Chapter 421: Left with His Face Covered

Zhu Baoguo knitted his eyebrows and raised his fists. "Let me warn you. Don't force me to use my fists. The school taught the students well! They only know to shirk responsibility? Is Xiao Qiao to blame for your cheating in the exams? Don't be too cocky!"

What Zhu Baoguo said was, in fact, directed at Principal Wei. After all, Qiao Zijin was from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.

Principal Wei flushed red in anger. "Sun Lei, do you have any evidence? The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China will never tolerate students who have no self-respect or the will to improve, and who resort to deceit and are full of lies. As long as you tell us the truth, we will take it into consideration when deciding your punishment."

Principal Wei straightened his back. He would not be looked down upon by others.

Even if The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China had a bad student like Qiao Zijin, it did not mean that the school was not good in disciplining students. As the principal, he could tell right from wrong.

Sun Lei's eyes lit up. This was what he was waiting for. "Yes, I have the proof." Sun Lei took out the glasses case from his schoolbag. He opened it and took away the plastic layer inside the case.

After the plastic was peeled off, there was a piece of folded paper at the bottom of the case.

Sun Lei took the paper out of the spectacles case and handed it over to Principal Wei. "Principal, look at this. This is the evidence. Back then, I was in the same class as Qiao Zijin. In the beginning, I don't know that Qiao Zijin cheated to come in eighth place in the class. It was during one of the exams when someone threw something at my feet and I picked it up out of curiosity had I realized that it was the answer for the exam that I was sitting for right then."

Since they were in the same examination hall and had the same paper, Sun Lei only needed to make a comparison to know what the content on the paper was.

Besides, since they were in the examination hall, it was obvious what the paper was for.

Sun Lei was shocked when he first saw the paper. He was afraid that he would be discovered by the teacher. Hence, he quickly hid the paper.

Sun Lei observed the teacher for a long time and was sure that the teacher did not notice that he had the paper. After making sure that nobody was looking, he took a look at the paper.

What was written on the paper was similar to what Sun Lei had written on his exam paper, but there were a few differences.

Sun Lei made a mental note and hid the paper well. He continued with the exam and pretended as if nothing had happened.

When the exam was over and they had a short break in between, Sun Lei paid special attention to the students in the same examination hall as him. He was sure that the owner of the paper must have behaved out of the norm, looking uneasy and fidgety.

Qiao Zijin was anxious that the paper was missing She kept staring at the examination hall.

When they reentered the examination hall on the same day, Qiao Zijin deliberately lowered her head and looked carefully at the places near her seat, trying to look for the paper.

Most people would not have noticed anything strange about Qiao Zijin, but Sun Lei who had the paper with him could tell right away that Qiao Zijin was acting suspiciously.

"Even if you found this piece of paper in the examination hall, what does it have to do with Zijin? Is her name written on the paper? Didn't you mention that there are handwriting experts? You should do a test to determine whether the handwriting on the paper belongs to Zijin."

When Ding Jiayi looked at the handwriting on the paper, she was certain that they were not written by Qiao Zijin.

Since it was not written by Zijin, how could this paper prove that Zijin cheated in the past exams?

It was just an exam. It was not that difficult.

The wretched girl could come in the first place in the level time and again. Given Zijin's intelligence, it would not be that difficult to come in eighth place in the class. There was no need for her to cheat.

Zijin was so smart. She definitely did not need to cheat. She did not believe what Sun Lei said.

Sun Lei was not surprised that Ding Jiayi would side with Qiao Zijin. "The handwriting on the paper does not belong to Qiao Zijin, but it can't prove that this paper has nothing to do with her and that she didn't cheat. Whenever we have important exams, the teacher will keep the papers for future reference. I still remember which exam and for which semester it was when I found the paper. It's not possible for everyone to have the same results and answers. If you want to know whether I'm telling the truth, after going back, the teachers can compare Qiao Zijin's exam papers with the content of this paper and we will know whether Qiao Zijin copied the answers or not."

Sun Lei smiled grimly. "What is true cannot become false, and what is false cannot become true. Do you think that I am easily bullied? Do you think that I will not revolt?"

He had underestimated Qiao Zijin. She must have come up with this plan to plot against him and get him expelled from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China as he had seized upon the chinks in her armor and she refused to be threatened by him.

She was too vicious!

"Besides that, I have done my investigations. I may know the person who copied the answer and gave it to Qiao Zijin. The two daughters in the Qiao family are pretty, and Qiao Zijin is quite popular in school. As far as I know, there are several second-year boys from other classes who like Qiao Zijin but dare not pursue her because of the school rules, so they try to please Qiao Zijin secretly."

He started a relationship while he was in school and had to be issued a warning.

Qiao Zijin was not in any way better than him.

To put it bluntly, Qiao Zijin used the honey trap to get the answers from the boys. She was a miserable wretch!

Principal Wei could feel his temples pulsating. He wished to give Sun Lei a slap to make him shut up and he hoped that he could send Qiao Zijin out of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.

"What a good show." Principal Meng appeared to be very calm.

Regardless of what the truth was, it had nothing to do with Ping Cheng High School. It was The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China that was creating trouble. It was an unexpected misfortune to Qiao Nan. What happened today had nothing to do with Qiao Nan. She was plain unlucky to have Qiao Zijin as her sister.

"Principal Wei, it's getting late. The students in our school place great importance in their studies. They should be in the classroom doing their revision. What do you say?"

"Sorry, I have been imposing on you for such a long time. What happened today is The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China's sole responsibility. I apologize for stirring up so much trouble for you today. We have a lot of students in our school and there are lapses in our selection of students and there is a black sheep in every flock. Sorry about the embarrassing behavior. We will get going now."

Principal Wei had been totally disgraced. He could not wait to leave right away with his face covered. He did not wish to stay to be humiliated further.
