"She's your cousin, and you're questioning her like this? You don't believe her at all? Are you trying to push her into the fire pit? " The dean got angrier as he spoke. "Don't tell me you don't know the consequences of cheating in an exam?"
Cheating in an exam would result in immediate expulsion from the school.
Moreover, no high school in Hua City would accept students who were expelled by Qing Zhi.
It was no different from cutting off one's future.
"Zhong Zhiwan, let me tell you, the school knows very well whether Ying Zijin cheated or not." The dean slammed the table. "You have no evidence to back up your suspicions. When you raise your suspicions, you have to think about the consequences!"
The dean was furious. He did not show any mercy to Zhong Zhiwan just because she was a girl.
Zhong Zhiwan's face turned pale and her lips trembled.
As the top student in the cohort and the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, she had never been reprimanded by a teacher like this before.
It was all because of Ying Zijin again.
Ying Zijin was really something. She could even bribe the dean.
Who in their right mind would believe that someone could get full marks in the Elite Class?
Even the students from Imperial Capital University did not have this ability.
Wasn't it normal for her to question Ying Zijin?
"Zhong Zhiwan, I'll suppress your report this time." The principal's tone was still mild. "If you still want to question her, the school will punish you. You still have classes later, so you can go back first."
Zhong Zhiwan stood up suddenly. She moved so violently that she knocked over the chair.
Her eyes were red and watery. Unable to hold it in, she covered her face and ran away.
"Principal, this is too much." The dean was still angry. "I don't believe that she's the only one who thinks this way. There must be a lot of people who think that Ying Zijin cheated."
Of course, this was human nature.
A student who had failed all her exams suddenly got full marks and was the top student in the cohort. Not to mention the other students, even the principal would be suspicious.
But everything had to be based on evidence.
If there was no evidence, how could they accuse her of cheating?
"Alas." The principal shook his head. "The matter with those families is too complicated. However, I still have to tell you about it. Let me think about it."
**
Outside the academic affairs building.
Zhong Zhiwan did not return to class. Instead, he sat on the steps and wiped away his tears.
Fortunately, it was class time and there weren't many people outside.
The more Zhong Zhiwan cried, the more aggrieved he felt.
If Ying Zijin did not cheat, the overall ranking would still be calculated based on the coefficients.
Then, she would still be the first in her grade. It was impossible for her to leave such a trashy ranking of 1001 in her file.
She couldn't even bring her results home to show to Mrs. Zhong.
After the mid-term exam was the parent-teacher conference.
What would those parents think of her then?
Zhong Zhiwan was crying when a confused low voice came from above his head.
"Student Zhong?"
Zhong Zhiwan hurriedly wiped away his tears and looked up. "Mr. He."
He Xun saw that her eyes were swollen and couldn't help but be stunned. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Mr. He. I just … I just don't understand. Does Grandpa still care about me? He even gave my cousin the answers to the exam." Zhong Zhiwan's tears flowed again as she spoke. Her voice was choked with sobs. "Isn't it just an apology? Is it that difficult? Ying Zijin can't lose face, but I can? "
It was true that the exam papers were sealed, but the answers had been prepared long ago.
Old Mr. Zhong also knew about the bet on the school forum. How could he not give the answers to Ying Zijin?
He didn't think about her feelings at all.
He Xun frowned.
He also came to the principal because of Ying Zijin's exam results.
To be honest, those results were too fake.
Not to mention, when he was invigilating the Science Comprehensive Examination, he saw Ying Zijin writing casually.
Full marks?
It was quite laughable.
"Miss Zhong, you go back to class first. I'll go look for the principal." He Xun glanced at his watch. His expression was cold. "I'm fair. I'll never be late."

