Chapter 117
Ding Cheng was struggling to the end, but still made up his mind, he walked directly to the sofa and said to Ding Lingling, "Sit down first, and I will tell you slowly, this matter...it's a long story."

Ding Lingling was relieved when she heard the words, but her face was still serious. She had to find out the truth of the matter today, and she didn't want to be kept in the dark anymore.

Both father and daughter sat down on the sofa. Ding Cheng's eyes were a little melancholy, as if lost in memory, he sighed and said in a heavy tone.

"Su Changping, and Zhou Rongsheng, they are indeed my good brothers..."

When he said this, a trace of nostalgia flashed across Ding Cheng's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily. It could be seen that he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.

Ding Lingling's breathing slowed down a lot, but her eyes stared straight at her father, and doubts arose in her heart.

Since they are good brothers, why did they come to this point?If they were really good brothers, then he and Su Zhiqiu should have known each other earlier, and the two might become family friends.

Ding Lingling was thinking wildly, and Ding Cheng slowly said: "The three of us met in college, and we were admitted to T University in the same class, not only in the same major, but also in the same dormitory. This is fate. What's even more rare is that we have the same interests and complementary personalities."

"In the following years, you can probably guess some. We encouraged each other and improved each other. At that time, the university had a very strong academic atmosphere, and we would quarrel, but the content of the quarrels was all about knowledge."

"Among the three of us, the relationship between me and Su Changping is the best, especially in academics, our ideas often collide...Su Changping, like me, has a heart to pursue the upper reaches. The two of them often took turns to be the first chair in the grade, which can be regarded as a kind of healthy competition."

Listening to what her father said, Ding Lingling felt a little envious in her heart. Such like-minded friends are really rare.

Friends are not only about being in sync with each other in life, but also having the same aspirations and common pursuits in career and studies, that is even more rare.

People like Dad and Su Changping should be regarded as confidants, right?But... why did things turn out like this?
Ding Lingling looked at the nostalgia and smile on her father's face, and felt a little heavy in her heart, there must be a reason.

Ding Cheng's smile also changed at this time, and his voice became a little more serious: "I originally thought that the three of us would go to the end together, maybe we could do business together in the future, but who knows, it's just like this. Suddenly it happened."

As he said that, pain flashed across Ding Cheng's face. He suddenly looked at Ding Lingling, but it was as if he was looking at others through Ding Lingling.

He slowly said: "The accident occurred in a paper, which is a very important research. If the best paper can be written, the author of the paper will have the opportunity to study abroad, and it is a prestigious Ivy League school."

Ding Lingling frowned when she heard the words, and couldn't help feeling a little ominous in her heart.

Dad just started, and she already guessed something...Even if it is a prestigious Ivy League school now, it is a rare opportunity to study abroad, it won't be... the same as she imagined, right?

The uneasiness in Ding Lingling's heart became more and more intense, and she looked at her father even more intently.

Ding Cheng's voice also slowly sank, as if he didn't want to mention it, but he had to.

"At that time, there were only five places in our school to participate in the competition. The three of us usually worked hard and were quite talented. We were also well-known in the whole school. I'm not boasting, it's true, so this time the competition The quota, all three of us got one, which is very rare.”

"In addition to the three of us, there are two other excellent seniors. At that time, we still had a year to graduate, and the seniors were about to graduate soon. Whether it is for them or us, this opportunity is very important."

"However, although there are five places to participate in the competition, there is only one person who can really get this opportunity to go abroad."

Ding Lingling's heart couldn't help but hang up.

Yes, there is only one quota, and even if the quota goes to the three of them, only one of them can go abroad.

So... the accident happened because of this match?
Ding Cheng didn't want to continue to hide it, he had already talked about this point, and it was meaningless to continue to hide it, so he might as well vomit it quickly.

Ding Cheng's eyes became painful and anxious. He looked at Ding Lingling with red eyes and said, "But because of this quota, I lost my friend. The day before the paper was submitted, my paper... disappeared."

Ding Lingling's heart skipped a beat, and Su Zhiqiu's words kept echoing in her ears, but she still wanted to confirm it from her father.

She asked calmly, "And then?"

Ding Cheng's voice was choked with sobs: "My thesis is missing. This is a big deal, a very big deal, because this competition is very important. My thesis cannot be put away casually. There is no accidental loss. It can only be lost. ... was stolen."

Ding Lingling only felt that it was difficult to breathe. Compared with her father, she looked like a criminal who was being tried at this time. Ding Lingling didn't dare to listen, but she had to.

She asked with difficulty: "And then? Is it finally confirmed that it was stolen?"

Ding Cheng's eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears slowly accumulating: "That's right, after reporting to the school, the school quickly asked the security team to search, and searched the entire dormitory and teaching building, and finally, finally ..."

Speaking of this, Ding Cheng really couldn't continue. He scratched his hair with his hands, and the veins on his forehead began to pop up. He said in pain: "Finally, I found my thesis from Su Changping's box."

Su Changping took Dad's paper?

As soon as these words came out, Ding Lingling felt that her strength was drained instantly. She looked at her father in disbelief, unable to hide her shock, and asked subconsciously.

"Dad, so you assume that Su Changping stole it!"

Ding Cheng sighed and looked at Ding Lingling like a trapped animal: "Of course not. I have known Changping for so long. When I was first discovered, I didn't believe it at all."

"I would rather believe that Su Changping got the paper accidentally, put it in the box accidentally, and then forgot to tell me. I absolutely don't believe that he stole it, or it may be because of other reasons, but I never believe it. Su Changping stole the paper!"

"Not only did I not believe it, but no one believed it at the time, because Changping's reputation was very good, he was helpful in school, and he had no airs, but at this moment..."

Ding Cheng paused again, and said with a trembling voice: "At first, everyone didn't believe it and thought it was a misunderstanding, but who knew..."
