Chapter 235: Finally Know the Horrors of Miss Qin

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cheng Mu had come out at this time to go get Qin Ran’s flowers from the gardener.

Although he was always in special training recently, he didn’t dare leave the job assigned to him by Cheng Juan. He observed the state of the potted plant every morning, day and night.

He was prepared to head to the garden to check on Qin Ran’s flowers again.

At first, the gardener wanted to help Cheng Mu after seeing him come back and forth a few times a day, but he had rejected him.

Gu Xichi’s robot was no secret, and neither Cheng Juan nor Qin Ran had specifically told him anything.

Thus, he replied calmly to Cheng Huo’s question and glanced at the two of them.

Cheng Huo and Jerry were rooted in place, their expressions no different than before.

Cheng Mu turned back disappointedly.

He thought Cheng Huo would be shocked.

Cheng Mu turned around regretfully and said blankly, “Then I’ll go find the gar...”

Before he could finish the word “gardener”—

“Boom”!

He was punched fiercely on the head in an unpredicted attack. Stumbling, Cheng Mu almost slipped and died on the spot!

Fortunately, he was numb from being beaten often and didn’t feel much except for the pain.

He just turned his head stiffly, staring at Cheng Huo with a pair of dark eyes.

Cheng Huo scratched his head and circled Cheng Mu several times. He couldn’t resist it and poked Cheng Mu’s head. “You already knew Xiao Hei, but you didn’t f*cking tell me?”

A robot identical to Xiao Hei called Xiao Er.

EA had only produced three robots. One was for the Queen, one was with them, and the last one had never been announced before.

That EA2 was probably the Xiao Er that Qin Ran’s friend had.

All these coincidences made Cheng Huo certain that Qin Ran was the core identity of the Yunguang Consortium.

So they had knocked on the wrong door and wasted so much time for nothing?

Cheng Mu clearly knew this but hadn’t said anything. Cheng Huo continued glancing faintly at him.

“This.” Cheng Mu rubbed his head and looked unapologetically at Cheng Huo. He played the profound thinker and said, “When I first came to the manor and saw you guys, this was also how I felt.”

After talking, he finally straightened his waist and walked out of the gate.

Cheng Huo was speechless.

He couldn’t be bothered now, he would get back at him after solving the code!

Jerry leaned on his cane and only reacted after Cheng Mu had left for a long time. He turned to Cheng Huo and asked, “Mr... Mr. Cheng Huo, is Miss Qin really a core person?”

The content of these codes was very obscure. Normally, Jerry didn’t believe that there would be a source code without any loophole, but he really directly felt the sense of loss this past week.

After receiving a few reminders from Tang Qing, they had spent a week devoting all of the information hall’s manpower to solving the simulator. However, they couldn’t even successfully crack the simulator code, much less the three more esoteric source code sections.

Only by contrast could Jerry and Cheng Huo feel Qin Ran’s incredible attainments in this aspect.

“No... No wonder...” Jerry couldn’t understand why Cheng Juan had brought back a weak woman before. Everyone respected her, but he had felt extremely unconvinced.

Now, Jerry finally knew the horrors of Qin Ran...

No way was she a simple character...

No wonder Cheng Mu and Cheng Shui were so respectful to her.

Taking a deep breath, Jerry turned to stare passionately at Cheng Huo. “Mr. Cheng Huo, have we gotten a dark horse in our information hall?!”

Was this kind of God within their reach?

Cheng Huo returned to his senses and nodded absent-mindedly. Then, he looked down at the printed photo in his hand.

This was Qian Dui’s technician.

Cheng Huo was in charge of the management registration of the new and old members of the Hacker Alliance, so the technician’s withdrawal application report had also been handled by him.

Few people would withdraw from the Hacker Alliance.

So he had gained a deep impression after seeing the withdrawal application of the technician. He had asked Cheng Mu about him before but had forgotten it out of anger towards Cheng Mu.

“Let’s go.” Cheng Huo soothed his chest and looked at Jerry. “I’ll give you the code first.”

Of course, if these two people knew that not only was Qin Ran the core member but that the red poppy flower mark also came from her, Cheng Huo might really run away from home.

Early the next morning.

Mr. Lu returned to China early in the morning.

Tang Qing didn’t receive any notice, and only Qin Ran sent Mr. Lu out along with Cheng Juan.

