7: 7. Stable

“Nor would he know if this year's student council wouldn't complain about the difficulty being too high again…” In his dream, Lin Hengsheng chuckled.

He held a red pen, marking and drawing on the test papers. There were a total of eight papers, and he reviewed them from beginning to end.

He was very meticulous, even scrutinizing each step of the answering process. Even Lu Feng, with no prior knowledge, could understand it. Not to mention, he didn't even need to understand; he could just memorize everything, and then simply fill in the answers from memory when the time came.

Lu Feng watched intently, engraving everything into his mind whether he understood it or not, until Lin Hengsheng finished reviewing all the test papers, and the dream bubble burst.

Lu Feng opened his eyes; the sky outside had already brightened, and a new day had arrived.

But at this moment, he felt no drowsiness, as his consciousness had been in the dream space while his body was resting.

Lu Feng rolled out of bed, his mind filled with thoughts of the college entrance exam papers; this matter was too important.

Even though he now possessed the ability of “Dream Capture,” allowing him to explore people's deepest secrets and memories through dreams, his starting point was already different.

However, attending university had always been his parents' expectation, and Lu Feng didn't want to disappoint them. Of course... he was also very interested in university life.

Lu Feng went to the table, pulled out a pen and paper, and intended to write down the answers. But as the tip of the pen touched the paper, he stopped.

“No, within the sanatorium, all question setters are strictly guarded. Even the papers they've written on, the pens they've used, will all be uniformly transported away and shredded. Even the sewers will have protective nets installed. I absolutely cannot write it down; the risk is too great.”

He sat at the table, closed his eyes, and recalled. Starting from the first question of the Chinese language paper, all the questions from the test papers were clearly visible in his mind.

“It's a sure thing!”

Lu Feng opened his eyes, let out a sigh of relief, and grinned.

There was no longer any suspense for this college entrance exam; it was just a formality.

He curiously took out his phone to check the situation at the Bishui Sanatorium Resort and, sure enough, saw an official announcement on the website: “To further enhance the quality of Bishui Sanatorium Resort and provide visitors with an even more unforgettable travel experience, Bishui Sanatorium Resort will be temporarily closed to the public starting in March for necessary renovation and upgrades…”

Lu Feng smiled. If he had seen this news normally, he would have believed it, but who would have thought that a nationwide college entrance exam question-setting operation was underway inside?

“Thank you, Professor Lin Hengsheng!” Lu Feng cupped his hands in gratitude towards the direction of the resort.

Just as he was about to turn off his phone, a push notification suddenly popped up from the top: “Jiangcheng Foreman Murder Case Solved.”

Lu Feng quickly skimmed it. In the news, the clues released by the police were very clear: Li Qiang lost money gambling online, Zhang Biao withheld wages, conflict erupted leading to murder. There were no other suspicious points, a perfect closed loop.

The murderer, Li Qiang, had also been arrested by the police during his escape and confessed to his actions without reservation.

However, this incident still caused a huge stir, reaching trending topics and attracting widespread attention from netizens across the country. People were surprised that in today's society, there could still be cases of foremen maliciously withholding wages.

As the client, Donghai Group, collaborating with such a person, was inevitably affected, with its reputation declining. They also had several new housing developments to sell soon, and at this critical juncture, there was no room for error. Therefore, the new Chairwoman Xu Ting even flew from the capital to oversee the situation.

Seeing the new Chairman in the report, Lu Feng raised an eyebrow and casually searched for her information, discovering she was a woman around thirty years old, with several degrees from prestigious overseas universities, and had been parachuted in to take over the company.

“The breakthrough has arrived.”

Lu Feng brushed his teeth while narrowing his eyes in thought.

Afterward, he went out for breakfast, then slowly made his way to the construction site.

Today, people from Tiangong Construction were coming to settle wages, and Lu Feng was definitely going. This was his hard-earned money, and even a mosquito's leg was still meat.

Under the scorching sun, Lu Feng arrived at the construction site again. The usually bustling site had stopped work. The murder scene at the construction site entrance yesterday had also been cleaned with a high-pressure water gun, but a few drops of lingering bloodstains remained in the corner of the gate.

Inside the site, workers were idle, squatting on the ground, eagerly waiting.

Lu Feng stood behind the crowd watching. Not long after, an Audi stopped at the entrance, and a man and a woman got out. Lu Feng had seen the man yesterday; he was drinking in Zhang Biao's office and seemed to be named Manager Wang.

After the two arrived, the workers all scrambled to surround them, wanting to get their money first.

Manager Wang, surrounded by the smelly crowd, frowned, pinched his nose, and said with disgust, “Don’t come over, damn it, it stinks, get away.”

Scolded by him, the crowd dared not say anything, each one frozen in place, at a loss.

Seeing that he had intimidated this group of farm laborers, Manager Wang then said with a gloomy face, “This is the accountant. She has already tallied your wages. Everyone, line up here to collect your money.”

The process of collecting money went smoothly enough; after all, at this critical moment, they didn't dare to cause trouble. Everyone left happily after receiving their money. When it was Lu Feng's turn, Manager Wang was stunned, apparently not expecting him to show up.

It was infuriating, really. If this guy hadn't been hospitalized after being hit, Zhang Biao wouldn't have gone to the hospital. As long as he didn't leave the construction site, Li Qiang wouldn't have been able to act so smoothly. So, he harbored some resentment towards Lu Feng.

He couldn't help but mock, “What? Isn't this our ‘work-related injury hero’? I heard you almost died in the hospital yesterday. How come you couldn't wait to be discharged today when you saw the money?”

Lu Feng didn't respond. He looked at the payslip and the amount given by the accountant. There was five thousand yuan in wages, plus another five thousand yuan in work-related injury compensation. Although the compensation wasn't much, he had received it.

“I'm talking to you, did you hear me?!”

Being ignored by a mere kid made Manager Wang's anger flare up.

However, Lu Feng didn't even bother to lift an eyelid, saying indifferently, “What's all the fuss about? You won't be jumping around for much longer.”

“You, you damn...”

Manager Wang froze, stood up furiously, and raised his hand to strike.

Suddenly, a roar of an engine came from outside the construction site. Two black Mercedes simultaneously braked at the main entrance.

The driver quickly got out, respectfully opened the rear car door, and shortly after, a woman in a beige trench coat, accompanied by her secretary, stepped out.

She walked on high heels, surveying her surroundings, and her sharp aura instantly quieted the construction site.

Manager Wang's hand froze in mid-air, and he exclaimed in shock, “Chairman... Chairwoman Xu!?”

This was the new Chairman of Donghai Group, why had she come to the construction site?

Xu Ting's gaze swept over him and Lu Feng, finally resting on his raised hand, and she frowned, “And who are you? Are you trying to hit someone here?”
