Chapter 264: Chapter 264
After verifying the information and confirming there were no errors, the Bureau personnel continued to ask,
"Do you recognize those five people?"
"The reason they targeted you?"
"Probably because of money."
As the Bureau personnel asked questions and took notes, they then asked again,
"Did you subdue them on your own?"
"And how did you subdue them?"
"Overwhelming strength."
Hearing this, the Bureau personnel slightly furrowed their brows and paused for a moment.
Then, looking into Su Yan’s eyes, they asked,
"That criminal gang included one Legendary Level individual and members at the Half-step Legendary Level. And you’re just a recent high school graduate, even if you were the top scholar of Nanjiang Province’s Evolution Department."
"But I simply overwhelmed them with my strength."
"Your electronic file states that your Creature Level is Semi-Legendary."
"I suggest firing the records clerk."
After a moment of silence, the Bureau personnel said in a flat tone, "Thank you, Student Su Yan, for your cooperation. The inquiry is over. You may go now."
Su Yan responded, then stood up and left, not lingering in the interrogation room for even a moment longer.

A tall man walked into the interrogation room and asked the Bureau personnel who had just taken the statement, "Captain Huang, did you find out anything?"
Captain Huang shook his head. "Nothing."
The man nodded, then lit a cigarette and said, "I’ve seen Lu Xiaolong, who’s lying in the hospital. He has multiple comminuted fractures all over his body and slight damage to his skull. He’s seriously injured."
"You know Lu Xiaolong; he’s a veteran Legendary Level Creature. In recent years, several top scorers of the provincial college entrance exams have fallen to him, one of whom was even from a province renowned for its strong education system."
"I think there’s something fishy about this. A top scorer from Nanjiang Province couldn’t possibly possess the strength to overwhelm Lu Xiaolong."
The man had just finished speaking when Captain Huang, looking at the computer screen in front of him, said, "You might not believe this, but it seems he really wasn’t lying."
"Come take a look at this video."
The man furrowed his brows, then, with the cigarette still in his mouth, walked over to Captain Huang’s side and fixed his gaze on the computer screen.
The man was so shocked, the cigarette dropped from his mouth.
「After leaving the Evolution Management Bureau.」
Su Yan headed straight for Jing University, eager to return to his dormitory, lock the door, and attend to some important business.
As he was approaching his dormitory building, a commotion erupted from a nearby high-rise building.
"This lab? I’m done with it! I don’t need to stay!"
Following this roar, a young man burst out of the laboratory and hurried away, taking large strides.
Shortly afterward, an exceptionally curvaceous young woman chased after him out of the lab, with a group of young men and women trailing behind her.
When Su Yan got a clear look at the young woman’s face, he was rather surprised to realize she was Dean Bai, the dean of Jingdou University’s Cultivation College, whom he had encountered outside Jingdou City before.
This Dean Bai, who was almost excessively voluptuous, immediately chased after the young man who had stormed out earlier.
While jogging after him, she shouted, "Qin Luo, you get back here!"
Su Yan was curious, so he casually approached a senior who looked approachable and asked for some gossip, "Excuse me, could you tell me what happened here?"
The senior glanced at Su Yan and then patiently explained,
"Actually, it’s nothing major. Just your typical clash between a thorny student and a strict teacher."
"You have Young Master Qin on one side and Dean Bai on the other. Both of them are notorious for giving others a hard time."
"One enjoys tormenting teachers; the other is a master at tormenting students."
"And just now, they clashed while working on a project. They had a disagreement."
Hearing this, Su Yan curiously pressed, "What kind of clash was it?"
The senior continued, "Just now, while working on the project, Dean Bai was pushing too hard, constantly rushing him. Young Master Qin couldn’t take it anymore, so he blurted out, ’Whoever wants to do it can do it!’ and then, in a fit of anger, declared he wanted to drop out."
"Seriously? After twelve years of arduous study to finally get into Jing University, he wants to drop out just like that? Is he really that nonchalant?"
"He’s the young master of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, a super-rich second-generation kid here in Jingdou. Studying or not, it’s all the same to him."
"Worst case, he just goes home to inherit the family business, right?"
Jingdou certainly has a lot of rich second-generation kids. But still, dropping out seems a bit extreme, doesn’t it? Couldn’t he just quit the research project?
"He can hide for a while, but not forever. Bai Jie is the dean of the Institute of Plant Cultivation. When it’s time to graduate, he’ll have to pass her evaluation one way or another."
"But to be honest, with Dean Bai’s relentless, non-stop demands, very few can withstand them."
"Unless your Creature Level is high enough to be in the Legendary Level Category, where the need for sleep is significantly reduced."
"Otherwise, you definitely wouldn’t be able to tolerate her constant pressure."
"And that Young Master Qin is a case in point. His talent isn’t great. Even as a third-year, his Creature Level is only Half-step Rare Level. He simply can’t handle the pressure."
"For the past month, I’ve seen him every day with dark circles under his eyes. He looks completely drained and spiritless, as if his body has been squeezed dry."
"If I were the young master of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, I’d drop out too. Isn’t going home to inherit the family business more appealing? Why endure this torment?"
Su Yan said, "Fair point. But that raises a question: if Young Master Qin’s talent is so mediocre, how did he manage to get into Jing University?"
