Chapter 173: Who Has Framed Her (5)
That student, Li Ze, couldn’t possibly be the mastermind behind this either as they did not have any beef with each other. Even if he was jealous that she scored better than him, he couldn’t have been and nor did he have the ability to be the mastermind.
Therefore, the mastermind behind this had to be someone who had a lot of capability to find Li Ze and give him enough benefits to do this.
Mu Huan planned to investigate this in two ways. First, from the possible beneficial dealings Li Ze had. Secondly, from the security cameras in the school’s office.
In order for the details of their answers from their two papers to be the same, they had to have copied according to her test paper. If it wasn’t Professor Wang, then someone must have infiltrated Professor Wang’s office, stole both their papers, and had Li Ze rewrite everything before placing the papers back.
The exam had happened only three days ago. Afraid that Professor Wang would mark their papers first, resulting in a lack of time, the opposite party must have stolen the papers on the day of the exam after it had ended. All she needed to do was to check who entered Professor Wang’s office after the professor had brought the test papers back to his office. That way, she would be able to lock in on the target scope.
Therefore, she had Wu Xingye hack into the school’s surveillance network and check the surveillance footage of what happened in the afternoon after the exam ended, until the next day before the professor reported for work.
However, when Wu Xingye had arrived and successfully hacked into the school’s surveillance network, he found out that the surveillance footage during that time had been lost!
“It seems like the other party is very careful and erased the surveillance footage during that time!”
Mu Huan remained silent for a moment before saying, “This person must be even more powerful and influential than I initially predicted if they could erase the school’s surveillance footage.”
“Then it should be easy to lock on to the target. Have you offended anyone who has power and influence recently?” Wu Xingye felt that Mu Huan probably offended someone without realizing it.
Mu Huan thought about it. “Apart from Long Feiting, there’s no one else.”
“Could it be that Long Feiting had found out about us?” Li Meng was stunned.
“If it’s him, then it will be trouble.” Although Mu Huan felt that Long Feiting shouldn’t have been able to find out that she was the one who was boxing that night, apart from Long Feiting, there wasn’t anyone else that she could have offended.
“Then what do we do?” Li Meng asked worriedly.
“Let’s be sure whether it is him or not before discussing it.” With that, Mu Huan had Wu Xingye investigate Li Ze’s accounts and see if there was any huge sum of money that had been recently deposited into it.
Wu Xingye looked through Li Ze’s accounts and those that belonged to his family and friends, but he did not find any suspicious money deposits.
Wu Xingye shook his head and said, “The other party was very careful about this. It is not going to be easy to find any evidence to prove your innocence.”
Mu Huan remained silent as her eyes darkened.
…
The news of Mu Huan cheating was getting worse around campus due to the deliberate exaggeration from some scheming people.
When everyone saw Mu Huan, they would all point the finger of blame at her.
“Look, that’s Mu Huan, the student who cheated. Who knows if her top scholar position had been due to cheating as well!”
“Copying someone’s answers almost the same and yet still refusing to admit it, keeping that face that says she is amazing and not afraid of exams at all. She is really something!”
“It seems like her moral standing isn’t that great!”
“With that being said, she might really be a third party who wanted to steal her best friend’s boyfriend!”
“Wow… You really can’t judge a book by its cover! And I was still supporting her before, thinking that she definitely couldn’t have been a third party and that Lin Qingya was just pretending to be innocent!”
“There is no knowing what is in a person’s heart!”
Under such circumstances, even Gu Chenyi who was fully aware of Mu Huan’s learning ability was swayed, what more the other students?
They initially thought that Mu Huan’s character was not bad and that she definitely could not have been a third party who tried to steal her best friend’s boyfriend. But now, they were all doubting their judgment and thinking that it was probable that Mu Huan was someone who tried to steal someone else’s boyfriend!
