Jiang Ling’er’s assertive demeanor brought great satisfaction to Old Master Jiang.

“That’s right. Do you have any evidence?” Wen Nuan asked, smiling. “I did provide the information, but I won’t take responsibility for leaking the answers.”

“Open it now,” Jiang Ling’er demanded.

The sealed bag was opened without any signs of tampering. Its contents revealed no similar questions, let alone answers.

The dean appeared bewildered. The person who reported the incident insisted that there was an answer, yet this information had no relation to the exam. The dean said, Old Master Jiang smiled and said, “Young comrade, you have the freedom to speak, but you must bear the consequences if you say something false.”

The dean felt a pang of guilt but considering his allegiance to the Li family, he said sternly, “Old Master Jiang, 1 understand your influential background, but our school has a zero-tolerance policy for cheating.”

“You seem quite sure. Do you have any evidence?” Old Master Jiang mocked. “Framing someone could land you in jail.”

“Your granddaughter’s previous academic performance couldn’t have been so exceptional. Isn’t it suspicious?” the dean forced himself to say. “Even if she started studying diligently now, it would be impossible to progress so dramatically.”

Jiang Ling’er inwardly mocked the stubbornness of the dean.

“Alright, let’s inform the media right away. I refuse to take the blame for cheating. If you want to disqualify me, 1 demand an explanation,” Jiang Ling’er stated.

Wen Nuan took out her phone and said, “I’ll call the media. I can’t bear such a huge responsibility.”

Just as Wen Nuan was about to make the call, the vice-principal interjected, saying, “Wait a minute, there must be a misunderstanding. Let’s continue the investigation.”

“Misunderstanding?” Jiang Ling’er mockingly repeated. “There’s no misunderstanding, only false accusations.”

Although the dean’s perception of Jiang Ling’er had shifted slightly, he still found it hard to believe her sudden rise to the top. The dean said, “Miss Jiang, I don’t want to say this, but you used to be quite different. You emerged in the first place so suddenly, do you expect us to believe it?”

Jiang Ling’er gazed coldly at the dean. She would never let go of Bai Xue’s pawn so easily. “Since the dean is so insistent, we must thoroughly investigate this matter. If I’m found innocent in the end, you’ll have to leave this school.”

Jiang Ling’er’s arrogance ruffled the dean, who retorted, “How dare you speak to your teacher like that. You’re truly ill-mannered.”

“Do you have any manners?” Old Master Jiang coldly questioned. “Aren’t you falsely accusing others without evidence right now?”

The dean was rendered speechless.

The dean felt a sense of guilt. Without evidence, he couldn’t be sure if it was a false accusation. Now that Old Master Jiang had spoken up, the dean fell silent.

With a somber expression, Old Master Jiang stated, “Now you’re silent? After accusing my granddaughter of cheating without any evidence and suppressing her voice?”

The dean hadn’t expected the gentle old man to suddenly become so assertive.

“Jiang Hua, contact the media immediately and make this matter public. Let the Education Bureau conduct a thorough investigation. 1 want to know who is maliciously targeting my granddaughter from behind,” Old Master Jiang declared.

As he spoke, Old Master Jiang stared at the dean coldly. He continued, “This is clearly a false accusation. 1’11 make you pay!”

The dean panicked. Despite the backing of the Li family, the relationship between the Li family and the Jiang family was strong. If something actually happened, the Li family wouldn’t protect him.

There was also Bai Xue. She held a grudge against the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and might have sought to discredit Jiang Ling’er. Contemplating this, the dean found himself in a difficult situation, sweating profusely.

“Old Master Jiang, please calm down. Dean, please wait a moment,” the vice-principal intervened.

Glancing at the dean, the vice-principal said, “Dean, is it true? Are you making baseless claims without evidence?”

Jiang Ling’er smiled. She had swiftly shifted the target to the dean.

“Are you saying that the only way for my granddaughter to not be accused of cheating is for her to score poorly?” Old Master Jiang inquired.

The vice-principal was taken aback. He thought, ‘Who could have known that your granddaughter was such a skilled actor?’

“Grandpa, don’t get angry because of outsiders and their non-existent accusations,” Jiang Ling’er remarked.

Wen Nuan chimed in, “Ling’er, you’re just too forgiving. In the face of such bullying, you can still remain so composed..”
