Chapter 33: Lingering Sounds

In the examination hall, Zhong Wu was pushed out, and although his weight of over two hundred kilograms was manageable, his broad build caused his hands and feet to fall off the stretcher. Medical personnel could only support him by lifting his limbs, carrying him to the emergency room next door.

However, the doctors in the emergency room all shook their heads, indicating they were unable to treat him, and so he was brought out again.

This back and forth was quite a commotion, and with one less senior student responsible for the combat test, they needed to find a replacement and conduct a public announcement, making the situation even more noticeable.

The candidates, upon understanding the situation, became excited. They exclaimed loudly, "It's Zhong Wu! The senior student in charge of the exam! Look, look over there, the one on the stretcher!

"They're taking him out? Aren't they going to provide emergency treatment?"

"I think they can't save him, right?"

"If even emergency treatment can't help, how badly was he beaten? Haha, which candidate did this? Who's so amazing!"

"Definitely! It must have been the student who just went in! I wonder which one it was? Well done! They're like a savior! Haha, if I were in their shoes, I'd bow in gratitude!"

For some reason, the remaining candidates all felt a surge of inexplicable satisfaction, as if the pent-up frustration in their hearts was finally released. Even those who had remained silent due to the circumstances couldn't help but cheer inwardly.

"No loud commotion!"

A female teacher scolded them, but this time she didn't enforce strict discipline. She only asked the candidates to return to their seats, allowing them to continue their conversations.

She was also familiar with Zhong Wu, a senior student with considerable strength. This student had acquired many resources, and now he was beaten to this state. Was it the work of the candidate who had just entered? She recalled the feeling when Chen Chuan passed by her, immediately confirming her judgment.

In the emergency room, Fang Zhiming also witnessed Zhong Wu being brought in and then taken out. You came in right after I entered? Oh, and now you're leaving...

He couldn't quite believe it, but at the same time, he relaxed, understanding the situation. He let out a 'hey' and clenched his fist, but this inadvertently tugged at his injury, causing him to grimace. After a pause, he looked up at the ceiling and laughed happily.

In the east of Yangzhi City, along the National Highway, a stretched Lan Hui luxury sedan slowly drove up and stopped.

Meng Shu sat in the backseat of the car, accompanied by a female assistant wearing glasses. She asked, "Is the Wu Yi re-examination today?"

The female assistant seriously replied, "Yes, Miss."

Meng Shu said, "Go and ask. I want to know the result now." The female assistant immediately opened the door and got out, going to the people behind to inquire about something.

In the front passenger seat, a butler-like figure turned and said, "Miss, do you really think highly of that classmate? You two played together when you were young, but people's hearts can change. Can he still meet your expectations now?"

Meng Shu said, "Yi Bo, my evaluation of him isn't influenced by any childhood bias, nor am I letting emotions cloud my judgment.

I'm almost eighteen, and I need someone with a clean background, a trustworthy commissioner, to serve me and the family. Only then can the company continue to thrive, and he's the most suitable candidate I've seen."

Yi Bo said, "I've looked at Chen Chuan's information. His academic performance was good in middle school, and before entering Wu Yi, he hadn't joined any martial arts clubs or trained in any gyms, yet he managed to get into Wu Yi on his own merits. Miss, your judgment is indeed excellent. With a little cultivation, he'd be an ideal candidate."

Footsteps approached, and the female assistant leaned in through the car window, cautiously saying, "That Chen Chuan... has passed the Wu Yi re-examination."

Meng Shu didn't say much, instead looking ahead. "Let's go. Back to Central City."

"Wait a moment, Miss." Yi Bo suddenly said, "If Miss wishes to obtain this young man's service, I might be able to think of a way."

Meng Shu looked at him and said, "Yi Bo, I remember you're from Yangzhi, right?"

"Yes."

Yi Bo sighed, "I'm getting old. In my younger years, I followed the Fifth Young Master everywhere, and now my body is still fine, but my heart is tired. It's better to retire in my hometown and watch over this talent for Miss."

