Chapter 16: Chapter 13 Clues from the Sheriff



"Once you enter high school and maintain excellent grades—"

"The group will take full responsibility to help you compete for resources and select a future career based on your strengths."

"Of course, when you've improved until you can no longer do so, you will return to work for the group, and the treatment will be the most generous."

"Think it over."

Shen Ye responded immediately:

"I accept the invitation."

At that moment, he completely understood the rules of this world.

Strength is supreme.

If you're not strong enough and you get beaten up, you deserve it; at most, you'll get compensated by the law, but your whole life is ruined.

After all, this world honors the powerful.

In cultural classes, teachers emphasize one thing every time—

Humanity must rely on the strong for civilization to continue to exist!

"Won't you reconsider? In fact, I estimate other organizations will soon come sniffing around for you," Qian Rushan said honestly.

"You're the first to come to me, and you helped me out of a tight spot; I'm willing to join you," Shen Ye said.

Qian Rushan was even more pleased, and immediately said:

"Good, I'll draft the contract right now—oh, could you punch me once?"

Shen Ye understood and swung a punch with 5.2 Strength.

Smack.

Qian Rushan stretched out his hand and firmly blocked the fist, saying happily:

"The Strength is indeed 5, no, more than 5, hahaha!"

He pulled out a tablet, quickly brought up a document, signed his name, and then handed it to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye also signed the contract and pressed his fingerprint.

Qian Rushan said, "Because you're still a minor, I now need to get your guardians' signatures."

"You can go to my parents," Shen Ye said.

"Are they available?" Qian Rushan asked.

"They'll be thrilled, but I hope you go as soon as possible because if any other organizations come looking for me, it will be troublesome," Shen Ye said.

Qian Rushan immediately realized that he needed to race against time.

Otherwise, if groups like the Zhilie Equipment Research Institute or the Eternal Science and Technology Union convinced Shen Ye's parents before he did, that would indeed be a hassle.

He quickly clicked on the tablet, brought up the work units, phone numbers, and addresses of Father Shen and Mother Shen, glanced at them for a moment, then closed the tablet and stood up.

"I'll come back to you after getting the signatures," Qian Rushan said.

He shook hands with Shen Ye, smiled warmly, and walked out.

Qian Rushan exited the room, closed the door, and then—

Boom!

He turned into a blur, speeding through the campus with a piercing whistling in the air.

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.

He was indeed racing against time!

No sooner had he left when the principal and the headteacher immediately entered the room.

"Classmate Shen? Was that just—" the principal asked.

"President Qian has gone to talk to my parents about the contract," Shen Ye said frankly.

"Hahaha! That's wonderful! This is sure to create a sensation throughout the city," the principal said joyfully.

Shen Ye stood up and said to Teacher Jiang, "Teacher, the deal is not final yet; I hope you won't talk about it. I don't want any complications."

"Hmm, being cautious is right, but once your contract is completely final, the school will publicize it," Teacher Jiang said.

"That's fine," Shen Ye said.

Jiang Hantao smiled, his crow's feet crinkling together.

In the whole world, those who could join one of the top three organizations at this age are truly the chosen ones.

Moreover, Shen Ye was now guaranteed a spot in a key high school.

This was an honor for the school!

"I'm taking leave this afternoon to go home; I won't be at school to study,"

Shen Ye said.

"Of course, you should go and see your parents," Jiang Hantao said.

"Hurry on back, the sooner the better," the principal said.

"Then I'm off."

Shen Ye pushed the door open and left.

He walked out of the office, down the stairs, across the sports field, and headed towards the school gate.

The students looked on silently at this scene.

"We're just letting him go?"

Above the girls' dormitory, Zhao Yibing stared in a daze at that retreating figure.

Around her, several girls were all puzzled.

"Aren't the teachers going to stop him?"

"He was the one who hit someone; why didn't they catch him?"

"Look quickly, those policemen have already gotten into their cars, ready to leave."

"This is preposterous, does the police not care about such a serious incident?"

The girls chattered incessantly.

An idea they were reluctant to accept was slowly taking root in their minds.

In fact, everyone could see that the classroom belonged to Shen Ye's ninth-grade class five.

The injured students were from other classes.

Maybe...

Shen Ye was really acting in self-defense?

Zhao Yibing lowered her head to check her phone, her eyes suddenly sharpening. She turned and started to walk out of the dormitory.

She had already done what was needed.

No, that's not acceptable.

She must not let everyone continue to think this way.

She needed to rush to the hospital to find Sun Ming and have him and a few other students testify that it was Shen Ye who started the fight.

The fault was Shen Ye's!

He couldn't escape, he had to take responsibility!

