After a moment, the call connected. He said, "Gao Ming, it’s me. Liu Zhan’s transfer order is confirmed. I’ll wait for you at the training hall later."

Gao Ming responded, "Okay, cousin, I’m coming right now."

Inside a private club, a letter of recommendation for Chen Chuan, brought over by Gan Dayao, was placed before Wei Jun. It detailed the recommendation process, including what Chen Chuan had done, the reasons for the positive evaluation, and a clear account of the incident from start to finish.

In addition to this, there were also detailed records and files on Chen Chuan from the Mutual Aid Association. These included his performance during his enrollment, his general grades and experiences afterward, any verifiable deeds he had accomplished, and his current level. Anything that happened within the school was clearly listed.

Wei Jun picked it up and began to read. His expression, initially casual, grew increasingly serious, and by the end, it was tinged with astonishment.

This was because any single one of Chen Chuan’s accomplishments at the school was something an ordinary person could not achieve. Even for a high-level student, they would be considered stunning.

He never imagined that such a student existed right under the Mutual Aid Association’s nose, and that he had come so far without anyone noticing.

Logically, a person like this should be dazzlingly brilliant, but the reality was the exact opposite. The man was usually so low-key he was practically invisible.

’Thinking back now, it was because of this student that Tan Wang had left the academy, which in turn had forced him to lay low. How could I have completely overlooked him before?’

’Fortunately, it’s not too late.’

Holding the file, he stood up, left the reception room, and went straight to the poolside area outside. Jiang Wei and the other two were still waiting there. He sat down on his deck chair and looked at the three of them. "So, what have you decided?"

Qiao Rong snorted, crossing her arms and leaning back in her deck chair. "We’ve discussed it. I can give up my spot, but it’s not my call to make. I’m also not obligated to be your messenger. You can go talk to my family yourself."

Wei Jun looked at her and said, "As long as you agree, you don’t have to worry about the rest. Whether it works out or not, I’ll owe you one."

"Fine. Is there anything else? If not, I’m leaving."

"Wait."

Seeing she was about to leave, Wei Jun gestured for her to sit back down. "There’s something I need to tell you all first." He tossed the file onto the coffee table beside them and tapped it twice with his finger. "I think if we don’t handle this first, the spot we just freed up might be in jeopardy."

Hearing this, the three of them were surprised. Shao Xiaobie couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Wei, what happened?"

"What happened?" Wei Jun scoffed, looking at the three of them. "A student from Wuyi has already secured a departmental recommendation from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and they deliberately concealed it. This happened six months ago. I’m sure you know what that means."

Upon hearing this, Shao Xiaobie froze for a moment, then shot upright. "Who? Who is it?"

Wei Jun grabbed the file and tossed it into his lap. "The file’s right here. Take it and see for yourself. Then think about how we should handle this."

"Chen Chuan? A first-year?" Shao Xiaobie opened the file and stared, stunned. "Are you kidding me? There’s no mistake?"

Wei Jun said with a cold expression, "He is a first-year. You can look at the things he’s done, and then imagine what will happen when he’s a second-year, or a third-year."

Shao Xiaobie quickly flipped through the pages, his alarm growing with each one.

Qiao Rong also took it for a look and said sarcastically, "Hmph. You guys at the Mutual Aid Association are doing a great job, can’t even keep an eye on a single first-year."

Shao Xiaobie said irritably, "Cut the fucking sarcasm. Who knew this kid was quietly getting so much done? Shit, he’s really something else, stirring up all this trouble as a first-year, and I didn’t even notice."

Jiang Wei said with a smile, "Yes, this student... he’s very special."

Wei Jun said coldly, "I don’t care how special he is, and I don’t care what he’s done. I’m just telling you, I don’t want to see another Shen Zheng."

At the mention of Shen Zheng, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

They all still remembered him. Back then, not a single one of the Recommended Students in the entire academy was his match. Even when they set up all sorts of unfavorable conditions, he overcame them one by one, stepping over them time and again to advance. It was safe to say the Mutual Aid Association had been left in a very sorry state during that period.

That man later obtained the Unlimited Defense Certificate and was only one step away from going to Central City.

But that was something they absolutely could not tolerate. More importantly, based on his actions, once he established a foothold in Central City, he would have definitely come back to dig up their roots, which would in turn affect the power structure of Yangzhi City. Fortunately, the families behind them had seen the writing on the wall and decisively intervened, managing to deal with him in time.

Jiang Wei took the file and looked it over, analyzing calmly, "He already has a recommendation from the Foreign Affairs Bureau. If he gets one from the Processing Bureau, he’ll likely apply for the Unlimited Defense Certificate exam after school starts. Given his strength, his chances of passing are very high.

After getting the Defense Certificate, his next step would be applying for a spot in Central City. It’s a good thing this information leaked ahead of time; otherwise, he might have actually pulled it off. It would be very difficult to stop him at that point."

Wei Jun’s expression was grim. "There can be no more problems with the spots. We can’t let this go, no matter how small the chance. Whatever it takes, this matter must be handled." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Shao Xiaobie cursed, "Shit, where is this kid now? I’ll get someone to take care of him right now."

Wei Jun’s butler, standing to the side, said, "Mr. Shao, the academy is currently on break. The student spends most of his time at a private training hall on Xiuyi Street in South City. It’s the property of Manager Cheng."

"Manager Cheng?" Shao Xiaobie froze.

Qiao Rong shot him a disdainful glance and said irritably, "Where are your eyes? Didn’t you see in the file that Cheng Zitong is his mentor?"

"Cheng Zitong? This makes things a little tricky." Shao Xiaobie hesitated. He knew about Cheng Zitong’s background and was genuinely wary.

Jiang Wei smiled. "He’s just a mentor. If the person is gone, what can he do?"

Shao Xiaobie thought about it and realized he had a point. When Shen Zheng died back then, they had been nervous for a while, afraid that He Xiaoxing wouldn’t let the matter drop. It seemed their companies and families had even made special preparations. But in the end, didn’t it all just blow over?

He stood up from his deck chair, his voice turning vicious. "Leave it to me. I’ll arrange it." With that, he started to walk out.

"Xiaobie," came Wei Jun’s voice from behind.

Shao Xiaobie turned back.

Wei Jun looked up at him and said slowly, "If you’re going to make a move, do it cleanly. Don’t leave any loose ends."

Shao Xiaobie said with certainty, "Don’t worry, Brother Wei. I’ll have outsiders handle it. It definitely won’t be traced back to the Association."
