Chapter 1756 Slander
“Do you have any evidence?” Qiao Mei asked calmly.
“Your test papers are the best evidence! I heard the teacher say that you did not make any amendments to your answers! How can that be if you hadn’t copied the answers from somewhere! You must already know the answers and have memorized them earlier!” Bian Chi said.
“You have to know that if it is proven that I didn’t cheat, what you’re doing now is slander. To put it across more seriously, you’re framing me and you’ll have to go to jail for it. If I go to the Public Security Bureau to report it, they can come and arrest you.” Qiao Mei then looked at the other people in the class and said, “Who else agrees with her that I cheated? Then you’re considered an accomplice and have committed the same crime.”
The students in the surroundings did not know if there was such a law. Most of them were common people who had never come into contact with the law.
Qiao Mei also did not know if this law already existed in this era, but as long as it sounded scary enough, she did not care about its authenticity.
The number of people slandering Qiao Mei had clearly decreased by now and everyone hesitated to speak. However, Qiao Mei’s score was really too high, ridiculously high. They had all scored 20 to 30 points and only Qiao Mei scored full marks for all the subjects. How could they not be suspicious of her?
Bian Chi forced herself to stay firm and shouted, “You must be lying! I don’t know what slander and framing someone is. I don’t believe what you say! I’m telling the truth! You must have cheated! You’re now just finding excuses to cover up the fact that you cheated!”
Qiao Mei could not be bothered to argue with Bian Chi. It was so boring, and even a little childish, to be fighting here among themselves. Qiao Mei did not have the patience to continue wasting time with Bian Chi.
At this moment, Wu Duo walked in. Everyone’s attention was drawn to him and he looked back at everyone in confusion, asking, “What… what are you doing?”
“Brother Wu Duo, come over here quickly! Don’t be deceived by that woman! She cheated in the exam! Everyone is condemning her! We’re going to demand an explanation from the teacher!” Bian Chi softened her tone a lot when she spoke to Wu Duo and it gave Qiao Mei goosebumps all over her body.
She realized that Bian Chi was causing trouble for her because of a man. She thought that Bian Chi was truly an “envoy of justice”. It looked like she had really thought too highly of that woman.
Sigh… There was now another stupid woman in this world. Actually nope, this stupid woman already existed. She was just unlucky enough to have bumped into such a woman.
“No! Who exactly said that Qiao Mei cheated? You’ve all misunderstood! I sat beside her and saw with my own eyes that she did the test papers herself! She didn’t cheat! I can testify for her!” Wu Duo explained.
“You’re just attracted to this woman! The two of you must be having an affair! She’s your mistress! Of course you’re on her side! We don’t believe what you say!” a boy leaning against the wall shouted.
Qiao Mei pointed at the boy and said, “I remember your name is Li Niu. Which eye of yours saw me having an ambiguous relationship with him? You’d better make yourself clear! I’m a married woman and I’m also pregnant. If you want to slander me, you have to consider if you have the clout to do so!”
Qiao Mei was a military spouse and it was not a small matter to slander a military spouse. If the situation was serious enough, the perpetrator could be fined and detained! Qiao Mei had no intention to talk about her family background in class. The school must have already done background checks and knew Qiao Mei’s identity.
Even without the Xia family’s backing, just the fact that she had given tens of thousands of tons of modified seeds to the country for free was a meritorious act that could ensure her safety for the rest of her life.
Wu Duo glared at Li Niu furiously and said, “Shut up! Don’t spout nonsense! Come out and apologize to us!”
“The two of you are having an affair! Am I wrong? You dare to do it but don’t dare to admit it!” Li Niu shouted angrily.
Wu Duo was so angry that he rushed forward to fight with Li Niu. No one dared to go forward to stop the fight, worried that they would get accidentally injured. Not long after, Wu Li rushed over when he heard the commotion.
“Stop! Both of you, stop!” Wu Li shouted loudly. Seeing that the two of them were indifferent to his yells, Wu Li picked up the ruler and smacked the two of them hard, forcing them to separate.
“The two of you, stand to the side! Wu Duo, get up!” Wu Li said angrily.
This matter had become difficult to handle. One was the person whom the higher-ups had specially instructed them to take good care of, and the other one was the person who had relied on him to come to this class.
Yes, Wu Duo was his sister’s child and he was Wu Duo’s uncle.