—Only then would the matter be perfect.

Shen Ye slipped out of the school gate, greeted the security uncle with a nod, and left.

Usually, when he skipped class, the security uncle was extremely fierce and vigilant.

But today, he greeted him with a cheerful smile.

"Classmate Shen, hit it big, huh? Want to light one up?"

The security uncle waved and called out.

"No thanks, uncle, I don't do that," I politely declined.

Hit it big?

Uncle, that's way too blunt and exaggerated, I'm really nothing special.

I'm just a person of talent and virtue, recognized by someone with a keen eye, about to stand out from the masses.

Just a small scene.

Don't praise me.

Shen Ye swaggered on, feeling light all over.

—As long as I don't have to take that comprehensive exam, the world is still a beautiful place.

As he walked, he put all 4 Attribute Points into Agility.

Agility immediately reached 6.9.

Huh?

I originally had 2 points, how did it become 6.9 with 4 more points?

A line of glowing text appeared on the retina:

"Through recent practice and battle, your Agility has slightly increased."

"Current Agility: 2.9+4=6.9."

—So I've improved!

One increase in spiritual power is only 0.1; yet Agility can rise by 0.9 at once.

The reason for this is that firstly, spiritual power is extremely hard to increase and requires a corresponding School of Method; secondly, Shen Ye's body has an innate Talent for Agility.

6.9 in Agility.

I can use the second technique of "Moonlight Deer Step"—"Rush"!

Shen Ye silently recalled the movement technique of "Rush".

If I enter one of the top three high schools in the world, that guy hiding in the dark won't find it as easy to kill me.

In such high-level schools, every teacher possesses great strength and the security is very tight, making it hard for outsiders even to get in.

That means—

If the one who wants me dead finds out about this, he will certainly attack me again before everything settles down.

Today!

This moment!

I have entered the most dangerous defenseless period!

My phone suddenly rang.

An unfamiliar number.

Shen Ye rejected the call outright, not bothering with it.

But the caller immediately rang again.

"Hello?"

Shen Ye answered the call.

A man's voice came through:

"Classmate Shen, I'm Luo Feichuan."

"Police Chief Luo! Hello, is there something I can help with?" Shen Ye immediately responded.

"I've found something and hope you can come to the police station to assist with the investigation," Luo Feichuan said.

Shen Ye was overjoyed.

The police chiefs in this world are quite capable, having found some leads already.

If the enemy could be brought to justice, I wouldn't have to live in fear every day.

And—

The police station is definitely safer than other places.

"All right, I'll be there right away,"

Shen Ye said.

A few minutes later.

He arrived at the city police station.

In a spacious office, Luo Feichuan gestured for Shen Ye to sit down.

"This photo was taken accidentally, and because there's been a lot of talk about the hospital recently, someone handed it over to us."

"—Take a look at this person, do you recognize him?"

Luo Feichuan pointed at the computer screen.

The screen displayed a photo, dated on the day of Shen Ye's incident.

However, the photo wasn't of the hospital, but of the opposite street, atop a skyscraper.

A tall, thin man stood on the rooftop railing, wearing a pair of light brown toad glasses, facing the direction of the hospital, hands together, mouth open, as if reciting something.

Shen Ye glanced at the photo and suddenly became lost in thought.

For some reason, ever since he entered this office and sat here, he felt like something was around him.

"I don't recognize him... I've never seen this person before,"

Shen Ye answered.

Luo Feichuan nodded slightly, about to continue, when the office door opened and several fully armed police officers walked in.

The leading officer said:

"Boss, we've caught those who robbed the bank; they're in the interrogation room now—"

The officers all seemed excited.

Even Shen Ye couldn't help but speak up, "Really caught them? I remember they were quite powerful, always on the wanted list."

—A bank robbery that shocked the city had occurred six months ago.

It had made an impression on Shen Ye's memory.

The officer, in a good mood, laughed and said, "Kid, why ask so much? Just answer our boss's questions and get going if there's nothing else."

The other officers laughed as well.

Shen Ye didn't take offense.

Interrogating criminals wasn't something he should inquire about.

He turned his head, just in time to see Luo Feichuan's eyebrows furrow slightly, then smooth out again.

"I'll be there in a moment,"

Luo Feichuan said.

The officers grinned, "Yes! Boss, we're waiting for you outside."

The door closed.

Noises of a lighter and conversation drifted in from outside.

Clearly, the officers were quite thrilled.

The office quieted down.

Shen Ye shifted uncomfortably, feeling an indescribable sensation that kept flickering in and out.

—It was as if he desperately needed to find a bathroom but couldn't locate one to save his life.

This was too strange.
