"Holy shit, has Lin Chen gone mad? The guy who's never attended a single class is actually going to compete with Lü Mingwei on a test."

"Sigh, it's over, our class hunk is about to fall from grace. How's he going to lift his head after being rolled out of the classroom?"

"Haha, even Lin Chen has days like this. I'm going to record this and post it on the school forum."

Whispers of discussion traveled through the crowd, with worry, ridicule, and many schadenfreude-filled spectators eager to see Lin Chen make a fool of himself.

Zuo Siqi stood by with a smile that could light up the room, her face always wearing an expression of amusement as if she wasn't the slightest bit worried for Lin Chen.

Under normal circumstances, seeing Lin Chen challenge Lü Mingwei, Zuo Siqi should have stepped in to stop him, or at least worn a worried expression on her face.

After all, Lin Chen had never attended a class for the entire semester, yet Zuo Siqi showed not the slightest sign of concern, which was quite abnormal.

The expression on Zuo Siqi's face could only mean one thing—she was very confident in Lin Chen's victory.

Lin Chen suddenly remembered the phone call he had just received from Zuo Siqi. She had told him to rush to the classroom by 8:50 am, and coincidentally, that was the exact time Lü Mingwei proposed to Zuo Siqi.

In other words, everything was under Zuo Siqi's control.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly; this girl really did have a "secret technique" for foreseeing the future!

Seeing Lin Chen lost in thought, Lü Mingwei laughed and said, "You're not scared, are you?"

Lin Chen replied with a faint smile, "Scared? I, Lin Chen, don't even know how to spell the word 'fear'."

Just then, the bell signaling preparations for the test rang. Zuo Siqi clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, please go back to your seats. The exam is about to start."

Lin Chen looked at Lü Mingwei provocatively and returned to his seat.

Lü Mingwei, on the other hand, snatched a pen from a classmate and sat down at a table with a huff.

After distributing the exam papers, Zuo Siqi came to Lü Mingwei and said, "Mingwei, I'd advise you to stop this nonsense and leave. It wouldn't look good to be kicked out like a ball."

Lü Mingwei turned his head, glanced at Lin Chen, and laughed confidently, "Haha, what a joke. I just heard students say this guy has never attended a class. How could I lose to a slacker? That's laughable."

Zuo Siqi helplessly shook her head, "As your friend, I've done my duty. Now, look out for yourself."

Soon, the exam bell rang, and all the students began fervently answering the questions on their papers.

Lü Mingwei sneered at the exam paper and confidently began to write his answers.

Lin Chen, nibbling on his pen cap, glanced at the exam paper a few times, then lowered his head and started to write his answers.

The clock ticked on. This clinical medicine exam was tough, causing many students to stare blankly at their papers.

Some students even rummaged under their desks through carefully prepared cheat sheets, only to find they were of no help.

Twenty minutes in, Lin Chen suddenly stood up.

"Teacher, I'd like to turn in my paper."

"What!" Lin Chen's eagerness to submit his paper quieted the classroom, followed by a burst of laughter.

With such difficult questions, completing the exam in an hour and a half seemed impossible. Lin Chen turning in his paper so quickly meant only one possibility—he knew nothing and had turned in a blank sheet.

Seeing Lin Chen turn in his paper so quickly, a cold smile crept onto Lü Mingwei's face.

The exam paper was challenging even for him; some questions he had to consider carefully before answering. Finishing in twenty minutes was sheer fantasy.

Lü Mingwei felt even more confident, but to be safe, he conscientiously completed each question.

FInally, after an hour, Lü Mingwei stood up and took his paper to Zuo Siqi.

"Siqi, do you think it's even necessary to look at it? Or should we just let someone roll out of here?" Lü Mingwei laughed confidently.

By now, many students had turned in their papers, but no one had left. They were all waiting to see the final outcome.

However, many had already concluded that Lin Chen was doomed to lose. Being the first in the class to turn in his paper, how could he possibly have finished those difficult questions in twenty minutes? So more people were curious to see how Lin Chen would end up.

Zuo Siqi smiled faintly, "Lü Mingwei, it's too early for you to be making claims. Lin Chen has completed the entire paper, and from what I saw just now, the grades should be good."

"Impossible!" Lü Mingwei's face was full of disbelief.

"Siqi, stop kidding me. Even my mentor wouldn't be able to finish this paper so quickly, let alone this underachiever. How could he possibly!" Lü Mingwei said with a cold laugh.

Zuo Siqi smiled lightly, "Whether it's possible or not isn't up to us. The grades will speak for themselves in the end."

As she spoke, Zuo Siqi called over Professor Chen Fei from LinChuan Medical.

When Chen Fei entered the classroom and saw Lü Mingwei, he was first taken aback and then greeted him enthusiastically.

"Dr. Lü, I didn't expect to see you here," Chen Fei said, excitedly shaking Lü Mingwei's hand.

A proud smile appeared on Lü Mingwei's face; he enjoyed this feeling.

"Professor Chen, I'm going to have to trouble you to take a look at this paper again. There are students from your school who disagree and want to bet to see whose exam scores are higher," Lü Mingwei said cheerfully.

"What? A student is challenging you? That's a joke. There's no need to look. You're an authority in the medical field; which student can compare with you?" Chen Fei said with a look of respect.

The surrounding students were shocked to see Chen Fei treating Lü Mingwei with such reverence.

It was well-known that Chen Fei was quite prideful at school, and he took academics very seriously. Anyone he admired to such an extent must be incredibly knowledgeable.

Many students who had hoped for a miracle completely lost faith at this point.

"Lin Chen has truly met his match this time!"

At that moment, Zuo Siqi handed the two exam papers to Chen Fei. "Professor Chen, please take a look at the papers."

Chen Fei adjusted his glasses, picked up Lü Mingwei's paper, and nodded repeatedly as he read, "Indeed, Professor Lü, this paper is answered perfectly. There are only a few minor flaws. This paper could score a high mark of 98."

"Boom!"

"My goodness, a returned foreign-doctorate scholar really is something, scoring that high."

"98 points on such a difficult paper, how is that possible? Truly a top student!"

Hearing this score, Lü Mingwei nodded in satisfaction. After all, some minor knowledge points were a bit hazy, so losing two points was understandable.

Then, Chen Fei picked up Lin Chen's paper.

At first glance, Chen Fei looked dismissive, but the moment his eyes fell on the paper, he was instantly stunned.

His complexion turned incredibly animated, even somewhat excited.

When he finished grading the paper, he exclaimed with a face full of surprise, "Who answered this paper?"

At that moment, Lin Chen stood up, "I did."

Chen Fei adjusted his glasses to take a closer look and felt this student looked unfamiliar.

"Are you a student in our class?" Chen Fei asked, somewhat surprised.

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, teacher."

"Have you attended my lectures?" Chen Fei asked somewhat sheepishly.

Lin Chen, also with a somewhat embarrassed face, said, "I don't think so!"

"Genius, genius!" Chen Fei's voice trembled.

Lü Mingwei frowned and asked, "How many points did he score?"

Shock still written all over his face, Chen Fei replied, "He scored 100 points!"

Boom!

As Chen Fei's words fell, the entire classroom fell silent.
