152 152 Leaving the exam hall
The teacher saw that not only did Tan Rou not admit her mistake but she was looking as if this was all just a joke. She was immediately displeased and scolded, “I’ve caught you in the act but you still refuse to admit your mistake! You’re hopeless!!”
Only then did Tan Rou turn her gaze to the invigilator. Her voice was faint and she said without any expression, “I did not.”
The invigilator was called Madam Lee, a middle-aged woman. She had been teaching at this school for years and had seen countless types of students.
At this moment, she was looking at Tan Rou with contempt, as if she had seen through her trick.
She had seen a lot of students who refused to admit their mistakes and went against their teachers. Did these students really think that they would be fine if they refused to admit it? In the end, they would always end up crying and would write a self-reflection letter to beg for forgiveness.
These students were the ones that would be looked down on by most people. They had the audacity to do such things but not the guts to admit to their mistake. They would not admit it unless the evidence was presented in front of them. Would teachers like her actually accuse their students without any evidence?!
She had already seen the note and compared it with the answer, yet this girl could still lie as if she had done nothing wrong.
Teacher Li’s face darkened and the deep wrinkles on her face seemed to be carved out by chalk.
She had already determined that Tan Rou was the same as her previous students. Tan Rou was afraid of not getting good grades and wanted to fool the others. She no longer needed to further investigate as she had already seen countless students like Tan Rou.
As Madam Li and Tan Rou argued, all the candidates in the classroom stopped what they were doing and looked in the same direction.
Tan Rou again? What did Madam Li discover?
Other than the sound of their pens answering the papers, there were noises that appeared in the exam hall as the students whispered to each other.
“Don’t be noisy! Answer your own paper! There’s only five minutes left before you have to hand them in!” The other invigilator quickly maintained order in the classroom. He gave a look to Teacher Li, signalling her to take Tan Rou out and in order not to affect the other students.
Madam Li raised her chin slightly and said to Tan Rou coldly, “You don’t need to take the test anymore. Go out and leave the paper to me. We’ll discuss what to do with you after this.”
Tan Rou was already mentally prepared for this but she was still angered by this arrogant teacher.
When such a problem occurred, she did not investigate it and even refused to listen to any explanation. She insisted on her own subjective ideas and directly put the blame on the students. How many of them who were actually innocent have been wronged by teachers like Madam Li?!
Tan Rou was unconvinced. She raised her head and asked, “Doesn’t the school have a rule that we can’t leave early for the exam? Why should I go out?”
Seeing that Tan Rou was still talking back to her, Madam Li was so angry that she chuckled. “We did not allow them to leave early because we wanted the students to take the exam seriously. You even brought a note to the exam hall. You were bold enough to do so and now, there’s no need for you to continue answering the paper.”
Tan Rou turned her head and glanced at Wei Ling. She saw that Wei Ling was looking straight at the paper in his hand and pretending to be busy but his legs were shaking uncontrollably. The trembling body of Weiling was enough to show that Wei Ling was not as calm as she looked and was instead feeling panic.
Wei Ling saw Tan Rou looking at her from the corner of her eye and the rest of the classroom was very restless. It would be too deliberate to pretend that she didn’t know anything. She could only pretend to be surprised and in disbelief. She looked back at Tan Rou as if to say, “How could you do such things?!”
Tan Rou laughed sarcastically. “Wei Ling, did you see me cheating?”
Wei Ling didn’t expect Tan Rou to ask her directly. She smiled awkwardly and answered, “I was doing the questions and didn’t look up.”
Tan Rou turned to look at Madam Li. “Then, Madam Li, did you see me cheating with your own eyes? You’re saying that I’m cheating just because of a small note under my seat?”
Madam Li felt that she had been provoked and her attitude towards tan Rou became even worse. “Do you still want me to see it with my own eyes? We’ll find out after we check the surveillance video. Now, as a teacher, I’m asking you to leave the exam hall immediately!”
Tan Rou picked up the small note on the table, looked at it back and forth, and sneered. “I really don’t need such useless notes. If I’m proven innocent after checking the surveillance footage, what do you plan to do?”
Madam Li snatched the note away, afraid that Tan Rou would tamper with the evidence. She was also provoked by Tan Rou’s words.
She replied arrogantly without even thinking, “Then, I’ll apologize to you and admit that I’ve wronged you. However, the possibility of that is almost zero. The surveillance cameras are 360 degrees. Don’t ever think that you would be able to get away with this!”
