The male supporting character was actually myself.

It has always been praised for its high college entrance examination pass rate and its rigorous teaching attitude.

As a private school, in order to build its reputation for high college entrance rates, it recruits top students from across the city for junior high school with generous conditions and follows an elite teaching route.

For example, the original owner, Du Jiangchen, was admitted to junior high school with the highest score in the city and was offered generous conditions—all fees were waived, and as long as she maintained a certain level of academic performance, she could also receive a generous scholarship.

Otherwise, Du's mother wouldn't have been willing to let him study here.

According to her, completing nine years of compulsory education is enough; the most important thing is to go home early and help with chores.

Preventing children from completing compulsory education is illegal; otherwise, Du Jiangchen might not even have had the chance to finish primary school.

When the original owner was admitted to Innis, Du's mother was not very happy.

She wanted Du Jiangchen to attend a school nearby, since the school near their home wasn't strictly managed and he could skip class anytime to go home and help with chores.

But when she heard that he could receive at least 30,000 yuan in scholarships every year, Du's mother finally relented.

At the same time, they made a three-point agreement: if Du Jiangchen's scholarship amounted to less than 30,000 yuan, he would immediately transfer to a school near his home.

High profile naturally attracts a lot of attention, and the title also mentions a very famous art exhibition.

The National Middle School Students' Art Exhibition was actually organized by a private organization.

Initially, the goal was simply to find good works nationwide and award them prizes, with the original intention being to give certain students a prestigious title.

Unexpectedly, after two sessions, major art academies have indeed discovered quite a few talented students among them.

There have even been instances where promising talents were exceptionally selected and reserved in advance.

Thus, this solo art exhibition became a great opportunity for many ordinary children with dreams of becoming artists to achieve their dreams.

The art exhibitions grew larger and larger, and their influence expanded nationwide.

There have been quite a few instances of cheating in previous years, since it's not a live drawing competition and the scoring is sometimes inevitably biased. But even if you're aware of it, you can't just blatantly expose the unspoken rules.

Once you openly admit it, the nature of the matter changes.

The post exposing the issue didn't even need any help from newbies to boost its data; its clicks soared and quickly spread from the Renjin City Forum to the whole country.

Various self-media outlets quickly sensed the opportunity and forwarded, commented, and even bought traffic to push a video that was only a little over a minute long to the top of the trending topics.

News of a top-tier celebrity's infidelity and domestic violence was suppressed.

[Yin Zigui – My dad is a shareholder in the school, so I'm a prince!]

[Shocking: Elite schools can pull off such outrageous tactics when electing class president]

Can a teacher who kneels teach students to stand tall?

"I cheated, so what can that poor kid do to me?"

……

Various eye-catching revelations have emerged online.

Yin Zigui's remarks quickly went viral online, and by evening, new memes of him had been created and widely circulated.

Netizens quickly uncovered his family information;

The official website published the award information and the oil painting;

Another whistleblower released other paintings by her sister, Yin Luoxi, for comparison, further solidifying the evidence.

Some parents of the participating students were angry;

Young people without children watched the drama unfold.

Many people also took the opportunity to start fights online.

Some commented that although Yin Zigui's words were harsh, they were true: it is difficult for children from poor families to achieve great things.

Some criticized him for being too arrogant, saying that he used bribery to become a class monitor at such a young age, not to mention his extremely bad behavior of blatantly cheating in the competition.

Some even criticized the teacher for being unfair;

Some people mocked that even with bribery, he would only have one more vote than Du Jiangchen, who was ranked first in the entire school...

Chapter Five: One Melon After Another

Amidst a deluge of comments and sparking numerous arguments and public outrage, the organizers of the recently concluded National Junior High School Students' Art Exhibition and Competition issued an urgent statement, vowing to thoroughly investigate the truth and prevent any cheating artwork from gaining a foothold.

The official website quickly reposted the competition rules, highlighting in bold red the words "Entries must be original works; any plagiarism or ghostwriting will be the sole responsibility of the submitter."

Innisington School's public relations department issued an urgent statement, stating that it will not tolerate any unfair treatment on campus, will punish the teacher who made the inappropriate remarks, and will conduct a full investigation into the matter.

At the same time, they strongly condemned the person who uploaded the video, accusing them of infringing on portrait rights, and so on.

The school's attempts to salvage its reputation through public relations were clearly futile. Netizens sarcastically remarked, "The school is willing to investigate its own shareholders? Who would believe that!"

As for the uploaded video, judging from the angle, it was taken by the school's own surveillance cameras, and generally very few people could actually touch it.

If anyone's going to investigate, it should be their own people; it won't affect netizens' gossip.

"Yin Zigui! Are you a pig? How can you be so brainless!"

Yin Bowen, who had promised his son yesterday that he would pick him up from school himself, had long lost his usual kind fatherly demeanor. He threw his phone at his son in exasperation, yelling, "Look at the stupid things you've said!"

It's one thing for your mom to treat your classmates to dinner to help you get votes, since it's just a small matter of running for class monitor.

"How can you say something like 'cheating' to win a competition' like that?"

