Chapter 1626 - 1626 Intentional

1626 Intentional

“What’s this?” Wu Yue looked at the thing Huo Yao was holding. He took it and glanced at it a few times. “A thumb drive?”

Huo Yao remained relaxed and simply nodded. “Kind of. Once this gets connected to the projector, it will activate a Trojan horse that will destroy the file being projected.”

Wu Yue gnashed his teeth after hearing this. “Who could have done such a vile thing? How could they do this?”

The perpetrator was clearly trying to embarrass them in front of all these top colleges.

“That’s impossible. Why would we have this on the projector?” The teacher from Sirin University stood up as he spoke and tried to take the thumb drive from Wu Yue.

Wu Yue did not give it to him. He simply said, “Someone must have done it deliberately.”

He instinctively felt that Sirin University was probably not behind it. After all, the university had nothing to gain out of this and would attract trouble for themselves as well.

The teacher glanced at Wu Yue. He knew Wu Yue was on Sirin University’s side, so he said sternly, “The university will definitely investigate this!”

He went to a corner and called the university security department.

The Math department teacher kept looking at the thumb drive in Wu Yue’s hand. He hurriedly said, “I remember something. When I went to the bathroom, I ran into someone. I think he was holding this in his hands.”

When they walked into each other, the man’s thumb drive accidentally fell onto the ground. He even voluntarily picked it up for the man.

The Math department teacher had a deep impression of this incident.

“Are you sure? Can you still identify him?” asked Wu Yue in concern.

The teacher from Sirin University was making a call. When he heard their conversation, he said a few words over the phone and looked at the Math department teacher as well.

“Yes, I can. After coming out of the bathroom, I didn’t see the culprit anywhere.” The Math department teacher spoke solemnly. He had unexpectedly run into someone with bad intentions.

“I’ve asked my colleague to pull out the surveillance footage,” said the teacher from Sirin University.

Wu Yue could sense a headache coming on as he sighed.

Huo Yao glanced at Wu Yue. Since this had nothing to do with her anymore, she said, “Mr. Wu, in that case, I’m going out.”

Wu Yue nodded. “Okay. You may leave.”

Fortunately, Huo Yao was around. She had managed to recover the file just in time and save Tsing University’s reputation. Otherwise, they would become a laughingstock at the academic conference.

When Huo Yao was about to leave, the Math department teacher called her back. In the past, he felt Huo Yao was just here to tag along and get to write something nice in her resume. Now, his impression of her had changed.

The Math department teacher cleared his throat and said, “Can you take a look at our PowerPoint file as well?”

He was worried that the files were damaged as well.

“Since the Trojan horse was removed, things should be fine now,” replied Huo Yao courteously.

The Math department teacher heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

Huo Yao nodded and left.

When Huo Yao got back to the hall, Wen Ping and the others were almost done with their presentation.

They walked down the stage with cold sweat on their hands.

“Junior Sister, what happened backstage?” Wen Ping removed his glasses and wiped them with the corner of his shirt gently.

“Someone planted a virus to damage the files,” replied Huo Yao succinctly.

Li Chenhui nearly jumped from the seat. “Oh god! How could someone be capable of doing this to us? How horrible!”