“Don’t you have any enemies in Continent M?” Mr. Lu lowered his head to wrap his scarf around him. Instead of looking at Qin Ran, he turned to Cheng Juan instead.

Cheng Juan looked up and replied calmly, “No, no one dares to mess with us.”

Mr. Lu: “... I see.”

He put his hand on the back door and was about to get on the car. Before leaving, he turned to look at Cheng Juan and Qin Ran again. This young man was indeed good-looking. No wonder Grandma Chen had taken a liking to him.

After thinking for a while, he said nothing and got in the manor’s car to leave.

Cheng Juan bid his farewell very politely. “Uncle Lu, goodbye.”

Behind them, Cheng Huo felt his heart tremble when he saw the car leave. He turned to ask Cheng Shui, “This Mr. Lu probably came here specifically for Miss Qin, right?”

He had been so indifferent towards Tang Qing, so it didn’t seem like he had come for her.

He didn’t even say goodbye to Tang Qing when he left. It looked like Mr. Lu’s relationship with his family wasn’t particularly good.

Cheng Shui withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Cheng Huo. He said slowly, “That goes without saying.”

“What assessment are you having here?” Once Mr. Lu’s car was out of sight, Qin Ran turned towards Cheng Juan.

Recently, she had heard the word “assessment” the most.

There were less than ten days left.

It was close to year-end and Qin Ran felt like this assessment was a little like her final examination.

Cheng Juan also withdrew his gaze. He reached out to tighten the scarf around her neck and said lightly, “It’s an assessment based on various competitions to recruit newcomers.”

This was an annual event in the old castle and was an extremely lively event. This time, Qin Ran had come in time for the assessment.

“Then it should be fun...” Qin Ran put her hands behind her head and said thoughtfully.

On the side, Cheng Huo listened to her and felt shivers run down his spine for some reason.

The two men exchanged glances and couldn’t help remembering the horrible score of 1321 in the training room on the first floor...

**

More than a week later.

Cheng Huo stayed in his room for nine days without coming out and finally managed to figure out some parts of the three sections of source code.

First, he notified Jerry by telephone, then took the computer straight to the training ground.

When he entered, Cheng Mu was fighting with Shi Liming.

After a quick glance, Cheng Huo found Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, please help me go to the information hall to see the operation procedure!”

He opened the laptop and glanced at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran reached for her coat and nodded. “Sure, I’ll go with you.”

Overjoyed, Cheng Huo quickly took her to the information hall.

After he walked out of the gate of the training ground, he suddenly realized that when Cheng Mu and Shi Liming were fighting against each other...

He didn’t seem to see Cheng Mu going on the offense...

Shaking his head, Cheng Huo felt like he hadn’t slept well for so many days and must have hallucinated. He took Qin Ran to the information hall directly.

Tang Qing had been in an irritable mood these days. Mr. Lu had left without bidding farewell to her.

She had also realized that her uncle hadn’t come for her.

What was more annoying was that her uncle hadn’t even given her any other solo instructions. For the past nine days, she had stayed in the information hall studying the code, but except for the simulator given by her uncle, she had had almost no progress!

She was depressed and still had to prepare for tomorrow’s assessment.

She only just returned to the information hall from the training ground when she saw several people surrounding Qin Ran.

Even Cheng Huo and Jerry, whom she hadn’t seen for many days, were there.

“It should be fine. Your boss is looking for me, I’ll go back first.” Qin Ran glanced at the code and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the three pieces of code. Then, she shook her phone towards Cheng Huo.

Cheng Huo put down his computer. “Wait, Miss Qin, I’ll come with you!”

He hurriedly left with her.

Few people saw Tang Qing enter through the door. When had the arrogant Tang Qing ever been in contempt?

Pursing her lips, she lowered her eyebrows and sat down at her computer.

She saw the series of codes on her computer page.

“What code is this?” She squinted and scrolled through it. There were only two pages. She turned and asked the man on the computer desk beside her.

The man looked up and said, “According to Mr. Cheng Huo, Miss Qin wrote part of the code. Just now, Mr. Cheng Huo sent it to everyone’s computer for us to study.”

“Her?”

Tang Qing sneered and clicked directly onto the editor page. Without any hesitation, she deleted the codes one by one.
