Volume 1: The Starting Chapter 15: The High School Entrance Exam

  At this time, the exam had just begun, less than half an hour, Xia Wenjie was about to hand in his paper, leaving the invigilating teachers and candidates on the scene speechless.

  Especially Hu Binbin sitting in front of him, turned his head and stared at him with a 'are you crazy' expression on his face.

  The proctor walked over and asked in doubt: "Have you finished answering?"

  Everyone has answered.

  The teacher picked up his answer sheet and looked at it, then picked up his exam paper, furrowed his brow and said: "There are still many questions that haven't been answered."

  Everyone has answered. Xia Wenjie said again, he packed up his things and asked: "Teacher, can I go out now?"

  The teacher looked at his watch, then glanced at Xia Wenjie, and finally nodded.

  Having obtained the teacher's permission, Xia Wenjie didn't stay any longer, grabbed his belongings and quickly walked out of the examination room.

  The language test was not even half an hour and he had already come out of the examination room, which was surprising enough. As a result, the language test was still the one that took him the longest time.

  He finished his math test in the afternoon and his comprehensive English test the next day within fifteen minutes of starting, leaving the examination room after sitting there for half an hour.

  Mathematics, comprehensive and English, he only did multiple-choice questions, as for other questions, he didn't even look at them, let alone do them.

  Xia Wenjie's performance in this Gaokao was beyond everyone's expectations, whether it was the teachers or his classmates, everyone had the same feeling that he must have gone crazy, otherwise how could he take the Gaokao so lightly?

  He is not crazy, but has his own plan.

  He just wants to use this to verify the authenticity of the audit. If Yu Yao-hui's words are true, even if his own college entrance examination score is zero, he can still find a way to get into the police academy. On the other hand, if Yu Yao-hui and his words are not credible, he would rather be reported by him to the juvenile reform school and sacrifice this opportunity for the college entrance examination than become his accomplice in a muddled manner.

  Half a month later, the college entrance examination results came out. When Xia Wenjie still didn't know his own college entrance examination scores, his scores had already fallen into Yu Yaohui's hands.

  Yu Ju. On this day, Yu Yao Hui was working in the office when Han Hong Feng rushed in from outside, still holding a dozen scrolls in his hand.

  "What's wrong?" Yu Yaohui sat in his office chair, looking up at him with a puzzled expression.

  "Xia Wenjie's Gaokao results are out, adding up the scores of all four subjects, it's only... three hundred points."

  Yu Yaohui heard this and felt somewhat disappointed in his heart. He had thought that Xia Wenjie would score at least 600 points or more on the college entrance exam. He took a look at the test paper in Han Hong's hand and asked, "Is this his test paper?"

  "Yes, Yu Ju, take a look." Han Hong handed the test paper to him and then said cautiously: "Yu Ju, Xia Wenjie's test paper... is very strange."

  "What does it mean?" Yu Yaohui asked casually while looking at the scroll.

  "He finished all the multiple-choice questions, but didn't answer any of the non-multiple choice ones. However... he got every single one of the multiple-choice questions correct, not a single mistake..."

  Han Hong's face was puzzled, scratching his hair, feeling unbelievable and hard to understand, he asked in a low voice: "Yu Ju, do you think he cheated?"

  Yu Yaohui flipped through Xia Wenjie's test papers and answer sheets, finally focusing on his language test paper, intently reading the composition.

  After carefully reading the composition from beginning to end, he burst out laughing and said: "You missed one point, he wrote the composition."

  "Ah, I forgot, but his composition was zero points and wasn't included in the total score."

  "Have you seen it?"

  "No, what's wrong, Yu Ju, is there a problem?"

  "There's nothing wrong with it, it's quite interesting, but the person grading it has some issues."

  Yu Yaohui put down the exam papers, rolled his eyes and burst out laughing, saying: "He answered all the multiple-choice questions, but didn't do any of the other questions. He even knowingly wrote a zero-mark essay that couldn't be done. What do you think he wants to do?"

  "He's either cheating or he's gone mad."

  "I don't think so, I think he's intentionally giving us a hard time, or rather, he's testing our true identities."

  "What? Yu Ju, what do you mean by this?"

  "He did this on purpose to test whether our identities are true or false. If we were really from the government, even if he didn't take the college entrance exam, he could still enter the police academy through paid internship. But if we were fake, with his current college entrance exam scores, there's no way he could get into the police academy."

  "This... isn't right?" Han Hong was shocked, muttering to himself: "The college entrance exam is such a big deal, and he's actually using it to test our authenticity? He... his guts are too big."

  "He's very bold, but at the same time, you can also see that he's being cautious. If one doesn't do well in the college entrance exam, they can still retake it; but if one takes a wrong step in life, there might not be any turning back."

