Chapter 50 I must accuse Roach
Lu Shuhe refused Jiang Sui's help.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Lu Shuhe, Jiang Sui finally couldn't hold back and went to see her again.
"I think my life is pretty good right now."
"And as long as you get through the senior year of high school... things will be alright."
Lu Shuhe dared not accept Jiang Sui's help, nor did she dare to look into Jiang Sui's disappointed eyes.
She was afraid that her condition would worsen if she received intervention.
This uncertainty filled Lu Shuhe with a sense of panic, as if she were falling into an abyss; she had long since lost the ability to be brave for herself.
Now that Li Lin has stopped bothering her, Luo Qi seems to have forgotten about her as well...
As for her parents' sarcastic remarks, she had long been used to them.
It's okay.
Lu Shuhe had made up her mind. Once she got into university, she would run far away and never return to Xunning. She would block everyone on her phone, believing that time would heal everything.
As long as she stops stealing.
Everything will be alright.
Lu Shuhe comforted herself.
"It will be alright."
She seemed to be possessed, repeating the same phrase over and over.
I don't know if I'm trying to convince Jiang Sui or just numbing myself.
“Lu Shuhe…”
Jiang Sui wanted to persuade her again, but Lu Shuhe interrupted her, saying without thinking, "I know why you want to help me. Aren't you afraid that if something happens to me, it will implicate Teacher Su? Don't worry, even if I really die, I will leave a will to clear Teacher Su out."
The conversation naturally ended unhappily.
Jiang Sui didn't understand.
There was clearly only one option in this matter, so how could Lu Shuhe have taken a different turn?
"Whether she went too far or not, I admit that my mother was partly responsible for helping her in the first place, but now I genuinely want to help her!"
Jiang Sui also felt wronged, as her good intentions were misinterpreted in this way.
“Everyone has their own choices, and you’ve done all you could,” Ji Jingyu said gently. “I believe she will come back to you.”
Upon hearing Ji Jingyu's words, Jiang Sui looked puzzled.
She didn't understand why Ji Jingyu spoke with such certainty.
—
From that day on, Jiang Sui never contacted Lu Shuhe again, nor did she inquire about the other party's situation from Su Yinian.
It was as if all the connection between them had been erased.
The first thing Jiang Sui noticed when she entered the examination room was Lu Shuhe's seat.
Lu Shuhe's situation is special, and given her current withdrawn personality, even in Class 4, no one is willing to come over and talk to her.
But now, a lot of people are gathered around her seat.
Occasionally, a sound would come from that corner, but because of the noise in the classroom, Jiang Sui couldn't hear it clearly.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Sui put her exam supplies on her seat and walked towards Lu Shuhe.
"Hey, Jiang Sui, where are you going?"
Jiang Deyu called her name from behind, and Jiang Sui turned to look at him: "You go ahead with your work, I'll just take a look around."
Jiang Deyu: "..."
Nobody would believe her.
He was tall and spotted Li Lin in the crowd immediately.
Jiang Deyu couldn't help but frown; what bad luck!
I was actually assigned to the same exam room as this bastard.
Even without Jiang Sui tempting him with the game console, Jiang Deyu was now determined to do well on the exam.
Is Jiang Sui going to cause trouble for Li Lin again?
Although he also disliked this bastard, the timing was wrong.
The exam is about to begin.
Jiang Deyu immediately wanted to contact Ji Jingyu, but when he reached into his empty pockets, he realized that he had already turned off his phone and thrown it into his backpack.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
After all, he had promised Ji Jingyu that he would take good care of Jiang Sui.
Just wait until the proctor comes in.
Jiang Deyu thought.
Now, even more people gathered around Lu Shuhe.
—
Li Lin injured his leg.
Although he has always claimed that he injured his leg by falling, in fact his leg was injured by being beaten.
During the summer after his second year of high school, he met a gangster outside of school and became his boss.
He doesn't need to go to school or work, he has no worries about food and clothing, and a group of followers do things for him.
With his older brother protecting him, Li Lin once felt that he could do whatever he wanted in Xun Ning.
It wasn't until he accidentally angered his older brother and got a severe beating that he realized he was nothing in the other's eyes.
Li Lin's parents had some doubts about the extent of his injuries, but Li Lin insisted that he had fallen on his own.
He didn't dare tell his parents the truth, fearing his older brother's retaliation.
The injury will heal eventually; just bear with it and it will pass.
Why make trouble for yourself?
