Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Counterattack! 6

That "Mhm," with its pitched tail, sounded casual and breezy, yet to Ma Yiqing’s ears, it was no different from a heavy hammer brutally smashing into her heart!

She was frozen in place for a moment, her face turning deathly pale, looking as if she had committed some vile act and was caught red-handed!

Ji Yebai lowered his voice, a deep tone laden with a thick weight of authority, "Speak! How did you know?!"

Upon realizing that the cat was out of the bag, Teacher Liu hastily tried to bite back, "Young Master Ji, it’s... it was her who instructed me! She told me to change Ning Xixi’s scores! Yes, that’s it! She coerced me; I had no choice but to do it..."

"Shut up! Stop slandering others!" Ma Yiqing finally snapped back to reality, swearing adamantly, "This has nothing to do with me! Changing the score... was just my guess... Fellow classmates, do you really not believe me?"

In her eyes, adorned with colored contact lenses, pitiful tears shimmered, immediately garnering a fair amount of sympathy.

"I don’t think Yiqing is that kind of person..."

"Yeah, I believe Ma’s character!"

"Yiqing is so pretty; she must be kind-hearted!!"

Many spoke up for Ma Yiqing, but then Ning Xixi suddenly asked her, "Ma Yiqing, how much did I score on this test?"

Without thinking, Ma Yiqing blurted out, "567..." Her words barely ended before she jolted to her senses and hurriedly corrected herself, "6...600..."

Damn it, how many was it after the change? She hadn’t committed the altered score to memory at all!

Ning Xixi passed a look to Ji Yebai, he raised his eyebrows knowingly, as if sharing an unspoken understanding, and pulled his phone out of his pocket, finding those printed photos.

Click, mass send!

"The evidence has been posted in the class group," he stated.

Everyone in the class quickly took out their phones and opened up the image that Ji Yebai had sent.

It was Ning Xixi’s grades from the Academic Affairs System’s backend.

It displayed: 663, class rank 3, school rank 4.

Flipping further, there was a stark record of the backend’s modification! The login username was Teacher Liu, and the operation record showed, she had changed Ning Xixi’s original "567" to "663"!

Originally, Ning Xixi ranked 16th in her class, but with her manipulation, Ning Xixi leapt to third place!

Aside from the modification record and scores, there were Ning Xixi’s entire answer sheets, clearly presenting her grades with no possibility of cheating!

"The school distributes the answer sheets and test papers to students after each exam, but the teachers who mark the papers have scanned copies," Ji Yebai said with a knowing smile, "I now suspect that someone deliberately hid Ning Xixi’s paper, refusing to give it to her!"

The class was already seething with righteous indignation, and upon hearing Ji Yebai’s words, their fervor peaked, "How despicable to do such a thing! How shameless!"

Jian Yixue was among the most agitated. She clenched her fists tightly and looked straight at Ji Yebai, "Young Master Ji, please, I beg you to get to the bottom of this matter, to give me, to give Ning Xixi justice!"

After speaking, she stared at Ma Yiqing angrily.

The others also turned their gazes en masse to Ma Yiqing.

Ning Xixi had a stern look on her face and spoke with firm conviction, "Ma Yiqing, you say guessing the change in grades is one thing, but how would you know what my original score was? Was it you who hid my test paper and answer sheet, and instigated Teacher Liu to change my grades?!"
