Rebirth: My college entrance exam score was stolen? I turned the tables and made a billion.

The old Party Secretary's words, "Say it out loud," echoed throughout the entire playground via the loudspeaker.

Meanwhile, the students and teachers below the stage craned their necks, and the buzzing of their whispers gradually grew louder.

"Yes, what was the score?"

"To write an essay that receives national praise, it must have a score of at least 600, right?"

"I reckon... he'd be a top student for a prestigious university!"

Behind the old Party Secretary, Chen Jianguo's legs went weak, and he gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.

Beads of sweat streamed down his balding forehead.

The principal was standing next to Chen Jianguo and saw that his superior was sweating profusely. He didn't know what was going on for a moment.

However, after thinking for a moment, he quickly moved closer and lowered his voice:

"Director Chen, you don't look quite right."

"Have you been working too hard lately and are you feeling a bit weak?"

"I know an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who has a family-inherited secret recipe for tonifying the kidneys. I'll copy it for you sometime..."

Normally, Chen Jianguo would be very concerned about this secret recipe.

But now, he has no interest in listening to any old Chinese medicine doctor.

His eyes were fixed on Liu Guangming in front of the microphone.

It's over, it's over.

As long as this kid announces that embarrassing 312 points...

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Guangming stood in front of the microphone, his gaze sweeping across the stage.

He glanced at the radiant, smug old Party Secretary, then at Chen Jianguo sitting beside him, who looked like he had lost his parents and was trembling like a leaf.

Something's really not right here.

Liu Guangming pondered to himself.

Logically speaking, if Chen Jianguo hadn't switched his scores, he should be beaming with pride and pretending to take credit right now.

But this old man, with his current ghostly appearance, looks like he's just waiting to die.

What exactly happened?

Never mind, the report card is safely in my pocket anyway.

Thinking of this, Liu Guangming leaned closer to the microphone, deliberately drawing out his voice, and began by saying:

"Thank you, former Party Secretary, and thank you to all the teachers for your guidance."

"I'm actually quite surprised to be standing here today."

The entire playground fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

Liu Guangming paused for two seconds, building up everyone's anticipation, before slowly and deliberately beginning to speak:

"Reporting to the old Party Secretary, teachers, and students, my total score for this year's college entrance examination is—"

He took a breath and said in a clear and strong voice: "Liberal Arts, 703 points."

A brief silence.

one second.

two seconds.

ten seconds.

Then, the entire playground erupted in chaos!

"How many?! 703 points?!"

"Did I hear that right? The perfect score is only 710!"

"In all these years, the highest score in the province for liberal arts has only been over 660!"

"A record has been broken! This is a provincial record!"

After the heated discussion, thunderous cheers and screams nearly shook the poplar leaves off the trees beside the playground.

Old Li was so excited that he danced around and tears streamed down his face. Several subject teachers hugged each other and jumped for joy.

And on the podium.

Chen Jianguo's eyes widened suddenly.

His originally pale face instantly flushed red, and his chin snapped open to its limit.

How should I put it? He looks like a toad that's been struck by lightning.

Chen Jianguo's first reaction was:

703 point?

What nonsense is he spouting?!

Wasn't the score stolen? My own son only scores around 300 points!

Yes!

This little brat must be overreacting to his score of only around 300 points and is talking nonsense here!

Wang Shouzhen clearly took the key to the confidential room last night and changed the file. Liu Guangming's grades had already been transferred to Chen Defu's name!

How could my son, Chen Defu, possibly score 703 points?!

Before Chen Jianguo could even react, the old Party Secretary excitedly snatched the microphone from Liu Guangming.

The old Party Secretary's face turned bright red, and his voice trembled uncontrollably:

"Great! Great! 703 points! Top scorer in the province! Absolutely the top scorer in the province!"

"No, I think he's the top scorer in the country!"

He swung his fist forcefully, spitting saliva onto the microphone:

"Comrades! What is this?"

