Anâanâs stomach growled with hunger, so she placed a quick order, and eventually asked the boss to bring a big serving of rice.
Sheng Ning had already recovered from her initial surprise at her sisterâs outstanding performance. As they waited for their food, she couldnât help but ask, "Renault, is it the captain who asked you to follow us every day?"
"Yes!" Renault nodded honestly.
Sheng Ning frowned, roughly understanding why Living Yama had Renault follow them. "Havenât they caught the bad guys from last time?"
"A few died, some escaped. Their captain hasnât caught them yet, and he figures theyâll come back."
"Yes!" Sheng Ning nodded. Having such a potential danger around always made people uneasy.
She didnât want to become Living Yamaâs weak spot.
The food was served, and the three quickly finished eating. After paying the bill and just about to leave, a lot of students came in from outside. They were all talking about the astonishing exam this afternoon.
Renault took off his hat and put it on Anâan, "Follow me!"
"Okay!"
Sheng Ning trusted the reconnoitreâs abilities, kept her head down, holding Anâanâs hand without looking around, and indeed no one noticed.

The next day, Principal Fengâs office phone was ringing off the hook.
"Old Feng! Youâre too much! You didnât tell me about this excellent student, I want to book her right away, and send her to me as soon as she graduates."
"Principal Feng, our research base never asks you for anything. This is the first time, you have to give us some face."
"Old Feng, people should be considerate."
"Iâve already reserved her; whoever dares to compete for her should ask if my weapons permit it first."
Following yesterdayâs professor talent scramble, today departments started fighting over her. Most of them were from usually high-nosed research departments, institutes, and intelligence teams.
In the end, even Principal Fengâs superior had called to inquire about the situation.
"Old Feng, this is well done!"
"Haha, Iâm out of options." He was on the verge of tears! The person hasnât arrived yet, and theyâre all fighting over her â what is this?
"Reserve this person for my External Communication Center; no one else can have her." Finished with a commanding order, he decisively hung up the call.
This time, Principal Feng was really about to cry.
Alas! If only I hadnât made such a big fuss yesterday; who would guess it would lead to this? Iâm not dumb. If only I had been discreet, it would have been better, wouldnât it? Forget it, thereâs no use lamenting over it, got to bring people over now!
It seems a trip to the War Wolf Rescue Team is necessary. Yes! I have to bring Xiao Li. Sheâs friends with Sheng An, it would be easier to talk with her involved.

General Political Department
The office rushed inward, intercepted by the confidential secretary in the hallway, who asked anxiously, "Everyone else has called National Security University, should we?"
The confidential secretary had heard about it too and looked rather conflicted. "Iâll talk to the minister!"
"Alright!"
The two spoke, and the confidential secretary knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Minister, have you heard about Sheng An?" The confidential secretaryâs expression twitched, he hadnât expected it. When Fatty Zhu had written a recommendation letter, they hadnât paid attention, but he turned out to be a real talent, with reportedly extraordinary calculation and memory skills.
If only they had kept her then.
The confidential secretary was filled with regret.
Hai Yunfeng was pouring water; he nodded upon hearing this, "Iâve heard."
"Minister, we... weâve become a laughing stock now." People heard that previously, Fatty Zhu specifically wrote a recommendation letter wanting them to keep Sheng An, but was rejected by the General Political Department; now everyone is laughing at them!
