“Young lady, that’s not how you build your image. Pretending to be someone you’re not will bring down the thunder,” another male student jeered.
The principals of Fengcheng No.l High School and Jiangcheng Experimental School only watched from the side and did not have any intention of stopping them.
Lu Miao did not mind. She just looked up at them.” Can I?”
The principal of Fengcheng No.l High School looked at her curiously and nodded.” Sure.”
He had heard numerous rumors about Lu Miao, some true and some false, making it difficult to discern the truth. He was also curious to know if this so-called super genius, who had been hyped up by Principal Xu, was genuine or not.
Lu Miao’s participation in the competition was confirmed.
All the contestants knew about the competition before they participated in the competition. They had specially familiarized themselves with the training.
After a discussion, they decided to give her an afternoon to familiarize herself with the preparations.
The rematch was scheduled for the next morning.
The crowd dispersed, and all the students went back to study.
Lu Miao bypassed the others and went straight to the surveillance room.
Inside the surveillance room, technicians were working diligently to repair and identify the cause of the malfunctioning surveillance system.
“I have checked all the cameras in the maze, and they are all intact without any
Signs of deliberate damage The main server cannot he accessed at the moment. It will take at least two days to repair. Only after the server is fixed can we determine the cause,” the technician said with a tinge of guilt.
Approaching the keyboard, Lu Miao began typing rapidly, and moments later, the sound of the server booting up filled the room.
The technicians beside her were completely astonished by her actions. How… how did she fix it? They had been struggling with it for quite a while, and two days was their estimated timeframe for repairs.
Yet, this little girl managed to fix it in just a few minutes?
With the server repaired, Lu Miao accessed the main disk and carefully examined the surveillance footage. It abruptly stopped five minutes before the incident involving the injured student. Prior to that, several other participants in the maze were in proximity to him.
Based solely on their positions, it was impossible to determine who was responsible.
The timing and location were perfectly controlled, indicating that this was no accident.
Lu Miao pursed her lips and left the surveillance room, heading downstairs back to the classroom.
Seeing that she had returned, a group of students immediately surrounded her.
“Boss, where did you go? I’m telling you, it must be that Huang guy who sabotaged it from behind. He came earlier, showing off and acting all superior. Clearly, he’s not a good person. Be careful of him in the competition,” Shen Muxuan anxiously said.
The other students around him also agreed. “He must be afraid that he wouldn’t win the championship, so he deliberately eliminated his most powerful opponent.”
Lu Miao lightly tapped her fingertips on the desk. “The surveillance was deliberately tampered with. Someone destroyed it from the outside at the right moment while another person took the opportunity to act inside the maze. It requires precise coordination and leaving no traces. This is not something that can be done by a single person.”
“Huang Zihao is indeed arrogant and conceited, but he is also prideful and upright. If he dislikes someone or feels challenged by them, he will directly confront that person without resorting to underhanded tactics from behind.”
The surrounding people fell into deep thought after hearing this.
The hospital soon sent news that the injured student had woken up.
However, due to the concussion, he had temporary amnesia. He couldn’t remember what had happened in the maze.
He also did not remember how he was injured.
He wasn’t sure when he would be able to recover. It might be a few days, or a few months.
Without evidence, the person involved had forgotten everything, and they could not call the police.
At this point, it seemed that Zhenhai High School could only accept their misfortune.
For a while, the atmosphere in the entire school became somewhat oppressive.
In the afternoon, Li Sihai came to the classroom to find Lu Miao and took her to the principal’s office.
All the other students had gone through training and walked through the maze.
Although they knew that Lu Miao was a genius, they were still worried.
The two of them provided Lu Miao with a stack of maze structure materials for her to review.
After leaving the principal’s office, Lu Miao walked directly towards the school gate.
She had only taken a few steps when she heard a voice from behind saying, “Lu Miao.”
An unfamiliar male voice sounded behind her.
Lu Miao turned around and saw a boy standing behind her.
As if afraid of being seen by others, her face turned pale and she looked around nervously. After making sure that there was no one else around, she quickly walked to Lu Miao.
Lu Miao had an impression of him. She had seen him on the field before.
He was a participant in the Jiangcheng Experimental School Year Three.
Because all the contestants had name tags on their bodies, she glanced at Chu Qingyang.
“Is there something you need?”
The boy put something into her hand and whispered,” Be careful of Han Fei from Fengcheng No.l High School.”
Without waiting for Lu Miao to speak, he turned around and left.
Lu Miao opened her hand, and a small black memory card lay in her palm.
It was probably because he had pinched it for too long that the memory card still had the residual warmth of his hand.
Han Fei from Fengcheng High School?
Lu Miao narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment. He was a very inconspicuous boy.
He was shorter than the average boy, had a short buzz cut, and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
He was wearing a simple gray T-shirt and washed jeans.
He looked very honest and timid. He stood silently in the corner and almost did not have a sense of existence.
If it weren’t for the competition name tag in front of him, she might not have noticed him at all.
A student from Jiangcheng Experimental School came to remind her to pay attention to the people from Fengcheng No.l High School?
She looked down at the memory card in her hand and put it away.
Because she had been delayed in the principal’s office for a while, she returned to the Gu residence a little late.
Gu Jinxi waited for her at the door every day.
When he saw her return, he immediately went forward to take her bag with a smile.
“Second Sister-in-law, why don’t I pick you up after school? I don’t have anything to do at home anyway. I guarantee that it’ll be safe and fast.”
“No need. You can stay at home and study.”
Lu Miao immediately refused. She already had enough headaches with Gu Shiyu and Shen Muhao occasionally going crazy and picking her up in luxury cars.
If Gu Jinxixi got involved as well, who knows what kind of rumors would spread.
While Gu Jinxi was trying hard to persuade her, Lu Miao and Gu Ziheng turned and entered the door together. Gu Ziheng happened to be holding a bowl of freshly cooked porridge as he came out from inside, intending to give it to Gu Xingyu.
The three of them collided, and the hot porridge in the bowl spilled straight towards Lu Miao..
