Chapter 40  : Fraud

The vibration of the cell phone attracted the attention of the staff. One of them was already standing behind Zhai Jing and staring at him.

Zhai Jing took a glance at the questions, took out his mobile phone, and put it on the table. He picked up a pen and started to write on the paper. In less than a minute and a half, he finished the questions and then pressed the button to turn in the paper.

The staff had just collected the test papers when Zhai Jing picked up the mobile phone on the table and ran out of the examination hall. The mobile phone rang again and Zhai Jing quickly answered it.

“Zhai Jing?” From the other end of the line came the voice of the accompanying nurse, Big Sister Wu. “Your mother’s condition suddenly worsened in the afternoon. She has just been sent to the emergency room. You have to come to the hospital as soon as possible.”

“Alright, I’ll head over immediately.” Zhai Jing ran towards the back door. He remembered that the main road was just around the corner from back door, so it would be easier to get a taxi.

On the other end, Big Sister Wu paused for a moment before continuing, “Also, your mother’s account already owes quite a bit of money, so the hospital hopes that they can make up for a portion of the money first so that they can arrange for follow-up treatment.”

Zhai Jing was instantly rooted to the spot. “How much do I need to pay? ”

“About 40,000 yuan,” Big Sis Wu replied.

He had 10,000 yuan in his hand and was short by 30,000 yuan. It just so happened that the prize money for this competition was 30,000 yuan.

He had to get his bonus first. Zhai Jing gritted his teeth. “I’ll rush over as soon as possible. If anything happens, please inform me.”

Zhai Jing held his phone and walked back the same way he had come. He was thinking about something and accidentally went the wrong way. He only came back to his senses when he saw the sign. Just as he was about to turn around and walk back, he accidentally heard someone speaking on the phone inside.

It was the voice of the head examiner of the competition. He only heard one sentence. “The first place is Zhai Jing…”

Zhai Jing was overjoyed. He thought that it would be bad to eavesdrop and wanted to avoid it, but then he heard a voice from inside. “Don’t worry, I’ve already exchanged the papers. The first place will be your child’s…”

Zhai Jing’s entire body froze. Fu Sui’s words from before the game rang in his ears. No wonder he was so sure. The result had been decided long ago.

Therefore, they had trained for half a month just to accompany Fu Sui in his studies.

Was Zhai Jing angry? He was furious.

But right now, he was more helpless than angry. Fu Sui had won the championship through fraud, so the 30,000 yuan prize money was gone. What about his mother’s medical expenses?

Zhai Jing walked out in a daze and ran into Fu Sui.

Fu Sui saw his dazed look and raised his eyebrows. “What, you know you’re going to lose? ”

Zhai Jing pursed his lips and looked straight at him. “You stole my results.”

Fu Sui’s eyes widened, and his heart stopped beating for a moment. He wondered how the news had been leaked, but he didn’t panic. Instead, he smiled and said, “You can’t afford to lose, so you want to play dirty?”

“You stole my results,” Zhai Jing repeated.

Fu Sui’s smile disappeared. “Even if it’s true, so what? Do you have evidence? Or even if you have evidence, so what?” He looked at Zhai Jing as if he was looking at an insensible child. “Do you think you can change the outcome? Just based on your face or your math results?”

Looking at Zhai Jing’s angry but silent expression, Fu Sui felt as if the gloominess that had accumulated in his heart these days had been swept away. He poked at Zhai Jing’s heart. “I’m teaching you the most important lesson in your life. Be clear about your position and don’t think about things that don’t belong to you.”

The phone in his hand kept ringing. Fu Sui opened it and pretended to be impatient. “It’s just an amateur competition champion. Is it worth making such a big fuss about? I know, I know. I’ll treat you to a 30,000 yuan meteor banquet. If it’s not enough, I’ll add another table. That’s enough, right?”

Zhai Jing, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard the word “30,000 yuan”.

The 30,000 yuan was originally for his mother’s medical expenses.

But now, Fu Sui had snatched it away and turned it into money for their meal.

The call was still going on. Fu Sui turned around and leaned on the railing. The spiral staircase was below. Zhai Jing glanced at the side of the railing. The screw on it was loose.

This was a blind spot in the surveillance.

The phone in his hand vibrated again. Zhai Jing thought it was a call from the hospital. He answered the call. “I’ll be there soon.”

He turned and went down the stairs. As he ran, his hand accidentally held onto the railing, and the railing made a slight sound.

However, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. “Where are you?”
