Chapter 46 The Awakening of the NEET Generation – 4

The advisor found Ren Xin and asked her sternly, "Was it you who did what happened on the school website?"

Ren Xin shrugged. "Do you have any proof? If you do, do you want me to apologize?"

"What you did is against the law."

Ren Xin replied innocently, "Really? Well, that's a shame, but I wasn't the one who did it!"

In the end, the advisor really had no way to deal with Ren Xin, and irritably told her to leave.

Ren Xin strolled out at her own pace. When she reached the door, she turned back, gave the advisor an innocent smile, and asked in a light-hearted tone, "Advisor, do you think you've ever done anything you regret? Are you… afraid?"

With that, Ren Xin opened the door and walked away, paying no attention to the shocked, terrified expression on the advisor’s face behind her.

Since she couldn’t get the justice she wanted, then let everyone go to hell together.

Book Spirit Number One asked worriedly, "Aren’t you going to break character like this?"

Ren Xin replied carelessly, "I'm just a poor student—what could I possibly know~"

The other people in the dorm suspected that Ren Xin was behind all of this, but they also thought that since Ren Xin couldn't even afford a computer right now, she couldn’t have pulled any of this off!

But then, the only person who had argued with them was Ren Xin, so they weren't sure what to believe.

Every day on the school website, new threads would pop up. The person revealing the scandals called themselves Mr. X. Today, it was the advisor—who always thought of herself as upright and impartial—who was exposed.

【Isn’t that advisor from the math department? I can’t believe she actually took credit for someone else’s research. That’s just disgusting.】

【How does someone like that even become an advisor? I heard that earlier she was called out in the girls’ dormitory for taking sides, and that’s why this whole thing started. Do you think that girl is trying to get revenge on society now? And the people in her dorm were all investigated too.】

【I’ve heard about this too, but I also heard that the girl’s family isn’t well-off—she couldn’t even afford a computer, and has to work several part-time jobs every day. There’s no way she’d have the time or energy to do all this. It must be Mr. X—a true crusader for justice—who’s stepped in to clean up the campus.】

The advisor stared at her darkest secrets, which she had tried so hard to hide, being laid bare under the blazing sun for everyone to see. Her face turned as pale as a ghost.

She instinctively felt that Ren Xin was behind it, but had no proof. All the available evidence pointed away from Ren Xin—but then, what Ren Xin had said that day as she left was so ambiguous.

So who was this person? Who was Mr. X?

Ren Xin went about her life as usual. As she walked around campus, many people stared at her, but she didn’t care. Say what you want—the things she’d said online were harsher than anything they could say to her in person~

With more and more people joining the discussion on the school site, things were getting a bit out of control. Everyone started voicing the same demand: they wanted a fair apology to Ren Xin and true justice!

Ren Xin wasn’t the only student from a poor family. Others had also suffered unfair treatment to varying degrees. This event had become a spark—a catalyst.

Since you think you’re superior by birth, and that being poor is a sin, then clean yourselves up and face Mr. X’s judgment!

The school tried to find out who was behind it, but came up empty-handed. The computer expert they hired shook his head helplessly. "This person is incredibly crafty. All the IP addresses have been bounced through multiple relays—I can’t trace them. Tsk tsk… Looks like the real experts are among the people. Maybe some genius just couldn’t stand it anymore? So…"

The school administrator hurriedly asked, "So how can we make peace with him? If this keeps going, the whole school’s atmosphere will be ruined."

The expert shrugged. "I wouldn’t know. I can’t even find out who it is—how would I have any right to make demands of them?"

What should they do now!

As he spoke, the computer screen suddenly began to flicker uncontrollably. The expert responded quickly, fingers flying across the keyboard, but it was useless. On the display, a line of text appeared.

"Those favored by heaven shall carry out justice on its behalf!!"

— Translator's Notes —

– carry out justice on its behalf: This is a translation of the idiom '替天行道' (tì tiān xíng dào), famously the slogan of the 108 outlaws in the classic novel 'Water Margin.' It refers to taking the law into one's own hands to enforce divine or moral justice against corrupt authorities.
