CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 486: TAKING THE BLAME

Actually, Wu Qiong didn’t really want to do anything to Sun Chan for real. It’s just that she heard her father very much wanted to recruit Sun Chan into his factory, so Wu Qiong came up with a plan. This time, she wanted the school leaders to be told that Sun Chan was the first to buy the exam questions.

This way, she could get into trouble; Sun Chan would at least get a serious warning, possibly hinting to the leaders that she was at risk of being expelled.

Then Wu Qiong would suddenly appear to help Sun Chan out of the predicament.

By then, she would become Sun Chan’s benefactor. In the future, if she asks Sun Chan to help at her father’s factory, Sun Chan wouldn’t refuse, and since she is her benefactor, Sun Chan would be in a subordinate position to her. What a brilliant plan!

Wu Qiong thought she was so clever to have come up with such a great idea so instantaneously.

The two girls didn’t want to fail their exams, and since Wu Qiong assured them their identities wouldn’t be exposed, everything would be on her. So, they agreed.

Wu Qiong gave those two girls money, and they went to find the person selling the questions and bought the exam questions. The three then looked at the questions, quickly searched for the answers, and started memorizing.

Actually, quite a few people bought the exam questions this time, almost thirty people in a grade.

As a result, the news spread; some people got very angry, having studied hard to compete for scholarships, but then something like this happened! Some felt envious and wanted a share, but didn’t have enough money, so they resorted to begging and asking around. They wanted to team up with others to pool their resources.

In any case, there was chaos outside the exam hall.

Sun Chan frowned as she watched groups discussing, looking at the questions, and memorizing them, thinking how unfair this was?

Liu Enming walked over and said, "What’s wrong? You seem upset." After the incident in the courtyard, their relationship had taken another step, and they were pretty good friends now.

"It’s nothing. I just heard the exam questions leaked, and people are panicking. I’m wondering if I should buy them." Sun Chan said with a smile.

"Is that true?" Liu Enming immediately said, "No way, this is a big deal, I must report it to the authorities." Saying this, he walked forward quickly.

Sun Chan pulled him back: "Isn’t it bad? Many students spent money, what if they blame you afterward?"

Liu Enming said, "Knowing it’s unfair, should we help the wrongdoers? This matter can’t be overlooked. If I didn’t know, that’s fine, but since I know, I can’t allow such things to happen." He said, taking a few steps forward again, then turned back and asked, "Are you coming?"

Sun Chan hesitated and then nodded yes, following Liu Enming.

On the way, Liu Enming told Sun Chan, "The exam questions must have leaked because school teachers and the question sellers colluded for profit. Such people appearing in school are not a good thing. Today they sell questions, tomorrow they might embezzle public funds, bully students, so such evildoers must not be allowed to remain at school."

"You’re right." Sun Chan thought, Liu Enming had the confidence she lacked.

She also had a sense of justice and discernment, but she was still hesitant to expose these things publicly, fearing offending people doesn’t feel right. But Liu Enming didn’t worry about this, he believed in doing what’s necessary without hesitation. She’s been reborn once and already braver than in the past life, but in facing many matters, she still thinks stepping back makes the world open and broad.

For instance, with Bai Fanglan’s matter, she saw her begging, claiming to have a child, and couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.

She thought, this is my weakness; I absolutely cannot make such mistakes again. From now on, I’ll do what needs to be done. Why should I be afraid?

Seeing Sun Chan walking beside him with a very serious expression, Liu Enming said, "What’s wrong? You look very scared. You don’t have to come with me if you’re afraid. I can go alone."

Sun Chan quickly shook her head: "It’s not that. It’s because of you that I realized so many flaws in myself, and am thinking about how to correct them. From now on, I want to become a strong person too."

Liu Enming laughed and said, "I was just thinking, you are going to do business in the future; you can’t be soft all the time, thinking ’let go when you can.’ This kind of thinking won’t do. Some people, even if you offer them a hundred favors, won’t remember and will instead harm you more wantonly. Since you’re being a pushover, not caring about what happens to you, they’ll act even more viciously next time."

If they succeed, naturally, they’re happy, and if they fail, it’s no big loss; everyone would act this way.

Sun Chan thought, isn’t this exactly the truth?

Yang Yun, Sun Lijuan, and Bai Fanglan are all like this. She’d been so considerate to them, but what did she get in return? Just a mess. Yang Yun, her own sister, even tried harming her several times, ultimately wanting to ruin her face, never repenting.

Now, aside from Sun Lijuan being unable to harm her in this lifetime, Yang Yun and Bai Fanglan are potential threats. She must be cautious.

"I understand now; some people, you just can’t be kind to them. The moment they make a mistake, you must stop them at the root and not let them continue harming people."

"Hmm, someone like that is near you, right?"

Sun Chan smiled but didn’t answer.

Liu Enming and Sun Chan went to the director’s office and reported the exam question leak. The school leaders took it very seriously.

They immediately made phone calls to verify, and instructed teachers at each exam hall to search the premises quickly.

The test-takers had just taken their seats when they were controlled by people, and teachers started searching their belongings item by item, finding exam questions in many students’ pencil cases, sleeves, and clothes. Upon comparison, they were indeed the exam questions.

Of course, the exams couldn’t be held, so they announced that backup papers would be used for retakes the next day. For a moment, the entire grade’s students were in chaos.

At this time, someone quietly reported that Sun Chan was behind it, saying she was the one who initiated buying exam papers.

Sun Chan, upon hearing the news, was furious: "I never bought or looked at them, who’s slandering me!"

But the whistleblower wrote on paper using the left hand, who’s to know who wrote it? It’s impossible to trace.

The school, adhering to a principle of ’better to wrongly punish than overlook,’ took Sun Chan to the principal’s office for investigation; naturally, Sun Chan firmly denied it, her stance unyielding.

"I’ve never bought any exam questions. If I had, would I still report it with Liu Enming? Do I have nothing better to do?"
