I swindled the world.

Chapter 9 - Celebration Banquet

The matter of the cheating case of the college entrance examination was quickly escalated to the height of a criminal case in the forty-eight hours after receiving the tip-off call.

After all, the seriousness of the college entrance examination should not be underestimated ......

When Ye Gao Yi came out of the interrogation room and returned to his office desk, it was already the early morning of the 1st of July.

Ye Gao Yi had Li Xuan's photo on his desk, and the surveillance video was repeatedly playing on the computer.

It was the look of Li Xuan walking faithfully into the middle of the examination room ......

He only felt a chill in his heart.

Thinking back to what Song Yang had said in his mouth, Li Xuan had once confronted him face to face with that dialogue.

Bold and meticulous.

The most crucial thing was that this young man knew how to keep the lights on!

No one suspected him!

If it wasn't for the fact that he had taken the Scholarship, perhaps no one would ever find out what he had done!

In half a month, even the information from these video surveillance will be erased!

Then there would really be no evidence against him!

Thinking this way, Ye Gao Yi lit another cigarette, his brows knitted tightly.

"I didn't expect ......"

"To be able to make such things at this age ......"

"What's a bad place to use this kind of mind!?"

Just as he took a hard drag on his cigarette, a division officer who worked overtime together came forward.

He opened his mouth and said, "Team Ye, what should we do? Go out and arrest Li Xuan now?"

Ye Gao Yi shook his head.

He spoke, "The meaning from above, we can't make a big deal out of it."

"Otherwise, the impact will be too bad, and if we want to maintain social order, we can't just think about fighting crime."

"Tomorrow he is going to attend the celebration banquet of Zhonghai No.1 Middle School ...... We will carry out the arrest after the banquet ......"

Before the word arrest catch could be uttered, he suddenly stopped.

"It's either tomorrow or today ah."

"Xiao Zhang, you go and rest. Tomorrow's action ......"

"All cheer up!"

Hearing this, this division officer standing in front of Ye Gao Yi nodded and turned around to go rest on the duty bed in his office.

......

July 1st, eleven o'clock at noon.

Li Xuan arrived in front of the Zhonghai Hotel.

In front of the main entrance of the Zhonghai Hotel, there was a very conspicuous table.

It read, "Warmly celebrating the great success of Zhonghai No.1 Middle School's 2019 College Entrance Examination!"

"This celebration banquet is fully supported by Zhonghai (International) Hotel."

"All guests are invited to dine on the twenty-third floor."

And just as Li Xuan took a step inside, he noticed Sweetie Zheng.

After seeing the film that day, although the two had exchanged WeChat, they had never spoken.

Li Xuan was of course trying to say as little as possible about something, too many words would be lost, this truth was deeply understood.

"Li Xuan ......"

By the looks of it, it was clear that Zheng Sweetness had been waiting at the door for some time.

"So ...... coincidental?"

Zheng Sweetness said with slight embarrassment.

Her appearance gave Li Xuan a laugh.

Li Xuan said, "Then go up together?"

Zheng Sweetness nodded heavily, "Mm!"

Twenty-third floor.

Just as soon as he exited the lift, Li Xuan froze slightly.

This row is indeed very large, Zhong Northwest's previous comment about bleeding ...... seems to have indeed made a blood sacrifice.

Scanning round, in the large hall on the twenty-third floor, there were about forty to fifty large tables in total.

At the end of the hall, is a banner.

On the left and right sides, there were floor-to-ceiling windows, making the lighting of the entire hall very transparent.

In the middle of the hall, there were reporters, teachers, students and parents, and even some old alumni of Zhonghai No.1 Middle School.

The atmosphere of this scene was lively as hell.

However, Li Xuan frowned.

"Li Xuan!"

"Come this way!"

Zhong Xibei's face was flushed red, and it looked like he was indeed very excited today.

"Just in time, Sweetie Zheng, you guys come over here together!"

