Bao Ya was tall and strong, but his academic performance was average, and he was somewhat disorganized in class.

Bao Ya scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "Teacher Liu, it's a virtue of me to speak out against injustice. You should praise me, not criticize me. Isn't that how you always teach us? Don't you all agree?"

Many of the boys chuckled softly.

Looking at Bao Ya's innocent eyes, Liu Xiangshang almost knelt down.

He knew that the students at Yucai Middle School were quick-witted, had unique personalities, and relied on the fact that they would have no problem getting into good schools in the future. Many of them also came from well-off families and were generally quite mischievous.

Let alone his homeroom teacher, even if the principal came, these boys might not be convinced.

Which teacher hasn't been driven to the brink of despair and then come back to life by their students?

But if I were actually in that situation, I would really want to kill someone like Bao Ya in a heartbeat.

"Bao Ya! You've disrupted class order, you'll be punished!"

Bao Ya nodded indifferently, "Alright then, I'll wait. I hope it won't take too long! Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day..."

Hahaha…………

The faint laughter pierced Liu Xiangshang's heart like a thorn.

This is all a disgrace brought about by that wicked Yang Wanwan!

Liu Xiangshang turned his gaze to the culprit, suppressing his emotions, his face filled with sorrow. "Yang Wanwan, although you have no respect for your teacher, I can't just watch you go astray. This money belongs to everyone, and I can't ignore it. So, we still need to follow the proper procedures. Since you refuse to go, I'll go and call them over."

Yang Wanwan smiled and said nothing more.

Liu Xiangshang turned and left, and the classroom immediately erupted in commotion.

Wow! Yang Wanwan, you're so cool!

Some classmates even came over to express their admiration!

Yang Wanwan was also impressed.

Yang Wanwan said, "Why should I admit to something I didn't do?"

Tan Meimei: "Wow! You're awesome!"

The boys whistled and cheered, making the classroom as lively as a market.

It turns out that nobody cares where the forty dollars went; all they care about is how this war was fought.

As for the outcome, even if it is proven that Yang Wanwan stole the money, it will be difficult to erase the impression that she had a tough conversation with Liu Xiangshang.

After a while of commotion, four people from the Academic Affairs Office and the Security Office arrived as expected.

The directors of the teaching affairs office and the security office, and their respective staff.

The director of the teaching affairs office was a balding middle-aged man named Director Cao.

He always had a bitter and resentful look on his face, which earned him the nickname "Cao Dehuan" from his students, meaning that he should be happier and not always so serious, as he had lost almost half of his hair even though he was only in middle age.

After Director Cao came in, he asked in a very casual tone, "Who is Yang Wanwan?"

Yang Wanwan stood up. "Yes, that's me."

"Yang Wanwan, your teacher Liu just said that you don't want to go over to cooperate with the investigation and that you want to be investigated in the classroom. Is that true?"

"Yes, Director Cao. I did not steal any money."

"Hmm. You say you didn't steal the money, but the school has some evidence. Now that things have escalated to this point, why don't we just talk about it publicly? Do you have any objections?"

"no comment."

Director Cao gave Yang Wanwan a meaningful look, then turned to the head of the security department and said, "Alright, Director Ma, let's show the video to everyone."

Director Ma took out a DVD and placed it in the DVD case of the television set used for audio-visual education in the classroom.

Yang Wanwan understood; there was a video.

There are two video surveillance cameras installed in the front and back of each classroom at Yucai Middle School, and there are also cameras installed in the corridor outside the classrooms.

Director Ma took the remote control and quickly exported the video.

After a brief period of static on the television screen, a video appeared.

In the video, a girl is initially studying at her seat. After a while, only she and two other students engrossed in their studies remain in the classroom. The girl gets up, goes to the Rollton desk, lifts the desk lid, quickly takes out a wad of cash, closes the lid, puts the cash in her pocket, and leaves the classroom.

The girl's face cannot be seen in the video, but judging from her seat, height, hairstyle, and clothing, she is Yang Wanwan.

The video ended there, and the classroom erupted in discussion.

Liu Xiang looked at Yang Wanwan smugly, "Yang Wanwan, what else do you have to say?"

Yang Wanwan glanced at Liu Xiangshang and said, "This person looks like me, but he's not actually me."

Director Cao asked, "Yang Wanwan, you say it's not you, but I think most people who watch this video would think it is you. What do you say?"

"Director Cao, do you also think this person is me?"

Director Cao said, "Because I can't see your face, I can only say that it looks like you, not that it is definitely you. Therefore, today is your chance to explain. Since you say it's not you, then please think carefully about how you will convince the entire school that this person is not you."

Yang Wanwan said, "Director Cao, the law states that the burden of proof lies with the party making the claim. The school should be the one to find a way to prove that this person is me and not someone else."

Director Cao actually smiled.

Liu Xiangshang could see through Director Cao's thoughts and thought to himself, "The school's dean of students and students have all gone mad!"

This Director Cao actually quite admires Yang Wanwan?!

Such an easy thing, yet it took so long and was so complicated!

Liu Xiangshang hurriedly said, "Director Cao, it's obvious that Yang Wanwan did this. It's one thing for her not to admit her mistake, but what does that say about the school? The evidence is conclusive. Do you think the school would wrong her?"

Director Cao glanced at Liu Xiangshang, his eyes filled with disapproval and even a hint of warning. Liu Xiangshang was taken aback.

Director Ma from the security department suddenly spoke up, "Director Cao, in my opinion, the girl in this video is Yang Wanwan. Although her face isn't visible, who else could be sitting here besides her? And why would she have the exact same clothes, hairstyle, and height as her? This is a classroom; not just anyone can come in. If she isn't Yang Wanwan, wouldn't the other students find it strange that she came in and sat in Yang Wanwan's seat?"

Yang Wanwan looked at Director Ma, a middle-aged man in his forties who was very tall and burly.

His words were not without merit, which sparked discussion among the students.

Director Cao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, the video will be taken after the fourth period on Monday. Since everyone is here, let's all recall what happened at that time."

The fourth period ends around lunchtime, and students either go home or go to the cafeteria.

However, there are often a few students who do their homework in the classroom and don't go to eat until the cafeteria is less crowded.

The two students in the video who are engrossed in doing their problems are the latter.

Therefore, they were the first to be called up and questioned.
