Chapter 1041
Father Zheng's question resonated powerfully .
No one expected that the magic treasure plagiarism case which had shaken the whole nation three years ago would actually be laid bare here — Father Zheng was holding an auditorium of university students hostage, and the event was being live streamed online, which drew even more attention .
The cultivation police station tried to block the news, but it was already too late — through the efforts of a single person, Daoist Guang, it had already spread all over the whole globe, becoming an event which the whole world was following closely .
As the number one live streamer, Daoist Guang had a huge number of Light Chasers behind him .
Of course, Daoist Guang had chosen to live stream this incident not only because Wang Ling had secretly talked to him about it, but also because Daoist Guang himself wanted more people to know the truth of this case and reflect on it .
Student Zheng Jingxuan hadn't been able to bear the strange looks and had died an unjust death under the public's condemnation; he had chosen suicide as a way to preserve his last dignity .
"If you've never experienced it yourself personally, please don't be so quick to judge others or a situation," Daoist Guang said to everyone watching in the live stream room .
What had really killed Student Zheng Jingxuan wasn't the "plagiarism case" itself, but the reflection of human nature that had followed .
It could be said that it was the online users — who hadn't pondered the incident nor carried out further investigation, who had just being carried away with the trend — who had pushed Student Zheng Jingxuan into the true abyss .
The entire auditorium was lost in silence after Father Zheng voiced the possibility that Liu Yi was a criminal . The latter had yet to appear, but Father Zheng knew very well that Liu Yi was here, lurking in the dark as he pondered his countermove .
All these years, Liu Yi had remained in the background and used work he had stolen to package himself as a talent in the eyes of the people . If he rashly came out now, his esteemed reputation and accomplishments would all disappear .
Father Zheng was waiting for Liu Yi to step forward and admit his mistakes of his own accord .
But it was clear that a person whose fame had gone to his head wouldn't show himself so easily .
"Student Liu Yi, I know you're already here . Even if you aren't willing to admit it, what I said was true . " Father Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and a composed expression on his face, without any sign of nervousness nor fluster .
Father Zheng smiled bitterly . "To be honest, Liu Yi, I don't blame you — I won't blame someone without any talent . When Jingxuan was still alive, I had always been against him going into the field of magic treasure design; the waters in this industry are too deep, and I was worried that he would fall in sooner or later . But Liu Yi, your appearance at least confirmed that Jingxuan was a genius, didn't it?"
Father Zheng looked up at the ceiling and heaved a sigh . "After this plagiarism incident, Jingxuan once talked to me about how the people around him treated him differently . Before the case, he was the center of attention at school, but after, he was treated with disdain and censure wherever he went . Even his closest friends started to keep their distance .
"To the students from his batch, who watched Jingxuan walk step by step into the abyss, who never once gave him a helping hand — looking at this case again, how do you feel now, I wonder? It was the violence he experienced at your hands, and the irresponsible opinions online, that thoroughly pushed Jingxuan into the abyss . "
Everyone was silent .
Principal Zhou Dongye's expression had become exceedingly unsightly .
