A week later, Zhang Yang received news from Wang Siyuan that the drug lord Man Cheng Chuan had died in a warehouse filled with drugs. While the local police confiscated a large amount of narcotics, they were also troubled by the case. Man Cheng Chuan's neck was covered in tiny puncture wounds, as if he had been pricked by needles, but all the wounds appeared simultaneously. No murder weapon, footprints, or fingerprints were left at the scene.
When Zhang Yang saw Man Cheng Chuan's body, his eyes were still open, and the fear in them was as if it had been carved in, clear and profound.
After hearing this, Zhang Yang quietly murmured to himself: Sister Yao, I hope you truly understand the principle of harming others is harming oneself this time.
Following that, the calm days passed quickly. Spring turned to summer, and before long, June brought heat along with the arrival of the college entrance examination. In the last mock exam, Zhang Yang ranked first in his regular class.
The afternoon before the college entrance exam, Zhang Yang went to check out the exam venue with Ding Weiwei. To their surprise, they were assigned to the same testing room, although they were seated quite far apart.
"How do you feel? How confident are you?" Ding Weiwei asked after looking around the venue. She wore a tight white T-shirt that accentuated her curves, making Zhang Yang's gaze somewhat fixed.
"How confident... 35C?"
"You're so annoying! I meant how confident are you about the exam?"
"Oh, passing the first-tier line is no problem."
"Don't you want to go to university in the capital with me?"
"I do want to, but it depends on my grades. Going to a second-tier university in the capital isn't as good as attending Shanhai University; at least it's ranked Top 20 in Huaxia."
Upon hearing this, Ding Weiwei lowered her head and walked ahead silently.
"Are you upset again? I told you, dear auntie, you still don't know my foundation; let's talk about it when the results come out," Zhang Yang caught up with her.
"Again? Why add 'again'? Do I often get angry? Dear auntie? Do I look old?" Ding Weiwei grabbed Zhang Yang's arm and spun him around fiercely.
"Ah..." Zhang Yang deliberately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, which finally made Ding Weiwei's expression brighten up.
The first subject on the first day of the college entrance exam was Chinese. Zhang Yang found the earlier questions quite easy; after all, literature and history were his strengths. When he turned to the essay topic at the end, it was surprisingly:
If Souls Could Be Transplanted
Zhang Yang picked up his pen and began to write with great enthusiasm.
He crafted a mythological story filled with imagination, where the Millennium Evil Soul was sealed away, cultivating into the Unmatched Soul. By chance, it was transplanted into the body of a modern teenager. Through this fusion, the cynical youth became a master of martial arts. He stood up for the weak, punished the wicked, and collaborated with relevant authorities to solve cases, becoming a chivalrous figure traversing the world.
In the conclusion of his story, Zhang Yang wrote:
For thousands of years, people have drawn strict lines between good and evil, right and wrong. However, from the perspective of dialectics, they are both opposing and unified; under certain conditions, they can transform into one another. Moreover, between Good and Evil, there exist various intentions. If one must label this existence, perhaps "rascal" would be more fitting.
Between Gentlemen and Evil Cults, there are individuals like the Rascal Master. They may be cynical or unconventional, yet they uphold ideals and conscience, forging ahead through a path filled with thorns. The Rascal Master has not abandoned positive humanity but has reached heights unattainable by ordinary people. The transplantation of the Strange Soul over a millennium gives rise to the Great Trickster; this is an alternative outcome of "If."
After finishing his writing, Zhang Yang checked it over and found not a single typo. He let out a long sigh of relief.
The Mathematics Exam in the afternoon was Zhang Yang's most dreaded subject. Despite his efforts over the past six months, his grades hovered around the passing line. After receiving the exam paper, he used elimination methods and various strategies to complete the multiple-choice questions first, then stumbled through the fill-in-the-blank section. What remained were six major problems. The first one was very simple, and Zhang Yang quickly solved it. The second was relatively complex but not difficult in terms of problem-solving; after some effort, he managed to solve it as well.
However, after reviewing the remaining four major problems repeatedly, he found himself unable to solve any of them.
The next morning was the comprehensive exam covering politics, history, and geography. Zhang Yang felt no anxiety about these subjects. Among the questions was a major one on history: Discuss the system of military governors during the Tang Dynasty.
"Damn!" Zhang Yang exclaimed as he picked up his pen. Apart from praising the benefits of ethnic integration, he criticized this system extensively. He cited historical references and included many details not found in history books beyond just the An Lushan Rebellion; he wrote fervently.
The English exam in the afternoon went smoothly; Zhang Yang performed neither exceptionally well nor poorly. After two days of exams concluded, he met with Ding Weiwei to compare answers for the math problems. Fortunately, he found that he had gotten all multiple-choice questions correct. "I think I really excelled in this exam; I estimate I can score over 650!" Ding Weiwei said proudly.
"Congratulations, my lady! It seems your dream of attending Huaxia National University for journalism has already been realized!" Zhang Yang joked while bowing slightly.
"Who is your lady?!" Ding Weiwei shot him a glare. "What about you?"
"As long as I wrote something down for math, it should all be correct; I really exceeded expectations! The other subjects were decent too; I estimate around 600 points should be fine," Zhang Yang replied. "Once we get our scores back, I'll decide which university to apply to; we can discuss it then."
"Mm." Walking to a secluded street, Ding Weiwei gently rested her head on Zhang Yang's shoulder.
Two weeks later, the college entrance examination results were released. Zhang Yang was still unaware of his score, but Shen Zhiyu had already checked Zhang Yang's score in advance from the examination office of the Shanhai Province Education Department. "Not too high, not too low, 601." In the office of Luo Huasheng, the vice president of Heavenly Mechanism Group, Shen Zhiyu smiled and said, "In just six months, from a small troublemaker to passing the first-tier line, I really didn't misjudge him."
"This score won't get him into the top universities in the capital, and even at Shanhai University, he won't be able to get into the best programs. I'll work on it; you tell him to come to Shanzhou and attend Huaxia University of Political Science and Law," Luo Huasheng said.
The best comprehensive university in Shanzhou City is Shanhai University, but it is not the one with the highest admission scores. That honor goes to Huaxia University of Political Science and Law. Although it is located in Shanzhou and is called a college, it is directly under national jurisdiction and often leads to jobs in political and legal fields after graduation. Many programs even have early admissions. It is a school that many people strive to enter.
Although Heavenly Mechanism Group has multiple management layers, it is closely linked with the political and legal sectors. Moreover, both Heavenly Mechanism Group and Huaxia University of Political Science and Law are located in Shanzhou, so their relationship goes without saying. Just hearing the name Huaxia University of Political Science and Law gives an impression of its significance; however, many people from other provinces are unaware that this institution is located in Shanzhou.
Huaxia University of Political Science and Law and National Law University in the capital are the two most prestigious political and legal institutions in Huaxia Nation.
At Heavenly Mechanism Group, staff members are formally referred to as company employees, but they are essentially civil servants. The recruitment criteria are strict: candidates must be at least 22 years old with a full-time bachelor's degree from a recognized institution or equivalent military qualifications, along with passing a physical examination.
There are no specific requirements for physical fitness, combat skills, or firearms proficiency because once recruited, staff members will undergo specialized training based on their job characteristics and needs.
Since meeting Zhang Yang, Shen Zhiyu has genuinely taken a liking to this younger brother. After hearing Luo Huasheng's words, he happily picked up his phone and retrieved Zhang Yang's contact number.
