang Zheng disdained to do so.
Moreover, he had very little contact with the other students and did not have many friendships. Indeed, no one would take the risk of offending Chen Hao to support him.
"The one who started the trouble should end it. Since Chen Hao has caught on to my absenteeism, then there is only one person who can solve this problem."
Professor Qi Shaowen!
"Yes, let's go find Professor Qi."
The others heard Tang Zheng's suggestion and agreed. They were all students and did not have much influence. However, Professor Qi was different. He was a leading figure in the field of archeology. One word from him could destroy Chen Hao's conspiracy.
Tang Zheng arrived at Professor Qi's office and knocked on the door.
Tang Zheng was about to enter when he noticed someone standing at the corner of the floor. The person was staring at him intently.
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed. This person was definitely not a staff member of the university. The person's aura was too cold, like a man of iron.
He was about to go up and investigate when he heard a haggard voice coming from the office.
"Come in!"
Just as he was hesitating, the person quickly disappeared.
Tang Zheng shook his head and pushed the door open. He was stunned. The office was piled with documents like a small mountain. Qi Shaowen looked particularly small compared to the pile of documents.
"Professor Qi!"
Qi Shaowen turned around slowly.
"Ah!"
Tang Zheng could not help but cry out in alarm. The two of them had not seen each other for only a few months, but Tang Zheng discovered that Professor Qi had aged a lot. His white hair had all turned silver, and the wrinkles on his face had deepened, especially the fatigue and haggardness between his eyebrows.
"Professor Qi, what happened to you? How did you become like this? "
Tang Zheng was indebted to Professor Qi. Therefore, Tang Zheng did not have any special feelings for the other teachers and leaders in the university. However, he respected and appreciated Professor Qi very much.
Seeing that it was Tang Zheng, Qi Shaowen squeezed out a smile and said happily, "It's you, Tang Zheng. Why are you here?"
When he first met Tang Zheng at the auction, especially when he saw his Life-prolonging Pill sold at a sky-high price, he realized that he and Tang Zheng walked different paths. After that, many things happened and he never had the chance to meet Tang Zheng again.
"I'm here to talk to you about something, Professor Qi. Why do you look so haggard?" Tang Zheng asked with concern.
Qi Shaowen squeezed out a smile and stroked his silver hair. "Of course I look haggard when I'm old."
"Professor Qi, if there's anything I can help with, I'll do my best." Tang Zheng did not pursue the matter. Instead, he expressed his stance firmly.
"It's nothing. You said you wanted to talk to me about something. What is it?" Qi Shaowen asked kindly.
Seeing how haggard he was, Tang Zheng could not bear to disturb him.
Qi Shaowen seemed to have guessed his thoughts. "Why are you being so formal with me? Just tell me what you want."
Tang Zheng did not beat around the bush. He went straight to the point. "Professor Qi, I'm in the middle of a scholarship selection. However, some people are using my absence as an excuse to stir up trouble. So, I'd like to ask for your help."
"You're absent? Didn't you ask for a leave of absence from the university? Moreover, as far as I know, you were the top scorer in last semester's final exam. It's perfectly justifiable for you to be awarded the scholarship. "Qi Shaowen was puzzled.
"Someone is targeting me."
"You want me to solve this problem for you?"
Tang Zheng nodded.
Qi Shaowen did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked conflicted. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll solve this problem for you."
Seeing his resolute and conflicted look, Tang Zheng was puzzled. This should be a trivial matter for Professor Qi. Why did he look like he had made up his mind?
There must be something fishy going on. However, Professor Qi was secretive and unwilling to talk about it. Tang Zheng was at his wit's end.
After bidding farewell to Professor Qi, Tang Zheng could not stop thinking about Professor Qi's haggard look. He could not bear to see him like this.
"No, Professor Qi has taken such good care of me. He must be in trouble now. I can't just sit by and do nothing. I have to figure out what's going on."
Tang Zheng suddenly remembered Professor Qi's best friend, Old Wei, the owner of the Imperial Treasure House. He must know what happened to Professor Qi.
He drove to the entrance of the Imperial Treasure House. There were still many precious antiques in the Imperial Treasure House and business was booming.
Old Wei was excited to see Tang Zheng. Back then, Tang Zheng had resolved the Millennium Blood Jade issue for him. He had always wanted to thank Tang Zheng but never had the chance.
Old Wei greeted him warmly. He smiled like a flower and said, "What a rare guest! I was wondering why I heard magpies chirping so early in the morning. It turns out that Young Master Tang is here. Your presence brings light to the Imperial Treasure House."
Seeing the owner of the Imperial Treasure House so enthusiastic, the other guests looked at Tang Zheng curiously, wondering who this Young Master Tang was.
"Old Wei, can I have a word with you?"
"Okay, let's go to the office." Old Wei was slightly surprised when he saw Tang Zheng's serious expression. He stopped smiling.
"Young Master Tang, what can I do for you?" In the office, Old Wei poured Tang Zheng a cup of tea and asked in a deep voice.
"Old Wei, I saw Professor Qi today and found that he was much more haggard. You are Professor Qi's close friend. I want to know if he encountered any difficulties?" Tang Zheng asked directly.
Old Wei's expression changed slightly when he heard this. "You don't know his situation?"
"What's the situation?" Tang Zheng was confused.
Old Wei looked at Tang Zheng with shining eyes. After confirming that he was not lying, he sighed and said, "It's a long story. Actually, this matter is related to you."
"Related to me?"
"Do you still remember the archeology in the Hundred Thousand Mountains last year?"
Tang Zheng nodded. Outsiders did not know the details of the archeology because the officials had issued a gag order to the people involved.
After that, Professor Qi talked about it with a lot of sighs. He even suspected that he was being monitored.
Monitored!
Tang Zheng shivered. He remembered the person outside Professor Qi's office. Could it be that Professor Qi was not being paranoid but was really being monitored?
That person was monitoring Professor Qi.
Tang Zheng was furious. The matter of the Hundred Thousand Mountains had already passed, but the officials still sent people to monitor Professor Qi. This was too much.
"Although I don't know what exactly happened in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Old Qi mentioned a few things when he was drunk. His unfair treatment was the aftermath of that incident, and he mentioned a name called Lu Ming. I heard that this person has a lot of background, and he caused a lot of trouble." Old Wei said.
"Lu Ming, are you saying that Professor Qi was tricked by Lu Ming?" Of course, Tang Zheng would not forget this clown.
Lu Ming was the leader of the archaeological team, and because of various things, he had an intense conflict with Tang Zheng. In the end, because he led the military to encircle and annihilate the Witch Clan, both of his arms were crippled by Tang Zheng. However, in the end, he saved his dog life, but who would have thought that he would come out to stir up trouble again.
"Hmph, I should have broken his neck instead of his arms." Tang Zheng gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Old Wei nodded, "Yes, Professor Qi's scientific research projects have all been canceled. He has no funds, and he only has a few nominal titles in the Archeology Association. Now, people in the archeology world are keeping a respectful distance from him, afraid that they will be implicated if they get involved with him."
Tang Zheng was shocked. Professor Qi was a titan in the archeology world. In the past, many people wanted to know him, but now he had become a jinx. It could be said that he had fallen from heaven to hell. No wonder he was so haggard.
