Chapter 196: Chapter 35_5

But this ladder of rules was designed only for ordinary people; for true geniuses, it was nothing at all.

In times of peace, if they wanted to rise, they could, and there were many ways beyond the envy of ordinary people."

"You’re right, that’s certainly the case."

"But this is actually quite good, I was worried he would leave after the summer vacation ended, but now it seems he’ll stay for a while longer."

"Does Xiao Yuan have any thoughts on Alii’s illness?"

"He said he has a way, but he needs to read up on it."

"What kind of method is this?"

"*Let’s wait and see, we’re old, and we can’t understand the young people’s affairs anymore.*"

...

The next morning, when Li Zhiyuan woke up, he habitually turned his head to look. There was still no one on the chair by the door.

"Sigh..."

After getting up and freshening up, Li Zhiyuan read a book outside for a while. When he went down for breakfast, Alii was still not there.

After eating, Li Zhiyuan pulled Run Sheng along to continue playing the card game they played last night, with wins and losses balanced out nicely.

This way, he finally felt at ease and could go out.

...

"Captain Tan, good morning."

"Morning, Captain Tan."

"Hmm, good morning to you all."

Tan Yunlong, dressed in casual clothes, rode his motorcycle into the station, greeting the colleagues he passed by.

It wasn’t actually early anymore, it was already morning. He had taken leave to arrive late because earlier that morning, he had gone to his son’s school to see the teacher.

During the summer vacation, students who were originally in the second semester of high school had a very short break before starting class in the third year. His son had gotten into a fight off-campus last night, causing quite a commotion and almost sparking a group fight.

However, he didn’t blame his son because his son had been protecting a bullied classmate.

Tan Yunlong was always very open-minded about his son’s studies; if his grades weren’t the best, then so be it. If he didn’t get into a good university via the college entrance examination, that was fine too, as long as he maintained a good character and values.

This was also why, when he transferred jobs, he insisted on transferring his son to a school near his workplace even at the cost of arguing with his wife—he needed to keep an eye on the boy.

As a policeman who had worked for a long time, he had seen too many kinds of evil in the world. He understood that without guiding his son’s character properly, no amount of education would matter.

Entering the office building, he continued to cheerfully greet colleagues he met along the way. Although the jurisdiction had seen some serious incidents, they had been solved quickly, earning him a commendation.

Even the station chief hinted that he should take advantage of the opportunity to move around, as he still had old connections and achieving merits would smoothly allow him to transfer back. But Tan Yunlong made no such move, feeling quite content at the township police station.

Opening the door to his office, Tan Yunlong paused for a moment and then smiled as he closed the door behind him.

He picked up the kettle, made a cup of tea, and handed it to the boy in front of him.

The boy took out something wrapped in newspaper from beside his feet and opened it in front of him—it was a trowel.

All artifacts unearthed belong to the state; privately taking them is illegal. Moreover, their fences often sell internationally, so it should be reported promptly.

After listening to the boy’s concise explanation, Tan Yunlong first left the office to arrange for people to monitor the hospital ward, then came back, closed the door, and sat down again, noticing that Li Zhiyuan was holding the teacup, sipping several times without putting it down.

"Seems like, this time you have something to ask me for help with."

"Yes, Uncle Tan, I’d like to ask you to help me arrange admission. This is my file."

Tan Yunlong looked through the documents and asked in confusion, "What kind of operation is this?"

"I want to go to school."

"Alright, I’ll help you contact the town’s elementary school. What grade were you in before?" Holding the academic records, Tan Yunlong scrutinized them carefully. "Is the Youth Class primary school? This university name, tsk tsk. Did you previously attend the affiliated elementary school of this university?"

"I want to skip grades."

"Skipping to sixth grade? I know the educational resources in Beijing are good, but the competition here among students is also quite fierce. Just talking about exam ability, Beijing’s may not necessarily be better than here."

"Twelfth grade."

"Hmm, twelfth grade...what?" Tan Yunlong looked up, staring at the boy. "Are you sure you’re not joking?"

"Uncle Tan, just help me go through the process of skipping, and I’ll handle the exams and tests myself."

Li Zhiyuan knew that many places had policies for skipping grades, and many of his classmates back then had moved up this way.

"Is it true?" asked a now-interested Tan Yunlong. "From the way you speak, you might as well be preparing for the college entrance exam now if it weren’t already over."

"No, I still want to stay here a while longer, I can’t bear to leave."

"Alright, I can help you, but to avoid embarrassing myself, you’ll have to come to my house for dinner tonight. My son is about to enter his senior year of high school too."

"Tonight isn’t possible, but any of the next few days will work."

Seeing the boy so calm and collected, Tan Yunlong couldn’t help but believe him, and asked, "Are you one of those prodigy children?"

Li Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, feeling that a more fitting description for himself might be a sick child.

"Then why did you go do that?" Tan Yunlong waved his hand, referring to Corpse Recovery.

This time, Li Zhiyuan’s answer was firm:

"For fun, it’s interesting."

"If you really are that kind of person, you should focus on studying and serving the country well."

"*I am doing it though.*"

"I didn’t mean it that way. Alright then, tomorrow night, I’ll come pick you up at your place. I remember where you live."

"Okay." Li Zhiyuan stood up, bowed to Tan Yunlong, and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

Tan Yunlong also stood up and walked over to the boy, patting him on the head. "It’s Uncle who should thank you."

Before noon, Li Zhiyuan had already returned home on Run Sheng’s tricycle.
