On the other side.

  102 Research Base’s spacious advanced laboratory was filled with high-tech lab instruments and equipment.

  Looking displeased, Leng Xuan removed her gloves and tossed them into the bin before walking out of the lab with Leng Yun in tow. “Elder Leng, there are many clans at the competition venue and news has spread.”


  Leng Xuan’s eyes glowed darkly as she said, “Send me the video of her competing along with her answer sheet.”


  “Yes.” With one hand holding a tablet, Leng Yun took out her phone with her other hand to call the medical association.

  The medical association worked quickly and the documents were sent over in just two minutes.

  Leng Yun played the video before handing the tablet to Leng Xuan. When Leng Xuan saw the formulas Gu Mang wrote down, she stopped in her tracks. Her grip on the tablet tightened as she stared unblinkingly at the screen.

  They had not taken Gu Mang seriously even when she placed first for the written portion of the competition, but her capabilities had completely changed their mind about her. Most importantly, this was just the start. Gu Mang was definitely far more capable than they knew.

  Leng Yun was dumbfounded and she could not help but be worried that Gu Mang would end up passing the assessment.

  Naturally, Leng Xuan had anticipated this as well. After watching the video, she stood rooted in place with the tablet in her hand.

  Staff in white coats respectfully greeted her as they walked past her, but she remained motionless for a whole five minutes.

  “What should we do now, Elder Leng?” asked Leng Yun hesitantly.

  Leng Xuan narrowed her eyes and passed the tablet back to Leng Yun before continuing to walk forward with cold, gleaming eyes. “Go to the supermax prison.”


  Her reply took Leng Yun aback for a moment. When she regained her senses, she quickly followed Leng Xuan into the elevator……

  102 Supermax Prison’s meeting room.

  A staff member brought a man in handcuffs and shackles to Leng Xuan. “I’ve brought the person you wanted to see, Elder Leng.”


  “You may leave.”


  “Yes.” The staff bowed to her and left, closing the door behind him.

  Leng Xuan tilted her head and smiled as she gazed at the man. She politely greeted him. “Master.”


  The man laughed and swaggered over to the sofa, his metal shackles clinking loudly as he walked.

  Leng Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly at his situation.

  The man sat across from Leng Xuan and studied her face for a couple of seconds before laughing. “You’ve changed now that you’re the big shot of 102.”


  Leng Xuan poured a cup of tea and offered it to him. “I wouldn’t have gotten this chance if you hadn’t groomed me.”


  The man squinted at the teacup before taking it from her and staring down at the floating tea leaves. “Let’s get straight to the point. What’s the purpose of your visit?”


  Leng Xuan’s lips curled up. “I need a small favor from you.”
……

  The day’s matches had ended.

  Yang Tianming and his team left the Academic Center, intending to go back to the hotel to hold a small team meeting to discuss the final round.

  Gu Mang told Gu Si and Jiangsui to return to the villa first. Bai Sui and Bai Qingqing followed her to the hotel.

  At the hotel suite.

  All the students were seated at the long table, which was piled with all sorts of books and materials. Yang Tianming and Professor Xue explained to them the types of questions that would come up and gave them some advice on how the competition would be run.

  Gu Mang did not talk much during the meeting, but whenever she did it was to the point.