Using his leg injury as an excuse, Li Lin asked the school for a long leave. If it weren't for the exams, he wouldn't have wanted to come back at all.
With his leg injury and the dreaded exams, Li Lin's mood became extremely irritable the moment he stepped into the school gate, and he found fault with everything.
These weaklings at school are definitely easier to bully.
Once he recovers, he will take revenge on these people tenfold.
"Get lost, don't bother me!" Li Lin slapped away the fawning follower with his cane and sat down in his seat, looking annoyed.
His gaze swept casually across the classroom, and he made an unexpected discovery.
He originally thought that the students taking the exam with him were all a bunch of terrible students, and that their scores wouldn't change whether they cheated or not. He was surprised to find that there were actually some good students mixed in.
It's truly a stroke of luck.
"Lu Shuhe, send me the answers later."
Li Lin walked over to Lu Shuhe with his cane and spoke to her in a commanding tone.
He knew that Lu Shuhe wouldn't refuse, nor would she dare to refuse.
Because she has something on him.
Since the surveillance cameras in the laboratory building were practically useless, Li Lin made demands on the other party without any restraint.
As expected, the moment Lu Shuhe heard his voice, her face turned deathly pale, as white as a sheet of paper, without a trace of blood.
She gasped, "You..."
Li Lin placed his hands on Lu Shuhe's desk, slowly approached her, and revealed a malicious smile. "What about me?"
But his smile didn't reach his eyes; a threatening look was reflected in his ferocious pupils.
Lu Shuhe had taken a break from school for a while, and Luo Qi had taken that video. If Li Lin had happened to run into him today, he would have almost forgotten about him.
In Li Lin's eyes, Lu Shuhe was like a lame gray sparrow, no matter how hard it fluttered, it could not escape his grasp.
If it weren't for a chance encounter, Li Lin would never have known that the seemingly glamorous and praised student was actually a morally corrupt thief.
Before Lu Shuhe dropped out of school, her grades were always among the best in her grade.
Copying her answers will definitely result in a better ranking than if he makes up his own.
Even if he doesn't run into Lu Shuhe in the next midterm exam, he won't have trouble catching people in other exam rooms to help him cheat.
Li Lin was almost driven crazy by his parents' nagging about his grades. If he could resolve this issue, he would be laughing in his dreams!
"Brother Lin, I'm not a problem either."
The lackeys, eager to get a share of the spoils, were afraid that Li Lin wouldn't include them, so they quickly spoke up to remind him.
"Oh, remember to give him one too." Li Lin ordered Lu Shuhe around arrogantly, showing no respect whatsoever.
The lackey, his face full of obsequiousness, praised him repeatedly, "Thank you, Brother Lin! Brother Lin's actions are truly remarkable!"
Seeing the smug look on Li Lin's face, Lu Shuhe forcefully pierced her palm with her fingertips, and an unbearable stinging sensation immediately came from her palm.
Just as Li Lin had thought, even though she knew it was an unreasonable request, she didn't dare to refuse.
"Bang."
Li Lin's cane, which he was leaning against the table, was kicked over.
The loud thud of the cane hitting the ground startled the unsuspecting Li Lin, making him shudder.
"Are you blind? Believe me or not..."
His harsh words were swallowed back before he could finish them.
With a mocking smile on his lips, who else could be standing in front of him with his arms crossed but Jiang Sui?
Li Lin: "..."
What the hell? How come Jiang Sui is in this exam room too?
Li Lin felt that Jiang Sui was simply his nemesis.
Doesn't this old lady have anything else to do?
All he does all day is cause trouble for him.
His good mood was thus completely ruined.
He had originally planned to appease his older brother and then have him stand up for him and teach Jiang Sui and Ji Jingyu a lesson, to see if they would dare to act arrogantly in front of him again.
Unfortunately, his older brother gave him a severe beating first.
"Trying to cheat?" Jiang Sui defiantly stomped on Li Lin's cane, grinding it lightly, and uttered two words: "No way."
Jiang Deyu, who was following behind Jiang Sui, was on high alert. He was ready to beat up Li Lin if he dared to lay a hand on Jiang Sui.
He can take a beating, but Jiang Sui must remain unharmed.
To Jiang Deyu's utter astonishment, Li Lin didn't utter a single word and slunk away.
The cane that was thrown on the ground was picked up by his younger brother.
Why is Li Lin so afraid of Jiang Sui?
Could it be that Jiang Suijia isn't in business, but rather involved in organized crime?
