Lu Chengzhou looked up expressionlessly at the news on the phone. Then, he frowned slightly. Seeing his att.i.tude, Qin Fang was stunned.
Was he not happy that Gu Mang was the top scorer? She was the top in the nation!
Lu Chengzhou looked away and threw his phone down. Then, he got up and picked up his coat that was spread over the office chair. He put it on and strode out, the ends of his suit jacket fluttering in the air.
Qin Fang was confused. “Brother Cheng, where are you going?”
“Ming City High School,” he said curtly as he strode out.
He Yidu threw the phone that he was gaming on to Qin Fang. Then, he tugged his collar and went after Lu Chengzhou. Calmly, he said. “Use your brain, something must be up with Gu Mang.”
She had scored zeroes for over ten years yet now she had a perfect score. Such a grade was a threat to many. The school with the greatest results always received the most funds from the country every year. Last year, Experimental High School received two hundred million. Ming City’s first high school received 1.6 hundred million.
It was still unknown as to which school would receive more funds this year. With such eye-catching scores, Ming City High School was bound to receive more than Experimental High School this year. There would definitely be a lot of people reporting on Gu Mang’s results and asking questions. This was just a matter of benefits on the surface but deep down, there are many other people involved. It was likely to be a trending topic soon.
Qin Fang reacted very quickly and he squinted. “Mess with Gu Mang? Probably looking for death.”
He Yidu laughed lightly. “Do you think Gu Mang really scored a perfect or that she cheated?”
Hearing that, Qin Fang rolled his eyes. “We will know once we arrive. Otherwise, she can just retake the paper on the spot.”
The two of them ran after Lu Chengzhou. When they got in the car, Qin Fang looked at Weibo. He saw a trending topic that indicated suspicion about Gu Mang cheating. It was the top topic on trending.
He turned to Lu Chengzhou who was in the back seat. “Brother Cheng, the Ministry of Education’s Investigation Team and the police have all gone to Ming City High School.
Lu Chengzhou’s face turned sullen.
…
In Cla.s.s Twenty.
The worst student in the level was suddenly the top in the entire nation. The whole cla.s.s was very silent. No one could react to it for half the day. When Meng Jinyang saw that Gu Mang had obtained a perfect score, her face flushed with agitation.
Gu Mang was too clever!
So this was what she meant when she said that she did not have to check her grades and could just wait for them to be posted. Little did Qin Yaozhi and Shen Huan know, the top student had been sleeping next to them all along. Lu Yang’s body stiffened as he turned over to look at the big boss who was still sleeping. He was still a child. Why did he have to handle such a great shock? The real monster who was ‘spoiling the market’ turned out to be their Sister Mang.
Fatty turned around and saw that Gu Mang was still sleeping. The corner of his lips twitched. “She’s so calm. Big boss is impressive.”
Just then, Xi Yan entered the cla.s.sroom. Lu Yang saw Xi Yan’s rather pale face and his heart skipped a beat.
What’s going on? Someone in Cla.s.s Twenty was the first in the entire nation. Why does Little Xi’s expression look as if they had produced the worst student in the nation?
Xi Yan stood at the door. “Gu Mang, come out for a while.”
Lu Yang blinked and spoke carefully. “Sister Mang, Little Xi is looking for you.”
Gu Mang opened her eyes slowly and sat straight. There was a tinge of evil in her eyes mixed with some coldness. She uttered a low a.s.sent and she sounded exhausted as if she was not fully awake yet.
The air around her was heavy. She got up and put her two hands in her pockets. Then, she walked out of the back door towards the front door.
Xi Yan looked at Gu Mang who seemed downcast. Then, she bit her lip and frowned as she spoke. “Gu Mang, the Ministry of Education’s investigation team and the police are here.”
