Suddenly, the class was completely silent. Everyone was rendered speechless by An Wen’s reasoning.

The corners of Tang Rui’s lips curled into a faint smile.

“Are you saying that you didn’t cheat?” Zeng Xiuman asked.

“What’s the point of cheating on exams of this level? The headteacher said that somebody reported me for cheating. After that, the school checked the surveillance cameras and assumed that I knew the questions beforehand because I finished the examination so quickly. The teachers are going to find a harder set of exam papers so that I can retake the examinations tomorrow.”

An Wen thought, ‘If the new tests were slightly harder, that would mean that they were Senior Three science tests.’

“Of course you’d insist that you never cheated. You’re the only person who truly knows whether you’ve cheated or not. You were absent for half a month, but you managed to get the highest test scores when you came back. Do you think that you’re a genius?” Zou Yingying scoffed coldly.

An Wen thought, ‘You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, but that’s the truth!’

“It’s your choice whether you want to believe her or not, but An Wen truly did not cheat. It looks like you’re jealous of her!” Zeng Xiuman said loudly.

“I don’t have to feel guilty about my results because I did the questions by myself. Why would I be jealous of someone who cheated?”

While the two girls argued, the other classmates began to have a discussion as well. The advanced class was usually quiet, but there was a loud commotion now.

“What’s all this fuss about?” The class teacher was wearing a suit of black clothes when she tapped her fingers against the door. Her expression did not seem unusual, but it appeared that the teacher’s anger had almost boiled over. There was also a stern look in her eyes. The students in her class instantly seemed like rats who had just seen a cat. They shut their mouths and lowered their heads while pretending to read their books.

The teacher walked into the classroom and placed the exam papers in her hands on the podium. She asked sternly, “Do you think that you did well during the examinations? Do you think that you can get into Qing University? Are all of you smart enough to be top scholars?”

The students lowered their heads and looked at their exam papers or books. They were too afraid to speak.

“Take out your exam papers! We’ll discuss the essays first,” the teacher said.
