"Principal Cheng, I have brought Yi Roujing." Director Li was the first to speak.

Sitting in the central position must be Principal Cheng. Since he is from the Cheng family, Yi Roujing couldn’t help but think more about it. Whether he silently approved today’s incident or actively planned it behind the scenes, considering Zhang Mengdi’s brains, resources, and connections, it was impossible to make banners and rally classmates without help.

Deng Yiyi and Cheng Yijin are two people Yi Roujing couldn’t believe not having involved.

"Is this the wife of Teacher Xu Ancheng?"

Principal Cheng, in his early fifties, was short, slightly plump, and with a smile on his face reminiscent of a smiling tiger, Yi Roujing thought to herself.

"Hello, Principal Cheng." Yi Roujing greeted him with a smile.

"Yi Roujing, how can you still smile? Don’t you think what you’ve done is really malicious?" The speaker was Vice Principal Chen, sitting on Principal Cheng’s right, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Yi Roujing showed an innocent and confused expression, "What have I done that’s malicious? What did I do?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"You cheated on the college entrance exam." Vice Principal Chen sternly reprimanded.

"I did not," Yi Roujing denied flatly. "I already heard about it on the way here. Zhang Mengdi accused me of cheating on the college entrance exam, which is untrue. I hope the school will seriously investigate this matter to prove my innocence. How can our school admit students who casually defame others?"

"Yi Roujing, you’re still lying with your eyes open. Don’t you know your own grades? You’re saying you didn’t cheat?" Zhang Mengdi shouted, looking at Yi Roujing with disdain.

"Of course, I’m very clear on my own grades, but I wonder how Zhang Mengdi knows them so well," Yi Roujing said amusingly.

"I... your junior high..."

"If Zhang Mengdi wants to argue based on my junior high grades, I think you’re truly foolish," Yi Roujing interrupted her, "Back then, our country hadn’t resumed the college entrance exams, so what use is excellent junior high performance?"

"I never thought of being recommended for the Worker, Peasant, Soldier University or becoming a worker, so what’s the point of such good grades?" Yi Roujing asked confidently.

Zhang Mengdi was momentarily speechless.

"So you’re saying that you didn’t want to study during junior high, and that’s why you got those grades?" said another middle-aged man who hadn’t spoken yet.

"Vice Principal Hu, yes, Yi Roujing told me so on the way here," Li Hongwei responded promptly. "Yi Roujing didn’t focus on her studies in junior high, and her grades were casually taken. I suspect she intentionally got those scores."

"Yi Roujing is the top student admitted to our medical department this year. If even such results can be fabricated, to what extent must it be fabricated? Hence, I think the possibility of Yi Roujing cheating is very low."

"Who cheats to make themselves a top student? Such results would be quickly exposed in a university, especially in a prestigious school like Jing University," Li Hongwei said emphatically.

"Principal Cheng, I think Counselor Li Hongwei’s words make sense."

"Vice Principal Hu, I remember your nephew’s family is close with the Xu family, is that right?" Principal Cheng asked with a smile.

Yi Roujing raised an eyebrow at those words; this seemed to be questioning their motives, thinking they might be partial. But is Vice Principal Hu related to Heping’s family?

"Principal Cheng is mistaken. My Hu family has been separated since my father’s generation, although the affection remains. And we are close not with the Xu family but with Yi Roujing," Vice Principal Hu replied with a smile. "Principal Cheng may not know, but Yi Roujing is a benefactor of our Hu family, a lifesaver."

"Yi Roujing saved my nephew Hu Zhishu’s life, and also saved the life of his only daughter Hu Heping and her unborn child."

"Yi Roujing was commended by the Jiang Province Public Security Bureau for this matter in Huaixi County and awarded for bravery," Vice Principal Hu said calmly and steadily.

"A person like this could not possibly cheat," Vice Principal Hu stated, "Principal Cheng, were you questioning me just now? Thinking I would speak for Yi Roujing because of the Xu family?"

"You’re mistaken, Principal Cheng. I won’t speak for Yi Roujing; I directly stand behind her and support her."

"During her time in Jiang Province, Yi Roujing was praised by former Principal Zhu Dangting. Such a widely acclaimed person couldn’t possibly cheat."

Yi Roujing saw Principal Cheng’s face tense up, even Vice Principal Chen’s face slightly changed from his initial accusation.

"So Yi Roujing is actually a benefactor of your family, Vice Principal Hu. I heard from Director Geng of the medical department that recently Yi Roujing also acted bravely and saved a life, and the person even donated surgical instruments and medical books to the department, right?"

Standing beside Yi Roujing, Director Geng nodded, "The Mu Family personally delivered them, so it’s definitely genuine."

Witnessing the sudden shift in the situation, Zhang Mengdi bit her tongue, tears suddenly streaming down, "Leaders, teachers, we cannot let Yi Roujing’s backing allow her to act recklessly, treating the college entrance exam—a serious matter for the nation’s students—as if it’s simply eating in her own yard. This is unfair to the rest of us."

Encouraged by Zhang Mengdi, the students nearby holding banners and signs were incited, angrily crying out, "Yes, we can’t let those with power shelter her like this. It’s unfair to other students. We demand the school handle this seriously."

"Alas," Yi Roujing sighed, "You keep bringing up my junior high transcript, and I’m so wronged. I’m actually very smart, and my grades are quite good. If you truly don’t believe me, I can solve questions on the spot. You can choose the questions for me."

Yi Roujing watched as the students, whose emotions had flared up, gradually calmed down, exchanging uncertain glances. If someone didn’t have some ability, they generally wouldn’t dare to make such bold claims.

"It’s not long after the college entrance exams. Watching me solve questions in front of you, surely you’ll believe it then."

"Let’s follow Yi Roujing’s suggestion," Vice Principal Hu was the first to respond, "Principal Cheng, what do you think? As long as the grades hold up, it must be false accusation."

"For fairness, how about Principal Cheng, you find teachers to draft the questions, right on the spot."

"Yes, draft them on the spot," the banner-holding students agreed.

Zhang Mengdi clenched her hands tightly; yielding such grades in junior high, how could she solve questions? But seeing her so confident, could she really?

With Principal Cheng’s command, teachers to draft the questions were gathered. It took over half an hour to complete the test papers, covering all subjects, specifically the four exam subjects of the college entrance exams.

Yi Roujing sat down calmly, finishing all the subjects within three hours, even completing the essay.
