Ang turned towards the sound and saw two elderly men in suits who had just sat down, smiling at her. The men in suits in
front of them were also looking back at her. Did they hear what | just said?
As she hesitated, one of the elderly men with silver hair and a youthful face asked, “You took a sip and determined that senna
leaves had been added to the water?”
Now, Ang was certain that everyone had heard her. She wasn’t afraid to admit it. If it weren’t for Jessica’s mental state, she
would have reported it to the teacher earlier.
She nodded. “Yes, | am sensitive to the smell of medicine, and this bottle of water was opened in advance.
The two elderly men exchanged nces, a glint of light shing in their eyes. “Are you a medical student? | don’t think I’ve seen
you before, one of the elderly men asked.
Ang slightly raised her eyebrows, a hint of expectation in her eyes. “No, I’m in the Foreign Language Department, but I’m
nning to take the exam to transfer to the medical department next month.”
“Good, that’s great!” The elderly man’s mouth widened into a grin, looking pleased.
Listening to his response, Ang suddenly felt that this elderly man was somewhat simr to Bruce.
The other elderly man looked at her curiously. “Why did you pour out half of the drink just now?”
Ang looked around and unconsciously lowered her voice as if she was about to share a secret with the elderly men. Generally
speaking, criminals love to return to the scene of the crime. | poured out half a bottle of water to make the person who drugged
the water think that my friend had drunk it, hoping that they would reveal themselves.”
She wanted to observe who would pay attention to the drink, but after a while, she didn’t notice anything. It
was the people next to her who discovered her first..
“You are quite thoughtful, and with your sensitivity to medicine, you will make a good medical student. Study hard in the future.”
“Okay.” Ang, eager to find the person who drugged the water, brushed off the two elderly men. If it weren’t for this incident
involving medical issues, she would have been happy to chat with them for a while.
She turned her head away, and the elderly men began to whisper to each other.
“Terence, it seems like you’re going to have another exceptional student. This youngdy is both perceptive and virtuous!”
Terence chuckled. “I didn’t expect toe across such a promising student while attending a Brundelian speechpetition. It’s
fortunate that she’s going to study medicine. Otherwise, | would have to find a way to convince her to switch!”
The other elderly man noticed that Terence was in a much better mood, so he cautiously brought up a matter. “By the way, the
person you asked me to findst time has been located, but unfortunately.. Professor Fisher passed away half a year ago.”

Terence Fuchs, the elderly man, was stunned, unable to believe it. Tears welled up in his eyes, and after a while, he let out a
deep sigh. “When | said goodbye to Professor Fisher, | thought | would see her again soon. Who knew that in the blink of an eye,
more than a decade had passed, and that goodbye turned out to be a farewell.”
“Ah, my condolences, Terence. Professor Fisher taught you so much, and now you’re a medical teacher. passing on what she
taught to promising students. If she knew about this, she would be happyBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
Terence nodded heavily, but there was a hint of sadness on his facepared to before.
While the people below the stage were filled with sorrow, thepetition on the stage continued enthusiastically.
Ang’s gaze swept over Jessica on the stage, then around the room before finally settling on a person in the corner. Ste was
frowning at Jessica on the stage, then her gaze fell on the half-empty bottle of water on the table, looking confused.
Ang’s gaze became as sharp as a knife when she realized that Ste was involved. She noticed Ste’s difort and
hurriedly ran away. Ang’s suspicions were confirmed when she saw Fanny waiting to go on stage. Is she involved in this, too?
Ste isn’t participating in the speechpetition, so why would she harm Jess?
Jessica’s performance was outstanding. As soon as she stepped on stage, she outshone the other contestants. The audience
was captivated by her and listened attentively.
However, an ident urred in an instant.
The banner above the stage suddenly fell, causing gasps from the audience. Jessica narrowly avoided being hit on the head by
the thick wooden stick. Ang immediately stood up, ready to rush over. But Jessica quickly regained herposure upon
seeing Ang’s anxious expression. She effortlessly entertained the audience with a few jokes in fluent Brundelian, turning the
mishap into a lighthearted moment. When she finished her speech, the apuse was thunderous.
Ang hurried to the stage to meet Jessica, but she saw Fanny and Ste quickly disappear.
“Ang, I’m fine! Did you see how well | performed? | feel like I''ll win first ce!” Jessica reassured Ang as soon as she
stepped off the stage.
Ang checked Jessica and found that she was unharmed, which relieved her. “Why did the banner suddenly fall?”
This question puzzled not only Ang, but also others. Concerned that it might harm someone else, several logistics staff
members rushed over to investigate. They discovered that the rope used to hoist the banner had not been properly tied and had
come loose.
“How could you be so careless? You can’t even tie a rope properly. Thankfully, it didn’t hit any students!”
‘Tm
sorry, but it''s really strange. | remember tying three knots,” one of the logistics staff members. apologized hurriedly.
Ang’s eyelid twitched. When no one was looking, she pulled Jessica to the other side of the banner to investigate. There were
indeed three knots—tight knots that couldn''t be untied without force.
“Ang?” Jessica sensed that something was wrong and became worried.

“It''s alright. Let’s find a teacher and ask them to review the surveince footage,” Ang suggested, convinced that this incident
was connected to Fanny and Ste.
Using such despicable methods and almost hurting Jess, | won''t let them get away with it easily! she thought, and she was about
to leave with Jessica when someone unexpectedly blocked their path.
“Ang Kins, why are you checking the surveince?” Ste asked in a high-pitched voice, drawing the attention of many
people.
“Don’t you know why we''re reviewing the surveince? It’s quite obvious,” Ang replied sarcastically.
Ste appeared slightly ufortable. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Ang sneered and tried to walk past her, but Ste suddenly rushed forward and forcefully grabbed both of them. “You''re not
going anywhere!”
