Chapter 359: You Really Are Audacious Beyond Measure

Not finding anything there, she moved to the principal’s desk, noticing the drawer was locked. She had no choice but to take out a screwdriver to pry the lock open again.

But just as she was halfway through, the office lights suddenly turned on: "What are you doing?"

Qiu Qingmei, absorbed in the lock, didn’t hear the noises outside.

Moreover, He Jinxuan had already instructed everyone to tread lightly, so it was natural she didn’t hear anything.

Upon seeing who had come in, Qiu Qingmei panicked completely: "I, I, I’m not, not doing anything?"

Not only were there public security officers and people from the security department of the Mechanical Factory, but also Principal Feng and Director Qiao from the education department. Her mind froze, and she started trembling all over with fright.

The two officers at the front stepped forward and pulled her up from the floor, a couple of clicks were heard, and handcuffs were placed on her wrists.

Qiu Qingmei broke down immediately: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please don’t arrest me, I’m begging you."

Principal Feng, with a stern face, asked harshly, "Qiu, can you explain what you’re doing here in the middle of the night?"

Flustered, Qiu Qingmei didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t possibly admit that she was here to steal Han Xinyan’s acceptance letter: "I, I, I don’t know, maybe I was sleepwalking, yes, I have sleepwalking disorder."

Director Qiao sneered from the side: "Why not say you have a mental illness? Then you wouldn’t have to take responsibility. You really dare to pull the sleepwalking card, huh."

While Director Qiao lectured Qiu Qingmei, Principal Feng had already started inspecting the office, followed by an officer making a note.

Upon seeing the damaged lock on the desk, Principal Feng got angry: "Qiu Qingmei, you really are audacious."

He will not forget what this student did on the first day of the college entrance exam that almost affected everyone’s exams; now, she’s daring enough to do such things again. Not only does she bring disgrace to her family, but the school’s education has evidently failed, producing such a morally lacking student—truly disgraceful.

The officer escorting Qiu Qingmei spoke up at this moment: "It’s getting late, take note of the damages, everyone should go home and rest, we’ll take her back to the station first."

Qiu Qingmei, being pulled out, wanted to shout, but the officer escorting her threatened: "It’s the middle of the night, your voice can carry far. If you’re not afraid of embarrassment, go ahead and shout."

Hearing this, Qiu Qingmei instantly froze in place, realizing she was finished.

Principal Feng agreed with the officers that the matter should not be made public today. Everything would be discussed after Han Xinyan received her acceptance letter and after the school’s commendation assembly the next day.

As for the Qiu Family, the security department of the factory would naturally go to communicate with them.

Reporters from the province and city were coming for an interview; at this moment, Qiu Qingmei’s matter must not be exposed, or else the school’s reputation would be at stake.

Thinking of this, Principal Feng became even more displeased with this troublesome student.

The next morning, just after finishing her military boxing exercises in the courtyard, Xinyan heard Ye Siyan’s voice: "Uncle, has Sister Xinyan woken up yet?"

Ye Silai glanced at his brother: "You’re up, what do you think about Sister Xinyan getting up yet?"

Ye Siyan pouted and said: "Didn’t Uncle say yesterday that Sister Xinyan was tired from a day of travel, so it’s possible she’d wake up later."

Ye Silai didn’t expect his brother to be clever this time, so he didn’t retort back.

Xinyan opened the door: "Little Siyan, you’ve improved a lot, getting smarter!"

Hearing Xinyan’s words, Ye Siyan dashed over: "Sister Xinyan, I’ve missed you, did you miss me?"

Xinyan laughed as she hugged the little one rushing towards her: "Of course I did, I even brought you a gift."

Ye Siyan was even happier now: "Really?"

Xinyan looked at her with a smile, cupping his little face in her hands: "Of course it’s true, when have I ever lied to you?"

He Jinxuan watched their interaction and lightly cleared his throat: "Let’s go inside first."

Xinyan saw the basket in his hand: "What did you bring?"

He Jinxuan opened the basket: "I’ve improved recently, let me show you."

Seeing the contents inside, she playfully said, "Alright, I’ll be watching expectantly then."
