After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Tyrant's Beloved (12)

Fortunately, Li Shu didn't really intend to let him answer that question. After asking casually, he quickly changed the topic, "What's going on with these people?"

Qi Mingxuan glanced at the unconscious men in black, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes. "Some people don't want this cheating case to continue, and you've become their breakthrough. You have to be careful these days. I'll investigate your matter as soon as possible."

Indeed, they had pushed those people to a dead end, who knew that they would resort to this. He didn't know that Li Shu was the young man who saved him before, so he could just enjoy the spectacle. But now that he knew, for the young man's safety, he had to speed up the process.

Judging from today's events, this place didn't seem safe. If he hadn't arrived in time, would he have received news of the young man's death tomorrow?

"Do you believe I didn't cheat?" Li Shu was now somewhat curious. Until now, Qi Mingxuan was the first person to say these words to him.

"I believe you." Qi Mingxuan's expression was sincere, conveying through both expression and words that he trusted him.

Li Shu was stunned.

Even after Qi Mingxuan left, Li Shu remained immersed in those words. After a while, stifled laughter echoed in the empty cell.

[Host, are you okay?] Why does he seem so stimulated?

[I'm fine, it's just...] It had been a long time since he heard such a simple phrase like, "I believe you". Because of his identity as a fox demon, the most common voices he heard were various skeptical tones, except when that person was still around...

Qi Mingxuan said that he would quickly investigate this matter. After returning to the mansion, he arranged for people to investigate, and several men in black were taken away for interrogation. Li Shu had already given them some subtle hints, and the interrogation was a bit more intense, so they confessed everything.

With the testimony of these people, the previously deadlocked situation immediately reversed. Leveraging this lead not only quickly cleared Li Shu of suspicion in the cheating case but also caught the real mastermind.

The cheating case made significant progress.

Although such an incident occurred, the examination papers of the candidates who were not involved in the cheating case still needed to be graded. After a period of grading, the basic rankings were already out.

Grand Academician Zhang Min, who was in charge of grading, had high expectations for Li Shu, while the other two were optimistic about Yu Rongxiu, a candidate from a humble background. The three argued endlessly over who should be ranked first. Later, Li Shu was reported by a candidate from the same examination room, and his answer sheet should have been invalidated, but Zhang Min firmly believed that someone capable of writing such an article wouldn't cheat and refused to discard the answer sheet.

Two days later, Prince Qin discovered that Li Shu had been falsely accused, and with irrefutable evidence. Zhang Min finally found an opportunity and brought Li Shu's answer sheet to the palace to seek an audience with the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Grand Academician Zhang Min requests an audience," Eunuch An walked into the study room with quick steps, placing a teacup near the emperor's hand.

The emperor's outstretched hand paused slightly, and he asked with curiosity. "Zhang Min? Isn't he always focused on his own matters? Why would he suddenly come to see Us? Have there been any good books received here recently?"

"Grand Academician Zhang may have other matters. The servant heard that he was very fond of a certain paper and even argued with the other two academicians about it." Eunuch An replied with a smile.
