Chapter 510: Chapter 310 No Right to Speak Without Investigation (Second Update Requesting Subscription)_1

"Everyone, please stop spreading rumors, thank you."

"Secretary Wen said the situation is not as you’ve heard!"

"@everyone, remember to check the school’s official website for the announcement, or the push notification from the school’s public Whatsapp account."

"You guys love gossip so much, and even spread it blindly."

In the student chat group of Mist City Arts and Science University, with over a thousand members, Wen Ruohan mentioned everyone to explain the situation.

But some people were still spreading hearsay and conjecture with phrases like "I heard," "Supposedly," "It seems."

At that very moment, the official website and public account of the Mist City Arts and Science University released an announcement from Principal Ding.

It was also re-posted in various student chat groups. The instructor in each department and major released Principal Ding’s announcement, mentioning everyone as well.

[Mist City Arts and Science University]

"Hello, I am your Principal Ding Yue. Regarding the incident of our student’s father, it is true. However, I hope everyone will remain sensible, think calmly, and not spread rumors. The school is currently investigating the incident and has provided legal assistance to the student involved, NTS news reporters are soon going to investigate this incident. Once everything is clarified, the school will release the announcement timely. As the saying goes, ’no investigation, no right to speak.’ I hope our students will not defame and discredit, to avoid causing harm to the student. To me, you are all the best students, let’s wait for the situation in the student’s family to be resolved."

Ding Yue’s words were edited on the spot, mainly to tell the students of Mist City Arts and Science University to stay rational and not jump to conclusions.

After all, even the school needed to wait for the NTS news reporter team to investigate the student Liu Ping’s hometown before they could know why Liu Ping’s father hasn’t been released yet.

The students were spreading all kinds of wild rumors, these were undoubtedly a form of invisible harm to student Liu Ping.

Ding Yue initially did not plan to make this matter public, at least not until Liu Ping’s father was free and received compensation. Then with Liu Ping’s consent, he would make it public.

But somehow, the news leaked.

Since it had come to this, Ding Yue could only do his best to make the students of Mist City Arts and Science University stay rational and stop spreading rumors.

Fortunately, the students of Mist City Arts and Science University quickly received Principal Ding’s message and positively responded to his call.

"Got it, wait for the results of the incident."

"I think Principal Ding is right. Our indiscrimate talk about the issue is a kind of harm to the student."

"Remain rational +1!"

"Indeed, ’no investigation, no right to speak,’ everyone, stop speculating, isn’t waiting for the result a good thing?"

"Listen to Principal Ding!"

"You’ve even alarmed Principal Ding."

"NTS news reporters are going to interview?"

"Haha, everyone wants to get the scoop, but let’s cool down since it involves one of our own."

"Exactly, have you ever thought about it? All of you are blindly spreading rumors, and once it goes online, who knows what version it would become."

Ding Yue was not sure if his words had any effect for the time being.

Whether it worked or not would be determined by the amount of discussion about the incident when he woke up the next morning.

If the students of Mist City Arts and Science University discussed it less, and there were not many related topics online, it would mean that the students were quite good.

Ding Yue also believed that the students of Mist City Arts and Science University would not disregard the reputation of the school and the personal feelings of student Liu Ping.

At around eleven o’clock in the evening, Ding Yue, accompanied by his secretary Wen Ruohan, arrived at the gate of the school.

About three minutes later, a car drove slowly up the street.

It was the news team of Lu Jianan from NTS News Channel.

The car stopped at the school gate, and several people got out. The car was a news van, which appeared to have lots of space and equipment inside, possibly even satellite broadcast equipment. It resembled the ones on TV, which can conduct real-time live broadcasts and rebroadcasts.

"Hello, you must be Principal Ding?"

After getting out of the car, Lu Jianan walked towards Ding Yue.

Although Lu Jianan had not met Ding Yue, Director Liu Mei had told him that the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue, was a very young wealthy second-generation man.

After Lu Jianan arrived in Mist City by flight, he contacted Principal Ding at the earliest opportunity, and then contacted him again after arriving at University Town. That’s why Ding Yue was at the school gate to greet him and his team.

"I’m Ding Yue, and you must be reporter Lu?" Ding Yue smiled, nodded, and reached out to shake hands with Lu Jianan.

Lu Jianan immediately replied, "Yes, I am the Deputy Editor of the News Department in the NTS News Channel."

