Upon hearing the report, there was not a hint of worry in Xue Xi’s eyes. She replied, “Oh. I’ll go back now.”
Xiang Huai looked at Xue Xi, who had hung up. Seeing her frown, he could not help but say, “Don’t worry.”
Xue Xi: “I’m not worried.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
Xue Xi sighed. “I just regret it a little.”
Xiang Huai was stunned. For some unknown reason, he vaguely sensed something. “Regret what?”
Xue Xi: “I regret beating them too lightly that they even dared to report me.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
He knew that his little kid was not afraid of anything. How could she really regret it?!
He could not help but smile. “Mhm. Don’t speak too much later. With me around, you don’t have to worry.”
Xue Xi shot him a distrustful glance and said calmly, “Oh.”
The two of them left the library and walked toward the hotel.
They did not see that after the two of them had left, an old male professor who had just gone to the washroom walked over.
He had a head of white hair and wrinkles on his face. He was very old. He frowned as he was on the phone. “Oh, you don’t know, Nicholas. This question is very important to me. I have to solve this problem, but my mind is very blank right now. I can’t remember anything.”
He said, “I really hope that when I close my eyes and open them again, the Goddess of Luck will descend and reveal the answer for me.”
The voice on the other end was very noble and cold. “You should be praying to the Goddess of Wisdom, not the Goddess of Luck.”
The old man did not care. “Actually, I’m an atheist.”
Nicholas did not speak and merely chuckled.
The old man walked to the blackboard and picked up the chalk. Just as he was about to calculate the results, he was stunned. “Oh, my God!”
Nicholas: “Hmm?”
The old man exclaimed, “The Goddess of Luck really took care of me! She brought me the Goddess of Wisdom. Oh, no, perhaps it’s the Goddess of Wisdom who came. Someone actually solved my question. Who is it? I want to ask!”
The old man looked around and saw that the library was empty. He said, “Nicholas, I need your help.”
Nicholas did not speak and wanted to ignore him.
The old man said, “You have to find this person for me. Who exactly is she? Oh, God, she must be a little angel sent by the Goddess of Luck, just so that our nerve acid can be developed. Nicholas, I did all of this for you. You have to help me. Even if it’s not for the sake of the country, you should also consider the fact that I’m your teacher, right?”
Nicholas: “…”
He asked, “Is it very important?”
The old man said, “Yes, it’s very important. Even if you have to search through L City, you have to find this person. Nicholas, I’m not joking with you.”
…
Xue Xi did not know that a random question she solved had caused a commotion.
At this moment, she was following Xiang Huai back to the hotel.
Just as she arrived at the entrance of the hotel, the teacher who came to accompany her for the examination walked over and lowered his voice. “Xue Xi, did you hit those examination candidates from Country F? They found the staff of the Mathematical Olympiad. Once the crime of you hitting someone is confirmed, you might get disqualified!”
Xue Xi shot a glance at the teacher. Before she could speak, Xiang Huai had already said, “She didn’t fight.”
The accompanying teacher: “?”
They followed the invigilator to the meeting room.
The staff from the Mathematical Olympiad group was wearing a black suit and had already sat down. They were filled with malice toward the Chinese.
The moment the three of them entered, the staff turned to look at Xue Xi and asked aggressively, “May I ask why you beat up Jack and the rest from Country F? Do you know that your actions will disqualify you from the competition?”
Xue Xi frowned when she heard this. “I didn’t hit anyone.”
The staff shot her a glance and put down the pen in his hand. “This is not China. We are in Country M. Here, if we don’t admit our mistakes, we will be punished even more. Don’t you know?”
Xue Xi lowered her eyes. “Then do you have any evidence of me hitting someone?”
The staff immediately said, “Of course. The five of them said that they were beaten by you.”
Xue Xi raised an eyebrow. “Are there surveillance cameras?”
The staff shook his head.
Xue Xi asked again, “Do you have evidence?”
The staff shrugged. “The five of them are the evidence.”
Xue Xi: “?”
The staff said, “Moreover, you’re suspected of hitting someone. Just this afternoon, the five of them humiliated your team members, and you asked for their phone numbers in the elevator. There are surveillance cameras and witnesses. The hotel staff can testify.”
Xue Xi’s pupils constricted.
The staff continued, “There is a motive and there are witnesses. We will sentence you to apologize to the five of them and compensate them for their financial losses. We will also revoke your examination qualifications.”
Xue Xi suddenly stood up.
She had been careless.
She had thought that nothing would happen if there were no surveillance cameras or evidence, but she had actually forgotten that she was in Country M. Having grown up in an orphanage, she had always been law-abiding and would not leave any loopholes or evidence behind.
She even found a corner without surveillance cameras… When she hit someone, she even wore gloves and did not leave any fingerprints.
This was the first time she felt that Country M was unfair to the Chinese.
Without any evidence, he insisted that she was the one who hit the others. Moreover, from the looks of it, he did not intend to listen to her explanation. He was completely biased!
Xue Xi clenched her fists.
The teacher beside her was also furious. “This is one-sided. How can you believe the words of one person? I want to appeal!”
The few staff members did not take it seriously and said, “Yes, yes. After the appeal, we will give an answer in three to five working days. Before that, we will maintain the original judgment.”
The teacher said angrily, “But the examination will start in two days. How can you guys do this? This is too much!”
The staff shrugged with a disdainful expression. “We’re just following the rules.”
The teacher was furious.
Actually, China’s Math Olympiad results had always been very impressive internationally. It reached its peak twelve years ago because a Chinese student had scored full marks.
However, since then, the Mathematical Olympiad had been targeting China. This was also the reason why China had never again obtained a gold medal.
Now, this group of people must have heard of Xue Xi’s strength and was wary of her, intending to kick her out!
However, there were only two days left until the examination. Even if the matter was passed to the embassy in Country M, it would still take time for them to be heard out!
