  At night, Gu Mang was sitting in bed looking at her exam papers when suddenly her phone vibrated. She picked up the flip phone beside her to see that Yun Ling had video called her.

  She hung up and texted her. “What’s up?”


  Yun Ling’s reply came very quickly. “The President of Country K has come to place an order again. This time it is not an anonymous order. It is said that his wife has been suffering from a strange disease for six years so he wants to find the genius doctor. The price is high. Will you take it?”


  They do not set priority for anonymous orders. It was so Shadow League could avoid potential risks since they were in an absolute and dominant position. This was the rule of the Shadow League. If people wanted to seek their help, they had to follow the rules.

  The President’s illness had not been cured by the physicians around him even after six years?

  Gu Mang looked up. She was a little interested. She looked at the examination paper in her hand and replied nonchalantly. “I’m busy lately. Ten days from now.”


  Seeing that the ‘boss’ had agreed, Yun Ling sat up straight. She was rather surprised. The number of people who were cured by the genius doctor was not small but this ‘boss’ had never agreed to any of the orders.

  No matter what price people were willing to pay, she wouldn’t budge. This time, she actually agreed.

  She wanted to ask for the reason but she did not dare. So, she replied, “Fine, I thought no amount of money would move you.”


  Gu Mang did not reply. She threw her phone to the side casually……

  The exams were nearing. The atmosphere at Ming City High School was tense. Every subject teacher wished that they could go through ten papers in a lesson. Almost every class dragged past dismissal time.

  Recess was like a war zone. They would squeeze out as much time as they could to study with the leftover time being dedicated to eating.

  Qin Yaozhi and Meng Jinyang were incredibly busy. The students in their class always went to seek help from them during recess time.

  “Lu Yang, get Daddy a bottle of water. I’m thirsty.” During lunch time, the classrooms were almost fully occupied. Qin Yaozhi was parched from explaining problems for half an hour.

  Lu Yang’s lips twitched. “Get lost, who’s your son!?”


  Despite insulting each other, he still dragged Chu Yao and Fatty along to the supermarket to buy a lot of food. While they ate, they crowded around to study together.

  Qin Yaozhi had a bad temper. If he explained a question for hours but Lu Yang and three boys still couldn’t get it, he would start cursing.

  “Big lady, could you learn from Jinyang and be more patient and gentle? Who would marry you if you are like this!” Lu Yang said in spite.

  Qin Yaozhi smiled faintly. “Whoever it is, it won’t be you.”


  Lu Yang laughed. “Same, same.”


  Seeing them fool around, Meng Jinyang always laughed as she found it really amusing. Gu Mang supported her face with her hand, expressionless. She flipped through her papers calmly and read them……

  The school only gave them admission passes. In the afternoon, they took half a day off to visit the examination venue. They heard that this national entrance exam was not a sudden decision, but a long-awaited plan to select a group of talented students to train in professional fields. The students’ performances were all rather spread out. Some were good at math while some were better at English.

  But the university entrance exams took into account only the final score. It was common for some student’s talents to be hidden so the national exams were there to test the waters. They intended to admit a batch of gifted students who performed extremely well in one subject. To most students, this was a great idea.

  The exams formed groups by city so all the students were assessed as a whole. Meng Jinyang, Fatty and Chu Yao’s examination venue was at Experimental High School. Lu Yang and Qin Yaozhi’s examination venue was at Ming City Fourth Middle School. Only Gu Mang and Shen Huan were taking their exams at their own school.

  Gu Mang picked up the admission pass and raised her eyebrows in a good mood.

  Qin Yaozhi was envious. “Sister Mang, you and Shen Huan are so lucky to be able to take the exams at our school. You don’t even have to find the exam hall in the afternoon.”
