Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

The two chatted leisurely for a while, their topics being nothing more than trivial and interesting things that happened at school. Just as they were about to turn around and go back to their respective residences, Huang Xu suddenly stopped in his tracks as if he had been frozen in place.

His expression instantly became somewhat awkward, like a child who had done something wrong, his hesitation was particularly obvious, as if some crucial words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get them out no matter how hard he tried.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again, his eyes flickering and he dared not look Gao Jie in the eye.

This appearance filled Gao Jie with doubt. He stopped and frowned slightly, looking at Huang Xu with a strange look in his eyes, as if he were examining a mystery.

"Speak up if you have something to say, look at you, you look like a maggot!"

Gao Jie frowned and teased, trying to break the awkward silence with this slightly joking remark, while also urging Huang Xu to stop dawdling and quickly say what he had been holding back.

Huang Xu was taken aback by the sudden teasing. He awkwardly scratched his face, his fingers moving haphazardly across his cheeks. His movements were rather clumsy, and his face flushed slightly, like a ripe apple.

"I'm serious, I recently heard that Jinling Buddhist Vocational College has made all the preparations. If we don't take action soon, everything will be terrible, do you understand?"

As he spoke, he looked up, his eyes revealing obvious worry. His speech quickened unconsciously, the words coming out of his mouth like a machine gun, as if he wanted to urgently convey this serious news to Gao Jie so that he would also realize the urgency of the matter.

"In other words, we don't even know their basic information. What if they've already obtained our data?"

As Huang Xu spoke, he nervously rubbed his hands together, the movements becoming increasingly rapid. His brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep "川" (river) shape, and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead, shimmering faintly under the streetlights, revealing the extent of his anxiety.

Gao Jie looked puzzled. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes filled with doubt, and his brows furrowed, forming a shallow "eight".

"What exactly do you mean, kid? I feel like you're implying something. Explain yourself clearly, what exactly do you mean?"

His voice carried a hint of urgency, and he had a vague feeling that what Huang Xu was about to say was no small matter, and might even involve the important competition they were about to face. So he was eager to know what Huang Xu was really up to.

Huang Xu looked around warily, his eyes like those of a frightened little rabbit. He cautiously turned his head, first glancing at the path to the left, then quickly turning his head to look at the bushes to the right. After confirming that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice slightly, leaned forward, almost touching Gao Jie, and leaned in to talk to him.

His voice was deep and mysterious, as if it were squeezed from the depths of his throat, or as if he were sharing a shocking secret that could never be known to others; every word carried a mysterious air.

"I've heard that things aren't looking good right now, and they've probably already made all the preparations. It's very likely that they've set a trap for our principal, you understand?"

A hint of unease and doubt flickered in Huang Xu's eyes. His gaze was fixed on Gao Jie as if it were a physical presence, as if he wanted to convey his inner worries to him through his eyes, or as if he was waiting for Gao Jie to give him a reassuring response.

"What if this is a trap set for our principal, and he falls for it?"

Huang Xu continued, his brows furrowing even more deeply, almost forming a knot. The worry on his face became increasingly apparent, like a heavy dark cloud looming over him, instantly making the previously relaxed atmosphere oppressive.

"And I heard they've had information about our school for a while now. If we just sit here and wait to die, we're really doomed..."

His voice trembled slightly, the subtle tremor revealing the fear and unease deep within him. Every word seemed to carry a chill, making the listener's heart skip a beat.

Gao Jie's expression turned somewhat grim. His lips pursed slightly, forming a tight straight line, and his gaze became increasingly solemn, like a deep pool of water, unfathomable yet exuding a seriousness that commanded respect.

If that's the case, then everything will probably be terrible!

His mind was like a high-speed machine, rapidly considering all possible consequences. Those terrible scenarios flashed before his eyes like slides, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart, as if a storm was about to break and they had not yet found a safe haven to hide in.

But this guy clearly already has an idea, so why doesn't he say a word?

Gao Jie pondered to himself, his gaze sweeping back and forth across Huang Xu's face, his eyes sharp as two small knives, trying to find the answer hidden behind his expression and see through his true intentions.

