"I've already made a police report!" Yi Jing was not afraid at all. She answered in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "The person in the video is obviously not me. They just had my face superimposed on it. Someone is deliberately trying to slander and ruin my reputation!"
The counselor's expression changed again when he heard this, and his tone softened. "If that's the case, then follow me!"
Following the counselor, the two of them went straight to the Dean's office.
After entering the office, the counselor walked around the desk and came to the Dean's side. He mumbled something to him in a low voice before stepping back and stood still.
The Dean stared at Ji Ying and said in a deep voice, "Miss Ji Ying, you claimed that the video is fake. Is there any evidence to prove it? This video has already caused an extremely bad impact on the school's reputation. How can you make others believe you just by saying that it's fake?"
Ji Ying pursed her lips, feeling extremely unhappy. She was clearly the victim, but now she had to prove that she was not a bad person. This feeling of grievance and discomfort welled up in her heart. If she could, she would have sliced the sky into many pieces. However, her rationality told her that getting angry could not solve the problem, so she forced herself to calm down and explained, "As long as you look at it carefully, you'll be able to see the flaws! No matter how perfect the technique is, a fake will always be a fake!"
"I couldn't tell that it was fake, and there's no need for you to hide your actions. As a student, you've already affected the reputation of the university committing such acts. Yet, you still insist on lying your way through? It's no wonder because you're problematic in the first place!"
Ji Ying was stunned!
"I'm problematic? It might be possible for others to not be able to tell if the video was real or fake, because these people aren't professionals and don't have enough knowledge. But as the dean of a university, you can't even tell that the video is fake. How are you the dean?"
Ji Ying's words seemed to have hit the nail on the head, sending the Dean's aged face to burn red and hot. However, he was angry from embarrassment and replied in an equally furious tone, "I asked you to provide evidence, not mock me!"
"It's easy to get evidence. Just get any students from Computer Science Studies and they can get it done for you in an instant. More importantly, even without any technical means, it's easy to tell the authenticity of the video at a glance. Based on height, weight, and the color of my skin, why do you still need me to provide evidence? It's way too obvious, isn't it?"
The dean's face paled at Ji Ying's words, and his expression turned even less agreeable. "Miss Ji Ying, you're the one who tarnished the university's reputation. So what if the video was fake? There are so many people out there. Why didn't they defame anyone else but you?"
Ji Ying looked at the old dean and shook her head in disbelief. She could not believe that the dean was capable of saying such words. She sneered, "As the dean of a student who was slandered and wronged, you're not trying to help the student solve the problem. Instead, you're making the student to prove herself. You're even trying to cause me more harm by threatening to expel me. You've really shown me a different side of the university!"
The old dean was still stubborn and said coldly, "How dare you blame the university for your rotten private life? It didn't matter if the video was real or fake. What was important was the school's reputation! Ji Ying, drop out of school on your own! Retain your last bit of dignity!"
"You actually want me to drop out? On what basis?"
"Either that, or you'll just get expelled!"
Ji Ying was extremely furious, and yet, very helpless.
"If the university is going to expel me, then I'll take the opportunity to defend my rights and interests. Since the dean couldn't distinguish right from wrong, then let the law teach you that! One last thing. You do not deserve to be dean! Trash!"
"Shut up!"
The counselor was triggered by Ji Ying's words too. "Ji Ying, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and apologize to the dean!"
"Why should I? As a victim, I can't even say a few heartfelt words when I'm being wronged? The innocent will be innocent! If I had known that you were all like this, I wouldn't have made this trip!"
…
Ji Ying left the dean's office in a rage, but her heart was filled with sorrow.
Her roommates surrounded her and asked, "Lil Ying, how is it? What was the dean's response? Will he stand up for us?"
Ji Ying told everyone what happened in the office and everyone was stunned. No one would have thought that the dean would have such an attitude. He was simply inhuman!
"You guys go back first! This isn't over yet, I'll think of a way to solve it!"
Ji Ying's expression was cold. She knew that she could not let this matter go so easily. She still had to find the police. Otherwise, if she lost control, even if the police solved the case and cleared her name, she would still end up with a mess.
