“Chen Hai scored that well?” Liu Jian asked in disbelief, stunned.

When his father, Liu Dagui, handed him that ID card, he had already had a suspicion.

However, he found it somewhat hard to believe for a moment.

After all, as roommates, although he was not very familiar with Chen Hai, he knew a bit about his usual academic performance.

During the college entrance exam, he had boasted in front of Chen Hai, claiming that his family had connections that ensured his university admission, regardless of his own results.

In Wuyang Town Middle School, his father, Liu Dagui, had previously mentioned to him about replacing whoever performed well in the college entrance exam to attend university.

Even so, Liu Jian had never expected that the person he would replace would be Chen Hai.

“Jian, I heard that you and that Chen Hai were roommates?”

“Looking at you like this, you aren’t feeling guilty and sorry for Chen Hai, are you?”

Liu Jian’s surprise was fully noticed by Liu Dagui, who spoke earnestly.

“Dad, there’s only one bed in the dormitory, and I hardly spend a few nights there a month.”

“That Chen Hai, I just know him and have spoken a few words, I’m not really close to him at all.”

“Besides, even if I were close to him, what could that change?”

“Dad, don’t you always tell me that every man is for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him?

How could a little friendship between roommates be more important than my own future?”

After a brief moment of shock, Liu Jian’s expression quickly returned to normal.

He carefully put away the ID card and said to Liu Dagui with a smile.

Liu Jian knew very well how he had performed in his own exams.

Although his father had assured him that he would definitely go to university, he was still a bit nervous until the official news came through.

But now, after receiving this news from his father, his mood clearly improved, and he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, even humming a tune cheerfully.

“My foolish son, you’re teachable!”

Liu Dagui, who had always taught his son that a person destined for great things should not bother with trifles and must be ruthless when necessary, was not only untroubled by seeing Liu Jian like this but even smiled proudly.

“Jian, this Chen Hai whose place you’re taking, is someone I picked out from a few good candidates in Wuyang Town Middle School after much deliberation!”

“He usually scores at the bottom, and whether it was cheating or a sudden burst, no one would believe how he scored.”

“Furthermore, he is just a country bumpkin from a village below, whose family has been poor for generations and has no connections at all.”

“Replacing him and taking his university spot, there’s unlikely to be any repercussions.”

“You need to think ahead about the volunteer application process, with a score of 576, there are quite a few good universities you can choose from.”

“However, I suggest you apply to universities in either Capital City or Shanghai.

Once you decide which university you want, just tell me, and I’ll have your school principal complete the application for you!”

“Although your residence registration has been transferred to Chenjiaping, the admission notice will definitely be sent directly to my office!”

“I’ve thought through everything for you, you can trust your old man to handle things!”

…

Looking at his son Liu Jian with affection, Liu Dagui laid out the plan unhurriedly.

Similar incidents were not new to him.

Two years ago, his older brother’s daughter, his niece, had also entered a university in Shanghai through the same method.

Four years into college, most of which had passed, his niece had already switched back to her original name and household registration, yet no trouble had arisen.

“Going to Capital City or Shanghai for university?

Hmm, Dad, I’ll consider it!”

Liu Jian nodded and agreed.

He was a person who liked to venture into big cities, which is why he didn’t just stay in Wuyang Town and found himself in the county town.

His father Liu Dagui’s suggestion, indeed, exactly matched his own desires.

“Jian, take your time to think it over, I have other matters to attend to, I’ll head back to Wuyang Town first!”

After staying for a while and giving Liu Jian a few more instructions, Liu Dagui, with his briefcase, hurriedly walked out of the villa.

…

Garden Hotel, Room 8615.

After brewing a pot of hot tea for himself and Sun Jinzhong, each poured a cup before Chen Hai took a seat on a chair beside them.

“Brother Zhong, could you perhaps not carry that Wang Ba Box around with you all the time, unless necessary?”

Chen Hai looked at Sun Jinzhong disapprovingly and advised.

“Relax, cousin, it’s just a gun, nothing’s going to happen!”

“These past two years on the streets, I’ve seen plenty of situations where people like me carry sprayers!”

“Nowadays, times are not peaceful.

I mean, just take our Yanbei Village, when night falls, no villain dares to come in.

What are they afraid of?

They’re afraid of getting robbed!”

“If you’re carrying that much money on you, and I don’t have some self-defense items on me, I just don’t feel secure!”

After a chuckle, Sun Jinzhong added, “When we were at Li Tao’s place in Group Six, those Lis saw the grip of my gun peeking out, and their faces turned white with fear!”

“How’s that?

Looks impressive, doesn’t your cousin?”

“I’m telling you, those Li brothers are no good either; they often act like bandits on the roads at night.”

“In front of Boss Li, they might not dare to do anything, but without me around, with you carrying these five thousand yuan, forget about leaving the village peacefully!”

While speaking, Sun Jinzhong patted his bulging waist, boasting.

“Alright, alright, you’re tough, I can’t argue with you, just be careful when you carry the gun!”

Chen Hai muttered silently, feeling speechless.

Indeed, the times were not secure, and what Sun Jinzhong had said was indeed the reality.

Taking the five thousand yuan he received from Li Dajiang, Chen Hai counted out one thousand and handed it to Sun Jinzhong: “As agreed, here’s your share of one thousand, take it.”

“You’ve said before, once you have money, buy a television for your home.”

“My suggestion is, don’t go back tonight, just stay here, and tomorrow morning, we can go to the electronics store together!”

“If the price is right, I’d like to buy a television for my parents too!”

Chen Hai himself had long been coveting a television.

Unfortunately, such a device was too expensive, and his family simply couldn’t afford one.

Just yesterday, when Sun Jinzhong proposed buying a television, Chen Hai himself had taken quite an interest in the idea.
