Chapter 70: What’s the Point of Targeting Qin Ran?
Qin Ran threw the bag onto the table and suppressed the anger that was bubbling in her throat. The crowd was very noisy and she said each word with annoyance, “Who came to my seat just now?”
Several girls were sitting together and Wu Yan was sitting on her right side, ignoring her.
Lin Siran was on her left.
She was holding her pen and constantly noting down her ideas in her notebook.
She panicked when she heard Qin Ran’s words and turned around to flip through her belongings. “Your speech script is missing? I clearly put it inside for you though?”
“Wu Yan, have you guys seen Ran Ran’s script and USB flash drive?” Lin Siran looked up and asked.
They all shook their heads.
Wu Yan laughed satirically. “We were the ones who put in the hard work for the script, how could you lose it so easily?”
“Help find it.” Lin Siran frowned and didn’t want to start an internal fight at this moment.
The rest of the girls also looked around.
The USB flash drive was for the slides, but the script had been organized and consisted of four pages. It was really all of their hard work. If it was really lost, the speech they had prepared today would be meaningless.
At this moment, Lin Siran suddenly understood Qin Ran’s temper.
Qin Ran’s bag had been specially prepared for exams, so there were buttons on it and the things couldn’t have possibly dropped. Someone must have taken it deliberately.
The person who had taken them was obviously against them or targeting Qin Ran.
But Lin Siran had to admit that this person’s move had really worked. What would they bring to stage when the script was missing?
“What’s the matter?” Xu Yaoguang turned around from the front row when he heard their voices and asked, his gaze cold.
He was always difficult to get close to, and his voice was both soft and cold.
Lin Siran stood up and looked around her. Then, she looked anxiously at Xu Yaoguang. “Our script and USB drive are lost.”
Xu Yaoguang didn’t expect this.
Lin Siran was so angry her eyes were red.
She looked around again, wondering who could have done this.
“Let’s look around first.” Xu Yaoguang calmed down, stood up, and instructed. “Look in the trash can outside the corridor.”
Qiao Sheng took him as a leader and he had great prestige in class as well.
As soon as he spoke, a few people stood up and went out.
Wu Yan also stood up, but she glanced at Xu Yaoguang and pursed her lips.
Xu Yaoguang had always had an opinion towards Qin Ran. In the beginning, everyone in the class could tell that he didn’t really like her.
Who knew that before long, Xu Yaoguang didn’t even refuse when Lin Siran had asked Qin Ran to do the speech.
Now that the script was lost in Qin Ran’s hands, he didn’t blame her and was even helping her find it.
A few people went out to help look around and it would be awkward if she didn’t go as well.
Wu Yan couldn’t help but look at Xu Yaoguang again. He was asking Qin Ran something with his head lowered.
She looked away and followed behind the other girls.
The speech had already begun and class 3.1 was presenting now. The speaker was Qin Yu, which wasn’t a surprise. She held her paper and spoke with clear enunciation, and they were all listening seriously.
She looked down and saw Xu Yaoguang, who had been watching her, suddenly exit from the back door, followed by Qin Ran.
The smile on Qin Yu’s face faded and then she quickly smiled again.
After her speech, the judges asked a few questions and she answered them one by one. The other members of the group also came up with several representatives.
Next, the judges discussed and scored them.
Qin Yu came down and went back to her seat. She was sitting in the third row and was very close to Xu Yaoguang.
“Why did all the people from class 3.9 go out?” Qin Yu looked through the back door and asked thoughtfully.
“I think Qin Ran lost their USB flash drive and their script.” Although class 3.9 had little movement, they were all sitting in a row, so they basically knew what had happened.
Qin Yu turned her head in surprise. “She lost the script? Qin Ran is in big trouble this time.”
The news reporters on both sides were all racked up already. If something were to go wrong, the school and the teachers would all lose their faces.
Qin Yu appeared worried, but the corners of her lips were curled up.
**
Class 3.9 searched around and finally found the torn script in the trash can and the USB flash drive soaked in water.
Lin Siran clenched her teeth. “Someone was obviously trying to frame Ran Ran. She must be jealous of Ran Ran!”
Everyone standing around the trash can fell silent.
This was obviously directed at Qin Ran and was obviously a malicious move.
Wu Yan couldn’t help but blame Qin Ran. “That’s great, now our class doesn’t even have our script.”
“Wu Yan, don’t say that.” Someone couldn’t help but pull Wu Yan’s sleeves when she saw Qin Ran lean against the wall, her hands tightening around a mineral water bottle.
“Why can’t I say that? I already said not to let her come, now she has harmed us!”
Xu Yaoguang stared at her coldly. Wu Yan pursed her lips and stopped talking.
The judges had already given their scores and the next one up was their class.
Xu Yaoguang glanced at Qin Ran, thought for a while, and then said in a low voice, “Lin Siran, give me your notebook, I’ll go up.”
He had also written a part of the script and the whole process had been organized by him.
He remembered every point but just couldn’t remember all the details.
Without a manuscript, nobody else was more suitable than him.
“There’s no need.”
Qin Ran glanced at Wu Yan, adjusted her clothes, and reached out to pinch the mineral water bottle.
There wasn’t any more water in it, so it crashed into the trash can and made a clattering sound before falling inside.
She walked forward without looking back. “I’ll go up.”
