He had already included Su Wan in his protective range. As a responsible landlord, he would not let his tenants suffer, especially when she was helping him.
"Ning Chuan, not only do you dare to do but not admit it, you even dare to talk to the principal like this. You're too arrogant!" Wu Junyong quickly stepped forward and accused loudly.
"That's right, you completely disregard the school's rules and regulations, show no respect for teachers, and I suggest expelling such scum," Lei Pengfei quickly chimed in.
"Hmph, brainless brute," Jiang Yuqi sneered.
Ning Chuan turned around and swept his gaze around, exuding a compelling aura. Everyone involuntarily closed their mouths.
"Vicious woman, brainless fools as classmates, along with a principal who can't distinguish right from wrong. This school is truly disappointing," Ning Chuan said disdainfully.
"What do you mean?" Principal Huang's trembling hand pointed at Ning Chuan, unable to find words due to anger.
"Ning Chuan, he's the principal. How can you speak like that?" Su Wan hurriedly stepped forward and supported Principal Huang.
Since she enrolled in the school, Principal Huang had treated her well.
Principal Huang had worked diligently at Jiangnan University for decades, step by step, to reach his current position.
He cherished his reputation, and this was the first time a student had pointed at him and insulted him.
"Fine! Then let me show you how I can't distinguish right from wrong," Principal Huang said firmly.
"Is it not simple? You accused me of cheating. Do you have any substantial evidence? This woman, with just a phone call she overheard and her manipulative words, successfully dragged all of you into the pit."
"Then let me ask you, do you have any evidence? Which pair of eyes saw me cheating?" Ning Chuan said loudly.
"You falsely accused me. So, what evidence do you have to prove that you didn't cheat?" Jiang Yuqi retorted defiantly.
"I don't need any. This is the best proof!" Ning Chuan said calmly, pointing at his own head.
"Hahaha! No need for proof, I'm afraid there is no proof. Nonsense," Wu Junyong laughed heartily when he saw that Ning Chuan had no evidence.
"You, with a brain full of shit, don't understand. Don't interrupt," Ning Chuan said coldly.
"Principal, you can issue the test questions on the spot, with the difficulty level of your choice. As long as I answer them all correctly, does it not prove my and Teacher Su's innocence?" Su Wan's cheeks turned red and grew warm when she heard Ning Chuan mention "me and Teacher Su's innocence."
Principal Huang nodded. It was indeed a good way to prove their innocence.
Director Zhang immediately spoke up, "We don't need to issue the questions on the spot. I have the spare B paper here that Teacher Su has never seen. It was prepared by several respected professors and sealed with me."
"However... the difficulty level is slightly higher than the A paper you took."
Su Wan couldn't help but feel a little worried, but when she thought about the difficulty level of the questions in the third year, which Ning Chuan could answer correctly, she let go of her concerns.
Ning Chuan nodded indifferently, "That's fine."
"I'll have someone bring it over. Please wait a moment, everyone." Director Zhang immediately took out his phone.
With the B paper being more difficult than the A paper, Wu Junyong, Jiang Yuqi, and others couldn't help but relax, looking smugly at Ning Chuan.
Now let's see how you'll end up being so arrogant when you can't answer it later.
Inside the classroom, the students whispered to each other again. Most of them didn't believe that Ning Chuan hadn't cheated. It was just not scientifically possible.
"Top post: Full marks test paper, suspected cheating, on-the-spot examination, come and watch."
"How to win the favor of the goddess teacher, Ning Chuan will teach you."
Ning Chuan's name spread throughout every corner of the campus in various WeChat groups.
Jiang Churan furrowed her delicate eyebrows, gazing at Ning Chuan with a puzzled expression on her pretty face.
She couldn't understand why Ning Chuan was bragging so much and protecting Su Wan so fiercely.
Soon, the teachers from the Academic Affairs Office brought the test papers.
Ning Chuan sat at the podium and began answering without hesitation, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The sound of pencils scratching on paper filled the classroom.
But something was amiss. Jiang Churan noticed it.
From the beginning to now, Ning Chuan hadn't paused for a second. Did he not need to think?
And he didn't even use scratch paper! Ah! This was too unbelievable.
Nineteen minutes and forty seconds. Ning Chuan threw down his pen and looked up, saying, "I'm done."
The entire room gasped in astonishment. No one spoke; they all stared at the principal in disbelief.
Even the principal hadn't reacted. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ning Chuan had finished.
Three teachers in charge of grading immediately took the papers without waiting for instructions and started marking.
Sure enough, in one go, a perfect answer sheet. As usual, the last two challenging questions provided three different solutions.
The grading teachers excitedly exclaimed with flushed faces, "Full marks, it's another full score!"
The whole room was dumbfounded. It was another perfect score!
"It's impossible. How could he get everything right?" Wu Junyong grew anxious, unable to believe his own ears.
The grading teacher looked displeased. "What? Are you suspecting us of cheating too?"
"No, no, I just worried that you might have missed something," Wu Junyong explained embarrassedly.
Jiang Yuqi's face turned pale. How, how was this possible?
Ning Chuan, this brainless brute, how could he be so amazing?
She nervously glanced at Ji Xingyu, calculating in her mind how to deceive this fool. Until she found a better boyfriend, she couldn't let go of him.
The grading teacher handed the papers to the principal, who looked at them carefully, his face filled with shame and excitement, repeatedly uttering the word "good."
"Good, good, good."
"Great, mighty, well done!"
Ji Xingyu, Wang Xianmin, and Zuo Enhua looked at each other and shouted excitedly.
"This is talent. I dare say, this is the most exceptional student we've had since the school was established."
"Incredible! Truly a remarkable existence that we look up to."
"Wow, look at Su Teacher and Ning Chuan standing together. They are a perfect match."
"Goddess teacher and male academic genius, I'm in awe."
"I really want a domineering brother like him to protect me."
...
The discussions among the audience gradually deviated from the topic.
Female classmates had hearts filled with joy, their eyes sparkling with excitement as they gazed at Su Wan and Ning Chuan.
Male classmates looked up to Ning Chuan with admiration, eager to learn from him and seek advice on how to charm a goddess.
Jiang Churan's expression changed repeatedly as she stared blankly at Ning Chuan, a strange sense of sourness welling up in her heart.
Principal Huang straightened his posture and bowed to Ning Chuan.
With a face full of remorse and sincerity, he said, "Student Ning Chuan, Teacher Su Wan, I'm sorry. You didn't cheat, and Ning Chuan, you earned the first place with your abilities. I sincerely apologize to you and will make an official announcement to restore your reputation throughout the school."
Ning Chuan nodded slightly, indicating his acceptance.
He couldn't help but develop a certain liking for this old man who readily admitted his mistake and was approachable.
Su Wan hurriedly helped Principal Huang up, waving her hands repeatedly, saying, "No need to be so formal. As long as everything is clarified, that's enough."
