The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 93 - A Second Test

Chapter 93 - A Second Test

"Interesting." Mo Li suddenly spoke up. She looked at Qi Yu and Fang Xun, the two men looked like flies had flown into their mouths. She dropped an ultimatum, "We will see each other in court then."
The reporters and board members were stunned. But it was quickly followed by another surprise. One of the reporters gasped, "Guys, quickly go online!"
The news of Qi Yu's personal misuse of his power as a committee member had just been released online. It soon gained a lot of traction. Everyone was shocked by the man's blatant shamelessness.
"So he has been using his official position for personal gain! If Miss Mo Li had been successfully framed, then his own nephew would take her spot at the finals!"
"Thankfully, the boss of this hotel where they had their secret meeting has the decency to be the whistleblower or else Miss Mo Li's name will forever be ruined by these horrible people!"
"I said from the beginning things are not that simple, you people refused to believe me!"
Qi Yu's face was white, his secret had been fully exposed... Fang Xun also didn't expect things to turn out like this. For a moment, he was too flustered to know what to do.
The Mo Family was already not a simple target to take on, but now they had the support of the Quan Family from the capital!
If Mo Li really wanted to bring the IMO organizers to court, the latter had a low chance of winning.
Fang Xun knew that it was pointless to hang onto Qi Yu now. He distanced himself away from Qi Yu and told Mo Li, "Actually, there is one more solution to prove that you didn't cheat during the exam!" He didn't bring this up before to deliberately make life more difficult for Mo Li. "In our exam, we normally prepare two sets of papers. This is to prevent the contingency should the questions leak. If you really are as good as you said, then you should be able to answer the spare paper as easily as you did the real paper."
Mo Li turned around to look at Fang Xun, "So?"
"So we can have the test now with all the teachers as witnesses. If you can answer the spare test within the limited time, without using any draft, then I will request the committee to rescind the investigation on you, and you can participate in the finals."
Mo Li leveled an icy gaze at Fang Xun. Before she said anything, Mo Yi jumped in, "My daughter doesn't need to prove herself. This has been a serious injury to the Mo Family's name, we will see you in court. We have not forgotten the slander you two weasels has done to our family name!"
Hearing this, the old crone hurried over to dissuade Mo Yi. "Director Mo, if we bring this to court, it won't be resolved in a day or two. The finals is already coming. I really think we shouldn't make this issue bigger than it already is. Think of Mo Li!"
Mo Yi turned to Mo Li. Mo Yi worried about his daughter but ultimately, he left the decision in her hands.
Mo Li also understood if they decided to go through the legal route, it would drag on and on. While she was thinking, she suddenly heard Quan Yu say, "No matter your decision, I will support you."
"Daddy too!" Mo Yi quickly added. He needed to stop this rascal from getting too close to his daughter!
Mo Li thought about it. If I did win the court case, will these people stop questioning my ability? No, they will find other ways to disprove my capability. For example, Ding Yi pulled in his family favors to stick this cheating allegation on me. What does this mean?
This means that none of these people really believe me and have suspicion about my ability. Only by showing them what I can really do that these people will stop harassing me.
In the hopes of a more peaceful future, Mo Li turned to Fang Xun, "I accept, but if I succeed to answer all the questions, I demand an open apology from both of you."
Fang Xun shared a look with Qi Yu. He believed that with Mo Li's past results, she would never complete the spare paper.
To help Mo Li focus, the boardroom was cleared. Qi Yu and Fang Xu stayed to be her invigilators. A reporter stayed to live broadcast Mo Li's test. 4 more teachers stayed in the room to observe. The test had attracted the attention of many students. Most of them were supposed to be in class but they came over to watch Mo Li. They were concerned about this matter!
Ding Yi had become a laughing stock since the online expose. Now his only hope of turning things around was for Mo Li to fail the exam, then it would be proven that he was not mistaken.
Qiao Qing was staring at Mo Li in the boardroom, she was so nervous she could faint.
Quan Yu stood at the window and focused on Mo Li, hoping to use this way to support her.
Mo Li rejected the draft paper given by Qi Yu. The latter scoffed as he used a letter knife to open the sealed envelope. He took out the spare paper and told Mo Li with a sneering smile, "You're too young to be so unreasonably cocky."
When Mo Li had her hands on the spare paper, she was rather speechless. She thought the questions would be much harder but she could already answer the whole test with a simple glance.
The old crone was afraid that the crowd outside the boardroom would disturb Mo Li so she chased them off. However, Mo Yi and Quan Yu refused to budge.
Mo Li hoped that this could finally put everyone's suspicion to rest. She was tired to deal with the troubles people kept throwing her way. She just wanted to live a quiet life.
Hoping to use the crowd to amplify the pressure on Mo Li, Qi Yu told the old crone. "Let them stay, I'm sure with Miss Mo Li's ability, she won't be affected."
And thus more and more people gathered outside the boardroom to see how Mo Li would handle this test paper.
