Chapter 799: Elder Leng Isn’t Someone These People Can Talk About in This Manner

As soon as the panel of judges left, Leng Xuan’s expression darkened. She glared at Leng Lin. “Spill it. What’s going on?”

Leng Lin’s heart was in his mouth as he opened his trembling hand to reveal a black magnetic card the size of a mung bean.

Being one of the top geniuses on Jijing Island, Leng Xuan had learned many things. She majored in medicine after entering the Jijing Special Institute with top results at the age of fifteen. She had seen her fair share of new high-tech products. The card in Leng Lin’s hand was the latest listening device produced by Jijing Island’s intelligence bureau.

The Academic Center’s manager, who was standing right behind Leng Xuan, squeezed his fingers tightly when he saw what Leng Lin had in his hand.

Leng Lin’s voice was strained as he spoke. “Someone placed this in the review room. We don’t know how long it’s been there.”

There had been many international events on Jijing Island lately, so there was no way they could check how long the room had been bugged.

Leng Xuan’s eyes glowed with anger as she stared at the listening device. “Useless bums! How could you fail at such a routine matter?!”

Leng Lin lowered his head. He was trembling slightly, but he dared not say a single word.

“Elder Leng, I’ll get someone to investigate the listening device. We should think of a way to explain to the school representatives first. We have to settle this matter as quickly as possible,” said Leng Yun.

Leng Xuan naturally knew that as well. She slowly calmed herself down. “Bring Capital University’s team over and get the MC to continue announcing the competition results.”

She figured that once their attention was shifted to themselves, they would be too preoccupied to care about this matter. This is Jijing Island. We can’t let them cause a scene here.

“Yes,” replied Leng Yun.

…

At the Academic Center Hall.

The crowd became even more suspicious of score manipulation when they noticed that the judges had disappeared.

“What the hell? If they really changed Gu Mang’s score, that’s too shameless of them!”

“Only the people from Jijing Island’s medical association have access to the scoring data.”

“But this is an international competition that they’re hosting! Everyone here knows full well how influential it is. If they really did manipulate the results, who would bother to compete?!”

“That reminds me of something. Wasn’t there a video trending all over the world a while ago? It showed Leng Xuan dangling off a building. I heard that she’s the leading expert on medicine on Jijing Island.”

“Oh, I saw that,” A student from Capital Medical University confirmed. “A mysterious person even hacked into Weibo and asked us to download the video.”

“Is she the Elder Leng mentioned in the recording?”

“If that’s her, is she using the competition to take revenge after embarrassing herself in the capital?”

None of the professors stopped their students from coming up with all kinds of theories. All of them looked rather upset. They had thought that the competitions held by Jijing Island were the best in the world, but as it turned out, it was anything but.

The MC looked on helplessly at the chaotic scene with her eyebrows furrowed. She couldn’t address the crowd and attempt to calm them because the mic had been cut and her voice couldn’t be heard by everyone in the audience.

Just then, a man emerged from backstage and walked straight to Capital University’s team. While making his way over, he could hear what others were talking about and could not help but frown. Elder Leng isn’t someone anyone can talk about in such a manner.

Meanwhile, Yang Tianming and Professor Xue were still in a daze. The same went for Shen Qianzi and Qiao You, who stood dumbly in place. Only Gu Mang was still sitting calmly in her seat.

Yang Tianming returned to his senses somewhat when he saw the approaching man. It was obvious that Gu Mang had made the recording, although he did not know how she managed to learn how her score had been manipulated.

Gu Mang joining the competition was purely due to Jijing Island’s unauthorized amendment to our team roster. It wasn’t easy getting her to join the competition, yet they dared to change her score on top of amending our roster. The nerve! To think we prepared so much for this stupid competition! At the thought of this, fire blazed within Yang Tianming.

The man swept a cold glance over at Gu Mang before turning his gaze to Yang Tianming and saying curtly, “Professor Yang, Elder Leng and the Academic Center’s manager would like to invite you and your team to a private meeting.”

Yang Tianming’s face darkened. His voice had never been colder as he said, “Shouldn’t you give us an explanation regarding Gu Mang’s score?”
