That "Mhm," with its pitched tail, sounded casual and breezy, yet to Ma Yiqing's ears, it was no different from a heavy hammer brutally smashing into her heart!
She was frozen in place for a moment, her face turning deathly pale, looking as if she had committed some vile act and was caught red-handed!
Ji Yebai lowered his voice, a deep tone laden with a thick weight of authority, "Speak! How did you know?!"
Upon realizing that the cat was out of the bag, Teacher Liu hastily tried to bite back, "Young Master Ji, it's... it was her who instructed me! She told me to change Ning Xixi's scores! Yes, that's it! She coerced me; I had no choice but to do it..."
"Shut up! Stop slandering others!" Ma Yiqing finally snapped back to reality, swearing adamantly, "This has nothing to do with me! Changing the score... was just my guess... Fellow classmates, do you really not believe me?"