"This is the fruitful result of the wise leadership of the Songyang County Party Committee! It is a miracle created by the education community of Songyang!"

Under the influence of the old Party Secretary's passion, the applause from the audience grew louder and louder.

Amidst the overwhelming noise, Chen Jianguo forced himself to bite the tip of his tongue.

The excruciating pain brought him back to his senses slightly.

Something is wrong!

Something's definitely not right!

He noticed a detail.

If Liu Guangming had gone mad and randomly announced scores, then the teachers in the audience wouldn't have been so excited.

After all, the report card went to his homeroom teacher first.

The only explanation is...

Liu Guangming really does have a score report card with a score of 703!

Chen Jianguo suddenly jumped up from his chair and rushed to the old Party Secretary's side.

"Former boss!"

Chen Jianguo shouted at the top of his lungs, trying his best to hide the panic in his heart.

"You said that since you got such a high score, you should at least show your report card so everyone can see for themselves, right?!"

As he spoke, he stared intently at Liu Guangming:

"Liu Guangming, show me your report card so the old Party Secretary can take a look!"

Liu Guangming was taken aback when he heard this.

However, looking at Chen Jianguo's furious yet feigned composure, he couldn't help but sneer, even though he didn't understand the situation.

Want to see your report card?

Row!

In broad daylight, you're not going to eat the report card, are you?

"Yes, Director Chen."

Liu Guangming generously reached into his pocket, pulled out the neatly folded report card, and handed it over.

Chen Jianguo snatched the report card, his hands trembling as if he were fluffing cotton.

He moved closer to the old Party Secretary, and both of their eyes fell on the thin piece of paper at the same time.

Name: Liu Guangming

Examination Admission Ticket Number: XXXXX.

XXXXX

Total score: 703.

There were no alterations or scratches; the stamp was so clear that you could even see the rough edges.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

When the old Party Secretary saw the report card, he was so excited that he slapped Chen Jianguo on the shoulder again.

At this moment, Chen Jianguo was completely dumbfounded.

His gaze was fixed on the three numbers "703," and his mind was in turmoil.

This... is indeed a real report card.

And the name on it is indeed Liu Guangming!

In other words...

Wang Shouzhen, you didn't actually remove the report card last night?!

That bastard!

What on earth did he go about?!

No wonder, no wonder!

When his son Chen Defu went to collect his report card, he must have been so "surprised" by seeing it that he fainted.

That explains everything.

But what exactly is Wang Shouzhen's situation?

Chen Jianguo stood there, stunned. The cheers, drums, and old Party Secretary's praises all seemed to recede and disappear in an instant.

In fact, if it were before, knowing that his son had failed to gain a place in the competition and could only go home to farm with a terrible score of 312, he would definitely have been devastated and heartbroken.

but……

At this moment, Chen Jianguo felt no sadness whatsoever for his son's failure to pass the exam.

On the contrary, a surge of ecstasy welled up from my heart!

Since Liu Guangming got his score, what does that mean?

This means there was no crime committed! There was no completed crime!

The provincial department naturally wouldn't send anyone down to investigate.

So naturally, no one changed the files or falsified anything!

It's alright!

My son's college entrance exam results are gone, so be it; but my own achievement is still there.

A perfect score essay, Zhang Yuan from the whole province, it's all thanks to my own efforts!

"ha……"

After this extreme fear, the sudden escape and the achievement caused Chen Jianguo's extremely tense nerves to snap.

He let out a strange, short sound.

Then, his shoulders began to shrug.

"Haha...hahaha!"

He suddenly tilted his head back, completely unable to control his expression, and burst into unrestrained laughter right next to the old Party Secretary, in front of all the teachers and students of the school and the media of the county.

"Hahahaha! Good! Great!"

Chen Jianguo laughed so hard he could barely breathe, and tears streamed down his face.

He laughed wildly and slapped his thighs hard, looking exactly like a madman who had just escaped from a mental hospital.
