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

It's 1:30 a.m.

The courtyard of the Songyang County Education Bureau was dark.

The old man in the guardhouse had long since fallen into a deep sleep, snoring loudly.

Wang Shou, the director of the county education bureau's admissions office, was pushing his old, worn-out bicycle when he stopped a few dozen meters from the gate.

He parked the car against the corner of the wall, took a red Double Happiness thermos with "Peony" printed on it from the back seat, and tucked a bulging old briefcase under his arm.

After doing all that, he hunched his shoulders and climbed up the fire escape ladder on the side of the office building.

The iron ladder was old and in disrepair, creaking loudly when stepped on, which frightened him so much that he kept looking around, afraid of making a loud noise that would attract the attention of the night patrol.

After a great struggle, I finally made it to the door of the confidential room on the third floor.

Wang Shouzhen leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

In the corridor, without the lights on, it was pitch black.

He pulled a bunch of keys from his pocket and, with trembling hands, picked out the spare brass key.

This key was secretly kept by the bureau chief and made into a duplicate when the bureau changed the locks a few years ago.

Then, he carefully aimed at the keyhole, gently pushed it in, and turned it to the right.

"Click".

The door opened.

He slipped inside and locked the iron door tightly behind him.

He then walked to the window in the dark and pulled the heavy canvas curtains shut, not daring to leave even a crack.

Only after confirming that there was absolutely no light outside did he take a tin flashlight out of his pocket and turn it on.

A beam of golden light swept across the room and landed on the long table in the middle.

On the table, dozens of top-secret kraft paper bags were neatly stacked together, each stamped with the bright red wax seal of the Provincial Admissions Office.

This is what determines the fate of thousands of students in the county.

Wang Shouzhen swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

He threw his briefcase on the table, unzipped it, and inside were a series of fake documents that Chen Jianguo had instructed him to prepare in advance, as well as two forged, but stamped, blank transcripts.

The most important thing is actually the report card.

Chen Jianguo said that the other materials had already been prepared!

Next, Wang Shouzhen pulled out the cork stopper of the thermos, and scalding hot steam shot up from the mouth of the bottle.

Then, he found a large paper bag and pressed the edge of the seal against the top of the bottle opening.

In this way, the steam gradually softened the paste under the red stamp.

He held his breath, his fingernails pressed against the paper, and peeled it off with extreme care.

He'd worked in the admissions office for so many years, he was already very familiar with the job and his hands were very steady.

Three minutes later, the sealing wax was peeled off intact.

Wang Shouzhen reached into the bag and pulled out a thick stack of report cards and file cards.

Then, using the light of his flashlight, he flipped through the pages one by one, looking for Liu Guangming's information.

He knew exactly what he was doing, but he didn't care at all.

Even while searching, he was thinking about the good days to come.

After this job is done, Liu Guangming's credit will be transferred to Chen Defu. Chen Jianguo promised to give him a subsidized apartment in the family compound and also transfer his wife from the township to a state-owned factory in the city.

As he flipped through the pages, his fingertips suddenly stopped.

Before him, Liu Guangming's name appeared prominently on a form with black text on a white background.

Wang Shouzhen brought the flashlight closer.

Chen Jianguo had instructed that all they needed to do was take out Liu Guangming's transcript, replace it with the blank one, fill in Liu Guangming's name, then fill in Chen Fude's score, and change some other materials.

As for Liu Guangming's real achievement, the name was changed, the photo was posted, and the trick of "switching the prince for a cat" was successfully completed.

He glanced casually at the score column on the report card.

703.

Three Arabic numerals, black and white, are printed brightly on the paper.

703?

Wang Shouzhen thought his presbyopia was acting up.

He pressed the flashlight directly against the paper, zooming out to its smallest setting, making the three numbers appear starkly white and glaring.

Still 703 points!

this......

Wang Shouzhen was stunned.

Then, his hand trembled, and the flashlight fell onto the table, rolled to the edge, and the beam of light swayed wildly on the ceiling.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed solidly onto the cold, hard cement floor.

703 points!

He's been working at the county admissions office for almost all these years!

In the humanities, the highest score in Songyang County in recent years has only been around 580.

Let alone Songyang County, even in the entire Songjiang City, the highest number of liberal arts top scorers in the city over the years is only around 620 or 630!

Even the top provincial scorer in previous years only scored around 630 or 640!

What does 703 points mean?

Top scorer in the province for liberal arts!

He's definitely the top liberal arts student in the entire province!

Instantly, cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

As the director of the county's admissions office, he was well aware of the stakes involved.

In the past, Chen Jianguo would ask him to help change his records, to substitute for someone with a score of 300 or 400, so that he could go to a low-ranking vocational school or junior college in a remote area, or, if he was feeling bold, a university with a score of just over 500. That would have been fine.

After all, people from rural areas who have never seen the world often accept their fate and return to farming after being rejected.

But now he's the top scorer in the entire province!

Still this kind of score, breaking historical records!

The heads of the provincial education department must have had their eyes on this name for a long time.

According to past management practices, a special person would definitely be sent down to verify student records and investigate family backgrounds.

Meanwhile, reporters from provincial newspapers and television stations are probably on their way to Songyang County right now!

What kind of person is Chen Defu?

Why let that incompetent fool get that score?

That would be absolutely outrageous!

Wang Shouzhen suddenly shuddered, feeling a chill run through him from head to toe.

Actually, he couldn't understand how Liu Guangming, who usually scored over 500 points, could suddenly achieve such a score!

But it's okay if you can't figure it out.

Because there's no need to figure it out right now!

If Chen Jianguo's plan to replace the grades is indeed followed, this case will definitely be exposed.

As the director of the Education Bureau, Chen Jianguo would definitely try his best to shirk responsibility and absolve himself of all responsibility.

Who opened the secure room? Who moved the files?

When the time comes, as the executor, I will definitely be the first scapegoat to lose my head!

They switched the college entrance examination files of the top scorer in the province, disrupting the national talent selection ceremony!

Although the crackdown started in 83, which is many years ago, if this charge were to actually come against me, I might end up being shot at!

Housing built through collective fundraising?

If you're dead, what kind of house do you expect a ghost to live in?

In extreme fear, Wang Shouzhen scrambled to his feet.

He had only one thought in his mind: Stop! He absolutely couldn't do it!

He hurriedly grabbed Liu Guangming's report card and file card, gathered them together, and carefully stuffed them back into the brown paper bag at Chengguan Town No. 1 Middle School.

Fearing that messing up the order would expose his mistake, he checked it twice more.

Next, he took the glue, applied a thin layer of glue to the area where the seal had been removed, and then carefully pressed the sealing wax seal of the Provincial Admissions Office back on, pressing it flat.

After finishing all this, Wang Shouzhen pulled up his sleeve and wiped the places on the table where his hands had touched and where the thermos had been placed more than a dozen times, not daring to leave a single drop of water.

Then, Wang Shouzhen packed up the forgery tools he had brought, stuffed them haphazardly into his briefcase, picked up the thermos, turned off his flashlight, and quietly left the secure room, locking the iron door behind him.

As Wang Shouzhen descended the stairs, his legs were still wobbling, and he nearly slipped and tumbled down several times.

Once outside the Education Bureau compound, a gust of night wind made him realize that his shirt was completely soaked and clung tightly to his back.

However, instead of going home, he got on his bicycle and rode towards the county committee's residential compound.

Undoubtedly, this matter must be told to Chen Jianguo immediately!

This damned plan must be nipped in the bud!
