Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Previously, Xu Yaoguang didn’t care about who Qin Ran was.

He also didn’t care if she was left-handed.

So, although he had been surprised to see her drawing on the bulletin board with her right hand, he had just ignored it.

He thought of it now.

Qin Ran wasn’t left-handed at all!

Xu Yaoguang closed his eyes. Now that the details were pieced together, it seemed easier to understand. Qin Ran wrote extremely slowly with her left hand as if she was a beginner.

Putting down his chopsticks, he crossed out the “QR 280+” on the paper and wrote another question mark.

If her left hand was 280, what about her right hand?

Qiao Sheng was playing a game when he saw Xu Yaoguang put down his chopsticks. After noticing his relaxed expression, Qiao Sheng leaned over.

He couldn’t tell what it was.

The lines drawn by Xu Yaoguang were too strange.

Qiao Sheng wasn’t a professional player and had no concept of the hand speed. Even if Meng Xinran was put with someone else, he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a hand speed of 500+ and 200+.

“Qiao Sheng, Young Master Xu, aren’t you leaving?” Xu Yaoguang’s bedroom door was opened. He Wen called from the opposite while leaning against the door frame.

“Wait,” Qiao Sheng said. He looked up and pointed at Xu Yaoguang. “Young Master Xu hasn’t eaten…”

“I’m done.” Xu Yaoguang stood up directly and threw the rest of the rice into the rubbish bin. Then, he took the paper and followed them to the classroom.

The school’s medical office.

When Cheng Juan came back from Lu Zhaoying, who was carrying milk tea, Qin Ran was leaning on the side of the table, observing the grass in the glass dish that was almost dehydrated.

“Miss Qin.” Cheng Mu brought a cup of tea to Qin Ran and then pointed to the grass in the glass dish. He lowered his voice and asked, “Is this Daylily yours?”

Qin Ran stood with her back to the window. The sun was shining brightly, but she felt cold.

She turned her head against the light and raised an eyebrow. “What did you just call it?”

“Daylily. It’s only available at the auction house.” Cheng Mu thought for a while and then asked, “Did Master Juan give it to you?”

“Oh.” Qin Ran nodded casually and then said lazily, “My deskmate gave it to me. It smells good.”

It helped her sleep well.

“Your deskmate?” Cheng Mu immediately thought of the naive Lin Siran and was a little confused. “How could it be?”

He took two steps and picked up Cheng Juan’s glass bottle on the table.

After turning it around, he still couldn’t find the code number.

It was probably fake…

Cheng Mu originally thought that it was Cheng Juan who had given it to Qin Ran, but now that he knew it was fake, he treated it casually.

Lu Zhaoying kicked the door open and sat down on the dining table. Then, he propped his legs up and handed the milk tea to Qin Ran. “Qin Ran, are you really friends with Pan Mingyue?”

One was cold, evil, and even had the sense of a cynical and unruly gangster.

One was obedient, quiet, and looked like a good student at one glance.

He couldn’t see how they could be friends.

Qin Ran poked a straw into the milk tea and casually bit it. “Yeah.”

“She must have good eyesight.” Lu Zhaoying laughed as he picked up his chopsticks.

Qin Ran, who had been drinking the milk tea, heard this and suddenly looked up. Her eyes were cold as she raised a light eyebrow. “Don’t provoke her.”

Her tone was very serious.

Lu Zhaoying remembered that after knowing Qin Ran for so long, she was agile and only got injured because of Pan Mingyue. “You’re protecting her?”

Qin Ran continued to drink the milk tea, and no matter what Lu Zhaoying asked next, she kept quiet.

After a long while, Lu Zhaoying seemed to hear a light and fleeting word—

The voice was too low, but he probably heard the word “sin”, although it wasn’t clear.

After washing his hands, Cheng Juan walked over with the slight odor of the disinfectant. He paused when he came in.

Lu Zhaoying opened his mouth and was about to ask something to clear matters up.

Cheng Juan put his hand on the chair, pulled it out, glanced lightly at him, and said, “Go wash your hands.”

After dinner, Qin Ran continued to lie on the table and practice her writing. Writing slowly with her left hand while supporting her chin with her right hand, her good-looking face was full of impatience, making her look very unruly.

She took another sip of the milk tea that she hadn’t finished, bit the straw, and tilted her head.

