Stopping at the gate of Tiandu University, Qin Sheng turned to look at Gu Yueming and Qin Zheng: "I'm going to the Chi family tonight to check on Old Master Chi. You two can go back first; I'll be back by myself."
They had already heard Qin Sheng mention Old Master Chi's matter, so it wasn't surprising. They only instructed him, "Although the security here in Tiandu is good, there are still some shady characters. I'll have Mo Huang come and pick you up after we're done."
Qin Sheng glanced at Qin Zheng, paused, and nodded: "Okay."
Qin Zheng smiled, handed her the pencil case, and patted her head: "Go in, just do your best on the exam, don't feel pressured."
After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam. Your second and third brothers have good relationships with the president, board members, and professors of Tiandu University. If you don't pass the exam in the future, Dad will find someone to pull some strings for you."
Qin Sheng twitched her fingertips, glanced at him, and nodded obediently: "Okay."
After saying that, he picked up his pencil case and went into the gate of Tiandu University.
Pei Ling followed slowly.
Qin Zheng and Gu Yueming watched the two leave until their figures disappeared into the crowd before they looked away.
The gentle smile in Qin Zheng's eyes faded, replaced by a cold and somber expression.
He turned his head to look at Gu Yueming: "They've been here again?"
Gu Yueming was startled and subconsciously avoided Qin Zheng's gaze, but only for a moment before turning her gaze back.
Somewhat puzzled and curious, she asked him, "How did you know?"
When Gu Zhongyuan came to find her, she was out shopping and didn't have anyone with her. She felt that she hadn't shown any signs of it in the past few days, so how did he find out?
Qin Zheng couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.
Putting aside their many years of marriage, he could tell she was about to hit him just by moving her finger. Not to mention the times she stared at her daughter in a daze and then clenched her little fists with unwavering determination.
If he still can't realize something's wrong after all this, then he's wasted all these years being her husband.
Let alone him, Qin Zheng was certain that his daughter had also found out.
It was simply to be considerate of Gu Yueming's feelings; since she didn't bring it up herself, they didn't ask either.
But none of that matters. What matters is: "What are your plans?"
Qin Zheng grabbed Gu Yueming's shoulders with both hands, pulled her in front of him, and looked directly at her as he asked.
Gu Yueming frowned, glanced at Qin Zheng again and again, and finally said in a low voice, "I promised Gu Zhongyuan that I would go back."
"It's just me, without Sheng Sheng."
Qin Zheng raised an eyebrow: "He agreed?"
Gu Yueming nodded: "Mm."
Qin Zheng couldn't help but flick her forehead with his finger: "Are you stupid?"
Gu Yueming glared at him, annoyed: "You're the idiot!"
Looking around, seeing that most of the parents who had dropped off their children had left, she pulled Qin Zheng aside and whispered in his ear, "How could I not know that they were just trying to use a roundabout tactic, to trick me into going back first, and then threaten Sheng Sheng like they threatened me with my father, forcing her to go back?"
"You knew that, yet you still agreed?"
Gu Yueming gave him a mysterious look: "He has his clever plan, and I have my countermeasures."
She glanced around again to make sure no one was watching them before carefully taking out a jade pendant from her waist, lowering her voice even further: "This was given to me by Master Liaoguang. He said that if I crushed it, I could travel through space."
She made a flying motion, her eyes sparkling, and said, "In a flash, I can return to the Qin family from the ancient martial arts world!"
Qin Zheng was extremely surprised: "How come I didn't know that Master Guang gave you this?"
He couldn't help but think of the 25 billion from last time. Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing within them: "Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"
Gu Yueming chuckled twice: "What would you do if I told you that all three of my sons and daughters belong to Old Wang next door?"
Qin Zheng's face instantly darkened.
He was both annoyed and amused, and couldn't help but flick her forehead, this time with force, leaving a faint red mark: "If you're naughty again, I'll pull out all your hair!"
Gu Yueming: "!!!"
Is he even human?
But... I don't dare anymore.
Gu Yueming immediately backed down: "Yours, yours, yours, it's all yours."
Qin Zheng snorted and steered the conversation back on track: "This thing, does it really work?"
Gu Yueming... Gu Yueming didn't actually know either.
After all, she's never used it before, has she?
Even if it doesn't work, she has a backup plan: "When I was a child, I accidentally helped Elder Ye from the Guardians once. At that time, he said he could help me with something in the future. If it doesn't work, I will go to him for help."
Anyway, she'll never let those people make a move on her daughter.
If all else fails...
"If all else fails, we can just send A-Yuan over there. It's just a marriage alliance, we can just have him marry a daughter from the Yuchi family."
"That brat has no other redeeming qualities, except for his good looks. If he's willing, he should have no problem finding a wife."
"Well, he's already twenty-five and doesn't have a girlfriend, so this is just right."
Gu Yueming thought the idea was pretty good the more she talked about it. If the Dark Division wasn't a bit far away, she would have liked to just bring them all back with her.
Qin Muyuan, who was far away in the mountains, suddenly sneezed twice.
A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes, then he became certain.
He immediately patted Xu Chi on the shoulder and said, "My sister has been missing me so much I've been sneezing. After we finish this job, I'm definitely going to take a month off, and nobody can stop me!"
Xu Chi: "..."
Nobody's stopping you.
However, are you sure it's Miss Qin who's thinking of you, and not someone who's cursing you?
Moreover, what does it mean to have completed this job?
Although their secret service is shady, it is still an organization supported by the Chinese government. Why do you have to portray them as bandits?
Qin Muyuan doesn't care.
He felt that his sister missed him terribly, and as a good older brother, he had to let his sister see him as soon as possible to relieve her longing.
So they plunged into the deep mountains and forests to begin a new round of exercises.
Meanwhile, Qin Sheng had already taken her seat in the examination room. The pre-exam bell rang, and the invigilator, as required, displayed the sealed document bag, then opened it and distributed the thick stack of test papers and answer sheets to the candidates one by one.
The explanation of the rules came from the audio equipment for a good seven or eight minutes before the sound stopped and the official exam bell rang.
Qin Sheng, who was almost asleep with no games to play and no exam questions to look at, suddenly perked up and reached out to open the bound exam papers.
Then you read line by line, and turn page by page.
