Chapter 1221: Courting Death
It turns out that the worst-case scenario wasn’t both sides suffering losses. It was that… Ye Jian was fine and his daughter was in trouble!
When he heard his daughter’s cries, Ye Zhifan’s heart sank. It’s not fair. Why… Even the armed police are here. They even invited a famous leader in the mathematics world of the Southern Province. It’s not fair… What else was not fair?
He glanced at Ye Ying and then at Ye Jian. He felt uncomfortable.
“Mr. Ye, Ye Ying broke the rules in the examination hall and targeted Provincial No.1 Middle School’s student, Ye Jian. After an investigation, we found out that Ye Ying deliberately slandered Ye Jian. Thus, it is decided that Ye Ying will score a zero for her math results.”
He had invited the parent over just to inform him and let him know what mistake his child had made and what punishment she would receive for it.
Ye Ying’s complaints of it not being fair were not entertained.
Ye Zhifan sat down and asked with a cold expression, “Have you investigated clearly? As a parent, do I have the right to ask what happened?” Ye Zhifan was unwilling to let his daughter’s future be ruined.
“Let’s play the recording to Mr. Ye.” The leader of the Provincial Education Bureau nodded slightly at an armed police officer. Then, he saw the armed police officer take out a voice recorder from his green messenger bag and played the conversation that they had while examining the exam papers.
“…sealed the papers in advance… answered all the questions… I’d rather believe the answers on this paper than the answers on the note…”
Ye Zhifan, who picked out on the main points, clenched his fists secretly. No wonder his daughter lost! Who would have thought that she would finish everything in advance?
“Why are my results invalid but Ye Jian is fine? Why, why?”
Ye Ying’s sharp voice came from the recorder. Ye Zhifan’s knuckles turned white from how hard he was clenching his fist and his expression changed. This sentence… this sentence… was the biggest misstep! It also became the most direct evidence at the same time!
Fool, fool!
Ye Ying was stunned when she heard her voice again. Why did they record everything?
“This is the latter part. I wonder if Mr. Ye still needs to listen to the former part?” The leader of the Provincial Education Bureau thundered, “Five minutes before Mr. Ye came in, I received a call from the provincial office. Even the governor has personally asked about this matter. As a provincial government official, shouldn’t Mr. Ye personally explain this to the governor?”
What?
The governor personally asked!
How did the cheating of two people’s university entrance examination alert the governor?
Ye Zhifan was shocked. He immediately made a decision and said in a deep voice, “I didn’t discipline her properly. I was careless and caused Ye Ying to make a huge mistake. To be honest, although Ye Ying and Ye Jian are cousins, they have a deep grudge. Sometimes, as a parent, I can’t do anything.”
“Dad!” Hearing this, Ye Ying raised her voice as if she realized something. She screamed, “What are you trying to say? You…”
“Shut up!” For the sake of his career, Ye Zhifan would not allow Ye Ying to speak again. “Only one of the subjects is invalid now. You’d better take the rest of the exams properly! If you do anything else, I will teach you a lesson!”
The expression on his face was so heartless that Ye Jian smiled. In her past life, she knew that Ye Zhifan would forsake his family for his career.
If even the governor knew about this, would Ye Zhifan stand up for his daughter? Unless he had the confidence to make the governor believe him. Obviously, he didn’t at this moment.
Thus, he couldn’t help Ye Ying distort the truth.
