149 149 Pretending to be confused

Wei Ling made up her mind and secretly hid the paper she had prepared in her hand. It would come in handy later.

The students waited for a while and it was finally time for the exam.

Two invigilators walked into the classroom and conducted a security check on the students in the examination hall according to the regulations. There were many rich kids in this school. Although it was a discipline school, the management was very humane. Students were usually allowed to bring their mobile phones to school but they were particularly strict when it came to their examination.

This was because, in their school, the biggest punishment was not for dating or fighting but cheating in exams.

The new principal came from the military and had a strong sense of justice. He hated fraud most and he was almost harsh on the student’s character. Before every examination, he would emphasise that it was not shameful to have bad grades but cheating was someone that had to be severely punished.

This was also why Tan Jing had come up with the idea of slandering Tan Rou for cheating. As long as Tan Rou’s cheating was confirmed, then whether it was reason or the school system, they would not allow tan Rou to continue staying in the school.

The students also understood the school’s rules. No one had the guts to openly challenge the principal. They all handed over their phones and other electronic devices and sat in their seats obediently.

It couldn’t be helped. The principal had requested that no matter how good or bad one’s studies were, they had to treat the exam seriously. Therefore, they couldn’t sleep, lean on the table, or bring in the papers in advance.

This was also one of Tan Jing and Wei Ling’s considerations. If Tan Rou didn’t know anything and went to sleep or left early as soon as the exam began, their plan couldn’t be implemented.

However, the school had a rule that Tan Rou had to stay in her seat obediently before the exam was over and so Wei Ling would have plenty of time.

Tan Rou also turned off her phone and walked to the podium to hand it over to the teacher. On her way back, she happened to bump into Wei Ling. Their eyes met and Wei Ling was the first to look away. Perhaps it was because she felt guilty but she pretended to be calm and greeted Tan Rou. “What a coincidence, we’re in the same exam hall!”

Tan Rou didn’t say anything. She kept staring at Wei Ling until Wei Ling became nervous and there were cold sweats that started to appear on her forehead. Tan Rou smiled. “Indeed … What a coincidence.” Then, she gave Wei Ling a meaningful look, turned around, and returned to her seat.

Wei Ling heaved a long sigh of relief and clenched his slightly sweaty hands. She was definitely afraid of the gaze that came from Tan Rou.

When Tan Rou stared at her without a word, she almost wanted to tell her the whole plan. Tan Rou’s gaze was too domineering and she made others feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, Tan Rou’s domineering appearance from the past few incidents had been lingering in Wei Ling’s mind. So, when Tan Rou stood in front of her with an imposing aura, Wei Ling wanted to run. She felt that she was just like everyone else, unable to withstand a single blow from Tan Rou.

Wei Ling clenched her fists tightly and comforted herself that everything was just an illusion. Tan Rou couldn’t have known in advance. Even if she suspected that Wei Ling would do something, there was no evidence. She shouldn’t panic!

Once Tan Rou saw through her guilty conscience, everything would be over. She had no way out and so she could only brace herself and rush forward!

Little did she know that in Tan Rou’s eyes, Wei Ling’s behaviour was already suspicious and guilty.

Tan Rou didn’t think much about being assigned to this test field. It was the same no matter where she took the test. It might have been a coincidence that she was assigned to the same test as Wei Ling.

However, this kind of coincidence could be easily used by Tan Jing.

The moment Tan Rou saw Wei Ling, she knew that Tan Jing would not be here herself. If she wanted to do something, she could only assign this task to Wei Ling.

Just now, when the two of them exchanged glances, Tan Rou deliberately put pressure on Wei Ling silently to watcher her reaction. As expected, before Tan Rou could say anything, the silent gaze had already made Wei Ling feel guilty.

Wei Ling’s fleeting gaze and awkward greeting were strange in every way. The only thing missing were the words “I want to harm you” written on her face.

Tan Rou sneered. Not only was she not worried, she was also looking forward to what kind of idiotic idea they would come up with to frame her.

The exam hadn’t even started yet and Wei Ling was already so nervous. It must have been hard on her. Tan Jing really didn’t have anyone useful on her side.

Tan Rou looked back at Wei Ling with a wicked smile. Wei Ling’s heart trembled as she forced a smile at Tan Rou, pretending that she didn’t know anything. In the eyes of others, Wei Ling was trying to be friendly with Tan Rou.

Tan Rou also pretended to be confused. She narrowed her eyes and smiled back at Wei Ling. The two of them had their own thoughts and undercurrents flowing in the dark, but at this time, they were smiling like a pair of best friends which was extremely strange.
