49 The Eve of the Storm
Hu Jing glanced at them indifferently and suddenly asked, “Where’s Geng Hui?”
“Teacher Hu,” Song Zhi reminded her softly in her ear, “Teacher Geng hasn’t shown his face yet. Everyone in their class is not around. Could Geng Hui have helped Shi Man cheat? Otherwise, how could she have successfully cheated with her stupidity?”
Hu Jing’s expression darkened. She knew that she had mocked Geng Hui a lot over the years, but if he really hated her and helped Shi Man do such a thing, then he should not blame her for chasing Geng Hui and Shi Man out of school!
“Go to their class and call Geng Hui and Shi Man to Director Zou’s office.”
“Okay.” Song Zhi nodded solemnly and agreed. Her clenched fists trembled slightly from excitement. It was finally time for revenge. She wanted Shi Man to never be able to raise her head!
In Class F’s classroom, Geng Hui stood on the podium enthusiastically and praised Shi Man’s improvement this time. He did not know that the outside world had completely fallen out.
Fang Han waited for a long time and finally received a message from Song Zhi. She immediately raised her hand and said, “Teacher, I have something to say!”
Geng Hui adjusted his glasses and asked, “What do you want to say? Stand up and say it.”
“Teacher.” Fang Han pointed at Shi Man’s back in the front row arrogantly. “You shouldn’t have praised Shi Man just now. She clearly cheated in this exam to get fourth place in the cohort!”
“Fang Han! You can’t spout nonsense!” Geng Hui still had a good impression of Shi Man. After all, ever since she came to the class, the class had become much better, allowing him to experience the joy and pride of being a teacher.
He subconsciously defended Shi Man and waved his hand for Fang Han to sit down. He said earnestly, “Students, you have to accept other people’s progress humbly and urge yourself to continue working hard instead of criticizing your classmates without evidence.”
Fang Han sat down indignantly and glared at Shi Man hatefully. “She cheated! Mr. Geng, if you don’t believe me, just wait and see!”
Su Tang turned to look at the expressionless Shi Man worriedly. “I believe you didn’t cheat, but I think Fang Han has a backup plan. You have to make plans early.”
“Yes.” Shi Man nodded lightly.
She had always had such a cold personality. Su Tang pursed her lips indifferently, and her docile heart could not help but feel a trace of anger and guilt.
If not for her, Shi Man would not have offended them. Moreover, the reason why she believed that Shi Man did not cheat was not because of her blind confidence in her benefactor, but because she had really seen Shi Man’s ability.
With her capability, it was easy for her to finish reading all the subjects in a day, but this did not seem to prove that she had not cheated. Su Tang could not help but feel anxious for her.
After a while, Song Zhi knocked on the class door. After greeting Geng Hui, she looked at Shi Man with a smug expression. “Come out. Director Zou wants you to go to the office with Mr. Geng.”
Fang Han leaned back in her chair and looked like she was watching a good show. She crossed her arms and waited for Shi Man to make a fool of herself.
Geng Hui knew that this trip would probably be disadvantageous to Shi Man and hurriedly asked, “Did Director Zou say why?”
Song Zhi raised her head proudly and looked at Shi Man disdainfully. She said calmly, “Shi Man cheated in the exam, so Director Zou wants to look for her!”
As soon as she said this, there was an uproar in the classroom. The students started whispering.
They had actually known about this long ago. After all, the commotion at the school gate was not small, but because of Shi Man’s ruthlessness, they did not dare to say anything in front of her. At this moment, when they heard Song Zhi say with absolute certainty that Shi Man had cheated, the students immediately felt the pleasure of having their enemy destroyed!
Actually, they had been enduring Shi Man for a long time! Ever since Shi Man joined the class, it had been too boring. They did not even dare to say a few words and could only pass notes humbly.
However, now that Shi Man had been caught cheating by the dean, she might be chased out of Cassel Academy soon. At that time, they could do whatever they wanted in class again!
The students rubbed their fists and waited for the teacher to announce Shi Man’s sentence. They wished they could fly to the director’s office and witness her being chased away!
Shi Man listened to the discussions of the surrounding people. She still stood up expressionlessly and gestured for Su Tang to make way.
Song Zhi deliberately blocked her body at the classroom door to embarrass her. Unexpectedly, Shi Man did not even look at her and knocked her shoulder away as she walked out of the classroom.
Song Zhi failed to harm anyone and was almost knocked down by her. She was humiliated in front of others and immediately gritted her teeth in hatred.
At the entrance of the school building, Shi Jing looked smugly at Song Zhi’s back view, wishing she could fly to the entrance of Class F. She felt that she was really too smart.
However, before she could be satisfied, Hu Jing rolled her eyes at her in disgust and said coldly, “Follow me to Director Zou’s office.”