Seeing his expression, Gao Jie smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of understanding and confidence, as if he had already seen through Huang Xu's thoughts. The slight upward curve of his lips seemed to silently convey his insight.

"Tell me the truth, what exactly do you mean? Something doesn't seem right with you."

Gao Jie's voice was calm and steady, like a deep pool of water, seemingly undisturbed on the surface, but containing an undeniable power.

He crossed his arms, leaned back slightly, and waited quietly for Huang Xu's answer, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry and expectation, as if to say:

"I'd like to see what you're really up to."

Huang Xu was cautious, his eyes filled with hesitation and struggle, like a pedestrian standing at a crossroads, unsure which way to go.

He gritted his teeth for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, but then he looked troubled, as if he was worried about something.

"You're absolutely right. I've already thought it through. It won't be difficult for us to make a move. The most important thing is to get things done as quickly as possible, understand?"

Although his voice was still deep, it carried a new firmness and determination, as if he had broken through the shackles of hesitation in his heart and made a do-or-die decision. Every word he spoke was powerful and resounding.

"Let's go for a stroll right now. I heard that the security at Jinling Buddhist Vocational College is particularly weak. Maybe we can get their list."

Huang Xu lowered his voice, a hint of adventurous excitement flashing in his eyes. He felt this was a rare opportunity. If they could get the other party's list, they could take the initiative in the upcoming competition and reverse their current unfavorable situation.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jie wavered slightly. His brows furrowed, and it felt as if two little people were fighting inside him.

On the one hand, he knew that doing so was against the rules and the consequences would be unimaginable if he were discovered; on the other hand, if it was true, as Huang Xu said, that he could use this to understand the other party's situation, it would indeed be of great help to their school and the upcoming competition.

But is this really the right thing to do? He kept asking himself this question, and for a moment he was caught in a dilemma.

But the kid kept urging him on, and Huang Xu looked as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth around Gao Jie, muttering to himself:

"Oh, don't hesitate any longer! If you hesitate any longer, it'll be too late! I've already checked everything, there's absolutely no problem. This is a rare opportunity, you'll miss it if you don't take it now!"

He assured Gao Jie that there would be absolutely no problem with the matter and urged him to act quickly and go with him.

Gao Jie hesitated, but the guy kept urging him on, and the noisy voice was like a tight band around his ears, leaving Gao Jie with no choice. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and simply followed along.

He thought to himself, "This is the only time. As long as I'm careful, nothing should go wrong."

Gao Jie was indeed quite fast. Once he made up his mind, he was like an arrow released from a bow, getting things done at almost the fastest speed.

His steps were light and swift, weaving through the streets and alleys under the cover of night, his agile figure seemingly blending into the darkness.

It has to be said that Gao Jie is now capable of doing far more than people imagine.

He usually keeps a low profile, but when it really comes down to it, his quick wit and decisive action really come through.

The two of them quietly slipped away to Jinling Buddhist Vocational College. At this time, the college was shrouded in a quiet night, with only a few streetlights emitting a dim yellow light, barely illuminating a small area around it.

The two of them moved with extreme caution, lifting and placing each step lightly, afraid of making the slightest sound. Their careful demeanor resembled that of two little mice stealing oil, constantly alert to their surroundings to avoid being discovered.

They tried to get as close as possible to the faculty apartment area, their target location. Their eyes were filled with tension and anticipation, and their hearts were pounding in their chests as if they were about to burst out.

Seeing that no one had noticed, the two quietly slipped inside, cautiously approached, and found the principal's office. Surprisingly, they easily found their files in the drawer.

"No way, this school principal is such a bastard! How does he know so much and even sent people to investigate us? Don't you think he's a psychopath?"

"Look, he even knows what colors we like! Where did this guy get that information?"

Huang Xu grew angrier the more he thought about it, and even wished he could kill him right now.

Gao Jie, however, was now very clear-headed and stopped him.

"What are you doing acting so crazy? Let me tell you, now is not the time to rush. Hurry up and do what you need to do, and let's get out of here as soon as possible. Wasting time in this place won't do any good."

"In short, we should get to what we need to do as quickly as possible and not waste any time."

Hearing Gao Jie say this, he looked somewhat unwilling, but Gao Jie had already taken action.

