Chapter 275: Proving Her Innocence
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was no evidence to prove her innocence, but because the answers in the two papers were too similar, it was enough to make people suspect that the two of them had cheated.
The results were about to be released. The school would never tolerate students with doubtful results getting a scholarship. If they continued to be in a deadlock, she would only implicate Shi Man.
Su Tang clenched her fists tightly and suddenly made up her mind. Although her voice was trembling, it was very calm. “It’s me…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by Shi Man’s words. “I can find evidence.”
She looked up at Shi Man in disbelief and saw that she was giving her a calm look.
Su Tang suddenly felt confident and nodded solemnly. “If Manman says so, then she can definitely do it.”
There was a hint of admiration in the principal’s eyes. He said with a smile, “Then how do you want to find evidence?”
“It’s very easy. I’ll be there after making a call.” Shi Man pulled Su Tang and found a place for her to sit in the office. Then, she went out to make a call. After a while, she turned back.
Hu Jing looked disdainful. She crossed her arms and warned, “All the students in the school are waiting for the results to be released today. I’ll only give you an hour. If you don’t find any evidence after an hour, we can only cancel your results at the same time.”
In Shi Man’s eyes, Hu Jing’s self-righteous difficulties had become a complete joke.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her smile was unusually cold. “It’s enough.”
The office fell into silence.
Everyone looked at Shi Man, who was drinking tea leisurely, in confusion. They were very curious about how she was going to prove her innocence.
Su Tang was also a little anxious, but seeing her calm expression, she knew that Shi Man really had a way to prove it. She immediately stopped worrying and sat obediently at the side, picking up a book to read.
Hu Jing glanced at her watch impatiently and said coldly, “Principal, if they’re just planning to stall for time, why don’t we announce the cancellation of their results now? Waiting like this is simply a waste of time.”
Without waiting for the principal to speak, Shi Man slowly put down her teacup and looked at her coldly. “Teacher. Hu, what’s the hurry? You said one hour.” “Fine!” Hu Jing gritted her teeth and snorted. “Let’s see what other tricks you can play!”
Geng Hui kept looking at Shi Man anxiously. Unfortunately, Shi Man had no intention of explaining anything to him.
As the form teacher of these two students, he naturally hoped that the two of them could successfully survive this crisis. However, because of his identity, he needed to avoid arousing suspicion, so it was not appropriate for him to personally vouch for them.
As time passed, there were only 40 minutes left.
Hu Jing’s expression became more and more smug, but before she could be satisfied, a loud honk suddenly came from outside the school building. Right on the heels of that, more than ten men and women of different heights in black suits alighted from five cars at the same time. Each of them was carrying an iron box.
This time, even the principal could not sit still. He suddenly stood up and looked down from the window in disbelief. At a glance, he saw the silver symbol on the other party’s chest.
That was a symbol of absolute status. These dozen or so people were all famous experts in the city.
Soon, the sound of uniform footsteps came from the corridor outside.
The principal hurriedly led the teachers out to welcome them. The person in the lead was a man who was over 60 years old but still had a tall and straight figure.
As soon as the principal saw him, he took the initiative to shake his hand. His tone was filled with respect. “Elder Wen, why did you suddenly come to Cassel Academy? Is there something important?”
Old Mr. Wen Yang smiled and held his hand. “I came this time because I received a call from the city. I heard that something happened to your school’s final exam this time and needed a handwriting appraisal, so I brought a few disciples over to help you take a look.”
“Oh! Why did you have to come personally for this matter?!” The principal invited him into the office in shock. At this moment, he looked at Shi Man and could not calm down for a long time.
Wen Yang was the most reputable expert in the city. He had made outstanding contributions to the development of the city in all fields of research, and was one of the most respected researchers in the police station was handwriting identification.
He did not expect Shi Man to be able to invite such a big shot over to prove her innocence. It seemed that he had not misjudged her previously. Shi Man was indeed not the kind of person who would deliberately break the rules of the exam.
This was the first time Shi Man had seen Wen Yang. After introducing herself respectfully and politely, she briefly explained the cause and effect of this matter.
Wen Yang listened with a smile. In the end, he nodded and said, “That means that as long as we prove that the extra handwriting on Su Tang’s paper was not written by her, we can prove that this matter has nothing to do with the two of you, right?”
Shi Man hummed softly. Under Hu Jing’s nervous gaze, she suddenly opened her thin lips and added, “I’ll have to trouble your students to help me find out who added the extra handwriting..”
