Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1005: Chapter 1004: The School’s Secret

Hearing Yuan Tiangang’s words, Su Yang’s eyelids instantly twitched, and he couldn’t help but look at Yuan Tiangang, starting to feel puzzled.

Previously, Su Yang had used the Soul Searching Technique to probe Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi, but these two didn’t harbor any valuable information in their minds, which had led Su Yang to conclude that they were merely swindlers who freeloaded off others.

But now, Yuan Tiangang wanted to exchange some school secrets with Su Yang, which made him inevitably start doubting.

Yuan Tiangang knew some school secrets? What was this about? Could he have been mistaken?

Though the Soul Searching Technique was very convenient, it was mentioned in Destiny’s Tome when recording the Soul Searching Technique that it wasn’t entirely accurate. Moreover, the Soul Searching Technique couldn’t reveal all the memories in a person’s mind, only some particularly crucial memories or thoughts they were currently pondering could be detected.

Could it be that the school’s secrets were not considered particularly important memories to Yuan Tiangang?

Seeing Su Yang remain silent, Yuan Tiangang grew anxious and leaned closer, whispering, ”I’m telling the truth. This is the biggest secret in the school, unknown to most people. You’ve stirred up so much trouble just to get close to the higher-ups and uncover the school’s secrets, right? I just happen to know the secrets you want to find out!”

Su Yang frowned. Yuan Tiangang spoke in an air of mystery, which quite intrigued him. Could it be that Old Yuan really knew some secrets?

At that moment, Wu Daozi looked anxious and tugged at Yuan Tiangang’s clothes, ”Hey, Old Yuan, you better not mess around. These secrets, can they just be disclosed? They are crucial matters of the school, and we’ve always been instructed to keep them confidential! Just for a meal, is it worth it?”

”How can this be messing around!” Yuan Tiangang waved his hand, ”Student Su is a grateful person. If we tell him these secrets, he won’t short-change us. It’s not just about this meal, but in the future, Su Yang will surely look after us. For example, enrolling directly in our master’s and doctoral program, paying tuition of three to five million or something, I believe Su Yang would be willing!”

Wu Daozi nodded but still sighed, ”Ah, for that three to five million, to sell the school’s secrets, is it worth it?”

”What we want is a relationship with Student Su. Money is not important!” Yuan Tiangang waved his hand.

As Su Yang watched the two old men, what was strange was that he could not discern the secrets in their hearts. Thus, he also didn’t know whether these two old men were speaking truth or lies.

Yet, judging by how the two were echoing each other, Su Yang always felt that these two old men were up to no good.

However, in the end, Su Yang decided to trust them once. After all, it was just the cost of a meal, which was nothing. But if these two really knew some secrets, then Su Yang would indeed consider his trip worthwhile!

”Alright, I’ll cover the bill!” Su Yang said, ”But first, you need to tell me the school’s secrets.”

”That won’t do, you need to pay first,” Yuan Tiangang shook his head.

”Are you trying to scam us?” Huo Qianfang got angry, ”If we pay and then you don’t speak, wouldn’t we be fooled?”

”Miss, we are right here, would you let us off if I don’t talk?” Yuan Tiangang said, ”Moreover, we can swear. If Student Su pays the bill and we don’t reveal the secret, then we are both scoundrels and not human, how about that?”

Huo Qianfang looked bewildered, could these two really make such an oath? Could it be that they actually knew some secrets?

Su Yang thought about it, and in the end, he simply let the waiter swipe his card to pay the bill. A few million, that’s all. He had spent over three hundred million at last night’s party, wasn’t it all to learn some secrets about the school?

The two watched eagerly as Su Yang finished paying, and they immediately sighed in relief as if they were really afraid Su Yang would suggest going Dutch.

”Alright, you can talk now!” Su Yang said.

Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi looked at each other, took a deep breath, leaned closer to Su Yang, and whispered, ”I’ll tell you—the place where the school stores the exam papers is in the room at the far eastern end on the fifth floor of the library!”

After speaking, Yuan Tiangang immediately pulled back, while casting a meaningful glance at Su Yang, his face saying, ’You know what I mean.’

Su Yang almost choked on his own blood. ”That’s it?”

”That’s it!” Yuan Tiangang replied. ”This is the most confidential matter in the school, is that not enough for you?”

”I’m going to...” Su Yang really felt a murderous impulse. After all that talk, this was the secret?

”The secrets I want to know aren’t these!” Su Yang said anxiously.

”Not these secrets?” Yuan Tiangang scratched his head. ”Then what do you want to know?”

”I...” Su Yang opened his mouth but then found himself unable to speak. In truth, he didn’t even know what secrets the school held; he just felt the school was strange. But when asked to specify, he really didn’t know where to start.

Moreover, he didn’t know who exactly Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi were. If he revealed his true intentions, these two might go and report him, letting the school know his motives and start guarding against him, then wouldn’t he be shooting himself in the foot?

So, after much deliberation, Su Yang decided to drop the matter. He looked at them angrily and said sternly, ”What kind of crap secret is this? You think this counts as today’s meal?”

”This isn’t considered a secret?” Yuan Tiangang suddenly screeched. ”Do you know what those stored papers are? They are your annual final exam papers! If you don’t want to fail, just sneak out the papers early, find someone to work out the answers, and you’ll definitely pass the finals with no issues. This is a secret many people want to know, and you’re just dismissing it?”

Su Yang was completely speechless. To him, this really wasn’t anything significant. He wasn’t here to study; he was here to investigate the school’s secrets. As for where the exam papers were kept, that was utterly irrelevant!

”Enough already,” Su Yang waved his hand listlessly. ”Let’s go, let’s go.”

”No rush.” Yuan Tiangang burped and said, ”The waiter is packing it up; it’ll be ready soon. By the way, has your car arrived? You’re going to give us a lift to the faculty dormitory building, right?”

”Forget it, you two can take a cab!” Su Yang could no longer bear to look at these two old guys and walked out directly with Huo Qianfang and Hu Xiexie.

”Hey, hey, wait for us! The waiter will finish packing soon. Don’t be so rushed—remember, we are teachers...”

Despite their loud protests and attempts to follow Su Yang, they ultimately couldn’t bear leaving the packed food behind and could only watch helplessly as Su Yang and the two others left them behind completely.
