Chapter 268: Extortion and Counter-Extortion

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

No matter how Song Tianqing explained, with the testimony of the student behind her, the label of cheating still fell upon her.

After all, it was the student behind her who had passed the cheat sheet, and the students in front hadn’t received anything. Even if they checked the surveillance footage, they wouldn’t find any evidence on the student in front.

The invigilator had a stern face and was about to kick Song Tianqing and the student behind her out of the examination room.

“Wait a minute.”

Nan Yan spoke up calmly.

The invigilator was instantly infuriated. “Do you have something else to say? The evidence and witnesses are clear, the cheating is confirmed. Are you trying to disrupt the examination?”

“Do you know what the consequences of disrupting an examination are? I have the authority to have you and these two students involved in cheating expelled!”

Song Tianqing wiped away her tears and choked out, “Nan Yan, please focus on your exam and don’t worry about me!”

She was unable to defend herself at this point and didn’t want to get Nan Yan expelled along with her by the invigilator.

Nan Yan remained calm in her seat. “I don’t intend to disrupt the examination. I just want to ask one question to that male student.”

Without waiting for the invigilator’s permission, she turned to the male student and questioned:

“Since you claim to have helped the person cheat who sits in front of you, do you know her name?”

The male student’s face turned anxious all of a sudden.

He had no idea what her name was; he didn’t even know her!

“You don’t even know her name or who she is. Are you some kind of reincarnated saint, always eager to help?”

“Even if you want to help, shouldn’t you ask her if she needs it first?” “Teacher, can’t you see that this is a blatant attempt to frame her?”

Nan Yan’s arrogant and mocking words made the teacher feel a bit stuck.

But, undeniable as it was, the teacher found Nan Yan’s words quite reasonable.

Seeing Song Tianqing’s distressed and sad expression, the invigilator finally said, “You can sit down and continue the exam. As for this male student, please leave the examination room.”

The male student clenched his teeth, put down his pen and test paper, gave Nan Yan a menacing glare, and walked out of the examination room.

The rest of the exam proceeded much more calmly.

Initially, Song Tianqing’s emotions were on the verge of collapsing, and her mind was in turmoil. However, when she looked at Nan Yan and saw the gesture of encouragement Nan Yan made to her, she quickly regained her composure.

She had to stabilize her mindset and answer the questions carefully!

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam.

The invigilator instructed all students to put down their pens and not continue answering questions.

Then, he began to collect the answer sheets.

When he reached Nan Yan’s desk, he expected to see a mostly blank exam paper. However, to his surprise, he found that she had answered all the questions on the first page.

He casually flipped through her paper.

She had completed the rest of the exam as well.

Even the last challenging bonus question, which was beyond the syllabus, had been answered perfectly.

So, she wasn’t someone who didn’t know anything; instead, she had managed to finish all the questions in just half an hour?

The invigilator was quite astonished as he looked at Nan Yan once again, and then his eyes fell on her name –

Nan Yan!

Very well, he remembered this student!

After collecting all the answer sheets, the students began to leave the room in an orderly manner.

The male student who had cheated and his accomplice glared at Nan Yan for a few seconds before leaving with resentment.

“Nan Yan, thank you for today!” Song Tianqing walked up to Nan Yan and expressed her gratitude.

“If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have been expelled by the invigilator on charges of cheating. Not only would I have missed completing the competition, but it might have also affected my college entrance exams in the future…

Song Tianqing still had lingering fear.

Cheating is taken very seriously, especially in competitions, and even more so in regular exams. She had a severe bias in her subjects, and if she relied on regular exam scores, she might only be able to get into an ordinary university. She needed to become a special admissions student and secure a recommendation through competition results.

Nan Yan smiled and said, “You’re welcome,” then asked, “How do you think you did?”

“It should be okay,” Song Tianqing replied confidently. “I thought I might mess up because my nerves were getting to me. But your encouragement helped me stay calm, clear my mind, and I performed exceptionally well in the second half! ”

This was the power of having an idol!

Nan Yan hadn’t expected that her encouragement would have such an effect.

“Let’s go and join the others.”

“Okay.”

However, as soon as they left the classroom building, Nan Yan and Song Tianqing were stopped by two male students.

Seeing the two boys looking confrontational, Song Tianqing felt a bit scared.

She couldn’t help but grab Nan Yan’s sleeve and whispered, “What should we

Their team leader wasn’t around, and they were surrounded by unfamiliar students. There was no one to turn to for help.

“Stay calm, I’ve got this,” Nan Yan reassured Song Tianqing before turning her indifferent gaze toward the two boys. “What’s the matter?”

The boy who had accused Song Tianqing spoke coldly, “If you don’t want to make this a big deal, come with us.”

“Let’s go find a teacher, Nan Yan!” Song Tianqing tugged at Nan Yan’s sleeve and whispered.

“It’s fine,” Nan Yan casually patted her hand on the back and then raised her chin slightly to signal the boys to lead the way.

The two boys probably didn’t expect Nan Yan to be so cooperative. Was she either naive or foolish? However, they couldn’t bear to let this opportunity pass.

Song Tianqing had no choice but to hold onto Nan Yan’s clothes and stick closely behind her. When they reached the small playground, the two boys finally stopped, surrounding Nan Yan and Song Tianqing in the middle.

The boy in the backseat clenched his fists and said, “You interfered earlier, got me kicked out, and now you need to compensate me. What do you plan to do?”

Nan Yan raised an eyebrow and replied, “Why don’t you tell us what kind of compensation you want?”

“Money,” he said, “You have no idea how much effort I put into this competition. If you don’t pay up, I’ll go to your school and make trouble for you.”

“Zhide High School, hmph, trash!”

Upon hearing that they wanted money, Song Tianqing felt less nervous and quickly said, “I have some pocket money on me. How much do you need? I don’t have a lot!”

Her family was fairly well-off, and her parents were generous with her. With the allowance they gave her for special occasions, she had a few thousand on hand. It was a small price to pay to avoid trouble. She wouldn’t be too upset about parting with the money.

“In light of your good attitude,” one of the boys said, “Let’s say each of us gets 50,000.”

Song Tianqing couldn’t help but exclaim, “Are you insane?!” Even if she had that much, she wouldn’t give it to them!

“No? Then call your parents. If you don’t pay, this won’t end well.”

Nan Yan casually rolled up her sleeves and said, “Fifty thousand each is too little. How about five hundred thousand each?” Song Tianqing:

Is her idol acting irrationally because of anger?

She’s actually complaining that the amount is too small!

The two boys were also a bit surprised and momentarily unsure of Nan Yan’s intentions.

She pushed Song Tianqing aside and moved swiftly.

The boy in the back seat hadn’t reacted yet and was kicked in the shin by her, causing him to writhe in pain on the ground.

Then, she stepped on his back, immobilizing him.

Nan Yan applied a slight increase in pressure, locked eyes with the boy in the front seat, and with a cold, distant tone, said, “Five hundred thousand each, not a penny less, or I’ll pay your school a visit. National Normal University Affiliated High School isn’t too far away..”
