Chapter 1031: Fallen to Dust
On this side, Bao Gucheng views Gu Shiyin as less than a speck of dust on a strand of Zuzi’s hair.On the other side, Gu Shiyin is trembling all over, provoked by the blackmailing photos on the big screen, no longer able to maintain her elegant and composed persona.
She almost collapses as she clasps her hands, her fingernails dug into the flesh of her palms, the veins in her neck fully exposed due to her raised neck and screams: "This is all a conspiracy, it’s all fabricated, it’s not true! Don’t believe it!"
After screaming a few times, she quickly smoothes her hair and wipes her face, as if trying to restore her usual glamor and confident demeanor: "The award ceremony, the award ceremony is the top priority now, nothing should affect it... Principal, we must give Qian Man the award quickly..."
Standing on the podium, Wu Qianman crosses her arms: "Gu Shiyin, you’ve already been completely exposed, yet you still refuse to face reality, still trying to evade responsibility?"
The old principal shakes his head regretfully: "I am ashamed and pained that our Imperial University has produced such a disgrace, being blind to this until now..."
Gu Shiyin, desperate to distract the public, looks around urgently, preparing to reach for the Crown Medal in the velvet box, hoping to forcibly redirect everyone’s attention to the award ceremony.
But before she can act, a roar erupts from the audience:
"Oh my God, this person, what, what, what is he doing?"
"Is he crazy? How could he shamelessly appear here..."
"Ah, my eyes are going blind, oh my God!"
In the midst of the commotion, a man, shirtless with a burlap sack on his back, suddenly leaps from the backstage steps into the front row of the audience, swiftly weaving through the seats.
This shocking act immediately diverts considerable attention away from Gu Shiyin.
Seeing the man’s muscular build and familiar profile, amidst confusion a glimmer of hope and delight rises in Gu Shiyin’s heart: "Brother Hu..."
The man who suddenly drew everyone’s attention was Yin Hu!
Indeed, Yin Hu is her most loyal devotee.
No matter how downcast she is, Yin Hu still steps forward, diverting attention from the fools, granting her a moment of peace and respite.
She is so touched she almost sheds tears.
But before those tears could form, she hears Yin Hu lower his head and speak into the wireless mini-microphone hanging by his neck: "Could everyone make way, I have something important to do, sorry to disturb."
The brief and polite words quiet the crowd, yet they strike a heavy blow to Gu Shiyin’s heart!
This voice...
This hoarse voice, isn’t it the same as the one that just exposed all her aliases, the microphone man?
Because the wireless microphone had unstable electricity flow, the sound quality changed, she hadn’t realized it was Yin Hu’s voice.
Now that he’s right in front of her, the voice is unmistakable.
Yin Hu didn’t come to help her; he came to drag her from her pedestal, down into the dust!
"Brother Hu, why are you doing this to me, are you being forced..." Gu Shiyin completely breaks down, her last shred of hope screaming into the microphone.
Yet.
Yin Hu’s steps tear apart all her pleadings step by step.
Only to see Yin Hu push through the crowd, sprint away, finally stopping at the best vantage point in the middle of the audience.
In that row sits a charismatic man and a woman in white.
Yin Hu bows deeply to Bao Gucheng and Zuzi.
Then.
He opens up the burlap sack he has been carrying, spreading it out in front.
Seeing the contents of the sack clearly, the crowd once again bursts into an uproar.
