Volume 1: Classmate Youth Chapter 19: Li Jianxing's Conspiracy

  Qin Yanran spoke up for Su Lin, which made things difficult. Li Jianxing looked at Peng Shenda's face with a worried expression, furrowing his brow to indicate that he also found it hard to do.

  "Director Li, it was clearly Su Lin who hit me. These few friends of mine can all testify to that. You guys, isn't that right?"

  Peng Shenda's face was filled with annoyance, and Qin Yanran actually really spoke to Su Lin.

  "Right, right, Director Li, it was Su Lin who called Peng Shao..."

  "Teacher Li, it was Su Lin who rushed over and hit Peng Shao."

  "That's right, we were walking along just fine when Su Lin suddenly rushed over."

  A few people lied without blinking, but Qin Yanran couldn't bear it and said to Li Jianxing: "Teacher Li, it's not like that. It was indeed Peng Shendao and others who made trouble for Su Lin..."

  "Alright, stop talking, Su Lin, Peng Shenda. No matter what, you two come with me to the teaching office for a detailed investigation. Everyone else, hurry up and get to class, it's almost time for lessons."

  Li Jianxing's words were enough to show the authority of the Dean of Studies, and with a stern expression, he said in an official tone. Su Lin and Qin Yanran had no way to refute him, and Qin Yanran was worried that Su Lin would be at a disadvantage, wanting to follow Li Jianxing to the Dean's office together, but unexpectedly being stopped by Li Jianxing: "Qin Yanran, your third-year high school exams are about to start, aren't you going back to class for the exam?"

  "But Teacher Li, Su Lin is also in our third year of high school, he's also going to take the exam..."

  "Sulin got into a fight and broke school rules, it must be dealt with first."

  "Teacher Li..."

  Although Qin Yanran's mother was the mayor of Jian'an City, Qin Yanran had never relied on her mother's identity to do anything in school, and even less would argue with teachers, so she could only watch as Su Lin followed Li Jianxing to the counseling office.

  "How's that? Su Lin, I'm telling you not to mess with me. My dad is the director of the Education Bureau, and even the school principal has to give me face. You think you can pursue Yan Ran with your bear-like appearance? Believe it or not, I can make sure you don't even qualify for the college entrance exam..."

  Behind Director Li Jianxing, Peng Shenda loudly said to Su Lin.

  "I am what I am, don't need your evaluation. But at least, Yan Ran said yesterday in front of so many people that as long as I can get into the top 50 of my grade level, he will consider me to be his boyfriend."

  Thinking of Qin Yanran's worried and caring appearance just now, Su Lin felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that it was worth doing anything for her, no matter how hard he tried, it was already enough.

  "You're still talking tough, just wait and see when you'll be speechless."

  Arriving at the office of the Dean of Studies, Li Jianxing's face was stern, and with the exam time approaching, he surprisingly let Peng Shenda go take the exam first, but made Su Lin stay behind, standing in front of his desk, staring at Su Lin fiercely.

  "Are you Su Lin from Class 3(2)? Hmph... your mock exam results weren't good last time, and yet you still dare to fight openly at the school gate?"

  Li Jianxing, a middle-aged man with a stern expression, picked up the summary sheet of the previous mock exam results and saw Su Lin's overall ranking in the entire grade of over 700 students. He slapped his desk and scolded, "School is a place for learning, as a student, your only task is to study hard and improve your grades. The college entrance examination is approaching, instead of focusing on studying and getting into a good university, you're bullying your classmates everywhere? According to the school's regulations, fighting and violence are serious offenses, I'm going to give you a major demerit. Next Monday at the flag-raising ceremony, I'll publicly criticize you in front of the whole school."

  Coughing, Li Jianxing picked up a neutral pen and circled and drew on the attendance sheet. He picked up his water cup and took a sip, just as he was about to scold Su Lin a few more times, the phone in his pocket rang.

  "It's settled then, you go take your test first! And no more fighting from now on..."

  Li Jianxing's face flashed with excitement as he looked at the incoming call display on his phone, and he couldn't help but dismiss Su Lin with a single sentence.

  "Bad luck! If I get two major demerits, my school will cancel my enrollment and I won't be able to take the college entrance exam. With Peng Shenda's personality, he'll definitely retaliate against me and get me two major demerits. I need to think of a way out."

  Just as Su Lin was about to return to the classroom for class, he heard Li Jianxing's phone conversation. Li Jianxing, who had always been arrogant among students, was surprisingly so humble when answering this call, which made Su Lin interested in this call. As a result, Su Lin also deliberately slowed down his footsteps and hid at the door to eavesdrop without Li Jianxing noticing.

  "Hey! Liu Shao, I'm Li Jianxing. I'll definitely take care of the things you've entrusted to me. Although this female teacher is not easy to deal with, rest assured that I'll get it done. Once I find the right opportunity, I'll trick her into going to your Jiaxing Hotel, and then... well, you can do as you please..."

  "Hmm! Hold on tight, as a deputy secretary of the Party Committee of a certain university, I can help you with some connections."

  ……

  Ding Dong!

