The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Genuine and Unpretentious Achievements

Lu Mian squinted her eyes, and a new message popped up in the chat group.

“[The kidnappers seem to be making new moves, be extra cautious @Mian.]”

The message lingered silently in the group for a moment, with no one replying.

Lu Mian typed “You be careful too,” but felt it wasn’t right, changed it to “I got it,” then thought it too indifferent, deleted it, and finally slowly sent out just one word.

“[Okay.]”

That avatar immediately dimmed, as if their appearance was just to send that single message.

Sui Yuan followed up immediately, asking, “[Are they going to try to kidnap us back?]”

She felt a strong fear toward the kidnapping incident, which made her already sensitive nature become even timider and more scared; she still hadn’t managed to recover from it.

Yuren and Zero both reassured her that there was nothing to worry about, that they were not the same as they were two years ago.

Moreover, all four of them had changed their names and appearances significantly, so finding them would not be achievable with just any high-tech technology.

At this moment, the one who caused the most worry was Lu Mian.

Lu Mian was the only one among the five who hadn’t erased her identity, and it was only a matter of time before those people would find her again.

Zero suggested, “[Brother Mian, there’s still time. You should hurry and change your identity!]”

Yuren shared the same thought, “[Before we find their hideout, we need to keep a low profile and be cautious. Mianmian, start over somewhere else!]”

Lu Mian pursed her lips.

Although she had no more ties with the Lu Family and could leave if she wanted, Yuanyuan was still in her senior year of high school, the school’s vanishing point hadn’t been found, and besides…

Lu Mian looked at the avatars of the group members, smiled softly and with patience through the screen.

“[Leave it to me.]”

After leaving those four words, she went offline.

The messages in the group were also erased without a trace.

——

The news of Lu Mian scoring full marks in the physics competition spread quickly throughout the school.

Her latest achievement directly slapped the faces of those who believed in “luck theory,” and no one dared to accuse her of cheating or having the answers anymore.

Her genuine and unpretentious results made everyone realize—

Lu Mian’s physics skills were genuinely badass.

Ding Cai walked into the grade meeting with his back straighter than ever.

The grade director Qiang Hua, with his hands behind his back, strolled around, smiling cheerfully.

“Class 25’s student Lu Mian has brought great honor to the first year division, the school, and even to Wucheng. Her talent in physics is definitely top-notch. With proper training for a while, there is no doubt she could secure a recommendation spot in the next finals.”

Qiang Hua paused, took a deep breath, “Therefore, Lu Mian will be the only first-year student in Kunpeng High School’s history to be recommended for college admission!”

Ding Cai nodded like a pecking chicken and unconsciously started clapping.

Having such a genius in the class made him even happier than if he had received an outstanding teacher award himself.

The other teachers agreed one after another, nodding in envy. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“The recent discipline of Class 25 has also been among the best, which is inseparable from Teacher Ding’s hard work.”

The grade meeting seemed specially designed to praise Class 25, and Ding Cai revelled in it, his eyes narrowing into slits.

As Qiang Hua was speaking, he suddenly made a pivot, “Teacher Ding, it’s not easy to manage a class like Class 25. I have a small suggestion, and I hope you’d agree.”

“Director, please speak,” Ding Cai responded with an innocently sweet face.

“Lu Mian is so outstanding that the school should nurture her well. I plan to transfer her to Class 1 and let Teacher Zhang Wenqiang guide her. What do you think?”

Ding Cai’s naive face suddenly stiffened.
