"Mr. Luo, the educational philosophy of our school is to cultivate students with good character and academic performance for the country and society. We are not stingy with material encouragement for outstanding students, but our school is not a school that values material things and money. Do you understand what I mean?" Liu Dejiang said lightly.
Seeing Liu Dejiang's unmoved expression, Chen Xirong said angrily, "Your school's teaching philosophy is undoubtedly noble, but it's inevitable that there will be some thieves and scoundrels. Luo Qi sat in front of a student from the Huamei class on this exam. If you can find that student and have him confess how he sold the answers to Luo Qi, wouldn't you have evidence?"
As soon as she said this, Luo Chaoxin's face changed drastically, and cold sweat instantly broke out. He wailed inwardly, "Why are they bringing up Luo Qi's plagiarism again? Wasn't that already over? Damn it, why didn't this old woman just die?"
At this moment, he hated Chen Xirong so much that he wanted to grit his teeth.
When Lu Zhengming heard Chen Xirong say that Luo Qi plagiarized, he asked her jokingly, "Who told you that the person sitting in front of Luo Qi was a student from the Huamei class?"
He heard someone say in class yesterday that Luo Qi copied the answers from the student in the Huamei class who sat in front of him. Although he didn't believe it, he went to investigate the distribution of students in the examination room where Luo Qi was taking the exam after class and found that there were no students from the Huamei class in that classroom.
In fact, the students in the Huamei class were arranged to take the exam together, but a few extra students were arranged to other classrooms and their seats were randomly assigned with the students in the ordinary class.
Because Luo Chaoxin also scored high, Lu Zhengming checked his seat and found that the person sitting in front of him was Ma Rui, a student from the Huamei class. Ma Rui ranked 58th in the school with a total score of 663.
Chen Xirong didn't know who told Luo Chaoxin. She looked at her trusted baby son, but only saw that he was almost burying his head in his arms. She felt very uncomfortable and didn't know how to answer Lu Zhengming's question for a moment.
Seeing that the situation had reached the stage where he needed to retrieve the surveillance footage, Luo Xionghua could only take a gamble. He said to Liu Dejiang with a sullen face, "Principal Liu, please retrieve the surveillance footage and take a look!"
Liu Dejiang didn't waste any words and said to Zheng Xiangjun seriously, "Vice President Zheng, my computer is connected to the computer lab. You can retrieve the surveillance footage here! If anyone is found to have plagiarized, they will be expelled immediately according to school regulations!"
Zheng Xiangjun is in charge of school security affairs and is familiar with retrieving surveillance videos.
He agreed, and then retrieved the surveillance video of the classroom where Luo Qi took the exam from the principal's computer.
It would take some time to retrieve the video footage, and Liu Dejiang and Luo Xionghua also had some work to attend to. Luo Chaoxin then pulled Chen Xirong aside and asked her to leave the principal's office with him.
Chen Xirong also happened to have some questions to ask him, so the two of them walked out of the office together.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't a classmate tell you that that loser was plagiarizing? Who was it?" Just now in the office, Chen Xirong couldn't bear to embarrass her precious son in front of outsiders. Now that there were only the two of them, she could finally get to the bottom of it.
"Mom, it was Lin Xiaoyu, the student council member of Class 5, who called me and told me that. She shouldn't be wrong. But the surveillance camera can't capture every angle. What if the video can't show that Luo Qi plagiarized?" Luo Chaoxin still refused to admit that he lied. Not only did he put the blame on Lin Xiaoyu, he also tried to find a reasonable explanation for his lie.
Chen Xirong pondered for a moment, then said, "If you really can't tell that idiot is plagiarizing, then we can only let this matter go for now."
The situation was now clear; Liu Dejiang had made it clear he was going to protect Luo Qi. If the surveillance footage truly failed to reveal any evidence of plagiarism, then even the Luo family would be powerless against Shanzhong High School. They would have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill of humiliation.
Hearing Chen Xirong say this, Luo Chaoxin became anxious. If he couldn't get the school to expel Luo Qi, then he would have to fulfill the bet with Luo Qi. How could he bear this embarrassment?
After thinking for a long time, Luo Chaoxin couldn't think of any other solution. He could only say pitifully to Chen Xirong, "Then what about my bet with Luo Qi? You can't let me actually go on the broadcast, right?"
Looking at her weak and pitiful son, Chen Xirong hugged him in her arms and comforted him, "Dad will take care of it."
Luo Chaoxin still trusted Luo Xionghua very much. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, can't you just throw money at it? If 3 million doesn't work, then 5 million. If 5 million doesn't work, then 10 million. If that doesn't work, then 50 million. I don't believe the principal wouldn't be tempted by that much money."
"Well! Your dad will take care of it, you don't have to worry." Chen Xirong stroked Luo Chaoxin's head, looking at the teaching building in the distance, and said comforting words to him.
Zheng Xiangjun often deals with student disputes, so he is very familiar with checking videos and it only took him a few minutes to get the job done.
Everyone returned to the principal's office.
"Principal, this is Luo Qi." Zheng Xiangjun pointed to a place on the computer screen.
Liu Dejiang, Luo Xionghua and his family all saw clearly that the person sitting there was indeed Luo Qi, so they began to observe whether he was trying to cheat.
After watching for a while, they just saw Luo Qi writing furiously on the test paper with his head buried. He quickly finished a page and did not look like he was plagiarizing at all. Instead, he seemed to be answering the questions smoothly.
Luo Chaoxin's attention was not on whether Luo Qi had plagiarized, but on the person in front of Luo Qi, and his face immediately turned dark.
Because he recognized that person, it was Xiao Guobin from Class 8, not a student from the Huamei class.
