Gu Mang looked at her and answered calmly, “Oh. Looking for me?”

Xi Yan nodded.

Gu Mang raised her beautiful eyebrows and looked really nonchalant. The corner of her lips curled up and she looked defiant and wild. “Let’s go, then.”

She turned around and walked calmly.

“Gu Mang, wait.” Xi Yan pulled her back.

She turned around slightly and she was expressionless. It was as if she did not even care about what was about to happen.

Xi Yan looked at her clear eyes. “Gu Mang, I know that you did not cheat. When you are in the meeting room later, explain to the investigation team well. You’ll be fine.”

When she spoke, she sounded tense and very afraid.

Gu Mang smiled and put her arm around Xi Yan’s shoulders. Then, she walked forward and said calmly, “Relax, I will handle this matter. When I said I would win you the Most Outstanding Year Three Teacher Award I meant it.”

Xi Yan was still thinking about what to say when Gu Mang looked at her calmly. She kept silent yet her eyebrows still showed that she was frowning worriedly.

…

When they arrived at the meeting room, it was time for dismissal. There were many cars parked outside the teaching block. There was a police car and a black car with the words “Law Enforcement and Supervision” printed on the side of the car.

With such a big commotion on Weibo, almost all the students knew who had come to their school. Gu Yin stood in front of the pillar and looked across at Xi Yan and Gu Mang who were walking along the corridor.

“I wonder how they will deal with Gu Mang.” Jianghuai smiled as he spoke.

Gu Yin’s desk mate answered. “Before the people in the inspection team head over, they must have investigated Gu Mang in advance. The purpose of coming here is to take her away. At the worst, she will be barred from taking any exams for three years and the matter regarding her cheating will be announced all over the web.”

If they had not made a thorough investigation, the investigation team would not come down to the school. Gu Mang had scored zeros in all her subjects in the past. That could be evidence of her cheating.

“Announced all over the web?” Gu Yin turned to her desk mate. “Isn’t that very embarra.s.sing?”

Jianghuai scoffed. “Does that matter? Who made her cheat?”

Gu Yin’s eyes were drooping and her expression could not be seen clearly. The corner of her lips curled downwards.

…

In the Year Three Department Meeting Room.

Everyone inside wore the uniform of the Ministry of Education’s Investigation Team..

“We can’t see much from the surveillance cameras but nowadays, there are a lot of ways to get around visual surveillance nowadays. Even equipment for blocking out signals would not work.”

The people from the investigation team looked at the computer screen on the meeting table. In the footage on screen Gu Mang was reading the questions very calmly but she was very quick when she was answering. She answered questions within a matter of seconds.

A person from the Ministry of Education took a look and with one hand on his back, he pointed at the screen with the other. “She’s moving too quickly. There is a 90% chance that she is cheating.”

He had never seen anyone answer such questions so quickly unless they already knew the answers. Princ.i.p.al Fu stood to the side. Almost everyone at the scene had a higher status than him so there was no room for him to speak up.

Xi Yan led Gu Mang to the entrance of the meeting room and heard them saying that the surveillance footage was insufficient evidence to prove that Gu Mang had not cheated. Xi Yan paused and watched Gu Mang enter the room.

Upon seeing Gu Mang, Princ.i.p.al Fu took a few steps forward. “Gu Mang.”

She nodded politely. “Princ.i.p.al.”

Princ.i.p.al Fu looked at the investigators and the police. Then, he introduced them to Gu Mang. “Leader Liu has some questions for you. Answer as many as you can.”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrow slightly and uttered a soft a.s.sent.

“Gu Mang, huh?” Leader Liu pointed at the camera footage that was projected in the meeting room. “Can you tell me how you managed to answer those questions so quickly?”

Gu Mang was expressionless as she answered simply, “Not difficult.”

Her tone was calm but everyone on scene felt, for some reason, that she was rather arrogant.
