Chapter 794 - Who Told You That Wed Be Returning To The Capital Later?

  Early the next morning, in the Elders’ Association’s Council House.

  The bald man knocked on the door to Huo Zhi’s office twice and walked in. “Sir, I just heard that Ms. Gu’s competition results weren’t…… very good.”


  He phrased it in a rather indirect manner.

  Such trivial matters usually never reached Huo Zhi’s ears at all. But since Gu Mang was there, Huo Zhi made his subordinate pay some attention to what was happening.

  Huo Zhi stopped in the middle of signing something and he looked up. “Will her grades ever be bad?”


  His impression of Gu Mang was that there is nothing that she could not do. It was all up to whether or not she cared to do them.

  However, Gu Mang did not know how to hide her talent and was used to doing things obnoxiously. That made her suffer losses easily.

  But now……

  Huo Zhi realized that he was thinking too much and he put away his thoughts. He knew that Leng Xuan had purposely added Gu Mang’s name onto Capital University’s roster just before the competition.

  But it shouldn’t have mattered to Gu Mang.

  The bald man answered, “I have already asked Tang Er. Ms. Gu ranked last, 59. The information is verified.”


  When Huo Zhi heard this, he furrowed his eyebrows. This did not sound like Gu Mang at all. Since Leng Xuan could actually tamper with the participants’ name list regardless of her status, she was capable of doing other things as well.

  He just wished that Leng Xuan had not sought death over such a trivial matter.

  He thought for a while and said, “Keep watching what’s going on at the Academic Center.”


  The bald man answered, “Yes.”
……

  At the hotel.

  Yang Tianming, Professor Xue, and a group of students finished their breakfast. Then, they brought out their luggage from their rooms and placed them on the porch. Gu Mang came out with only her black backpack. She did not have any of her luggage packed.

  Yang Tianming asked, “Gu Mang, did you not pack up?”


  Gu Mang stopped typing on her phone and she looked up politely to respond. “Yeah.”


  “You didn’t pack up? Are you going to make all of us wait for you when we return to the capital again?” Qiao You was livid when she saw how calm and relaxed Gu Mang looked.

  She was clearly the one who caused the team to be eliminated so early. Everyone was in a bad mood and yet she was acting as if nothing had happened.

  Qiao You glared at Gu Mang. Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger.

  Gu Mang smirked. “Who told you that we’d be returning to the capital later?”


  Her exquisite eyebrows were wicked and wild.

  Qiao You scoffed. “What? Do you think we’ll beat Imperial College’s team by some miracle?”


  Shen Qianzi looked at Gu Mang. There was a flash of mockery in her eyes.

  Master Bi had already told Shen Qianzi everyone’s individual scores as well as the university’s average score.

  It was the first time that Capital University had been eliminated in the written test round in the competition’s history.

  All thanks to Gu Mang*.*……

  At the Academic Center.

  It was 8.50am.

  In accordance with yesterday’s drawings, each pair of teams that would face off in the debate sat across from each other.

  International competitions paid great attention to etiquette. Therefore, there was a ceremony during the announcement of the competition results where the winning team and the losing team would shake hands.

  The professor from Imperial College sat beside Professor Yang Tianming.

  The competition between the students did not cause any conflict between the two equally successful schools.

  The professors from the two schools conversed about academic issues in fluent English.

  Gu Mang was texting Lu Chengzhou on the phone. [Have you prepared all the evidence?]

  On the other end, Lu Chengzhou leaned on his sofa lazily with a lollipop in hand.

  He smiled and typed with one hand as he replied, [Done. Once you give the order, I will take action.”


  Gu Mang narrowed her eyes.

  At 9am.

  The MC, who was dressed in a formal professional suit, came on stage and smiled. “Good morning, everyone. I believe that all of you are really nervous about the upcoming release of results. Without further ado, let’s look at the scores of each team.”


  Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall got tense.
