[Oh my goodness, why do I feel like things are going in a completely unexpected direction?]

[Wait, does that mean that the female student who plagiarized will be cleared? No way! I don’t want to see that!]

The viewers in the broadcast were all shocked.

At the press conference, the journalist hurriedly asked Cheng Yi: “Dr. Cheng, what exactly do you mean by there is no plagiarism?”

Cheng Yi replied to the question in an unhurried tone: “Simply put, if this incident had happened to someone else, we would have been suspicious of that individual. However, Jian Yiling was someone who participated in the writing of the article. Therefore, in this case, there is no plagiarism at all.”

As soon as Cheng Yi said this, everyone at the hotel and everyone watching the broadcast was once again shocked.

Everyone at the press conference was utterly silent. However, messages and comments started to pop up on the broadcast:

[Wait, did I mishear? Did that man just say that Jian Yiling and Dr. F.S wrote the article together?]

[Nah you didn’t mishear. I heard the same thing as you.]

[How is that possible? She’s only a high school student!]

[Yeah! Dr. F.S. is one of the best surgeons in the country! Actually, a correction to that. He’s one of the best surgeons in the world!]

[Yeah! It’s not possible for the two of them to be associated right?!]

The messages and comments reflected the viewer’s feelings at the moment. It was disbelief, shock, and doubt!

Mo Shiyun also couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

This was not possible. There was no way that the people from the Huiling Medical Research Institution would listen to the Jian family’s arrangements. They wouldn’t help them lie about such a situation.

They had selected Dr. F.S. in the first place because he was one of the people in the academic circle who was not motivated by money and power!

Mo Shiyun knew that although this man had operated on Jian Yunnao, it was purely because Jian Yunnao’s operation would be challenging. Furthermore, the operation would help Dr. F.S’s reputation in the industry. He didn’t perform the operation because of the Jian family’s influence.

In fact, Mo Shiyun knew that the people from the Qin family in the capital were also trying to contact Dr. F.S. They wanted him to perform an operation for a very important person in their family. However, as of now, Dr. F.S hadn’t agreed to perform the operation.

Such a person was unlikely to be influenced by the power of the Jian family.

This way, they could be assured that after the plagiarism incident, Dr. F.S wouldn’t come out to ruin the things that they had planned.

But now, the situation had gone in a direction that they thought was impossible!

Mo Shiyun watched the broadcast in a daze. Her face was no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning of the broadcast.

At the press conference, Cheng Yi was still answering the journalists’ questions:

“At that time, Dr. F.S. wanted to include Jian Yiling’s name in his paper. However, Jian Yiling refused the offer. If she wanted to use the article for fame and reputation, she could have agreed to Dr. F.S’s offer back then. She didn’t need to plagiarize the article.”

The journalist asked in a hurry: “But does Jian Yiling have the ability to give insights and opinions for Dr. F.S’s papers?”

Cheng Yi’s tone did not change. He was still calm and serious as he responded: “I think that you need to find out more about Jian Yiling’s ability. You can take a look at the other articles submitted by Jian Yiling. They’re all very insightful.”

Then, Cheng Yi directed his words at the organization that made the accusation: “Here, I would like to ask the organization that came forward to accuse Jian Yiling of plagiarism, are you sure that the article you received is the one that was published by Dr. F.S.? Do you think that Jian Yiling is stupid? Please provide us with clear evidence of this. We would like to know where the problem came from.”

The messages in the broadcast stopped for a while. Everyone was shocked by the Institution’s words.
