Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Close Call on Position

He Ling had experience with this kind of matter and immediately agreed to help.

During the editing process, he discovered footage of Zhang Xi intentionally tripping other students.

One of the students later sustained a sprain.

Although he couldn’t directly link the incident in the video to the injury, he could somewhat prove something from it indirectly.

He Ling connected the two incidents and sensed some foul play, so he immediately took his phone to the police.

After receiving the video, the police said to Zhang Xi, "Zhang Xi, please cooperate with our further investigation."

Zhang Xi’s mother’s face turned pale.

Zhang Xi felt dizzy and nearly fell over as well.

Both were taken away.

The onlooking students, all intelligent, could quickly piece together the cause and effect.

Later that night, Director Han gathered all the students and spoke earnestly, "The summer camp is a place of competition, but it’s also a place for everyone to improve. Competition is not only present now; among these hundred or so students, it will continue in the future, and you will encounter even more competitors in the wider world of competition.

I hope you all remember that life is a constant, invisible competition.

But when facing pressure, I hope everyone avoids taking the wrong path. To work hard to improve oneself and to make progress is the greatest significance of competition, not to fight desperately with others for short-term gains."

He never mentioned Zhang Xi by name in his speech.

But everyone knew it was about Zhang Xi.

The student who got tripped and sprained by Zhang Xi gradually understood what had happened.

She only then realized that while she hadn’t been doing well in the sprint, she shouldn’t have fallen like that. She hadn’t expected that it was Zhang Xi who tripped her on purpose.

What eventually happened to Zhang Xi was not further disclosed by Director Han, but everyone knew that her name had not only disappeared from the last place on the summer camp list, but it was directly removed.

"You can’t say that Xia Enci and He Ling are just lucky. They managed to avoid someone like Zhang Xi."

"Yes, that’s why they say ’The wicked bring about their own destruction,’ and it’s Zhang Xi who’s done just that."

"Fortunately, Xia Enci and He Ling are both sports champions. Even if they encounter problems, they can solve them easily. If it were the likes of you and me, Zhang Xi would have probably won easily."

Both He Ling and Xia Enci felt somewhat embarrassed, since it wasn’t them who had solved the problem, but Jiang Zhe, who had seen through what was in the juice and helped them avoid this incident.

Otherwise, things might really have gone as Zhang Xi had hoped.

After learning of the incident, Jiang Fanyue regretted having visited Zhang Xi in the hospital.

She feared getting dragged into the mess.

Fortunately, the police had everything under control, and wouldn’t wrong those who hadn’t been involved, so Jiang Fanyue’s worries were unfounded.

Director Han still gave He Ling and Xia Enci an update on the matter.

"The incident with Zhang Xi, although she won’t be imprisoned, has already involved the police and caused quite a stir. The school has given her a serious demerit. With this recent demerit from the summer camp, she has no choice but to leave the school."

Although Xia Enci also felt some regret, this was Zhang Xi’s own doing, so she had no comment to make.

"But rest assured, the spirit of the summer camp won’t change because of one or two students. You should continue with what you were doing and make the most of your time."

"Alright!" Xia Enci and He Ling responded.

...

After Zhang Xi left the summer camp, there was one less person there.

Lou Qiaoyin found Jiang Zhe, "We’re one person short now, and according to the previous applications, you could go over."

Jiang Zhe thought for a moment, "Alright, I’ll go."

"Great, I’ll immediately ask Director Han to arrange a makeup test for the previous material for you." Lou Qiaoyin was just trying her luck with Jiang Zhe, and her actual agreement was a pleasant surprise.

So, Jiang Zhe went over.

With Zhang Xi expelled and Jiang Zhe taking over that spot, Jiang Fanyue couldn’t help but harbor a grudge.

Even Meng Yirou was surprised to hear the news, unsure whether to marvel at Jiang Zhe’s luck or sympathize with Zhang Xi’s misfortune.

By the time Jiang Zhe arrived, there were actually only a few days left of the summer camp.

She made up the previous material and, together with the others, completed what was left.

In the end, Jiang Zhe’s scores were right on the mark, just making it to the 50th position, barely qualifying for the reduced-score admission.

However, since He Ling and Xia Enci both achieved phenomenal scores and rankings, placing in the top ten, they attracted a lot of attention.

Si Qing and another student from the unnamed class also managed to secure spots in the top ten.

Their results engendered much discussion, so Jiang Zhe’s clutching of the 50th spot didn’t draw much notice.

This time, the performance of the students from the school was so outstanding that Director Han and the school leaders were glowing with pride.

Upon returning, Lou Qiaoyin also received specific praise.

After that, Jiang Zhe received a phone call from Mr. Gao, "You said you were coming to help me with the exams?"

"Just arrived."

"That’s more like it."

Jiang Zhe was also planning a trip to Beijing, actually to pick up some more medicine from Pei Yuan.

Qin Feng was about to give birth, and there was a medication that would ensure a smooth delivery.

She took the opportunity to call Jiang Xiruo, wanting some newly cultivated mushrooms, one of which contained an extract that Jiang Xiruo needed to assist with.

All these things were beneficial for Qin Feng’s health.

"I’ve been in Beijing recently, so if you need anything, you might have to make the trip yourself."

"No problem," Jiang Zhe agreed.

Xia Enci came running over, "Xiaozhe, are you going to Beijing? Can you take me with you?"

"Do you have something to do?"

"My grandma is sick, and my mom is looking after her. It’s quite serious, so I need to go and see her," said Xia Enci.

"Then come with me," Jiang Zhe agreed.

Of course, going to Beijing would inevitably alert Qin Jingchen.

Qin Jingchen specially came to pick her up.

"Are you going to stay in Beijing for a few days?" he asked.

"Might need a few days." Mainly because of Jiang Xiruo; Jiang Zhe might need some time.

"Stay at my place?"

The man’s voice was noble yet gentle, yielding control and the sense of pressure that came with masculinity before her, giving her the choice from start to finish.

But it also carried an inexplicable invitation that was hard to refuse.

Jiang Zhe had other affairs to attend to and deliberately overlooked the seduction in his tone.

"I’ve got some other things to take care of."

She didn’t elaborate on what those things were.

Qin Jingchen’s thin lips curved slightly, "Alright."

When they arrived at the Xia Family’s residence in Beijing, Jiang Xiruo greeted them.

"I’m sorry for making you come all the way to bring Enci. You’ll have to come and see me yourself for the things you want," she said.

"It’s alright. How is grandma Xia doing?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"The same old issue. But now with her age, it’s indeed not that easy to pull through," said Jiang Xiruo, her tone tinged with regret.
