"Sir."
Yue Heng knocked on the open door of the ninth-grade office and asked, "Ms. Wang, are you looking for me?"
Ms. Wang, who was marking homework, looked up and said with a smile, "Come in."
She handed the report card to Yue Heng and said, "You did well in the mock exam and improved a lot. Have you thought about which high school you want to apply to?"
Three days ago, the third-year students of Taijiang High School finished the last mock exam of the semester.
The report card was supposed to be distributed at the same time, but Ms. Wang called Yue Heng over.
As a transfer student, the teacher didn't pay much attention to Yue Heng.
She even thought it was troublesome.
She didn't expect Yue Heng's grades to improve by leaps and bounds in just two to three months.
Ms. Wang's impression of him changed completely.
Not to mention, Yue Heng was also very handsome. In the current world, looks were still very important.
Yue Heng glanced at his report card.
A total of 631 points, ranked 10th in the class, 67th in the grade!
Compared to the mid-term exam, the improvement was not ordinary.
"Taijiang No.1."
He answered without hesitation.
"Yes."
Ms. Wang smiled and said, "With your grades, as long as you can stabilize the mid-term exam, Taijiang No.1 shouldn't be a problem."
The mock exam this time was difficult and many students who usually performed well failed.
Yue Heng's ranking jumped the most.
She was still a little regretful and said, "It's a pity that you transferred too late. Otherwise, you would have a chance to be approved in advance."
Being approved in advance meant that you were guaranteed admission, but you had to combine the three years' average grades and the four subjects' scores.
The requirements were high and there weren't many places.
Yue Heng, who had just transferred in at the beginning of the year, naturally didn't have the qualifications.
But Yue Heng didn't care.
He wanted to pass the upcoming high school entrance exam to prove his hard work during this period of time!
"Ms. Wang …"
At this moment, a girl rushed in and said, "Huang Yunkai said he couldn't find his watch!"
This girl was the class monitor of Yue Heng's class.
"Ah?"
Teacher Wang was stunned. "What's going on?"
The class leader said anxiously, "I don't know, he just said he didn't want to see me."
Teacher Wang made a prompt decision. "I'll go and take a look."
The atmosphere in Class 9 (5) was quite tense. A few boys were gathered together.
The girls whispered to each other.
Seeing the head teacher appear, a boy immediately shouted, "Teacher Wang!"
Mr. Wang walked over and said, "Huang Yunkai, tell me what happened."
The boy replied angrily, "Teacher, I put my watch in the drawer when I went to the cafeteria for lunch. I couldn't find it just now. My dad just brought this watch back from Hong Kong."
Teacher Wang knew that Huang Yunkai's family background was not bad, so his watch must be worth a lot.
She looked around. "Has anyone seen Huang Yunkai's watch?"
The boy hurriedly added, "My watch is from Citizen. It's silver and very new."
The students looked at each other, but no one answered.
"No one saw it?"
Teacher Wang frowned. "If that's the case, then I can only …"
"Teacher."
Suddenly, someone said, "I saw it."
Everyone's gaze was uniformly focused on a skinny boy!
Teacher Wang was shocked. "Wu Haowen, where did you see it?"
The thin boy pursed his lips and pointed at Yue Heng who was standing behind Teacher Wang. "Teacher Wang, when I came back from lunch, I saw Yue Heng take Huang Yunkai's watch and put it in his drawer."
The whole classroom was in an uproar.
No one thought that it was Yue Heng who took Huang Yunkai's watch.
Is this taking?
This is stealing!
The girls looked at Yue Heng with a strange look. They felt like their idol had been destroyed.
Some of the boys despised him, while others gloated.
Zhang Jianyong who sat in front of Yue Heng said, "Wu Haowen, did you see wrong?"
He did not believe that Yue Heng would steal someone else's watch.
Huang Yunkai was irritated. "Whether it's true or not, we'll know when we see Yue Heng's drawer."
The students' attention returned to Yue Heng.
Yue Heng raised his eyebrows.
Under everyone's gaze, he went to his desk and opened the drawer.
A silver-gray watch was squeezed between the books.
When the students saw it, they could not help but exclaim.
It was really Yue Heng!
Huang Yunkai squeezed over and took a look. He immediately shouted, "It's this watch. It's mine!"
Impatiently, he reached out his hand to retrieve his watch.
Before he could touch it, Yue Heng held it firmly.
Huang Yunkai was furious. "You!"
Yue Heng ignored him and said to the class teacher, "Teacher Wang, let's call the police."
Call the police?!
Everyone was shocked.
Many people could not understand why Yue Heng wanted to call the police.
Was he not afraid of being arrested?
Teacher Wang's expression was subtle. There was a hint of relief, anger, and heartache.
Huang Yunkai shouted, "Call the police, call the police. Even if you don't call the police, I will!"
He had long disliked Yue Heng.
This time, he finally had something to use against Yue Heng.
Yue Heng pushed Huang Yunkai away and pointed to the watch in the drawer. "If I stole it, my fingerprints will be on it. So, this watch is evidence now. No one can touch it."
He looked at Wu Haowen. "If someone else framed me, then his fingerprints will be on it."
It would be strange if Yue Heng fell for such a clumsy framing method.
He even guessed who was the mastermind behind this farce.
But then again, if it were someone else of the same age, they would have been at a loss.
There were both witnesses and evidence. Perhaps the schemer had succeeded.
Yue Heng was not afraid, but he was disgusted.
So, whether it was the mastermind or the perpetrator, he did not want to let them go.
Wu Haowen's face instantly became pale.
When Teacher Wang saw this, how could he not understand what was going on?
She asked seriously, "Wu Haowen, you have to know that there are surveillance cameras in our classroom."
"Now tell me the truth. Did you see Yue Heng steal Huang Yunkai's watch?"
Wu Haowen's forehead was sweating. He lowered his head and did not speak.
Teacher Wang was very disappointed. "Then I can only go to the security room to watch the video."
As soon as the voice fell, Wu Haowen's will collapsed.
He burst into tears. "Teacher Wang, I was wrong. I was the one who took the watch. I was the one who put the watch in Yue Heng's drawer! Don't call the police. Don't tell my parents … "
In the classroom, Wu Haowen's cry of shame echoed.
It sounded very miserable.
Yue Heng's heart did not waver.
A pitiful person must have a hateful side. No matter what the reason was, his despicable behavior was not worthy of forgiveness.
