    The video immediately went viral, shooting straight to the top of the trending lists.As this incident had blown up, and it concerned the reputation of Orion University and the entire academic community, netizens followed every development closely. Within just minutes of the video being posted, the number of comments and reposts skyrocketed.Meanwhile, Owen was still livestreaming. He'd even gotten quite familiar with using hard-sell tactics to coerce the viewers.Suddenly, tens of thousands of people flooded into the stream, all of them cursing him in the comments.Seeing this, Owen realized something was wrong. He immediately checked his phone.Instantly, his face turned ashen, and his knuckles went white from gripping his phone. He couldn't continue streaming any longer. In front of several hundred thousand viewers, he sheepishly ended the broadcast."What do we do? Damn it! Who knew there'd be an influencer around?"Bertha was panicking as well. Her voice had been crystal

    My heart clenched in panic."Okay. I'll do it."Owen immediately took out his phone and pointed the camera at me, while Bertha handed me a sheet of paper they'd prepared in advance and told me to read it aloud.As expected, once the video hit the internet, I was viciously torn apart.Gregory called me immediately, asking what on earth was going on. The university was already working on gathering evidence, so why would I release a video like this at such a critical moment?At that moment, I was taking Leah to the hospital, feeling helpless."They threatened me with my daughter," I explained.She was still unconscious. I didn't know how much sedative they'd forced her to inhale.Gregory remained silent for a long time. After offering a few words of comfort, he hung up.If seeking revenge meant putting Leah's life at risk, I didn't know whether I should continue pursuing it.While I was in the hospital, the patient in the next bed recognized me. I didn't notice him taking photos

    Unexpectedly, after Logan posted his video, Owen uploaded one of his own, though it was much shorter."I'm just an advisor, while Robert Callahan is the professor. Who has more influence over whether someone gets into a PhD program? I'm sure everyone already knows the answer."Netizens couldn't help but feel like they were being toyed with."I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the tea. Is this what academia is like? What a mess. Even a top university like Orion can't focus on proper research anymore. Now it's all about profits.""@OrionU Please investigate this thoroughly. This isn't a small issue. Was it the professor or the advisor?"People began tagging the university's official account nonstop, and some even managed to find Gregory's number and started calling him directly.Soon after, I received a call from him."Robert, tell me the truth. What really happened?"I told him everything, including how Owen's own calculations contained errors, and how those errors would've ca

    My face darkened with rage as I watched Leah being surrounded and bombarded with aggressive questions, and I pushed the reporters aside."Leave my apartment right now, or I'm calling the police!"Even after I said that, they continued to press. Finally, several security guards arrived and drove them away."Stop disturbing the residents!"After the reporters were chased off, I was about to close the door when Bertha and Owen appeared.Bertha tilted her chin slightly. "You should know what's good for you. Because of you, Owen's lost his chance to be selected as an outstanding lecturer, and the university fired him, too."Only then did I learn that the university, aware of my capabilities, naturally believed me. They also investigated my claim that Owen had falsified data, which led to his termination.No wonder these two had gone live to ruin my reputation."Mommy, you helped bad people hurt Daddy! You're a bad person, too!" Leah yelled, pointing at Bertha, her face full of fury.

    Just as the scene descended into tense chaos, the police finally arrived."Everyone, step back. Secure the area."Everyone present was then taken back to the station, including the other five students. The explosion had terrified them into silence. No matter how the police questioned them about what exactly happened in the lab, none of them were willing to answer.What I hadn't expected was that while I was at the station giving my statement, the outrage online had only grown worse."I knew it. No way someone that young could become a professor without connections.""Here's my theory. The people backing Robert wanted him in the spotlight, so they piled all the credit and awards on him. He got cocky, believed he was a genius, and then screwed up the data.""Officers, why do we have to be here too?" Bertha complained loudly. "The surveillance footage already proves that it was Robert's fault!"She stood right next to Owen, glaring at me. To an outsider, it would've appeared as i

    The security guard's sharp gaze immediately fell on me.I spoke calmly, my eyes steady and resolute."The specific details can wait for the police investigation."While we waited, a swarm of reporters rushed in. Someone had posted about the explosion online, drawing the fastest reporters to the scene.The moment they saw us standing there, they immediately began snapping photos of us and the scattered body parts on the ground. If the guards hadn't held them back, they might have rushed closer for shots and even gone into the lab itself."Robert, your data was wrong. I tried to stop you, but you wouldn't listen, insisting on doing it your own way. And now someone's dead!" Owen shouted when he saw the reporters."Exactly!" Bertha quickly jumped in. "Are you trying to pin this on Owen just because you're a professor and he's only a lecturer?"Sure enough, the reporters immediately shoved their microphones in my face as soon as they heard this."You're that Robert Callahan, the you
