Just as the students started to speculate, the professor looked toward Mu Huan.

She had a foreboding when she met his gaze.

The professor took out two test papers and walked toward her. Slamming the papers down before her, he accused, “Mu Huan, did you cheat your way to the top position in the school?”

She looked at the test papers on the table calmly. One was hers and the other belonged to a guy in their class. The boy was also another top scholar in school, with his college results comparable to hers.

Both had the same answers to the few difficult questions inside the test papers. Even the small portion of the wrong explanation was identical!

Whoever saw the two answer sheets would presume that one had plagiarized the other!

“Professor Wang…” She was about to say something when he cut her off.

“Are you going to say that your classmate, Li, has copied yours instead? During the examination, he was sitting in front of you. I’d checked the surveillance clip for that day and confirmed that he did not turn his head in your direction once! But you were caught looking past his shoulders repeatedly! Besides, he handed in his answer sheet fifteen minutes earlier, so if he had copied yours, why were the answers identical to the last question?!”

Her eyes turned sullen. She did not copy that boy’s answers, and it was also true that he did not turn to look at hers. If this was the case, then the few answers inside their answer sheets should not have been identical!

Under such a circumstance, there was only one possible explanation: Someone had copied her answers after she submitted it so as to produce another identical answer sheet!

This was a well-devised plan to sabotage her!

She ruled out the possibility of Professor Wang doing this to her. Although he had marked her when she was late previously, he had no obvious motive to harm her in this way, especially when he might risk his reputation and livelihood. As for that boy, he had nothing against her, so he would not risk punishment just to frame her.

So no one would believe that she was framed in this incident. On the other hand, it made her the likely culprit in this cheating episode.

Hence, nobody would listen to her defense unless she had proof!

“Professor Wang, I don’t know how this came about, but I’m very sure that I did not copy his answers. If you don’t believe me, you can give us another set of questions with the same level of difficulty and let us re-do it without sitting next to each other.” She knew she could clear her name only when she had evidence so she would not cry wolf just yet. Still, this did not mean she would let herself be falsely accused. She would not admit to cheating when she did not do it in the first place!

If the teacher had questions about her capability, then she would prove him wrong with what she had!

“Reset another test paper? What if the questions turn out to be something you are familiar with?” the professor snorted.

“If you think so, then you can set more difficult questions…”

Before she could finish her words, she was rudely cut off again. “You don’t have to defend yourself anymore. You’ll be given a major demerit point this time. If this happens again, you can forget about graduating!”

Her expression sank but she did not say anything more.

They were bound to have left traces. She would look for the evidence that proved that she had been framed, and the guilty ones would be done for!

She was the kind who would not seek trouble unless trouble went looking for her. If anyone were to step on her toes, she would make sure she returned the favor tenfold!
