The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 820 - 819: Someone Wants to Cause Trouble!

Chapter 820: Chapter 819: Someone Wants to Cause Trouble!

The two big shots went back and forth, and after they finished speaking, they all turned to look at Principal Zhang.

Principal Zhang paused for a moment, then once he caught on, he promptly opened his mouth, "Anyway, there won’t be a problem with her getting into Qing University or Beijing University! I have that kind of confidence in Lu Mian!"

The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The "Lu Mian Praise Group" in the principal’s office was officially established.

----

The first exam was Chinese.

Compared to the other hurried and tense examinees, Lu Mian was just too carefree.

With her bag strap hooked over her shoulder, she sauntered casually between the examination rooms.

From time to time, senior high school students from her own school would respectfully greet her with a "Hello, Teacher Lu," to the astonishment of students from other schools.

So young, yet already a teacher?

And taking the college entrance exam?

Lu Mian first went to Sui Yuan’s examination room and saw that she had already gone in, so Lu Mian didn’t disturb her. Instead, she just stood outside in the corridor and gave Sui Yuan a thumbs-up gesture.

Sui Yuan’s face turned red with laughter, and she quickly lowered her head.

Lu Mian then, in true big shot fashion, strolled leisurely to her own examination room. She arrived just on time, and as the invigilator finished checking her in, the whistle sounded from below.

Lu Mian glanced around casually and headed towards the only empty seat.

By coincidence, she had been assigned to the same examination room as Jiang Yingyue.

Jiang Yingyue’s eyes smoldered darkly, glaring at Lu Mian for a long time.

Lu Mian simply pretended not to notice and started flipping through the test booklet with an air of nonchalance.

After the morning’s Chinese exam ended, the campus was filled with lamentations; the reading comprehension was too difficult, and the essay topics were too abstract.

The "Praise Group" trio saw that Lu Mian looked relaxed after coming out of the examination room and knew she must have done well. They started eating their boxed lunches happily.

"Lu Mian is good at the sciences. She’s finished with the Chinese exam, and there definitely won’t be a problem with the math in the afternoon," Han Jin said confidently.

"The math paper this time was set by Professor Geng Yuxiang from Qing University, right? The questions he sets aren’t so simple," Principal Zhang cautiously remarked, his mind flashing to the image of Lu Mian leading (or forcing) the entire senior class. He quickly dismissed his thought.

"Difficult or not, it doesn’t have much of an impact on Lu Mian anyway," Principal Zhang shoved a bite of rice into his mouth.

Mr. Su nodded in agreement. "Mianmian is good at the sciences, and neither math nor the science integrative test will trouble her. There’s even less to worry about with English. I’ve seen her on the computer, and the screen is full of English letters. She’s really slick with it."

Principal Zhang mumbled, "You mean programming code, don’t you?"

"Right. I’m old and don’t understand these things!"

After such a discussion, the boxed lunches in their hands seemed to taste even better.

----

In the afternoon, it was time for the math exam.

Lu Mian, as usual, went to find Sui Yuan at her examination room first.

Students passed by, calling out "Teacher Lu," but Lu Mian felt somewhat distracted.

With ten minutes left before the exam, Sui Yuan still hadn’t shown up.

Yuanyuan wasn’t the type to cut it so close; with her still not at the examination room this late, Lu Mian felt something was off.

She turned and headed to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Kicking open a stall, she sat on the toilet and began dismantling the electronic watch on her wrist.

The electronic watch hadn’t yet been handed over. After she reassembled it, a tiny projection computer was put together.

However, during the Gaokao, high-powered jammers would be activated, rendering mobile phones unusable in the academic buildings, let alone computers.

She glanced at the time, too short on time to think further, and directly hacked the school’s jammer.

----

Meanwhile.

The invigilators in each examination room had already begun stressing the importance of exam discipline.

Especially when it came to "cheating," the invigilators were extremely serious.

As the students listened obediently, the pile of bags outside the examination rooms began emitting various notification sounds and vibrations one after the other.

The students were shocked.

The invigilators were also shocked.

Weren’t all signals blocked? How could a message still be received?

Looking pale, the invigilators quickly walked out, rushing to report the situation to the school.

Principal Zhang received the call almost immediately.

"Hurry and check what’s going on! The issue must be resolved before the exam starts!"

Principal Zhang was furious, and Han Jin’s expression was stern.

Su Lao spoke gravely, "Could someone be trying to fish in troubled waters? Director Han, such behavior must not be tolerated!"

"Director Han, as you can see, our school takes this matter very seriously. We resolved the issue as soon as it was discovered. It’s definitely not the school’s fault; someone must be trying to cause trouble!"

Principal Zhang knew this incident was a big deal, as Kunpeng School had never experienced anything like this before.

By now, someone might have seen the college entrance examination paper and leaked the test questions...

As to how to wrap this up and whether it could be properly resolved, Principal Zhang had no idea at all.

"If worst comes to worst, we’ll have to announce a temporary suspension of the exam," Han Jin said seriously.

Principal Zhang’s heart skipped a beat, "Given the gravity of the situation, it’s all up to you, Director Han."

----

On Lu Mian’s end, she quickly located Sui Yuan’s mobile signal and confirmed her position, then immediately restored the school’s signal-blocking device.

The repair crew hadn’t yet arrived at the blocker when everything returned to normal.

The whole incident lasted only two minutes from start to finish.

When Principal Zhang received the callback, it all felt quite surreal.

The three of them thought long and hard but couldn’t fathom what had caused the two-minute disruption.

In the hills behind the school.

Sui Yuan was surrounded by several young men in martial arts attire. She nervously clutched her backpack, not daring to look up at them.

They exuded a cold, harsh demeanor, a ruthlessness unique to martial artists.

The frail girl stood amidst them, like a chick in front of predators, completely defenseless.

One of the men spoke coldly, "Third Miss, please come back with us."

While he referred to her as ’Third Miss,’ his tone and demeanor weren’t the least bit respectful; he was just emotionlessly carrying out orders.

Sui Yuan shook her head repeatedly, "I won’t go, I have an exam soon."

"What’s the use of a girl going to university?" Another man spat disdainfully, "Isn’t she just going to end up marrying and having kids, carrying on a man’s lineage anyway!"

Sui Yuan bit her lip in grievance.

She had so much to retort, but frustration kept her from uttering a single word.

The man leading them raised his hand to silence the spit-sputtering man.

"Third Miss, if you are unwilling to come with us voluntarily, we’ll have to insist," he said.

"..."

"The Second Young Master said Chixia Sect will always be your home, and he will always wait for you. Once you return, you’ll not be mistreated anymore."

Sui Yuan suddenly looked up at the man leading them.

His face, cold and hard as iron, made it impossible for her to discern whether his words were true or false.

The ’Second Young Master’ he mentioned was her own elder brother, Jing Che, who she had depended on since childhood, who loved to tease her yet always protected her!

"I..."

Sui Yuan’s heart ached, not knowing how to respond.

As she remained silent, the faces of the martial artists suddenly darkened, and they became alert in an instant.

"Someone’s coming!"
