Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered Chapter 234

Originally, Mr. Lu thought Qin Ran hadn't taken action because she wasn't familiar with these people.

But he had witnessed that this was obviously not the case.

Cheng Juan, Cheng Huo, Cheng Shui, and the others all had good attitudes towards her. They had even calculated the number of tea leaves perfectly for her.

1

They obviously looked close?

Qin Ran responded casually and leaned back, her tone still light, “There wasn't a chance to.”

Actually, she had found two opportunities before, both of which had been interrupted by Tang Qing. It was already an uneasy feat for her to mention it a second time with her lack of patience, so how could she possibly initiate it for the third time?

Impossible, the possibility didn't exist.

Mr. Lu glanced at her and remained silent.

After thinking for a while, Qin Ran stood up and walked to her table. She pulled out the chair and glanced at Cheng Huo and Jerry. “Bring the computer here.”

Cheng Huo had yet to respond completely, but his hand reacted fast and he quickly handed the computer to her.

“I took a look and it's mainly a problem with the source code.” Mr. Lu sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea. He glanced towards Qin Ran and continued, “Come back if you have time. Continent M has a branch.”

“I'll see how it goes,” Qin Ran glanced at the source code on the computer and replied lazily. The others couldn't understand what they meant.

She opened the editor on the computer.

Mr. Lu put down his teacup and glanced at Cheng Huo and Jerry, both still stunned. He felt even more certain that Qin Ran quite liked this group of people.

He said casually, “The two of you, don't stand there gawping. Get the USB flash drive ready. She's much faster than me. If you don't understand, tell her to slow down.”

Qin Ran had already typed in a string of codes.

Previously, in the information hall, Cheng Huo and Jerry had already felt like Mr. Lu's hand speed was fast enough, but they didn't expect Qin Ran to be even faster.

Cheng Shui made arrangements for the red flower and sent it by air. It would take 12 hours from Continent M to China and would probably arrive the next morning for Lin Siran.

After arranging these things, he knocked on the door and entered the study.

Qin Ran was still typing the code when he entered. She looked serious while typing, not at all indifferent like how she normally looked.

Cheng Juan ignored Cheng Shui.

Cheng Huo and Jerry were still gawking and rapt in wonder.

Only Cheng Juan and Mr. Lu had normal expressions.

Cheng Shui's footsteps paused for a moment. He could guess that Cheng Huo and Jerry were here for Xiao Hei's code, but…

Why was Qin Ran sitting at the computer now?

And wasn't she typing too fast on the keyboard?

As quick as lightning, Qin Ran finished typing the last character of the code. Instead of leaving immediately, she turned the computer towards Cheng Huo and the rest to let them see the code.

She presented the operation to them, which consisted of three steps.

Her idle fingers tapped on the table and her voice was as casual as ever. “Are you clear?”

Although Cheng Huo wasn't in the right state, he was still able to understand. He heard this and nodded stiffly.

Qin Ran stood up with her hands on the table and raised an eyebrow at Mr. Lu. “Shall we talk?”

Mr. Lu nodded and glanced quietly at Cheng Juan. “Come to my room.”

Qin Ran also glanced at Cheng Juan.

Without any change in his expression, Cheng Juan led the two of them to the stairwell calmly before returning to the study.

Reaching out for a cigarette, he bit it casually in his mouth.

Because of him, the three people in the study room finally returned to their senses, especially Jerry.

He held his cane in his hand.

“Mr. Cheng Huo, I think Cheng Mu hit me so hard that I just hallucinated.” Jerry wiped his face and spoke like an emotionless machine. “Was Miss Qin just deciphering the source code?”

1

Cheng Huo closed the computer and put it away. He nodded, seemingly still shocked. “Yes… I think so.”

Artificial intelligence was the core technology of the Yunguang Consortium.

Although this code wasn't their core, Cheng Huo and Jerry both knew that it was certainly mixed with the alien civilization from the fallen meteorite many years ago.

1

It was difficult to decipher the code without more than five years of specialized research, so they had turned to Mr. Lu for help.

But Qin Ran… managed to solve the code just like that?

Cheng Huo had guessed with Cheng Shui before if Qin Ran was a member of the Yunguang Consortium, but with her age, he hadn't dared to think so highly of her despite further understanding her.

But now, he was… utterly speechless.

“Boss, did you already know?” Cheng Shui stared at Cheng Juan, who was sitting at his desk and calmly picking up his documents.

