Searching for someone in northern Myanmar, and you call that earning tuition fees?

Jiangnan University, School of Foreign Languages, a tutoring room exclusively for top professors.

Professor Wang, nicknamed "The Abbess of Extinction," was a ruthless character who could weld the truancy rate to zero with just a glance. At this moment, she was holding a vocabulary dictation sheet, her fingertips trembling.

She suddenly looked up and stared intently at Li Changfeng beside her.

"Consultant Li, are you sure this kid isn't deliberately torturing me?"

Li Changfeng straightened his back, his expression serious, but his heart was pounding.

Professor Wang slammed the dictation paper heavily on the table: "I had him memorize fifty core words, from 'abandon' to 'absorb.' When he dictated them, he could combine them into a kind of colloquialism that nobody could understand. His pronunciation even had a hint of the African savanna."

She took a deep breath, her sharp eyes fixed on Li Changfeng: "Did you raise this child? Are your encryption methods so...regressive?"

Li Changfeng's face twitched.

"Professor Wang, you can scold him all you want, but don't drag me into it." He placed a bottle of herbal tea in front of Su Ming, then bowed slightly to Professor Wang. "Professor Wang, thank you for your hard work. If this kid doesn't learn his lesson, just use 'physics education' directly. I promise the security department will pretend they didn't see it."

Su Ming raised his head and glanced at Li Changfeng.

Those eyes clearly said: You're a real dog.

Li Changfeng ignored his gaze and turned to Su Ming, saying, "Su Ming, after a month of grueling training, plus Professor Wang's... cough, Professor Wang's personal guidance, I have full confidence in your performance tomorrow."

Su Ming said expressionlessly, "I am also very confident in my physical fitness. I can at least withstand Professor Wang throwing three pieces of chalk at me."

Professor Wang's face instantly darkened.

……

the next day.

Outside the CET-6 test center at Jiangnan University.

The cordon was set up even more tightly than when national leaders were inspecting the area.

Li Changfeng, dressed in plain clothes and wearing sunglasses, stood at the entrance of the examination hall, holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand and muttering incantations.

Xiao Wang, the assistant next to him, glanced at the text and saw that what Consultant Li was reciting was clearly a mixed version of the scriptures, including "God bless," "Bodhisattva manifests," and "ancestral virtues."

"Consultant Li, is it really necessary?" Xiao Wang asked in a low voice. "It's just a CET-6 exam, isn't it?"

Li Changfeng glared at him: "What do you know! This concerns the mental health of key national talents and the strategic deployment of the Xishan Command!"

Xiao Wang looked completely bewildered.

Can an English exam really influence strategic planning?

The bell rang.

The candidates poured out of the examination hall like a tide.

Some looked ashen-faced, while others were overjoyed.

Su Ming mingled in the crowd, his expression calm and unreadable.

Li Changfeng rushed forward, anxiously asking, "How was it? Was the question difficult?"

Su Ming looked at him and remained silent for three seconds.

"It's okay, I was just too tired after the exam. I took a nap and dreamed that all the words came to life and chased me with knives."

Li Changfeng's face stiffened, his heart tightened, and he had a bad feeling.

"The one in charge was called 'Abandon,' and he immediately questioned me about why I was abandoning it."

Li Changfeng's face turned deathly pale. He felt as if countless words had transformed into a massive army, trampling away the smooth path of his official career.

……

Time flies, and two months have passed.

Su Ming has had a peaceful two months.

There were no international manhunts, and no virus crisis. He occasionally helped Li Changfeng repair the security department's surveillance cameras or restored encrypted hard drives for the criminal investigation team; his life was unusually peaceful.

This was the day the CET-6 results were released.

The atmosphere in the security office was as heavy as that of a pre-battle command post.

Li Changfeng's fingers hovered over the mouse, his palms sweating profusely.

"Consultant Li, is he out yet?" Security guard Xiao Wang walked in carrying a bag of steamed buns, looking curious. "Brother Su's grades are related to our security department's year-end bonus last year, right?"

"Get out of my way!" Li Changfeng yelled. "This concerns my military career!"

He gritted his teeth and clicked the refresh button.

The webpage loads slowly; every second feels incredibly long.

Finally, the results page appeared.

Name: Su Ming.

Total score: 422.

Li Changfeng's eyes widened suddenly. He stared at the number starting with "4," and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"He passed! He actually passed!" He grabbed Xiao Wang next to him, excitedly bordering on madness. "My military career is saved! I don't have to go to Africa to be a translator for those warlords anymore!"

Xiao Wang was being strangled and was almost suffocating. He managed to utter, "Captain Li... could you take another look... if I remember correctly... the passing score is 425..."

Li Changfeng froze.

He slowly, like a rusty robot, turned his head back to the computer screen.

His gaze was fixed on the three bright red numbers: 4, 2, 2.

He looked weakly at Xiao Wang, his voice low and dejected like a punctured balloon: "What... exactly is the passing grade?"

Xiao Wang was startled by his appearance and instinctively stood at attention, replying, "Reporting to the advisor! In previous years, a score of 425 or above was considered passing!"

Li Changfeng's mind went blank.

Three...three points...

He swayed, then slumped into a chair, his eyes glazed over, muttering to himself, "It's over...it's all over...Is the African sun really that strong? Does that warlord Buck speak Chinese? I...I need to download a translation app right away..."

The duty room was deathly silent.

Just then, a sharp, urgent ringing broke the silence in the room.

It was that red, encrypted phone.

Li Changfeng trembled. He stared intently at the frantically ringing phone, his face filled with unprecedented fear.

it's over...

The truth has come out.
