CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 170: MEETING TINGYAN 1

Yang Haiyan discovered she had fallen into a dead end, with no way out. There’s that saying, "When mud falls into your pants, whether it’s mud or not, it’s still mud!"

"If you have nothing to say, take her away," the algebra teacher ordered, "Let’s go see the principal together and have him punish this student!"

This punishment would undoubtedly be expulsion. Seeing the other teachers grab her off the ground, ready to take her away, Yang Haiyan panicked, "No, I didn’t take the test papers, don’t take me away!"

She was truly frightened; the plan was supposed to get Gu Nianyang expelled, how did it turn out to be herself!

No way, she had worked so hard to get to this point, she absolutely couldn’t be expelled!

"Uncle, Uncle save me!" In her desperation, Yang Haiyan could only plead with Wang Fugui, "Uncle, I’m innocent, you can’t not save me, we..."

Wang Fugui was utterly disgusted by Yang Haiyan’s actions. Hearing her about to reveal their relationship in public, he quickly changed his expression and spoke, "Dear teachers, I think Yang Haiyan seems to have grievances. Why don’t I take her to my office for a talk? We can’t let any delinquent students go unpunished, but we also can’t wrong anyone!"

Wang Fugui’s words sounded proper and upright. The teachers, well aware he intended to cover for Yang Haiyan, could only agree since he was the dean of education.

With all eyes on them, Yang Haiyan was taken away by Wang Fugui. It was obviously Gu Nianyang who should have been taken away, how did it end up like this?

Gu Youlan was watching from the side, breaking out in a cold sweat. The more she thought about it, the more she felt this whole thing was bizarre. Gu Nianyang was practically a monster. How did she stealthily manage to slip the test papers into Yang Haiyan’s backpack?

With Yang Haiyan taken away, everyone spent the entire afternoon discussing the question leak incident. Jiang Tian secretly asked Nianyang, "Yangyang, why do I feel like this was all aimed at you? Had you known about this all along?"

Nianyang was slightly surprised Jiang Tian had caught on, "Why do you say that?"

"Don’t think I didn’t know you sneaked out in the middle of the night last night. I wasn’t sleeping deeply then and felt you came back half an hour later. Then this afternoon, the question leak incident happened, and just now Yang Haiyan was accusing you. So I figured she must have stolen the test papers to frame you, but you turned it back on her, right?"

"Pretty sharp, Tianjie, you got it right."

Nianyang told Jiang Tian what happened.

She had her little partner follow Yang Haiyan for days and learned Yang Haiyan intended to use the question leak to harm her, so last night, after Yang Haiyan put the test papers into her backpack,

She secretly returned to the classroom and had her little partner remotely maneuver the test papers back into Yang Haiyan’s backpack.

And so, the current scene unfolded. When Nianyang spoke to Jiang Tian, she only said she discovered Yang Haiyan’s scheme and retaliated, without mentioning her little partner.

"Well done, well done!" Jiang Tian hugged Nianyang excitedly after hearing everything, "Yangyang, you’re so clever. Finally, that troublesome Yang Haiyan can be dealt with!"

"Not necessarily..."

Nianyang felt Yang Haiyan must have some contingency plan. Sure enough, news of a reversal came that evening.

Wang Fugui announced publicly that after investigation, it was discovered that Yang Haiyan’s roommate, Li Mei, disliked Yang Haiyan and deliberately stole the test papers to frame her. The evidence was the footprints in the office matching Li Mei’s [though no one really knew if there were any footprints].

In the end, it was concluded that Yang Haiyan was innocent, while Li Mei was charged with framing a classmate and the crime of leaking test questions, resulting in her being directly expelled for both offenses.
