Chapter 91: Inspection

Qiao Qing was instantly flustered. What is going on? Normally, when something like this happens, Mo Yun will be the first to be enraged by Mo Li but this time, he actually… decides to give her the benefit of a doubt?

Mother Mo picked at Mo Li’s favorite dishes. She sighed, “I’m sure Li Li is innocent. She’s my daughter, I know her best.” When Mo Li was young, she was very honest and a little bit naive. Whenever something got her attention, she would forget about everything else. So Mother Mo was certain the rumors about Mo Li were false.

Qiao Qing uttered in a whisper, “But… The committee of IMO sounds so confident… They wouldn’t be… Unless they have concrete evidence…” When she said that, she paid close attention to Mo Family’s expressions. She was careful lest she accidentally offend them again. “I hear that they have gone through sister’s draft paper and… her draft was blank. I of course trust in sister but we have to figure out a way to get her to explain this situation, or else our Mo Family’s reputation will continue to suffer.”

Mo Yun shook his head. “That doesn’t prove anything. When I participated in IChO, I didn’t use the draft paper given too.”

Qiao Qing gritted her teeth. Is this Mo Yun kidding? How could one not use the draft paper when the test was that hard?

“Big brother, you’re right of course.” Qiao Qing smiled to try to ease the tension but she was the only one smiling. If anything, they seemed to be frowning at Qiao Qing’s intervention while they tried to figure out a way to absolve Mo Li’s name.

Qiao Qing wanted to add more fuel to the fire but based on the situation, she had to surrender. But that didn’t mean she had to give up character.

Mo Yun saw the tears in Qiao Qing’s eyes and couldn’t help but sigh. He tried to think rationally and had to admit that Mo Li didn’t seem to be able to score that good in the IMO preliminary exam…

“In any case, Mo Li will have a hard time explaining herself this time.” Mo Yun said severely. It was not that he was prevaricating but he knew the importance of having evidence. Mo Li couldn’t suddenly have her IQ improve tenfold, could she?

“Enough!” Mo Yi was really angry this time. “There is no need for Mo Li to explain anything to anyone. She is my daughter. She has too much integrity to cheat in an exam!”

The more she thought about it, the guiltier Mother Mo felt. If she had shown more attention to Mo Li, perhaps this would not happen today.

Qiao Qing frowned deeply. Her nails had dug deep into the hands that were hidden behind her back. She bit on her lower lip until it was white. She was shocked that Father Mo and Mother Mo trusted Mo Li so unconditionally. Over the past 3 years, she had done almost everything to drive a wedge between Mo Li and her family but in less than 4 months, Mo Li had undone all of her hard work!

…

Inside Hao Ding KTV at Pearl River, cast under the warm yellow lights, Xiao Yuan was playing a game of dice. A few other men sat on the leather couches, talking about business. Beside them was a group of women, gossiping among themselves.

“Yes, yes, yes! That’s the one, the one who drove into her own brother! I heard she scored second in some kind of math competition. But it was just exposed that she has cheated in the exam!”

“How horrid!”

“This time, the Mo Family’s name has become truly rotten.”

“If you ask me, this is what happens when you have too much money! The Mo Family has to be crazy to do something like this.”

“They must have hacked into the exam terminal…”

Before the girl finished, there was a loud bang. A die was flung out with great force. The die knocked against the plasma tv and rolled a few times on the ground before it stopped.

The group of girls was immediately silenced.

Quan Yu picked up his jacket and prepared to leave. Xiao Yuan called after him, “Hey, where are we going?”

Quan Yu didn’t answer him. With a cold expression, he stormed out from the KTV booth without looking back.

…

Early the next morning, Mo Li was summoned to the school boardroom. Qi Yu and Fang Xun were already there.

Their faces were interesting as they were covered in bruises. Many people asked them about it but Qi Yu could only stammer a vague explanation.

Yesterday night, both of them received a package. It contained audio and video evidence of them conspiring with Ding Yi and Qi Yu’s big sister on how to use their power to deal with Mo Li!

They tracked down the mailer through the carrier but were beaten up instead! They were certain that Mo Family was behind this. This was a warning from them to back away from Mo Li. However, these young men were not so easily deterred. Since the enemy was unkind, then they couldn’t be blamed for being unrighteous!

Qi Yu’s bruised face glared at Mo Li gloomily.

Mo Li stood there calmly, meeting his eyes as if she was not part of the blackmail used against them.

“So have you produced the evidence?”

Qi Yu had a terrible impression of Mo Li. He slammed the USB on the table. “The evidence is in this USB. If you confess to your mistake now, we might consider being lenient with your punishment.”
