CHAPTER 461: CHAPTER 487: RESISTANCE

Sun Chan resolutely refused to admit it. The school’s several officials were already having a headache over the exam question issue. At this moment, seeing someone report Sun Chan, they were quite happy, thinking it was just the right time for her to appear. This girl had no connections or background, so they might as well let her take the blame, and then our troubles could be lessened a bit. They were ready to make Sun Chan the scapegoat.

How to make her take the fall? After some discussion, they decided to say Sun Chan got close to the teacher who set the exam, peeked at the test papers in the office one day, and then made excuses of someone selling test papers, indirectly selling them for money. The person selling the test papers was a relative of Sun Chan’s, who had already run away and couldn’t be caught, making Sun Chan the mastermind of the incident.

As for Sun Chan, she was to receive the punishment of probation at school and a fine of five hundred yuan.

But they also offered her some benefits, promising her that after the matter settled down, she could be directly admitted to the college program at this school without having to take an exam.

They all thought Sun Chan wouldn’t dare do anything, especially since they had given her some perks. She probably wouldn’t refuse, right?

After learning about this, Sun Chan was completely stunned. Her first thought was, why me! I haven’t offended anyone, so why should I bear this? In fact, it was just a coincidence; the school wanted to catch someone, and she happened to be reported. So they made her take the blame.

Sun Chan refused adamantly: "I admit to things I’ve done, but I won’t admit to things I haven’t done!"

A teacher sitting in front of Sun Chan said, "But now you have been reported. A fly doesn’t bite a seamless egg; you must have something to do with this matter."

Sun Chan sneered, "Just because I have no background, I can be bullied at will? Who exactly reported me? I want to confront them face to face! Besides, just because someone reports, there has to be punishment? Then I can randomly make a bunch of reports too!"

Another teacher couldn’t help but tell the truth when he saw Sun Chan being so headstrong: "Sun Chan! Our school is in trouble, and as a student, it’s your duty to help the school solve problems. Besides, we’re also offering you benefits..."

"Shouldn’t the school be the purest place? I despise a school like this; I don’t want to be admitted to its college program. I can’t accept such arrangements." Sun Chan stood her ground firmly.

The teacher was left with no choice, stood up, and said, "If things get big, no one looks good, be smart about this!"

Sun Chan said, "Even if I get expelled, I won’t admit it! I’ll report it to the higher-ups!"

The teacher snorted and walked away directly, thinking, "Anyway, you don’t have much power; what else can you do?"

Yet they overlooked one thing; although Sun Chan didn’t know anyone from the education committee, someone else did.

In the classroom, Wu Qiong soon learned that something happened to Sun Chan and was dumbfounded.

She never intended to harm Sun Chan like this! It was just a matter of saying casually that she bought the exam papers and then coming to the rescue. How did all the responsibility get pushed onto Sun Chan?

Wu Qiong hurried out to call her father, "Sun Chan is in trouble, help her."

Wu Dafu quickly asked what was going on; Wu Qiong dared not tell the truth and only said Sun Chan was involved in buying and selling test papers.

Wu Dafu said, "Really? I’ve met Sun Chan a few times, she’s not that kind of kid; she would definitely not buy exam papers... Are you hiding something from me?"

"No..."

"Tell the truth!" Wu Dafu reprimanded.

He knew his daughter well, why would she suddenly help someone she disliked without a cause? There must be a reason.

Wu Qiong had no choice but to reveal her plan.

Wu Dafu angrily slammed his fist on the table, "How can you be so foolish! Incapable of success, capable of failure! Can I still fix it now? She’ll surely think we’ve set her up, otherwise, why would a school with so many people target just her!" Sun Chan’s academic performance wasn’t the best. It was clearly targeted at her!

In the school, the only one who had a bad relationship with her was Wu Qiong. If Sun Chan couldn’t figure it out, it would be too abnormal.

"Then what should we do?"

"Do nothing! You make sure that the two girls keep their mouths shut, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore, the school is using this incident to resolve problems, and it has nothing to do with you all."

"Dad, if Sun Chan gets expelled, won’t it be my fault?"

"No, she won’t be expelled. If things get big, the school won’t benefit either," Wu Dafu said. "Besides, Sun Chan is capable, not lacking for a diploma. Let’s stay out of this from beginning to end, pretend we don’t know about it. Even if questioned directly, never admit to anything. If anything else happens, you stay at home, or I’ll send you back to the village!" He said and then hung up the phone.

Even if Wu Qiong was unwilling, she could only accept it. She understood her father’s intent - just play dumb! Never admit to this matter.

Liu Enming was also very angry and made a phone call to someone he knew at the education committee. This contact was the son of the second-in-command in the city; the education committee took it very seriously and immediately contacted the school leaders; "Leaking exam papers is a severe issue. Can you dismiss it with just a student? This student named Sun Chan is innocent, you better reinvestigate, and if you can’t figure it out, you can forget about being recognized as an advanced unit next year! Might as well be directly downgraded!"

"No, we..."

"Shut up! You’re all quite capable, leaking exam papers and randomly grabbing scapegoats? You better capture the insider involved, or you can go home and take care of your kids!" He finished and hung up directly.

The school principal, who had just returned from the district, listened to the reprimand and was furious. He didn’t know anything about the matters going on below him.

The school had been applying for advanced specialist status for four or five years, and success was imminent. Who knew the damn thing would be reported? This was disastrous!

He slapped the table, "Investigate! Make sure to get to the bottom of this! Also, find out who reported Sun Chan. I refuse to believe it, with only a handful of people involved, we can’t get to the truth! If we can’t solve this, all teachers of this grade will have their annual bonuses deducted!"

All the teachers were disgruntled, as they relied on bonuses for New Year expenses; if they were gone, how would they live?

When faced with interests, they couldn’t care about any camaraderie and started reporting enthusiastically.

So soon enough, it was found out that a teacher from the department secretly printed and sold test papers, and had been doing it for more than just a year or two, with benefits earned amounting to at least several thousand yuan.

This teacher confessed, he had his older brother-in-law and father-in-law sell the exam papers.

Subsequently, those who sold the papers were called in, and matched with the students who bought the papers.

The teacher pleaded while crying, saying he had elders and children to support, and didn’t want to leave the teaching position, but it was no use. The principal wouldn’t relent; the teacher had to bear the responsibility.
