Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Cheng Mu was speechless.

He was quite emotional just now. He avoided Qin Ran whenever he spoke, but at this time, he was silent.

This time, Lu Zhaoying completely ignored Cheng Mu. He walked directly to Qin Ran’s table and placed his hands on the table. He did not speak. Instead, he stared at her as if it was the first time he saw her.

A moment later, Cheng Mu looked at Hao Dui numbly. He felt as if there was something wrong with his ears. “Hao Dui, didn’t you save me with Qian Dui and the others?”

“The situation was complicated. Your location was uncertain and the technicians could not determine your specific location.” Hao Dui succinctly explained. “It was her computer that determined your location. Otherwise, you would not have been saved by now.”

So it was not wrong to say that Qin Ran saved Cheng Mu.

“All Qian Dui’s technicians could not figure out my location and she’s the one who did it in the end?” Cheng Mu had a hard time summarising the situation.

“Yes.” Although he had personally experienced the situation and tried to recall what happened again, Hao Dui still found it hard to believe. He clenched his fist before saying, “It wasn’t even half an hour.”

Cheng Mu stopped talking.

The school doctor’s office was very quiet.

In the past, Cheng Mu never paid much attention to Qin Ran. Now, he was dumbfounded and truly shocked.

It was impossible that Hao Dui was joking.

“But… how could she know?” Cheng Mu stiffly protested.

Qian Dui was famous in the industry because of the 712 cases they solved. His men were all elites and it was evident from the strength of his technical team.

Cheng Mu was not the only one. Hao Dui and Lu Zhaoying were also confused. In their eyes, Qin Ran was just an ordinary high school student. How was it possible that she knew this type of technology?

The entire situation was not described, but Cheng Mu could imagine the scene.

“Qin Ran, you’re too amazing.” Lu Zhaoying finally found his voice. He slammed the table and excitedly exclaimed. “When did you learn to program? You’re more professional than the professional technicians!”

In the past, Cheng Mu was only polite to Qin Ran because he was fearful of Cheng Juan. As he was surrounded by extremely outstanding people from a young age, he did not care much about Qin Ran and secretly looked down on her.

However, after hearing Lu Zhaoying’s words, Cheng Mu no longer ridiculed her.

He only lowered his head to look at his hands. When he saw Qin Ran again, the look in his eyes was completely different from before.

Qin Ran continued with her paper at the table.

She was doing a chemistry paper.

As his attitude towards Qin Ran changed, everyone in the school doctor’s office became very interested in her.

She was only a secondary three student. Why was she so good at programming?

They pretended to pass Qin Ran without noticing her but inadvertently saw the paper she was doing.

Unlike her expertise in software programming, her writing on the paper was not attractive. Her penmanship was like a primary school student’s. Her words were far apart, not framed well, and had no corners.

In fact…

On a closer look, only a few questions were right.

Even Cheng Mu and Hao Dui, who were very curious about her, had some difficulties understanding her.

“What do you think? Isn’t Qin Ran awesome?” As Lu Zhaoying helped Cheng Mu bandage his wound, he accidentally hurt him. Looking at them, Hao Dui could not help but burst into laughter while drinking ice water at the side.

Qin Ran was sitting at the table inside and was separated from Lu Zhaoying by a glass door.

If they lowered their voices, Qin Ran would not be able to hear their conversation.

Cheng Juan took out his cell phone.

Cheng Mu paused before whispering in a voice that could only be heard by the few people near him. Thoughtfully, he said, “Master Juan, don’t you think it’s strange? Why would a high school student that doesn’t know anything coincidentally know this? Isn’t this just too much of a coincidence?”

Cheng Juan was currently on a call with someone. Hearing Cheng Mu’s voice, he turned around slightly. His movements were always lazily, and he casually glanced at Cheng Mu without care.

He did not explain much but slowly said. “Three days later, there will be a lunch with Qian Dui. If you have anything to say, you can bring it up then.”

Although the truth was not what Cheng Mu thought it was, Qian Dui did contribute greatly to the rescue.

Lunch was a must.

However…

“Master Juan, has Qian Dui agreed to the meal?” Cheng Mu recalled that when he was in the car when he came back, Qian Dui did not seem to care at all. “Judging from how they look, it doesn’t seem like they are people who would eat with others.”

Cheng Juan, Cheng Mu, and several of them would definitely be restrained, and Qian Dui also did not talk much. How awkward would the atmosphere be?

Although this was what he thought, Cheng Mu did not dare to say much.

This time, he went to Yun Cheng with Hao Dui because of two reasons. The first was because of Cheng Juan and the second was because of Qian Dui. It was better to have this opportunity than none.

**

Three days later.

At noon.

Hao Dui and Cheng Mu were the first to arrive at the lunch.

Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying were waiting for Qin Ran to be released from school and were not there yet.

Cheng Juan had set a time that was just after Qin Ran’s release from school.

Cheng Mu and Hao Dui arrived in advance out of basic respect for Cheng Juan and Qian Dui.

“She’s really quite skilled, but will it be bad for her to come to this kind of business occasion?” Cheng Mu held his teacup and glanced at the door. He said in a low voice to Hao Dui, “What if Qian Dui is unhappy about it?”

Cheng Mu thought that a high school student like Qin Ran was not suitable to attend such an occasion.

He initially thought that Hao Dui would agree with him. Unexpectedly, Hao Dui only quietly drank his tea.

He seemed to be deep in thought.

Before Cheng Mu could say anything more, an attendant opened the door of their room and a few people walked in.

When he looked up, he realized that it was Qian Dui. Cheng Mu’s expression was obviously shocked.

He originally thought that Qian Dui would arrive later with Cheng Juan.

Generally, people who arrived at the lunch in advance did it either out of respect or because they wanted to chat with others.

Seeing Qian Dui’s expressionless and quiet face, he did not seem like someone who would engage in a conversation.

“Qian Dui, what sort of tea would you like?” Cheng Mu stood up and spoke first.

“No, thank you,” Qian Dui said concisely.

He sat on the seat next to the door. The two technicians behind him also saw down.

Everyone sat down in silence. Besides Qian Dui who asked the attendant to bring over another pot of tea, no one else had any intention of speaking.

The atmosphere suddenly turned chilly.

Cheng Mu tried to ask Qian Dui and his team a few questions, but Qian Dui and his team only shook or nodded their heads like ice cubes.

Cheng Mu felt extremely helpless. He thought that he was not a sociable person, but he did not expect that there would be someone who spoke less than him.

He lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Hao Dui. [Qian Dui is too cold. I can’t work with him at all.]

Just when the atmosphere was about to turn from awkward to freezing, the door was pushed open again.

The person who opened the door was Lu Zhaoying. He touched his flashy earrings and leaned back to talk to the person behind him while opening the door.

“Master Juan.” Cheng Mu and Hao Dui both stood up.

Cheng Juan lowered his eyes and acknowledged them with a slightly nasal voice. He walked in with Qin Ran.

Cheng Mu was just about to sit down.

However, he was shocked to see that Qian Dui and the others had also stood up. One of those people who were as cold as ice wiped the remaining chairs.

Someone pulled the chairs out.

With a faint smile on his face, Qian Dui poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qin Ran enthusiastically. “You can drink this tea. I just asked the attendant to bring over a new pot.”
