Chapter 117: Gathering Evidence (1/2)

Principal Gao naturally couldn’t dismiss Teacher Yan.

He had been an outstanding teacher for many years, and although he never had a top scorer under his tutelage, all the teachers knew the reasons behind it.

Principal Gao wiped the corner of his eyes, stood up, and took out a prepared red envelope with two thousand yuan from his pocket.

Teacher Yan refused to accept it.

He persistently declined.

Principal Gao forcefully placed it in his pocket, which had been worn for several years and immediately tore open.

“Teacher Yan, you might refuse others, but you can’t refuse mine! Argue with me again, and I’ll immediately organize a school-wide donation!”

Teacher Yan had no choice.

He coughed twice, nodded at Principal Gao, and left the room.

Returning to the classroom, he stood at the back door window, tiptoeing to look at the students.

It was the same as always.

When he wasn’t around, they made noise.

Sigh…

He wondered how many more years he could watch over them…

“Zhao Qingfeng!”

Teacher Yan quickly targeted Zhao Qingfeng, walked into the class, came up close, and slammed the desk, “What are you doing! When I’m not here, you’re whispering to Shen Lingyao, plotting something bad?”

Teacher Yan had his suspicions, especially after the incident with Wang Qiang.

Plus, Zhao Qingfeng was known for his clever ideas and always coming up with new tricks.

“…”

Zhao Qingfeng kept silent and humbly acknowledged his fault.

Teacher Yan then turned to Shen Lingyao, who also remained silent, her eyes slightly moist.

Teacher Yan was furious, “Zhao Qingfeng, did you bully Shen Lingyao?”

Zhao Qingfeng hurriedly explained, “Teacher, you’re mistaken. I didn’t bully her. It’s just that I got a problem wrong, and she cried over it…”

Just that?

If it weren’t for Teacher Yan’s discomfort from coughing, he would have severely reprimanded Zhao Qingfeng today.

He coughed again, gave a few instructions, and then walked away.

“Teacher Yan won’t die, right…”

After he left, Shen Lingyao couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.

“Definitely not.”

Zhao Qingfeng had quietly told Shen Lingyao, and he had also found out what the disease was about.

Severe coughing isn’t necessarily a bad sign; it indicates that it’s still in the early stage and the lungs still have the function to expel toxins.

If the coughing stops, that’s when it’s really scary.

So, there’s still time. He reassured Shen Lingyao about the week’s plan, comforted her until she stopped crying, and then turned to look at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang hadn’t heard them; he was engrossed in studying, scratching his head over a difficult problem.

After explaining, Zhao Qingfeng checked the other problems Zhang Yang had done. Not bad, with an accuracy rate of 85%.

And he had taught all these question types; the university entrance exam shouldn’t be much different.

“The results of the third mock may not be good. Prepare to be punished on Friday.”

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly said.

“Ah? Ah! What? No, I’ve been studying really hard!”

Zhang Yang’s face flipped back and forth, not taking it seriously.

But Zhao Qingfeng knew the second mock exam had just matched the types he taught, so Zhang Yang had improved by over a hundred points.

If the third mock exam is easy but the questions don’t match, Zhang Yang could end up with poor results.

“Zhang Yang, I’m serious. If you don’t do well on the third mock, don’t get upset. You hear me? The real battle is on the university entrance exam.”

“Ah?”

“Ah nothing, do you believe me?”

“I do.”

“Do you believe me more or your dad?”

“Of course, I believe you more. My dad doesn’t understand anything.”

“Then that’s settled. If your dad hits you, stay firm, don’t give up. Hold on until the end of the university entrance exam, and give your dad a surprise!”

“Okay, Brother Zhao, don’t worry. If my dad dares to hit me, I’ll smash our house’s windows!”

After saying that, Zhang Yang continued to study without any direction.

After calming him down, Zhao Qingfeng also started his afternoon review.

Soon it was evening.

After Zhao Qingfeng and Shen Lingyao went home, they immediately took the family’s DV.

Chun Tao’er had said it was about to end, right?

Probably after the third mock exam, they might not be able to go to the internet cafe anymore.
