“Take her away.”

Ray’ao had seen her admission and didn’t feel like wasting any more words.

“Wh-whimper, I was wrong!”

With cries and sobs, the girl was dragged out.

Ray’ao glanced at the remaining candidates, and at this moment, none of them dared to meet his gaze.

Even those without issues bowed their heads one after another; they had never seen such a scene and were all panicking beyond measure.

“Starting from the back row, one by one, take your belongings and go out for a re-inspection!”

Su Ming was the first to get up, taking his belongings and walked out under Ray’ao’s watch.

At this time, outside the classroom in the corridor, there were soldiers specifically responsible for inspections, and they had even set up sophisticated inspection equipment in the hallway.

With one glance, Su Ming could clearly see students from other examination rooms also being taken out one by one for re-inspection.

Several were caught with cheating devices on the spot and were crying and pleading as they were taken away.

Su Ming watched this scene, his expression growing increasingly interesting. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

He hadn’t expected that in such an important city exam, there would be people daring to cheat, and the number was not small.

Just then, Su Ming suddenly saw Green Hair, who was undergoing an inspection, pushed down by the inspecting officer.

“What is this?”

The soldier demanded sharply.

“I don’t know this thing; it’s not mine.”

Green Hair frantically defended himself.

Unfortunately, it was no use; the inspecting officer declared without any niceties.

“Cheating!”

Upon hearing the verdict, Green Hair wilted like a frost-stricken eggplant, completely done for.

At that moment, Red Hair was also dragged out of the classroom by a soldier, his head hanging down in a resigned manner.

Su Ming saw this and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Those two, Red Hair and Green Hair, had been dumb enough to go astray.

But thinking about it, it made sense; although they had been tutored by Teacher Tang Yan, their baseline scores hovered around 90 points, a substantial distance from the 120-point mark.

Now that both of these guys had been caught, there should be one more.

These three always acted together as peas in a pod, and they would definitely collaborate in their mischief.

Since Yellow Hair wasn’t seen getting caught here, chances were he was at another school’s examination hall.

Thinking this, Su Ming shook his head slightly.

…

Thirteenth District Center·Administrative Building.

Xiao Lie sat in front of his desk, holding a steaming cup of tea, gently blew on the heat and took a sip before saying,

“Alan, what do you think about this year’s city exam?

How many students from the Thirteenth District do you reckon will make it into Imperial Court Academy?”

“This year should be better than previous years.

I’ve heard that Haiheng Academy has produced quite a few geniuses; maybe some can even get into the inner school.”

A woman dressed in an off-white blouse, a black pencil skirt, red high heels, with her long hair tied up and a refined face, replied respectfully.

“Really?

If we truly have students who make it to the inner school, that would be wonderful.”

Xiao Lie responded in a good mood.

Just then, Ye Wei rushed into the office, exclaiming to Xiao Lie,

“Lord Xiao, something terrible has happened.”

Xiao Lie was startled, causing his hand to tremble, and tea splashed out.

Then, somewhat displeased, he said to Ye Wei,

“What’s wrong, why are you in such a panic?”

“The Imperial Court Sect has suddenly appeared and taken over all the examination halls; our security personnel have all been driven out!”

Ye Wei reported breathlessly.

“What did you say; why has the Imperial Court Sect shown up here?”

Xiao Lie slammed his teacup onto the table and asked in a deep voice,

“Sir Xiao, I have no idea why the Imperial Court Sect would be here, but everything is in chaos now.

I’ve heard that many cheating students were caught, especially a lot from the First Academy.

And the students who were caught were all taken away on armed transport vehicles by people from the Imperial Court Sect to Starlight City, and I’ve been told they’re all being sent to the front lines!”

Ye Wei immediately followed up.

As Xiao Lie listened to Ye Wei’s words, his expression changed continuously.

Ye Wei anxiously said to Xiao Lie,

“Sir Xiao, many of the students from the First Academy are the children of important figures in the Thirteenth District.

Being sent to the front lines means almost certain death!”

“What does that have to do with me?

They brought it upon themselves!”

Xiao Lie furiously punched the table and retorted with annoyance.

Seeing Xiao Lie’s great fury, Ye Wei did not dare to speak any further and promptly shut his mouth.

In fact, they were well aware of the cheating scandal.

The Imperial Court Academy was so difficult to get into, and with the limited resources in the Thirteenth District, very few could pass the legitimate exams.

So some powerful individuals decided to take shortcuts and chose to cheat.

They had been turning a blind eye to this affair.

But to their surprise, the Federation had directly deployed the Imperial Court Sect to take over the administration of this city’s examinations, catching everyone red-handed.

At that moment, Alan spoke softly to the furious Xiao Lie,

“Sir Xiao, no matter how unworthy the children are, they are still our children.

You may be angry, but we must find a way to deal with this.”

Ding-a-ling-a-ling~

Right then, the telephone on Xiao Lie’s desk, as well as his cell phone, all started ringing.

Xiao Lie glanced at the incoming call display but did not pick up.

He knew without guessing that these calls were pleas for mercy.

Regrettably, this time was not like the others; he could not influence or intervene with the Imperial Court Sect.

However, Alan’s words still moved him.

Even in his anger, he couldn’t just ignore the situation completely, otherwise, everything here would truly fall into disarray.

So he spoke to Ye Wei,

“Ye Wei, go check!

From our side, which notable person from the Imperial Court Sect is in charge.”

“Right away, sir.”

Ye Wei immediately rushed out in a hurry.

…

Thirteenth District – Interstellar Military Airport Area.

A four-level battleship, the Fish Pig, ten kilometers long with a bulbous hull covered in smooth grey armor, was situated here.

Inside the ship’s command room, a middle-aged man with a well-defined face, thick eyebrows, greying temples, deep eyes, and an aura of authority sat steadily in the commander’s chair, wearing the uniform of a Major General.

The huge operating screen in front of him displayed images in different squares, each corresponding to an examination room.

From the screens, it was evident that each examination room was in disarray.

At that moment, a woman with long black hair, a beautiful appearance, and wearing a Colonel’s uniform approached and said,

“General Ames, all troops have successfully taken over the examination rooms, and all the cheaters are being escorted over.”

“Xia An, there’s no need to report such matters to me anymore.

Just send them all to the frontline battlefield.”

“I understand.”

“And after the screening is complete, start the exams immediately!”

Ames ordered with a heavy voice.

“I’ll notify them right away.

Additionally, Sir Xiao Lie, the District Governor of the Thirteenth District, has requested to see you.”

Xia An immediately followed up with her report.

“Not seeing him!”

Ames said coldly.

“Yes!”

Xia An replied respectfully.
