He did not have time to phone the police.
The baby-faced boy spoke up. “You don’t have to report it to the police. Someone has uploaded all of Gu Mang’s test results. Everyone is going crazy about it and saying that she cheated.”
Hearing that, Yi Chen logged into his Weibo. There was a big commotion about Gu Mang and the title of the trending topic was ‘National Exams Scholar Suspected of Cheating’.
The Ministry of Education made a post implying that they would investigate the matter. If she was found to have cheated, they would not let the matter rest. The police in Ming City had already brought people on to do an investigation into Ming City High School and Gu Mang.
...
Ming City High School, Class One.
Gu Yin looked at all the unread messages on her phone. They were all questions from the Lei family asking about what had exactly happened and how Gu Mang could have gotten first in the whole nation. The corner of her lips curled up. First in the whole nation? Soon Gu Mang would be exposed and her bad reputation would be spread all over. She would be barred from taking any other exams for life.
Jianghuai said, “The media has already posted all of Gu Mang’s test scores and the investigation team is coming to our school right away. The police, too.”
Gu Yin bit her lip. “Jianghuai, would this be bad? Perhaps Sis really got the score legitimately.”
Jianghuai scoffed and scanned the students around him. “Does anyone here believe that Gu Mang scored first in the nation?”
“Top from the bottom, yes. But first?” Someone laughed. “Did she go overboard at cheating?”
Everyone in class laughed.
Gu Yin’s phone rang again. It was a message from Lei Xiao. “Gu Mang caused trouble this time. Maybe she hadn’t even thought about getting a perfect score from cheating. This is a criminal offence and I can’t help her. Before the police arrive, persuade her to go to the school to confess her mistake and ask them to invalidate her grades. It’s best to deal with it lightly.”
The smile in Gu Yin’s eyes subsided and she replied, “Got it, Uncle.”
Then, she put her phone away and took out her math practice book to do her assignment. She had lived with Gu Mang for over ten years. She often skipped class and also often went missing for days at a time. She never studied diligently so how could she get such a god exam score?
Gu Mang was finished this time. Cheating on an exam like this could result in up to seven years of imprisonment.
...
Ming City, a clubhouse in the suburbs.
Lu Yi and Lu San stood before the office desk respectfully and reported the happenings of Red Scorpion to Lu Chengzhou.
“Damn!” Qin Fang yelled suddenly.
He Yidu, who was gaming on his phone, was so shocked that he messed up in the game and his character died.
He kicked Qin Fang. “Can you not make such a big fuss! Who are you trying to scare to death!”
Qin Fang did not even care about what he said. He ran to Lu Chengzhou. “Brother Cheng! Do you know who scored the top score on the national joint exam?!”
Hearing that, He Yidu looked up at Qin Yaozhi and tutted. “What are you so anxious about over a high school examination? Was the top student Qin Yaozhi?”
Qin Fang glared at him. Qin Yaozhi’s results had long been out. Although she was not the top student, the Qin family was rather satisfied.
He Yidu put his leg on the coffee table casually. “What are you glaring at me for? If it’s not Qin Yaozhi then why do you care?”
Qin Fang did not want to talk to him. He turned to Lu Chengzhou. “Brother Cheng, do you want to make a guess on who the top scorer is? A perfect score, no less!”
Lu Chengzhou signed his documents expressionlessly and did not even look up. Lu Y? and Lu San felt that Qin Fang was asking to be ignored. After all, other than Ms. Gu, no one was of interest to Lu Chengzhou.
With her grades... There was no way it could be Gu Mang, right? What did the top scorer have to do with them, anyway?
Qin Fang couldn’t hold it in any longer. He put the phone under Lu Chengzhou’s face. “It’s sister-in-law, Brother Cheng! Perfect score on the national joint exam, Ming City High School, Gu Mang!”
Hearing that, Lu Y? and Lu San were stunned. What did Master Qin say?!
Perfect Score?
Ms. Gu?!
