Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 165: Evidence

Chapter 165: Evidence
Thinking about how he had promised that once this busy period was over, he would go on a date with Dr. Ding, Rong Xingyu could only apologize to Ding Yixin in his heart.
Fortunately, he had already gone through everything once before, so starting over again was relatively familiar.
After soaking himself in the laboratory for another full week, Rong Xingyu finally completed both the experimental data and the final assignment.
When Ye Shiyuan and the others asked about it, Rong Xingyu did not mention that there had been problems with his earlier data.
Instead, he only said that he wanted to supplement it in a more detailed and thorough manner.
"What does ’pursuing perfection’ mean? Learn from top student Xingyu—salute!"
Ye Shiyuan raised his hand and gave Rong Xingyu a mock salute.
Rong Xingyu said, "I already told you to surf the internet less. What kind of weird stuff are you even learning?"
Ye Shiyuan let out a strange chuckle.
After Ye Shiyuan left, Rong Xingyu finally lowered his head and looked at the tablet in his hands.
The smile that had been in Rong Xingyu’s eyes earlier disappeared, replaced by a layer of icy coldness.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers tapping lightly and unhurriedly against the tablet.
Rong Xingyu was usually so gentle that it seemed as if he hardly had a temper at all, but this current demeanor made it very easy for people to think of another person.
He looked at the data on the tablet—, ne set was the data he had reorganized himself, and the other was the previous version.
After comparing them, Rong Xingyu finally confirmed that the earlier set of data had indeed been tampered with!
It seemed that this time, his intuition had won.
If Rong Xingyu had not noticed anything wrong and had instead used the altered data, the final results he produced would have had significant deviations.
That would have meant not only that all of Rong Xingyu’s hard work over these past days would have gone to waste, but also that his final grade for this course would have been affected.
The look in Rong Xingyu’s eyes grew deeper.
He had not expected to encounter such underhanded tactics even in the most prestigious academic institution.
Scientific research should have been selfless and upright, yet it had now been tainted by people of questionable character.
Rong Xingyu felt a deep sense of disdain in his heart.
After finally compiling and submitting all of the classmates’ assignments, Rong Xingyu went to the security office and requested to retrieve the surveillance footage from the laboratory on that day.
"Holy crap!" Ye Shiyuan had still been wondering why Rong Xingyu had suddenly come to the security office.
After learning the reason, Ye Shiyuan was completely stunned.
Ye Shiyuan was practically overflowing with righteous indignation, as if he were the one whose data had been tampered with.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "Who on earth is such a piece of trash? We have to find this despicable person. At that time, I’ll make them understand why people call me Gorilla Ye!"
Rong Xingyu: "..."
Seeing Ye Shiyuan so furious, Rong Xingyu felt a wave of warmth rise in his heart.
Regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with Pan Yinhu, at the very least, he had made a sincere friend like Ye Shiyuan.
Rong Xingyu could not help but smile. He raised his hand and patted Ye Shiyuan on the shoulder, comforting him. "It’s okay. We’ll definitely be able to find evidence."
It was lunchtime and outside the monitoring room there was only a single security guard sitting there.
When he heard Rong Xingyu’s request to check the surveillance footage, the guard looked Rong Xingyu up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
Ye Shiyuan was just about to speak when Rong Xingyu stopped him.
Rong Xingyu took out his student ID and the approved application.
Only after repeatedly confirming everything did the security guard allow Rong Xingyu and Ye Shiyuan to enter.
"Sorry about this, student," the guard said apologetically to Rong Xingyu while pulling up the surveillance footage. "We mainly need to make sure you’re actually a student at our university."
Rong Xingyu shook his head and said, "It’s fine. That’s part of your job."
When the guard found the surveillance footage from the laboratory that day and enlarged it on the screen, Rong Xingyu and Ye Shiyuan could not help stepping forward at the same time.
The two of them held their breath in unison, staring intently at the images on the screen without blinking.
In the footage, Rong Xingyu was the first to stop. He methodically tidied up the desktop, then stood by the door, looking at his phone while waiting for Ye Shiyuan.
Although Ye Shiyuan looked a bit flustered, he quickly finished up his own work as well.
Ye Shiyuan walked over to Rong Xingyu and chatted with him for a few moments.
Rong Xingyu still remembered that they had been asking how much longer Pan Yinhu would need and that Pan Yinhu had told them to go to the cafeteria first and not wait for him.
The surveillance footage showed the same thing.
Ye Shiyuan could be seen slinging an arm around Rong Xingyu’s shoulder in a buddy-like manner as the two of them left together.
Meanwhile, Pan Yinhu remained in the laboratory with his head lowered as he continued recording something.
But about five or six minutes after Rong Xingyu and Ye Shiyuan left, Pan Yinhu’s movements suddenly stopped.
It looked like Pan Yinhu’s phone had rung.
He then answered the call.
It was impossible to hear what the person on the other end said, but after hanging up, Pan Yinhu could be seen looking helplessly at the unfinished task on the table.
Pan Yinhu let out a sigh and gave the desk a brief tidy.
Then he took off his white lab coat and quickly left the laboratory.