Meng Shu said, "I understand Chen Chuan's character. It's impossible to force him with coercion. You can stay, but don't do anything unnecessary."

Yi Bo said, "Miss, I know my boundaries and won't cause you trouble. Being an upper scholar in Wu Yi isn't easy, especially for those without the right background. The more outstanding they are, the more pressure they face." He smiled calmly and said, "Miss, I won't take any initiative. I'll only offer a choice when he needs it, believing he'll understand Miss's good intentions."

Meng Shu said, "Yi Bo, remember your promise."

The front and rear doors of the sedan opened simultaneously. The female assistant got in, while Yi Bo got out and closed the door from the outside, taking two steps back and waving at the car.

Meng Shu looked ahead and said, "Let's go. Back to Central City."

The headlights suddenly lit up, illuminating the road. A leading car drove off, followed by the luxury sedan, and then a string of cars and armored vehicles closely trailing behind, heading towards Central City.

Inside Wu Yi Academy, Chen Chuan stood outside the examination hall, finishing the beef jerky he had been eating, before walking out of the school gates and heading home.

Nian Fuli, Yu Wan, and two cousins were waiting there. When they heard the car bell sound from outside, Yu Wan hurried to go out, but Nian Fuli stopped her, saying seriously, "Don't show too much concern. If he doesn't pass, it'll be hard on him to see your reaction.

"Yu Wan hesitated for a moment, deciding not to leave.

The door creaked open, and Chen Chuan entered the room. He glanced around and saw his younger cousins sitting obediently, their round eyes fixed on him. Nian Fuli was sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper.

Yu Wan, who was knitting a sweater, looked up as Chen Chuan entered. She feigned nonchalance and asked, "Chanchun, how did the exam go?"

Chen Chuan smiled and replied, "Auntie, Uncle, I passed the exam."

"Huff..."

Yu Wan relaxed, putting down her knitting and exhaling deeply. She glared at Nian Fuli and said, "It's all your fault!" Then, as if remembering something, she turned away and wiped her tears.

Nian Fuli, upon hearing the news, couldn't hide his joy, but he maintained his composure. He pretended to be unaffected and said, "Alright, Yu Wan, he passed, not failed. It's not a big deal."

Yu Wan turned back and said, "Can't I be happy? Can't I be happy?"

Nian Fuli muttered, "Xiaoqian got into military school, and I don't see you this excited..."

"How can you compare? Xiaoqian has the care of his military unit."

"I won't argue with you."

Yu Wan walked up and snatched the newspaper from Nian Fuli's hands. She said irritably, "What are you pretending? You don't even know how to hold it properly."

Nian Fuli felt embarrassed and coughed, "The lightbulb needs changing; my eyesight has been getting worse lately."

The younger cousins could sense their parents' emotions. They jumped up, exclaiming "Ooooh!" and clapped their hands repeatedly, happy to share in the joy.

Nian Fuli said, "Xiao Chuan, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

Chen Chuan confirmed, "Not yet."

In the study, Wu Yi Academy, the entire re-examination process had come to an end. Master Gao returned to his office and picked up the phone. He dialed a number and said, "You know about the exam site, right? That kid is interesting. If I say he fought well, students like that must be properly cultivated. But whether he can stand firm or not, we'll have to see for ourselves."

The voice on the other end responded, "This good seedling has just sprouted, don't burden him with too much, lest he collapses. We should nurture him first."

Master Gao scoffed, "How can there be good seedlings under someone else's roof? You think everyone is like you, finding a good wife and relying on a good father-in-law?"

The voice on the other end laughed, "I was just joking with you, Master Gao. It seems your mood is good, so I should find you more things to do..."

Master Gao cut him off, saying, "Alright, stop with the jokes. I'll do what needs to be done. As for the affairs of the University Council, you handle them, Councilor Meng."

The voice on the other end replied with a steady tone, "As long as it follows Wu Yi's rules, I can handle anything you throw at me!"
