"Professor Fan also encouraged me to steal the test questions from the dean's office." Facing Long Zhan's extremely oppressive gaze, Gao Han said calmly.
"Nonsense!" Before Long Zhan could speak, the school staff scolded him, "How could Professor Fan say such a thing? What evidence do you have? Besides, the test questions were not in the dean's office in the first place."
Gao Han shrugged, "There is no evidence. I just guessed where the test questions were. I don't know if it is true or not. I just said it casually."
The staff member frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with his frivolous attitude. Just as he was about to continue lecturing him, he was stopped by Long Zhan.
"You are very smart. The school will not wrongly accuse a good person just because of one or two accusations from others. You were called here just for confrontation."
Long Zhan's aura was steady and heavy, and the eyes he stared at Gao Han were no longer as intimidating as at the beginning, but instead contained a hint of admiration.
"Thank you, Professor Long." Gao Han showed gratitude. He knew that this matter was of great importance. If the instructor in charge of reviewing the cheating test questions had used his strength and status to threaten him from the beginning, he would have to suffer.
"Did you hear that?" Long Zhan's sharp eagle eyes moved to Huang Baiyang and the other two. His scrutinizing gaze was filled with deep intimidation, making the three of them sweat profusely and lose all their color.
"I'm asking you one last time. Is he the one behind you? Think carefully before you speak out. Otherwise, if we find out the truth is the opposite of what you said, the consequences will not be something you three students from ordinary families can bear."
Long Zhan was obviously very good at breaking down students' psychological defenses. The two students who were caught later were so scared that they were crying and snotting.
"We recruited, we recruited. It was not Gao Han who instigated us."
"But we don't know who it is. Huang Baiyang told us the plan."
They are just ordinary people. After learning that Huang Baiyang was arrested last night, they were so scared that they couldn't sleep the whole night. When they were brought here in the morning, they had wet their pants.
"Since you don't know who it is, how do you know it wasn't Gao Han who instigated you?" Long Zhan didn't even look at Huang Baiyang whose face was pale. He took a step forward with his mighty and strong body, standing in front of the three people like a towering mountain. The breathing space suddenly became smaller, and the air became thinner and thinner.
One of them had a running nose and could no longer speak. He was holding his breath so hard that his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.
The other person was a little more resilient, but he was also very frightened and explained incoherently.
The gist of it is that Huang Baiyang said that if the matter was exposed, he would put the blame on Gao Han.
Huang Baiyang lied to them and said that as long as they gave out the mastermind behind the incident, their punishment could be reduced a lot.
The two were not very clear about the plan after being exposed, and it was Huang Baiyang who told them everything.
Huang Baiyang's original intention was to fear that they knew too much and would be easily exposed, but he did not expect that this would become their breakthrough point. Knowing nothing, they were more credible.
"Take them both away." Long Zhan's outward aura was instantly restrained, and he gave instructions to the staff.
The staff members were convinced. It turned out that interrogating people had to be done by Director Long.
So far, they have not met anyone who can survive Director Long's hands. They would have been slapped in the face very soon.
Huang Baiyang's lips were as pale as paper. He felt no less than the other two, because Long Zhan's real target was him, and his two accomplices were just incidental. As a result, his psychological defenses were too weak, and they collapsed before it was their turn.
"Do you want to confess yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?" Long Zhan was a little impressed by his psychological quality. He could endure his pressure head-on, and was actually better at enduring it than the other two.
There was a flickering flame of struggle in Huang Baiyang's eyes, which finally slowly went out. "I confess!" He exhaled a breath of foul air, his face ashen.
"There was no one behind the stealing of the exam questions. I planned the whole thing by myself."
Long Zhan exclaimed, "I underestimated you. You can still be so stubborn."
"I'm not being stubborn, this is the fact!" Huang Baiyang was still defending himself.
Gao Han was also a little surprised. At this point, he thought Huang Baiyang should have explained something, but he ended up taking all the responsibility on himself. The final result would only be more serious than if it was shared out. He should understand this.
"Who told you to frame me?"
Huang Baiyang didn't fall for his trick. He was silent for a moment before saying, "No one asked me to frame you. I thought of it myself. The incident between you and Yuan Zhe has caused a lot of controversy. Framing you is the best choice. Also, you defeated Chen Siqin last time, and she is the object of my admiration, so I want to take this opportunity to take revenge on you."
