Chapter 107 - Caught

Seeing Xie Eun's confidence,the principal felt a sliver of doubt. Principal Meng glanced at the ID Card and seeing the name of the student,he inexplicably felt that it was somehow familiar. He noticed that quite some time had passed and the students were all distracted so he took a deep breath and looked at the professor and said,"Call the substitute and let them invigilate for a while.Student Xie Eun,there is a thirty minute break after the written test.Please come with us.If it is proven that you are indeed innocent,then you will get the extra time to finish your work.Otherwise,you will be expelled from the university."

Principal Meng purposely said this to make the student re think her position. In his thirty years of experience,there were many students who lied confidently and the principal needed to make sure that this student was not one of them.On the other hand,he had to also consider that the student's career and life were at stake. He already had a solution and a way to solve this problem but he did not wish to discuss this. As the trio moved to go out o the door after the arrival of the substitute teacher,they looked back to see Xie Eun continue to stand there defiantly. Before anyone could say anything,she asked,"What if it is proven that I am not the culprit?Then who will be punished.Naturally if I am innocent,then there is someone who cheated and then framed me."

The Inspector was stunned and she glared ferociously at Xie Eun before saying,"What arrogance you have student!Do you see Principal Meng?The student is like this and still you want to give her a chance to clarify?"

Principal Meng stared intently and suddenly the unwavering pose of the student reminded him of someone.And that is when he realized where he had heard the student's name..This girl was his old comrade's daughter! She was General Xie's daughter. Her expression reminded him of the man!And if he was right then that meant that she was also CEO Wolf's wife..Hmm.Realizing that today the secrecy about the classroom cameras was going to be worth it.He kept his expression blank and announced,"If another person has committed this and then tried to pass off the blame,rest assured,they will also meet the same fate.They will also be expelled."

Satisfied with the answer,Xie Eun,picked up her things and followed the three people to the office. The Principal then guided the Professor to his room and asked the other two to sit outside. Xie Eun sat there quietly staring at the closed door,while the inspector glared at her hostilely.

Inside the Principal's room:

"Principal Meng,it is true that I found the slip of paper under student Xie's desk but I have not seen her copy anything so I cannot be sure of this. But the handwriting on the answer sheet and this cheat sheet does not match.It is why I was hesitant to call out this student.At that moment,I had just moved forward to the other desk when the Inspector came in.She immediately started to question me and I had only just explained about the piece of paper when she accused the student. It wasn't until the student pointed out this point did I realized this."

The principal nodded and after receiving a satisfactory explanation,sent the teacher out of the room. He asked that the inspector be sent in,before he opened his work computer and went to check something.Soon he had an answer to the question and thus he slowly started to play back slowly.

The inspector came in with a frown and immediately started to complain,"Principal Meng. It is the student who cheated and not us.Why are you calling us and not her for some questioning. Are you trying to say that you trust a student more than your staff? Is that the impression you want to give to the students and others?She should have been expelled by now!"

The Principal,who had never been scolded in his life, narrowed his eyes and said,"Don't worry,Inspector. The person who had committed the mistake will be punished.But can you not have some more patience and empathy?The student must have her own reasons.You can excuse her or even give her a light warning.Why are you intent on expelling her?"

"I would have excused her if she had committed a mistake but she continues to be bold and and dared to talk back so much. Tell me sir,with such an attitude,would we not be helping her by covering her crime?Such people need to be punished well!"

The inspector gloated a bit at her impeding success

Principal Meng frowned a bit and nodded his head,"Very Well,then.Inspector,what would you like to say for this?"

With that Principal Meng turned around the laptop on his desk and let the Inspector see everything for herself.The woman paled and almost lost her sense..She saw with her own eyes that the students had coordinated to frame the girl..And the principal had then played back and zoomed in on when she had been typing out a message to her.. 

"Sir..."the gloating look on the Inspector's face was gone and she could only gulp as she tried to think of an excuse.."

Just then,the Principal's office door had opened and the mobile phone that had been surrendered before entering was brought in."Inspector,we will be confiscating your phone as evidence and this matter will be raised in the board as they were the ones who recommended you. You have failed in carrying out your duty and tried to misuse your position. We will make sure that a person with such character is punished severely. Do you have anything to say?"
