Manager Huo did not dare to delay and confessed everything about buying opium at a low price.
"Now, immediately, transfer the price difference from this opium purchase to your own card, then flee the country. You cannot stay for a second longer," Chen Feng said decisively.
"Boss Chen, is it necessary to be so quick?" Manager Huo asked tentatively.
"If you don't want to spend your life in jail, hurry up," Chen Feng said without further ado.
Hearing this, Manager Huo was frightened. In China, private opium dealing could result in the death penalty or life imprisonment. He had to flee quickly.
"But... there are no flights at this time?" Manager Huo said with a troubled expression.
"If there are no flights, then charter a plane. One second later, someone will prevent you from ever leaving," Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Charter a plane? Then all the money I earned will be lost?" Manager Huo said with pain.
"This is the consequence of taking a wrong path. Losing money is regrettable, but losing your life is more than regrettable," Manager Huo said nothing more and immediately chartered a plane to flee.
After Manager Huo left, Chen Feng immediately called the police. This swift and decisive operation greatly surprised Wang Zihao and Wang Zishan. They had intended to use the procurement manager of Meidao Pharmaceutical to bring down the company and then acquire it at a low price. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng's maneuver put them on the defensive. To prevent the police from investigating their involvement in the opium trade, they spent a large sum of money to cover their tracks.
"Brother, we've lost big this time. Not only did we fail to bring down Chen Feng, but we were also outmaneuvered by him and suffered heavy losses," Wang Zishan said dejectedly to Wang Zihao in the office.
"We underestimated Chen Feng. This guy is an all-around talent, excelling not only in business but also in politics. No wonder our sister is so smitten with him," Wang Zihao replied with equal dejection.
"What should we do next? Just let Chen Feng get away with this and pretend nothing happened?" Wang Zishan said unyieldingly.
"Of course not. The Wang family of the capital is a top-tier family. How can we be outsmarted by such a low-level deputy town mayor? We must strike back. However, this matter is indeed tricky, as Dad and sister are both on Chen Feng's side, so we can't go too far. How about this, Chen Feng wants to get a second diploma at Capital University. If we prevent him from getting it, won't that satisfy our anger?" Wang Zihao said excitedly.
"That's a great idea, brother. Using the Wang family's name, we can have Capital University make Chen Feng's assessment extremely strict. This way, a low-life like Chen Feng, who is aiming for a second diploma, will definitely not pass the assessment. Chen Feng will have to leave Capital University in disgrace," Wang Zishan cackled.
"Exactly. I'm busy lately, so you take charge of this matter of dealing with Chen Feng," Wang Zihao said before returning to his own affairs. Although he was not yet a national-level official, his actions were equivalent to those of a national-level cadre. With his father being a national-level cadre and his grandfather a retired national-level cadre, the political circles in the capital naturally allowed Wang Zihao to handle matters usually dealt with by national-level officials, as a form of early preparation. Given Wang Zihao's family background, it was only a matter of time before he became a national-level official. Rumor has it in the capital that the Wang family of the capital is an almost mythical existence. Without their approval, many things in the capital cannot be accomplished.
Wang Zishan immediately went to Capital University and made the arrangements. The relevant university leaders at Capital University were in a dilemma. On one hand, Wang Ziwei protected Chen Feng. On the other hand, Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao wanted to deal with Chen Feng. Both sides were surnamed Wang, and neither could afford to offend. Fortunately, Wang Zishan did not resort to force, but merely increased the difficulty of the examination questions. Even if Wang Ziwei was very angry, she could do nothing. Exams can be difficult or easy; it's normal.
"Vice Principal Sun, what do you mean by this?" After Chen Feng's small exam, Wang Ziwei immediately went to Vice Principal Sun's office.
"What do you mean? Teacher Wang?" Vice Principal Sun feigned ignorance and asked.
"What do I mean? Tell me, why are the questions for the monthly test of Capital University's International Politics class so difficult this time?" Wang Ziwei questioned him directly.
"Teacher Wang, isn't it normal for exam questions to vary in difficulty?" Vice Principal Sun replied, feigning composure.
"Normal? You clearly know that this exam is crucial for the detached students. Moreover, the rule at Capital University every year is that monthly tests are very easy. Yet, you've made it so difficult. I've seen the paper; not only can Chen Feng not solve it, but even a professor like you wouldn't be able to. Do you dare say this is normal?" Wang Ziwei continued to question.
Vice Principal Sun did not offer much explanation, insisting only that exams have easy and difficult questions, and this paper was for all students, not just Chen Feng, so there was nothing to explain. Wang Ziwei could only get angry in frustration because, in reality, Vice Principal Sun's excuse was perfectly valid. From this, it was clear that Chen Feng's ability to remain at Capital University now depended entirely on himself. If he passed the exam, he could stay. If he failed, he would not.
"I won't argue with you anymore. Since this has happened, I won't hold it against you. But if you do this again next time, don't blame me," Wang Ziwei said indignantly.
"Miss Wang, please rest assured, there won't be a next time," Vice Principal Sun said cryptically. The implication of "no next time" was that if Chen Feng failed this monthly test, he would be expelled. Wang Ziwei ignored Vice Principal Sun and went directly to the grading room. In the grading room, everyone was marking the monthly test papers. After sitting in the grading room all day, Wang Ziwei's mood grew increasingly worse, as she gathered from the teachers' conversations that most students had failed, with only one scoring ninety points. Logically, the one who scored ninety points would definitely not be Chen Feng, as he was a detached student and surely could not compete with full-time students who had studied for four years. Wang Ziwei's mind raced, trying to figure out how to keep Chen Feng at Capital University.
Just as Wang Ziwei was deep in thought, the person in charge of the grading room walked up to her, smiling at Chen Feng.
"Director Zhou, why are you smiling?" Wang Ziwei asked, feigning calmness.
"The one-on-one free student you brought, Chen Feng, this exam..." Director Zhou began, then paused.
