Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered Chapter 308 – Massive Smack in the Face

After Cheng Juan said his piece, he turned to leave the Violin Association.

Cheng Jin put the computer on the co-pilot seat casually, while Cheng Juan sat in the back seat. He put one hand on the door and casually played with the recorder with the other.

Suddenly, he thought of something. Taking out his phone, he sent a picture to Master Wei.

Cheng Jin started the car and gradually drove out to the main road. At the same time, the mobile phone he placed in his car rang. He turned on the Bluetooth headset and answered a call from Cheng Tu.

“Master Juan. Cheng Tu and the others are in trouble.” Cheng Jin glanced in the rearview mirror.

Pressing the recorder’s key, Master Wei’s conversation with Dai Ran sounded. Looking rather indifferent, Cheng Juan replied in a relaxed tone, “What is it?”

At the Violin Association, in Master Wei’s office.

Because Cheng Juan was present, he had held himself back from going onto Weibo despite burning with curiosity. However, his phone kept ringing, and it was almost lagging.

After Cheng Juan left, Master Wei quickly glanced at Uncle Hai. “Uncle Hai, close the door!”

Uncle Hai went to close the office door.

Sitting on the sofa in the office, Master Wei quickly opened his Weibo to take a look.

His Weibo was a little laggy, and he couldn’t get in on his first try. But on the second try, it got better and showed an overwhelming number of likes, comments, and tags.

Master Wei’s Weibo post was very simple and had nothing else other than a video.

The enthusiasm these days was sky-high. Netizens had switched from Qin Yu to Dai Ran, jumping on the bandwagon everywhere. Only Master Wei had remained silent, which made netizens even more certain that he was guilty.

After the video was posted, some people didn’t even bother watching it and immediately insulted him!

“You said that Qin Yu plagiarized last time and so you didn’t accept her. But now, your own apprentice plagiarized! Aren’t you going back on your words?”

“Please apologize to Qin Yu!”

“…”

Such posts were liked and extremely popular.

But five minutes later, a new reply gradually surfaced.

“Erm, everyone, wait. I think we’re standing on the wrong side. Everyone, please watch the video first…”

This person complimented Qin Ran and even apologized to Master Wei.

Soon, several new apology comments were posted.

Even the popular commenter that had asked Master Wei to apologize to Qin Yu replied under his own comment, abusing Qin Yu and Dai Ran!

The crowd of onlookers going with the flow were confused and clicked on the video.

The video was only five minutes, and it was evidently from several years ago. The video quality was far from the current high-definition, but the person who shot it probably learned videography professionally before, as all other aspects were excellent.

Last year, after Qin Yu’s performance in the exhibition competition, Dai Ran had accepted her as an apprentice because of the “spirituality” in her violin music.

Then, her video had quickly become popular on the Internet. Since then, she became a professional violin blogger and had accumulated many fans.

Most of her fans had fallen for her due to her first song, but Qin Yu hadn’t composed further and had focused on displaying her violin techniques.

When caught in the violin plagiarism storm, most people hadn’t listened to Qin Ran’s violin music. The small number of people who listened to it and commented that Qin Ran played better than Qin Yu had been completely refuted. As such, no one dared say anything about Qin Ran’s violin music. Those who dared to say so were accused of covering up for her wrongdoings and defending her.

Until today.

Qin Ran’s early violin music didn’t have much skill, but the first version was full of emotion, like a flame dancing in the dark night, completely different from Qin Yu’s light and gentle adaptation.

Qin Yu hadn’t been able to understand this kind of emotion and couldn’t control this style of music. Thus, she had adapted it and blended a few tunes into it, making it a petty rearrangement.

It wasn’t obvious if it wasn’t directly compared, but once it was, it completely came out short!

Even those who had jumped onto the bandwagon and didn’t understand music all had to admit this fact.

Most importantly, everyone could see the background in the video. The TV was muted, but it still showed the live broadcast of a sports meeting.

It was the International Games four years ago.

Teenagers of 15- or 16-years-old were in the growth period and changed day by day. Even if there wasn’t a TV in the background, everyone could see that the 16-year-old Qin Ran had short hair and a fresh look. Everything could be faked except time.

Qin Yu said it took her a month to write it out bit by bit a year ago…

Many netizens finally understood the truth in front of computers and mobile phones.

Of course, there were also some suspicions. Why did Qin Yu have the manuscript of the music? She had even published it.

When this question was posted, Master Wei’s Weibo was updated again!

[Manuscript of the sheet music? My apprentice has a lot.]

He also posted a picture along with the post, showing a pile of crumpled sheet music placed on the ground casually.

