After sending Xu Yao away, Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing were no longer in the mood to recall their past.

Zheng PingQing was quite disgusted with Xu Yao. "Uncle is quite bad, ah. High school students should be concentrating on their studies! Instead, his mind is full of obscene thoughts.

Lin Qian: "....." He decided to ignore this hypocrite.

"I didn't expect Huo PingChuan to escape punishment so cleanly this time." Lin Qian started.

Zheng PingQing looked at Lin Qian with squinted eyes. "You changed topics a little too rigidly."

Lin Qian calmly lighted another sparkler. "Then we can talk about separate topics. You can talk about your Uncle, and I can talk about Huo PingChuan."

"I also think that Huo PingChuan got off lightly." Zheng PingQing immediately put on a serious expression.

Lin Qian gave him a look. "Don't keep ragging on your Uncle, he's still a child."

Zheng PingQing changed tactics and made a pitiful expression. "Ok."

Lin Qian then continued: "Then let's study how we can rag on Huo PingChuan."

As they started speaking about Huo PingChuan, the atmosphere between the two men inevitably became a little heavy.

Lin Qian sighed. "No wonder he was able to sit at a high position in our last lives. Huo PingChuan left himself a way out from the very beginning."

Zheng PingQing nodded. Ke CaiZhu was definitely not the kind of woman who would willingly sacrifice herself to save Huo PingChuan. In fact, she never admitted to leaking the test question, even until the very end.

But all the evidence pointed to her. The investigation team looked through the evidence and found that Ke CaiZhu had lied. But Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing figured that Huo PingChuan manipulated Ke CaiZhu from the very start so that he wouldn't need to personally participate in any of his schemes.

Huo PingChuan probably didn't even directly command Ke CaiZhu to do things. If given enough verbal hints, Ke CaiZhu, who was eager to flatter Huo PingChuan, would've understood his cues and helped him sweep any obstacle in his way. And once something goes wrong, Huo PingChuan can simply say that 'he didn't know anything' and that 'Ke CaiZhu did it all on her own.' Ke CaiZhu would naturally couldn't argue otherwise, as there was no evidence of his involvement.

And the so-called computer evidence that implicated Ke CaiZhu was easy to fabricate. In order to wash himself clean, Huo PingChuan could've simply printed a copy of the test using Ke CaiZhu's computer when there was no one in the office. With Ke CaiZhu wanting to please him, Huo PingChuan could've effortlessly found out her computer password.

All these things made Ke CaiZhu a unique scapegoat.

Zheng PingQing rubbed his hands together. "Let's try to recall all the bad things Huo PingChuan did in our previous lives..."

With a 'tsk,' Lin Qian replied: "He did plenty of horrible things, but that was all after he became the Principal. It'll be a while before he really starts implementing his plans."

Zheng PingQing put on a regretful expression and said: "Ah, too bad that'll never happen. Since my boyfriend's angry, he's not allowed to be the Principal."

Lin Qian pointed his sparkler to the ground and started writing. "Let's see...."

As he spoke, a firecracker was suddenly thrown at Lin Qian's feet, popping as it landed on the ground.

"Woah!" The startled Lin Qian immediately scrambled away, hitting Zheng PingQing's body as he did so.

A Class 7 student shouted: "Boss, why are you playing with sparklers ah, why don't you throw that away and play some cannons? Let me tell you, there are some really powerful cannons here..."
