  “I’ll call her over.” Yang Lianfeng got up to walk out of the office and went straight to class 22.

  When he arrived, everyone in the class sat up straight.

  But then they saw that Yang Lianfeng came empty handed and did not have the results with him.

  Yang Lianfeng ignored everyone and went straight for Qiao Qing. He tapped on her desk, “Come to my office for a second.”


  Qiao Qing sighed at this. She put down the book she was reading and followed him.

  All the other students exchanged glances with each other. None of them had any idea as to why they wanted Qiao Qing there alone.

  Based on the serious expression Yang Lianfeng had, they all felt worried and unsettled.

  After Qiao Qing got to the office, he sat in his seat. He didn’t get to the point right away, “You placed first in the grade for this exam.”


  Qiao Qing expressed no emotions and only responded with a faint, “Oh.”


  “Oh? Shouldn’t you be red in the face? You have the ability to place first? You dare to say you didn’t cheat?”


  Liang Min spoke out and then looked over to everyone, “What evidence do we need? A person who regularly places bottom 3 just placed first on an exam – there is no way that person would react the same way you would when finding out they just placed first.”


  All the other teachers agreed to this with a nod.

  Yang Lianfeng ignored Liang Min and only stared at Qiao Qing, “You heard it. Other teachers suspect you cheated. Do you have any way to prove you answered these questions yourself?”


  Qiao Qing replied, “There were surveillance cameras at the exam centers. You can look at the recordings.”


  Liang Min giggled, “You are telling us to go look at surveillance videos? You didn’t cheat by bringing in notes then. You could’ve memorized answers beforehands. Your problem is your intelligence, not your memory. Why are you trying to deceive with surveillance recordings?!”


  The physics teacher thought about it and suggested, “Isn’t there a second version of the all-round competition exams? Why not let her do that one here?”


  “No need.” Jiang Huixun said, “Even if she completes that one, you would still accuse her of getting her hands on the solutions beforehand. How about all of you come up with a question for your specific subject? Make your questions difficult. We can see if she can answer those.”


  The math teacher slapped his hands, “Good idea!”


  Yang Lianfeng looked over to Liang Min, “Ms. Liang?”


  “Sure!” Liang Min laughed proudly, “If you admitted it right away, then all is forgivable. But since you are begging for us to slap you in the face, then we won’t go easy!”


  “Alright, then every subject come up with 5 questions.” Yang Lianfeng glanced at his watch and continued, “There are still four hours until school’s over. I can treat you all to lunch so you shouldn’t need to worry about time. Come up with questions as hard as possible. Teachers who teach the same subject can work together.”


  “She scored perfect in all of your subjects. But for literature, she fell short of 60 points so I won’t come up with anything.”


  He expressed some unpleasant emotions when he spoke the latter half of his sentence.

  The teachers didn’t object. After all, it wasn’t easy to come up with literature questions on the spot.

  To test her skill, the other 5 subjects were enough.

  After Yang Lianfeng made the decision, the teachers got busy.

  The clock turned and turned. After a whole three hours, the group of teachers finally placed their pencils down.

  Zhang Dejun came up with his questions, “Mr. Wang and I incorporated all the difficult theories and knowledge points into the first three questions. The fourth question is an extension of the question I failed to solve on the practice exam. I even added some extra spice to it. If she solves the problem based on memorization, there is no way she can solve this one.”


  “As for the fifth question, I got it from a university professor from when I went to listen to his lecture at the University of the Capital City. I promise that only him and I have seen this question. Back then, he had to explain to me three times for me to understand how to solve it.”


  “The combination of these five questions are definitely much harder than the practice exam.”


  “Don’t blame me for giving you a hard time. After all, if you truly solved all the problems on the practice exam, then you know more than me. I want to try and see just how capable you are.”
