157 157 It’s too much of a coincidence
As soon as Director Wang said that, the faces of several people in the room changed.
The principal’s eyes were filled with doubt. “The surveillance camera was fine. Why did it suddenly malfunction?”
On the other hand, Madam Li frowned and the uneasiness in her heart grew.
As a teacher, she knew that the surveillance camera in the classroom had long been replaced with a more intelligent network system, where the footage would be uploaded online consistently. It was convenient to check it at any time.
Just now, Director Wang had been hesitant, refusing to check the surveillance cameras. It turned out that the surveillance video had gone missing! However, how could the video that was uploaded to the system suddenly disappear at this time? This was such a…
Madam Li didn’t dare to continue thinking about what had actually happened.
Tan Rou’s mocking voice rang in her ears and Tan Rou was saying what Madam Li did not dare to think about. “Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence? The surveillance cameras usually worked fine but only the one in my exam hall went missing? Plus, after saying that I have cheated, the surveillance cameras suddenly broke down? Even the real-time uploaded video has disappeared?”
Director Wang pretended to be helpless and spread his hands. “It’s indeed a coincidence. I didn’t want this to happen either.”
Tan Rou looked at director Wang’s shameless behaviour and sneered in her heart. It seemed that this was the reason why Director Wang was so confident when he agreed to come to the principal.
Did she think that without the surveillance cameras, the principal would have no choice but to believe the teachers and let her take the blame for cheating with just a small note?
Tan Rou’s eyes flickered and she glanced at Director Wang with a domineering look.
He was too naive!
If it were someone else, he would have deleted the video in advance and there might have been no way to turn the situation around. Unfortunately, they were plotting against Tan Rou. How could Tan Rou be defeated so easily by their tricks?
Director Wang’s eyes met Tan Rou. He turned his head slightly to avoid the principal and sneered at Tan Rou with a smug look in his eyes. “There’s nothing we can do now. You should just admit your mistakes.”
Tan Rou smiled and didn’t panic at all. She didn’t look away and started to compete with Director Wang. “Director Wang, I’m afraid you can’t convince the public with just your words, right?”
Tan Rou looked at the principal. “I think we should check together to see if the surveillance footage is really gone. Even if I’ve been wronged, I can’t be so muddleheaded as to not know anything.”
Tan Rou already had a plan in her heart. As long as Director Wang took the bait and turned on the surveillance system in public, everything would be undeniable.
The principal naturally knew that such a coincidence was too suspicious. Director Wang was an elder in the school. He had been working in the school for many years even before the principal was transferred here. Usually, the principal was unwilling to fix such minor issues. He turned a blind eye to it and retained Director Wang’s reputation.
However, the school was set up for the sake of serving the students and allowing them to have a better future. If Director Wang really maligned the students for his own benefit and secretly did things that would make him lose the most basic virtue of a teacher, there’s no longer the need to continue tolerating him.
The principal raised his hand and tapped lightly on the office table. His tone was serious and did not allow for any refusal. “Director Wang, show us the surveillance footage now so that we can see what has happened. There’s a computer in my office. Let’s turn on the surveillance system in front of everyone here so that they know what is happening as well.”
Director Wang was very confident and wasn’t afraid of being seen. The surveillance video had been deleted. Even if they suspected that this was too big of an issue to be a coincidence, it could only be a suspicion. The principal couldn’t make things difficult for him because of this.
As for Tan Rou, she would never give up until her final sentence. Now that she had seen it for herself, she would then learn how to give up.
Director Wang agreed readily. He walked forward and turned on the computer. He used his codes to log in to the surveillance system.
Tan Rou, the principal, and Madam Li all gathered around. The students outside the door craned their heads, wishing they could squeeze their heads next to the computer.
All the classrooms on the screen were operating normally. Director Wang clicked on the mouse a few times and pulled up the footage in Exam Room D, where Tan Rou was seated. He showed that the footage that the system had automatically uploaded within an hour was all black.
Director Wang sighed helplessly, as if he was sad that the crowd didn’t believe him. However, there was a hint of gloating in his words. “You see, I told you the video really disappeared. It’s really strange!”
After he finished speaking, he put his hands on his hips and mumbled to the computer, “Maybe there’s a system malfunction and the video’s upload failed. Sigh, looks like I’ll have to get someone to fix it!