She came to seek refuge; could it be that she came to find calamity?
As Jiang Deyu watched Jiang Sui's retreating figure, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
—
Not long after Jiang Sui sat down, the proctor walked into the classroom with a bag of test papers.
Upon recognizing the person, Jiang Sui paused in her play with the pen, then laughed in exasperation.
The proctor in their exam room was actually Roach.
Li Lin's expression immediately turned smug again. He turned to look at Lu Shuhe and gave her a sinister smile.
The purpose is self-evident.
However, at this moment, for Lu Shuhe, Li Lin's intimidation was...
The moment she saw Roach, her head felt like it had been hit by a heavy blow, and she froze on the spot, her heart pounding like a drum.
Her hands, resting on the table, trembled involuntarily, and cold sweat instantly soaked through the back of her clothes.
The fear of Roach was like an invisible hand gripping Lu Shuhe's throat, making the feeling of suffocation grow stronger.
Nightmares will never disappear on their own; you have to overcome them yourself.
Lu Shuhe's attempt to smooth things over with time is absolutely the most foolish thing to do.
Jiang Sui began to understand what Ji Jingyu was saying.
As long as Li Lin and Luo Qi are still around, and as long as Lu Shuhe's parents don't change, she simply won't survive until after the college entrance exam.
Lu Shuhe's mental state was already on the verge of collapse. She was like a string stretched to its limit, and the slightest provocation could completely destroy her.
If Lu Shuhe still had even a shred of will to live, she would definitely come back to find Jiang Sui.
—
The entire examination room was in a state of near chaos.
Li Lin, taking advantage of the fact that the proctor was Luo Qi, treated the examination room like his own home.
He kept sending Lu Shuhe coded messages, wanting her [sexual favors], but Lu Shuhe ignored him.
A sinister glint flashed in Li Lin's eyes. If he couldn't have an easy time, then no one else could either.
For the rest of the time, he continued to cough and move tables and chairs.
Aside from occasionally popping up near Lu Shuhe, the proctor, Luo Qi, acted as if he were dead, making no attempt to stop Li Lin from disrupting the examination.
Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and raised their hand to report the situation.
Luo Qi asked Li Lin with a half-smile, "Why do you keep making noises, student?"
"Teacher, I'm sorry, my throat is sore, I really can't help it."
"Try to overcome it."
"Okay, Teacher Luo."
He verbally agreed readily, but in reality, he became even more reckless and unscrupulous.
Jiang Sui took a deep breath, about to curse.
Someone got there before her.
"Li Lin, if you don't want to sit while taking the exam, then get out and stand outside to write!"
Jiang Sui turned her head at the sound and saw Qin Lin standing outside the window with a furious expression, having probably been watching for a while.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry.
"Teacher Luo, some of the students in your exam room are making a huge fuss, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Out of consideration for Luo Qi's feelings, Qin Lin stopped there and didn't say anything too harsh.
Luo Qi walked up to Li Lin with an embarrassed look on his face and slapped him hard. "If you make another sound, you're getting out of here!"
"I understand."
Li Lin practically buried his head in the exam paper.
Although Qin Lin knew that Li Lin wouldn't dare to continue "defying the rules," he still kept a watchful eye on things and kept loitering around the lab building.
—
After the Chinese exam, Li Lin and his friends, who were seething with anger, surrounded Lu Shuhe.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone else, so he could only vent his anger on Lu Shuhe.
"Why didn't you send me the answers?" Li Lin snatched Lu Shuhe's stationery and threw it all on the ground, his expression gloomy. "Have you forgotten that I still have something on you?"
Lu Shuhe's hands and feet were ice cold, and her fingers, hanging at her sides, gripped her trouser legs tightly.
Hearing Li Lin say this, everyone else's curiosity was piqued.
"What leverage do you have over us? Share it with us."
"Exactly, it must be very exciting to have something on a top student."
"You want to know?"
"Yes, I do!"
"You would never guess that the top student standing in front of you is actually..."
Li Lin paused, looking at Lu Shuhe who was swaying precariously in front of him, and a secret pleasure suddenly welled up in his heart.
This is what happens when she doesn't obey.
"Are you sure that's Lu Shuhe's weakness, and not yours?"
Jiang Sui appeared out of thin air. She leaned against the door, her eyes scanning Li Lin from bottom to top as if she were looking at a pile of useless garbage.
Finally, she sarcastically lifted her eyelids and said, "I feel like you're the one who's in more serious condition."
