Ghost: "Catch the Ghost" Volume 9

Another morning came with the dry and sunny weather.

w.a.n.g Xu and Mister Mao were sitting in a barbershop right n?. Mister Mao was reading a newspaper while his beard was being shaved. w.a.n.g Xu closed his eyes tightly to feel his long hair, which had been neglected for two months, being cut short.

"Let me tell you, are you an elementary pupil? Your closing eyes caused you much embarra.s.sment."

"Shhh, stop talking rubbish. Comparing to the fact that I have to watch myself being transformed in the mirror, I'd rather wait until my haircut is finished, and then feel happy just glancing at it."

"Haiza, the kind of person like you could not say something persuasive. Ah, besides getting a new haircut for the school tomorrow, you also need to prepare more stuff."

"What else is it? If it is about preparing some good clothes, you go buy them by yourself. I don't have money."

"No, it's not that. I have ordered all necessities; besides, I have also made another ident.i.ty card for you. Moreover, as I have investigated your information based on your ident.i.ty card, I have realized you still have some money of tens of thousands in the bank account. Therefore, I have used that money to pay the expenses."

w.a.n.g Xu jumped up in shock, "F*ck, after all, what kind of job are you doing? A robber? Ah no, you are a devil, it is for sure. You are not human. How could you withdraw money from my bank account? Even myself, I could not do it without the ident.i.ty card."

"Don't be so agitated." Mister Mao shook the newspaper then said with a weak voice, "This amount of money has been spent on you, so the debt between you and me is still there."

After hearing it, the corner of w.a.n.g Xu's mouth curled up. He felt so angry as if he wanted to vomit blood, "Hey, uncle, when you shave for that s.h.i.+tty b.a.s.t.a.r.d, remember to cut his throat as well. The government and our fellows will thank you. This society will be grateful to you. My whole family will be also very thankful!"

"You sit down first. Moving when having your hair cut will cause difficulties for the barber."

Mister Mao was still very calm, completely ignored w.a.n.g Xu's nonsense words.

w.a.n.g Xu reluctantly sat down, closed his gray eyes tightly. Unexpectedly, Mister Mao added one more thing that made him even more dispirited, "I actually want you to prepare for the entrance exam tomorrow."

"What did you say? Entrance exam &h.e.l.lip; ouch, hair has fallen into my eyes, my eyes are itching &h.e.l.lip;"

w.a.n.g Xu had to bow his head and closed his eyes, "Why do I have to take the entrance exam?"

After turning another page of the newspaper, Mister Mao asked him with a despise voice, "Do you have the amount of money with more than nine digits?"

"I just knew that an a.s.shole has just robbed all my money."

Mister Mao continued to ask, "Do you have any direct connection with senior executives?"

"My whole family has only one left, and this person is doing a job which ordinary people do not ever want to do."

Mister Mao kept asking, "Do you have royal blood?"

"If I did, I would not hesitate to bite you to death."

Mister Mao released a sigh, "You have neither of them, that's why you need to get into the school with your real ability."

"f.u.c.kin' real ability! I thought you have prepared everything. I only need to go there and read books. It turns out that I have to take the entrance exam by myself. s.h.i.+t! The entrance exam of the Soaring Wings Inst.i.tution is totally different with the ones of other universities. It is said that only the second-year students of Stanford are able to pa.s.s that exam. Not to mention during three years in high school, everything I did in the morning was sleeping and sleeping. At night, &h.e.l.lip; ah, I had an overtime job at night. Graduating from high school was already unimaginable. You really want to kill me, do you?"

After listening to him, Mister Mao unexpectedly replied in calm, "I've even known one thing. Although you have not taken the university entrance examination, you've got maximum scores for all subjects at the high school graduation examination. It seems you have expertise in gambling cheating as well as cheating in examinations. So, should I call you 'Gamble G.o.d' now?"

As his weakness had been exactly pointed out, w.a.n.g Xu was so embarra.s.sed that he got angry, "It was just because there were only a few days to prepare, not to mention the knowledge was limited in some specific scopes. This time, I do not have any idea of what the test will be. So, how can I cheat? If it was that easy to cheat, I should have already taken the university entrance examination."

