As night fell and all the lights in the teaching building went out, Tang Siya stood outside the building, watching a furtive figure run out from inside.
She lowered her voice: "Here, come here quickly!"
"Coming, coming, Miss Tang."
The proctor who appeared before Tang Siya was the one Li Ming had told her about; he smiled obsequiously at Tang Siya.
Tang Siya comes from a wealthy family, while Li Ming is the son of a school board member. If Tang Siya wants to climb the social ladder in the school, currying favor with Li Ming and asking him for help is a good idea.
The proctor knew perfectly well what was going on. With a forced smile, he stepped forward and said, "Ms. Tang, I confirmed with my colleagues beforehand that the preliminary selection papers for the school are indeed kept in the office."
"Okay, that's fine then."
Tang Siya pondered for a moment: "The only person who could have access to the exam papers is Song Xijun. Even if he says he's avoiding suspicion, given what he's done for Ruan Qing'an these past few times, it's hard to guarantee he won't tamper with the papers."
The proctor listened and nodded repeatedly: "Although Song Xijun herself said that she would not do such a thing, I think that's not necessarily true. Ruan Qing'an kept looking at Song Xijun during the exam. It's hard to say what will happen between them."
The more Tang Siya talked, the more the proctor felt that she was right, and he also felt that Ruan Qing'an was not in a good state during the exam.
The two talked quietly as they walked toward the teaching building. The proctor had found the office where the exam papers were stored before they arrived, and with the key in hand, led Tang Siya to the third floor.
"Miss Tang, you must know what happened during the day, right? Many students came to report it, but it didn't work."
"Yes, I know."
Tang Siya said, her eyes cold: "Aren't Song Xijun and Ruan Qingan clamoring for evidence? Since that's the case, of course I'll find the evidence for them."
Of course, even if there is no evidence, evidence can be created.
In the darkness, in an unseen corner, Tang Siya smiled contemptuously, her usual poised and aloof demeanor completely gone, while the proctor opened the door.
He hunched over and said, "Miss Tang, please come in."
Upon entering the office, one can see a large number of exam papers stored up. The proctor explained, "These are all papers that haven't been graded yet. My colleague told me that the papers for this school's preliminary selection were special and haven't been processed yet."
"That's good. Let's look for the test paper first."
Smelling the scent of ink in the air, Tang Siya frowned, pinched her nose with some disgust, and stood aside. How could she possibly go and find it herself? Of course, she was only in charge of giving instructions.
As the proctor flipped through the papers, Tang Siya simply watched leisurely, pondering her next plan.
After she has arranged everything, she can report it tomorrow. Tang Siya is not like those ordinary students. Would the leader dare to kick her out?
As long as she can report it, she can produce evidence. As long as her family puts pressure on her again, Tang Siya doesn't believe Song Xijun won't be afraid.
She sneered, "Ha, Song Xijun, you won't listen to reason, you'll regret it later—"
"Miss Tang!"
The proctor's trembling voice interrupted Tang Siya. Her face darkened, and she said irritably, "Don't be so alarmed. What happened?"
At that moment, the proctor turned around shakily, seemingly frozen in shock, staring blankly at Tang Siya. Just as she anxiously urged him on, he finally said, "Miss Tang, the exam papers... all the exam papers are gone..."
"What? How could it be gone!"
Tang Siya immediately realized what was happening, her face changed drastically. She quickly stepped forward, pushed the proctor aside, and rummaged through the pile of exam papers in front of her, but found nothing.
She grew increasingly anxious, her hands becoming erratic: "What's going on? Didn't you say they were all here?!"
"That's really what my colleague told me..."
The proctor panicked and said, on the verge of tears, while Tang Siya had scattered large numbers of exam papers all over the floor, but still couldn't find the missing preliminary exam papers from the school.
Her face was deathly pale. Just then, footsteps sounded at the door. Tang Siya panicked and looked up sharply, only to see a long, dark figure appear in the moonlight—
The man was tall and slender, with slightly long black hair that obscured his expression. Behind the black-rimmed glasses he wore, his eyes gleamed with coldness, like those of a beast lurking in the shadows.
Song Xijun leaned against the office door frame, brushing a strand of hair behind him. Moonlight streamed down, illuminating half of his deeply contoured face, the overly sharp lines giving him an aggressive look.
Feeling that gaze, Tang Siya couldn't help but take a step back: "Song Xijun, what are you doing here..."
"Then, Miss Tang, what are you doing here?"
Song Xijun narrowed her eyes slightly, chuckled, and looked up at Tang Siya: "Could it be that you couldn't find the preliminary selection papers from within the school?"
Tang Siya suddenly realized something, staring intently at Song Xijun with a hint of fear in her eyes: "Did you take the test paper beforehand? Song Xijun, do you know what kind of behavior it is to steal test papers?!"
"I'm not like you, Miss Tang."
Song Xijun's smile carried a hint of cold mockery: "Teacher, you probably don't know either, but the papers for the school's preliminary selection have already been taken away, sealed, and sent to the Education Department."
"Wait, this school-wide preliminary selection isn't under their jurisdiction—"
Before the proctor could finish speaking, Song Xijun interrupted him: "Indeed, the Education Department is the organizer, but the overall operation still takes place within the school. They only play a supervisory and auxiliary role."
"However, the Education Department took this school-wide preliminary selection very seriously and was very curious about how the test papers were answered, which is why they transported all the papers away."
Upon hearing this, Tang Siya's face fell completely. How could she have been suddenly transported away? It must have been Song Xijun's doing.
The proctor, as if struck by a sudden thought, immediately tugged at Tang Siya's sleeve: "Miss Tang, it seems Song Xijun did this on purpose. Let's leave quickly!"
"snort……"
Tang Siya realized what was happening, but just as she was about to leave, Song Xijun suddenly bent down, took out a phone from behind the office door, and after adjusting it for a moment, said, "Why don't we wait a bit?"
"Ms. Tang, I just happened to take a picture of the office. Would you and your teacher like to take a look? Coming to the office in the middle of the night to look for exam papers, it's hard to explain, isn't it?"
Tang Siya's face turned ashen: "Song Xijun, are you threatening me?!"
But Song Xijun simply turned her phone screen towards Tang Siya and asked, "Isn't this something Miss Tang often does?"
"This is called reciprocity."
