"Qiao Shan, tell me honestly, were you the one who spread the rumors about the family compound? Were you the one who slandered Comrade Song?"
After returning to the office, Director Liu immediately found Qiao Shan.
Because she was the invigilator and the only person in the hospital who knew Comrade Song, it was hard not to suspect her.
The most undesirable thing happened.
Qiao Shan stood up timidly and said hesitantly, "...What, what slander? I don't know..."
"Qiao Shan, I advise you to think carefully before answering me. This matter could be serious or minor. If you tell me the truth, I can still handle it as usual. If you deny it, and I report this to the military district, the nature of the matter will be completely different."
What?
Report to the military district? ! !
"Director! Did you believe what Song Youyou said about the enemy agents?"
"You eavesdropped on our conversation." Director Liu said in an affirmative tone.
"Qiao Shan, you disappoint me."
Seeing the director's disappointed look, Qiao Shan panicked and said quickly, "Director, I didn't do that. I just happened to pass by and overheard..."
Tears fell like a stream, and she continued pitifully:
"Director, you also know our family situation. My father is a martyr who defended our country. I am a descendant of a martyr. How could I be an enemy spy... Director, don't you believe me?
I admit that I did tell others about Song Youyou's elimination, but I didn't mean it... I didn't expect it to spread like that..."
Qiao Shan cried so innocently and pitifully that Director Liu felt a little soft-hearted.
She knew Qiao Shan's family situation, and she had been taking care of Qiao Shan since she came to the military hospital, so they had a kind of master-disciple relationship.
However, emotion is emotion, and Director Liu will not give up on thoroughly investigating the truth just because she plays the emotional card.
"Show me Comrade Song's test paper from that day."
Qiao Shan took the initiative to ask for the position of invigilator. Afterwards, out of trust, she did not check the test papers.
If it was true that Qiao Shan deliberately targeted Comrade Song, then the test paper might have been falsified as well.
After all, Comrade Song's performance today was so amazing that she was a little skeptical that she would fail the exam.
Qiao Shan didn't expect that even after she said that, Director Liu still chose to doubt her, and she suddenly felt hatred in her heart.
She gritted her teeth secretly, suppressed her anger, and showed a sad and disbelieving expression to Director Liu.
"...Director, you still don't believe me?...Okay, then I'll show you."
Qiao Shan wiped away her tears, took out the test paper from the drawer, and handed it over with a wronged look.
Director Liu took it and read it carefully.
However, the more she looked, the tighter her brows furrowed.
What a mess of answers this is?
She couldn't help but doubt her previous decision.
With such poor theoretical knowledge, should Song Youyou really be admitted as an exception?
Qiao Shan observed secretly.
Seeing Director Liu frowning, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said hesitantly:
"Director, Song Youyou and I do have some disagreements, but I never intended to deliberately frame her...
I just said that she was eliminated because she did poorly in the exam, but it is also true.
I don't know why it's spreading like wildfire.
Maybe, rumors are the kind of thing that get more and more outrageous the more they spread.
I don’t want to either…”
"I understand the logic...but this isn't my paper."
"Song Youyou!"
"You're crazy! You walk without making any sound!"
Song Youyou's sudden appearance scared Qiao Shan.
Song Youyou smiled shyly, "I was getting bored waiting outside, and I just happened to hear you guys talking about my test paper, so I thought, since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well come in and take a look."
Oh, right, the test paper!
Qiao Shan's heart was suddenly filled with fear.
Didn’t Song Youyou just say...
"You said, this is not your test paper?" Director Liu asked.
Song Youyou shook her head, "No."
"Qiao, Shan."
Director Liu spoke in a low voice, staring at Qiao Shan sharply.
Qiao Shan was already numb, her smile was uglier than her cry, "But, maybe I got the wrong one..."
