Chapter 425: Inspection Time
“Old Liu, when did Hua Bao get so incredibly strong?” Lin Xuan couldn’t help but ask.
She was terrifying, even surpassing many grown men.
Even he, who relied on spatial training for stamina and martial arts, along with the ten-ingredient restorative soup Butler Wang prepared for him, could barely match Hua Bao.
The driver thoughtfully replied, “I only became a shadow guard at Night Garden four years ago. When I arrived, Miss was already very powerful. But I’ve also heard from other guards that seven years ago, when Miss first returned to the Su family, she was already exceptionally strong.”
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but think of the Shang Organization.
Assassins, drug-enhanced warriors.
Could it be that Hua Bao’s monstrous abilities were all trained within the Shang Organization?
Lin Xuan’s heart filled with worry just thinking about it.
Just hearing Zhao Long recount her experiences made his scalp tingle; what Hua Bao had endured must have been far worse than what Zhao Long described.
The driver dropped Lin Xuan off at Shangqing University.
Wang Dahé raised an eyebrow. “This is rare, Brother Xuan, you actually came to school.”
Lin Xuan exhaled a long breath of stale air.
He didn’t want to come either.
But there was a little devil at home, so he had no choice but to visit the school.
Wang Dahé, noticing the dark circles under Lin Xuan’s eyes, couldn’t help but tease, “It’s been three days since Lin Li’s wedding. You look like you’ve been completely drained. Could it be that Su Zong squeezed you dry for three nights straight?”
Lin Xuan: “…”
And he guessed correctly.
Before Lin Xuan could respond, Wang Dahé shook his head. “That’s nearly impossible. Even managing two or three hours in that department would be considered superhuman. Several days? That’s absurd.”
Lin Xuan gave Wang Dahé a weary look.
Hua Bao was indeed not human.
A new professor entered the classroom. The school had introduced Lin Xuan to him with great emphasis.
They told him Lin Xuan was their prized student—someone they couldn’t afford to offend. No matter what Lin Xuan did, they had to let him do as he pleased.
After all, Lin Xuan was both Su Hua’s man and possessed incredible computer skills—definitely a precious asset.
The school leaders even showed the professor Lin Xuan’s photo.
The professor immediately recognized Lin Xuan.
Impressive, he thought. A student capable of solving Olympiad-level problems still bothers to attend class despite having the privilege to skip whenever he wants.
The professor turned on the projector, ready to lecture.
A wave of drowsiness swept over everyone.
Lin Xuan yawned. “Young Master, I’m going to take a nap now. Don’t disturb me unless it’s urgent.”
With that, he laid his head down on the desk and fell asleep.
The professor, who had just praised Lin Xuan: “…”
Too soon.
He slept through the first class. What was the point of coming to school if he was just going to sleep?
During the first period, Lin Xuan slept soundly.
In the second period, Lin Xuan slept deeply.
After finishing the second class, with no more classes scheduled, he went back to the dormitory and continued sleeping.
During the first class in the afternoon, he slept again.
Seeing Lin Xuan sleeping so deeply, Wang Dahé couldn’t help but wonder how thoroughly Su Zong had exhausted him.
Su Hua appeared at Shangqing University under the guise of an inspection.
The principal hurried over to her side.
“Ms. Su,” he said in a fawning tone, “Why didn’t you inform me you’d be coming? I would have come to welcome you.”
Su Hua merely glanced at the principal without speaking.
“Ms. Su, it’s currently class time. All the students in the senior computer science class are in session. Would you like to observe the students’ learning environment?” The principal smiled warmly.
He knew Su Hua wasn’t concerned about whether Shangqing University was profitable or its general condition.
She came here solely for Lin Xuan.
Upon learning of Su Hua’s arrival, he called to check on Lin Xuan’s whereabouts and was relieved to find him in class.
“Alright,” Su Hua nodded.
Thus, Su Hua, accompanied by Jiang Qing and a group of school leaders, marched grandly toward Lin Xuan’s classroom.
Inside, the professor was passionately lecturing while the students listened attentively, none playing with their phones.
Noticing the principal standing at the classroom door, the professor paused mid-lecture.
“Review what I just covered,” the professor instructed before heading to the door.
“Principal,” the professor greeted.
“Come here for a moment.”
The principal led the professor to Su Hua.
“Professor Wang, this is your first time teaching at our school, so you might not know yet,” the principal began, gesturing to Su Hua, “This is the largest shareholder of our university, Ms. Su, and also the president of Suzhou Group.”
President of Suzhou Group?
The professor’s eyes widened.
Holy crap!
On his very first day, he met such a big shot?
Many people wanted to work for Suzhou Group, including himself. Unfortunately, the company attracted global talents, and his abilities weren’t up to par, so he was rejected.
“S-Su President, hello,” the professor stammered nervously.
“Hmm,” Su Hua responded casually.
“Professor Wang, don’t be nervous. Ms. Su is just here for an inspection, casually taking a look around,” the principal reassured kindly.
Of course, Ms. Su wasn’t here for an inspection; she was here for Student Lin Xuan.
If it weren’t for Lin Xuan, Ms. Su wouldn’t have come to their school.
“Okay.”
Even after hearing the principal’s explanation, the professor wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Are all the students in your class present today?” Su Hua asked.
“Yes, all of them are here,” the professor answered.
“Is that so?”
Su Hua’s lips curved into a faint smile.
Just as she suspected, Ah Xuan was hiding out at school.
Does Ah Xuan really think he can avoid her?
“I’ll go check if they’re studying diligently,” Su Hua stated.
The professor couldn’t help but think.
This Ms. Su is truly dedicated.
“Rest assured, Ms. Su. The students in my class are absolutely focused on studying,” the professor assured confidently.
“Really?” Su Hua’s elegant eyebrows arched slightly.
Isn’t Ah Xuan here to sleep?
“Absolutely—”
Before the professor could finish, Lin Xuan’s image popped into his mind.
Wait!
How could he forget Student Lin Xuan?
“I’ll go check if all the students are indeed studying diligently, as you say,” Su Hua said, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
The professor’s brain was racing.
The school had emphasized that Lin Xuan was their treasured student.
No way.
Absolutely cannot let Ms. Su see Lin Xuan sleeping, or else if Lin Xuan gets expelled by Ms. Su, what will happen?
This top-tier genius who solved the Olympiad problem must not be expelled!

Thank you to Gu Nian, the elementary schooler who stays up all night reading novels, Xiao Bo Man Tian, Tang Banli, and other treasures for their gifts.
Can’t speed race anymore; the chapter with bananas drove me crazy too, wailing.
Treasures, goodnight and sweet dreams.
