Chapter 57

In the early morning, Jiangpu Middle School was quiet and still, with the school gates tightly closed. Neither teachers nor students had arrived, and there was not even a security guard in sight. It wasn't even six o'clock yet; perhaps the security guards were still in bed.

For Jiang Ping, this situation was perfect, highly advantageous for what he was about to do. He rode his bicycle past the front of Jiangpu Middle School without slowing down, as if he were just passing by. However, after turning into a small alley next to the school, Jiang Ping quickly stopped.

Jiang Ping casually parked his bicycle against the wall and looked around. After confirming that no one was around, he took a few steps back, then accelerated and suddenly leaped high up at the school's wall. Although Jiang Ping had only recently started practicing the Xuan Kong Technique, his physical condition had already improved somewhat since his rebirth. Moreover, he used all his strength for this jump and applied the special force techniques from the Xuan Kong Technique, allowing him to jump much higher than most people.

Just as he was about to reach the peak of his jump, Jiang Ping suddenly kicked the wall with great force, propelling himself up another half meter. After two jumps, Jiang Ping reached out and grabbed the top of the wall, then easily flipped into the school with a push from his waist and legs. On the other side of the wall was a green belt next to the playground. Jiang Ping lightly jumped to the ground, observed his surroundings, and then quickly ran toward the teaching building.

To others, Jiang Ping's successful entry into Jiangpu Middle School by climbing over the wall might have seemed very smooth, but he was not satisfied. As he ran, he sighed to himself, "It's so difficult to climb over a wall, which shows that my current body is still too weak. I need to strengthen my training!"

Of course, strengthening his training would have to wait until after the college entrance exam. For now, Jiang Ping needed to focus on what he had to do.

Since the college entrance exam was taking place today, Jiangpu Middle School had already made all the necessary preparations. Many places had signs indicating the locations of each examination room. With the help of these signs, Jiang Ping easily found his destination—the examination room where he and Zhou Xiang would be taking the exam.

The examination room was no place for games. The day before, the teachers had already placed the admission tickets on the desks and thoroughly inspected the entire classroom. The classroom was now locked, and an additional padlock had been added to ensure security. Besides the two locks, a seal was also placed on the door to guarantee absolute security.

However, the measures that the teachers considered foolproof were like a game to Jiang Ping. He took a razor blade from his pocket and skillfully removed the seal from the door. Then, Jiang Ping took out two thin, curved steel wires and inserted them into the lock, fiddling with them.

In no time, the padlock made a soft "click" and was unlocked by Jiang Ping. The other lock only held out for a few seconds before the classroom door was gently pushed open by Jiang Ping. He quickly slipped into the examination room, closed the door quietly, and immediately began searching for Zhou Xiang's seat.

Since the admission tickets were already on the desks, Jiang Ping easily found Zhou Xiang's seat. He carefully checked the photo and name, and compared it with the seat he had memorized to ensure he had the right target.

Jiang Ping's plan was to completely ruin Zhou Xiang's college entrance exam, so he had to be cautious. He did not want to accidentally harm anyone else and ruin an innocent person's exam.

After confirming that this was indeed Zhou Xiang's seat, Jiang Ping took out a pager from his pocket, adjusted it to non-vibration mode, and securely taped it under Zhou Xiang's chair. He chose to place the pager under the chair rather than under the desk to avoid detection by the invigilators who might check the room again before the exam. The chair was a more hidden spot.

After ensuring everything was in order, Jiang Ping quickly left the classroom, locked both locks, and even resealed the door with a small bottle of glue he had brought with him.

After completing everything neatly and efficiently, Jiang Ping returned the same way he came, climbed over the wall, and left Jiangpu Middle School. Outside the wall, he took off the gloves he had worn when entering the school and casually wiped away the footprints he had left on the wall.

Actually, Jiang Ping didn't need to be so careful. No one would connect the upcoming exam cheating incident with the footprints on the wall, and it would be impossible to trace the vague footprints back to Jiang Ping. However, in his previous life, Jiang Ping was a famous thief, and caution had become a part of his character. So he did this out of habit.

After wiping away the footprints on the wall, Jiang Ping nodded in satisfaction and rode his bicycle back home. Out of caution, he didn't take the same route he had come from but instead took a longer, more circuitous route.

When Jiang Ping returned home, he found that his parents and sister were already up, which was unusual. Especially Jiang Wei, the little lazy cat, who would never get up so early. Jiang Ping didn't need to guess why they were up so early; they were all nervous about his college entrance exam.

The family's concern made Jiang Ping feel warm inside and strengthened his resolve to make up for past regrets and ensure his family had a good life.

To avoid putting pressure on Jiang Ping, Jiang Jianhua and his wife, along with Jiang Wei, avoided mentioning the exam. However, for Jiang Ping, who had experienced many challenges in his previous life, the college entrance exam, though important, was not something that made him nervous.

Seeing that his family was more nervous than he was, Jiang Ping deliberately joked during breakfast, "If you don't look at the admission tickets, others might think you're the ones taking the exam!"

Jiang Ping's words livened up the atmosphere. Jiang Wei was the first to pout, "Hmph, I wouldn't have gotten up so early if I knew that, brother! You're so annoying!"

Zhu Yun also frowned, "You, we're just concerned about you, don't be ungrateful!"

Jiang Jianhua, however, was very satisfied with Jiang Ping's state of mind and said with a smile, "Son, it seems you're not very nervous, which makes me feel relieved. Don't have any mental burden, just relax and do your best!"

"I know, don't worry about me!" Jiang Ping finished his soy milk, then stood up and said, "I'll go get ready and then head out!"

Jiang Ping checked the items he needed for the exam and then left alone. Originally, Jiang Jianhua and Zhu Yun had planned to take leave and accompany Jiang Ping, but he refused. For Jiang Ping, who had the soul of an adult, it was not natural to have his parents accompany him for such a "small matter." He felt more at ease going alone.

This was Jiang Ping's second trip to Jiangpu Middle School today, and it was much more relaxed compared to the first. He rode his bicycle to the school gate and found that many students had already arrived. The quiet Jiangpu Middle School entrance in the morning was now bustling with activity.

Jiang Ping's gaze swept through the crowd, and he immediately found one of the two people he most wanted to see at that moment—Li Qian.
