Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Slapping Fu Chen’s Face, Sending Him Offline! (2)
Huo Yu obviously did not want to explain too much.
Standing in the corner of the classroom, his fringe partially obscured his eyes and eyebrows. The corners of his eyes were slightly lifted, and his gaze was lonely and cold.
"Just now when Lu Sheng was demonstrating the other two solutions, I hacked into the internal system of the admissions office of Beijing University and Qing University."
"This system can be accessed by the staff of the admissions office, but only one person has editing rights, and that person is Liu Changfeng."
"Liu Changfeng is the director of the admissions office. I cracked his account password, and after logging in, you can see the interface on the big screen right now."
Huo Yu’s words sounded simple, but these few sentences directly made everyone present widen their eyes.
No... what is Huo Yu talking about?
Hacked into the system of the admissions office of Qing University and Beijing University? Found the person with editing rights? Cracked Director Liu’s account password? And cast the interface directly onto the big screen in their classroom?
This... Is this not something only those cool, badass hackers in movies, who wear sunglasses and don’t care about anyone, can do?
Huo Yu, usually an inconspicuous presence in the corner of the classroom who barely speaks, could he secretly have such hacking skills?!
While everyone else was merely shocked, Fu Chen nearly dropped his eyeballs on the spot.
Fu Chen had never paid attention to Huo Yu in the class before.
In his view, these academically excellent students from poor backgrounds did not deserve to breathe the same classroom air as someone from high society like him; even glancing at them was elevating them.
He could hack into the internal system of the admissions office just like that? And logged into Director Liu’s account?
Fu Chen’s first reaction was, is Huo Yu putting on an act?
Could someone with such skills have remained so unnoticed before??
If Lan Yu heard what was on Fu Chen’s mind, she would definitely roll her eyes and curse him fiercely.
Did he think everyone was like him, half full yet always acting mighty, desperately wanting to draw everyone’s attention to themselves?
Just when Fu Chen thought it was impossible for Huo Yu to actually do such a thing, and even more unlikely to find any evidence to prove Lu Sheng’s innocence, Huo Yu moved under everyone’s watchful eyes.
The people then saw that Huo Yu had something resembling a mini computer on his desk, complete with a very miniature mouse.
And as Huo Yu lowered his head, his slender, well-defined right hand moving on the mouse, the interface on the big screen changed accordingly.
It was real-time control plus screen casting.
The others didn’t know how this was done.
"On the left column, the last item is related to the special recruitment exam," Huo Yu moved the mouse there as he spoke.
"After you open it, there are the exam papers for all candidates from high schools nationwide sent to the admissions office for this special recruitment exam."
"Scrolling down here, these are the papers for all the students from Shengjing who took part in the exam, separated into Chinese, Mathematics, English, Arts or Science."
"Let’s look at the Mathematics one; this is my math paper—it shows as view-only, and the content is indeed what I wrote."
"But if you open Lu Sheng’s math paper," Huo Yu paused here, then clicked into Lu Sheng’s mathematics paper.
The status of the paper was also view-only, but as Huo Yu moved the mouse up, an edit option appeared above the paper.
And clicking this edit option allowed the cursor to appear on the paper for deleting and changing content.
Huo Yu then flipped to the last major question on the paper.
At that moment, the content shown in Lu Sheng’s paper was still that exactly matching the answer sheet.
Huo Yu then selected the answer, next second hit delete on all of it, and typed a few random lines, then went back up to select completed editing.
The paper reverted to the view-only status.
But now, the answer displayed was the few lines that Huo Yu had just randomly typed.
In just a few seconds, the answer was replaced!
Witnessing this action, everyone in the class couldn’t help but inhale sharply, and the classroom instantly became somewhat noisy.
At this moment, Huo Yu lifted his gaze, his cool eyes glancing towards the somewhat agitated Fu Chen, seeming to anticipate what he would say.
"Of course, just having this editing function doesn’t prove that Lu Sheng’s math paper answers were replaced."
"So, I did some more operations and found the edit history of the paper."
Huo Yu’s hands moved quickly, and the next second, the interface also followed on the big screen.
"Everyone can see, before today, there was an edit history for Lu Sheng’s math paper. And the date, it was the night before last."
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Zhou said the papers were already marked by the admissions office by that afternoon."
"The papers were all marked, yet Director Liu logged into the system and edited Lu Sheng’s paper. Other than replacing her answers, I can’t think of a second possibility."
Huo Yu’s actions and words were clear and orderly.
The edit history was displayed on the big screen, directly proving that Lu Sheng’s math paper had indeed been tampered with.
The papers were all marked[,] yet this Director Liu still edited Lu Sheng’s paper, claiming it was a coincidence he did nothing, who would believe that?
Originally, everyone thought Lu Sheng was just stubbornly defending herself when she said the paper wasn’t hers. Now with the evidence right in front of everyone, it was sufficient to prove she wasn’t lying.
Lu Sheng didn’t say much.
The evidence was laid out, and those who were ridiculed and mocking Lu Sheng in the classroom earlier were the ones slapped in the face. Now, these people had shifting gazes and lowered their heads, silent.
However, it didn’t end there.
Huo Yu paused, then continued speaking.
"However, even with the facts right before our eyes, everyone might still be puzzled, why a director of the joint admissions office of Beijing University and Qing University would do such a thing specifically to Lu Sheng."
"Regardless of his motive, his expected outcome is quite obvious, and that is for Lu Sheng to be burdened with the crime of cheating and be expelled from Shengjing and have no chance with Beijing University and Qing University."
"But, I also want to know why he did this."
Huo Yu’s tone was calm, but his actions were far from calm.
"So I hacked into another private computer that had logged into the system with this account and password, which is Director Liu’s personal computer."
"Then, in his computer’s recycle bin, I found a file that had been deleted a week ago."
"I restored this file, not mentioning the content, its filename should explain some things already."
"Everyone can take a look." 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
As his words fell, the classroom’s big screen displayed a computer desktop. Aside from the application icons, there was a Word document.
When they saw the filename of this document, many people in the class couldn’t help but exclaim out loud, several loud "holy shit" were particularly noticeable.
