Yuan Mengge and Hu Yuanyuan sat on the steps of the corridor in front of the Education Bureau, each holding an ice cream, chatting as they ate.
Hu Yuanyuan said, "This time they're separated, so they shouldn't be able to fake it, right? Chen Xuelan did such a terrible job on the exam, and she still wanted to be the top scorer? She almost succeeded!"
Yuan Mengge, with an ice cream in her mouth, said calmly, "But if you look at it from another angle, if she had really good grades, her parents wouldn't need to steal other people's points."
Hu Yuanyuan thought about it and realized that what she said made sense.
"But is this matter really over? Her parents didn't seem to be punished at all." Hu Yuanyuan said somewhat displeasedly, thinking about Chen Xuelan's family.
Yuan Mengge chuckled lightly and said, "How could that be? They'll be punished soon, just you wait."
Hearing this, Hu Yuanyuan looked at her in confusion and asked, "Really?"
He Qingfeng, who was standing next to her, looked at her and asked, "How do you know? If they've hidden the evidence, then there's no way to prove they did it, and therefore no way to punish them."
Yuan Mengge said, "No, even if there's no evidence, I can find other evidence against them. Their mistake was daring to tamper with my score."
Hearing her words, He Qingfeng couldn't help but advise, "Don't do anything illegal."
Yuan Mengge said, both amused and exasperated, "No way..."
I would never commit murder or arson, but I have done plenty of petty theft.
Time flies by in the sweltering summer.
The third exam of the day will begin at 1:30 PM.
The exams covered physics and politics. Everyone went out for lunch and found a place to rest. Apart from a few reporters who were keeping watch here, no one else came over so quickly.
Third subject: Physics
Yuan Pingping – 90.
Chen Xuelan – 55.
Fourth subject: Politics
Yuan Pingping – 98.
Chen Xuelan – 63.
After seeing the scores released in the afternoon, there was no suspense left.
Although Chen Xuelan seemed to be in a better state in the afternoon, she was still far behind Yuan Mengge.
Among the crowd that gathered in the afternoon, a young woman's eyes lit up when she saw Yuan Mengge walking out: "Oh? It's her..."
Then she went over and called out, "Pingping, it's you! The person who came here for the make-up exam today... it's you???"
Yuan Mengge and the other two were taken aback when they saw the woman who suddenly appeared. But she quickly remembered.
"Huh? Aunt Lan?" Yuan Mengge greeted her with some surprise, "What brings you here?"
Isn't this the lady she helped catch when her bag was snatched?
Her award for bravery has been issued.
"I was just passing by. I heard that some students' grades were switched these past few days, and they have to retake the exam today, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you... I remember you were studying in Heshui Town... Zhong! Did someone steal your grades?"
As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Yuan Mengge with surprise.
Yuan Mengge nodded: "Yes, that's right, someone stole my points. I was originally the number one in the whole county."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xu angrily retorted, "How dare you do such a thing!"
Then she looked at He Qingfeng and Hu Yuanyuan next to Yuan Mengge and asked, "Are these two your family members?"
Yuan Mengge shook her head and introduced them: "This is my teacher, and this is my god-sister."
He Qingfeng nodded to Lan Xu: "Hello."
He then said to Yuan Mengge, "We should get in the car now, we'll talk again next time."
They needed to catch the last bus of the afternoon, otherwise they would have to walk back.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xu immediately said, "Alright, then you should go quickly. Pingping, you have another exam tomorrow, right?"
Yuan Mengge nodded: "Yes, we'll come again tomorrow."
Lanxu said to her, "Okay, then you go back first, I'll come see you again tomorrow."
After watching Yuan Mengge and the other two ride to the station in the Fengcai car, Lan Xu turned around and walked into the Education Bureau.
Upon entering the hall, she looked around and saw today's exam scores written on a blackboard on one wall.
Seeing Yuan Pingping's score, she smiled slightly and said, "This child is truly accomplished in both academics and sports. Why didn't she come to study in the county town with such grades before?"
She then glanced at Chen Xuelan's grades, and just then saw a staff member walk by, so she casually asked, "Which school does this Chen Xuelan go to?"
The man glanced at her before replying, "From No. 1 Middle School."
Lan Xu frowned upon hearing this: "How did she get into No. 1 High School with grades like that?"
The man shrugged: "Who knows?"
After saying that, the person left.
Lan Xu stared at the blackboard for a moment, then walked a short distance from the Education Bureau and went into a phone shop to make a call.
"Help me find out what the parents of Chen Xuelan from No. 1 Middle School do."
A puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone, asking her, "Why are you investigating other people?"
Lanxu: "Don't ask so many questions, just help me check it out."
"Okay, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Lan Xu turned to look at the street outside and murmured to herself, "I felt a little guilty last time for not thanking her properly. This time, I'll repay her."
Meanwhile, Yuan Mengge and the others returned to town. He Qingfeng said to her, "Get some rest. There's still half a day left tomorrow, so we can't let our guard down."
Yuan Mengge nodded and said, "Mm."
Back at the Hu family home, Hu Yuanyuan excitedly told her family about her day's success.
Hearing that today went relatively smoothly, the Hu family members breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hopefully nothing will go wrong tonight."
"What problems could possibly arise? The scores have already been published, and so many people have seen them. Who could possibly fake them?" Mr. Hu was quite rational.
“Yes, the scores have already been separated today and can’t be changed. Unless they have the ability to invalidate today’s exam, but today’s exam was made up for this reason in the first place, so the Education Bureau will be more cautious and there shouldn’t be any problems,” Yuan Mengge said calmly to them.
Nothing happened overnight. The next morning, Hu Yuanyuan and her brother accompanied her out, and then they took a car into the city with He Qingfeng.
Upon arriving at the Education Bureau, they heard an unexpected piece of news.
Chen Xuelan gave up today's exam and won't be coming.
"The result is obvious. She would have lost even if she had come today. And after what happened, even if the final results are released, I doubt any school would want her now."
"Yes, if it were me, I would have to go somewhere else to repeat a year, retake the exam, and then go to a completely unfamiliar high school."
Although Chen Xuelan gave up the exam, Yuan Mengge still had to finish it.
The final results were in: Chemistry 91, English 100.