Li Xuan and Sweetie Zheng sat beside Zhong Northwest on the left and right, while Sweetie Zheng's expression was originally a bit resistant, but then she could only follow the old headmaster's wishes.

"Today is your celebration banquet, and it's also the celebration banquet of Zhonghai No.1 Middle School!"

Zhong Xibei said in a high-pitched voice, "Our Zhonghai No.1 Middle School has finally raised its eyebrows!"

With that, he began to introduce Li Xuan to the other old comrades sitting at the same table, his words revealing his love for Li Xuan.

He was indeed admiring this young man.

At eleven thirty.

The banquet officially started, and Zhong Xibei stood up and walked from the wine table to the podium to continue his speech.

He spoke excitedly on the stage about the history of Zhonghai No.1 Middle School over the past thirty years, describing how he had expanded Zhonghai No.1 Middle School from a few rows of bungalows all the way to its current size.

And of course, thanked the organisation.

Finally ......

"This time, our Zhonghai No.1 Middle School came out on top with eighteen students who scored over 700 points! Leading nationwide with thirty per cent above the re-booking line!"

"There are even five students who have gained early batch acceptance from Huaqing and Jingda University!"

"Even more noteworthy is our Li Xuan!"

Speaking of this, the entire room warmed up.

The applause clattered.

People were especially not stingy with their encouragement for Li Xuan!

Almost everyone knew just how difficult Li Xuan's road to school had been!

The flashbulbs clicked and flashed, and the reporters quickly joined in the applause after they finished filming.

However, none of them seemed to notice that Li Xuan's expression was not very good.

And at this moment, Zhong Xibei continued, "Student Li Xuan, with a high score of 740 points, has captured the top science student of this province!"

"This is not only his own glory, but also the glory of the entire Zhonghai No.1 Middle School!"

"Our school has decided to encourage this!"

"Please ask Li Xuan to come up to the stage to receive his award!"

Li Xuan stood up from his seat and walked towards the podium.

At this moment, Li Xuan was full of smiles, completely different from the seriousness on his face just now.

But no one noticed the change in his expression.

Zhong Northwest handed over a handbag to Li Xuan, and the flashbulbs burst again.

And Zhong Northwest continued to hold the microphone and said, "I hope that student Li Xuan will continue to work hard in the future!"

"I also hope that Zhonghai No.1 Middle School will get better and better in the future!"

Wow!

The applause rang out once again.

Only when the warm applause fell did Zhong Northwest walk down from the stage with Li Xuan.

In front of the table, Zhong Northwest raised his glass and said loudly, "I wish Zhonghai No.1 Middle School, better and better!"

Everyone seated stood up and raised their wine glasses.

Even Li Xuan and Sweetie Zheng stood up.

The crowd drank the wine from their cups in one go, and it did seem to be flowing freely.

Headmaster Zhong was indeed in a good mood, and in just a few moments, the table had collectively drunk three glasses.

The atmosphere was getting warmer and warmer, but Li Xuan was not as happy as the others ......

His face was a little red.

"What's wrong with you?"

The meticulous Zheng Sweetheart noticed Li Xuan's abnormality, she looked at Li Xuan and asked so.

And after all, there was still a Zhong Xibei between the two of them, and Zhong Xibei naturally heard Zheng Sweetness' words.

He glanced at Li Xuan and said, "Student Li is not capable of drinking?"

Li Xuan raised his head feeling a little weak and nodded slightly.

Zhong Xibei saw that Li Xuan was indeed physically unwell, and he did not want to let Li Xuan sit hard at the wine table, so he then spoke, "Then you go back first, classmate Li."

Li Xuan still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhong Northwest, "You are the pride of our Zhonghai, don't care about anything else, just go if you are not feeling well."

Hearing Zhong Northwest say that, Li Xuan smiled gratefully and then left the table with his handbag.

......

Zhonghai Hotel monitoring room.

Everything on the twenty-third floor was in full view.

Watching Li Xuan stand up and prepare to leave, Ye Gao Yi picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a low voice, "Start the operation." *
