Big Shot's Reincarnation Sweeps the World-Chapter 996 - Get Caught

“I’m sorry, I forgot.” Zhao Manshu smiled. “Don’t stay up too late. Sleep early, Lixing.”

She called to him in a whisper between lovers.

However, Kang Lixing did not feel any sympathy for her. “Back then, I only married you for the sake of Sinuo and to take responsibility. This marriage has long existed in name only. We’ve already obtained a divorce certificate. How long are we going to pretend?”

Zhao Manshu gently caressed her wrist. There were some injuries there back then. The Kang family’s medical team was very powerful, so there were no traces or marks left.

Only she knew that those scars had really existed.

“Once a couple, always a couple,” Zhao Manshu muttered with her head lowered.

Kang Lixing had seen enough of her pitiful act. “I’ll take it one step at a time. I’ll talk to Sinuo first.”

With that, Kang Lixing left without waiting for Zhao Manshu’s reply.

In the dead of the night—

Although the experimental equipment in Class 12 (6) was kept in a cabinet that was heavily encrypted, the person who rushed in was still confident in being able to open it.

As a result, they tried again and again but their face only became deathly pale.

“Who is it?” A ray of light shone on the pale face. Tong Xieyi was so frightened that she almost dropped her glasses.

But when she saw the other party’s face clearly, she almost fainted from the shock.

What a coincidence that the dean had bumped into her here.

She was done for.

Her mind was a mess, and she could not formulate complete sentences. She put her hand on the combination cabinet. Her body went cold, and her face was even paler.

The dean stared at Tong Xieyi with a complicated expression and said in a serious voice, “Miss Tong, what are you doing? You’re clearly the teacher of Class 12 (3). Why are you in Class 12 (6)’s classroom?”

The answer was already obvious.

However, Tong Xieyi did not even see the disappointment on the dean’s face. He must understand everything clearly.

Her heart skipped a beat as she thought of something to say. Since there had never been any hope, it would be even less of a disappointment.

“I—”

“That’s enough, Miss Tong. I don’t want to hear your explanation.”

Tong Xieyi was on the verge of tears. ‘I wish I hadn’t come here today.’

She had overheard the conversation between Mr. Long and her father by chance. Mr. Long always had a point, hence she chose to listen to him.

Had she really lost before she even started? Was she going to be disqualified now?

Whether Class 12 (3) won or lost, it had nothing to do with her, right?

The dean didn’t even frown. “Miss Tong, I’ll pretend that nothing happened today.”

He turned abruptly.

Tong Xieyi, who had been staring at her toes, was utterly mortified. She looked up when she heard this. “Why?”

Since Tong Xieyi had asked, the dean had no choice but to turn around. “You want to go to the research institute. I think Teacher Sheng is a talent considering how she succeeded in improving the grades of the students in Class 12 (6) in such a short period of time. Out of my selfishness, I naturally want to keep her. What you’re doing now is the same as my goal.”

“…”

Tong Xieyi was cold from head to toe as if she were in a Siberian snowfield. She felt as though a cold wind was blowing on her, making her almost lose her balance.

No wonder the academy came up with an experiment exam at the last minute. They clearly wanted to stump Sheng Yang and keep her here.

She seemed to be about to get what she wanted. She could enter the research institute she had dreamed of and live up to her father’s instructions. But why was she so unhappy?
