As soon as Tan Rou said this, Director Wang was like a mouse whose tail was being held down. He was so anxious that he jumped. “Look at what you’re saying! She’s just a student and she might have harboured ill intentions toward you because of personal grudges. This is a matter between both your girls! I’m just a teacher, what reasons do I have to help her?”
Director Wang’s forehead was full of sweat. The more unhurried Tan Rou was, the more nervous he became. He felt like he was being forced into a dead end by Tan Rou.
Tan Rou smiled. “Director Wang, I only said that there might be someone helping her. Why are you in a hurry to clear your own name?”
Director Wang was so stunned that he even forgot what he had just said.
Tan Jing, who was outside the door, bit her lip hard and cursed Director Wang in her heart. What an idiot! It was fine as long as he refused to admit it. Tan Rou didn’t have the telescope to see the text messages between the two but now Director Wang was getting forced to expose the truth himself!
Tan Rou was done teasing him and felt that there was no more meaning to it. She picked up the mouse and started operating on the computer.
Director Wang was so prideful that he didn’t notice that she had left a trap in advance.
The current surveillance system was logged in with Director Wang’s own ID. There were cameras everywhere in their school and Tan Rou could easily find the footage from Director Wang’s office.
The big screen began to play the image of Director Wang leisurely playing with his mobile phone in the office with his legs crossed. Suddenly, he noticed something and frowned slightly as he looked at his mobile phone. Then, Director Wang touched the sparse hair on the top of his head and was about to make a call.
When he suddenly saw himself on the screen, Director Wang was stunned. When he realised that this was the surveillance video of him in the office just now, Director Wang instantly broke out in a cold sweat. When he thought of the contents of his next call, Director Wang’s legs began to tremble.
He couldn’t care about anything else. Director Wang immediately wanted to take back the mouse from Tan Rou’s hand and turn off the damn video! No one should be allowed to watch what was about to happen next!
However, when Director Wang pounced on Tan Rou with a twisted expression, the principal had already noticed that something was wrong. He snapped, “Wang Li! You stand right there! Don’t move!”
The principal’s voice was deep and majestic. Now, he was pissed. The aura of a soldier shocked Director Wang, causing him to freeze in his spot.
The principal had shouted his full name and did not show him any respect. It’s over! Everything is over now!
A few seconds later, Director Wang made a phone call. He looked nonchalant and whispered to the other end of the phone, “Go and delete the video of Exam Lall D. Well, the latest one would do. Why are you asking so much? This is what the Tan family requested. Why would I ask? I didn’t. Don’t worry, they have always been generous. I will not forget what you’ve done today once I get paid.”
It wasn’t a long conversation but the message from it was intense.
The students at the entrance didn’t even dare to make a sound this time.
Originally, they just wanted to see what would happen to Tan Rou if she cheated but they didn’t expect to see Wei Ling framing her classmates as if no one else was around.
The others wanted to see how Tan Rou would fight director Wang alone, but he didn’t expect to see evidence of Director Wang’s corruption and bribery!
Most students reacted quickly. First, Wei Ling had unscrupulously thrown a small note under surveillance to frame Tan Rou. Then, Director Wang had found someone to delete the surveillance footage. He even said that the Tan family would be paying him handsomely. It was obvious that the Tan family had bribed Director Wang to get Tan Rou expelled from school!
After thinking about it carefully, it was simply too terrifying. Most of the students came from ordinary families. Today, the Tan family had bribed the school’s faculty so easily and wrongly accused Tan Rou. Then, would they continue to use this method to accuse others tomorrow?
Tan Rou had the ability to defend herself; but if it weren’t her, wouldn’t the student be expelled for no reason? You can do whatever you want just because you’re rich and just disregard the futures of others?
This instantly ignited the indignation in the students’ hearts. They expressed great resentment towards the school faculties and the wealthy who joined forces to slander their students. Many hot-blooded male students were already shouting loudly in the crowd, “He’s not fit to be the Director !”
Some of the students noticed Tan Jing hiding in the crowd and stared at her with suspicion and hatred. Since it was the Tan family who wanted this done, did Tan Jing know about it? Didn’t she not get along with Tan Rou recently?
Tan Jing’s heart crumpled. When she heard Director Wang mention the Tan family in the video, Tan Jing had already wanted to run away. But, she was afraid that she would be discovered by the students next to her if she suddenly left. In the end, she could only remain standing stiffly in her spot, praying that no one would see her.
But her prayers failed!
