Chapter 99 - 99: Suspected of Cheating

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing the homeroom teacher’s words, all the students in the class couldn’t help but look at Nan Yan.

Could it be that Nan Yan really performed so well in the exam?

But how was that possible? Her previous grades were so bad; she had always been at the bottom. How could she suddenly do so well?

A girl directly spoke up, “Teacher, just tell us who it is. Don’t keep us in suspense!”

“It’s our classmate Nan Yan.” The homeroom teacher’s expression was somewhat solemn, not showing too much joy. “Nan Yan ranked first in the total scores in this exam, across the entire grade.”

As soon as he said that, the entire class erupted in excitement.

Nan Yan’s achievement was not something that a low-performing student could achieve. Everyone’s first thought was whether she had cheated.

The homeroom teacher didn’t want to suspect his students, and he wanted to give Nan Yan some face, but this achievement was really too incredible.

Instead of publicly accusing Nan Yan of cheating, he tactfully asked, “Nan Yan, do you know your exact score?”

Nan Yan casually propped her chin and raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. “I didn’t check the total score, but it’s probably only two or three points away from the full score. The composition couldn’t possibly be full marks.”

Atter she said this, the other students in the class were dumbfounded.

Then, some discordant voices emerged:

“Cheating to this extent, is she not afraid of being caught?”

“If she wanted to get good grades, she should have worked hard normally.

What’s the point of cheating to get first place?”

“She’s so arrogant. Even if she wanted to get a high score, she could have achieved something similar without cheating. Going all the way to cheat and become first place in the grade means she thinks everyone else is stupid!”

“She has the nerve to say that…”

Some quiet whispers, mostly from the girls in the class.

Even the boys who had recognized her as their leader looked a bit at a loss.

They wanted to speak up for her, but they couldn’t come up with an excuse.

The homeroom teacher was also feeling a headache.

It wasn’t just her homeroom teacher who suspected the authenticity of Nan Yan’s scores. Every teacher who had taught Nan Yan suspected that she had cheated.

After all, it was possible for a low-performing student to suddenly improve by a few tens of places or even over a hundred places if they worked hard during this period. But for a student who was doing terribly to suddenly transform into a top student, scoring full marks in all subjects except Chinese, was simply unimaginable.

Seeing Nan Yan’s attitude, the homeroom teacher asked more directly, “Nan

Yan, are you sure this score is genuine?”

“Teacher, are you asking if I cheated?” Nan Yan’s beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, her voice clear and melodious, “I guarantee on my character that this is my genuine score.”

“Haha… This is hilarious! Does she even have any character?”

“Really funny. She can cheat so openly and still has the nerve to say she has character! ”

Lu Rongrong deliberately spoke loudly, “Some people have no bottom line. To get higher ranks and win our money, she cheated on the exam, and now she won’t even admit it…”

Lu Rongrong’s words caught the homeroom teacher’s attention. He frowned and asked, “What money?”

“Teacher, you don’t know. Just before the exam, we made a bet with Nan Yan…”

Lu Rongrong didn’t fear being exposed or criticized by the school. She directly revealed the bet they had with Nan Yan.

“She thought one million was too little, so she said that for every rank she improved, it would be ten thousand.”

“Now she scored first in the entire school, which means she improved by over four hundred places. That’s over four million!”

“For these four million, cheating is meaningful!”

The homeroom teacher’s expression completely changed. “Nan Yan, is there such a thing?”

“Yes.” Nan Yan nonchalantly nodded, her clear gaze sweeping across the class as she said nonchalantly, “So, remember, give me the money-

“You are too much!” The homeroom teacher’s face turned somewhat red with anger. “Nan Yan, come with me to the office. Class monitor, distribute the exam papers. This class will be self-study for this period.”

The homeroom teacher put down the stack of exam papers in his hand and walked out, unable to conceal his frustration.

Nan Yan stood up, calmly and composedly following him.

Lu Rongrong watched her with delight in her eyes, but when Nan Yan casually glanced in her direction, a chill ran down her spine.

Only when Nan Yan left the classroom did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She glared at Nan Yan with resentment.

It was already at this point, and Nan Yan was still so arrogant. She really didn’t know the gravity of her situation!

“Nan Yan, you better explain yourself. Did you cheat in this exam?”

“And that bet, did you really cheat to win the money, seeking illegal profits?” The homeroom teacher had originally harbored some sympathy and goodwill towards Nan Yan.

He had seen how she was treated by her family and knew that she was not favored at home.

He wanted to give her some care and allow her to study well.

However, who would have thought that she would do something like this!

“Teacher, I’ve already said that this is my true score. If you ask now, it’s obvious that you don’t believe me.”

‘ Perhaps, you never trusted me from the very beginning. Therefore, no matter how I explain myself, it’s just an excuse when you’ve already defined it as cheating. ”

Nan Yan’s tone was very calm, and her casual attitude was very depressing.

The homeroom teacher pinched the space between her eyebrows.” Call your parents over. Other than plagiarism, you’re also suspected of gathering people to gamble. If such a thing happens, we need to inform your parents.”

“What’s going on?”

The Headmaster pushed the door open and saw the two confronting each other. He couldn’t help but ask.

“This is how it is, Headmaster. I suspect that Nan Yan’s scores are not genuine. She scored first place in the exam, and except for the Chinese composition, she got full marks in all other subjects. Moreover, she was involved in gambling with money on the line.”

The homeroom teacher’s expression was a little ugly.” She still refuses to admit that she cheated. And the surveillance cameras from the examination back then did not show any evidence of her cheating…’

“I hope to find Nan Yan’s parents and have a serious discussion about this matter.”

At the homeroom teacher’s words, the headmaster also couldn’t believe it. “Nan Yan, did you really manage to hack the system and get the test papers in advance?”

This was the most reasonable guess he could think of.

After all, he also found it hard to believe that a student who was ranked close to the bottom could suddenly become the first in the grade.

“Headmaster, Teacher, I have a way that can prove I didn’t cheat. Would you like to try it?” Nan Yan said with a meaningful smile, her attitude calm and unruffled.

“What is it?”
