Chapter 6 — I Return From The Deep

“Nien So, Tong Uyen Nghi said you went to the laboratory, what did you do there?”

"Where are you? Send me the address."

"Your health is not good right now, don't run around anymore, if there's anything I can help you solve."

“Nien So?”

“Where are you?”

I stared at the screen. Huh. What did I say? Tong Uyen Nghi only needs to make one call and he will come to you. Don't care what I did. It's about questioning what I was doing. Four years on, nothing has changed. In his eyes, Tong Uyen Nghi will always be his gentle, honest, and pitiful adopted sister. And I will forever be the younger sister who doesn't understand things and always causes trouble. I turned my phone to silent mode and threw it under the pillow. Continue taking photos. After taking all the documents, they passed them to On Nhuoc Duong. Then send a message:

"Professor On, a page in the notebook was torn, but the table of contents is still there. Can this be used?"

She responded very quickly:

"It can be used. The table of contents is Trieu Dung's autograph, which can be used as indirect evidence. Plus the original data on the USB, it is enough to create a review file."

“Tomorrow I will contact the academic council.”

“But Niem So, there is one thing I have to remind you—the academic review process is very slow, at the fastest it takes 3 to 6 months.”

Three to six months. And I only have six months left. Is it time? I do not know. But I have no other choice. Can only bet. Bet on me and this process, which side can hold out longer?

【Chapter 3】 The third day after Wen Ruo Tang submitted his application for review. I received a call. Linhai University Academic Ethics Council. Ask me to come next Monday to make a record of testimony. As an insider of that year's events and the person who submitted new evidence, I had to be personally present to present it. Hanging up, I breathed a sigh of relief. The process has been started. But at the same time, another thing also happened. Tong Uyen Nghi has taken action. Faster, more ruthless than I expected. That evening, a news notification popped up on my phone. The title read clearly: *"Woman just released from prison broke into university laboratory to steal confidential documents, professor involved calls for strict punishment"* I clicked to see. The illustration is a photo cut from a laboratory camera. In the blurry frame, is my back. The content reads: *"According to the reflection of Associate Professor Tong Uyen Nghi of Lam Hai University, recently a person who had just completed his prison term arbitrarily sneaked into the research group's laboratory, suspected of stealing important scientific documents. It is known that this woman is Giang Tong Uyen Nghi. She threw a preemptive strike. She wanted to label "I went to get Ms. Trieu's things back" as "A criminal with a criminal record continues to commit crimes." Once this story is believed by public opinion, all the evidence I submit in the future will be labeled "both robbery and shouting". No one will believe the accusations of a "systematic criminal". Cao Minh. Really high-class. I sat on the hard bed in the motel, staring at the ceiling for a long time. Then make a call phone. Luc Tham. Two rings to pick up the phone.

“I saw the news.” His voice was even, as expected.

“Do you have any solution?”

"Don't rush. That news was posted on small local accounts, the number of reads is not high, and it has not spread widely."

I tightened my grip on the phone: "In the next step she will definitely spread it."

“I know.” He paused for a moment, "Are the things in your hand backed up yet?"

“I took a photo and sent it to Professor On.”

“Where is the original?”

“At my place.”
