Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Unleashable Part 1

"Then how do you propose I prove I didn’t cheat? Just say it, and I will do it." Her cold voice, like a chilly sword, drowned out the previously noisy atmosphere. Suddenly, the surroundings went quiet, and all eyes were fixed on the white-clad figure in the center.

At her words, some naturally believed, while others doubted.

"You are simply being unreasonable. Youyou’s scores are all genuine," Gui Mo said, his peach blossom eyes narrowing as he made his way through the crowd to stand before Shangguan You, a sharp gleam flickering in his gaze.

"Youyou, whether others believe you or not, I do," Gui Mo declared, gazing at Shangguan You with ’deep affection,’ his demeanor somewhat flamboyant. Many of the girls around looked at Shangguan You with eyes filled with resentment.

Previously, the utterly unremarkable Shangguan You was someone anyone could trample on. But now, she was stunningly beautiful—so dazzling that one couldn’t help but want to get closer to her. Standing there quietly, she radiated an aura of Spiritual Energy, and the boys around her watched her intensely, unable to look away. Such a remarkable transformation was enough to make anyone jealous.

Shangguan You’s lips curled into a grimace. At this point, what is he still doing here? He was supposed to have gone back to Beijing long ago.

"I also believe in Youyou," Zhu Li likewise stood by her side, glaring hatefully at Shen Jia and the others.

"I am Shangguan You’s English teacher. She can’t even manage the most basic spoken exercises. Her performance today is highly doubtful."

"I am her math teacher."

"I am her language teacher. During class, she does nothing but daydream or sleep."

Several of Shangguan You’s former teachers came forward, speaking of her usual academic performance. In just one short month, she had turned everything upside-down. This change was so sudden that it was hard to accept, making people wonder if she had used some underhanded means to secure the top spot.

"Although Shangguan You didn’t perform well initially, in this past month, she has shown serious dedication. With the tutoring from Han Xiao, Lan Shao, and the others, I fully believe these are her true scores," Chen Sheng stood before Shangguan You, speaking on her behalf. She was his student, after all, and he couldn’t just stand by and watch her be expelled.

The matter didn’t just spark debate among the students but also among the teachers, with Yang Liwen and several others at the forefront of the arguments.

"Alright, students and teachers, let’s quiet down," Han Xiao said, having to step in to control the escalating argument among students and teachers. While others debated furiously on her behalf, the person at the center of the event stood leisurely to the side as if watching a play. If word of this got out, it would be disastrous.

While the crowd was buzzing with fervent disputes, several figures lingered on the periphery. They were recording everyone present while their cameras captured the intense scene. Tomorrow’s newspapers, it was believed, would be explosive once again after the "4P incident," and No. 1 High School would face an even more severe crisis.

"B City’s most prestigious academy: top-ranked student revealed to be the school’s lowest achiever! Did she buy the exam questions beforehand, or is there another reason?"

A few journalists carefully captured this shocking scene.

"Since Shangguan You’s results are real, then I trust that the college entrance exam questions won’t be a challenge for her either, right?" Yang Liwen spoke up before the principal, backing her into a corner.

"That’s right. All you have to do is take the test again in front of everyone. If your results match your current ones, the previous wager stands. Otherwise, you’ll be expelled from school forever, and you’ll have to avoid us whenever you see us," one of them said.

"Fine, I accept!" Shangguan You said, a cold smile on her lips. Her voice was light as she continued, "However, if I can prove my results are legitimate, then I want all the teachers who targeted me today to apologize to me in front of everyone. As for you, Teacher Yang, and the four of you, get out of this school forever. Never appear before me again."

As Shangguan You’s cold voice fell, a fresh wave of journalists suddenly flooded the area, tightly surrounding everyone. Countless microphones were pointed at Shangguan You, Yang Liwen, and the principal. Incessant questions were hurled their way.

"Miss, what did you mean by your earlier conversation? Did you really bribe teachers to get the exam answers in advance?"

"Is this practice of buying exam questions the reason your school’s academic results are higher than others?"

"Principal, were you aware that exam questions were being sold?"

"As for retaking the exam, miss, how confident are you?"

"If the results prove you cheated, miss, what will you do?"

"This practice of buying exam questions—are your parents aware of it? Or did they deliberately condone it?"

The surge of journalists and their pointed questions caught everyone off guard. Everyone’s faces changed slightly. What was initially a school issue had now escalated into a societal issue due to the journalists’ involvement.

Seeing the scene unfold before them, Li Ruo, Shen Jia, and their group had smug smiles playing on their lips, while the venom in Feng Shaomei’s eyes was impossible to hide.

Previously, Shangguan You had utterly ruined their reputations. Today, they wanted to make her taste the same bitterness.

What was supposed to be a simple announcement of grades before the holidays had turned into a major incident, causing everyone to wear grave expressions. Han Xiao shot Yang Liwen a fierce glare. If he hadn’t taken the lead in stirring things up, the situation wouldn’t have spiraled out of control.

In the bustling downtown, skyscrapers pierced the clouds. The tallest building in B City was the B City Entertainment Broadcasting Tower. This was Trans-Century International’s most renowned entertainment complex in the city, part of its conglomerate, boasting its own TV station and a comprehensive suite of in-house entertainment companies.

Speaking of Trans-Century International, it was considered a legendary existence. Despite weathering countless financial crises, its industries continued to expand across the nation and even internationally, with its headquarters established overseas. Wherever there were people, one could find a branch of Trans-Century International—be it large or small—all part of its global network.
