Chapter 72: Chapter 069 Clearing the Fog
In the afternoon, at Experintal Middle School.
The principal pushed open the door to the computer room and looked at the several horoom teachers inside, asking, “Has the final ranking co out yet?”
Today, schools across the city were to input the scores into the computers, after which the rankings would be automatically generated.
However, since each school was inputting at different tis, the rankings were constantly shifting and had not yet settled.
“It should be ready in a little while.”
The one answering the principal was the horoom teacher of the best class at Experintal Middle School, Class Three, Bi Hezhong.
He used to be Jiang Yan’s horoom teacher, and because of his good grades during the middle school exams, Jiang Yan had been assigned to Class Three.
Unfortunately, he only lasted one sester, as his grades began to plumt from the second sester of his first year in high school. By the ti students were divided into arts and sciences in the second year, Bi Hezhong had sent him off to the humanities class.
Later on, Jiang Yan got into a fight with students from Class Three, and under the strong insistence and behind-the-scenes maneuvering by this horoom teacher, there was no opportunity for a school-wide announcent or major derits; he was directly expelled.
Now, Bi Hezhong watched the nas flickering on the screen with each refresh by the operator, and suddenly his expression froze, and he blurted out, “Wait a minute.”
The operator stopped refreshing and turned to look.
Bi Hezhong stared at the na ranked 42nd in the city and frowned. Looking further, Yunzhou No. 1 High School?
Was it the sa person?
It should be a coincidence of nas.
After all, when Jiang Yan left, he was a humanities student, and it was near the end of his second year of high school. Besides, he had received definite news that Jiang Yan had gone back to the countryside.
“What’s wrong?”
The principal was puzzled.
Bi Hezhong pointed to the page and said, “This ti, among the top fifty nas, Yunzhou No. 1 High School has taken twenty spots. Zhu Zhen even scored 713, just two points shy of Wang Lei. Principal, No. 1 High School has made significant progress this ti.”
Besides, the top student in the physics competition from the province as well as the fifth place are both from Yunzhou No. 1 High School.
Yunzhou No. 1 High School is looking to turn things around this year!
The principal leaned closer to the computer, took the mouse, and started scrolling down. There were only twelve students in the entire city with scores over 700, and No. 1 High School had five of them, with the rest from their own school.
But Zhu Zhen’s score of 713 was the second-highest in the city, with the top score belonging to Wang Lei from their school, at 715.
The mock exam was quite tough, so for Wang Lei to maintain his previous score was already impressive, but Zhu Zhen… The principal recalled that Zhu Zhen hadn’t even reached 700 in the first mock exam.
Putting down the mouse, the principal turned to Bi Hezhong, “Keep a closer eye on Wang Lei and the others recently, see if they can push further, even an extra five points would help.”
Bi Hezhong nodded in agreent.
…..
In the cafeteria of Yunzhou No. 1 High School.
Having been acquainted for nearly two months, Yu Hang and Xiao Qi were already familiar with Jiang Yan, and Xiao Qi also learned about Jiang Yan’s past at Experintal Middle School. Now he asked without any hesitation.
“What were you expelled for?”
“Was it for fighting? Who hasn’t been in a fight? To get expelled just for fighting, how severe was it?”
Severe?
It’s as if two lifetis had passed when he recalled the events; Jiang Yan finally saw through the fog and uncovered the truth.
He still couldn’t rember the na of the buzz-cut boy who had co to look for him at Yunzhou No. 1 High School last ti, but over the past few days, he vaguely rembered it was because of their fight that he got expelled.
Back then, when his father had an accident, so boys at school who had issues with him spoke offensively, but whether the fight started over that, he couldn’t clearly rember anymore.
But Teacher Bi, he rembered!
His horoom teacher during his first year of high school, who was very unfriendly towards him, and later, it was he who insisted on expelling him.
It was not him who started the provocation, nor was it him who threw the first punch, but in the end, he was the one who got expelled.
It seed like… Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, recalling carefully. In the second sester of his freshman year, he went hiking in the suburbs once and vaguely saw soone with the surna Bi embracing a woman.
And that woman was the wife of Shu Wan’s younger cousin, whom he was supposed to address as ‘auntie.’
Since he didn’t have much contact with the Shu family, not to ntion his cousins and their spouses, Jiang Yan saw them but pretended not to, and soon forgot about the incident.
Now that he thought about it, Bi’s insistence on expelling him was almost certainly related to this.
Damn!
Jiang Yan couldn’t help but curse, causing Xiao Qi, Yu Hang, and even Song Jiawen, who was sitting across from him, to turn their heads and look over.
Curiosity shone bright in their eyes.
But how could he possibly discuss this with the girls?
After dinner, when Song Jiawen and Zhu Jin, along with the other girls, had left first, Jiang Yan confided the real reason behind his expulsion to the curious Xiao Qi and Yu Hang.
“Bi Hezhong? You’re saying Bi Hezhong and your auntie?”
The star head teacher of Experintal Middle School—everyone knew him.
Xiao Qi’s eyes blazed with the fire of gossip, “Tell
more, what were they doing? Did they… you know?”
Jiang Yan slapped him on the back of the head, “Have you even grown all your hair yet, talking about ‘you know’? Let’s go, back to the classroom.”
“But, brother Yan, you’re not planning to just let this slide silently, are you?”
The three walked on the road when Xiao Qi turned his head to ask Jiang Yan.
He rembered how viciously Jiang Yan had fought when they clashed with the kids from Experintal Middle School last ti; he didn’t seem like soone who would suffer in silence.
Of course, Jiang Yan couldn’t just let it go. He hadn’t thought about it before, but now that he rembered, he had to reclaim what was his, with interest.
“What do you plan to do?”
Xiao Qi was extrely interested, with the clear intention of getting involved.
“If you need help, just say the word.”
Yu Hang, who had been silent until now, also spoke up. Such hypocritical teachers were the most despicable, yet every year, one could hear of them being awarded ‘Outstanding Teacher,’ ‘Star Head Teacher,’ ‘Promising Young Educator’… dals too nurous to count.
Such a person deserved to have his facade ripped off, exposing his true face completely.
Jiang Yan sighed. Initially, he had planned to focus on his studies and address any issues after the college entrance exams.
But now…
Waiting until after the exams, wouldn’t that be letting Bi Hezhong off too easily?
“Don’t worry about it for now. I’ll find soone to keep an eye on him for a while, to see if he is still involved with my auntie.”
If he rembered correctly, Shu Wan’s younger cousin ran his own factory in Yunzhou and was quite a successful business owner.
His wife was nearly ten years younger than him, very pretty, and a graduate of Yunzhou Normal University—a forr student of Shu Wan’s.
The next afternoon, Jiang Yan left the school to et Huang Mao, oh, he should be called ‘Number Two.’
He gave him two addresses and told him to scout those areas more when he collected scrap computers, then he got into the van and headed to Experintal Middle School.
It was a tily arrival; just as they parked the van, they saw Bi Hezhong coming out of the school with two young male teachers.
“The tallest one in the middle, with the human face and dog’s appearance, that’s him. Keep a close eye on him recently.”
Huang Mao squinted, morizing Bi Hezhong’s features, and gritted his teeth, “Dare to ss with my bro, I’ll finish him!”
Jiang Yan warned, “Don’t do anything rash, okay? You’re just responsible for tailing. Use the cara to snap pictures of the people he ets. Try it, see if it works?”
Yu Hang had provided him with the latest popular foolproof cara, which had quite high resolution; even long-range photos were clear.
In fact, for soone familiar with the subject, one could recognize them by their silhouette alone, even if the photo wasn’t clear.
