Chapter 12 — Reliving Before the University Exam, I Tear Up the Conspiracy to Steal Direct Admissions

Teacher Chu's face turned pale.

"To Duong."

"Don't be too much."

"Is it too much?"

I turned on the recording function on my phone.

"I'm just afraid..."

"Tomorrow someone will say..."

"I was the one who hid her exam notice."

Hua Niem Niem's crying suddenly stopped. She looked at me... As if realizing for the first time... I would no longer follow the path she had laid out for me. In the afternoon, check exam room information. All students from each grade gathered in the hall. I sat in the last row. Khuong Tuyet sat right next to her. She looked like she was protecting a flower pot that she had just stolen from a pack of wolves. Hua Niem Niem did not sit in the same class. She stood next to Mr. Chu in the front row. After her mother was taken away, there were fewer people on her side. Even the crying... It's much smaller. The principal stepped up to the podium to speak.

"The university entrance exam is near. All students must absolutely not spread unverified information. The school will protect the rights of all candidates."

Khuong Tuyet lowered her voice.

"Every time I hear him say he will protect the students, I just hope he sees who he is protecting."

I opened the exam room information sheet and checked my full name and identification number. Trieu Khai came from the front, holding a form in his hand.

"To Duong, please sign the confirmation for me."

After I finished signing, he still didn't leave. Khuong Tuyet raised her eyebrows.

"Class rep, is there anything else?"

Trieu Khai spoke dryly.

"Yesterday... what I said in the class group was incorrect."

"I'm sorry."

I looked at him.

"You don't have to take my side."

"Just tell the truth."

Trieu Khai nodded and quickly walked away. On the podium, the principal was still talking about honest testing. At that moment... The side door of the hall was suddenly pushed open. Hua's mother stood at the door, her hair disheveled, her face still covered in tears that had not yet been wiped away. She was not detained. I was only asked to testify and then let go home. As soon as she saw her mother, Hua Niem Niem immediately ran over. Hua's mother hugged her tightly, crying so much that the whole hall could hear.

"My daughter..."

"Mom almost didn't make it home."

All the students turned their heads to look. The principal's face turned pale.

"Hua's parents."

"This is the meeting before the exam."

"Please go out first."

Mother Hua not only did not go. On the contrary, he pulled Hua Niem Niem straight to the front of the podium.

"Students, teachers..."

"Everyone, look."

"How much pressure were we put on, mother and daughter."

"A directly recruited student, because he didn't need to take the exam, blatantly took me to the police station."

"Still want to ruin my daughter's psychology before the exam."

Down in the hall, chatter began to resound.

"Wasn't Hua Niem Niem's mother taken away by the police?"

"So Su Duong really called the police?"

"Right before the exam, making someone's mother go to the police station is a bit too much."

Khuong Tuyet immediately stood up.

"Do you not understand human language?"

"She was taken away for harassing a patient being treated."

Mother Hua pointed straight at her.

"You shut up!"

"You are truly To Duong's henchman."

Khuong Tuyet was about to rush forward but I held her back. I stood up and walked out into the middle of the aisle. The principal tried to suppress his anger.

"To Duong."

"Go back to your seat."

I don't sit. Mother Hua looked at me like looking at an enemy.

"To Duong."

"If you're good, stand up in front of the whole school and say it."

"You never took Niem Niem's documents."

"Never been jealous of it."

"I never wanted to harm him from taking the university entrance exam."

I calmly replied:

"I don't take it."

"So why did Niem Niem's documents disappear?"

"Ask her herself."

Hua Niem Niem choked up.

"To Duong..."

"Why do you always blame me?"

I looked at her.

"Where is your exam notice?"

Her expression changed slightly.

"Why are you bringing that up again?"

Hua's mother immediately blocked her daughter's face.

"Don't make excuses."

I looked up at the podium and spoke to Mr. Chu.

"This morning in the office."

"Hua Niem Niem has confirmed that her exam notice was not lost."

"Now..."

"Just take it out for everyone to see once."

"Everything will be clear."

Sweat flowed down from Master Chu's temples.

"To Duong."

"Don't cause trouble."

"The exam admission notice is an important personal document."

"It's not appropriate to show it to everyone."

The block head also spoke up.

"It's all about the seats."

Below, there were students shouting.

"Is it okay if I take it out and have a look?"

Another person immediately chimed in.

"That's right."

"If it's really not lost, take it out and see."

Hua Niem Niem's hands tightened the backpack straps. Hua's mother began to panic.

"Based on what should we get it?"

"Is what To Duong said true?"

"What about his direct admission certificate?"

"Why doesn't he take it out for everyone to see?"
