Stealing My Spot: I Chose State Secrets Chapter 11
"No… You can't do this to me, Karl," Dad cried, shaking his head desperately. "No matter what, there was nothing wrong with helping students in need!"I devoted my life to education. I sacrificed my own family so that children who couldn't afford an education would have the chance to go to school!"I snickered and pulled out a file from the folder, tossing it onto the table in front of him. "Frederick, enough with the self-righteous act," I said. "Take a look at this."With trembling hands, Dad opened the file. His eyes widened. It was Ian's actual family background investigation report. "Ian was never actually a student from a disadvantaged background. His aunt, Clara Sullivan, is a senior official in the state education department, and she's in charge of senior personnel appointments at Aldenbury University."You think I didn't know? You've been supporting Ian and showing him preferential treatment for years. You even went so far as to block your own son's graduate fellowsh

Ian and Megan stared at me as if they'd just seen a ghost. Dad's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. "Karl?"He instinctively slipped back into his usual authoritative tone, pointing at me as he shouted, "Have you lost your mind? You think you're allowed to sit there?"Do you even know what kind of meeting this is? You show up dressed like that and think you can come in here pretending to be some big shot?"Get down here right now! Stop embarrassing yourself."I looked at him calmly, not even bothering to raise an eyebrow. Before I could say a word, the two guards standing behind me stepped forward, their expressions turning cold."How dare you?"They grabbed Dad by the shoulders from either side and forced him back into his chair.Zachary looked terrified. "Frederick, have you lost your mind?" he hissed, pointing angrily at Dad. "This is Special Agent Karl Ludwig, sent here by the NSA! He's a senior official from Area 091."You're already in serious trouble for stealing

The scandal at NYSA's final defense spread throughout the entire academic community within hours. Aldenbury University's governing board was furious, and Dad's title as one of Aldenbury's Outstanding Educators of the Year was revoked that very night. Inside the dean's office, Dad's hair was disheveled, and the composure and arrogance he once carried were nowhere to be seen. He was pacing back and forth restlessly. "Prof. Ludwig, the authorities have already formed an investigative team. They're coming to Aldenbury University tomorrow," his assistant said, standing nervously by the door as he delivered the news. "There's nothing to worry about," Dad spat through clenched teeth as he spun around, his eyes bloodshot. "This was all a setup by that ungrateful son of mine!"As long as we find him and prove that he willingly gave Ian the data, I can prove my innocence."Even now, Dad still refused to admit that he'd done anything wrong. He pulled out his phone and called someone h

Three days later, the final defense for the National Young Scientist Award was held at the Aldenbury International Convention Center. The auditorium was packed. The audience included leading scholars from universities across Galdovia, along with senior officials from the state education department. Dad sat in the front row, maintaining his usual composed demeanor as he smiled and accepted compliments from those around him.Onstage, Ian stood before the giant presentation screen, confidently walking the audience through his research with a presentation clicker in hand."In conclusion, this data model not only addresses existing energy-consumption problems, but also provides a new theoretical foundation for future cutting-edge research. That concludes my defense. Thank you, members of the panel."He gave a slight bow, and the room erupted in applause. However, the lead expert from Jovendel, who was sitting at the center of the panel, didn't clap. He adjusted his glasses and star

"Useless! Both of you are absolutely useless!"Dad's furious voice boomed through the dean's office. Ian was practically in tears, while Megan stood there with her head lowered, not daring to say a word. "You've been working on this for three whole nights, and you still can't solve a problem this simple? What the hell have you two been doing?"Dad was shaking with rage. The position of vice president was practically within his reach, and he couldn't afford to let anything go wrong now."Prof. Ludwig, this isn't a simple problem," Megan finally gritted out. "Karl… He held something back when he left. "The data he gave us is missing the most critical part of the algorithm. If we can't find him and recover the missing code before the defense the day after tomorrow, we'll be humiliated in front of the entire panel."Dad froze for a moment, then anger flared in his eyes. "I knew that bastard wouldn't be that generous!" he seethed. "He deliberately left us with this mess just so

For the next two weeks, Aldenbury University seemed to settle back into its usual routine after the controversy. Meanwhile, Ian had taken the data I'd left behind and, with Megan's help, pieced together a research paper. The moment the paper was published within the department, it caused an uproar. The sophistication of its data model and the depth of its theoretical analysis were far beyond what anyone would expect from an undergraduate. Almost overnight, Ian was put on a pedestal and hailed throughout the department as a young genius. Megan posted a photo of Ian from behind, standing in the lab. Her caption read, "True talent always finds a way to shine. Without the pressure and intimidation from those who abused their power, you've finally had the chance to show the world what you're capable of."The comments were filled with praise for Ian and people taking shots at me. "So, Karl's SCI papers were only good because he was riding on Ian's work?""Exactly. Karl leaves,
