21: This is just a regular high school graduation ceremony! You brought an armed helicopter?!
Suddenly, a large group of people appeared at the entrance of the playground.
These people were generally quite old.
Some wore thick glasses and had bellies that protruded like pregnant women.
They were running toward the podium.
What was going on?
Principal Huang was a bit bewildered.
Who were these people?
Where was the security? Why weren't the school's security guards stopping them?
Principal Huang was just about to call for security.
Suddenly, he noticed that the elderly man running at the very front seemed somewhat familiar.
If not for the man's signature balding head and thick-lensed glasses...
Principal Huang would have hardly been certain.
He quickly pressed down on the microphone and looked at the bored Section Chief Zheng beside him.
"Section Chief Zheng!"
"Section Chief Zheng! Look, quickly!"
"Who are those people running across the playground?"
"Who?" Section Chief Zheng lifted his eyelids.
"I don't believe it. Could someone actually be coming to this Third High School of yours?"
"The Minister of our Ministry of Education?"
Section Chief Zheng looked at the people running across the playground.
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure.
"That..."
"Damn!"
"Holy crap!"
"Shit!"
Section Chief Zheng rubbed his eyes!
"It really is the Minister of our Yang City Ministry of Education!!!!!"
"Minister Jin!!!"
"Why did he come to Third High School?!!!"
But Section Chief Zheng's confusion was not yet answered!
Principal Huang's voice rang out again, trembling.
"Old Zheng, look closely."
"Is that person running at the very front the President of our Dragon Kingdom's Kyoto University????"
Section Chief Zheng's gaze moved away from Minister Jin.
Then he saw that familiar figure.
If that person didn't often appear on TV to give speeches...
He wouldn't have dared to confirm it himself. After all, at Section Chief Zheng's level...
Compared to the President of Kyoto University, he wouldn't even have the chance to step forward to shake hands or pour tea.
Now, the President of Kyoto University had come in person!!!
What was he doing at the tiny Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School?
And he was the one running the fastest, wiping sweat from his forehead as he ran.
Section Chief Zheng's shock was far from over.
Because he spotted an even more familiar person.
"Principal Huang!!!" he shouted.
"Is the one running second the President of Qingbei University!!???"
"Please, take a look!"
"I'm afraid I've misidentified him!"
Principal Huang's eyes widened like copper bells.
"It's him!"
"It's the President of our Dragon Kingdom's Qingbei University!"
Then, the two of them began calling out names as if reciting family treasures.
"Holy crap!"
"That's the President of the Dragon Kingdom University of Science and Technology!"
"Damn! The one behind him is the President of Fudan University!"
"Shit! The President of Wunan Jiaotong University!"
The other school leaders on the stage were stunned because the Principal and Section Chief Zheng were incessantly swearing.
It was a rare sight in their lives!
But what shocked them even more were the names coming out of the Principal's and Section Chief Zheng's mouths.
They were all prestigious universities in the Dragon Kingdom.
The top ten.
The presidents of these universities, running to our tiny Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School on the same day and at the same time.
What exactly was their purpose?
Our Third High School doesn't have a single student who got into these universities this year.
Even though Principal Huang moved away from the microphone when he spoke...
His conversation with Section Chief Zheng still reached the ears of the parents below the stage.
What???
The presidents of the top ten universities in the Dragon Kingdom have come to our school in person???
Almost all the parents and students on the playground stood up.
They didn't know what the situation was.
Everyone looked blankly at the university presidents running toward them.
These presidents, who enjoyed reputations at world-class universities...
Lacked exercise and were now running out of breath.
Minister Jin of the Yang City Ministry of Education still had the best physical stamina.
He was the first to reach the podium.
He completely ignored Section Chief Zheng, who approached him with a beaming smile.
He also ignored Principal Huang, who stood there in a daze.
Instead, he grabbed the microphone standing on the ground.
Without stopping to catch his breath...
He shouted a name!
Lu Feng!
"Is Lu Feng here?"
"Who?" Principal Huang looked bewildered. "I've never heard that name before."
"Is he a student at our Third High School?"
The five or six thousand people below, including students and parents, looked around blankly.
Wondering if someone would suddenly stand up beside them...
And say they were Lu Feng.
Thereby solving the mystery.
Minister Jin shouted several times in a row.
Below the stage, Lu Jianguo looked at Zhao Lan.
"What's up with that kid Lu Feng?"
"Didn't he agree to come?"
"Look, people up there are looking for him!"
"Yeah!" Zhao Lan was also a bit anxious.
They didn't recognize the people on stage and only thought they had something to discuss with Lu Feng.
"This child, ever since he mentioned that research stuff..."
"We haven't been able to reach him. He either says it's confidential or that he can't talk about it."
"I just called him, and he didn't pick up again!"
Seeing Minister Jin's anxious expression, Principal Huang shouted down to the crowd:
"Teachers from every class, check if you have a student named Lu Feng in your class."
Zhu Shiyong hesitated for a moment and finally raised his hand.
"Principal Huang, there is a Lu Feng in our Class 5, Grade 12."
"But he hasn't arrived yet."
"However, his parents are here."
Zhu Shiyong pointed to Lu Jianguo and Zhao Lan behind him.
As Zhu Shiyong finished speaking...
The group of university presidents from before began pushing through the crowd and rushing over.
Shouting loudly as they charged.
"Where are they?"
"Where are Lu Feng's parents?"
Meanwhile, the five members of the Poison Fang Unit hidden in the crowd...
Also began moving toward them quickly.
No matter who the other party was...
Ensuring the safety of Lu Jianguo and Zhao Lan was their top priority.
So, when the President of Kyoto University grabbed Zhao Lan's hand...
He thought he was just holding the hand of Lu Feng's mother.
He didn't know that his forehead had appeared in the large scope of a sniper rifle 800 meters away.
When the President of Qingbei University grabbed Lu Jianguo's hand...
What he didn't know was that someone beside Lu Jianguo had already locked onto him.
If he made even the slightest suspicious move...
That person could take his life in an instant.
"Hello!"
"I am the President of Kyoto University. This is my business card."
"Please, your son Lu Feng must enroll in our Kyoto University."
"No!" The President of Qingbei University beside him grabbed Lu Jianguo's arm.
"He must attend our Qingbei University."
Zhao Lan was dumbfounded.
What was this situation?
Why were so many schools suddenly fighting over her son?
Bound by a confidentiality agreement...
The couple still didn't know what their son was doing.
And they had only come to the school because they heard their son was attending the graduation ceremony.
That was why they came.
They didn't expect that instead of their son...
A bunch of presidents from the Dragon Kingdom's top-tier universities would show up.
All the parents at Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School were stunned.
They watched the scene with looks of utter astonishment.
They all turned their gazes toward their shocked children.
"Who is Lu Feng?"
"Did he get a perfect score on the college entrance exam?"
"Why would the presidents of these universities come to the school in person to fight over him?"
Actually, Principal Huang wanted to ask the same question.
Section Chief Zheng beside him also wanted to ask.
And what they wanted to ask even more was...
Where is Lu Feng??
Just at that moment...
A sound like muffled thunder suddenly came from not far away.
Rumble, rumble!
Rumble, rumble!
As the sound drew closer...
Everyone looked up.
Holy crap!
This was the simultaneous thought in everyone's mind.
Because a massive attack helicopter was flying toward them.
The thunderous sound was coming from this attack helicopter!!!!
