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 LĂč Yueâan 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; nobody could touch them now.
To think, Lu Ning actually wanted to involve the principal.
âLu Ning! YouâŠâ
He still wanted to bicker with her, but Lu Ning suddenly whipped out her phone. âHey, Teacher Lang, guess what? I actually have the principalâs contact information! So thereâs no need for you to call him, I can do it.â
In a heartbeat, Teacher Lang lunged over to snatch her phone.
âWait a minute!â
However, Huo Jinyan fished the cell phone from her handâand he missed.
Teacher Lang looked at Huo Jinyan holding her phone, and gritted his teeth; he no longer had the courage to snatch it.
Glaring at Lu Ning, he knew that she would definitely not let the matter rest. However, he could not allow his studentsâ 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.
âLu Ning, Iâll let you off this time. Now that the test paper is gone, thereâs no evidence to show that youâve cheated. So donât you go crazy and implicate other students!
âLetâs drop this matter. But to make it clear, Iâm 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.
âGo! Back to class.
With a large wave of his hand, he brought his students out, wanting to get them back to class. He could not wait to end this farce which he had desperately been trying to instigate from the start.
âHold it!â
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 Class 9, and they rowdily streamed into the office.
The group of students blocked the exit of the office, and they watched Teacher Lang, LĂč Yueâan, and the others who were about to leave.
âWhat are you doing?! Are you trying to revolt?!â
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 rebutted, âTeacher Lang, we i re long out of the Great Qing dynasty, get with the times. Youâre not the emperor, and weâre not your subjects.
âOur classmate has been framed, and we just want to hear the truth; and yet this means weâre trying to revolt?
âDonât get so worked up. Weâre just sitting in on the hearing. Youâre not some criminal, so why should you be feeling guilty?â
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.
âLu Ning, just what is it that you want?!â
Teacher Lang turned to look at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning stood up, an innocent expression on her face.
ââYou shouldnât be asking me what it is that I want, Teacher Lang. Rather, the one you should ask is the instigator. This didnât start because of me.â
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. Iâm not the instigator. They clearly said that this matter definitely wonât implicate me, so how did they see through everything now?!
I canât have this blemish on my record! No one else must know about this!