However, Mister Mao did not give w.a.n.g Xu any chance to refuse at all, "That is your problem. I'll just wait for your good news tomorrow."

w.a.n.g Xu was actually a smart boy. When he was young, he felt that study and examinations were very simple and easy. He possibly got high scores without putting all of his efforts. However, he couldn't have it both ways. Three years ago, the clever and cranky w.a.n.g Xu became the discouraging w.a.n.g Xu. In the next three years, he had learned thousands of superior gambling techniques but not any books.

Consequently, on the next day, w.a.n.g Xu had got into the floor where the entrance exam took place with insecure feelings. He was now a person walking to the dead end, as there was no way to go back.  Mister Mao had used all of the money in his bank account for his enrollment as well as preparation for his student life. Besides, Mister Mao had also had a headmaster of some high school written a recommendation letter for w.a.n.g Xu. In addition to all kinds of conditions to be able to enroll in the Soaring Wings Inst.i.tution that Mister Mao had already mentioned, it was not easy to be qualified enough to take the entrance exam. Examinees should be at the right age and have recommendation letters written by headmasters of dozens of appointed schools in the entire country.

w.a.n.g Xu looked at the recommendation letter on his hand. He only knew that the headmaster who had written this letter was not the one of his old high school. He was perhaps a friend of Mister Mao and had already rifled a lot of money from this. As only one student could be nominated every year, he would surely never do it for a strange guy like w.a.n.g Xu for free.

Those tossing thoughts hovered around in w.a.n.g Xu's mind. After handing the letter to the officer to check his ident.i.ty, he entered the examination room with a drooping appearance. Even though he had thought about dozens of ways of cheating, peeping was the most feasible way for now. This cheating way might be one of the most difficult and dangerous ones. It even reached the supreme stage, failure or success depended on the only one-time action.

At this moment, w.a.n.g Xu did not notice there was a pair of eyes looking at him anxiously. This look contained fear, doubt and came right from his exam room.

w.a.n.g Xu sat on his seat, releasing a long sigh. There were more than four hundred students joining the entrance examination of the Soaring Wings Inst.i.tution every year. The maximum number of students who pa.s.sed the exam in one year was three hundred. The other one hundred was crossed out.

"Hope I would sit next to a nerd who is one of the top one hundred bookworms." He quietly whined.

Right now, w.a.n.g Xu was sitting at the corner of the last row. This was a very good location for his plan. The target for him to peep was just one person sitting next to him.

Upon thinking about this, he turned his head around to look at the person sitting next to him.

That was a female student wearing an orange s.h.i.+rt with a jean. Although her clothes had nothing special, her body shape was attractive. From his seat, he could see her body was very well proportioned with her showed off b.r.e.a.s.t.s. This made w.a.n.g Xu feel dry on his throat. With the sunlight shone on her face, he could see her long hair was as smooth as a running flow of water and her snow-white skin. Her eyes and nose got him stunned for a while.

"This is for sure a young lady; her talent and outward look are perfect. Even though she could have enrolled the school relying on her family condition, she still chose to take the exam."

w.a.n.g Xu started to imagine. The good thing was what he had guessed was somehow correctly.

While his mind was still vague, w.a.n.g Xu realized that the girl was trying to cover her face as much as possible as if she was afraid of him.

She actually had become the focus of everyone in the exam room. However, all they had done was secretly glancing at her. In the contrary, after looking at her with his mouth watering and eyes wide open, w.a.n.g Xu even scanned her body from top to toe without any respect. Thus, some male students who were wearing gla.s.ses with intellectual appearances were about to scold him.

"Ah, it's you." w.a.n.g Xu suddenly screamed. That girl was so frightened that she did not dare to utter a word.

It turned out that she was the girl whom w.a.n.g Xu had followed on the Hundred Demon Night Parade. Today, it was sure that her security guards were outside awaited.

For the girl, when she saw w.a.n.g Xu, she was also very surprised. She even thought that that stalker had come here to take revenge on her. On that day, because she had been protected by her guards, she had not been afraid of w.a.n.g Xu. But now, seeing him entering the same room, sitting next to her, she was so terrified that she wanted to burst into tears.

His image of a ruffian had grown roots in her heart. Therefore, she did not understand how come he could enter this exam room. Right now, his scream proved that he had already recognized her. She started to feel more puzzled and frightened.

Fortunately, the supervisor just entered the room, clearing his throat to attract everyone's attention.

In fact, w.a.n.g Xu did not think as much as she did. He just a.s.sumed that a person like her could not affect his superior cheating technique.

At this moment, he put all his mind focusing on the superior technique 'killing look' to compete with him.
