The crowd parted quickly for the man that was called out .
The lab was silenced as the tall gentleman stepped to the front .
Xinghe looked at her next challenger and her eyes slowly widened with recognition…
That man… looks so familiar…
Wait a minute… ET!
It was the hacker that represented Chui Ming during the Hacker Competition .
But… why is he here?
Ee Chen's appearance calmed Ruobing slightly . She told Xinghe smugly, "Ee Chen is our lab's computer science committee leader . Rumors say your computer skills are not bad, so I'll have Ee Chen find out for us . I hope you won't disappoint us and give us a good show!"
"You want him to test me?" Xinghe asked with a barely contained scoff .
AdvertisementRuobing nodded, "That's right!"
"I'll give you a chance to switch him out for someone better . "
"Such arrogance again!" Ruobing smirked . "Don't look down on him just because he's young . Ee Chen is the best computer scientist we've got! So, don't judge a book by its cover!"
Don't judge a book by its cover? The man is quite dashing himself .
Either way, someone in the crowd confirmed, "Leader Yun is right . Ee Chen is the best computer scientist among all of us . "
There was no voice of dissent from others .
No one could understand Xinghe's cryptic smile . "Fine, so be it . Alright, Mr . Ee, what do you want to test me on?"
"Of course, it has to be a test that is difficult enough to satisfy all of our doubts that you aren't cheating . Ee Chen, don't hold back . I'm sure she's good enough to withstand any challenge you throw at her," Ruobing ordered with a hidden motive .
She was hinting at Ee Chen to give Xinghe the hardest test he could possibly come up with .
She was sure if Ee Chen went full force, he was able to take Xinghe down easily!
She had personally witnessed his skill before . He could be considered one of the best in his field . How could a woman like Xia Xinghe compete with a total expert like him?
Therefore, she was confident Xinghe will lose this time around!
"I surrender . "
Ruobing was living her fantasy when Ee Chen uttered with a smile .
"What‽" She whipped her head around at him . She stared at him with mouth gaping, thinking she had heard him wrongly .
Ee Chen smirked and repeated, "Leader Yun, I said I surrender . "
The crowd was shocked .
What is Ee Chen doing? He surrendered without even a fight? What is the meaning of this?
Ruobing's face was overcast with gloom . She screamed at Ee Chen not caring about her image, "Who gave you the permission to surrender! How can you surrender without even putting up a fight? I order you to start the test now!"
Ee Chen's smile froze on his face . His tone dropped when he replied, "Leader Yun, I surrendered, naturally, because I know I'm not her match . "
Another shockwave of shock hit the crowd .
Why would Ee Chen say such a thing?
And how can he know he's not Xinghe's competition?
"This is because we've crossed swords a few months ago . I lost completely to her . In fact, I'm mighty impressed by Miss Xia's computer skills, I've not come across someone as professional as her before . If you don't believe me, you can search the footage from this year's Hacker Competition . Miss Xia dominated the competition," Ee Chen explained with a smile, his eyes glowing with excitement .
The rush that he felt during the competition was relived in his mind .
He felt consumed by… passion .
There was a constant smile on Ee Chen's face as he went through his explanation but Ruobing and the duo behind her had a complete opposite reaction .
They could barely force a smile even if they wanted to!
They felt the rug was being pulled from under them .
