Chapter 17 - 17 The Real Leaker (Please Follow, Please Favorite)

The rest of the school is still unaware of what happened in the training room.

At this moment, the entire Linjiang First High School is in turmoil because of that rumor.

Upon learning of the incident, the principal immediately ordered a lockdown of the entire school, shut down the local network, and strictly forbade all students from spreading the rumors.

However, this action by the principal did not calm the situation; instead, it escalated it further.

"The principal actually locked down the whole school! It seems the news is true!"

"Did Cao Yong really deceive everyone? Oh my... as the head teacher of Class 8, how could he act so irresponsibly?"

"Who would have thought? The whole city knew our school supposedly had a top S-level talent, but it turns out to be fake!"

"This is going to be interesting to watch!"

With a mindset of wanting to stir trouble, many people secretly fanned the flames.

Throughout the school, from seniors down to freshmen, and even some uninformed teachers, were discussing the matter!

Soon, the entire school was buzzing with discussion, and tens of thousands of students and teachers were talking about it.

The situation was spiraling out of control.

...

School conference room.

At this moment, teachers and leaders from all grades were gathered, each with a grave expression.

The conference room was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense!

Standing at the head of the table, the principal looked displeased and said in a deep voice, "Who on earth leaked this information?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be strictly confidential?"

"Back when Cao Yong revealed Xu Zhou's talent, everyone was paying attention to our school!"

"Now with this incident happening, aren't we making our school a laughingstock?"

The principal was somewhat furious, and by the time he finished speaking, he pounded the table forcefully.

In fact, if they had just confessed from the beginning, it might have been fine.

The crux is that Cao Yong exaggerated Xu Zhou's talent, talking about being invincible at the same level, ranked among the top...

Now, schools around and leaders from Linjiang City, even big figures from nearby cities, are paying attention to this incident!

After all, a top S-level talent had never appeared in the small city of Linjiang.

The principal thought that even if Cao Yong mentioned it, as long as nothing untoward happened, it could garner some fame for their school.

But unexpectedly, things went awry so quickly.

What would outsiders think now?

The esteemed Linjiang First High School, the top high school in Linjiang City, creating a farce for some non-existent fame, deceiving millions of people!

A disgrace to Linjiang City, a disgrace to Jiangzhou!

Thinking of this, the principal's expression turned even more sour.

Among the seats, Cao Yong frowned; he had just learned of the matter.

Who would have thought that a lie he fabricated would escalate to this extent?

Cao Yong stood up and said, "Principal, this matter started because of me. If you want to punish me, go ahead, but I hope whoever leaked the information will also be severely punished!"

The principal glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "The person who leaked it will, of course, be found out."

"But the most pressing issue now is to prevent this uproar from escalating further!"

The principal's expression was extremely grim: "Now, from the freshmen to the seniors, all the classes are talking about it. Once they spread this outside, our school's reputation will be ruined!"

Hearing the principal's words, everyone fell into silence.

Block the students' mouths?

That's tens of thousands of students; it's not as easy as just saying it.

Moreover, even if we were to quiet them now, there's no guarantee they won't talk later.

At this point, a teacher spoke in a deep voice: "Let the perpetrator of this matter publicly clarify that it was just a misunderstanding."

As soon as these words came out, everyone started discussing.

"Who is the perpetrator?"

"Which teacher leaked it?"

In the conference room, the teachers looked at each other.

The principal said solemnly, "Tracing this is easy enough; whoever did it, just stand up."

Everyone fell silent again.

A moment later, a teacher stood up with a grim face.

The other teachers all looked at him.

It was Liu Kaiqi, the head teacher of Class 2, Grade 12!

A teacher exclaimed, "Old Liu, why is it you!"

With a grim expression, Liu Kaiqi said, "I accidentally let it slip earlier, but I've already strictly instructed that student not to spread it."