Gao Han raised his eyebrows. This was a very credible excuse. It was a pity that this person was not afraid in the face of danger and could come up with such an excuse with a clear mind.
"What a pity," he said.
Long Zhan glanced at him sideways. This kid could still say this even after being framed. No wonder Professor Fan also looked at him with admiration.
"Boy, since the suspicion has been cleared, you can go. The school will handle the rest."
"Teacher Long..." Gao Han wanted to say something.
"I know what you want to say. If there is really someone behind him, we can always find clues. You should go back to the classroom and attend class." Long Zhan interrupted him.
Gao Han glanced at Huang Baiyang, who had his head down and no expression on his face. He didn't believe that there was really no one behind him, but there were only a few people he could suspect, so there was no need to rush.
Less than an hour later, when Gao Han returned to the weapon refining class, the class had not yet ended.
Seeing him appear at the door, the originally quiet classroom immediately became lively. Everyone was whispering to each other, unable to believe how Gao Han suddenly came back.
"Since everything is fine, go back to your seat." Professor Fan, the only one who was not surprised by his return, just said calmly.
Gao Han nodded slightly and returned to his seat.
"Why did the school let him go so quickly when stealing test questions is such a matter serious?" Wei Kaiyang said unwillingly. He was clapping and praising the person the moment before, and the next moment, the person appeared in front of him. He felt like he had been slapped in the face.
Yuan Zhe was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "This is a clumsy way of framing, but the school is not stupid."
"But it's too soon. At least we can hold on until tomorrow and prevent him from taking the exam, so that his reputation can be ruined." This is Wei Kaiyang's real purpose.
"Interrogating a few ordinary students, do you think it's like interrogating spies? Any random tutor in the school can scare them into confessing everything." Yuan Zhe shook his head.
…
After class, Wu Yukun seemed to be in a hurry, so he ran out of the classroom in a hurry, went to the next classroom, and immediately called Tang Xinyu to a deserted place.
"Xinyu, didn't you say that this time it would be foolproof? Why was Gao Han released?"
"He was released?!" Tang Xinyu was just immersed in the news that Gao Han was taken away from the school. She was so proud and thought her plan worked. But after just one class, Wu Yukun told her that Gao Han was released.
"It's true. I saw him being released with my own eyes." Wu Yukun was very anxious. "Those people, they won't betray us, right?"
"No, I have already prepared a backup plan in case I'm discovered. Only Huang Baiyang knows about it. Others don't know and can't tell even if asked." Tang Xinyu was secretly resentful that she still couldn't bring Gao Han down. She wasn't too worried about whether Huang Baiyang would betray her.
"Forget it, as long as he doesn't say anything, we'll just ignore it." Wu Yukun was very scared.
Tang Xinyu couldn't help but secretly cursed him for being a coward, but if there hadn't been a problem with Shen Xiaojie that caused Gao Han to become wary of him, the plan wouldn't have failed halfway.
…
Huang Baiyang refused to confess until the end, and the school did not find any evidence that he had been bribed. In this information age, this is almost impossible.
Unless it is true as Huang Baiyang said, he stole the test questions just for himself, and framed Gao Han just to help Chen Siqin vent her anger.
Most students believe the latter, after all, even the school has not found out.
As a result, wherever Chen Siqin went, people looked at her strangely, and some even secretly said that she was a beauty that brought disaster, which made her very annoyed.
People at the Magical Equipment Academy were even more convinced that when Gao Han finished the exam at the Equipment Refining Academy and came back to challenge Class One, he would definitely choose Chen Siqin.
The next day, the examination of the Equipment Refining Academy came as scheduled.
Except for three students who were punished, no one else was absent.
The focus of everyone's attention returned to whether Gao Han could fulfill his promise and beat Yuan Zhe in this exam to become the number one in the first-year weapon refining academy.
"Those idiots, Brother Han never said he wanted to be the best in the Equipment Refining Academy, what a bullshit promise."
Ma Zechao and Zhao Bin knew that Gao Han had an exam today, so they came over to check on him. However, they heard the students from the Equipment Refining Academy talking about this matter, which made Zhao Bin so angry that he started cursing.