Cheng Juan was polishing glass inside. He wasn’t very professional and half sat on the table while holding the glass with his long, clean fingers.

His eyebrows were lowered and he seemed a little lazy and relaxed.

Cheng Mu saw that Qin Ran stopped halfway and felt like her spirits seemed low today.

“Look at how meticulous Master Juan is, it’s as if the Daylily is real.” Cheng Mu moved a stool and sat down next to Lu Zhaoying. He held his phone and sent a message to Cheng Jin.

Lu Zhaoying was looking at the tickets for this Saturday’s exhibition game and counting the time left to head to Beijing. “What Daylily?”

“Oh, it’s what the Old Master wears all year round. I don’t know the specifics, but last year, I accompanied Chairman Cheng to the auction site. It wasn’t expensive—about 4.7 million—and it lasted less than a month,” Cheng Mu said lightly.

Lu Zhaoying paused and thought that Cheng Mu was probably high. How was 4.7 million not expensive?

Even large companies found it difficult to have a flow of 4.7 million in a month.

“But Miss Qin’s should be fake.” Cheng Mu thought for a while and lowered his voice. “I didn’t see a code on it.”

He had bought it with Chairman Cheng before, so he was naturally very clear that this kind of external sales generally had a clear code to prevent counterfeiting.

Qin Ran finished practicing her writing slowly, then pulled her hat on her head and went to class 3.9.

Cheng Juan finished polishing the glass and put it aside. Then, he pulled open the glass door and came out.

He leaned on the chair she was sitting on and reached out to flip through her notebook.

Her handwriting had indeed improved a lot.

After a long while, he flexed his fingers, knocked on the table, and said, “Cheng Mu, I want to look through 712’s information again.”

Cheng Mu went to get the information.

Cheng Juan turned directly to one page and stared at it for a long time.

This was the page that had Qin Ran’s name previously.

“I couldn’t find Lao Yao’s daughter. She appeared at the scene, but the last piece of information is already here.” Cheng Mu glanced at it solemnly. “I guess it was the Poison Wolf’s revenge. The Poison Wolf group aren’t good people. Otherwise, they were probably very well protected. But… the latter is unlikely.”

Nobody would go to this extent for the daughter of a drug police officer, right?

She wasn’t even a big character.

The Poison Wolf group had always been ruthless. After investigating for a long time with Hao Dui, they only managed to find the origin of their stronghold in Yun Cheng.

Yao Weilin (suffocated to death)

Yao Weilin’s wife (suffocated to death)

Yao Weilin’s daughter (unknown)

There were three pits at the scene and one pit wasn’t buried. Some people speculated that Yao Weilin’s daughter had been buried there previously.

From beginning to end, Yao Weilin’s daughter’s name wasn’t revealed, nor did the Information Bureau have any news on her.

Cheng Juan leaned back, reached out to cover his eyes, and said lightly, “Cheng Mu, have you ever heard of the multiple-choice question for the train track?

“Suppose there was a speeding train in the distance. There are two tracks in front—one tied to one person and the other tied to two people. Two of these three people are particularly respected by you, and one is your friend. You’re only given ten seconds to choose to save one side with the remote control. How would you choose?”

Cheng Mu froze. “You probably want me to choose between you, Young Master Lu, and Cheng Jin?”

Then, he frowned. “I won’t do it.”

“If you don’t do it, the three of us will die together.” Cheng Juan looked away from the window, his voice low.

“In the end, you want to choose between killing two people or one?” Cheng Mu paused, and then said quietly, “Master Juan, you’re so cruel.”

Even if he really chose, he would go crazy.

Cheng Juan slowly closed his eyes and clenched his hands on the table. He leaned on the back of the chair and stopped talking.

When Qin Ran got to class 3.9, afternoon self-study had already ended.

Lin Siran was writing on her Physics paper and was almost done. When she saw Qin Ran, she immediately passed her the paper. “Copy it quickly, Young Master Xu will come to collect the paper later.”

Qin Ran didn’t really want to write.

But since Lin Siran said so, she just took a pen and slowly copied Lin Siran’s answer to her Physics paper.

When Xu Yaoguang collected the paper, Lin Siran looked up and explained it to Xu Yaoguang.

Previously, when he saw Qin Ran copying, Xu Yaoguang would leave without a word and not care if she handed it in.

But today, he stopped out of the blue and waited for her to finish copying without the slightest hint of impatience.