  The bell for class rang, which was also the starting bell for the exam. Su Lin, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, originally wanted to continue listening to see what Li Jianxing's conspiracy was all about. However, if she did that, she might miss the exam. This mock exam was one that Su Lin had boasted about, and she couldn't afford to lose it, so after just getting a general idea, she hastily ran towards the examination room.

  "Just now on the phone, it seems that Li Jianxing is plotting something, wanting to frame one of our school's female teachers. The location seems to be at the most luxurious hotel in the city, Jiaxing Hotel. Ah, I really didn't expect this old dog Li to be so unfriendly to us students and have ulterior motives towards the female teacher..."

  Su Lin seemed to have seen through Li Jianxing a bit more, and as he ran back to the examination room quickly, he thought that if he had the ability, he would definitely think of a way to ruin Li's good fortune and not let him succeed.

  On the other hand, Qin Yanran was worried about Su Lin since she returned to the examination room from the school gate. She was afraid that Director Li Jianxing would make things difficult for Su Lin.

  The bell for class rang, and the proctors had already begun distributing the math test papers. Qin Yanran turned her head to look at Su Lin's empty seat, thinking to herself why Su Lin hadn't returned yet? Suddenly, Qin Yanran became even more anxious.

  At the same time, Tang Zhongwang, who was in the same examination room as Su Lin, was overjoyed. As soon as he entered the school gate, he heard that Su Lin had provoked Xiao Ba Wang Peng Shenda because of yesterday's incident and was blocked at the school gate by him. Looking at Su Lin's empty seat now, Tang Zhongwang almost burst out laughing, thinking to himself: "Su Lin, this little brat, must have been beaten up by Peng Shenda until he's covered in bruises and urine-soaked, it's really satisfying."

  "Yesterday evening, you were so arrogant and said that you must be in the top 50 of the grade, but this morning you might not even show up for the exam. Even if you're as smart as Su Lin and your grades are soaring, if you don't take the math test, what score can you get? Just wait and call me grandpa!"

  Tang Zhongwang was just getting complacent when, in a matter of seconds, Su Lin appeared at the entrance of the examination hall, panting heavily.

  "Sorry, teacher, I'm late."

  Finally made it, Su Lin touched his head and smiled, apologizing to the proctor teacher.

  "Hurry up and come in for the exam, if you're late a few more minutes your qualification will be cancelled."

  The invigilating teacher did not have much prejudice against Su Lin, and after emphasizing the discipline of the examination room, he let Su Lin in.

  "Sū Lín!"

  When she saw Su Lin, Qin Yanran was overjoyed and finally put down the big stone in her heart. However, she also knew that Director Li Jianxing and Peng Shenda were colluding with each other, and they would not let Su Lin go so easily. Had Su Lin already been dealt with by Director Li?

  "No way! This whole thing started because of me, and Peng Shend reached out to Su Lin for trouble. Besides, Su Lin didn't hit anyone, Su Lin was not wrong, he Li Jianxing is the head teacher but can't handle people arbitrarily, Su Lin is innocent. Right, after today's exam, I will go help Su Lin get justice."

  As Su Lin walked past her seat, Qin Yanran surprisingly broke away from her usual indifference and smiled faintly at Su Lin, nodding slightly.

  Qin Yanran smiled at me proactively.

  Sitting in her own seat, Su Lin was secretly delighted to know that for the past three years of high school, she had never heard of Ice Beauty and School Flower Qin Yanran smiling at any boy.

  "Then... does Yanyan really have a good impression of me?"

  Staring at the Arabic numerals on the math test paper, and one difficult question after another, Su Lin supported her head and indulged in wild fancies. Other candidates were all frowning and racing against time to answer questions, while Su Lin still had time to be distracted there.

  "There are still half an hour left before the exam ends, classmates. The difficulty of this exam has increased a lot, and some difficult questions can't be done, so it's better to give up and use more time to check. You should also adopt this strategy during the college entrance examination. First, get the scores that you can get, and then go for the scores of those difficult questions..."

  There are still half an hour before the exam ends, Su Lin's invigilator, who seems to be a math teacher, is quite good and has come up with a friendly reminder. Similarly, his words also awakened Su Lin from her infinite daze.

  "Is there still half an hour left before the exam ends? Okay... then I'll also start answering questions!"

  Su Lin stretched her waist, with a relaxed and contented expression, picked up the black signature pen, smiled slightly, paused time, and quickly ran to Qin Yanran's side. In just a few seconds, she had flipped through all the test papers, and indeed, for Qin Yanran, these math problems were not a problem at all, as she had already neatly written down the correct answers on them.

  "Great! Mission accomplished."

  Before the exam ended, Su Lin looked at his math test paper, which he had filled out for the first time, and felt very satisfied. After the invigilating teacher collected the papers, the students were allowed to leave the classroom. Su Lin walked to the door, considering where to go for lunch, when suddenly someone lightly patted him on the shoulder from behind, and a familiar yet icy voice whispered in his ear, "Su Lin, come here for a moment, I have something to ask you."

  This voice is Qin Yanran, and she actually took the initiative to find me? Su Lin recognized this voice, and his heart was overjoyed.
