After the military training meeting had ended, the instructors and teachers in charge of each class took the students to their dormitories.
On the way, the freshies gathered around and discussed softly. Everyone was talking about Gu Mang.
“The person who swapped her script must be so mad right now. They wanted to watch Gu Mang make a fool out of herself yet it proved that the script would just be a hindrance to Gu Mang.”
“Did you see how Gu Mang stood on stage just now? I think even our principal cannot match that!”
“I thought that it was already mind blowing enough that she gave that speech without a script. I didn’t expect the next thing to be even more mind blowing!”
“Big boss is so cool! I’ve never seen anyone so obnoxious like her! She showed us what it meant to be ‘like a boss!’ She taught us how to be humane! There is no point trying to go against the big boss!”
“I really want to see the expression of the person who swapped the script right now.”
When Su Jiaying heard all the snide remarks, she bit her lip and looked rather uneasy.
In class, everyone gathered around Gu Mang. “Damn, Gu Mang! Big Boss! You are so awesome! I heard from Su Jiaying that you didn’t even look much at the script and yet you managed to improvise on the spot?”
“I didn’t.” Gu Mang cleared her throat. “I remembered the script.”
Everyone’s expression was even more complicated now. How did she remember it when she did not even look at it much? Was this how psychotic a perfect-scoring scholar could be?
Gu Mang became popular among the current batch of students.
The news spread around the Capital University forum. Big boss filled up the forums again.
Along the way back, the teacher of Gu Mang’s class looked at her several times. Even the instructor had not calmed down.
It wasn’t just because Gu Mang had memorized the entire script but also because of Gu Mang’s actions after the speech.
When dormitories were done being arranged for all the students, it was almost 12am. The instructor informed everyone of the official starting time of the training for the next afternoon. Then, she went to tell Su Jiaying some matters before he turned to leave.
She had just stepped out of the dormitory when she saw two girls walking over quickly. The two greeted the instructor respectfully and turned to walk into Gu Mang’s dormitory.
Meng Jinyang and Qin Yaozhi called Gu Mang the moment they entered.
Gu Mang was still unpacking her things. She turned around and saw the two of them. She stood slightly still. “Why are the two of you here?”
Qin Yaozhi looked uneasy and she was filled with righteous rage. “Sister Mang, who swapped your script?”
Meng Jinyang was still anxious. She looked at Gu Mang. The girl’s eyes were clear and carried a chill. She leaned against the bed frame and did not answer her.
Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao looked at Qin Yaozhi and Meng Jinyang. They knew Meng Jinyang but they were unfamiliar with Qin Yaozhi. Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao were stunned for a while. They put the things in their hands down and walked towards Gu Mang.
When Su Jiaying saw that, she clenched her fists and hesitated for two second before putting down her bag and walking over as well.
Seeing that Gu Mang was not speaking, Meng Jinyang asked, “Gu Mang, do you remember if anyone touched your things?”
Tang Xiaoxiao said, “Gu Mang put the script in her bag quite early last night. Afterwards, a lot of people came to the dormitory, but they were all from our class, so it could be someone from our class who swapped it.””
Su Jiaying was the class chairperson. Last night, the school asked everyone to sign the safety notice before military training, so everyone in the class came to their dormitory to sign it.
Zheng Miao frowned and said angrily, “We are all from the same class. It’s such a despicable move.”
Su Jiaying was silent the whole time.
When Qin Yaozhi heard what Tang Xiaoxiao said, she added furiously, “So many people went to your dormitory. How are you going to investigate?”
Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao tried to recall who had gone to Gu Mang’s seat the day before. They had all been there to look for Su Jiaying. No one had gone to look for Gu Mang.
“Jiaying, did you see who touched Gu Mang’s stuff?” Zheng Miao asked.
