The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd!

348 Increasing Difficulty

At this moment, Tang Hui revealed an evil expression. The moment Shan Yue hit her in the dormitory, she had already had this plan in her heart. But she was missing a scapegoat. Coincidentally, Xu Lu took the initiative to look for her at this moment, so she naturally became the scapegoat for the entire matter.

The reason why Tang Hui did not act with Xu Lu at night was indeed to increase the security. However, it was more to avoid showing her face in person. Even if the plan failed in the end, Wu Kai would not have a chance to expose her.

Tang Hui had already found an excuse for the 200,000 yuan that she had sent to Xu Lu. She had thought of a reason to absolve herself from everything, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

A cold laugh came from Tang Hui’s mouth, echoing in the empty classroom.

After completing the mission, Lin Xiao returned to Zhang Huang’s office and reported the entire process truthfully. Like Lin Xiao, Zhang Huang was puzzled by Shan Yue’s words.

“Do you think Shan Yue knows that she won’t go on stage, so she’s showing an indifferent attitude or is she absolutely confident in her ability? No matter which subject she participates in, she’s confident of winning.” Zhang Huang frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Lin Xiao recalled the conversation briefly. “Anyway, Miss Shan’s explanation during the conversation was the first situation. However, I think that no matter how confident a person is, it’s impossible for them to say such things with the second mentality. That’s simply too arrogant. If they’re slapped in the face in the end, there’s no way they can find a hole to hide in.”

“You’re right. There’s no point in dwelling on this now.” Zhang Huang decided not to think about it, and his brows gradually relaxed. “Anyway, everything is ready now. We’re just waiting for Shan Yue’s performance on the day of the competition.”

Lin Xiao’s eyebrows were clearly filled with anticipation. “To be honest, I’m really curious about the identity of that anonymous person now. Who exactly is such a mathematical genius?”

Zhang Huang chuckled and said, “I believe the answer will naturally be revealed in three days. We just have to wait patiently. It’s getting late. You should go back and rest early.”

“Alright, Principal. I’ll go back first.”

However, there was one thing that even Lin Xiao did not know. Zhang Huang used his identity in private and found the person who set the questions for university competition through his connections.

He requested that the difficulty of the final questions of the Capital University’s mathematics team be increased. Ordinary members of the Olympiad team usually had a difficulty of two stars. The members of the national team had a difficulty of three stars, and the final difficulty of the university competition was also three stars.

In order to satisfy Zhang Huang’s request, he could only increase the difficulty of the Capital University to four stars. That was already in line with the standards of the international competition, and the final five stars were enough to represent the standards of the national mathematics researchers.

Logically speaking, Zhang Huang represented the Capital University. His behavior of privately finding the question maker would have banned him from the National Education Bureau for three years.

However, this was also the first time someone had taken the initiative to increase the difficulty of the test questions. In view of the fact that Zhang Huang was also a respected figure in the education world, under the final discussion of the Education Bureau, they agreed to his request. This would also give other universities more chances.

Perhaps even Zhang Huang did not know what gave him so much confidence that he could believe unconditionally that Shan Yue was that anonymous person.

He did not even hesitate to use his connections to increase the difficulty of the test questions at the risk of being banned from the competition. If he failed, he might be left a laughing stock in his clean education life.

However, at least until now, Zhang Huang had never regretted anything he had done. He sat on the sofa and looked at the light from the sun outside the window, thinking about the competition venue three days later. Shan Yue would stand on the stage and shine.

As the sun slowly set, Xu Lu, who had already returned to the dormitory, took out her phone and found Wu Kai’s phone number in the school’s large group. After struggling for a moment, she typed a line of words: Ten o’clock at night, at the entrance of the school’s forest, high price for a matter. As she pressed the send button, Xu Lu became completely nervous.
