But Sheng Yang maneuvered the stairs very smoothly.
She was very smart, which he knew very well, so he could never play old tricks like “rescuing the damsel in distress” or “showing tenderness toward women” with her, which often left him feeling helpless.
After walking down the stairs, they finally arrived at the secret room below. Sure enough, it was an altogether different world here.
The Sheng family also had a chemistry laboratory, but it couldn’t compare to this one at all. This was professional grade.
Once Sheng Yang arrived, she felt very excited; this seemed like heaven to her.
Narrowing his eyes, Yi Juncheng was very pleased to see her smiling face.
Although he lost to the spice formula, chemical reagents, and now a mere chemical laboratory, he wasn’t in a bad mood.

The next day, another post caused a sensation on campus.
It was posted by a new anonymous person, B, stating that Tian Kerui wasn’t Sylvia and that the real Sylvia was someone else. It also issued a lot of hard evidence.
The anonymous person A who claimed that Tian Kerui was Sylvia countered: “You’re talking nonsense. Tian Kerui told me that she’s Sylvia herself.”
A and B quarreled in the post and in the end, A had to admit in the face of the hard facts that he was wrong then said, “It turns out that Tian Kerui was using me. I didn’t know until now that she isn’t Sylvia. She lied to me.”
Posts from many students followed.
“So Tian Kerui isn’t Sylvia?! I told you their handwriting looked different. ”
“It’s not her fault that she doesn’t have a rich family, but she really shouldn’t lie to get money and reputation. I always wondered how she could afford the tuition fee with her scholarship, and now I know the reason. Tsk, what a scheming girl.”
“Haha, her image as an ‘innocent goddess’ has collapsed.”
This news went viral, spreading throughout Grade Three then the entire campus.
Hearing that Tian Kerui as Sylvia was debunked, confirming her speculations, Fang Duo didn’t have a triumphant smile on her face. On the contrary, she felt worried. “Yangyang, this post is wrong. I remember you told me that Tian Kerui asked Ou Ye to help her uncover the person who created the post. This guy is obviously trying to set Tian Kerui up.”
Sheng Yang pursed her lips and mused to herself.
Fang Duo cupped her cheek and lamented, “If Tian Kerui is really innocent in this case, even if the real Sylvia showed herself, it wouldn’t help because she wouldn’t believe Tian Kerui. Alas, I don’t know who did this. The person responsible is really vicious. But it’s only when the real Sylvia stands up that she can clarify things for Tian Kerui. Let me talk to Sylvia.”
Fang Duo was very warm-hearted, so she turned around and went to find the person she believed to be the “real Sylvia”—Ms. Cui.
Internet and campus violence triggered the students easily.
“She’s simply shameless in that she would do anything to be famous…”
“Hehe, the media wanted to interview her before, but she acted pretentiously and refused.”
The bitter and jealous students who had thought Tian Kerui was the famous Sylvia blew up all of a sudden, and many people gloated.
Everyone pointed at Tian Kerui everywhere she went today, but she didn’t shed any tears at all. She had always been strong.
But this matter was still fermenting. The girls were gushing contempt for her, and the boys who were still friendly to her before despite being rejected by her all stayed far away from her now.
They were convinced that she was a scheming liar with an innocent face.
Only a few friends still supported her, believing that she wasn’t that kind of person, but the others had isolated her.
Her popularity and good reputation were gone.
No one could withstand this blow, but she managed to compose herself and just silently did her test papers at break time.
Teachers’ office.
“Ms. Cui, don’t feel afraid of having your identity exposed. Can you explain…”
“Fang Duo, I told you that I’m not Sylvia.” Ms. Cui pushed her glasses up. “Let me put it this way—I can talk to Tian Kerui and comfort her, but I can’t stand up to explain for her because I’m not Sylvia.”
In fact, Ms. Cui had been paying attention to this too. In fact, she had read that post.
As a teacher, she wasn’t supposed to get involved in student conflicts, but she still issued many posts in support of Tian Kerui because she didn’t think Tian was that kind of person.
But too many people blamed Tian Kerui, and her posts were quickly drowned out in the frenzy of public opinion.
At this time, another post appeared like a bomb.
Ms. Cui’s eyes suddenly widened and she tugged at Fang Duo’s arm hurriedly. “Look! Look!”
Fang Duo looked at the computer screen, only to see the ID of the person who issued the post.
——Sylvia.
She gaped in shock and hurriedly began to read the post.
In the post, the person provided substantial evidence and confirmed that anonymous people A and B, as well as a few exceptionally active IDs, shared the same IP.
