âHow could Rong Feiyu, someone with such stellar grades and a good reputation, do something so counterproductive?â Tang Lin said, exasperation clouding his features.
Rong Feiyu looked innocent as she replied, âSister, I didnât. I just happened to be passing by during the time shown in the surveillance footage.â
âAh, yes, âhappenedâ to be skulking around that corner,â Rong Qi nodded sagely, fixing her gaze on Tang Lin. Her words dripped with pointed meaning. âThat âexcellent personâ youâre so fond of talking about? Sheâs been left in my dust. If you think her actions are nonsensical, what illness must I be suffering from to do what Iâve done?â
âYou!â Tang Lin felt as if Rong Qi was purposely twisting his words. Frustrated, he flung his sleeve and said, âYouâre a student of Ms. Seven and you behave this way? Shameless! If Iâm Ms. Seven, Iâd say youâve disgraced us completely!â
Just as Tang Linâs words began to fade, the homeroom instructor of Class 2 suddenly exclaimed, âOh my God! Everyone, look at the campus forum!â
The issue of Su Yifan cheating had initially been suppressed by Han Yi. However, what they hadnât expected was that the vice-president of the student council, who happened to be passing by, overheard the affair and immediately uploaded it to the campus forum.
The post was titled, [Final Exams Approaching, Third-Year Senior Su Yifan Cheats for Love!]
As soon as the post went live, the crowd erupted in a cacophony of opinions, many remembering the previous admission test leak scandal.
[I always said there was something off about Rong Qi, right? Itâs been three years since Capital University had a top scorer. You think she belongs in Class 7?]
[But we all watched Rong Qiâs live-streamed exams. She couldnât have cheated, right? Just grabbing my popcorn here.]
[Iâm just here to watch, no comments.]
[Hold on, letâs not forget Rong Qi is part of the Academic and Research Society committee. She cleared their exam with full marks. Could this be a frame-up by Duan Shujie? Iâve heard he doesnât get along with Class 7.â
[â¦]
Faces in the office turned a shade paler upon reading the post. Except for Rong Qi. Her reputation on the forum was already a mixed bag, so she wasnât bothered.
Su Yifan looked deathly pale. When lightning strikes twice, itâs hard to survive. He felt his world going cold.
âWho uploaded this post? Find them and make them pay!â Qiu Yonggen slammed the desk, furious.
The Class 2 instructor meekly suggested, âMr. Qiu, itâs too late for that now. The matter has already escalated. We need to issue a statement.â
Qiu Yonggen looked at Su Yifan with disappointment. He was the talent they had planned to keep under their wing, who had, in a matter of months, caused them not one but two major issues.
With a resigned sigh, Qiu Yonggen declared, âSu Yifan acted impulsively due to love and committed a grave mistake. He shall be severely penalized. As for Rong Qiâ¦â
Qiu Yonggen turned to the composed figure and said sternly, âRong Qi has instigated others to cheat. Her behavior is appalling. We will decide on disciplinary action once we get to the bottom of this.â
âMr. Qiu, the truth is already out,â someone in the office muttered.
On the forum, an ID named âComputer Teacherâ posted two unedited videos. In them, both the faces and voices were crystal clear.
The first video showed Rong Feiyu and Su Yifan in a secluded campus corner, holding hands. Rong Feiyu was pleading for his help to steal the exam questions, to which Su Yifan reluctantly agreed.
The second video was more recent. It showed Su Yifan and Rong Feiyu arriving at the administrative office to steal the exam paper. Su Yifan snuck in while Rong Feiyu kept watch outside..
