Chapter 18: Evidence
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
In the surveillance room, two security guards were chatting in boredom.
“Sigh, today is another day with nothing to do. This job is really too idle.”
A security guard sitting on the left yawned and talked to the security guard on the right out of boredom.
“Who says so? Sigh, my butt is about to hurt from sitting.”
The security guard on the right lit a cigarette and echoed the security guard on the left.
This was already his second pack of cigarettes today.
“Tell me, why can’t we install a surveillance camera in the female dormitory? Then we won’t be so bored.”
The security guard on the left suddenly laughed wretchedly.
“Who says there isn’t? I heard from the seniors who worked here before that there are still surveillance cameras in the female dormitory, but that’s for the principal to see.”
“Hehehehehe…”
The two security guards looked at each other and revealed a wretched smile.
Of course, this was only because they were too bored and were talking nonsense to relieve their boredom.
Just as the two security guards were about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the surveillance room.
Knock, knock, knock!
Knock, knock, knock!
The two security guards immediately stopped smiling and looked at the door of the surveillance room in shock.

Normally, no one would come here for a few days.
The security guard on the left lowered his voice and said to the security guard on the right, “F*ck, could it be that someone heard us teasing the principal just now?”
“Could it be that the person outside is the principal?”
“It can’t be that unlucky, right?”
The security guard on the right had a perturbed look on his face. Could it be that the principal happened to hear the words that he had unintentionally said while they were chatting?
Could it be that he was so unlucky?
Just as the two security guards were feeling very uneasy, there was another knock on the door. At the same time, a man’s voice was heard:
“Hello, is anyone there? We want to check the surveillance cameras!”
“It’s not the principal?”
The security guard on the left let out a huge sigh of relief. Then, he started to get angry again.
This guy who knocked on the door had given them a big fright!
He opened the door angrily. The security guard, whose face was full of anger, was about to scold the guy who knocked on the door but didn’t say anything. He was rude.
However, the scene in front of him gave him a big fright!
He saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the surveillance room, with a blonde boy beside him.
This much was nothing to be afraid of, but there were dozens of students behind these two people!
And behind them, there was a long line. There was also an endless stream of students joining in, forming an extremely huge team!
What was this for?!
This unlucky security guard was stunned on the spot.
Were the students going to rebel, overthrow, and occupy this school?
That wasn’t right either. If they wanted to overthrow and occupy, they had to first go to the principal’s office. At the very least, they had to go to the square. Why did they come to this small monitoring room?!
“You… What are you doing?” He stammered. This guy was really shocked.
“We are here to request to see the surveillance footage. Please show us a surveillance video.”
The invigilator who was standing in front of the security guard took a step forward. He was very well-mannered.
Now that he was certain that he was going to win, Adams would soon get out of this school. Naturally, he didn’t have to be so anxious.
With so many students watching, he wanted to establish his image as a good teacher.
He had brought his classmates to the surveillance room to investigate the surveillance footage and expose Adams’s cheating tricks.
To his surprise, more and more people gathered to watch the show. By now, more than half of the school knew about it.
At first, he was shocked, but then he thought:
The person who made a mistake was Adams, and the person who contradicted the teacher was also Adams. What was wrong with me?
What am I afraid of?
I shouldn’t be afraid!
Thinking of this, the invigilator’s heart calmed down.
Looking at the huge crowd behind him and feeling the gazes of the people gathered on him, he suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
‘If I do this well today, I will be famous!’
‘In the future, no student in this school will dare to put on airs in front of me. They have to respect me!’

When the invigilator thought of this, he relaxed and a successful smile appeared on his lips.
As long as he chased Adams out of the school today, he would be able to show off in front of so many students. His days in the school would be better!
“Check, check the surveillance cameras?”
The security guard on the left stuttered. He was really frightened just now.

“Yes, that’s right. Check the surveillance cameras.”
At this moment, the invigilator appeared to be extremely patient. He helped the security guard to repeat these three words again.

“Phew, so it’s just this matter.”
The security guard on the left let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not that they had bad-mouthed the principal. They did not have to be afraid of being expelled by the principal.

After letting out a sigh of relief, he came to his senses and hurriedly said to the invigilator, “No, you need the principal’s approval to check the surveillance cameras. No one is allowed to check the surveillance cameras without permission!”
The invigilator frowned. He didn’t understand this.
He originally thought that he only needed to bring everyone to the surveillance room and get the security guard to adjust the surveillance cameras for him. He would be able to catch the evidence of Adams cheating and chase Adams out of the school.
“We just want to investigate what happened in class just now because there was a shameless student in our class who cheated just now. I was nice and patient in teaching him, but he actually contradicted me and even dared to quibble that he didn’t cheat at all.”
“In order to teach him to be an honest child, that’s why I came here. I just wanted to bring up the surveillance cameras for the students to see and expose the truth.”
“Please make an exception,” the invigilator said gently. He appeared extremely polite and attracted the support of many students who did not know the truth.
“A student actually cheated during the exam?”
“He was caught cheating and still refused to admit it. This person is really shameless!”
“How shameless can he be? Not only did he refuse to admit it when he was caught cheating, he even asked the teacher to come to the surveillance room to collect evidence?”
At this moment, a rational student said, “Could it be a misunderstanding? Logically speaking, if he really cheated, he would definitely not agree to come to the monitoring room to adjust the monitoring.”
However, no one paid attention to her. Her voice was drowned in the wave of condemnation of Adams.
“I believe that Adams definitely did not cheat!”
Jessica saw that Adams was being insulted by so many students. She was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She quickly waved her hand and urged the excited students to calm down and trust Adams.

However, it was of no use. Almost everyone present was attacking Adams.
They believed that Adams was a bad student who cheated in the exam, had bad morals, and did not know how to respect his teacher.
Even Peter secretly ran to Adams’ side and asked in a low voice, “Brother, did you cheat or not? If you did, then quickly admit it. At most, you’ll lose some face!”
Adams just glanced at him indifferently and said, “You don’t have to believe me, but what I want to say is that there is no evidence of me cheating in the surveillance cameras.”
Looking at Adams’ calm gaze, listening to what he said, and the excited crowd around him, Peter also felt very excited.
“F*ck, I believe you, Adams! You definitely didn’t cheat!”
The corners of Adams’ mouth curled up:
‘Fool, of course I cheated.’
‘However, cheating that can’t be caught…’
‘Then it won’t be considered cheating…’
