The Tycoon Inheritance [SaMpLe]

25.

The question asked by Teacher Dai was a simple one but to Lin Shen - it was mind-crushing.

Usually, the seniors do things like that for the teachers after getting their permission. During the handover process, some evidence would be 'surprisingly' changed. Lin Shen depended on that but his amateur villain-like brain didn't trigger the 'backup plan thought process' after he gave the bribe to Teacher Dai.

 Like other teachers who accepted the little help from these Young Masters, Lin Shen placed his chips on that.

Two plots he trusted in were diminished.

From the question, he knew Teacher Dai didn't accept the bank card and read the note in that envelope.

"Yes, I know you will, sir," he answered stiffly. He gave a quick glance to the other two, hoping they would keep up the act. His heart was thumping loudly and taking over every sound in the room. 
What to do? How can he stall things? If he backtracks now, it will be another loss against Chen Kai. He wanted to see that poor wretch suffer. How can a low-class bastard like him be better than he - a young master of an affluent family? People like him need to know their position in life.
Lin Shen looked at Chen Kai. He sneered at the luxury clothes the bastard wore to look good, even if it was just a few minutes. Pathetic.

"Student Lin! Please pay attention. Do you wish to compare evidence as I question Student Chen?" Teacher Dai was already upset by the scheme these three tried to facilitate. This kind of thing was an embarrassment to their university. The country saw their graduates as honest, well-educated young people who could help the work industry flourish. Not scheming fraudsters. 

This sort of behavior can't go unpunished.

The teachers and the vice president gathered for this hearing decided to go along with their ploy to see how far they would go.

"... Yes. Yes, sir."

He was made to hand over the evidence he gathered and state the source of each one. A male teacher took them in his possession and read through each piece. 
Lin Shen returned to his seat and placed his focus on the teacher's next words.

Chen Kai didn't want to miss a milli-second of the expected outcome and kept his attention on the trio. Lin Shen was pretending to be calm, Zhang Rui was five minutes away from blowing her top and Li Feng already gave up the act. 

" Before we proceed, do you have anything to say at this point of the hearing?"

This time it was Vice President Ji who asked this question. His eyes were sharp as he placed his hawk-eye gaze on the trio. 

Li Feng kept his head low and Zhang Rui looked at Lin Shen to lead her at this part.

Chen Kai thought he would give up at this moment if he read the teachers' body language throughout the accusation, and after the comparison they made with the evidence, he would know it was all useless. 

This hearing was wasting everyone's time but this dimwit was so bent on his mission. 

"No, sir. I do not," Lin Shen answered.

'Idiot!' Chen Kai on the other hand rolled his eyes and muttered how stupid and clueless Lin Shen was. 'Is his family thinking of putting him in their family business?' he wondered. 'How tragic!'

Vice President Ji motioned for Teacher Dai to continue.

"Student Chen, I will state the days they suspect you stole their devices, planted the virus, and returned them. It will be wise to answer truthfully. Do you understand?" 

"Yes, sir." 

The days mentioned were the previous three to four days since he came to this star. Unhurriedly and in a concise version, Chen Kai took them through the places he visited within the campus, who he talked to, and what he did. 
He, too, wanted this to be over.  Lin Shen underestimated everything. Their ploy was weak.
When the female teacher questioned him on the harassment of Zhang Rui, he didn't hide anything and got rid of the plot holes in her previous statement.