"So, you’re Editor Lu!" Ding Yue thought that Lu Jianan was just a reporter. He didn’t expect him to be an editor, albeit a deputy one.

"I’ve brought a news team here. Director Liu informed me about the general situation. We would like to first understand the situation here at Mist City Arts and Science University. Then we will set off for the county where the student is from to investigate deeply. How does that sound?"

Lu Jianan looked at Ding Yue and asked.

"Alright, that was what I planned to do as well. However, it’s already quite late tonight, and since you’ve all traveled long and hard to get here, why don’t you rest for the night? We can discuss Liu Ping’s father’s situation tomorrow morning?"

Ding Yue suggested that they take a rest after their arrival.

After all, Lu Jianan and the others had set off from the NTS Building at around six in the afternoon, traveled to Yancheng Airport, flew from Yancheng Airport to Mist City Airport, and then traveled from the airport to Mist City Arts and Science University.

It was almost midnight following over five hours of weary traveling. Rest was a priority.

"Hmm, alright!"

Lu Jianan wasn’t made of iron either. It was a great accomplishment to have made it to Mist City Arts and Science University smoothly within a day.

As for the interview at the university, it wouldn’t be late to start in the morning. Therefore, Lu Jianan agreed to Principal Ding’s suggestion.

"We’ve arranged the guest apartments for you. You can rest well tonight. Oh, and have you all had dinner yet?"

Ding Yue asked again.

"We had dinner on the plane, so don’t trouble yourself, Principal Ding," Lu Jianan said, a little embarrassed.

They were here on official duty, for which they’d received approval from higher authorities. Principal Ding had already arranged accommodation for them. If they leech a meal off him too, it would be too embarrassing.

"No problem at all. If you get hungry at night, you can contact our secretary. Our university has a 24-hour canteen and restaurants."

Ding Yue said to Lu Jianan with a smile.

Afterwards, Ding Yue led Lu Jianan and his team to the Elegant Garden Apartment building. The administrative staff of the Accommodation Management Department guided Lu Jianan and his reporters’ team to their prearranged apartments.

Mist City Arts and Science University had made arrangements in the Elegant Garden Apartment for guests since the hotel was not yet constructed and there was a demand for hosts sometimes.

After settling the journalist team in, Ding Yue went to sleep.

The next day, Ding Yue got up early in the morning.

Wen Ruohan woke up even earlier than Ding Yue and called Principal Ding early in the morning to ask if she should bring breakfast to the Elegant Garden Apartment for Lu Jianan’s journalist team.

Ding Yue checked with Lu Jianan’s team, who had also risen early, and they agreed to eat in the canteen.

So, Ding Yue led Lu Jianan and his colleagues to the second canteen. While they were walking and having breakfast, they could learn more about the situation of Liu Ping’s father.

"Principal Ding, your university canteen’s breakfast is delicious!"

At another table in the second canteen, Xiao Liu, a reporter from NTS News Channel, praised the school after biting into a fried bun.

"If you think it’s delicious, eat more. You’re not the first person to commend our school’s breakfast," Ding Yue quickly recalled Principal Xu Dongcheng who had just left Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Principal Ding, so you’re saying that Liu Ping’s father, who has been in jail for over a decade, hasn’t been released even after the real criminal in that old case was caught?"

After Ding Yue explained the general situation, Lu Jianan summarized.

"Exactly, this is what we don’t understand either," Ding Yue nodded, "Our university has an excellent legal team. They have returned to the county city with Liu Ping, but they have been hindered from learning detailed information about the situation."

"What about reaching out to the city or provincial authorities? Or the courts?"

Lu Jianan asked, frowning.

"It’s not that people didn’t try, but either the relevant departments are inefficient or there are other issues holding the process up. By rights, he should already have been released,"

Ding Yue shook his head regretfully, "Also, our university’s legal team is heading to the local city and court today for further inquiries."

"Well, in that case, let’s get moving as soon as we finish breakfast!"

Lu Jianan said firmly.

This news story was a first for him. He might have experienced it before, but never had a chance to report on it.

"Wen Ruohan, have you purchased airline tickets for Editor Lu and his team?" Ding Yue asked Ruohan.

Wen Ruohan, who had just taken a sip of porridge, burnt her mouth when she heard Principal Ding. "Ya ya ya, they have been purchased."

"Editor Lu, there’s another matter we’re hoping you could help us with during your visit..." Ding Yue suddenly said.
