After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Lu Sheng’s First Voluntary Revelation of Identity

After hearing Lan Yu’s words, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but steady her thoughts.

Lan Yu is a very smart person; although she usually seems careless, she is actually very attentive to details in critical moments.

She is not familiar with Professor Peng, so naturally, she stood in her own shoes, worrying about her getting hurt because of this.

It must be said, Lan Yu mentioned three points that Lu Sheng agrees with, and she is very clear about the pros and cons.

Would anyone really do something that will only bring harm and no benefit to themselves?

Aren’t people who do such things foolish?

But after mulling it over for a while, Lu Sheng said to Lan Yu:

"Lan Yu, thank you for considering so much for me. But still, I have to step forward."

Lan Yu on the phone: "Shengsheng..."

Lu Sheng said firmly, "I have known Professor Peng for several years, he is dedicated to scientific research and not skilled in socializing. So he doesn’t have many friends, and his popularity isn’t great."

"On top of not having a wife or children, one could say that at this moment, hardly anyone cares about his safety; the school probably won’t have anyone willing to stand up and speak for him at such a critical time either."

"The main subject of those sneaked photos is me, and the girl who was reportedly suspected of being seduced, a minor, is me too; these are clearly baseless allegations, and I need to step forward to clarify."

"The more silent the parties involved are, the more netizens will feel that it’s not a suspicion but the truth." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"If I worry about getting involved in public opinion by standing out to explain for Professor Peng and choose to stand by and watch—even if Professor Peng is taken into the police station and is pointed at by a thousand fingers online, and I don’t say anything—"

"Then I think, I would just be a person who is selfish and self-serving. I wouldn’t deserve to be friends with people like you and Han Jing, nor deserve to be the lover of Li Muchen and a sister to these brothers of mine."

After saying all this, Lan Yu on the other end of the phone was silent.

So Lu Sheng continued.

"You’re right, now that such an anonymous post has come out, can I be sure that it’s someone slandering Professor Peng, that he really hasn’t done such a thing?"

"I can’t be sure."

"So I’m just stepping forward to clarify the parts that involve me, and leave the alleged attempted rape of a student to the police investigation."

"If Professor Peng really did such a thing, then the law will naturally subject him to the punishment he deserves. If he didn’t do it, he shouldn’t be insulted by the netizens like that either."

"Only the law can convict a person, not the netizens, nor public opinion."

Lu Sheng’s tone was determined.

After Lan Yu heard her out, she let out a sigh of relief: "I knew you would do this."

Lu Sheng paused involuntarily: "...Huh?"

Lan Yu said: "Shengsheng, I actually feel the same as you; I don’t really believe Professor Peng would do such a thing."

"And I trust your judgment of people. If Professor Peng were that kind of person, you wouldn’t regard him as a respectable elder."

Hearing this, a warm current flowed through Lu Sheng’s heart: "...Thank you, Lan Yu."

"No need to thank me," Lan Yu’s tone turned cheerful over the phone, "I predicted that you would want to step out and clarify for Professor Peng, so I came to see you."
