“Hahahaha. Wu Duo is full of confidence. This is a very good thing. I don’t need to give Qiao Mei any further instructions. You’ve always been most consistent. Li Xue, don’t feel too stressed. Just read the questions carefully and you’ll be able to get very good results. I’ll see all of you at Capital University,” Yan Xi said.
Yan Xi was not only the principal of Sixth High, but also a professor in the Physics Department at Capital University. It was hard to get into his class and he only held classes twice a month. Every time he lectured at the university, the classroom would be filled to the brim. There were even students who brought their own stools to the classroom to attend his class and some who leaned in through the window.
Sometimes, he wished he could hold the class at the field so that students who wanted to attend but did not have a seat could also be part of the class.
“It’s a deal! You can’t go back on your word! When the time comes, we still want to be your students!” Li Xue said as she looked at Yan Xi happily.
“No problem! I’ll be waiting for you!” Yan Xi said.
Qiao Mei returned to the classroom, took her school bag and went home. The moment she reached home, she started to pack all the things she needed for the college entrance examination the day after tomorrow. She wanted to prepare two sets of stationery so that she had backups if the pens and erasers turned out to be faulty.
She opened her bag and rummaged through the compartment pocket for her examination pass, but there was nothing inside. There was no sign of her examination pass at all. There was no way she could have forgotten where she put it, which meant that someone must have stolen her examination pass.
However, there were no plants in the classroom and she had no way of knowing who had taken it. During that time, everyone had left the classroom and there was no witness. For a moment, Qiao Mei was in a daze, She really could not figure out who would want to sabotage her.
Xia Wen came to Qiao Mei’s house as soon as he got off work. He had been so busy during this period of time that he was unable to leave his workplace at all. He did not even have time to come and see Xia Fan and Xia Xing for the past few months, but he definitely needed to come by for something as important as Qiao Mei’s college entrance examination. He wanted to cheer Qiao Mei on so that she would feel more relaxed.
As soon as he pushed 0Den the study door, he saw Qiao Mei sweating
profusely and looking pale, as if something major had happened.
“Qiao Mei, what… what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Xia Wen asked anxiously.
Qiao Mei shook her head and said, “Eldest Brother, I’m fine. I might not be able to take the college entrance examination… I have lost my examination pass…”
“What! You lost your examination pass! Are you sure you didn’t leave it in the classroom and forgot to bring it back?” Xia Wen asked in shock.
“No, I’m sure I put it in my bag, but I can’t find it after I get home. Someone must have taken it,” Qiao Mei said helplessly.
“Are you enemies with anyone? Or is there anyone who’s jealous that you’re good at your studies? Or people who will deliberately make trouble for you,” Xia Wen asked.
“If you put it that way, there are too many people who are jealous of me,” Qiao Mei said.
For a moment, Xia Wen did not know what to say. The family had thought that Qiao Mei would at most get into a normal university, but they did not expect her results to be so good. Perhaps the top scorer in the city for this college entrance examination would be from their family! Everyone was caught up in the joy and excitement, but no one expected something bad to happen so quickly.
Xia Wen immediately made a call to the Education Department. He wanted to ask if he could get a replacement for the examination pass. However, even if he made use of the entire Xia family’s connections, he still might not be able to do it.
“Eldest Brother, maybe we should forget about it. With my capability, I can take the examination next year. I don’t have to take it this year,” Qiao Niei said.
“That won’t do! You’ve worked so hard for so long! We can’t give up now. I’ll go and contact everyone I know and search for it together!” Xia Wen said agitatedly.
Qiao Mei followed closely behind Xia Wen. The two of them hurriedly drove to the school to do a search. Yan Xi gathered all the teachers to help Qiao Mei find her examination pass. Even the staff from the Education Department came to help.
In everyone’s eyes, Qiao Mei was a rare talent. If she did well, she would be the pride of the entire capital. After she entered university and went on to participate in competitions, she could even win national awards.
“Everyone, get moving! We must find Qiao Mei’s examination pass today! If we can’t find it in the school, let’s go to the other students’ homes and ask them one by one! We must find it before the college entrance examination!” Yan Xi shouted at the crowd..