"Forget it. Brother Han is used to being alone and won't pay attention to what they say. It's enough for us to trust him." Ma Zechao feels that for a person who is truly capable, no slander can cover up his brilliance. This is the confidence that comes from a fan.
The two of them also had classes in the morning, so they didn't stay too long. They found Gao Han, chatted with him for a while, and then went back to class.
The exam is divided into five levels. The first level tests knowledge of cultural subjects, commonly known as the written test. However, to prevent cheating, it has been changed to a computer test, which is reviewed and corrected by the school's central intelligent computer, eliminating any cheating and possibility of human error.
The test numbers are drawn on the spot and allocated by the intelligent computer based on probability, so people in the same class are basically not assigned to the same area.
Gao Han took his number and found his seat as soon as he entered. Except for a few classmates, the rest were unfamiliar faces.
No one was in the mood to talk. This was an exam that would determine whether or not one could get good resources this semester, and was equivalent to deciding one's fate for the next six months. No one could help but take it seriously. Some were rubbing their hands, and were so nervous that they kept muttering something.
As soon as the exam time comes, three transparent data walls immediately rise around each student, and then solidify into a solid object to prevent students from cheating.
Gao Han saw a small black dot on the data wall in front of him. This was probably the so-called surveillance.
The computer started refreshing, and once the students confirmed that there were no errors in their avatars and student numbers, questions popped up one by one.
Gao Han took a quick glance and filled in the answers to each question without hesitation.
Some answers can be written out just by rote memorization, while some are related to refining and require students' own understanding.
There were true-or-false questions, multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, etc. The questions were quite difficult. There was also a very difficult trap question at the end. It was called a trap question, but for him it was probably because the order was wrong, because he had seen similar questions in old man Yuanshan's notes.
This kind of question seems to be something that has not been learned in the first grade, but it actually appears here.
Gao Han didn't think much about it. He filled in the answers he thought of, confirmed the answers to the entire paper, and submitted it.
When he looked at the time again, it was just halfway through. When he went out, there was no one else there. He was the first one to hand in his paper.
The staff in the hall thought he was a poor student and handed in his paper early, and they shook their heads.
Today's students are too impetuous. They can't wait to hand in their papers and take a break as soon as half the time is over, which is several minutes earlier than the record of the last exam.
Gao Han did not stay outside. He left in a leisurely manner after the exam.
After the second student finished the exam, he thought he was the first and was dancing with joy. He was the real poor student.
When the exam was almost over, people came out one after another.
When Yuan Zhe came out, Wei Kaiyang was already waiting for him outside. When he saw him, he immediately waved at him, "Azhe, this way."
"Have you seen Gao Han?" Yuan Zhe asked as he walked over.
Wei Kaiyang was stunned for a moment, "No, I haven't seen him since I came out. Maybe he hasn't come out yet?"
Yuan Zhe looked towards the entrance of the examination room. Time was running out. Only those who were unsure of the answer were still struggling. Smart people knew how to judge and generally would not do this. "It seems that I overestimated him?"
"What do you mean by overestimated or not overestimated?" Wei Kaiyang didn't understand what he was saying.
Yuan Zhe shook his head, "Nothing, let's go."
The examination of the Equipment Refining Academy adopts a level-pass mode. Only after passing the first level can you advance to the second level, so the results will be announced in an hour. This hour is obviously very torturous for some people.
…
"Wow, there is actually one freshman in this year's class who got full marks." A staff member was surprised when he received the transcript from the central intelligent computer.
Another person heard what he said and leaned over to take a look. "It's that Yuan Zhe, right? He's the only one in the whole first grade who has this ability. I heard that this semester's exam is a few degrees harder than the last one, and there are questions that are beyond the first grade. There are so many weapon masters in the Yuan family, it's not surprising that Yuan Zhe knows this."
"That's true."
Neither of them took it seriously. After reviewing it, they clicked confirm and set the time to be displayed. Because the intelligent brain reviews very quickly, the time it says the results will be out in an hour is not the time it takes for the intelligent brain to review the results.
An hour later, students from the weapon refining class crowded into the hall to check their grades. There was no fixed passing score for cultural subjects, and it would be adjusted according to the difficulty of the questions. If the column showing their information turned red, it meant they failed.
The questions this semester were more difficult, so the passing score was lowered to 50 points. Even so, many people were still eliminated.
