With each declaration she looked towards someone, and everyone she looked at was shaken up.
The tables had completely turned.
Qian Qian turned to look at Lù Yue’an beside her; she was also at a loss.
She had no idea what to do.
Lu Ning did not look like she would let the matter rest.
At this juncture, Teacher Lang had also sensed the change in the balance of the scales; he looked at Lu Ning and Huo Jinyan.
The two of them sat there, appearing like two Buddhas; n.o.body could touch them now.
To think, Lu Ning actually wanted to involve the princ.i.p.al.
“Lu Ning! You…”
He still wanted to bicker with her, but Lu Ning suddenly whipped out her phone. “Hey, Teacher Lang, guess what? I actually have the princ.i.p.al’s contact information! So there’s no need for you to call him, I can do it.”
In a heartbeat, Teacher Lang lunged over to s.n.a.t.c.h her phone.
“Wait a minute!”
However, Huo Jinyan fished the cell phone from her hand—and he missed.
Teacher Lang looked at Huo Jinyan holding her phone, and gritted his teeth; he no longer had the courage to s.n.a.t.c.h it.
Glaring at Lu Ning, he knew that she would definitely not let the matter rest. However, he could not allow his students’ names to be besmirched. He paced to the desk and picked up the test paper which he had used to accuse Lu Ning of cheating; then, he ripped that test paper into pieces.
“Lu Ning, I’ll let you off this time. Now that the test paper is gone, there’s no evidence to show that you’ve cheated. So don’t you go crazy and implicate other students!
“Let’s drop this matter. But to make it clear, I’m the one who let you off the hook!
Even to the bitter end, he was still loath to admit his mistake and even shifted all the blame onto Lu Ning.
“Go! Back to cla.s.s.
With a large wave of his hand, he brought his students out, wanting to get them back to cla.s.s. He could not wait to end this farce which he had desperately been trying to instigate from the start.
“Hold it!”
Huo Jinyan and Lu Ning shouted in unison.
Teacher Lang did not intend to listen and was about to leave with his students in tow.
However, the office door suddenly opened.
Lin Ci had brought all the students of Cla.s.s 9, and they rowdily streamed into the office.
The group of students blocked the exit of the office, and they watched Teacher Lang, Lù Yue’an, and the others who were about to leave.
“What are you doing?! Are you trying to revolt?!”
There were so many people that some of them were pressed against the walls; fortunately, this office was relatively large. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fit so many people in here.
They had been listening at the door for a long time.
Someone at the back of the crowd reb.u.t.ted, “Teacher Lang, we i re long out of the Great Qing dynasty, get with the times. You’re not the emperor, and we’re not your subjects.
“Our cla.s.smate has been framed, and we just want to hear the truth; and yet this means we’re trying to revolt?
“Don’t get so worked up. We’re just sitting in on the hearing. You’re not some criminal, so why should you be feeling guilty?”
The few of them scowled at the people in front of them.
Even if they had wanted to leave, now they would definitely not be able to.
Lu Ning looked at them in surprise; Lin Ci winked at her.
Lu Ning could not help but chuckle.
“Lu Ning, just what is it that you want?!”
Teacher Lang turned to look at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning stood up, an innocent expression on her face.
“‘You shouldn’t be asking me what it is that I want, Teacher Lang. Rather, the one you should ask is the instigator. This didn’t start because of me.”
She walked to the desk; planting her palms on the desk, she lifted her body and sat on it. Her legs swayed in the air, making her look cute, playful and innocent.
Clenching his fists, Teacher Lang glanced at Jiang Yi from the corner of his eyes.
Jiang Yi bit her lip and lowered her head, on the verge of tears. I’m not the instigator. They clearly said that this matter definitely won’t implicate me, so how did they see through everything now?!
I can’t have this blemish on my record! No one else must know about this!