Lu Shuhe stole, Li Lin extorted money, and he wasn't much better.
Li Lin was stunned. He clearly saw Jiang Sui walk out of the classroom before going to cause trouble for Lu Shuhe.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Sui turned around and came back.
What truly terrified him was what Jiang Sui said.
She seemed to know what leverage Lu Shuhe had over him, and what he had done to Lu Shuhe.
Li Lin instinctively shivered, his heart leaping into his throat.
"Don't talk nonsense." He pretended to be calm and glared at Lu Shuhe. "You're lucky today. Anyway, you just wait."
—
After Li Lin left, the chemistry lab became extremely quiet.
Jiang Sui didn't leave, but she didn't say anything either.
It was as if he was competing with Lu Shuhe.
"Jiang Sui." Lu Shuhe moved her lips, her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and her voice was terribly hoarse, "I was wrong."
Just now, when Roach passed by her, he said something.
"Come to my office at noon."
Lu Shuhe felt nauseous just from the mere sight of him getting close.
But because I didn't eat anything in the morning, I couldn't vomit anything except acidic fluid.
As if struggling to suppress her emotions, Lu Shuhe's mind was in complete chaos. "I'll turn myself in. I must accuse Luo Qi..."
Suddenly, she was enveloped in a warm embrace. Jiang Sui gently patted her back, "Don't be afraid, Teacher Su and I will help you."
Lu Shuhe's tears fell immediately.
"Um."
Jiang Deyu, who had been standing by and acting as if he were invisible from the very beginning: "..."
He realized he seemed to have heard something very important.
Jiang Deyu looked around helplessly when a tall figure appeared before him.
He rubbed his eyes, and after confirming it wasn't a hallucination, he felt as if he were seeing a relative, "Brother Ji!"
—
The three of them walked back to the classroom.
"Brother Ji, what brings you here?"
"Neither you nor Jiang Sui have returned to the classroom, so I came to check on you."
Jiang Deyu was eager to find out more about Lu Shuhe's matter, "I just..."
"We'll talk about this later."
The speaker was Ji Jingyu.
Jiang Deyu finally realized, belatedly, that Ji Jingyu also knew about this.
He suddenly felt less panicked.
Did Teacher Qin come over during the Chinese exam?
Jiang Sui nodded, "Yes, and we stayed for quite a long time."
Jiang Deyu chimed in, "You didn't see it, but as soon as Lao Qin arrived, Li Lin became as obedient as a grandson."
"That's good."
—
English teacher Wen Xin carried the test papers into examination room number one.
When Ji Jingyu saw that it was her who had come, she subconsciously frowned.
He had previously seen the proctoring schedule for the first monthly exam of the senior year in Sun Hao's office. If he remembered correctly, Wen Xin was supposed to be proctoring the last exam room.
The proctor in their exam room was Roach.
So, did Wen Xin and Luo Qi switch exam rooms now?
Monthly exams aren't as formal as midterms; each exam room only has one invigilator. If Roach really did go to the last exam room...
"Teacher Wen, I'm going out for a bit."
"Go ahead, but keep an eye on the time."
Ji Jingyu wasn't too unlucky; he soon ran into Qin Lin in the corridor.
Qin Lin is the Dean of Students. His main responsibility is to patrol the examination rooms with the grade-level directors, so he is usually not assigned to proctor exams.
"Teacher Qin," Ji Jingyu called out to him.
"What's wrong? Exams are about to start, why are you still wandering around outside?"
Qin Lin always spoke to students who were both morally and ethically excellent in a particularly gentle tone.
"Teacher Qin, could you please check on the last exam room later?" "Huh?"
“Jiang Sui took the exam in the last exam room.” Ji Jingyu didn’t beat around the bush. “When I was tutoring her, I discovered that she had a bad habit.”
"What is it?" Qin Lin immediately became interested.
“She is very particular about her environment when she is doing exams; she can’t concentrate if it’s even slightly noisy. You know the situation in the last exam room; if the proctor can’t keep the students in check, it will definitely affect Jiang Sui.”
Ji Jingyu's explanation was reasonable and well-founded: "After all, this is an exam to test her learning progress over the past month. Only if she does well on the exam will she have the confidence to continue studying hard."
"Okay, I got it." Qin Lin patted Ji Jingyu on the shoulder, glanced down at his watch, and said, "The bell will ring soon, hurry back to the exam room."
"good."
Ji Jingyu knew that Qin Lin had taken his words to heart.