Lin Siran was a little surprised but didn’t say anything. She turned sideways and looked at Qin Ran’s paper in surprise with one hand on her chin. “Ran Ran, your handwriting has really improved. It looks pretty good.”

Qin Ran’s handwriting with her left hand had always been particularly slow and wasn’t very good-looking.

Recently, Lin Siran found that her handwriting had gotten better and better. She wrote stroke by stroke profoundly and even had her own style, not like the words of an elementary school student at all.

Qin Ran finished writing and handed the paper to Xu Yaoguang.

Xu Yaoguang glanced down at it and saw that her handwriting had improved more than just a little.

Her handwriting had not changed in the past ten years, so how would it have changed so much in the short course of two months?

Xu Yaoguang put her paper on the top and pursed his lips. It was because she rarely used her left hand to write previously.

He handed the papers to the physics teacher.

Then, he went back to his seat, took out his mobile phone, and searched for Yang Fei on Weibo. He clicked on qr’s homepage through the link on Yang Fei’s Weibo.

Other than this person, Xu Yaoguang really couldn’t think of anyone else who could make Yang Fei say this person was “better” than him.

Qin Ran met almost all the criteria.

Except for one criterion: her hand speed. When she competed against Meng Xinran last night, Xu Yaoguang had noticed that Qin Ran’s hand speed was only 280+.

Everything could be hidden, but hand speed couldn’t.

But now…

Xu Yaoguang held a pen and drew lines below Q, QR, and qr.

Lowering his head, his eyes flickered. His fingers clenched slightly and shook a little.

“Ran Ran, where’s the grass around your neck?” Lin Siran pulled out her mathematics materials and turned her head over.

Qin Ran leaned slightly against the wall with her beautiful eyebrows lowered and in low spirits. “I let someone make a specimen.”

“Just throw it away if it’s spoiled. We have a lot of those at home.” Lin Siran thought for a moment and whispered in embarrassment, “My father is a flower farmer.”

“Oh.” Qin Ran nodded. “You’ve seen my father before, he’s a construction worker.”

Gao Yang walked into the class from the corridor with materials in his hands.

After class, he knocked on Qin Ran’s table and motioned for her to follow him.

“This is the three-day leave you asked for.” Gao Yang handed the notice of absence note to Qin Ran.

“Thank you, teacher.” Qin Ran took it and looked down at it. The note had been approved.

Qin Ran put away the note and walked to her seat.

Xu Yaoguang also took out a piece of paper. “Teacher Gao, I want to take leave.”

This was strange, they were asking for leave one after another. Gao Yang clipped his materials under his armpit. “How many days?”

“From next Monday to Wednesday, three days.” Xu Yaoguang handed Gao Yang a note with the reason for the leave application written on it.

Gao Yang took it and said casually, “Monday to Wednesday?”

It was the same time as Qin Ran’s leave.

He looked down and saw that Xu Yaoguang had written a detailed reason for his leave. He was going back to Beijing.

Qin Ran had been more carefree and had written two very arrogant words: Private business.

She didn’t even write anything to coax Gao Yang.

Xu Yaoguang nodded and didn’t explain more.

Gao Yang reached out and gave him a note.

After school in the afternoon, Qiao Sheng took his basketball, bounced it a few times, and waited for Xu Yaoguang to come out.

Xu Yaoguang held his mobile phone and didn’t leave immediately.

He looked up and saw that Qin Ran was still sitting on the seat. She supported her chin with one hand and flipped through her books, very visibly impatient.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Yaoguang pulled back his chair and stood up.

Qiao Sheng originally thought Xu Yaoguang was coming out, but he didn’t expect him to walk directly towards Qin Ran with his mobile phone.

“Hey, Young Master Xu!” Qiao Sheng stood up straight and immediately chased him.

Xu Yaoguang ignored him. He enlarged the photo he had kept on his phone and placed it in front of Qin Ran.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Ran held her book in her hand and turned over a little impatiently.

Qiao Sheng frowned and glanced over. The enlarged photo on Xu Yaoguang’s phone wasn’t very clear. The pixels weren’t good and it was probably from a few years ago.

There was a person’s back in the picture. She was wearing black clothes that looked like the OST uniform and had a cap on her head.

The face couldn’t be seen, and even from the back view, her casual nature could be seen.

“Is it you?” Xu Yaoguang put both hands on the table. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes emotionless. “Q.”
