No matter the outcome, she was a loser.

She had stayed at Lanca Academy for so long, but the dean had not said anything about wanting to keep her. She felt the sort of humiliation that cut at her face like a knife.

The dean was long gone. Tong Xieyi suddenly vented all her anger on the password lock. “Ah!”

It was as if not solving the combination lock was an admission of her failure and that she was inferior to Sheng Yang.

After staying at Lanca Academy for so long, her presence was actually inferior to a new teacher who had only been here for a month.

!!

‘Is hard work more important or talent?’

Before meeting Sheng Yang, she felt that she was talented—even when she was up against Tong Qin. But now, she had never felt so small.

An hour passed before she unlocked the first of the nine locks. Beads of sweat pattered on the floor like raindrops.

Two more hours passed. She was stuck on the second lock. Her body drooped.

Late at night, she called for help.

She had no friends. She could only call Tong Qin, who saw her as a thorn in her side.

“Do you have a death wish?” Tong Qin was sleeping when she was suddenly woken up. She was very angry when she woke up. She had never treated Tong Xieyi kindly.

She was more talented than Tong Xieyi, but because she was an adopted daughter, her teachers were much worse in all aspects. The one who got into the academy was also Tong Xieyi.

She didn’t like being used as a spare.

Hearing that Tong Xieyi was having problems cracking a lock, Tong Qin immediately perked up. “Hmph, this is your misfortune, you trash!”

Tong Xieyi was in low spirits and let her scold her.

Eventually, Tong Xieyi and Tong Qin worked together to solve the second lock together. Tong Qin and Tong Xieyi had different thoughts. As they listed the calculations, they cursed, “Who set up such a perverted password lock? Aren’t they afraid that it’ll be difficult for others to open it?”

After three hours, the sky had already turned bright and the two of them finally unlocked the second lock.

Tong Xieyi gave up completely. Each of the nine locks was harder than the last, and they had only reached the second lock. There was no chance.

She returned to the office in a daze. She was rather light-headed and exhausted. She lay on the table and fell asleep.

When she woke up, he was already surrounded by people.

Someone asked her with concern, “Miss Tong, the exam has already started. Aren’t you going to take a look?”

Tong Xieyi stood up, but she clearly saw that Sheng Yang was still sitting in her seat. She walked over, her emotions triggered. “Why didn’t you go to check on your students who are taking the exam? This will also determine your fate.”

Sheng Yang was so indifferent that she didn’t even look up. “What’s there to see?”

What was done was done. Everything had been done.

She would only win.

She was that abnormal.

Tong Xieyi thought about it, but she was still worried. She had to check it out.

Although the experimental equipment from yesterday could not be destroyed, some of the students in Class 12 (6) either had problems with their hands or fell sick. Also, their family members would actively drag them down, making it impossible for things to go smoothly for them.

She went to take a look at her class. The students were taking the written exam now. She saw that all the students were focused on writing their answers. She was a little relieved.

Only Ding Nuan was a little excited, probably because she would be getting her hands on very good equipment after this.

Tong Xieyi noticed that although Ding Nuan usually checked her answers after writing them, this time, she didn’t check her calculations at all before moving to the next questions.

Tong Xieyi was suddenly a little anxious, but the exam had already begun. She was not an invigilator, so how could she remind her?

Hence, she could only cough a few times outside the window. She was so anxious, but Ding Nuan did not notice.

Then, Tong Xieyi went to Class 12 (6). In the end, the scene in front of her shocked her!
