Chapter 231: Cheng Huo: I Can Dig up Stuff Too

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The watering can in Cheng Huo’s hand shook after he heard this. The spout of the watering can just happened to be pointed at her, but fortunately, there wasn’t much water left inside.

Tang Qing’s shoes got a little wet.

It was only natural for someone who treated code programming as his life to be heavily concerned about it.

Especially since the information hall had been waiting for news from Tang Qing’s uncle.

She thought Cheng Huo would be very excited after hearing this.

However, he only nodded and didn’t ask further. He turned to Qin Ran again and asked, “Miss Qin, what were you saying about the code?”

He didn’t know much about Qin Ran’s computer skills, but he had seriously asked Cheng Mu, Lu Zhaoying, and Hao Dui before.

Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying weren’t particularly clear about this, but Hao Dui, who had long-term cooperation with Qian Dui, had explained it thoroughly. Overall, Cheng Huo felt like Qin Ran might actually be a master.

Qin Ran glanced at the blooming red flower at her feet. She didn’t know what flower it was to be blooming so vigorously in the cold winter.

“Nothing much.” She withdrew her gaze from Cheng Huo, her tone unchanged. Putting her hands behind her head, she walked away lazily. “I’m going back to read.”

Cheng Huo stood still, watching Qin Ran retreat and squinting slightly.

But since Tang Qing was beside him, he just frowned and didn’t ask her further. He turned to look at Tang Qing. “When is your uncle coming?”

Tang Qing didn’t know why Cheng Huo would discuss Xiao Hei with Qin Ran.

But she still looked away from Qin Ran and replied, “In these two days, when he’s done with his work.”

This was indeed good news for the information hall.

The people in the information hall were now eagerly discussing the matter. Even Jerry, who had been lying on the bed, got up with difficulty and listened to them.

In the afternoon, Qin Ran watched as Cheng Mu and Shi Liming trained.

In the evening, her phone rang. It was Lin Siran.

She needed a video of that red flower in the evening.

Qin Ran went out obediently. Cheng Juan wasn’t interested in the flowers but still followed her to take the video.

“This one?” He pointed to a red flower. After thinking for a while, he turned and wondered aloud, “Should we let Cheng Shui find someone to dig it up and bring it home?”

Qin Ran sent the video to Lin Siran and then walked back slowly. “Her dad is a flower planter. I think he’ll like this kind of flower. I’ll ask her tomorrow.”

The two of them passed by the outdoor training ground.

It wasn’t too dark at this time. At five o’clock, the headlights on the training ground were turned on.

The people in the manor seemed to be very stimulated in the past two days. Every day, there was a group of people on the training ground practicing as if their life depended on it, and some people had even signed up for one week of black boxing.

The appearance of Qin Ran and Cheng Juan attracted everyone’s attention.

Luo Dui was first to speak. He put down his weapon and wiped his sweat before walking to the periphery of the training ground and saying loudly, “Miss Qin, I have a question for you...”

Cheng Juan leaned on the woodpile outside and raised an eyebrow at Luo Dui.

Qin Ran also curiously leaned against the woodpile opposite. She chuckled and asked, “What is it?”

Luo Dui naturally talked about the problem of breaking through the bottleneck period.

Throughout this period, Luo Dui had gained a deeper understanding of Qin Ran. She looked much colder than Cheng Juan, and even her brows were cold and impatient.

But in reality, she was better to talk to than Cheng Juan.

Qin Ran listened to his question and nodded. The training ground caved in from above and bypassed a path with a gate as well as a ladder.

She didn’t walk to the side, but straightened up and supported herself on the stake with one hand before jumping down from above.

The sunken training ground wasn’t particularly high, but it was still about two meters tall with the wooden stakes.

The group of people watching below couldn’t help but take a step back.

Cheng Juan hadn’t intervened in the matters here for half a year and had let things accumulate. Since Qin Ran seemed very interested, he didn’t return and continued to lean on the side of the pile and watch.

Most of the people were very afraid of him, so he didn’t go down and just stood on top.

Not far away, Tang Qing was also among a group of people.

In the beginning, Cheng Huo had no intention of letting her participate in the assessment next month. He had wanted her to directly become second-in-command, but these days, he had changed his mind.

Tang Qing was extremely arrogant. To join the manor, she had to take the assessment. Hence, she was determined to be the most outstanding member. Other than the information hall, she mostly came to the training ground.

She was surrounded by a group of people from the information hall.

Someone in front scrambled to ask Tang Qing, “Miss Tang, is your uncle very powerful?”

Hearing this, Tang Qing smiled lightly. Her curly blond hair shone under the cold headlights. “He’s more powerful than me. I managed to get into the Hacker Alliance without an assessment because my dad asked him to write a recommendation letter for me.”