  "Does he suspect we're bad guys?"

  "No matter who it is, even if you encounter such a thing, you will also doubt it, but dare to do it like him, I guarantee that there are not many people. Han Hong, don't you think he's very interesting? Our audit is now so strict that we need someone like him. You go call the police school later... Forget it, this matter still needs me to take charge of it, and it's not easy to force someone in."

  Yu Ju, Xia Wenjie hasn't even officially joined our audit team yet, and he's already causing trouble. If he formally joins later on, I'm afraid the trouble will only increase." Han Hong said with a difficult expression.

  "The auditor needs to have personality, and only those with personality will not become so easily corrupted." Yu Yaohui chuckled: "I think highly of this little guy."

  Han Hong nodded and said: "You are the boss, what you say goes."

  The college entrance examination results have been officially released and are posted on the school's bulletin board.

  Hu Binbin became the top student in school with a score of over 680 points, while Xia Wenjie ranked among the last few students.

  In the mock exams before, Xia Wenjie always got more than 700 points easily, but in the college entrance examination, his score was less than half of what he got in the mock exam, which shocked everyone.

  What's even more surprising is that Xia Wenjie's admission letter was among the first batch to be sent to the school, and the university that admitted him was the Provincial City Police Academy, which requires a score of 550 or above for admission.

  Moreover, to enter the police academy is not just a matter of written examination, the procedure is very complicated, and also requires physical examination, interview, as well as political background check and so on. His admission letter arrived so quickly, it's really unexpected.

  As for being admitted to the police school, Xia Wenjie was both unexpected and expected. This also proves that Yu YaoHui's identity is not fake, what he said about ten out of nine are true, and he really wants to bring himself into the auditing department.

  After receiving the admission notice from the school, Xia Wenjie was about to leave when several classmates stopped him. One of them said: "Wenjie, everyone will be going their separate ways soon, and it won't be easy to see each other again in the future. Today is a rare opportunity for us all to gather together, so we were thinking of organizing a dinner party - are you coming?"

  Xia Wenjie blinked his eyes, nodded, and smiled: "Good, when and where, I'll definitely go." As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his backpack and asked again: "How much money do you need to pay?"

  "Let's start with 200 each, and we can return it if it's not enough."

  "No problem." Xia Wenjie handed over two 100-yuan bills to his classmate.

  "6 o'clock in the evening, at the restaurant on the second floor of the south gate of Xiangzhou Garden Hotel, see you there."

  "Good, till we meet again."

  That evening, Xia Wenjie arrived at Xiangzhou Huayuan Hotel on time.

  They chose a self-service restaurant in the hotel, which was not cheap at all, over a hundred yuan per person. The food was ordinary and there were not many varieties, but the environment was great, the place was big, and there were few guests, making it an ideal place for students to hold gatherings.

  Xia Wenjie was relatively late, and when he came in, his classmates were almost all there. He wasn't a person who liked to show off, nor did he want to be the center of attention, so coming early or late didn't make much difference to him.

  As soon as he arrived, people's eyes were all focused on him.

  "Wenjie, how come you're just arriving now? We were just talking about you."

  "Wenjie, why are you still wearing your school uniform? We're not in high school anymore."

  Everyone spoke one after another, pulling him to the empty seat beside the table.

  Xia Wenjie looked down at his own clothes, then glanced at the attire of his classmates, feeling that he had indeed become an outcast. Among so many classmates, not a single one was wearing their school uniform; everyone was wearing their favorite everyday clothes.

  He shook his head and smiled, saying: "No way, I'm used to it."

  "By the way, Wenjie, your family's gate is quite sturdy."

  "No wonder you dared to take the exam so boldly, it turns out that your family had already arranged for you to enter the police academy."

  Xia Wenjie shrugged, but didn't say a word. He couldn't explain this to his classmates. How could he tell them that he had plotted against an enemy, only to be caught by a mysterious department called the Auditing Bureau and forced to attend police school according to their arrangements?

  He became a happy-go-lucky guy again, and the focus of his classmates' discussion quickly shifted from him to somewhere else.

  The beer in the cafeteria is free, at parties, students toast each other and unknowingly get drunk, regardless of boys or girls, they all drink with their cups.

  Xia Wenjie didn't like drinking alcohol, when others were frequently toasting him, he just silently ate his meal.

  Just as he was enjoying his meal, Hu Binbin walked over and sat down beside him, looking at him with a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

  Even with the best appetite, Xia Wenjie had no appetite when she stared at him like that. He put down his chopsticks and turned to meet Hu Binbin's scrutinizing gaze, smiling: "Congratulations to you."

  "What am I congratulating you on?" Hu Binbin's gaze finally moved away from his face and fell onto the wine glass in her hand.
