CHAPTER 491: 196 REALLY IS THE NEMESIS_2

Meng Junzhu was furious: "Don’t push people too far!"

Xu Na stared at Meng Junzhu with a cold sneer: "Mr. Meng, you’re so nervous. It seems you already know there’s an issue with her identity. If it turns out she cheated on the exam, it would be unfair to all the other candidates. Upholding fairness and justice requires investigating this to the very end."

Based on Meng Junzhu’s previous attitude alone, Xu Na was determined to pursue this matter. No one had ever dared speak to her in such an offensive way before.

Meng Junzhu’s hands hung at her sides, clenched into fists. Her temples throbbed with visible veins as she struggled to control her emotions.

"The child has studied tirelessly for ten years, and you think you can just cancel everything at your whim? Someone as petty and vindictive as you has no right to be a teacher."

Since the other party had discarded shame, she felt no need to save face either.

Meng Junzhu completely ignored Xu Na’s livid face and turned to the male leader. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with my student. Please trust me."

"This...," the male leader looked troubled and cast a glance at Xu Na.

Xu Na stared straight at him, her gaze filled with implicit threat.

Offending Xu Na could spell trouble for his career.

The teacher-student pair in front of him were from Qingzhou, a place that couldn’t compare to Chunzhou in terms of overall stature. Lanya High School, although somewhat renowned, was seen within the industry as a school started by a commercial enterprise with questionable motives. Its fame was seen as mere hype, barely respectable in the education field’s eyes.

As for Lanya High School’s top student, it was likely more about marketing than merit. Competing on the national stage? What kind of advantage could they possibly have?

You know how the saying goes: when the tide goes out, you see who’s swimming naked.

This girl submitted her exam halfway through the allotted time. That alone was highly suspicious. What kind of genius could manage that?

The girl standing before him was breathtakingly beautiful, but in the eyes of these skeptical educators, her beauty wasn’t a strength. If someone’s appearance was too stunning, it was assumed they couldn’t possibly focus enough on academics.

No matter how much Meng Junzhu praised her student, the teachers deep down felt the girl was undeserving of her reputation and just a manufactured "product" pushed forward by Lanya High School.

Torn between two sides, the mental scales in his heart tilted effortlessly toward Xu Na.

Qingzhou was distant and remote, but in the end, they still had to answer to Xu Na’s uncle. Anyone with sense knew where to stand.

"Shen, come with us to accept an investigation. It won’t take too much of your time."

Shen You’an had submitted her exam and walked out early. She wasn’t about to waste her time entangling herself in these identity disputes.

A rare flicker of irritation surfaced in her eyes.

Her past life had left shadows in her heart, making her reluctant to reveal her true self openly. She justified it as avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Yet, sometimes withholding the truth only gave opportunistic people the space to stir up trouble.

Now that was what truly caused problems.

She had no interest in delving into whatever psychological motives or strategies lay behind Xu Na’s actions.

The group soon saw Shen You’an take out her phone and make a call.

"Find me a lawyer," she said.

Zhao Heng was instantly shocked: "Boss, what happened?"

"Oh, oh, you need a lawyer? This must be serious. I’ll get my senior brother to personally handle it. Hang tight, I’ll have him contact you right away."

Shen You’an hung up the phone.

Xu Na was startled upon hearing the word "lawyer," but quickly recovered, sneering as though she were looking at an idiot. "Who are you trying to scare? Calling a lawyer? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn’t make a difference."

Shen You’an didn’t bother responding to her. Talking to someone like this was a waste of breath.

The two male leaders exchanged glances. This girl seemed a little harder to handle than expected. After all, the Lanya Group was still a powerful entity in Qingzhou. If this escalated, what would they do if the Lanya Group refused to let it go?

One of them leaned in to whisper to Xu Na, "Teacher Xu, I think we should just let it go. If this gets blown out of proportion, it won’t benefit anyone."

But Xu Na refused to back down. "Didn’t she say she wanted to call a lawyer? Let her. In the end, the one embarrassed will just be her."

Xu Na was certain the other party was bluffing.

Seeing the situation unfold, Meng Junzhu looked at Shen You’an with some concern. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind. "I’ll call President Lan."

How could she have forgotten about that?

Shen You’an gave her a reassuring look, her voice calm. "I can handle it. There’s no need to trouble President Lan."

"But..."

"Mr. Meng, trust me."

The girl’s dark, shining eyes were as clear as the night sky, holding an entire galaxy within them.

Meng Junzhu froze.

In that brief moment, Shen You’an’s phone vibrated with an incoming call.