Unlike the video, this picture was very clear. Even the writings inside could be seen clearly when zoomed in.

The handwriting on the manuscript was messy and unruly. It was the exact same handwriting as the one Qin Yu had posted on Weibo before. Unlike her, Master Wei’s picture showed several manuscripts, while Qin Yu only had one!

There was no need for anyone to tie up loose ends. The truth was already out.

As soon as the video and the picture were posted, the netizens blew up. Over the past two days, Dai Ran believed that Master Wei couldn’t produce evidence. Eager for quick success and gains, he had brought an army of netizens and a spot on the hot search to blow this matter up. Now, it was like entering the bee’s nest, and the response was earth-shattering.

Netizens had scolded Master Wei on Weibo day and night, but at this moment, things took a turn, and they all apologized to him. Soon after, they went to comment on Dai Ran’s Weibo.

Dai Ran’s homepage was still showing the Weibo post he posted an hour ago, saying that he felt disdainful towards people who plagiarized. He had even pinned this post to the top, showing his firm stand.

At that time, the netizens all supported his defending of his apprentice’s rights and had also left encouraging messages praising his spirit. But now, they realized it had simply been created out of thin air, making them feel extremely disgusted.

At Dai Ran’s side.

He came out of the conference room and went to teach the students on the second floor.

At the end of the class, some people started whispering in low voices and stealing glances at him. Unaware of what happened, Dai Ran shushed them and then frowned. He left without finishing the class.

As soon as he went out, people from his party rushed over.

“What’s the matter? Why are you all so anxious?” Dai Ran patted his sleeves.

“It’s not good, Teacher Dai. Look at Weibo!” The other person’s face was pale, and he looked flustered.

Dai Ran’s heart skipped a beat. This matter didn’t seem trivial.

He opened Weibo immediately.

Weibo was a little laggy, and incessant notifications of new messages popped up.

Although Dai Ran was a teacher of the Violin Association, he was only well-known within the industry and had less than two million fans on his Weibo. Although his fans had increased recently because of Qin Yu, he was still rather unknown.

He clicked on the comment page, and the latest Weibo comment was no longer supporting him. Instead, it was scolding him as shameful, saying that he was a hypocrite and unworthy of being a teacher. Someone even asked if he was slapping his own face…

What was going on?!

Dai Ran was a little panicked right now. He followed what the netizens said and clicked on Master Wei’s Weibo. The first thing he saw was the picture full of manuscripts, and the second thing he saw was the video from four years ago.

Dai Ran’s mind buzzed, and his eyes turned dark.

“Teacher Dai, what should we do now?” In the past two days, people had already taken sides after seeing the situation between Teacher Dai and Master Wei. With such a development now, those people standing on Dai Ran’s side had already begun regretting picking sides too early.

Dai Ran’s head was empty. The words “hypocrite” and “unworthy of being a teacher” spun in his mind… He originally thought these names would be used on Master Wei, but at this time, he couldn’t bear it now that they were being used on him.

“Wait…” Dai Ran took the phone and started posting a new Weibo in a panic, trying to save himself—

[I wasn’t aware that Master Wei already knew his apprentice didn’t plagiarize. He never told me, and just let things develop to such a point. He made me defend my apprentice like a clown. But for this matter, I’m very apologetic towards Qin Ran and Master Wei…]

At this time, Cheng Juan had returned to Ting Lan.

Instead of going upstairs, he sat on the sofa in the lobby, holding his computer on his lap and resting his legs casually on the coffee table. He had his headphones on and was editing Cheng Jin’s recording.

Taking out his phone and flipping through Dai Ran’s Weibo, he smiled.

Cheng Mu brought him a cup of water, and he couldn’t help but tremble at the sight of his smile.

Cheng Juan drank the water and continued editing the recording. He opened Weibo and clicked on Dai Ran’s new post. Then, he slowly sent the recording link without hesitation—

Many people clicked on this recording link.

It was the conversation between Master Wei and Dai Ran.

“Dai Ran, I said last year that Qin Yu’s original song was plagiarized. That’s because I heard her original version a long time ago. Did Qin Yu make any new compositions this year? I don’t believe that you’re unclear.”

“You can put whatever you want in your mouth, but you should be mindful of what comes out of it. I’m sure you understand this point better than me.

“I don’t care what happens to her. I’ve already told you, as long as you post an apology on Weibo and give up the student position of Continent M’s Association, everything can be discussed.”

Dai Ran’s tone was sarcastic and aggressive, completely opposite from what he said on Weibo. Without a doubt, he had always known the truth.
