Chapter 606: Strike Back Tenfold
For the past few days, the dean has been out of state, carrying out his research. As of now, was still away. The possibility of him committing the crime was minimal.
The principal was an even more unlikely suspect. After suffering such humiliation, the future of his career as a principal was already in jeopardy. He wouldn’t dare to invite even more scrutiny upon himself.
After eliminating the principal and the dean, the only other suspects were the homeroom teachers of each class. There were eight classes in the senior grade. The first, second and third classes were top classes, and the remaining five were regular classes.
The homeroom teachers of each class were suspected. If the motive for committing the crime was ruled out, people from other schools would also be suspected.
But Yun Xi had managed to narrow down the target and locked it inside the school. Whether the theft was directed at her or not, the fact of the matter what that the test paper was stolen. In order to avoid causing a big scene and to avoid getting herself dragged in, the only solution was to bring the test date forward.
She should take the test immediately to take advantage of the fact that the other party hadn’t answered all the questions yet. In fact, the other party would not have the time or opportunity to use the exam paper to harm anyone else.
The problem, however, was that the students from other schools would probably get to know of the test questions from Jing High School’s students, giving themselves an unfair advantage.
If this led to Jing High School’s final exam ranking falling in Jingdu, then the principal would never be able to recover from the extreme humiliation.
The more she thought about it, the more Yun Xi had reason to believe that the test paper was stolen as a way to target her and take her down.
In school, Zhou Chengzhe was the only person who had a grudge against her. But Zhou Chengzhe was an arrogant man and he probably found such a lowly and contemptuous method to be very disdainful. However, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect him to go to extremes in order to compete for the first place.
Just as she was thinking about this, Mu Feichi called her phone.
It was already the end of class, so Yun Xi took her phone to the corner of the aisle outside to answer the call.
“Young Marshal?” Yun Xi answered the phone in a low voice.
The man on the other end of the phone call was sitting in the command room. His sharp eyes fell on the troops on the monitoring screen. “What are you doing? Do you miss me,” he said.
“...” The vibe was extremely flirtatious and slightly awkward.
Yun Xi was not in the mood to respond to his teasing, so she ignored his question and changed the topic. “Are you calling me just to waste my time? Please tell me if you actually have anything to say. I’ll have to go back to class soon.”
“I have already found the person who stole the test paper. Do you want to know?”
“For you to call me, it means that the person who stole the exam paper did it to target me. And the only person I have offended recently is Zhou Chengzhe.”
“Yep, this incident was a collaboration between Zhou Chengzhe and Liang Xinyi. The key was secretly copied by Zhou Chengzhe from his homeroom teacher. I guess it was also to frame you. What are you going to do?”
“Me?” Her gaze fell sharply to the playground as Yun Xi chuckled lightly. “If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend people. If anyone offends me, I will retaliate by tenfold.”
“Tell me what you want to do, and my people will cooperate.”
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
“Alright, you don’t have to put yourself at risk. My people will take care of it.”
“What are you going to do?” Even if she wanted to show up, she couldn’t show up for this matter. If she did, she would surely get dragged in.
Mu Feichi smiled as he described his anticipated plan: “Soon, there will be news of the stolen exam papers from the affiliated high school. The stolen exam papers will appear on Liang Xinyi’s desk. She would never expect it. Those who were expecting to benefit from the situation will be dragged into the water instead.”
Admiring Mu Feichi’s sinister methods, Yun Xi squinted slightly. “This is really is your way of doing things. You’re efficient and ruthless.”
“As for Zhou Chengzhe, what you want to do to him is up to you.”
“Him? I don’t have to do anything! Me getting first place would make him more angry and anguished than any other form of revenge.”
The best way to crush an enemy was to strike him with one blow. It would severely damage his self-esteem and morale.
