After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

"Chen Ming, the school has zero tolerance for any cheating. Zhao Rou's grades are the result of her own hard work, and as her homeroom teacher, I can vouch for that."

"Alright, since Zhao Rou really didn't cheat, then she should be able to get a high score with a different test paper, otherwise it wouldn't make sense."

Chen Ming spoke up.

"Do you think the school is your personal property? You can do whatever you want with it?"

Teacher Wang's words revealed an undeniable firmness. He looked around the class, his gaze filled with authority.

"If anyone doubts Zhao Rou's grades, they can provide evidence. Otherwise, such unfounded accusations will only damage the unity of the class and the reputation of the school," Teacher Wang continued. His voice echoed in the classroom, instantly silencing the previously noisy atmosphere.

“Now, I hope this matter ends here. Chen Ming, come to my office with me. We need to have a serious talk about your attitude.” After saying this, Teacher Wang turned and walked towards the office.

Seeing this, Chen Ming had no choice but to follow.

However, he wasn't too flustered. Chen Ming followed Teacher Wang into the office.

The office was filled with a faint smell of ink, and the bookshelves were neatly arranged with various educational books and folders.

Teacher Wang gestured for Chen Ming to sit down, and then sat down on the opposite side of the desk.

"Chen Ming, I know you are very smart, but you shouldn't use your intelligence in the wrong way," Teacher Wang said earnestly.

Chen Ming remained silent, waiting for Teacher Wang to continue.

"Zhao Rou excelled in this mock exam because of her own hard work. Do you know how much impact your unfounded accusations will have on her?"

Teacher Wang immediately stood on the moral high ground and condemned Chen Ming, completely ignoring the expression on his face.

“Teacher Wang, I just feel that our school only has one spot for selected graduates. Whether it’s Zhao Rou or you, you should ensure that every student has an equal opportunity to compete.”

Chen Ming spoke up.

Upon hearing Chen Ming's words, Teacher Wang's expression turned even more unpleasant.

He hadn't expected Chen Ming to refute him so calmly. He had thought Chen Ming would feel ashamed of his accusations, but clearly, Chen Ming had no intention of letting it go.

"Chen Ming, are you challenging my authority?" Teacher Wang's voice carried a hint of anger.

“No, Teacher Wang, I was just offering some suggestions,” Chen Ming replied, his voice no longer carrying the sarcasm of before, but instead sounding more mature and rational.

"Suggestion? You keep saying the results were unfair this time, are you sure it's just a suggestion?" Teacher Wang pressed.

"I'm not saying that Zhao Rou's grades are definitely problematic. I just think that if someone leaked the information beforehand and it's discovered, then if the school investigates, everyone involved will likely be held accountable."

Chen Ming's words froze Teacher Wang in place. If he didn't know something, Chen Ming certainly wouldn't have spoken like that.

However, Teacher Wang is a shrewd and experienced man; he must not panic, especially at times like these.

Teacher Wang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Chen Ming, I will seriously consider what you said. But you should also understand that everything requires evidence. Accusations without evidence will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings and harm."

"So, Teacher Wang, you mean that you didn't leak the answers to this exam to Zhao Rou?" Chen Ming's tone became increasingly sharp, and this was now a blatant threat.

"Chen Ming! What do you mean by this! Are you questioning me?"

A flicker of panic crossed Teacher Wang's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, trying to maintain her dignity.

"Chen Ming, do you have some doubts about my professional ethics?" Teacher Wang's voice rose a few decibels, clearly angered by Chen Ming's direct questioning.

He stood up, placed his hands on the desk, and stared at Chen Ming with eyes as sharp as knives.

“That’s right, but I’m not just doubting it. I wouldn’t say these things without evidence.”

Chen Ming remained calm and composed. He knew he had the upper hand in this matter. Even when you're in the wrong, you should still argue. Now that he was in the right, how could he let him off so easily?

"Although I don't know what kind of deal you made with Zhao Rou, I can say for sure that her first place in the class this time was all thanks to you."

As Chen Ming explained things in an orderly manner, Teacher Wang's heart was in her throat.

"What...what do you care about saying? Believe me or not, I'll call your parents..."

At this moment, all of Teacher Wang's words seemed pale and powerless in front of Chen Ming.

He tried to calm himself down and deal with this tricky situation.

"Chen Ming, since you've mentioned evidence, then please produce solid evidence. If you can't, your accusations are baseless slander, and you should know that I won't let you off easily!"

Teacher Wang looked out the window and door to make sure no one else was there before uttering those harsh words.

"Alright, then let's wait and see."

After leaving those words, Chen Ming turned and left.

But it planted a deep thorn in Teacher Wang's heart.

After returning to the classroom, Chen Ming went straight to his seat. Upon seeing this, Li Yu quickly came over.

"Old Wang called you to his office, but he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Chen Ming shook his head: "What can a grown man like him do to me? It's just that this time, some people are completely out of luck with being selected as civil servants."

After saying this, Li Yu followed Chen Ming's gaze and looked at Zhao Rou.

The next second, Zhao Rou let out a soft sob and buried her face in her arms on the table, crying as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing this, Chen Ming and Li Yu stopped paying attention.

However, Yu Chuang took the opportunity to offer a few words of comfort.

"Rou'er, are you alright? Did that brat Chen Ming provoke you again?"

Seeing Zhao Rou still sobbing softly while slumped over the table, Yu Chuang could only clench his fists tightly.

"Rou'er, don't worry, your brother Chuang will never allow anyone to bully you. I'll teach that guy a lesson."

After saying that, Yu Chuang was already imagining himself rescuing a damsel in distress.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Rou raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Yu Chuang. Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Brother Yu Chuang, thank you, but I'm really fine. I'm just feeling a little sad."

Upon seeing this, Yu Chuang frowned. He knew that Zhao Rou was always strong-willed and would not easily shed tears in front of others.

He gently comforted her, "Rou'er, don't cry. Tell me if you have any grievances, and I will definitely help you get justice."

Zhao Rou shook her head, trying to calm herself down, and said softly, "It's really nothing, it's just that being misunderstood really hurts."