Cheng Juan shook his head, his eyes a little lazy. His voice was slow and he raised an eyebrow. “No, but isn't it normal considering her skills?”

1

She had not only been able to clean up after Gu Xichi for so many years, but she also had computer skills comparable to the President of Yunguang Consortium and had even been recruited by them as well, so Cheng Juan didn't feel at all surprised. After all, the Yunguang Consortium was an Asian IT leader.

If they didn't recruit her, Cheng Juan would really think that the Yunguang Consortium was blind.

Cheng Shui was speechless.

On the first floor in Mr. Lu's room.

“A lot has changed.” Mr. Lu turned on the computer and opened the curtains to look at the lights outside. He seemed to sigh a little as he continued, “I'm glad to see you like this.”

He reached out and patted Qin Ran's head.

She used to love reading books at his house. She always read his original books and a bunch of books on codes.

Mr. Lu was antisocial and lived alone. He opened a computer repair shop and had rather good repair skills. His shop was always very quiet.

Qin Ran liked reading books at his house because she rarely met someone with a temperament that resembled her own. Mr. Lu also felt strangely close to her. He didn't like communicating with people, but he repeatedly made exceptions for her.

1

He had even given her many books. Qin Ran would take them back home at the beginning, but after Qin Yu took them, she stopped asking for more. If she wanted to read, she would go directly to his house and sit by the shelf to read.

All these years, Mr. Lu could feel that there seemed to be a hidden volcano in the depths of Qin Ran's heart. He was increasingly worried about her condition, but she had left without waiting for him to find a chance to chat with her.

“By the way, about Mr. Yang, you…” Mr. Lu glanced at her sideways.

3

Qin Ran sat casually in a chair with her hands behind her head. She frowned and said, “I've withdrawn from behind the scenes, right? You can find me if you have problems, but other things are too annoying.”

She had always been willful, but the Yunguang Consortium had never tried to restrain her before.

However, since she meant that she hadn't withdrawn completely, Mr. Lu didn't mention it further.

“That Mr. Cheng…” He thought of Cheng Juan and frowned. “How long have you known him?”

“Three years?” Qin Ran tilted her head with uncertainty.

Mr. Lu glanced at her and nodded. “Only three years.”

He stopped talking and just sat silently by the window.

On this side, Cheng Huo finally returned to his senses. He went out of the study to the first floor, Jerry following behind him with a cane.

Qin Ran's code was on Cheng Huo's computer.

Jerry wanted to copy a paragraph.

Cheng Huo had yet to sort out what Mr. Lu said in the morning. Compiled with Qin Ran's three paragraphs of code, he estimated that he would take more than a week to solve it.

But at this time, this code still couldn't distract him from wondering about Qin Ran.

He couldn't help but wonder who she was.

He copied the code for Jerry successfully.

Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in Cheng Huo's mind.

Instead of giving the USB flash drive back to Jerry, he entered a black web page with a shortcut key.

It was all written in pure English.

Jerry didn't understand what this web page was about and just watched as Cheng Huo clicked on a page of personnel information files.

There were people from all countries on it.

On the search bar, he scanned a picture that appeared to have been cut out. Within a second, the information of a pretty ordinary man popped up.

Cheng Huo stared intently at the picture.

“Who is this?” Jerry asked.

Cheng Huo took a deep breath and stood up. “An old member of the Hacker Alliance. He retired on his own two years ago.”

After hearing that he was a member of the Hacker Alliance and was even an old member, Jerry felt greater reverence for this great God he had never even met.

But Cheng Huo couldn't seem to calm down.

He remembered Hao Dui saying that this person followed Qin Ran like her shadow.

Why did a member of the Hacker Alliance trust Qin Ran so much?

He printed out the picture of this person and opened the door to find Cheng Mu in the training ground.

Jerry, curious about Cheng Huo's dazed state, followed behind.

Cheng Huo's room was on the first floor. He opened the door and walked just a few steps before bumping into Cheng Mu.

“Cheng Mu, let me ask you a question. A few days ago, I saw that you seemed to know Xiao Hei very well?” Cheng Huo stepped forward, holding the picture in his hands.

He couldn't help pursing his lips seriously.

Cheng Mu's face was swollen. He paused when he heard this and turned blankly to look at Cheng Huo. “I've seen a robot like Xiao Hei before. It was a butler called Xiao Er in the house of Miss Qin's friend.”
