Chapter 128: You are really looking for trouble!

"Miss Gong surely wouldn't stake her college prospects on a lie, right? She’s always cared most about her grades and getting into a top university. It must be that Ye Luo cheated."

"Didn't you see? Ye Luo is daring enough to retake the exam. She definitely didn't cheat!"

"She cheated!"

"She didn't!"

"Isn't this show just spectacular?"

"Are they really going this far?"

The onlookers chattered away, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. Gong Ran, firmly convinced that Ye Luo had cheated, remained completely unfazed by those suggesting otherwise.

Gong Ran sneered, "Ye Luo, it seems your skin is thick enough that you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

The next second, Gong Ran addressed the principal with undisguised hostility: "Principal, since you claim Ye Luo didn't cheat, I no longer trust you. We cannot let you prepare the exam papers. As it happens, my mother has hired top tutors to prepare several sets for me; they are slightly more difficult than our monthly exam papers. I will bring one set for each subject for her to take."

The principal scoffed, "Fine, use the ones you prepared. That way, if she passes, you won't have another excuse to claim she cheated."

Gong Ran merely assumed the principal was still coddling Ye Luo, her belief in Ye Luo's guilt unshaken.

She turned to Lingling beside her and commanded, "Lingling, go to the classroom and fetch those test papers from my desk."

"Right away!" Lingling hurried off.

"There are no seats here. Let's go to the lecture hall for Student Ye Luo to take the test," the principal said, turning to head toward the lecture hall.

Before he could take a step, Ye Wuqi reached out, grabbed the back of his collar, and yanked him back.

Ye Wuqi laughed, his gaze sweeping over the dense crowd. "Since we’ve raised the stakes this high, why end it so quietly?"

Principal Chen: "...What do you intend to do?"

"Damn, Brother Qi, you’re really stirring the pot!" Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing’s eyes gleamed with excitement. The two began waving their arms, shouting in unison, "Stir the pot! Stir the pot! Stir the pot!"

Even the petite Qian Xiaoxing’s eyes lit up. Unable to contain his excitement, he joined in in a hushed tone, "Stir the pot, stir the pot..."

Ye Luo: "..."

The others: "..."

"What do you think I want to do?" Ye Wuqi first raised an eyebrow at the principal with a mischievous grin, then addressed the crowd. "Since everyone is here, you might as well watch. Gong Ran says our Sister Luo solves problems quickly, so it shouldn't take long for the results to appear."

Turning to Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing, he commanded, "Baba, Gorilla, go and fetch a desk and chair. Our Sister Luo will take the exam right here."

"OK!" Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing sprinted off to fetch the furniture.

Before long, the long-limbed pair returned at a run, one carrying a chair and the other a desk.

Lei Xingxing, true to his nickname "Gorilla," swung the desk with one hand as if it were a toy, causing the onlookers to instinctively recoil in fear.

They didn't forget to bring draft paper and a pen as well.

Once Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing set the desk and chair down, Ye Wuqi smiled at Ye Luo, who remained expressionless. "Sister Luo, take a seat."

Ye Luo sat down obediently, but she ignored the draft paper, taking only the pen.

The onlookers gasped. "What? She’s not even using draft paper? The school bully is confident enough to let her take the test right in front of us—maybe she really didn't cheat?"

Gong Ran sneered, "Stubborn to the very end! Since you’re so eager to humiliate yourselves further, I’ll play along!"