On the other side.
In the biology department's office.
Bai Shaoshi only had classes in the afternoon, so she didn't come in the morning.
She went back to the capital for the five days of Labor Day and didn't mark the papers, so she didn't know the ranking of the mid-term exams.
As soon as she entered the office, Bai Shaoshi saw the other teachers looking at her strangely.
She frowned and was a little unhappy. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
A biology teacher coughed and asked, "Ms. Bai, do you know the ranking of the cohort this time?"
"I haven't seen it yet. Isn't it the same as usual?" Bai Shaoshi was very perfunctory. "Our class's average score is definitely first in the cohort."
The children in her science experimental class did well for her, and she received a lot of bonuses.
"Ms. Bai, it's different this time." The biology teacher shook his head. "In terms of the average score of biology, class 19 is the first in the grade."
Bai Shaoshi stopped in her tracks and found it funny. "Which class are you talking about?"
Seeing that she didn't believe him, the biology teacher directly placed the computer in front of her. "Look, the average score of Class 19 is 80.93. The science experimental class you're in charge of only 75.98."
Bai Shaoshi's expression froze. "That's impossible!"
How could she not know what kind of people the students in Class 19 were?
Not many people listened to her when she taught in Class 19.
However, Bai Shaoshi knew that Class 19 was actually very united.
For the sake of those poor students who had to listen in class, they would definitely beg her to chase Ying Zijin out of Class 19. However, she didn't.
"Ms. Bai, it's such a pity." Another biology teacher spoke. It was hard to tell whether he was feeling regretful or gloating. "If you were still in charge of Class 19, how much bonus would you get this time?"
In order to keep a good teacher, Qing Zhi wasn't stingy at all.
If a student's ranking improved to the top 100 in the cohort, not only would the student receive a bonus, but the teacher would also receive a bonus.
If the class's average score improved by one place, the teacher would receive 50,000 yuan.
And this time, Class 19's average score in biology was first in the cohort.
Not many people participated in the exam last time, so naturally, they were in last place.
Excluding the elite class, Class 19 had improved by 18 places in an instant. If converted into a bonus, it would be 900,000 yuan.
Bai Shaoshi's face immediately turned green. She almost couldn't breathe.
The biology teachers didn't like her either. When they saw this, they didn't say anything and started to prepare their own things.

In the private hospital.
Ying Zijin held the hot tea that Fu Yunshen had brewed for her. She was deep in thought.
Her phone rang. She glanced at it and picked it up.
It was the principal on the other end. He briefly explained what had happened today.
"Mr. Ying, the teacher's solution is to post a clarification. After all, there are quite a lot of posts on the forum, and there are quite a few teachers. It will damage your reputation quite a bit."
Ying Zijin wasn't surprised. She said calmly, "No need. Let's solve it in person."
The principal was stunned. "Mr. Ying, what do you mean?"
"As they wish." Ying Zijin yawned. "I'll accept their questions in person and give them any questions."
The principal thought about it. It seemed that there was no better solution than this.
However, for those who questioned her, this was really a public execution.
The principal agreed immediately. "Okay, Mr. Ying. When will you be coming back to school?"
"The day after tomorrow."
After ending the call, Ying Zijin remembered that the top student in the cohort would receive a scholarship.
Well, that was fine.
Beside her, Fu Yunshen asked Qing Zhi for Ying Zijin's answer sheet to look at.
However, he didn't move on from the Chinese subject for a long time. His gaze moved away from the blank essay paper and landed on the girl's body.
Fu Yunshen recalled the conversation between the two of them a few days ago.
— Yaoyao, are you confident that you'll pass?
— Yes, you're confident in the language paper.
She was indeed very confident.
Not a single point off.
She didn't pass because she didn't know how to write, but because she was too lazy to write.
Ying Zijin finally noticed the look in his eyes.
His peach blossom eyes were smiling. When he looked at her, it was as if he was affectionate.
He was gentle and affectionate.
Her hand paused. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just feel that —" Fu Yunshen restrained his gaze and looked lazy. "Our little friend is really a treasure."
It was a treasure that deserved to be treasured.

At six o 'clock in the evening.
The students in the elite class were packing their bags and getting ready to go home.
However, an uninvited guest came to their classroom. It was a young man. He walked in hurriedly and was even panting. It was obvious that he was in a hurry.
Zhong Zhiwan wasn't in the mood at all. She lowered her head and didn't look at him.
"Zhiwan, that's someone from Imperial Capital University!" The girl sitting next to her was suddenly surprised. "Look at the school badge he's wearing!"
Zhong Zhiwan looked up and her heart skipped a beat.
There was a platinum badge on the upper right corner of the young man's shirt.
There wasn't a high school student who didn't recognize it.
It was the school badge of Imperial Capital University.
Imperial Capital University. Every student in Hua University dreamed of going to a prestigious university.
"Zhiwan, he must be here to look for you." The girl was very excited. "A few years ago, weren't there seniors who were selected by Imperial Capital University in their second year of high school?"
Zhong Zhiwan pursed her lips and smiled. "What are you talking about? He's not here to look for me."
"Zhiwan, don't be modest," the girl said. "If you're talking about who in the elite class is worth Imperial Capital University's personal visit, who else could it be other than you?"
Zhong Zhiwan didn't respond.
It was a silent acknowledgment.
"Zhiwan, let's go over." The girl didn't allow her to explain and pulled her towards the door.
Zhong Zhiwan stood in front of the young man and was very nervous. "Hello, I'm Zhong Zhiwan. May I know why you're looking for me?"
The young man didn't look at her. Instead, he looked at the classroom and said, "Excuse me, is Ying Zijin here?"
