Chapter 462: Giant Crocodile Is Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Strange?” Old Master Tang lifted his hand to signal to the Lu family members to head in. He remained outside the door and asked, “What’s so strange about it?”
His subordinates were looking at the data on their laptops.
“We’ve managed to dig out information about most of them. But the information that was given by Madam Lu about your grand-niece is different from what we found out.” There was a pause from the voice before continuing, “Her personal and social information doesn’t match, but the information provided by Madam Lu shouldn’t be wrong…”
It wasn’t a rare occurrence in the hacking scene. If a hacker put in the effort to hide his identity, even the Interpol couldn’t find out.
But…
They couldn’t find anything about the information provided by Madam Lu.
“Give me the two sets of data,” Old Master Tang said as he walked indoors.
Madam Lu went to meet up with Qin Hanqiu after Old Master Tang was settled in.
Old Master Tang started to look at the printed data.
Some of the data was really specific, while some were vague.
There was information about Qin Hanqiu, Qin Ran, Qin Yu and Qin Ling. The information about Qin Hanqiu and Qin Yu was really specific.
Everything about Qin Yu was written. This included her examination results, her separating ties with Qin Hanqiu, and her getting kicked out of the National Violin Association.
As for the information about Qin Ran and Qin Ling…
There was not much information about them. They didn’t even know that Qin Ran was the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
However, the information provided by Madam Lu was the complete opposite. She stated that she didn’t know much about Qin Yu.
However, she had put in a lot of information about Qin Ran. She had elaborated on how great Qin Ran was. She wrote about her achievements of being the college entrance examination top scorer, a famous producer, and her work in the physics laboratory…
Old Master Tang’s subordinates couldn’t find anything that Madam Lu had provided.
Hence, they were confused.
It was confusing indeed.
Furthermore, Qin Ling’s information was confusing as well.
**
Continent M.
Qin Ran was looking through the information that Mattew had sent her.
One part of it was about a hacker that she was looking for.
Gardner.
He was the number 19 hacker in the Hacker Alliance.
He had collaborated with a few terrorist groups for a bombing case a few weeks ago. He was successful in hijacking the surveillance cameras.
He was in a class above Cheng Huo, that was why she was looking for him.
The Hacker Alliance was a free and easy-going organization. There were both good and bad hackers. They even had a dark web order sheet. Gu Xichi had tried looking for a hacker on it previously, but some of them wouldn’t do anything that would harm someone.
But others would do anything.
Gardner was the latter case, but Matthew couldn’t do anything about him.
Matthew wouldn’t know how to handle this kind of situation previously. But now that he had Qin Ran, he had someone to depend on for such intellectual crime. Even Cheng Shui and Leader Du were aware of it.
As everyone knew that Matthew had a hacker working for him, few had dared to cross him for the past two years.
Qin Ran closed Gardner’s information and opened up the latest information about Matthew’s prison.
Matthew gave all his information. It included all the personnel working daily and even included some of the drug lords as well.
He guessed that Qin Ran was looking for someone. He even anticipated that she was looking for a powerful someone. Hence, he included those powerful people at the start of the list.
Qin Ran looked through the list.
She looked through it quickly. There was basically one person per page. It contained some basic information about the criminal and the crimes that they had committed.
After ten minutes of looking through, Qin Ran finally found First Hall Master on the last page.
The drug lord’s information had occupied the entire page.
First and Second Hall Masters’ group had a total of ten people. But they only occupied the same page…
They were jailed basically because of a misunderstanding.
Qin Ran leaned back on the chair as she thought about the matter.
Cheng Juan didn’t have a good relationship with Matthew and the Mas family. If she were to look for Matthew… he would try to take advantage of the situation. He had evidence of their diamond smuggling trade for a long while.
Also, Cheng Shui had mentioned to her before that he wanted to go after Matthew this time. Hence, she couldn’t involve herself… or it could get messy.
She wasn’t sure if Matthew still remembered her.
As she thought of it, Qin Ran picked up her phone. She then scrolled to Gu Xichi and Giant Crocodile and forwarded information about First Hall Master to Giant Crocodile.
Before she could give them any instructions, she received a phone call.
It was Qin Hanqiu.
She picked up the phone as she stood up. As she got herself a glass of water, she asked, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing.” Qin Hanqiu was still in Yunjin Community. He was sitting on the sofa while Butler Qin and Ah Wen were staring at him. Qin Hanqiu then mentioned that Madam Lu had approached him previously.
Qin Ran was shocked and exclaimed, “My grand-uncle?”
Qin Hanqiu nodded and continued, “She claimed that Old Master Tang Jun was looking for me. May I meet…”
“You can meet him if you want. It doesn’t matter,” Qin Ran answered nonchalantly as she put her glass of water on the table.
