Chapter translated by: Ironize97
Coax!
There was an instant commotion in the classroom.
"Does Zhang Ruomin really have any basis for Ye Chen to cheat?"
"It's still related to Teacher Wu? My God! How is it possible?"
"Who knows! Didn't you realize that from the beginning just now, Teacher Wu had some intentions to protect Ye Chen?"
"Huh? Thinking about it carefully, it really is like this! Just now when Mr. Wu said that Ye Chen got the first place in the exam, he seemed very excited and excited!"
The students immediately started talking about it.
Luo Rongfa looked at Zhang Ruomin with great excitement. He never thought that his girlfriend was so capable!
Xie Zhiruo and Zhao Mengya were at a loss. They looked at Zhang Ruomin, then at Wu Jiawei, and then at Ye Chen.
Wu Jiawei looked at Zhang Ruomin inexplicably, not knowing how she got involved.
Even Ye Chen himself didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Ruomin's gourd!
"What's going on? Why are you so noisy during class time?"
Everyone looked up, and it turned out that Principal Zhao appeared at the door of the classroom!
There are two principals in Bowen No. 1 Middle School, one principal and one deputy.
The vice-principal was the vice-principal Wang who was so frightened by Liu Ruoxi that he almost chewed up the "Expulsion Notice" before.
And now the one who appeared at the door of the classroom was the principal, Principal Zhao.
Unlike the snobbish Vice Principal Wang, Principal Zhao is an extremely strict old pedant.
"Principal Zhao, Ye Chen cheated in this monthly exam, and even implicated Mr. Wu, the school should strictly enforce the school rules and discipline, and punish Ye Chen accordingly!"
Just as Wu Jiawei wanted to explain to Principal Zhao, Luo Rongfa spoke first.
"What? Cheating? Involving the teacher?"
When Principal Zhao heard this, he immediately flew into a rage!
He also knew something about Ye Chen's situation in Class 2 of Senior Three. He had sympathized with Ye Chen at first, but now, this Ye Chen actually cheated? And it also involved the teacher!
School rules and discipline are not just for fun!
"Principal Zhao, listen to me..."
Wu Jiawei spoke hastily, wanting to argue.
"Principal Zhao, you have to uphold justice for Class 2 of the third grade! Ye Chen, the bottom one in the whole grade, actually used such a despicable means of cheating to become the first in the grade! If this is all right, we honest Students studying, wouldn't everyone be chilled?"
Zhang Ruomin stood up and looked at Principal Zhao with a pitiful look.
"Zhang Ruomin, you!"
Wu Jiawei's face turned pale with anger, she didn't expect Zhang Ruomin to be such a person!
On the other hand, Principal Zhao walked up to the podium, glared at Wu Jiawei sternly, then turned to Zhang Ruomin, and said very seriously: "Student, what basis do you have, you might as well tell it. If what you tell is the truth, I will definitely Justice!"
"My basis is that on the night before the monthly exam, it was so late at 9 o'clock in the evening, Teacher Wu made a phone call and asked Ye Chen to go to her house at night! This incident was caused by many students in the class at that time. The students all know it!"
Zhang Ruomin said with confidence.
"Ah? How do you know?"
Wu Jiawei was taken aback for a moment, and said involuntarily.
What she meant was just strange, she called Ye Chen to go to her home to make up lessons that night, how could other people know, but the words heard in other people's ears, but it was not the case.
"Hmph, if you don't want people to know, you have to do nothing! When Ye Chen answered the phone, many of our classmates heard it!"
Zhang Ruomin said proudly.
"That's right! Why don't you go early, why don't you go late, and you have to go the night before the monthly exam! It's clearly Teacher Wu who leaked the exam answers to Ye Chen!"
Luo Rongfa immediately understood what Zhang Ruomin meant, and immediately stood up and echoed loudly.
"That's right, speaking of it this way, it's really the case! Ye Chen doesn't go sooner or later, but he just goes the day before the monthly exam!"
"The strange thing is that after I went there that night, the second day's exam, Ye Chen, the trash who was the last one in each exam, suddenly gave a full score in only 45 minutes as if by divine help. Exam paper! If there is no cheating, it is really not justified!"
"That's right, if it's about making up lessons, it's too late, what else can I make up for?"
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Wu has just entered the school as a teacher. Could it be that he wants to get results quickly, so he made such a bad move?"
The students in the classroom immediately whispered to each other and looked at Wu Jiawei suspiciously.
"Moreover, on the morning of the monthly exam, I saw with my own eyes the school where Mr. Wu and Ye Chen came together! I have reason to suspect that the two of them simply memorized the answers that night!"
Zhang Ruomin released the last sentence lore!
"I...it's not like this, Principal Zhao, listen to my explanation!"
Wu Jiawei said anxiously.
"Did you ask Ye Chen to come to your house the night before the monthly exam?"
Principal Zhao waved his hand and asked Wu Jiawei directly.
"Yes!"
Wu Jiawei nodded.
"What did you do that night?"
Principal Zhao frowned and said again.
"I..."
