English Novel
Chapter 38
C38 – The News
“What happened?” Zhao Hao asked, turning his attention to Qi Ning upon hearing rumors of cheating.
As soon as he laid eyes on Qi Ning, his frown intensified.
He was familiar with Qi Ning, a name that often came up due to his notoriously poor academic performance. Qi Ning’s reputation for struggling with his grades was well-known throughout the school, and he was frequently the subject of ridicule from both teachers and students.
Cao Faang, unable to contain her excitement, recounted the entire incident.
“Did you actually cheat?” Zhao Hao asked Qi Ning, his face stern.
Qi Ning could tell by Zhao Hao’s expression that he had already taken Cao Faang’s words to heart.
“I didn’t!” Qi Ning asserted, his tone defiant.
Zhao Hao was visibly irritated by Qi Ning’s demeanor. Students usually showed him respect, but Qi Ning’s attitude suggested a lack of regard for his authority.
“If you didn’t cheat, then why would Ms. Cao make such a claim?” Zhao Hao questioned, clearly skeptical.
Qi Ning shot a glance at Cao Faang and retorted with annoyance, “Perhaps she’s jealous of me!”
“Jealous of you?” Cao Faang snapped, losing her composure.
Zhao Hao gestured for Cao Faang to remain calm and addressed Qi Ning with a note of irritation in his voice, “Why would she accuse only you of cheating? Remember, it takes two to make a noise.”
The comment made Qi Ning feel nauseous with indignation.
Suppressing the impulse to slap Zhao Hao, he responded with impatience, “Since you’re convinced I cheated, why don’t you propose a solution?”
Qi Ning was not afraid to confront Zhao Hao physically, but he feared the consequences. He was well aware that such an action could lead to expulsion, and without the wealth and influence of someone like Fu Nian, his only option was to endure.
Zhao Hao gave Qi Ning a contemptuous sneer. “Since your teacher has concluded you cheated, we can simply nullify your exam results. We’ll announce how we plan to resolve this during next week’s school assembly.”
With that, Zhao Hao turned on his heel and headed for his office.
“Wait,” Qi Ning called out, stopping Zhao Hao in his tracks.
Zhao Hao paused, looking down at Qi Ning with disdain.
As Qi Ning pondered his next move, he issued a veiled threat, “If you’re looking for some scandalous headlines on the internet tomorrow, go ahead and cancel my results.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao’s face remained expressionless.
He scoffed, “Weird news on the internet? What can you possibly do to me?”
“‘Tyrannical Director Bullies Impoverished Student!’ I bet that headline would be quite the shocker!” Qi Ning said with a cold smirk.
Zhao Hao replied with scorn, “Nobody’s going to believe your story.”
Qi Ning showed a nonchalant expression. “Whether or not people believe it, I’m certain that this story will stir up quite a commotion tomorrow.”
“By then, your higher-ups will surely feel pressured to come and inspect our school’s actual conditions.”
“When that time comes, I’ll just tell the truth. Can you guess what happens next?”
As Qi Ning finished speaking, Zhao Hao felt a sudden chill as cold sweat began to trickle down his back.
