“Ying’s Limbs
Although there were only three minutes left until the end of the Examination, before getting up and leaving the Self-study Hall, Su Wanli still couldn’t resist and gave her a bright smile.
Cheating during the exam?
Even if everyone in the whole school was cheating, Meng Huange would never do such a thing.
Not to mention, it was just the Opening Exam, nothing worth making a fuss about. Besides, Meng Huange had already practiced the Opening Exam questions from previous years countless times. She didn’t need any cheat sheets to recall the answers; she could recite most of the questions with ease!
Yet now, someone dared to swear up and down that there was a cheat note in Meng Huange’s pencil case. What a brazen lie…
Su Wanli let out a cold chuckle and was about to casually add a word or two, then let Meng Huange deal with this trivial matter on her own.
There was so little time left until class ended. The regular Teaching Building and the Examination site had both been turned upside down by her and her. Even if she just needed to find one more cheater, it wasn’t an easy task…
However, just as Su Wanli’s gaze moved toward Meng Huange’s desk, she happened to see Meng Huange pulling out a rather wrinkled White Paper Slip from her own pencil case.
Judging from Meng Huange’s expression, it seemed she was just as surprised as Su Wanli.
In that moment, countless conjectures raced through Su Wanli’s mind.
How, how could this be? Why was there really a slip inside? Was it planted by some contemptible person?
A setup? A False Accusation? But why?
Meng Huange had never provoked anyone at the academy so far, except herself. Who else would hate her so much, to use such a cheap trick?
Su Wanli clenched her teeth, eyes fixed on the male student who stood up to accuse Meng Huange.
Was this nameless passerby really acting of his own accord? Of course not, judging from his nervous, fidgety manner, he was definitely not the mastermind behind this.
If there was anyone who had just been exposed by Meng Huange and still had the nerve to risk retaliation, and enough power to influence the murky waters of the second-year class…
The Self-study Hall was not without hints. Not long ago, even the System had given her a clear warning.
“Your series of actions have led to severe consequences: Bai Hongwei saw the Heroine, Meng Huange, ahead of time, and has developed a deep sense of disgust toward her, adding more unpredictability to Meng Huange’s campus life ahead.”
Bai Hongwei.
So that’s it. While she and Meng Huange were eating in the cafeteria, he not only went to the Guidance Office to report Li Zhengqi and exposed his crimes, but also managed to arrange this little surprise on top of it?
It’s not for nothing that he’s considered on par with herself in the System’s eyes, playing the role of the Young Miss as the public antagonist, while this guy serves as the shadowy opposition behind the scenes.
But this Bai Hongwei had so many methods at his disposal, and yet, in such a short time, he used such a clumsy False Accusation?
Su Wanli took a deep breath, gently curling the corners of her lips.
It was likely because of what the System had previously stated: “We must enter the corresponding Scene Node within the Task’s time limit.”
[As the Young Miss Su Wanli, your main Task in this initial stage is to plant evidence and falsely accuse others.]
Our faction’s Mission is planting evidence and making False Accusations, not righteous pointing out of the culprit.
[As for the Heroine, Meng Huange, her most important role is to withstand pressure and achieve outstanding, dazzling results in the Examination, and to overcome the Rumors that follow.]
And the Heroine must overcome the groundless Rumors after the False Accusation.
…So this is the world line’s automatic correction.
If she had chosen to directly frame Meng Huange at the time, the outcome would naturally have been as the plot intended. If she chose to round up and expose fifty others, then at that point, Meng Huange would surely step in to help her. Even in that case, there would still be a high chance of the blame falling onto Bai Hongwei, and he would naturally become the one to be accused of framing Meng Huange.
Such an intricate Stage, so precisely arranged.
To expose the clumsy plot of this puppet in front of her was quite simple: Meng Huange had practiced these questions countless times and had no need to use underhanded means to improve her grades. Even if she just threw all her Notebooks at his head, the evidence of the White Paper Slip would pale in comparison.
Besides, there was full Surveillance in the back of the Classroom. As for who placed the slip in Meng Huange’s pencil case and when, they could just check the recordings to find out.
However, her biggest problem right now was time.
While Su Wanli was mired in pondering the Examination, there was simply no time to go out and look for another cheater.
So, this is how it is…
The System had remained silent all along, but Su Wanli instantly realized what it was trying to convey.
Go ahead, Host, become the one to push Meng Huange out.
This is a Mission that can be completed by accusing just one person. The Stage is ready for you; Meng Huange has already been doubted.
Even with all the shoddy evidence and testimony, as long as you speak up, Meng Huange will never deny it, and she will become the final piece of your Mission.
That’s right, all of this was orchestrated by Bai Hongwei, but the one who could actually implement this False Accusation now was none other than Su Wanli herself.
There was only a little more than a minute left. The students who needed to turn in their papers had already done so. There was simply no way she could find another cheater in time, and now, the best chance to complete the Mission was right in front of her.
The right time, the right place, and the right people.
…Fine, you’ve truly given me the most convenient way to finish, almost as automatic as that time on the second morning when I completed the Mission of exposing Meng Huange. But…
My dear Young Miss Supporting System, do you know how much thought and effort I spent just to make sure Meng Huange wouldn’t be labeled a cheater? How much energy did I pour in?
Even if, in the future, I truly join hands with Bai Hongwei and become one of those who suppress Meng Huange, it absolutely will not be now.
I will never let all my hard work be wasted.
Su Wanli rose from her desk, cast a cold glance at the boy, then walked to Meng Huange’s side.
Meng Huange, just as always, gently raised her head and gave Su Wanli a serene smile, as if everything was within her control.
She was telling her not to worry, that she could handle everything.
But Meng Huange, of course you wouldn’t know what kind of problem I truly need to solve right now.
Su Wanli calmed herself, took the White Paper Slip from Meng Huange’s pencil case into her own hand, and then slowly raised it into the air—
“Everyone, attention.”
“This is mine.”
