“Exactly. Lin Ruiyang only scored 730. How could Shen Qing possibly have scored higher than him?”

“Shen Qing is a public figure who has even won awards, yet she would do something like this. It’s truly chilling…”

The principal sat at the head of the table and frowned. “Quiet!”

He turned to Xie Mingming. “Teacher Xie, what do you think of this?”

Xie Mingming still had not recovered from the shock. “This… Shen Qing really came first in the entire school?”

Director Yan glanced at him. “If her score is included, strictly speaking, she came first in the entire city.”

In this joint examination, Lin Ruiyang had scored 730, just half a point higher than the top student at No. 2 High School. Shen Qing had scored 745, losing only five points on the written portion of the paper.

“Wow, Shen Qing is actually that impressive!” Xie Mingming could not help exclaiming.

“Wait, why are you praising her? The issue now is that she cheated.”

“Teacher Wang.” The principal cast a cold glance at the person who had just spoken.

Teacher Wang wanted to say more, but the principal’s gaze silenced him.

At last, Xie Mingming understood the whole situation. “Principal, Director Yan, the Shen Qing in our class is not the sort of person who would cheat. If she had the ability to cheat, why wouldn’t she have done so on the first monthly exam? Why would she choose to walk straight into the line of fire this time?”

“That makes sense,” one of the teachers agreed.

Xie Mingming smiled at him, then continued, “But are you certain the papers weren’t mixed up? I still find it hard to believe that Shen Qing could come first.”

The principal pondered for a moment. “Whether it’s a mule or a horse, you’ll know once you lead it out for a run. Teacher Xie, go and bring Shen Qing here.”

When Yu Min’er came out of the restroom, she saw Ruan Yingying leaning against the railing and looking at something below.

“Yingying, what are you looking at?” Yu Min’er walked over, stood beside her, and looked down as well.

Ruan Yingying was visibly excited. “Min’er, look at that teacher. Isn’t he handsome?”

Yu Min’er followed her gaze. A young man stood beside a black van, his head bowed as he spoke on the phone. An air of distinguished elegance surrounded him.

“Do we have a teacher like that at our school?” Yu Min’er searched her memory. She had never seen him before.

“You haven’t been at school much lately, so it’s normal that you haven’t seen him. He’s the new physical education teacher this term. He only teaches Class Three, and apparently he hardly ever comes to school except when he has a PE class.”

Yu Min’er narrowed her eyes. Class Three—that was Shen Qing’s class.

“Oh my goodness, Teacher Gu is so handsome. If only he taught our class!” Gu Yingying gushed. Just then, the van’s engine started below. The black vehicle turned around and drove away, while Teacher Gu disappeared in another direction.

“So many sixes?” Yu Min’er was drawn to the string of sixes on the license plate.

“Hey, Yingying, did you see where that license plate was from?” Yu Min’er had noticed only the numbers at the back and had completely missed the regional designation at the front.

Teacher Gu? There was also a Gu family in the capital.

Ruan Yingying shook her head. She had not paid any attention to it. “What is it?”

Yu Min’er smiled. “Nothing.”

How could anyone from the Gu family possibly drive a van that was barely even ordinary?

“Hey, isn’t that Shen Qing?” Ruan Yingying spotted Shen Qing following the head teacher of Class Three around the corner of the stairs.

“Where are they going?”

Ruan Yingying gave a cold laugh. “Where else? Now that the joint-exam results are out, she’s obviously going to the office for a little ‘tea.’ With a brain like Shen Qing’s, she probably came first again—first from the bottom, that is.”

Because of Shen Qing’s previous online scandal, Ruan Yingying had been publicly reprimanded before the entire school and had suffered tremendous humiliation. Now she hated Shen Qing even more.

Yu Min’er lowered her head and smiled behind pursed lips. “You’re so funny.”

“What do you mean, funny? I’m only telling the truth. Shen Qing shamelessly chased attention everywhere before. Someone like her—only you could remain calm and get along with her.”

“Huh?”

Ruan Yingying and Yu Min’er walked side by side toward the classroom. “Min’er, you need to be careful. Shen Qing is extremely calculating. Just look at her class—they all follow her around like obedient dogs. She really knows how to manipulate people.”

Yu Min’er lowered her head and smiled faintly without replying. Her eyes were icy cold.
