Chapter 90 Rules for the Entrance Examination (2/2)

The student also completed another one quickly.

”Three.”

It was still easy for the student.

”Two.”

The student did another one, but something seemed to be wrong.

”One.”

The color on the student's face changed.

In the end, Gao Peng did not count just how many push-ups were completed. He only saw that unfortunate brother looking like a dead salted fish, lying on the scalding cement ground, with no strength left to move.

Probably… cooked, right?

”I hope that all you examinees will encourage each other and not waste your time. I believe that you've all experienced the three years of calamity equally. It wasn't easy to achieve this peace, and I hope that you all treasure it,” Chief Instructor Chen said profoundly.

After leaving school, Gao Peng remembered the person-in-charge who called him yesterday night about some variant plant in his villa. It was probably right to call and ask about it.

Gao Peng took out his phone, but the number was unreachable. It showed that the number was turned off. Gao Peng furrowed his brows together. Why would a phone be turned off without any reason?

It made him feel uneasy. Didn't they agree to be in contact today? It couldn't be that the person did that just so he could put him off, right?

Gao Peng thought for a bit. He made a call to the construction company.

”Hello, how may I help you?” the sweet voice of a female voice came from the other side of the phone.

”I'm Gao Peng, I assigned your company a project not that long ago. Why can't I get through to the phone of the person-in-charge of my project?” Gao Peng asked.

A brief pause from the other side, and then a reply. ”Please hold on a second sir, and I'll check it for you.”

After a moment of silence, the voice returned from the other side. ”Hello sir. Is the person in charge of your project Liu Dahai?”

”Yes, that's him.”

”Sir, I'm sorry. As of three o'clock in the afternoon today, Liu Dahai's family made a report to the police. Liu Dahai is confirmed to be missing.”

Gao Peng's eye twitched.

Liu Dahai had gone missing!

How was that possible? He was on the phone with him just last night. And a report was made to the police at three in the afternoon today, which meant that anything that happened certainly happened yesterday evening.

”Sir? Sir?” The voice from the other side pulled Gao Peng from his thoughts.

”I'm sorry, it is just a bit surprising to hear about this piece of news.”

”Mr. Gao, because Manager Liu disappeared, the company has decided to get you another person to be in charge of your project. Do you agree?”

”Alright, that's fine.” Gao Peng agreed.

After hanging up, Gao Peng let out a long breath.

He was now very cautious. No matter what, after something like that happened, it was very likely that the target was him.

Gao Peng felt agonized. The reason the adversary did not come directly to the city to find him was either that they were reluctant to move into the city area or that they did not know his exact location. However, of the latter situation, Gao Peng wasn't sure. After all, information technology was so advanced, it was not difficult for one to find out where another person stayed.

However, if he moved to the villa in the outskirts of the rural area, the unknown enemy could very well find him on his doorstep.

As he thought of that, Gao Peng suddenly felt a sense of urgency. It was time to increase the evolution rate of the familiars. Initially, he had wanted to be practical and grow slowly one step at a time as he was afraid that evolving the familiars too quickly would create many side effects.

Ugh, looks like there's no time to worry so much, and moreover, evolving a little faster shouldn't create any side effects. Maybe, he thought.
