The feeling of being able to solve problems smoothly before had disappeared, and he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to understand the questions at all.

All the previous answers seem to have been problematic, but it's too late to change them now.

He continued to answer the remaining questions with trembling hands, becoming more and more panicked. Suddenly, he realized that he was in a dead end.

Xie Li ignored Qian Shujian; this unexpected disaster had come out of nowhere.

Fine, since the other party won't even let her glance at it, she's not interested in it either.

Xie Li raised his hand: "Teacher, I'll hand in my paper now. If he still has any objections, we can check the surveillance footage after the exam. I have no objections."

The proctor hesitated for a moment: "You are only allowed to submit your answer sheet 30 minutes in advance during the exam."

There are still about forty minutes left, so we have plenty of time.

Xie Li: "I think I'll hand in my paper to avoid any objections from some people."

The proctor finally agreed.

Jiang Yifan then looked up slightly in the direction Xie Li had left, narrowing his eyes. He had just wanted to say that Qian Shujian was stupid for talking nonsense without having any evidence against him.

However, it's a good thing that Xie Li was forced to hand in his paper early.

Therefore, as Qian Shujian became increasingly disoriented, he loosened his grip on the pen, causing it to fall to the ground. He then casually picked it up, placed his hand on his neck, and seemingly unintentionally curled his fingers.

Qian Shujian quickly looked over and soon understood.

After the exam, Qian Shujian subtly thanked Jiang Yifan, saying, "Thank you."

The cheating method was something they had agreed upon beforehand: passing answers by bending fingers, but it was limited to the first five multiple-choice questions.

But this was already a good thing for Qian Shujian. The others had just checked their answers, and it turned out that all of his answers to the first five questions were wrong.

He did terribly on the later questions; he can barely recall his answers now, which shows how badly he did.

No wonder the proctor didn't believe him; that was really embarrassing.

Qian Shujian felt so ashamed of the embarrassment he had just caused in front of the proctor that he wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground.

She even started to hate Xie Li as well; she must have done it on purpose!

“What you’re doing is futile.” Jiang Yifan said calmly. “Only by catching the thief in the act can you leave them speechless.”

The following afternoon, the exam was a combined science exam.

Because the invigilators are paired up and randomly assigned, in this particular case, coincidentally, one of the invigilators was Wenling.

Qian Shujian's eyes darted around. He had actually thought about looking for an opportunity in the morning, but unfortunately, the exam was in English, which was his best subject. He didn't dare to be careless or distracted. In addition, Xie Li handed in his paper early again, which prevented him from finding an opportunity.

The science section had a lot of questions, and after working on it for a while, he felt dizzy and his head was spinning. He couldn't help but look in Xie Li's direction.

Xie Li remained as relaxed as ever, twirling his pen as he read the questions, occasionally pausing to quickly jot down a few strokes.

Qian Shujian knew that Xie Li hadn't been paying attention in physics class lately, and instead had been spending his time doing math problems.

Therefore, it was unwise to target Xie Li during yesterday's math exam, as Xie Li's math skills were clearly quite good.

But physics is a different story. Xie Li has hardly ever attended any classes, and physics isn't a compulsory subject in elementary school, so he probably doesn't even have a basic understanding of physics.

No wonder he dared to go against Wenling; maybe he found physics too difficult and completely gave up on himself.

With a slight thought, he quickly tore off a piece of paper and wrote down a few options on it.

Looking around, I saw that everyone was engrossed in their work, clearly stumped and unable to concentrate.
