Chapter 789
Chapter 789: The Core Group of The Medical Association! The Siblings Have A Crazy Physique!
When Yang Tianming saw Gu Mang come out, he stepped forward but he couldn’t bear to say anything. He pretended to be relaxed and asked, “How did the written test go?”
Gu Mang stood in front of Yang Tianming and she restrained her lazy attitude as she answered, “It’s alright.”
“That’s good.” Yang Tianming smiled. In a way, his smile looked forced.
Professor Xue raised his arm to look at the time and he instantly became even more desperate. Based on the competitions in the past, even the talented students who ranked first individually said that they barely had time to finish.
The reason that the academic competitions that Jijing Island hosted were so respected was that a lot of the knowledge they tested could be found in the textbooks. Instead, the top professors on Jijing Island used a different perspective to test students’ understanding. They focused on teaching the students practical skills.
That was why training was required before the competition. Despite these issues, Gu Mang came out more than ten minutes early…
It’s over… It’s over…
She must have worked faster than when she took the national joint exams and her first exam at Capital University. It was unbelievable. But she had scored well on the joint exams because she was the only person to get a perfect score on the university entrance exams at the age of seven.
As for the first exam she took at Capital University, it was because she was the Criminal Division’s Chief Forensic Doctor.
This time was different.
Everyone at the International Physiology Competition was in the top 100 just like Gu Mang. They were geniuses through and through. Despite this, nobody had handed in their paper as quickly as she did.
Professor Xue had mild asthma and the more he thought about the competition, the more he lost control of his emotions. In the end, he had to use his inhaler and take a deep breath to calm himself down.
Gu Mang looked at him silently.
Upon seeing this, Professor Yang asked him worriedly. “Are you alright?”
Professor Xue calmed down after using his inhaler and he waved. “I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s just that my heart beat a little too fast just now.”
“Professor Xue,” Gu Mang suddenly said.
Professor Xue turned and his eyes met Gu Mang’s deep, black eyes. They were very bright.
He was stunned. “What’s the matter?” he asked.
Gu Mang said expressionlessly, “Your inhaler is almost out. Remember to get a new one tomorrow.”
Professor Xue understood Gu Mang’s hint immediately.
The results of the written test will be released tomorrow. Is Gu Mang afraid that I will have an asthma attack when I see the results tomorrow?
Professor Xue felt as if his heart had been stabbed with a knife. He nodded hopelessly. “Yes, I will bring a new one tomorrow.”
Gu Mang was not in the mood to stay at the hall. She told Yang Tianming and Professor Xue that she was leaving before heading out.
Over ten minutes later. Written test finished up.
Everyone turned in their papers one after another and left the writing room. They walked towards their own teams. All of them were asking about how the written test went.
A group of students who were usually very confident spoke very prudently.
“About 90 marks,” said H University’s top student.
“I don’t know if I’ll hit 90 points. The questions were rather difficult.” The top female student on M University’s team frowned.
When the other teachers saw that the top two students from the top two schools were frowning, they roughly knew how difficult the written test was. There wasn’t much point in predicting their scores now.
A group of students took out their pens and started writing down the questions they remembered from the test. Jijing Island’s test bank was not open to the public, so students could only rely on the memories of those who had taken part in the competition in the past for tips on how to study.
On Capital University’s side.
Qiao You said with a gloomy expression. “Professor, Gu Mang turned in her paper early. Even if she didn’t participate in training, she shouldn’t treat the competition like as if it’s child’s play.”
Both Professor Yang and Yang Tianming did not respond.
Qiao You crushed the transparent folder in her hand. Anger from discontentment was written all over her face. The boys in the team were rather down. They were all smart people so they could naturally guess that Yang Tianming and Professor Yang would never treat the competition like a joke.
That was why when Gu Mang’s name suddenly appeared on the team’s roster, they suspected that someone had tampered with it to spite Gu Mang. But it would be too shameful for them to return to the capital in such a manner.
The information Leng Xuan gave to Shen Qianzi was a book compiled by Jijing Island’s medical schools. It used the same knowledge system as the competition.
She answered all the questions and there were only three that she was not sure of the answer for. In past years, there weren’t many people who scored above 90 on the written test. The highest score on record for the written test was 92.
She was confident in ranking first. No matter what Capital University’s ranking was, it would not affect her own accomplishments.
Shen Qianzi restrained herself and smiled as she spoke up for Gu Mang. “It doesn’t matter if Gu Mang leaves early or leaves with the rest of the students. She probably had a hard time, regardless.”
The more Qiao You thought about it, the more she could not accept it. “So we will be returning to the capital tomorrow?”
All of them stayed silent.
…
At Red Flame’s base on Jijing Island.
In the past, Red Flame’s stronghold on Jijing Island had been a tiny outpost responsible for gathering intelligence. Since Lu Chengzhou had returned to the capital in March to investigate Huo Zhi’s information, he had paid more attention to this place and sent many people over.
About two months ago, he began to develop the outpost regardless of the cost.
When He Yidu, Qin Fang, and the others saw Lu Chengzhou approaching them, they stood up. “Brother Cheng.”
Lu Si knelt on one knee and greeted respectfully, “Young Master Lu.”
Lu Chengzhou walked to the sofa and sat down. He crossed his legs and raised his chin before he spoke. “Sit.”
All of them sat down. Lu Qi ranked last so he served everyone drinks.
“Haven’t found out about the prescription?” Lu Chengzhou adjusted his cuffs. The obsidian cufflinks reflected a sharp glow.
Lu Si bowed and answered, “I didn’t carry out my task successfully. Even after staying at Jijing Island’s medical association for so many years, I never got in touch with the core group.”
Lu Si was the only close subordinate of Lu Chengzhou who had some medical skills.
He was very curious about what Lu Chengzhou had planned.
Although he had been on Jijing Island for so many years, Young Master Lu had stopped mentioning the progress of the prescription after the Blood Institute’s experiment failed.
He hadn’t cared in the past. But now he was so anxious.
Lu Chengzhou tapped on the armrest of the sofa and did not make a sound for some time.
He Yidu and Qin Fang did not know who Lu Chengzhou was doing all of this for. But Gu Si had mentioned that they were from the Gu family on Jijing Island. Coupled with the medicine that Gu Mang gave Gu Si, which made their physiques crazy, Qin Fang and He Yidu could make a guess.
There wasn’t anyone whom their Brother Cheng would spend so much effort on other than Gu Mang.
Lu Chengzhou picked up the teacup and drank slowly. The man’s eyes were droopy and nobody knew what he was thinking.
After he finished the cup of tea, Lu Chengzhou looked up at Lu Si. “You should return first. Watch the competition closely and don’t let Leng Xuan tamper with anything.”
“Huh?” Lu Si was confused. He did not expect his master to actually make him observe a competition between students.
And also prevent Leng Xuan from tampering with anything.
Leng Xuan was from the Elders’ Association and her status was clear for all to see. Why would she tamper with a competition between students?
Lu Chengzhou looked up at Lu Si with his pitch black eyes.
Lu Yi was very kind to explain to Lu Si. “Ms. Gu is in the competition as well.”
Lu Si took a second before he realized who Lu Yi meant by ‘Ms. Gu.’
She was their master’s fiance.
He did not dare ask anything else. He quickly answered respectfully, “Yes.”
