Chapter 80 The Truth Comes to Light

 Chapter 81 The truth is revealed
  Wen Ling returned home, the more she thought about it the more suffocated she felt! But her brother hadn't come back yet, and she didn't know anyone, so she really couldn't help with Fang Qing's matter.

  No, her uncle should know a lot of people, and she should be able to ask for Fang Qing.

  Thinking of this, Wen Ling immediately packed up her things and ran to her uncle's house overnight, and told him about Fang Qing's matter in a burst of tears and made a fuss, and finally made her uncle nod and help her ask someone.

  Wen Ling asked someone for help, and Fang's father also found his old leader. Although the old leader had retired, he still had many connections. He found it incredible to hear about this, and immediately called his friends in the province, hoping that they would help investigate the matter thoroughly.

  Fang Qing was staring at the moon in the sky at home in a daze, not knowing that because of her, the Provincial Education Bureau was in chaos.

  Late at night, a girl looked at the report card in her hand for a long time and couldn't believe it. She actually got such a high score! Could it be a mistake?

  A middle-aged woman knocked on the door and walked in, holding a glass of milk and sat down next to her daughter, "Are you still reading? Mom said you were fine. Look, you did so well in the test. I was right to ask you to apply to Capital University before, right?"

  The girl still couldn't believe it, "Really? But when I took the test, I didn't answer several big questions. How could I get 146 points in math? Could the teacher have made a mistake?"

  The mother glared at her, "What did I tell you today? Next time you meet someone, you must insist that you answered very well. Don't ever say you didn't finish answering! Remember, this is your score. You must say this to anyone who asks you. Do you hear me?"

  Faced with her mother's sudden serious attitude, the girl nodded, then took the milk from her mother's hand, drank it, and went to bed honestly.

  Satisfied, the middle-aged woman closed the bedroom door and walked out, but her heart was restless. Gazing at the bustling traffic outside, her eyes filled with determination. "As long as these few days pass and the notice arrives, even a god can't change this fact..."

  Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang loudly, and the middle-aged woman's cup clattered to the floor. She felt a little flustered for some reason, not bothering to clean up the broken pieces. She took a few deep breaths, sat down, and picked up the phone with trembling hands.

  "Hello... Yes, it's me. What? How could it be? I'm a principled person. How could I violate the rules of my unit... Okay, okay, I get it..."

  After hanging up the phone, the woman finally felt a little uneasy, pacing the room with her hands clasped tightly. "How could it be so fast? It shouldn't be. Even if they wanted to investigate, it would take seven or eight days. How could a small county act so quickly?"

  The woman was an administrator at the Education Bureau, usually responsible for some paperwork. Originally, she wasn't supposed to be overseeing the college entrance exam papers, but a few days ago, a colleague had an accident, so she was asked to cover for a few days. She took the opportunity to get a spare key and, during her break, sneaked into the archives to check the list of candidates.

  Thinking of that student, the woman's eyes darkened. Could she be so unlucky as to have run into a tough opponent?
  Then she dismissed this suspicion. While searching for her target, she had specifically checked their identity information. Their parents were ordinary people from a small town, with no background. Even if they found any problems, they wouldn't be able to pinpoint them quickly. And finally, this top-tier university belonged to her daughter!

  Thinking of this, the woman felt a little relieved. "Yes, there won't be any problems. This thing is flawless, no one can possibly find out."

  An anxious night passed. The next morning, the woman received a message saying all staff members had to go to a meeting. She breathed a sigh of relief, told her daughter to eat well at home, and then she left triumphantly.

  But as soon as she entered the office building, she was stopped by several police officers. "Comrade Liao, someone has reported you for trespassing in the exam archive. Please cooperate with us and return for an investigation."

  The middle-aged woman felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. It took her a while to find her voice. She nodded stiffly and followed the police.

  Qin Yuxiang, a director of the Education Bureau, immediately conducted a thorough review of the exam papers from the same batch as Fang Qing after receiving the report and receiving instructions from her superiors. After three days and three nights of comparative analysis, a teacher finally discovered the problem.

  "Look, why is this candidate's exam number different from the numbers below?"

  A group of teachers gathered around. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the number 7 on the candidate's number had a dot ("","), while the answer below didn't have that dot!
  A closer look revealed that the candidate's name and admission ticket number had been altered.

  A few teachers suddenly realized what was going on and quickly searched through the test papers where the names and admission numbers had been altered. They finally found a clue on a scrambled paper...

  At the police station, Liao Wenhua sat steadily in her chair, unfazed by the police's questioning. Just as the police, convinced there was nothing wrong, asked her to sign and leave, a young police officer ran over.

  "Ms. Liao, you can't leave yet!"

  "I've said everything I need to say. Is there anything else?"

  The young officer glanced at her. "Wang Li is your daughter, right? We just received a report that your daughter's college entrance examination paper was switched with another girl's. You still need a reasonable explanation for this matter..."

  Liao Wenhua slumped back into her chair, her mind filled with the thought, "It's over, it's all over..."

  A few days later, the results of Fang Qing's college entrance examination review came back.

  Looking at the bright red numbers on the paper, Fang's mother read them over and over again with a magnifying glass, still unable to believe it. "Old Fang, take a quick look. These 670-plus points are really our daughter's grades?"

  Fang's father sat beside her, holding a half-burned cigarette in his hand, grinning like a child. "How could you possibly fake this? The leader personally called our unit and told me that someone saw Qingqing's good grades and secretly changed her name on the test paper. If we hadn't asked for help this time, Qingqing would have been so frustrated..."

  Thinking of this, Fang's mother suddenly remembered that she had scolded her child before, and she felt bad. "Fortunately, the grades have been restored, otherwise we would have really wronged the child."

  Although Father Fang felt a bit guilty, he then thought of Wen Ning, who had just taken Fang Qing out for a walk, and a look of relief crossed his face.

  "It's okay, Qingqing, don't take it personally. Right now, you should focus on preparing Qingqing for college. Oh, and let's have dinner with the Wen family someday. It's a good time to talk about the kids..."

  Father Fang's thoughts were rosy, but Mother Wen was a little disappointed. "Oh, they did so well on the test. This is going to be a tough situation..."
