Zheng Anyang’s face immediately darkened when looking at the crowd. “I didn’t see you were so highly motivated in your daily studies. Now you don’t allow yourself to lag behind when causing trouble!”

The sarcastic remark made many people present lower their heads.

“Principal, we don’t have any other intentions.” Qian Gumeng stood up. “We just have some questions, so we want the school to remove our doubts. We don’t intend to cause trouble. We just want the truth.”

Zheng Anyang looked around, then his gaze fell on Qian Gumeng and Ye Xiyuan who were standing in front. He didn’t know which one of the two instigated trouble.

Sensing Zheng Anyang’s dissatisfaction, Ye Xiyuan stepped forward with an apologetic smile on her face. “Principal, I’m sorry. It’s all our fault. We didn’t suspect anyone, and we didn’t come to disturb you on purpose. We’ll leave immediately.”

She looked so natural and generous that it made people think that she didn’t want to come over in the first place. She just couldn’t dissuade her friend and was dragged here.

“Xiyuan, Ye Leng’an stole the championship from you. How can you still be so calm?” Qian Gumeng looked disappointed. “You are just here to seek justice. What are you afraid of? Why do you have to apologize?”

After saying that, she pulled Ye Xiyuan over and stood in front of her. Then, she looked at Zheng Anyang and said, “Principal, I hope that you can thoroughly investigate Ye Leng’an’s cheating scandal. I believe that is also what the students present all want.”

Zheng Anyang didn’t directly answer Qian Gumeng’s question. Instead, he asked, “You said that Ye Leng’an cheated. Where’s the evidence?”

Qian Gumeng was lost for words for a moment, but she quickly said, “Ye Leng’an’s normal grades are proof. One can progress in his or her studies, but it is impossible to advance by leaps and bounds like this. Therefore, it is reasonable for me to suspect that Ye Leng’an cheated.”

“Why can’t she have rapid progress?” Zheng Anyang looked unsettled. “Furthermore, you don’t have any evidence at all now. Everything was said by you. Do you think it’s possible to require the school to have a thorough investigation just based on your suspicion?”

Hearing Zheng Anyang’s words, Qian Gumeng was a little anxious. “Principal, you can’t shield Ye Leng’an!”

Her remark made Zheng Anyang’s gloomy face look even more clouded. He looked at Qian Gumeng with impatience. “You want an investigation, right?

Fine.”

Not only Qian Gumeng but also the other students who came with her couldn’t help but smile at Zheng Anyang’s reply. They thought that the principal was about to fly into a rage judging from the look on his face. They didn’t expect that the principal agreed directly. This was really a pleasant surprise!

The corners of Ye Xiyuan’s lips curled up into a triumphant smile when no one else noticed.

However, before everyone could be happy, what Zheng Anyang said next made everyone’s floating hearts immediately sink.

“What if it turns out that Ye Leng’an didn’t cheat?” Zheng Anyang looked at the students and said, “Then what you did today will be slander against your classmate. According to the school rules, anyone who slanders a classmate should be punished. Are you ready for the punishment?”

Instantly, the entire place fell silent. Many of them had the intention to retreat, and they all regretted coming to the principal’s office so rashly today.

Qian Gumeng didn’t speak out sternly from a sense of justice as before, and she looked a little annoyed.

She did feel that Ye Leng’an had cheated to get first place. However, in reality, she wasn’t confident either. Besides, whether Ye Leng’an cheated or not had nothing to do with her. She didn’t even participate in the qualifier. If she was punished for this in the end, it would really not be worth it.

Thinking of this, Qian Gumeng didn’t speak anymore. She even lowered her head, trying to make herself invisible.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Ye Xiyuan didn’t show a sign of emotion on her face but felt extremely frustrated in her heart to see that. Even when she saw Qian Gumeng beside her, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted.

Qian Gumeng talked with righteous indignation just now, but when she heard that she might be punished, she didn’t dare to say anything. Qian Gumeng said that she was Ye Xiyuan’s good sister and wanted to seek justice for her. It was simply a joke.

Qian Gumeng wasn’t even willing to help Ye Xiyuan with such a small matter and even wanted Ye Xiyuan to help matchmake her and Li Deze. She was really a wishful thinker.

The whole thing was about to be over quietly when Zhao Yanran who had been watching from the side stepped forward. She looked at Qian Gumeng with ridicule. “Qian Gumeng, weren’t you the loudest just now? Why are you all mute now?”

How could she let go of such an opportunity to belittle Qian Gumeng? She was in the dark before, but now she and Qian Gumeng were enemies.

“Zhao Yanran, what does this have to do with you?” Qian Gumeng snapped at Zhao Yanran, “Who do you think you are to criticize me here?”

She didn’t expect Zhao Yanran to come forward at this time. She didn’t have much interaction with Zhao Yanran. If there really was, it was because they all hated Ye Leng’an. In this case, the two of them could be considered to be on the same side. However, Zhao Yanran’s remark was clearly targeting her.

Thinking of this, Qian Gumeng couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xiyuan beside her.

She had heard about the grudge between Ye Xiyuan and Zhao Yanran. However, Xiyuan told her that it was just a misunderstanding and Zhao Yanran just didn’t want to listen to anyone else’s explanation. Did Zhao Yanran come out to provoke her at this time because of Xiyuan?

“I don’t want to interfere in your matters!” Zhao Yanran was full of disdain. “I just think that a villain like you is really funny. Ye Xiyuan, take a look. Is this your so-called good sister? She kept saying that she wanted to seek justice for you, but now that she heard that there might be punishment, she immediately cowered. Looks like your friendship is really fragile!”

Qian Gumeng was a little anxious when she heard such a provocative remark. She looked at Ye Xiyuan and quickly explained, “Xiyuan, I didn’t… I…’

For a moment, she did not know how to explain.

“Gumeng, you don’t need to explain.” Ye Xiyuan raised an understanding smile. “We are in the wrong this time. We can’t suspect Leng’an based on mere speculation. Perhaps after Leng’an left the Ye family, she made great efforts to study to achieve such good results! We have to look on the bright side of everything..”
