Chapter 250 - Are You That Stupid?

This voice was so low that only s.h.i.+ Jin could hear it.

s.h.i.+ Jin never left her books on the desk. She also kept her papers in her bag.

When she heard this, she reached into her desk and took out something. It was indeed a small doc.u.ment bag with the seal of Beijing University. She reached inside and took out a piece of paper. On it was written the interview theme of the exam.

Ji Huan whispered, "You need to come with us."

"Alright." s.h.i.+ Jin stood up and followed Princ.i.p.al Lu out with her bag.

Ji Huan was so worried that her delicate eyebrows tangled together. She firmly believed that s.h.i.+ Jin would not do such a thing, but who else could it be?

s.h.i.+ Jin followed behind her, but her mind was clearer than that of the others.

Others might find it difficult to guess the relations.h.i.+p between them, but she could see through it at a glance.

Wasn't this just a matter between Chu Jia and s.h.i.+ Xuexin?

Ji Huan turned around and said to s.h.i.+ Jin, "Don't be afraid. We have already dealt with this matter in a low-profile manner. No matter who did it, if word gets out, Second High's reputation will be hurt. Princ.i.p.al Jiang also said that it won't be good to make it public."

"Okay." s.h.i.+ Jin nodded, but she knew that Ji Huan must be doing this for her own good.

However, Princ.i.p.al Lu and Princ.i.p.al Jiang were definitely doing this for the reputation of their respective schools.

Princ.i.p.al Lu didn't say anything, but Princ.i.p.al Jiang couldn't help but wonder: How big of a crime was this?

Of course, these thoughts were understandable.

As s.h.i.+ Jin thought about this, she arrived at his office. She looked up and saw Chu Jia.

"Oh," s.h.i.+ Jin thought to herself. "Chu Jia probably doesn't want to make it public either."

After all, if this matter blew up, she wouldn't be able to escape. However, she was unwilling to give up, so she was still doing it secretly, hoping to resolve this matter in a low-key way.

It was Princ.i.p.al Jiang's first time meeting s.h.i.+ Jin. He didn't chase celebrities or watch variety shows, so he hadn't even seen her before.

Looking at her this way, she looked quite similar to Gu Jingyuan, but she was fairer than Gu Jingyuan. She looked like a smart child.

No matter what happened, Princ.i.p.al Jiang was already biased towards s.h.i.+ Jin.

He said amiably, "s.h.i.+ Jin, right? I'm Princ.i.p.al Jiang from Beijing University. I called you before."

"Yeah, that's me."

"Have you found that thing?" Princ.i.p.al Jiang took the doc.u.ments from Ji Huan. "This, s.h.i.+ Jin, can you tell me how you got it?"

"It's not mine. I've never seen it before," s.h.i.+ Jin said calmly.

Chu Jia could not hold it in any longer. "How could you not have seen that package before? I saw you looking at this before the exam. I was quite curious, but I didn't know what you were looking at. Today, you guys went out for dinner, and I was cleaning up the place. That's how I saw this thing in your desk. s.h.i.+ Jin, I don't know how you got it, but is it fair to others to do that? If you take the place, it will be unfair to the other people who are seriously studying and taking the exam fairly!"

s.h.i.+ Jin looked up. The corners of her eyes were slightly curved and there was a hint of coldness in them.

Chu Jia s.h.i.+vered when she saw s.h.i.+ Jin's expression, but she had a guilty conscience to begin with, so she did not feel that this was a fear that s.h.i.+ Jin was causing.

Chu Jia said loudly, "Is it fair? Princ.i.p.al Jiang, Princ.i.p.al Lu, Teacher Ji, what do you think?"

s.h.i.+ Jin looked at Princ.i.p.al Jiang. "This is not mine. I haven't seen it before. Check the surveillance camera to see who touched my desk."

Ji Huan said in a low voice, "I've already checked, but the surveillance cameras in the cla.s.sroom were broken today, so there's no evidence."

Chu Jia said, "What a coincidence."

"If this thing was mine, I would have destroyed it long ago. I wouldn't have been so stupid as to leave it here." s.h.i.+ Jin looked at Chu Jia. "If it was you, would you be so stupid?"

Chu Jia suddenly felt suffocated.

s.h.i.+ Xuexin had repeatedly instructed her to destroy it once she saw it, but she didn't know what was wrong with keeping it.

Then, when the results came out, she had been crushed. s.h.i.+ Jin did not even consider her a compet.i.tor.

Chu Jia had been unconvinced and finally felt that this thing had some use.

She quickly adjusted her att.i.tude. "It's not mine, why are you asking me?"

Princ.i.p.al Jiang pondered for a moment. He felt that this was a flimsy case and there was no need for him to punish s.h.i.+ Jin over it. He said, "I think this might be a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding?" Chu Jia said, "Could there be such a coincidental misunderstanding? Is this how Beijing University handles things? If we can't all do the exams fair and square, what's the point of your university running them? s.h.i.+ Jin has had a 'misunderstanding', should we just bear with it?"

Princ.i.p.al Jiang noticed something about Chu Jia's aggressiveness and asked, "Student, what do you want me to do?"

"Since s.h.i.+ Jin already has an unfair advantage, you shouldn't accept her results. But if you give me similar results, I'll pretend that I've never seen any of this before."

Chu Jia finally revealed her motive.

She could not accept losing. The Chu family could not accept it either. Hence, she had come up with this rotten idea.

She guessed that Second High School definitely did not want the scandal to blow up. It was the same for Beijing University. If the cheating scandal was exposed, then Beijing University's hundred-year reputation would be ruined.

Others would also wonder if this was really all that had been leaked. Were there no other leaked questions? Were the exam rules fair?

Chu Jia felt like she was strangling Princ.i.p.al Jiang.

What she wanted was so simple. She believed that Princ.i.p.al Jiang could do it for her. How could Princ.i.p.al Jiang not know the severity of the matter?

He definitely had to investigate the matter of the questions leaking, and he had to investigate it thoroughly! He just didn't want to make it too public.

Chu Jia waited patiently.

Princ.i.p.al Lu and Ji Huan were also troubled. No matter what, Second High could not escape this matter.

The matter also involved their favorite, s.h.i.+ Jin. It was really worrying, but they couldn't make a decision for Princ.i.p.al Jiang.

This matter held a lot of implications.

Only then did s.h.i.+ Jin raise her eyes and say calmly, "Teacher Ji, where are the surveillance cameras in the cla.s.s?"

"Here, they're just broken. There's no footage of today," Ji Huan said.

s.h.i.+ Jin put down her bag and rolled up her sleeves. "I'll try to recover the data."

"Huh?" Ji Huan was surprised and looked at the two princ.i.p.als.

"I have no objections."

"I have no objections."

Chu Jia had her own opinions, but no one gave her a chance to protest. No one cared about her opinions.

s.h.i.+ Jin was already sitting in front of Ji Huan's computer. No one spoke. Only Chu Jia clenched her fists. No way, no way! Could s.h.i.+ Jin really…

She only saw white lines of code flas.h.i.+ng across the black screen on s.h.i.+ Jin's computer screen.