Wu Jiawei suddenly remembered what happened that night, but those things about the treatment were related to her privacy, and secondly, the process of treatment was so difficult to talk about, how could she tell others?
Seeing that Wu Jiawei didn't speak, Principal Zhao shook his head sadly, "Teacher Wu, I understand that you just came to school, and you must want to get results as soon as possible, and you want to help Ye Chen do well in his studies..."
Hearing this, Wu Jiawei nodded involuntarily. She really wanted to make grades as soon as possible, and the best way to make grades as soon as possible is to help Ye Chen, a typical student, study well. Otherwise, she wouldn't repeat it over and over again. Ask Ye Chen to go to her to add extra lessons at night.
Seeing Wu Jiawei nodding, Principal Zhao misunderstood even more, and said sternly: "Your idea is good, but the way you do it is absolutely wrong! If you do this, if you say it nicely, it's called quick success, and if you say it badly, it's called deceit!"
"Ah?"
Wu Jiawei suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly waved her hands and said, "That's not the case, it's really not the case, Principal Zhao, listen to my explanation!"
"Mr. Wu, when your father arranged you to be a teacher in our school, he entrusted you to me. Now you are doing such a thing. It really hurts me!"
Principal Zhao had a sad expression on his face.
"Principal Zhao, I..."
Wu Jiawei wanted to cry immediately, but she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
"I didn't expect Tangtang Bowen to be a general, and he turned out to be a person who listens and believes, and has no discernment ability! It's really disappointing!"
Suddenly, a faint voice came from the corner of the classroom.
The voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear, as if it had a strong penetrating power, and it rang directly in everyone's ears!
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Ye Chen who spoke!
"Ye Chen, you are so brave, you dare to talk to Principal Zhao in such an impolite manner!"
Luo Rongfa immediately shouted loudly.
"A cheating student dares to insult the principal openly! He simply doesn't pay attention to school rules and discipline!"
Zhang Ruomin also snorted coldly.
"A self-righteous fool!"
Ye Chen glanced at Luo Rongfa, left his seat, and walked straight to the podium.
"You!"
Ye Chen's body seemed to exude some kind of compelling aura, and Luo Rongfa was speechless for a moment.
"A woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions!"
Passing by Zhang Ruomin's seat, Ye Chen said something lightly.
"You!"
Zhang Ruomin's face turned pale.
"There are still a group of students who have no brains!"
Ye Chen glanced at the whole class and stood on the podium.
"What? How dare you say that about us?"
"Ye Chen, you're probably out of your mind!"
The students under the podium retorted one after another.
"And a headmaster who doesn't know right from wrong!"
Ye Chen turned around, faced Principal Zhao, and looked directly into his eyes.
"You you..."
Principal Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Chen, opened his mouth a few times, but couldn't speak. Obviously, he was extremely angry, and his body was shaking for a while.
"Ye Chen! How can you talk to Principal Zhao like that!"
Wu Jiawei hurried forward and held Principal Zhao's arm.
"Good, good, good!"
Principal Zhao managed to catch his breath, and said three good words in succession, "I, Zhao, have been the principal of this Bowen No. 1 Middle School for almost 30 years, and this is the first time someone says I don't know right from wrong! Ye Chen, right? I'm here to hear from you today, how can I, Mr. Zhao, not know whether it's illegal or not!"
"It's very simple. You have been accusing me of cheating from the beginning to the end, but there is no real evidence. What Zhang Ruomin just said is just an inference! As the saying goes, 'Catch the thief, catch the stolen goods, catch the adulterer and catch the double'! Apart from groundless conjectures, is there any evidence that can be obtained?"
Ye Chen said coldly.
"This..."
Principal Zhao suddenly became dumb.
"Ye Chen, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Wu Jiawei couldn't help but blush when she heard what Ye Chen said just now, "Catch thieves and seize stolen goods, catch adulterer and catch double".
"Then what evidence do you have to prove your innocence?"
Zhang Ruomin stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Chen, and said relentlessly.
"I don't need proof..."
Ye Chen said lightly.
"Haha! Good one doesn't need proof! Then can we also say that you don't need proof at all about your cheating?" Zhang Ruomin sneered.
"If you have to prove it... then from now on, let Bowen No. 1 Middle School's report card not say that it is the first place!" Ye Chen said lightly.
"There is no such thing as number one? What does he mean?"
Everyone wondered.
"It means... from now on, you can only compete for the second place in all the exams." Ye Chen said lightly.
After finishing speaking, Ye Chen turned his head and said to Principal Zhao: "From today onwards, I will take the first place in all the exams. This should prove Mr. Wu's innocence, right?"
"Hmph, don't brag about it. Next week is the city's 18th school joint exam. If you are capable, you will be the first in the city by then?"
Luo Rongfa said loudly immediately.
"As long as you can take the first place in the city's eighteen schools, we will admit that you did not cheat in this exam!"
Zhang Ruomin also said proudly.
"If you can get a good result in the 18th school joint examination in the city next week, you will naturally prove yourself and Mr. Wu's innocence."
Principal Zhao also nodded slowly.
"What's so difficult about it?"
Ye Chen gave a faint sound.
