Chapter 88 - Evidence

Mo Li was aloof as she stared at the two men who called themselves educators. "Sirs, I can't say I agree with your elitist theory either. Success is determined by hard work and not predestined. Plus where do you get the confidence and presumptuousness to negate other people's hard work anyway?"

Mo Li's questioning startled the two men. Their faces turned red and white. "I can't believe you are educators. The general public and myself are greatly disappointed by your words and actions."

Mo Yi also added in an icy tone, "These two young brats definitely do not qualify as educators."

"General public? Mo Li, are you livestreaming?! This is a violation of privacy!" The two men only then realized Mo Li had been livestreaming since she entered the boardroom.

Mo Li glanced indifferently at them. "According to the law, we are at a public place. In fact, the boardroom itself has surveillance cameras. Plus, I was merely invoking the right of the public to know how the organizers are handling the IMO."

Mo Li learned this little trick on set. From the paparazzi, she learned how to utilize the powerful device, that was the public opinion. And it worked swiftly. In less than a minute, the statements given by the 2 men gained traction on the internet.

Seeing this, the old crone immediately came forth to try to mediate, "Alright, let's stop fighting! We better move on from this topic and hear what the two officers have to say about the exam."

Qi Yu glanced at Mo Li, cautious of the phone in her hand. His tone had softened but not by a lot. "The conclusion is clear. There is something wrong with the results of this student's IMO paper."

"Is this how I've taught you? To come to conclusions so arbitrarily?" A voice boomed from the door. It sounded very familiar to Qi Yu and Fang Xun.

They looked up and realized it was Professor Tao Wen!

"Sir..."

"Sir!" Qi Yu argued, refusing to give up, "But she has been scoring the last place in school for the past few years, how could she suddenly come up with such a result!"

"That's right. Sir! You must have seen her test paper yourself, do you not have any suspicion?"

Prof. Tao Wen was so angry he could cough out blood. What are these people talking about?!

Teacher Sun and Mo Yi were speechless as well... For them, it was also quite surprising that Mo Li suddenly became so good at her studies... So they had no real argument on their side.

"That is why I believe we have to investigate this further. We must not rule out the possibility of cheating. After all, Sir, I hear you're also Mo Li's private tutor." The boardroom was silent for more than 10 seconds.

Professor Tao's face was flushed. He could not believe that his own student had just insinuated that he had cheated for Mo Li. This accusation was incredibly serious. To cheat during a national exam, that was severe. If the accusation was confirmed, it would be a stain on his career for life.

Qi Yu looked at Mo Li and demanded sternly, "Well, Miss Mo Li, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

"That's right, what do you have to say for yourself?" Fang Xun pressed.

Mo Li surprised them by answering calmly, "I don't even know what to say since you've come to accuse me of cheating without any evidence. That is just laughable."

Qi Yu was surprised by how collected Mo Li was. Looks like she is not as rumored by the other students, the young miss who only knew how to cry to her family! However, my nephew has always been a prime student since he was young, he wouldn't lie to me!

In contrast, this Mo Li's results have always been bad and her reputation is not good either. People like her don't deserve to be a part of IMO and tarnish the competition's sanctity!

"There is only one question that I wish to ask. You claim that I have cheated, where is your evidence? Have you confirmed my method of cheating? If you have, please show it to us."

"You..."

"Other than that, your statements today have severely injure me and my family's reputation. If you can't produce the evidence, I will seek legal reparation to protect the Mo Family's reputation."

The string of statements startled everyone. Mo Li radiated such a strong presence that it stunned everyone.

Qi Yu and Fang Xun's Adam Apples trembled. It did not feel like they were dealing with an ordinary high school student at all. An ordinary student would have been in a puddle faced with their interrogation.

But Mo Li was clear-headed and extremely logical. She had even managed to sway the board members in the room to her side!
