There were no unnecessary actions in the surveillance footage that could be used against Mei Shu.
Mei Mu, however, was not giving up. She immediately requested the grade director to play the surveillance video of the next exam.
After all, the first exam was just a simple Chinese test, and there was no need to cheat. But the next exam was the challenging mathematics test, and Mei Mu couldn’t believe that Mei Shu could answer those difficult questions!
Even she had been unable to solve one of the small problems in the final question. How could Mei Shu possibly do it on her own?
Mei Mu now suspected that Mei Shu either knew the questions in advance or used some special method to cheat!
The grade director, obliging her request, played the next segment of the surveillance video with an emotionless expression.
However, to Mei Mu’s surprise, Mei Shu’s speed in answering the questions in this exam was even faster than the Chinese exam!
After completing the entire test paper, Mei Shu simply rested her head on her desk and continued sleeping, while Mei Mu herself had only reached the second half of her paper by that time.
At this point, the entire class was shocked.
Especially the class monitor, Chen Hao, who had consistently ranked first in mathematics, was taken aback.
He had never imagined that someone could answer math questions so effortlessly!
Was Mei Shu even human?
This exam not only required students to have a strong foundation in their knowledge but also tested their ability to think critically, adapt to different situations, and check for details.
Any minor oversight during problem interpretation or solving could result in a lower score, even if the final answer was correct.
The difference between success and failure was a hair’s breadth.
When Chen Hao took math exams, he was always cautious, never letting his guard down. After completing all the questions, he would still review them multiple times to ensure there were no mistakes. He had never experienced a situation where he could sleep through an entire class period.
The students were astonished as they watched the video.
They knew Mei Shu had done well in the exam, but they had no idea she had achieved such an outstanding result. Their admiration for her grew.
At this point, there was no need to continue watching the surveillance.
Mei Shu’s abilities were clearly her own, and there was no possibility of cheating.
The grade director cast a playful glance at Mei Mu. “Mei Mu, do you have anything else to say? Do you want to continue watching the surveillance footage?”
Mei Mu stood there, unable to speak, trembling like a sieve.
“I think there’s no need for that,” the grade director said, raising his hand to signal the class monitor to shut down the computer. He then walked over to Mei Mu. “Do you remember your agreement with the principal?”
“I, I do,” A’lei Mu replied, her face turning pale, her hands and feet cold.
The grade director nodded. “As long as you remember. Now, come with me to the principal’s office.”
After saying that, the grade director turned and walked away.
All eyes were now on Mei Mu, with some classmates sneering and others looking smug.
“Wait!” Mei Mu desperately took a few steps to catch up with the grade director, who was about to leave the room. “I suspect someone provided Mei Shu with the exam questions in advance! How else could she have answered so quickly? She must have memorized the questions in advance!”
“Don’t make a scene like this!” Even the grade director, who had been patient until now, was annoyed by her behavior and turned back to reprimand her. “You’ve wasted a whole class period for your classmates because of this. What more do you want? You’re about to be expelled. You won’t be participating in this year’s college entrance examination. You might not care about this bit of time, but it’s precious for your classmates. How can you be so selfish?”
“What? Mei Mu is about to be expelled? No wonder she caused all this trouble. She just didn’t want us to study properly!”
The grade director’s words suddenly made the students in the class realize what was happening, and they looked at Mei Mu with mocking glances.
Mei Mu desperately shook her head, trying to explain herself. “I didn’t mean it that way, Director. You can’t just expel me! I have excellent grades, and 1 have to stay and take the college entrance exam! I haven’t done anything wrong. Why do you have the authority to expel me?”
The grade director frowned disapprovingly as she raised her voice in front of him. “We had an agreement about this matter before. If you can’t achieve a top-ten ranking in your grade to prove your ability, the school won’t allow you to continue participating in the college entrance examination. This is your punishment.”
As he spoke, Mei Mu’s body began to sway, and she was on the verge of losing her balance and falling to the ground.
The grade director, feeling a bit sorry for her in light of the substantial sum of money involved, softened his tone. “However, considering that you’re still a minor, the school will give you another chance. You can return next year to repeat your senior year and participate in the college entrance exam. Please don’t cause any more trouble!”
As the murmurs of the others echoed in Mei Mu’s ears, she suddenly felt dizzy and on the verge of collapsing.
She saw this as an opportunity to pretend to faint and escape this embarrassing situation. However, just as she was about to do so, a group of police officers entered the room.
The captain, leading the group, looked at the classroom seriously and asked, “Who is Mei Mu?”
“She’s the one!” Li Hua, delighted beyond measure, pointed at Mei Mu and showed her to the police officers..