Gao Jie was well aware that he had crossed out two important options and changed them to something else.

For Gao Jie, the other party must have had this information for a long time, so why hadn't they looked at it?

That means the other principal hasn't realized the problem yet.

That means the information can still be changed; at least the other party hasn't realized it has been altered yet.

After making the changes, Gao Jie restored everything and slowly put it back. But at that moment, he discovered that Huang Xu was gone.

"Damn it, this is someone else's school! What are you doing running around like that?"

Gao Jie watched Huang Xu running around like a headless fly in Jinling Buddhist Vocational College and couldn't help but scold him in a low voice.

Huang Xu waved frantically at him, his gestures hurried and exaggerated. Gao Jie walked over, puzzled.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion, and he wondered to himself what Huang Xu was up to.

But at that moment, the two of them inexplicably discovered that there was a bedroom behind the other door.

The door was half-open, leaving only a narrow crack, like a window that fate had deliberately opened for them to peek through.

Looking through the gap, you could see a man and a woman being intimate.

The ambiguous scene made Gao Jie blush instantly, his heart suddenly raced, and he stood there dumbfounded, somewhat at a loss.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Let's go."

Gao Jie hurriedly turned his head and urged Huang Xu in a low voice to leave this awkward and troublesome place as soon as possible.

Huang Xu stopped Gao Jie, his eyes flashing with a hint of cunning and excitement, like an explorer who had discovered a treasure.

"Where are we going? This is a great opportunity. If we don't take a look, we'll be wasting our time. Let me tell you, that woman is Guo Lan'er, the fourth-level expert in charge of this exam."

His voice was very low, but it couldn't hide his excitement, as if he were telling a shocking secret.

"They've gotten together now, it's obvious they're targeting us in the competition. Do you really think they're in love?"

Huang Xu raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery and disdain.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jie was also filled with disbelief. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and his face was full of shock.

And judging from the tone, it didn't seem to be a lie. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he realized the seriousness of the matter.

So he stopped stopping her, and Huang Xu quietly took out his phone and started recording.

He moved with extreme caution, as if he were conducting a dangerous spy operation, his fingers trembling slightly, afraid of making the slightest sound and attracting the attention of the people inside.

Guo Lan'er wrapped her arms around the other person's arm, a charming smile on her face, her voice soft yet laced with calculation.

"Kang Hao, let me tell you, this time they've already made preparations. I can't help you recklessly anymore, otherwise people will definitely say I'm showing favoritism. What are you going to do then?"

Kang Hao smiled, his smile carrying a hint of confidence and arrogance.

"Aren't you showing favoritism now? Let me tell you, if you help me this time, I'll be at your beck and call from now on. You can easily get me to do anything for you, okay?"

He gently patted Guo Lan'er's hand, his eyes full of flattery and promise.

"Anyway, I want to get this done now and absolutely not let anyone else interfere, what do you say?"

After hesitating for a moment, Guo Lan'er placed her finger on his face and gently stroked it, her eyes filled with a hint of temptation and probing.

"Then it depends on your performance today, okay?"

Gao Jie couldn't listen any longer. He felt uneasy about the private and scheming conversation, as if he were peering into a dark abyss.

He walked to the side, preferring to look outside rather than inside.

The night outside was deep and quiet, with occasional breezes rustling the leaves, but these could not mask the nauseating sounds of transactions inside.

Guo Lan'er also expressed her opinion.

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem with this. Davira doesn't even know how to get on my good side, so I'm sure I can help you with this."

Her voice carried a hint of smugness and arrogance, as if everything was under her control.

"Besides, I've given you all the information. How could you possibly lose? You just need to send out students specifically designed to counter them, and victory will be yours for the taking. Don't overthink it. I'm a judge this time too; who can stop me?"

"But let me tell you, the 200 million you gave me last time isn't enough. I still need to pull some strings for you, understand?"

Guo Lan'er pouted slightly, as if she were being coquettish, but her words were full of greed.

Kang Hao smiled, but there was no hint of dissatisfaction in his smile; instead, it carried a flattering tone.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you to get the money. You can take as much as you want, okay?"

The tone was so relaxed, as if they were talking about a trivial matter, rather than a shady deal in a contest of fairness and justice.
