Lin Yan brought her to the lounge of the hospital. He told her to stay there until he got off work so that he could send her back to school.

Hu Jian had just agreed when Li Yang sent her a message saying that the rankings for the Math Olympiad Competition had been released early. He asked her where she was and told her to rush back to enjoy the fun of winning the championship.

Hu Jian was not surprised by this result. She lowered her head and replied with an “Okay”.

It was time to teach Wang Xin and her group of people a lesson for setting up her and the people from Class F.

Hu Jian could not find Lin Yan in the consultation room so she told the nurse to inform him. She even sent Lin Yan a message saying that she would go back to school first.

Hu Jian rushed to school five minutes before the lunch break.

She entered through the back door and sat down.

Chen Yu rushed into Class F with the name list of the ranking of the Math Olympiad Competition. Her excitement was beyond words.

“Students, I have a piece of good news to share. The team of students Li Yang, Cheng Weiyu, and Hu Jian from our class has obtained first place in this competition. Let us give them a warm applause!”

The students from Class F were silent for a moment before they let out a loud roar and cheered. The sound was so loud the roof almost collapsed.

When the class bell rang, the students from Class F gathered around Hu Jian and gave her a thumbs up. They were all praising her.

“Awesome, Sister Hu.”

Hu Jian lazily picked her ears and glanced at the boy. “Call me brother.”

Calling big sister makes me feel old.

“Awesome, Hu Ge.”

Li Yang snickered and was amused.

“…”

He might as well not shout.

Cheng Weiyu was also beaming with joy.

However, when they went to the cafeteria and ordered a large table of dishes to celebrate, they realized that the people around them were not looking at them properly.

“What’s so awesome about them? Didn’t they just plagiarize?”

“Did they really think that no one knows what they did? The evidence is all in their pockets.”

“Don’t push your luck.”

“The Class F people are really interesting. They are celebrating the victory they stole. Those who don’t know would think that they’re really amazing.”

The expressions of the people in Class F immediately changed. None of them were willing to believe these sarcastic remarks.

However, those people made it sound so real that the people of Class F people could not help but feel uncomfortable.

They all turned their heads to look at Hu Jian.

Hu Jian blew on a piece of bubble gum and it broke with a bang. She waved her hand and told them to take their seats.

“Let’s eat first.”

Who had the mood to eat this meal… the Class F students looked at each other.

Even though Hu Jian had worked very hard during those days, her efforts were nothing compared to the difficulty of winning the championship.

Especially after they had experienced it “personally”, they finally understood how difficult it was to solve mathematical problems.

Hu Jian moved her chopsticks first. Cheng Weiyu did not stand on ceremony either. Li Yang picked up a piece of spicy chicken and praised, “Delicious.”

“…”

The people from Class F collectively fell silent. Why were these three acting as if nothing had happened?

They sat down helplessly, as reserved as children who had admitted their mistakes.

Hu Jian looked at them strangely. “Why aren’t you all eating? Will the rice grow legs and run into your mouth by itself?”

The boy with blue fringe hesitated for a moment before asking, “Is what they said true or false…?”

“Of course it’s true!”

Wang Xin, who had appeared in the restaurant at some point in time, said arrogantly.

Hu Jian smiled: She is finally here.

Just now, she was wondering if it would be disgraceful if she went confront Wang Xin. Now, she did not have to make such a choice.

“Hey, why is Wang Xin Here? Didn’t she withdraw from school?”

“She’s here for revenge. I guess Hu Jian used the aphrodisiac medicine on Wang Xin to threaten her because she found out that Hu Jian had the answer!”

“That Hu Jian is really vicious!”

“Think about it. How could ordinary people have such a thing as aphrodisiac medicine? It was only exposed the last time when she drugged Qiao Han.”

“I went to take a look today on the online platform. There are still answers to the competition question in her desk pocket that are not destroyed!”

The people around were whispering again. Hu Jian heard everything they said.

She raised her head and asked with a smile, “Why is it Miss Wang’s turn to take action personally? Where is Yang Si?”

At the mention of Yang Si, Wang Xin’s expression changed. “What has it got to do with you?”

Hu Jian propped her head up with her hand. “Nothing. I’m just asking if she’s alright now.”

“You’ll know if she’s alright after you go and take a look later.” Wang Xin sneered. “Now, let’s talk about you copying the competition answers first!”

Hu Jian peeled a prawn calmly. “There’s no need for me to copy the answers for an exam of this level. It’s too easy.”

When she said this, everyone was shocked.

In this kind of Math Olympiad Competition, it was already a miracle if there were three to five good students in the whole school. Hu Jian’s tone was so arrogant!

“Someone found the answer to the competition in your desk. You still refuse to admit it!” Wang Xin was so insistent on the evidence that Yang Si had placed in Hu Jian’s desk.

“Why must the things in my desk pocket be mine?”

“Everyone was watching in the auditorium. There was a 360-degree surveillance camera with no blind spots. At that time, no one realized that I was copying any answers. Now it makes no sense to say that I copied after I got first place and made Class A embarrassed after the exam right? Besides, I’ve never seen that answer before.”

While saying it, Hu Jian’s face did not turn red and her heart did not race.

“You really won’t be convinced until you see evidence right. Okay, then let’s go and verify the fingerprint on the answer.”

Hu Jian said plainly, “Sure.”

Wang Xin led the way while Hu Jian followed behind.

Cheng Weiyu knew that Hu Jian had touched the test paper previously.. She immediately panicked and asked softly beside Hu Jian, “Isn’t your fingerprint on it too?”
