<b>Chapter 24: Chen Beiguo’s Unease</b>


    In the Governor’s Mansion of Donghai Province, people bustled in and out, but there was no chaos, only orderly activity.


    “Is the Divine Revtion Temple area already secured?” Chen Beiguo, sitting at the center ofmand, gave his orders.


    “Everything is in ce. Not only are the first and third divisions of the police department maintaining order, but the Donghai Security Committee is also on standby nearby, ensuring the college entrance examination goes smoothly.”


    Chen Beiguo slowly nodded in approval. Usually, only the police department would need to maintain order at the exam site. However, after yesterday’s incident, Donghai City was on edge. Therefore, Chen Beiguo also mobilized the Donghai Security Committee to assist.


    Suddenly, Chen Beiguo asked, “What about the Qin family’s young master?”


    “Chairman Yu granted him the temporary position of exam supervisor…”


    Hearing this, Chen Beiguo’s expression turned grim. “What is Yu Xun trying to achieve, and what exactly is the Qin family nning?”


    Yu Feng, Chairman of the Provincial Council, is the second most powerful person in Donghai Province. The rivalry between the Provincial Council and the Governor’s office is no secret in Donghai’s political circles.


    After all, Chen Beiguo is under Regent Lu Ji, while Yu Feng is aligned with the Qin family. Their ongoing rivalry mirrors therger struggle between the Regency and the Qin family.


    Every year, apart from the supervisory teams formed by the Education Department and the Security Committee, respected figures from themunity are selected as temporary supervisors.


    But what qualifies Qin Xian as respected?


    However, the position of temporary exam supervisor is quite subjective, and if the Provincial Council insists on granting it to Qin Xian, there is little Chen Beiguo can do. This decision suddenly filled Chen Beiguo with unease.


    He recalled how his daughter, Chen Lingxi, vouched for Lin Feng yesterday. Could Qin Xian’s role as a supervisor be an excuse to target Lin Feng?


    Chen Beiguo did not particrly care about Lin Feng, especially after learning about Lin Feng’s failed job transition, leaving him only as an SS-level Non-Specialist. Being a Non-Specialist meant Lin Feng’s future achievements would be limited.


    What concerned Chen Beiguo was that if anything were to happen to Lin Feng during the examination, Chen Lingxi, who vouched for him, would undoubtedly be held ountable. Even he might face repercussions.


    Chen Beiguo had been the Governor for many years and was shrewd and deeply calcting. He immediately sensed a potential conspiracy.


    After a moment of contemtion, Chen Beiguo ordered, “Make arrangements. I’ll go to the Divine Revtion Temple to oversee the examination.”


    The officials of the Governor’s Mansion were surprised by this. Governors, busy with state affairs, typically only visit exam sites when an SS-level super talent is expected.


    Although there were rumors of an SS-level awakened talent at the First High School, unfortunately, due to some ident, the transition failed…


    But since Chen Beiguo had given the order, theyplied without furtherment and began making arrangements.


    Chen Beiguo maintained a stoic demeanor. Over the years, he had kept prominent Qin family figures like Chairman Yu Feng and Inspector General Feng Jun in check. They were usually well-behaved, only causing minor disturbances. However, since Qin Xian arrived, the local aristocracy in Donghai had be restless…


    —


    At the Divine Revtion Temple in Donghai City, Lin Feng arrived at the temple entrance alone. The Divine Revtion Temple was the most magnificent structure in Donghai City, resembling a giant spire.


    The temple upied several square miles, and there were a dozenrge screens in the za at the entrance, disying candidates’ schedules and information.


    Lin Feng noticed that not only police officers were maintaining order around the temple but also security officers from the Security Committee, wearing badges and exuding an intimidating aura, were stationed at various corners.


    The atmosphere was solemn.


    In the temple’s grand hall, representatives from various universities appeared, all exuding a profound presence, clearly high-level professionals.


    These were the examiners from the universities. Besides them, there was a dignified supervisory team present. The college entrance examination was one of the fairest ways to assess talent in the human world.


    There was almost no possibility of cheating. As long as you had the strength and talent, you could enter a top university, soaring to new heights regardless of your background.


    However, Lin Feng paid little attention to the university officials. He searched the hall for one particr person—a person he deeply hated.
