Rebirth in the 1980s: Xiaoxiao's road to becoming a top student

As Yan Xiaoxiao watched, her brows began to frown.

The reason why she thought these people were scientists from Country C was because of their dress and language.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn’t know them before, but there was one person she knew, that was Zhou Tingshen who was on the list, but he was not on the list.

Yan Xiaoxiao counted and found that there were indeed five people, three young ones and two older ones.

Yan Xiaoxiao believed that Zhou Tingshen had changed in the past ten years, but it was impossible for her not to recognize him. At least there would be some shadows of his childhood.

But she looked carefully at the three young men, and none of them was him.

"Do you know the trapped scientist?"

"I don't know them. I've only seen their photos. Two of them are senior professors from the Academy of Sciences, and the other three are young up-and-coming talents. What's wrong?"

Yan Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes; something was wrong.

"go back!"

"Hmm?" Wu Lang frowned. They finally got here, why should they go back? And time was so tight, maybe there would be no chance tomorrow.

"It might be a trap! The person is not here at all."

Wu Lang was in deep thought. Although he didn't know how Yan Xiaoxiao knew that the person was not here, he decided to trust her considering her ability.

In order to ensure that she had searched the entire old house, Yan Xiaoxiao directed Wu Lang to drive the car to the other side and use his spiritual sense to carefully observe. Finally, he came to the conclusion that there were no other people from Country C in the entire old house except those five people.

The two left quickly and parked the car at the same place they came from.

When they entered the room through the window, Yu Ren came over and asked, "How is it?"

Wang Lei carefully opened the door, looked outside, then walked out pretending to smoke, closed the door, and leaned against the wall to light a cigarette.

Yan Xiaoxiao answered him while finding a pen and paper and began to draw quickly on the paper, "The person should not be there."

Yu Ren didn't know what to say for a moment. Why wasn't he here?

He knew that the National Security Agency had made great efforts to obtain the address of the trapped researchers and had even used many secret lines.

Wu Lang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Yan Xiaoxiao quickly drew the appearance of several scientists she had just seen and handed it to Wu Lang.

It was actually her negligence. When she looked at the information of several people, there were no photos on them. She was so shocked to see Zhou Tingshen's name that she didn't think of asking for photos of them.

Wu Lang looked at the pictures one by one, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "No, the people you drew are not the ones we are looking for."

Yan Xiaoxiao sneered, "That's it, I'm afraid the old house doesn't have the person we are looking for."

Wu Lang's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. The information he received was wrong. There were two possibilities. One was that Ito Saburo deliberately released false information, and the other was that the lurking person betrayed him.

Either possibility is not a good thing, but he hoped it was the first one.

Yu Ren also thought of this and reminded the two, "Don't contact the undercover personnel from now on, and pay attention to your safety."

Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Can we arrange a meeting place for the people who are hiding this time? I have a way to tell whether they have betrayed or not."

"Okay, pass the news to me when you get it. There are three people involved in this. I will contact them right away." Wu Lang went down to make arrangements.

Yan Xiaoxiao returned to her room.

The next morning, after breakfast, they were taken to a school not far from the hotel. This was the venue for the math competition.

Today's competition was the team competition preliminaries, and as soon as Yan Xiaoxiao and her friends entered, they were blasted in the face by the camera.

Sitting in her country's seat, Yan Xiaoxiao looked up and saw a large surveillance camera above her head.

She looked around and found that there were quite a few countries participating in the competition, at least twenty or so. People from each country were arranged to sit together, with a distance of at least two meters between countries.

I don’t know if the cameraman was warned in advance, but Yan Xiaoxiao and the others were being filmed the whole time, as if they were afraid that they would cheat.

Each country participating in the competition has four participants, and they were given four sets of papers.

The first thing Yan Xiaoxiao did when she got the test papers was to look at each set of questions. She then divided the test papers among Feng Ze, Pei Hongying and Zhao Zifeng according to each person's level, and kept the most difficult set for herself.

Difficulty is relative, and it is the same for Yan Xiaoxiao. She worked on the questions very quickly. Although she did not try her best this time, she still gave it 80% of her strength and finished it quickly.

Since it is a team competition, helping teammates is allowed.

Yan Xiaoxiao leaned over to look at Zhao Zifeng's test paper, wrote down the questions he didn't know on a piece of paper, and asked him to copy them on the test paper.

Yan Xiaoxiao also used her spiritual sense to see Feng Ze and Pei Hongying's papers, and wrote down the questions they didn't know on the paper.

With the help of Yan Xiaoxiao, the four of them finished answering the questions quickly. After Yan Xiaoxiao checked and confirmed that there were no problems, Feng Ze directly pressed the button to submit the paper. Once this button was pressed, the questions on the test paper could no longer be changed.

Yan Xiaoxiao and her classmates were the first to hand in their papers. The teacher who collected the papers looked at them strangely and then took the papers away.

They were told that they could not leave the campus before the end of the test time to avoid missing any questions.

Yan Xiaoxiao and her friends had no choice but to wander around the campus.

The old house of the Ito family.

Ito Saburo and the family elders were watching Yan Xiaoxiao and their every move through surveillance.

"Is it this little girl? She doesn't look that good?" One of the elders said with disdain. He picked up the red wine on the table and took a sip. There was no respect in his eyes for Ito Saburo.

Originally, after Ito Ichiro's death, he had the greatest hope of inheriting the position of family head, but one does not know what the first and second elders were thinking to let a cowardly and incompetent person take over his position, while he could only be the eighth elder without real power.

The Great Elder stared at Yan Xiaoxiao closely, as if trying to see what was different about her.

Ito Saburo sneered, his eyes never leaving the screen, "It was this little girl who killed most of the shadows we trained."

"How can you be sure it was her? Weren't there elites from Country C's army who went in with her?"

The Eighth Elder now dislikes Ito Saburo so much that he never hesitates to criticize him whenever he gets the chance to contradict him.

"How can you be sure?" Ito Saburo's expression was very strange, and his voice was so low that it could not be heard. "Of course I saw it with my own eyes!"

The Eighth Elder didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?"

Ito Saburo glanced at him sideways, and it was this glance that made him feel as if he saw Ito Ichiro ten years ago, and the hairs on his body stood up.

He was still very scared when he thought of that madman. Fortunately, that man died in Country C and even his body was not found.

However, Saburo and he are brothers. He used to be timid and cowardly, but he became stronger and stronger after Ito Ichiro's death, especially after he became the head of the family. He was like a different person. Sometimes he always had the illusion that he was facing Ito Ichiro.

Ito Saburo no longer paid attention to the Eighth Elder. In his eyes, this man was just a clown. He stared at Yan Xiaoxiao in the surveillance camera with burning eyes.

In the surveillance video, Yan Xiaoxiao turned her head as if she had noticed something, and their eyes met across the screen.
