Chapter 218: Chapter 218: A Paternity Test
As soon as Sheng Tang spoke, everyone’s eyes focused on her.
The live broadcast camera also pointed at her.
"Professor Sheng’s daughter? She’s a bit chubby. Professor Sheng is very handsome, and his wife is very beautiful."
"Chubby or not, she’s still pretty, with big, bright eyes."
The live audience started commenting on her.
The teachers at the school also looked at her.
Sheng Tang slightly bowed to the school leaders: "Teachers, may I ask Senior Chen Zhan a few questions?"
The leaders of the education authority had seen Sheng Tang before; back then at Huishi High School, Sheng Tang had played and sung a song by herself, and afterwards, their director had praised her for a long time.
It was very rare to see such motivation in young students nowadays.
So, the leader of the education authority spoke up: "You may ask."
Sheng Tang turned to Chen Zhan: "Senior, you are indeed at a dead end now, but you mentioned many points, like the recording being fake, the scarf being fake, and the witness being fake..."
At this point, Sheng Tang paused, "But why didn’t you mention the most crucial piece of evidence?"
Chen Zhan suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.
The teachers were confused by Sheng Tang’s words.
Because the developments had taken too many twists and turns, they could hardly remember the details.
The live audience was still watching Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang looked into Chen Zhan’s slightly tense eyes: "You initially claimed you were pregnant, right? You even brought out a pregnancy test.
Everything can be faked, but a child cannot. Since you’re firmly accusing my father of being guilty, can you have a paternity test done for the child in your womb?"
"Of course, I must do it!" Chen Zhan couldn’t hide the fluster on her face.
"The child needs to be born for the test, which is the technology available domestically. But my classmate said there’s a hospital in Hong Kong that can do the test when the embryo is over two months old.
Your child is already over two months old, right? If so, are you willing to go to Hong Kong, accompanied by personnel from the education authority, to have the test done?" Sheng Tang asked.
The live audience started commenting again.
"Two months and it’s doable? Impossible."
"It’s true, they can do it in Hong Kong."
Everyone had their own opinions.
Chen Zhan’s face turned pale.
She bit her lip, seemingly trying to control herself.
Sheng Tang looked at her: "Senior, are you really pregnant? How about this, let’s go to a hospital first to check if you are actually pregnant, shall we?"
Everyone looked at Chen Zhan.
Chen Zhan’s face had gone ashen like a ghost.
She was indeed not pregnant, and anyway, others couldn’t possibly know. She could say the baby was miscarried after some time, and she could still gain some sympathy.
Due to the absence of the child, she had forgotten this detail while arguing.
This minor slip was immediately detected by Sheng Tang.
The leader of the education authority looked from one person to another and spoke: "Let’s do a paternity test to clear Professor Sheng’s name."
He no longer referred to him as "Sheng Sidong," indicating he was fully convinced.
The live audience continued commenting.
"Yeah, why say so much? The child is the key."
"Go get the test. If it isn’t Professor Sheng’s, she’s lying; if it is, no matter how much Professor Sheng argues, it’s useless."
"Perhaps there’s no child at all."
"This woman talks nonsense."
Chen Zhan was trembling: "I..."
The leader of the education authority noticed and instructed a few female teachers: "You first accompany her to an authoritative hospital to determine if she is actually pregnant. Then we will arrange for people to go with members of your school to take her to Hong Kong for the test. The cost of the test will be covered by Professor Sheng. Professor Sheng, you have no objections, right?"
"I have no objections," Professor Sheng said calmly.
Chen Zhan suddenly stood up.
