Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Slapping Fu Chen’s Face, Sending Him Offline! (3)
The file was named with four characters — [Fu Chen Answers]
Fu Chen, Answers.
The two words "Fu Chen" had already spelled out the name, who else could it be but someone sitting in the same classroom with them?
But isn’t this Director Liu’s computer? Which means Director Liu knows Fu Chen??
And what’s the deal with this answer? What is this answer about?
Huo Yu said this file was deleted a week ago, which means it couldn’t possibly be referring to the answers Fu Chen wrote in his exam a few days ago.
Could it be that these answers were already prepared a week ago??
While everyone was speculating about the contents of the file, Lu Sheng on the stage couldn’t help but take a deep breath, her expression somewhat solemn.
When she wrote that note earlier, she did indeed want to ask Huo Yu if it was possible to find traces of tampering and replacing her exam papers in the system.
But she hadn’t expected that Huo Yu not only hacked into the admissions office’s internal system but also invaded that certain Director Liu’s private computer. What surprised her even more was that Huo Yu actually proceeded to display his operation on the projector screen.
Invading the admissions office’s system is illegal, and invading someone else’s private computer and infringing on their privacy is even more illegal.
Huo Yu should be clearer about this than she was, so why would he showcase this so blatantly in front of the entire class?
Perhaps seeing Lu Sheng on the stage looking towards him, Huo Yu’s gaze passed through the crowd and gave Lu Sheng a look.
Just a fleeting exchange of glances.
But Lu Sheng could see, Huo Yu was signaling her not to worry, he had everything under control.
Although she didn’t understand the reason, Lu Sheng could only continue, turning her head to look at Fu Chen.
Her gaze turned cold in a flash: "Fu Chen, aren’t you going to explain?"
Right after she spoke, Fu Chen leaped up like a furious dog provoked, almost cursing out loud.
"Explain? I’ve nothing to fucking explain!"
Fu Chen had lost all of his usual pretense and manners of a rich heir and turned to yell at Huo Yu at the back of the classroom.
"Huo Yu, have you lost your mind? You are infringing on someone’s privacy right now! You’re committing a crime!"
"I’m calling the police on you right now, you believe me?! I’m telling you, you’re done!"
But Huo Yu’s reaction was very calm.
He looked at Fu Chen as one would look at a clown.
"Fu Chen’s first reaction upon seeing this file isn’t confusion or trying to defend himself, instead, he accuses me of committing a crime and wants to call the police. That’s very strange."
"Whether I’m breaking the law or getting arrested, that’s my business. Right now, the most important thing should be for you to clarify your relationship with this Director Liu."
As Huo Yu’s words fell, everyone in the classroom, including Mr. Zhou Wu on the podium, looked towards Fu Chen.
At this moment, Fu Chen felt an unprecedented chill in his hands and feet, as if his blood was flowing backward.
His heart raced to a hundred and eighty miles per hour, yet it felt like he couldn’t even feel it beating. He felt breathless, his hands and head going numb.
But even with his mind buzzing due to this sudden turn of events, Fu Chen remembered one thing—
He must not admit it, absolutely not! If he did, he’d be truly finished.
So, he abruptly raised his head and said to Huo Yu: "What Director Liu, I don’t know him at all, don’t you fucking slander me here!"
Then he turned aggressively towards Zhou Wu.
"Mr. Zhou, Huo Yu is causing trouble in class and you don’t care? Who knows where that screen came from, do we just believe whatever he says?"
"Besides, where would that country bumpkin Huo Yu get that kind of ability, to hack into the admissions system and other people’s computers, as if he’s making a movie? It’s simply nonsensical!"
"Huo Yu’s got a good relationship with Lu Sheng, right? He must be trying to frame me so she can get out of trouble! Or maybe he’s just jealous of me and doesn’t want me to secure the special admissions seat!"
Fu Chen ranted like a madman, even his words clearly lacking in logic.
However, it was clear to everyone there, including Zhou Wu and the other students in the class.
Fu Chen couldn’t possibly not know this Director Liu.
If he truly didn’t know him, he would not be so agitated now.
"Fu Chen, it’s my duty to investigate the matter of Lu Sheng cheating."
"No matter what, I have to give her and Huo Yu the opportunity to explain themselves."
Mr. Zhou Wu maintained his usual righteousness. Hearing the teacher say this, Huo Yu looked up and said, "Thank you, teacher."
"Since Fu Chen claims he doesn’t know this Director Liu, the name on this document must belong to someone who just happens to share his name."
"Since that’s the case, let’s just open the file and see."
Saying that, Huo Yu really just double-clicked and opened the file.
And the contents of the document were just as everyone had speculated, indeed the answers for all subjects of this special admissions exam starting from Chinese.
However, what was outrageous was that it wasn’t just the answers, but at the end of the Chinese paper, there was even a pre-written essay.
Everyone there had been in school for so many years, when had they ever seen reference answers provided for an essay in a Chinese exam?
It was like a perfectly prepared full-score essay.
This time, the Chinese exam essay was based on a picture prompt.
The picture depicted an oil bottle placed on the edge of a table, looking as if it could topple and shatter on the ground at any moment.
And the title of the essay in the document was "The Toppling Oil Bottle I Shall Not Prop Up," which sounded rather novel and insightful just from the title.
"Actually, when everyone saw the grades and the rankings, I think there must have been some surprise," Huo Yu continued in an even tone.
"Fu Chen has never been able to rank within the top five in normal exams, with a best total score of just over 700, but this time he scored 738, even surpassing Lu Youming in mathematics. Doesn’t that seem strange to everyone?"
"Whether it was an exceptional performance, or the real cheat who got the answers in advance and copied during the exam was Fu Chen."
"I think, if Mr. Zhou opens Fu Chen’s Chinese exam paper and looks at his essay title, we’ll know."
As Huo Yu finished speaking, Mr. Zhou Wu took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
Just now when verifying Lu Sheng’s case, he had directly displayed Lu Sheng’s paper for comparison.
Now that suspicions pointed to Fu Chen, he naturally did the same.
Mr. Zhou Wu quickly found Fu Chen’s Chinese exam paper in the stack of papers returned by the admissions office, then opened it and scrolled down.
At that moment, Fu Chen probably really went mad.
He actually screamed out loud, his eyes red as he grabbed a chair and charged towards the podium, looking like he was intending to smash the large screen.
However, it was too late.
Mr. Zhou Wu’s mouse had already scrolled to the essay section.
The glaring title "The Toppling Oil Bottle I Shall Not Prop Up" on the large screen was all too conspicuous.
