"Master Li, how is the progress on the document organization?"
"About halfway done," Li Zuwei adjusted his glasses. "Lord Chu, I will definitely complete the task within the stipulated time."
"Thank you for your hard work." Chu Feng felt quite reassured about Li Zuwei. "Master Li, many may look down on the document work, thinking it unimportant, but I value it greatly. A complete set of documents is not to be underestimated."
"Thank you, Lord Chu. Um..."
Chu Feng noticed that Li Zuwei seemed hesitant to speak. "If there's something on your mind, feel free to say it."
"Alright," Li Zuwei began. "You asked me to focus on organizing the documents of the new members of the Royal Confidential Office first. The other day, while reviewing the file of new member Lin Yu, I found something interesting... no, rather something suspicious."
"Oh? Lin Yu?" Chu Feng perked up. "What did you find suspicious?"
Li Zuwei organized his thoughts: "Lin Yu is from Licheng in Qingzhou, born in the third year of Tian Yuan, making him twenty-two years old now. His file contains a graduation certificate from the Second Academy of Licheng, stating:
Student Lin Yu, a native of Licheng in Qingzhou, currently nineteen years old, graduated successfully in August of Year Twenty-One of Tian Yuan and..."
"What’s the issue with that?" Chu Feng frowned.
Li Zuwei cautiously pointed out, "Lord Chu, Year Twenty-One of Tian Yuan was when Licheng was under the control of the Rebel Party."
Chu Feng suddenly realized.
Indeed, at that time, the Rebel Party did control Licheng!
"I did some checking," Li Zuwei continued. "In Year Twenty-One of Tian Yuan, while the Second Academy of Licheng was still holding classes, it had already been renamed to 'Licheng Red Academy.' It wasn't until the court regained control over Licheng that it was renamed back to Second Academy of Licheng..."
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes.
Li Zuwei had brought Lin Yu's file with him and placed it on Chu Feng's desk: "Lord Chu, perhaps Lin Yu has fabricated his credentials; there have been several cases of forged graduation certificates before, so this might not be a big deal. However, if he truly graduated from a school under the Rebel Party..."
He was astute enough to leave his statement hanging there.
"I understand now, Master Li. This discovery is crucial; thank you for your diligence." Chu Feng pondered for a moment. "You may go back to your work."
"Alright, Lord Chu. I take my leave."
Chu Feng sat there in thought for a moment before picking up the communication bell: "Summon Second Division from Six Squad; Lin Yu is coming... This is Chu Feng."
Lin Yu? Licheng Red Academy?
He suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Your subordinate pays his respects!"
A voice came from the doorway.
"Come in."
Lin Yu walked in and closed the door behind him. "Lord Chu, Lin Yu has come as ordered." He maintained the demeanor of a student from the Intelligence Academy.
"No need to be formal," Chu Feng said gently. "Little Lin, how have you been at the Six Squad recently? Any news from Su Han?"
"Reporting to Lord Chu," Lin Yu stood straight, "everything is well. Su Han has visited all the department heads, and they have treated him quite courteously... Ah, by the way, yesterday in the dining hall, he complained about the portion sizes of his meals being small, but there were no other abnormalities."
"Oh, you've worked hard."
"Lin Yu does not find it hard; serving Lord Chu is part of my duty."
"Good, graduates of the Intelligence Academy should have this spirit," Chu Feng seemed pleased and then casually asked, "Speaking of graduation, which academy did you graduate from, Little Lin?"
