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

Liu Guangming was still clutching a half-dry towel in his hand, and his words caught in his throat.

The next moment, with a muffled thud, Zhao Xiaojun knelt straight down on the moss-covered cement floor.

"Xiao Jun?"

Liu Guangming's brow twitched, and he quickly took a step forward.

"What are you doing? Get up right now!"

Zhao Xiaojun didn't move.

He tilted his head back, and tears washed out two muddy ruts on his face where the black oil had been washed away.

"Brother Guangming..."

Zhao Xiaojun spoke.

"I'm so sorry! My whole family has let you down!"

Liu Guangming pretended to be confused and reached out to grab his arm.

"What's wrong with you in the middle of the night? Stand up and say what's on your mind. A real man only kneels to heaven, earth, and his parents. Get up!"

Zhao Xiaojun stubbornly resisted, and flung Liu Guangming's hand away.

"Brother Guangming, don't touch me yet, let me finish what I have to say!"

"I'm afraid if I stand up, I won't have the face to say it!"

Zhao Xiaojun suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself across the face, leaving five bright red finger marks instantly.

He was trembling all over, his teeth chattering, and he poured out everything he had heard half an hour earlier in the alley behind the county guesthouse.

The conspiracy between Chen Jianguo and Zhao Youcai.

The files were switched, and the grades were replaced.

And then there was that vicious plan: "Just find some excuse to lock him up in a detention center, cutting off all his escape routes."

With each word Zhao Xiaojun spoke, his eyes reddened further. By the end, he was lying face down on the ground, his hands gripping the cracks in the brickwork.

"Brother, they're not human!"

"That Chen Jianguo is a beast who gave birth to a son without an anus, and my dad... my dad is an even bigger bastard!"

"They're using you as a scapegoat; they're going to ruin your life!"

After Zhao Xiaojun finished speaking, he broke down and burst into tears again.

After hearing these words, the courtyard became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only the bucket by the well was still dripping water, "drip, drip."

Liu Guangming stood still, motionless.

The dim light shone on his face, making it half bright and half dark.

His fists clenched tightly at his sides, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and his eyes widened in shock.

However, this was something he deliberately acted out.

In fact, Liu Guangming already knew about this matter when Zhao Xiaojun said the first few words.

After all, he was already intimately familiar with that sordid conspiracy.

But his shock stemmed from the real presence of the boy lying on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Liu Guangming sighed heavily in his heart.

Reborn, life is truly unpredictable.

In his past life, after the truth about his identity being stolen came out, he went around complaining to the world and was beaten until his head was bleeding.

At that time, Zhao Xiaojun only learned at the very end that Zhao Youcai was Chen Jianguo's number one accomplice, birds of a feather.

But in this life, because he wanted to make quick money to save for tuition, he casually dragged Zhao Xiaojun along, thus changing the course of his daytime life.

If it weren't for this, Zhao Xiaojun wouldn't have gone to the guesthouse on his way home that night, and happened to stumble upon this huge scandal.

What shocked Liu Guangming the most was that Zhao Xiaojun actually chose to put righteousness before family when faced with a choice between kinship and morality!

This spirit, this honesty, warmed Liu Guangming's heart, a man who had seen the coldness of the world in his previous life.

"Brother Guangming!"

Seeing that Liu Guangming hadn't made a sound for a long time, Zhao Xiaojun thought he was scared out of his wits, so he hurriedly kowtowed twice more on the ground.

"Brother, say something! Don't scare me!"

"It's all my dad's fault! If you want to hit or yell at me, come at me! You can hit me first to vent your anger!"

Zhao Xiaojun cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, and reached out to pull at his hair.

Just as he was about to kowtow for the third time, Liu Guangming moved.

He took two steps forward, grabbed Zhao Xiaojun's sweat-soaked shirt collar with both hands, and with a sudden burst of strength, lifted Zhao Xiaojun off the ground.

"Stop kowtowing!"

Liu Guangming lowered his voice and let out a low growl.

He stared intently into Zhao Xiaojun's bloodshot eyes. The two were so close that they could almost feel each other's heavy breathing.

"Zhao Xiaojun, listen to me carefully!"

"Your father is your father, and you are you."

"His despicable deeds are not your fault!"

Zhao Xiaojun was stunned, tears still welling up in his eyes, staring at Liu Guangming with a look of astonishment.

"Brother Guangming..."

Liu Guangming let go, straightened his rolled-up collar, and patted the dirt off his shoulder.

"You risked offending your own father in the middle of the night to come and tell me this whole story."

"Just for this reason alone, I, Liu Guangming, acknowledge you as my brother."

Liu Guangming's tone was calm, yet every word carried immense weight.

Zhao Xiaojun's eyes welled up with tears, and they streamed down his face once again.

The frantic run in the middle of the night, the struggles and fears along the way, all felt instantly affirmed by that one word, "brother"!

He hastily wiped the black oil off his face with the back of his hand, gritting his teeth and gritting his teeth fiercely.

"Brother! Don't worry!"

Even if I, this old man, beat me to death and kick me out of the house, I will still stand by your side!

"I'll risk my life to get your university spot back!"

Zhao Xiaojun became more and more excited as he spoke, and turned around to look for his bicycle.

"Let's go! Brother, let's go now!"

"Where to?"

Liu Guangming grabbed him.

"Go to the provincial capital! Go to the Public Security Bureau to report this!"

Zhao Xiaojun said.

"They're ruthless in the county, let's go to the provincial level and file a complaint!"

"I'll personally testify for you! I refuse to believe there's no law in this world!"

After saying that, Zhao Xiaojun tried to pull Liu Guangming away.

Seeing Zhao Xiaojun's impulsive and impulsive manner, Liu Guangming shook his head inwardly.

"stop!"

"Do you think you own the provincial capital? You can't just sue me whenever you want?"

Liu Guangming asked calmly.

"Who are you going to sue? The director of the county education bureau? The newly appointed deputy director of the county public security bureau?"

"Where's the evidence?"

"Based on a few drunken words you overheard under the window?"

Liu Guangming released his grip and stared coldly at Zhao Xiaojun, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"Believe it or not, as soon as you step through the gates of the provincial government building..."

"Then Chen Jianguo and your father will get the news, secretly switch the materials back, and then smear you with some kind of family conflict, taking you back for strict supervision?"

"That's it. After the higher-ups finish their inspection, they can just find someone similar to me and replace them, right?"

Zhao Xiaojun's mouth dropped open; he was completely dumbfounded.

"Then...what do we do? Bro, are we just going to watch them take your spot?"
