“Yes, in that case, go and check the surveillance cameras in the examination hall immediately. Prove Shan Yue’s innocence!” Chief Song waved his hand, and two police officers went to the reference room to check the surveillance cameras.
After a while, the two police officers had indeed come in with a computer. Shan Yue was still calm, as if she did not care that her cheating was discovered. Ms. Li hesitated for a moment, but she still muttered softly, “A poor student like her can only numb herself by cheating. How shameless…”
However, as the two police officers gradually mobilized the time record of the surveillance cameras and released all the recordings of Shan Yue’s exam yesterday, Ms. Li was stunned. “No, that’s impossible. Those papers were all full marks. It’s impossible for Shan Yue to have done them!” Ms. Li was in disbelief. She covered her mouth and widened her eyes.
The surveillance footage clearly showed that ever since Shan Yue entered the examination hall and received the paper, she had been answering the questions dutifully. After quickly finishing the paper, she seriously checked the paper again before getting up to hand in the paper and leaving.
Throughout the entire exam, Shan Yue did not cheat at all, which was enough to prove her innocence.
“Take a good look! Student Shan Yue is so serious about the exam. Is this how you slander and hurt a good child who studies hard?” As soon as Han Lin finished watching the surveillance footage, he turned to the principal and said angrily, “This is the critical period of the third year of high school. Instead of paying attention to the physical and mental health of good students, you’re slandering students who study hard. This is your negligence!”
“Mayor Han, y-you have to listen to my explanation!” When the principal saw Han Lin’s dark expression, he was so frightened that he immediately put on a fawning expression. He nodded and bowed to please him, handing him cigarettes and tea.
After all, as long as Han Lin was unhappy, he could be immediately dismissed. Then all his years of hard work in school would be in vain.
When Shan Yue saw this scene, she immediately lost interest in continuing to watch. After shaking her head gently, she prepared to leave.
When she reached the door, Shan Yue did not forget to remind Xi Feng, “Xi Feng, you must remember to help me go through all the prosecution processes. The more losses they can suffer, the better. I emphasize that I won’t accept any settlement. Also, I’ll transfer the lawyer fees to your private account later.”
“Don’t worry, I will settle it for you. There’s no need for lawyer fees. After all, you’re Ye Ying’s friend.” When he heard that Shan Yue still knew his private account number, Xi Feng looked up in surprise. After carefully sizing Shan Yue up, he quickly stopped Shan Yue, who was walking out. “Wait, I’m almost done here. Just leave the rest to my assistant. Let’s go together later.”
Shan Yue sensed Xi Feng’s meaningful gaze and knew that he definitely had something to say to her alone. She nodded and stopped by the door, waiting for him quietly.
In the office, Han Lin and Chief Song of the police station were still negotiating with the principal and the others. Xi Feng glanced at them briefly before striding out and walking side by side with Shan Yue. “Is it convenient for you to tell me your true identity? I keep feeling that you’re very familiar. I seem to have seen you somewhere before, right?”
When Shan Yue heard this, she knew that Xi Feng was curious about her identity. However, for safety reasons, she was not prepared to tell anyone other than Ye Ying that she had been reborn. At this moment, the time was not ripe, so she only shook her head. “It’s not convenient.”
“Then you’re definitely not an ordinary high school student, right? You actually called the mayor of S City to help you clean up the aftermath. Your identity is not simple.” Xi Feng smiled. Seeing that Shan Yue was unwilling to say it, he pretended to tease her.
It seemed like an unintentional joke, but in fact, Xi Feng was deliberately getting Shan Yue’s information in an attempt to extract useful clues from her answer. This was a small trick he had always used when chatting with others.
However, Shan Yue did not react to this. Instead, she answered honestly, “I don’t know him.”
“Alright, then how long have you known Ye Ying? This is the first time his friends have come to me.”
“It’s been a long time. I can’t remember.” Shan Yue walked calmly in the direction of the school building and ignored any topic Xi Feng threw at her.
“I’ve known him for a long time too. I don’t think I’ve heard of you, but I think you look like an acquaintance of mine.” Xi Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked behind the flower bed not far away. “Is that your classmate?”
