Chapter 66

One of the officers said, "Kong Lian, don't be nervous. We just want to ask you to come with us for an investigation."

"Okay."

Kong Lian followed the two officers and left.

As soon as she was gone, backstage erupted. Everyone hurriedly took out their phones to share the news with their classmates.

In the audience seats of the auditorium, many people's phones rang ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong. The students took out their phones one after another. After seeing the information on them, they immediately shared it with the students around them.

Ren Ran received the news at the first moment as well.

"Ren Ran, that little green tea Kong Lian has been taken away by the police."

"She was taken away as soon as the news came out."

Ren Ran received a phone call. After the call ended, she got up and left the auditorium.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Yi asked.

"Taking care of some things."

As Ren Ran walked out of the auditorium, she happened to see Lv Boyi, Zhao Teacher and the others at the door.

"You got the notice too?"

"Yeah."

The three of them walked together towards the exit of the school, heading to the police station.

"What's going on, Teacher Zhao?" Lv Boyi asked.

"I'm not very clear on the specifics. You guys saw that recording, all the school leaders and students participating in the competition received it."

"How come I didn't get it." Lv Boyi took out his phone to check, "Yeah! It's really there."

After arriving at the police station, from the information revealed by the other contestants, they pieced together what had happened.

An hour ago, all participating members received the recording. At the same time, someone reported the math competition anonymously, saying there was something fishy about it. The whistleblower argued with the organizers, and in the end everyone was taken away.

As for them, they were just brought in for routine questioning, with the aim of finding out who was behind the audio release.

Ren Ran was questioned separately by a policewoman. From her, Ren Ran heard the original unedited recording. One of the two names bleeped out was hers.

"Has anyone approached you recently?"

"No."

"Why would the other party revoke your eligibility? Do you know the reason?"

"If I had to guess, it's probably because my classmate Kong Lian and I were too good, so they felt threatened."

The policewoman smiled and said, "If they already had the questions, why would they feel threatened by you?"

"I don't know about that."

"Can you really not think of anyone you might have offended?"

"Could it be..." She paused, then shook her head, "It couldn't be her!"

"Who?"

"I shouldn't say it. After all, I shouldn't make wild accusations about things like this."

"Let's just chat casually. Don't worry too much." The policewoman said gently.

"My classmate, Kong Lian. She's pretty competitive. Everyone at school says I have a good chance of advancing while she doesn't. Maybe hearing those rumors too much made her feel bad."

Ten minutes later, Ren Ran finished the questioning and left the police station.

That night, Ren Ran received a message that the math competition results would not count. There would be a redo, this time with someone from the capital overseeing it, and the questions would be presented differently.

On the other hand, Kong Lian, who had been personally escorted away by the police, was not released until nightfall.

As soon as she walked out of the police station, she saw her mother's car waiting outside.

Kong Lian hesitated for a moment before mustering her courage.

The car window rolled down slowly. Ruan Fengru didn't even glance at her. Her voice was icy cold. "Get in the car."

The car was deathly silent, making her heart race as cold sweat broke out on her palms.
