The crowd, initially divided and curious, was now in a state of shock and disbelief.
They couldn't reconcile the image of a young girl solving complex mathematical problems with the scandalous narrative the principal had been presenting.
Many of the intelligent reporters understood that Principal Yan was trying to defame Chi Ai.
If they had known it earlier they would have turned a blind eye and some would have even supported him but now...
"Tsk...Tsk. Just what kind of principal he is? He is defaming such a genius child. If she had achieved such honor yesterday would we have led such genius astray just because of some rumors?" one of the latecomer reporters murmured, shaking their head in disbelief.
Soon many of the reporters started mocking Principal Yan.
Some mocked him because he lied, some mocked him because he was wrong, some mocked him for justice and some mocked him because they were angry.