Yin Zigui, who had never been scolded so loudly before, had tears welling up in his eyes. His wife, who was standing to the side, felt extremely sorry for him and went over to hug her son, gently advising her husband, "Oh dear, don't be so fierce."

If your child does something wrong, talk to him nicely.

Besides, Innsington School is far more arrogant than Zigui, so why single out our child's words and post them online?

You should find out who wants to ruin you.

Instead of yelling at the children here!

"Mom, it's all my fault." Yin Zigui pouted and huddled in her arms, sobbing as she apologized, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault! Please don't fight with Dad. If you make Dad angry, just give me a good beating."

Mrs. Yin was heartbroken. Her gentle eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said softly, "Look how sensible Zigui is. Please don't be so cruel to him."

The cyberbullying has already caused him a great deal of harm.

A warm home should be a safe haven for children; we must protect them as they grow up!

As a father, you must take responsibility and find out who is targeting you. Make the person who negligently leaked the video accountable!

Shut up all those who attacked your son!

Yin Bowen rubbed his temples, looking troubled. "I already asked the technical department."

The camera in the classroom has been broken and is no longer in use; the corresponding information cannot be found on the computer!

Now the other shareholders are all condemning me, and Zigui's remarks have had a very serious negative impact on Innsington. If this matter is not handled properly, it could lead to huge trouble!

The reputation of private schools is very important.

No matter how good the teaching attitude is usually advertised, once this video is released, it shows that the son of one of the school's shareholders is abusing his power, and even the teachers are biased and indulgent towards poor students with good grades. Facts speak louder than words.

The general public will only think that Innistin's advertising is usually false.

It might even attract the attention of relevant departments, leading to a review of the school's teaching qualifications.

He didn't have time to argue with his wife, and besides, given Yin Bowen's indecisive nature, it was impossible for them to reach any conclusion. The most important thing now was to minimize the impact as much as possible.

Otherwise, the family's peaceful life would be ruined.

The drama surrounding Innsington Secondary School hasn't even died down yet, and now the city's news has brought up an even more attention-grabbing story—a restaurant owner is suspected of child trafficking and abuse!

Jiang Chen insisted on appearing on camera without his face being blurred or using a pseudonym, tearfully recalling how he endured fifteen years of mistreatment under Du Pingping's abuse.

After showing the original owner's unhealed scars, the fair-skinned and handsome boy cried out to the camera in a heart-wrenching voice, "Mom and Dad, where are you?"

I want to go home!

I want a warm home and loving parents!

The news report also included a video of Du Pingping abusing children. Although it was only a few seconds long, everyone who saw the report felt indignant on behalf of the original owner.

"Du Jiangchen? Isn't that the boy who refused the vice class monitor in the Innsington High School news?"

"I specifically went back to check, and it's the same person!"

"It's so pitiful. She was abducted and separated from her biological parents, and she was abused every day. She was also bullied at school. This child is so pitiful."

"My God, they don't even get enough leftovers every day. They get beaten every day and still have to wash their sister's clothes, clean her shoes, and bring her food. Every day, he carries all the supplies on his thin body. Du Pingping is treating the children she bought like slaves!"

"Watching the video is infuriating! Du Pingping deserves to be tortured to death!"

"It's said that this is only a small part; the original files of the abuse videos are over 60 gigabytes! Du Pingping was abused from infancy until she was fifteen; she's a psychopath!"

"They were starving, cold, and forced to work every day, suffering beatings, yet Du Jiangchen still managed to get the top score in the whole school! It must be due to her intelligence; her biological parents must be amazing people, right?"

"Look at Du Pingping and her eighteen-year-old delinquent daughter, their faces are cut from the same mold, dead fish eyes, upturned noses, thick lips, so ugly that it's unbearable to look at them!"

Du Jiangchen is such a handsome guy with fair skin, almond-shaped eyes, and a high nose bridge; he's obviously not their biological son!

"I support the death penalty for human traffickers!"

……

The public outrage over the abduction and abuse did not quell the news about Innistant High School as Yin Bowen had hoped. On the contrary, Du Jiangchen, who had a tragic background but ranked first in the school, linked the two news stories together.

People who hadn't previously witnessed the bullying scandal have started paying attention.

Police have announced that Du Pingping has been stripped of his custody rights over Du Jiangchen. He is currently being placed in police custody, and the verdict against Du Pingping will be announced after the truth is uncovered.

Meanwhile, Yin Bowen, who was suffering from a terrible headache, was sulking, "How could I have given birth to such a son?"

The student with poor grades is at the bottom of the entire school;

He has absolutely no artistic talent;

Even their appearance doesn't resemble their parents at all..."

He muttered to himself as another news notification popped up on his phone.

When Yin Bowen saw the boy's face in the video, he stood up abruptly, as if he had been struck by lightning!

"How...how is this possible? How could he look exactly like me when I was a child?" His hands trembled as he quickly opened the news, afraid that it would disappear.

Before he could see the details, Yin Bowen froze the image and flipped through his treasured photo album to find photos of himself as a child. Comparing them, even the shape of his eyebrows was exactly the same!