She had never felt a sense of belonging to the Qin family. She had never even seen her grandparents, not even in photos.
They exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
On the other side of the call, Butler Qin stopped frowning as he stared at Qin Hanqiu and asked, “What was Eldest Lady’s opinion?”
The Qin family was having trouble, so Butler Qin wanted to ask Qin Ran for help.
Butler Qin wasn’t sure about Tang Jun. This was mainly because the Lu family had approached them for this matter. Hence, he felt that there was a need to contact Qin Ran.
“Ran Ran is fine with anything,” Qin Hanqiu replied as he put down the phone.
Butler Qin nodded as he took over the phone and headed out. He then said, “I’ll tell this to Madam Lu and arrange for a meeting, then.”
On the other side of the phone, Giant Crocodile responded the moment Qin Ran hung up the phone.
He left her a message.
[Do you need me to bring these people out? It won’t be much of a problem. I’ll be in Continent M tomorrow. I’ve heard from He Chen that you’re there as well?]
Giant Crocodile’s main stage wasn’t in Continent M. But he still had some connections there.
He was aware of Cheng Wenru’s order. With Qin Ran’s help, it wouldn’t be much of a hassle even though they were going against Matthew.
It was mostly because he heard that Qin Ran was also in Continent M.
Previously, when Qin Ran showed herself, Giant Crocodile wanted to meet her but didn’t dare to step foot in Beijing.
But he didn’t have much consideration when it came to Continent M.
Coincidentally, Qin Ran was there as well.
Qin Ran started up the editor as she noticed his reply. She could tell that he wanted to meet up.
She had known Giant Crocodile and gang for about five to six years already. She knew them longer than she knew Yan Xi.
Qin Ran finally picked up the phone after a long while and replied.
[I’m near Matthew’s building.]
After she finished replying, she started to type commands into her laptop. The light from the LCD of the laptop flashed on her face as she typed in the command.
She found out Gardner’s location based-off the information Matthew gave.
She encountered a trojan in the process, so she checked its IP address as well.
A familiar IP address appeared in front of her.
Qin Ran recognized it as the one used by Cheng Huo.
No wonder Cheng Shui told her that Cheng Juan had been sabotaging Matthew’s work…
That was the reason Matthew couldn’t figure it out.
Gardner’s security system was really strong. Cheng Huo was also blocking his attempts in secret. Hence, it was expected that Matthew couldn’t find out.
Qin Ran rubbed her temple, troubled. She then forwarded the data to Matthew.
She leaned back, not understanding why Cheng Juan and Matthew were fighting each other.
**
The next day, 6:30 am.
Qin Ran wasn’t up due to jet lag. She was so busy with the ICNE’s programs for the past few nights that she couldn’t find the time to sleep. Also, she was very busy with the laboratory’s research for the past few months. Her body was about to give way.
She fell into a deep sleep.
Cheng Juan didn’t allow anyone to wake her up.
Cheng Mu and Cheng Wenru were still sleeping due to the jetlag as well.
They were having breakfast downstairs.
“Big boss, are we not caring about First and Second Hall Masters?” Cheng Huo asked Cheng Juan, who was sitting opposite him.
Cheng Juan replied nonchalantly, “We need them to understand that Continent M isn’t such an easy place to enter.”
The managers in the Cheng family were tempted as they saw the Xu family benefitted from their businesses in Continent M.
However, Continent M was a dangerous place. A slight mistake would incur a huge cost.
The Xu family had contacted the Mas family through Master Wei.
“Big boss, have you come clean with Old Master Cheng?” Cheng Shui asked as he looked at him.
Cheng Juan kept silent as he held his chopsticks.
Cheng Wenru came downstairs. There were dark circles around her eyes, but she seemed excited. She exclaimed, “129 replied. First Hall Master and gang will be released in three days!”
She sat down as she held onto her phone.
Cheng Shui was shocked by the news as he stared at her and asked, “129 would normally end the task after providing some information. They are even releasing First Hall Master now?
“This is too good to be true.”
Cheng Wenru made herself comfortable and said, “I feel that it wasn’t hard for Giant Crocodile. He did it in a couple of minutes.”
She could tell how powerful Matthew was on Continent M.
She could finally understand why Old Master was so fearful of 129. They could even interfere with matters on Continent M.
Cheng Juan ignored her.
He put down his chopsticks as he headed upstairs with his phone.
His phone vibrated.
He looked down at it.
It was Huo’er from the hangar.
He immediately picked up.
Huo’er’s Chinese wasn’t great, and he spoke awkwardly. “Big boss, Giant Crocodile is here!”
