Chapter 563: Jiang Huaiyu Died?
Xiao Hua suddenly said, “Oh, right, in our examination hall, a student suddenly had an unbearable headache, screamed while clutching their head, then collapsed and fell unconscious, and was taken out of the examination hall. Do you guys know who this person is?”
Shuiyu asked, “Who is it? Fainting at this time, they must have missed their exam, right? Missing one subject means that even if they do well on the rest, it’ll be hard to get into a key university.”
“It’s someone we all know, a familiar face.”
“Who?” Huilan asked.
The others also looked at Xiao Hua, waiting for her to reveal the answer, while only Mengyu seemed uninterested.
Xiao Hua looked at Mengyu, puzzled, “Big sis, aren’t you curious?”
Mengyu chuckled, “What’s there to be curious about? Isn’t it just Jiang Huaiyu?”
Xiao Hua wondered, “How did you know?”
“With that schadenfreude look of yours, plus saying it’s someone we know, who else could it be but Jiang Huaiyu?”
Xiao Hua felt unrewarded, “Big sis, can’t you just play along?”
Shuiyu was surprised, “How could she still take the exam? Isn’t she— ” She was almost expelled, but in the end, it was just that the education department punished her, banned her from taking the college entrance exam.
“Could it be that the education department withdrew their punishment on Jiang Huaiyu?”
Xiao Hua shook her head, “Now she goes by Zheng Hongdong, not Jiang Huaiyu. Today she went to the exam and even permed her hair, covering one-third of her face. I didn’t recognize her at first. Only when she screamed and fainted while clutching her head did I realize it was her.”
Wang Huilan suddenly thought of something, “Shuiyu’s admission ticket was stolen. It always felt odd to me. Could she have orchestrated it?”
Shuiyu thought about how she hadn’t offended anyone and didn’t know the person who stole her admission ticket, so it must have been instigated by someone else.
If Jiang Huaiyu hadn’t shown up at the exam hall, Shuiyu wouldn’t have thought of her, but since she did come, then the person who arranged for her admission ticket to be stolen could only be Jiang Huaiyu in her mind.
Mengyu nodded too, “I also suspect that it was arranged by Jiang Huaiyu. Not just her, but also that teacher who wanted to kick Shuiyu out the moment they heard her admission ticket was missing, and Zhang Rensheng, who was causing a scene, are suspects.”
At this moment, a voice cut in, “You’re right, it was indeed Jiang Huaiyu who instigated it.”
Mengyu looked up and saw Gu Dongxing approaching.
Turns out, after Gu Dongxing caught that expert thief and took him to the police station, the thief confessed quickly that a woman had paid him to steal the admission tickets of Zhang Shuiyu and Jiang Mengyu.
Gu Dongxing casually sketched a picture of Jiang Huaiyu, asked him if it was this person, and the thief affirmed it was.
“I’ve already informed the Education Bureau about this situation. Even if Jiang Huaiyu passes the exam, she won’t get through the political vetting.”
Mengyu smiled, “There’s no need to worry about any political vetting. She’s suffering from a headache right now, and she might suffer from it for the next three days and fail to sit her exams, so you don’t need to worry about others.
Let’s get in the car quickly and go back for lunch, then you can take a nap. In the afternoon, Brother Gu can take us back for the exam.”
She then turned to Gu Dongxing, “You’ll be our personal driver for these next few days, okay?”
Gu Dongxing immediately patted his chest, “Definitely no problem.”
However, scarcely had they returned to the Dragon Head Ridge compound when Xiao Tao greeted them, “Sir—” about to address the master, she immediately switched, “Brother Gu, there’s a call from the Folklore and Cultural Research Association that just came in. They want you back immediately for a task.”
Gu Dongxing left reluctantly, unable even to enjoy the delicious meal Xiao Tao had prepared.
Over the next three days, Jiang Huaiyu indeed didn’t show up for the college entrance exam.
Even more bizarre was the news that spread soon after the end of the exam: on the first day of the college entrance exam, the student Zheng Hongdong, unable to bear the pressure, suffered a headache attack and was taken to the hospital. She remained unconscious throughout the night and passed away.
