Chapter 277: Ning Li Isn’t Clean Either

Ye Ci pursed her lips tightly and her hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched.

That was a direct question asking if she cheated.

“No.” Ye Ci answered decisively. “The results of the preliminary round are my own effort.”

“Then how do you explain these two exams, as well as your recent progress?”

Li Guangyuan stared at her closely.

“You should know that your competitive physics class teacher, Zhou Fei, used to be a student in Capital First High as well. I taught him back then. According to him, your performance in the competitive physics class in Yunzhou Second High in the past several months had been mediocre. The only good score you have is from the preliminary round.”

Li Guangyuan did not mean to suspect the students, but Ye Ci was indeed suspicious.

Anyone could see that there had to be a problem there.

Ye Ci’s heart turned cold. She suddenly understood that these teachers had started to investigate her some time ago.

For a while, Ye Ci was shocked and vexed, but also very humiliated.

There were 52 students in the winter camp from every province, but they only suspected her.

They had already secretly investigated these without her knowledge.

“Even if you had guessed the questions, you couldn’t have guessed so many.”

Even an old teacher like Li Guangyuan, who had many years of experience in competitions, could only bet on a few questions.

How could Ye Ci have coincidentally guessed almost all of them correctly?

“So…you suspect me of cheating?”

Ye Ci asked with a slightly raised voice. She seemed to be somewhat agitated.

Zhao Ping said, “Ye Ci, we want to reiterate that we’re not suspecting that you cheated. We just hope that you can explain this matter clearly. Now, there are two solutions. Either you tell us the original story and give us a proper reason, or you can redo the provincial preliminary round’s spare paper. This backup paper is equivalent in the difficulty level to the version that was used before. Everything will be clear to us once you get a good score on that paper.”

Li Guangyuan took out another sealed file bag from the drawer as Zhao Ping spoke.

It was very thin.

“Exam paper B is in here.”

Li Guangyuan put it on the table and looked at Ye Ci.

“You can choose for yourself.”

The office was dead silent.

Ye Ci felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Her chest felt like it had been compressed with a boulder till she felt it hard to breathe.

After a while, she looked at the teachers.

At this time, the expression on her face was calm.

“I didn’t see the preliminary exam paper in advance. I was able to do well on the exam because…I looked at Ning Li’s notebook before the exam. Almost ninety percent of the topics in her notebook coincided with the preliminary exam paper.”

After Ye Ci said that, all three of the teachers were shocked.

“You said…Ning Li?!”

Ye Ci had just dropped too much information on them at once.
