Chapter 998: Chapter 998 Didn’t Cheat
Listening to Teacher Mo’s words, Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, showing little reaction, simply responding obediently, "Okay."
Seeing Gu Zhiqi being so well-behaved, Teacher Mo suddenly felt a surge of hatred towards those who reported her.
The two continued walking towards the office. Along the way, Teacher Mo consoled Gu Zhiqi several times, generally telling her not to be afraid or nervous.
Gu Zhiqi responded with a simple "Okay" each time.
Soon, the two arrived at the guidance office.
Several people were already seated in the office, including Director Wen Feng, the vice-principal, class teachers from Class Eight, and Wu Hui, the homeroom teacher of Class One.
Of course, Gu Zhiqi had never met the vice-principal, so she didn’t recognize him.
As Teacher Mo and Gu Zhiqi walked into the office, the teachers inside all turned to look at the doorway.
"Is Student Gu Zhiqi here?" Director Wen spoke the moment he saw Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi greeted the teachers with a "Hello, teachers."
With that, she considered it as having greeted them.
Director Wen was about to say something more when the vice-principal interrupted, "Are you Student Gu Zhiqi? I believe Teacher Mo has already informed you why we called you here? What do you have to say about it?"
As the vice-principal spoke, he sized up Gu Zhiqi from head to toe.
Standing there with a lazy demeanor, Gu Zhiqi said calmly, "I didn’t cheat."
Before anyone else could respond to Gu Zhiqi’s words, Wu Hui let out a cold snort, "Hmph."
After snorting, she glanced sideways at Gu Zhiqi, "You say you didn’t cheat, and that’s it? Don’t you think your explanation is too feeble? Do you think this matter can be cleared up just by saying so?"
Hearing Wu Hui’s words, Teacher Mo and several class teachers from Class Eight all frowned.
"Teacher Wu..." Teacher Mo and Wen Feng almost spoke at the same time. It was just when they said the third word, "Teacher Wu," that they realized someone else was speaking with them, so they both stopped.
Just then, Gu Zhiqi lazily spoke up, "Didn’t the person who reported me also rely on their words to slander me? Why can’t I use my words to explain?"
"You are the one under suspicion now. Shouldn’t you provide evidence that you didn’t cheat? Instead of just relying on your words here," Wu Hui said coldly, looking at Gu Zhiqi.
Wu Hui was the first to disbelieve that Gu Zhiqi scored full marks in all subjects.
She had been Gu Zhiqi’s homeroom teacher for two years, she knew Gu Zhiqi’s abilities well.
Not to mention, Gu Zhiqi didn’t have the capability to score full marks across all subjects, and even if she did, she can’t really score full marks.
Otherwise, what would people think of Wu Hui?
Gu Zhiqi had been in Class One for two years, never scoring full marks across all subjects. How did she score full marks just after switching classes?
Others would only think she was incompetent.
She firmly couldn’t allow this to happen.
So, when she learned someone reported Gu Zhiqi for cheating, Wu Hui rushed here immediately.
No matter what, Gu Zhiqi’s cheating must become a truth.
With these thoughts, Wu Hui’s eyes turned cold, and her gaze at Gu Zhiqi darkened significantly.
Wu Hui’s words caused discomfort to the teachers of Class Eight. Teacher Mo frowned and said, "Teacher Wu, Student Gu Zhiqi is a student in my class. I will investigate whether she cheated, so there’s no need to trouble Teacher Wu."
Listening to Teacher Mo, Wu Hui looked displeased, "Her cheating has seriously affected the school’s ethos. Why can’t I be involved?"
