Chapter 215: "Boss, Hu Pei is here to see you." (2)

Suddenly, an assistant of his came running over, Professor, not good. Dis, dis

Before the assistant could finish what he was saying, four or five other individuals entered Liu Dehings office behind him.

They were from Discipline Inspection.

We had received reports that you had stolen scientific research resources and misappropriated national scientific research and education funds without authorization. We need you to come with us for investigation.

Liu Dehings face turned pale abruptly when he heard that. He collapsed onto the chair behind him.

I did no such thing. There must have been a mistake. Liu Dehings lips were already trembling from fear, but he still refused to admit to it.

His look brought about the contempt from those from the Discipline Inspection. We are here because we have solid evidence supporting it. Stop wasting our time.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Liu Dehing was finally taken away.

The assistants remaining behind exchanged looks from behind Liu Dehing. They all saw a hint of fulfilment in each others eyes.

Liu Dehing had always been bullying his assistants and students because of his status. His assistants and students, being nobodies, dared not voice their disgruntlement.

Finally someone of higher status had taken actions against him.

All they could say was that it was all karma.

Having said that, Old Boss Hu peeked over at Gu Shao, who had seemingly mellowed out, before he carried on saying, It was an overlook on our part that we had failed to vet out the projects more cautiously than we did, and we weighted one experts opinion heavily. I want to apologize once again for our mistake and not being cautious enough.

Old Boss Hu wasnt just apologizing, he was also separating himself from Liu Dehing.

He had specifically avoided inviting Liu Dehing as a judge this time exactly because of conflict of interest. Little did he know that Liu Dehing would go as far as to smear another group simply because his grandson did not take first place.

Had he not run into someone with higher status than him, any other team wouldnt even have stood a chance against him.

Even more surprisingly, that wasnt even all there was to it. Even his grandsons topic was lifted off of someone elses.

All of the other scandals exposed online about Liu Dehing had further shocked him. He never would have thought that his classmate from back in college would have committed so many immoral acts behind the scenes.

It wasnt who was behind all these, but it didnt take anyone super intelligent to figure out that not a single soul besides Gu Shao would have been able to bring down an authority figure such as Liu Dehing so effortlessly.

As much as Old Boss Hu felt bad for his once classmate, but all these years in the workforce had taught him how to gauge the situation. That was the reason why he did not hesitate in making the public statement clarifying and apologizing as necessary as soon as all the scandals about Liu Dehing had been exposed.

He even made a special trip to pay Gu Shao a visit specifically hoping that he would not turn into collateral damage.

As for the other team, they had been disqualified for cheating and the contestants would be banned from joining this competition for the next 5 years. Old Boss Hu brought that up.

He did not need to specific which team he was talking about.

By now, Hu Pei only hoped that there would be no more drama surrounding the Youth Innovation Competition that would require them to regrade the subjects for the fifth time.

Having heard that, Gu Shao nodded and said nonchalantly, Its fine.

Old Boss Hus finally felt relieved after he heard that.
