Chapter 35: Report, there are spies here!

After sending off unrelated outsiders, the campus of Ha Gong Da returned to the normal look of a university campus; during class time, the campus was quiet, with occasionally one or two students passing by, hurrying, holding books in their arms.

This scene should have felt peaceful and tranquil, but…… Pan Muyang did not!

His heart was full of anger, his fists clenched tightly!

In recent years, relations with the old Maozi (Russia) had grown close, so the foreign language taught domestically was Russian; these years, with reform and opening up, his English‑major talent was in high demand—wherever he went, as long as he translated for foreign guests, he received preferential treatment.

Over time, he developed an illusion that his status was as noble as a foreigner's; he even fantasized about entering Western high society someday and living a life of superiority.

Today he was utterly jerked out of his fantasy—he was merely a lowly translator, and even got bullied by a Ha Gong Da student!

Unbeknownst to him, the setting sun fell on his body, making his silhouette appear even more lonely.

When the end‑of‑class bell rang, students began to stream out of the teaching building, heading for the cafeteria.

Pan Muyang's stomach let out a gurgle, and only then did he realize he was hungry too.

What to do? Go out to eat? As a translator for foreign guests, he never lacked the national grain coupons and meal money, and even had large surpluses each month—a cushy job—but……

Instead of going out to eat, he would just eat at the Ha Gong Da cafeteria and, incidentally, ask students about Qin Miao—that guy shows no respect to foreign guests at all, and surely acts arrogantly on campus; if he could dig up some of Qin Miao's misdeeds, he could file a better complaint when he returned!

He could even incite the students here to write a denunciation letter—Qin Miao would surely die!

Just then, a female student walked up from ahead, holding books in her hands—clearly a diligent student.

"Hello, classmate, could you do me a favor?" Pan Muyang tried to make himself appear more elegant.

Whoosh!

Behind the girl, a boy suddenly sprang out, blocking her path: "Who are you? What do you want? You don't look like you're from our Ha Gong Da, do you? Miaomiao, you go first!"

Chu Miaomiao blinked, then reacted: "Zhao Wanli, you don't need to make such a fuss—our school is safe now; even clothes left outside aren't stolen."

"Two classmates, I'm not a bad person—I'm from the Capital Foreign Affairs Department, and this is my work ID." Pan Muyang produced his ID and waved it before them: "I'm here at your Ha Gong Da on official business; I'm just hungry now—could you take me to the cafeteria? Also, I don't have your cafeteria's grain coupons; can I pay with money and exchange for national grain coupons?"

"No problem at all." Chu Miaomiao said, pulling out her grain coupons: "My coupons are more than I'll ever use—I'll give you a few taels." Forget it—I'll go with Zhao Wanli to bring you in and get you a meal; our Ha Gong Da students are all living Lei Fengs!

Zhao Wanli's heart leapt with joy: "Exactly, let's go—together!"

"All right, thank you." Pan Muyang was also in high spirits.

Having entered the serving area, Chu Miaomiao smiled: "Translator comrade, just sit here; we two will go get your meal."

"How could I accept that?"

"It's fine. Just sit; do you have any food taboos?"

"None."

Zhao Wanli followed behind Chu Miaomiao, hopping along, feeling that the food in this cafeteria smelled even better than before.

"Zhao Wanli, this person is suspicious! Later, we two will detain him and then have classmates call the Security Section over."

Zhao Wanli froze instantly; when this person first appeared and suddenly blocked Chu Miaomiao, he worried for her safety and rushed forward—but upon seeing the other's ID, he relaxed.

Who would have thought Chu Miaomiao would still be suspicious?

"Why?"

"The Capital Foreign Affairs Department is a very high‑ranking unit; someone like him coming to our Ha Gong Da should be accompanied by a department head or a section chief—yet he's wandering around campus alone, which is absolutely abnormal!"

"Exactly—why didn't I think of that!" Zhao Wanli wanted to smack his own head hard.

"Hongguang! What dishes are you serving today?" As they spoke, they reached the serving window and happened to see Luo Hongguang dishing out meals; Zhao Wanli called out loudly, while Chu Miaomiao quietly explained the urgent situation beside him.

Luo Hongguang glanced at Pan Muyang at the nearby table, then nodded: "Understood!"

He carried the lunch box out slowly, then, after stepping outside, broke into a quick jog.

Here, Chu Miaomiao and Zhao Wanli returned with the served food; Pan Muyang exchanged pleasantries, ate a few bites, and finally steered the conversation to the main point.

"Does your school have a student named Qin Miao?"

"Yes……" Zhao Wanli was about to praise Qin Miao, but Chu Miaomiao's glance stopped him.

"There is indeed a Qin Miao; when school started, he got in through someone else's slot, and the news even made the People's Daily!... Are you inquiring about him because of that?"

"Ah? Yes, I only learned of him after seeing the People's Daily."

Chu Miaomiao and Zhao Wanli exchanged a look—no doubt, there's definitely something wrong! The People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency have nothing to do with each other.

"That college opportunity of his didn't come easy—does he have any violations of school discipline? Like being late, leaving early, skipping class, etc."

He's never been late or left early, because he never attended class at all! …But his skipping class was to teach other students—can the school discipline that?

"Exactly, he's done all those things!" Chu Miaomiao nodded.

"Then has he done other bad deeds? Like stealing chickens or dogs?"

Zhao Wanli nodded: "Yeah, he's done that!"

That rooster that had pecked him ended up in the stomachs of Qin Miao and Chu Miaomiao!

Pan Muyang became even more agitated: "What else has he done that's even more outrageous? Like sneaking into the girls' bathhouse to act lewd, or fighting and brawling?"

Chu Miaomiao's feelings were mixed; Qin Miao wasn't peeking secretly—he did it openly……

Boom boom boom…… Just then, two Security Section staff members entered, following Luo Hongguang.

"That's him!"

At that moment, Pan Muyang was still agitated when he saw two fierce‑looking people, holding electric batons!

"Comrade, this person is problematic!" Chu Miaomiao stood up: "He's very likely a spy who has infiltrated our Ha Gong Da!"

"Exactly, he's been constantly inquiring about Qin Miao's situation—he might be trying to steal important state secrets!" Zhao Wanli added.

"I……" Pan Muyang was somewhat dazed.

"Comrade, please come with us for a moment!"

"You dare arrest me? I'm from the Foreign Affairs Department, I'm here accompanying foreign guests! Ah……

The tip of the electric baton crackled with tiny sparks, then jabbed hard into Pan Muyang's body; he twitched a few times, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted!