Anyone who could get into the Hacker Alliance without an assessment was extremely impressive.

The group of people bragged left and right. Most of them were from the law enforcement and procurement hall, but in the end, the people surrounding Tang Qing reduced by half.

They went to surround Luo Dui.

Although the law enforcement, procurement, and foreign trade halls were in awe of Tang Qing, they didn’t study code and it was all a mystery to them. As for real power, everyone still highly regarded strength.

After Tang Qing finished talking, she couldn’t help but glance at Qin Ran’s direction. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she asked someone from the information hall, “What are they doing?”

The person stared at Qin Ran and thought for a while before replying, “I think he’s asking Miss Qin for advice.”

After seeing Cheng Mu’s rapid improvement in just half a month, many people wanted to ask Qin Ran for advice but didn’t have the courage nor the face to...

Tang Qing also stared at Qin Ran, but she also noticed Cheng Juan, who was leaning on a woodpile. His eyebrows were relaxed and he looked to be relaxed under the night sky.

“This Miss Qin, is she very powerful?” Tang Qing looked away and asked.

Other than Luo Dui, few people had seen Qin Ran in action and had only heard rumors.

The person from the information hall couldn’t answer and just scratched his head. “She’s probably very powerful, but I haven’t seen her in action before. We don’t know much, but Mr. Cheng Shui and Leader Du should know.”

“She has never fought before despite being so powerful?” Tang Qing narrowed her eyes.

She fell into deep thought.

At night.

Cheng Huo came down as usual to the first floor to eat, but he lingered there for a long time and Qin Ran still didn’t continue talking about the code.

Cheng Juan saw that he was still lingering and was even helping the servants collect the bowls. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “You want to wash the dishes?”

Cheng Huo was speechless. No, he seriously didn’t.

Cheng Juan didn’t give him a chance to refute and said very warmly, “Okay, then you can give the cook a holiday tonight.”

Cheng Huo was speechless.

The cook took out the towel that was hanging on her apron and wiped her hands. Then, she sincerely thanked Cheng Huo. “Mr. Cheng Huo, then I’ll go back to watch TV first.”

Cheng Huo was speechless again. He really just wanted to find Qin Ran.

Once he finished washing the dishes, he returned to his room instead of going to the information hall.

His room was between Cheng Mu and Cheng Shui’s rooms.

At 8:30 in the evening, he took out his phone and made a direct call to China.

“Cheng Huo, what’s the matter?” It was only 8:30 in the morning in China. Hao Dui received the call on duty and asked in a deep voice while sitting in a car.

Cheng Huo walked to the window and took out a cigarette. “I want to ask you about Miss Qin.”

Hao Dui knew he was asking about Qin Ran’s computer skills. Although he didn’t know why Cheng Huo was curious about her, he didn’t beat about the bush. “Qian Dui’s men are considered very powerful in the criminal investigation world, especially that technician. However, he can’t even compare to Miss Qin.”

“Technician?” Cheng Huo narrowed his eyes and blew out a smoke ring. “Do you have any information about that technician?”

“I don’t have any information on Qian Dui’s men.” Hao Dui reached his destination and got out of the car. He put on his coat and continued, “But I should have his face from a crime scene I went to previously. I’ll find it and send it to you.”

For a hacker, especially a powerful hacker, a picture alone was enough to dig out all the person’s secrets.

Within a minute, Hao Dui sent a photo of the crime scene.

There were two people visible in the picture. Hao Dui had circled the technician’s face separately and had also instructed Cheng Huo not to leak the photos of this incident.

Cheng Huo acknowledged it before enlarging the image.

The technician in the photo had a very ordinary, unassuming face and looked to be about 27 or 28 years old.

Biting his cigarette, Cheng Huo squinted slightly. He thought the technician’s face looked a little familiar. His memory was rather good, but he couldn’t think of who it was for the time being. He brushed it off as someone he had met by chance but hadn’t talked to before.

He used the search engine directly to search the technician’s information.

The information came out to be very ordinary and flawless. Cheng Huo leaned on the back of his chair and fell into deep thought.

Two days later.

In the morning.

The people in the information hall were very excited. Even Cheng Shui, who was always busy, rested for the morning. He put on his formal suit and stood by the gate with Cheng Huo and the others.

According to Cheng Huo’s analysis, Tang Qing’s uncle probably occupied the top position in the Yunguang Consortium.

Yunguang was also a giant.

As the manor’s manager, Cheng Shui certainly had to come out to greet him.

Tang Qing stood beside Cheng Huo, staring intently at the gates. Her fingers gripped her phone tightly and were even shaking slightly.

In less than a minute.

Where everyone could see, a very ordinary classic car slowly drove over.
