Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Last time when the medicine CNS was scarce, Chen Shulan had taken Cheng Juan’s phone number.

Cheng Juan had also visited her several times without especially asking anything, but Chen Shulan had guessed that Cheng Juan was keeping an eye on Qin Ran when she injured her hand.

The phone rang once and was picked up.

In a villa in Yun Cheng.

Cheng Juan picked up the phone while facing a mannequin. After receiving the call from Chen Shulan, he raised his hand and threw the scalpel on the table.

He looked down at his phone and then leaned on one side, deep in thought.

Lu Zhaoying was sitting on the sofa, his fingers flicking away the ashes on the table as he glanced at Cheng Juan and asked, “Master Juan, who was it?”

“Grandma Chen, she invited me to an apprenticeship banquet,” Cheng Juan put his phone aside and said lightly.

“Grandma Chen?” Lu Zhaoying glanced at Cheng Juan with a cigarette in his hand, particularly puzzled.

He went through the entire Beijing several times and still couldn’t think of anyone that could qualify as Grandma Chen to Cheng Juan.

After all, even though Master Juan was young, his seniority wasn’t small.

Cheng Juan stood lazily while leaning against the table, thinking with his eyes closed about what to send. He was lazy and distracted and didn’t reply to him.

While helping Jiang Dongye process some data, Cheng Mu heard this and looked up. “It’s probably Miss Qin’s grandma, right?”

Chen Shulan had accompanied Cheng Juan to the hospital last time and remembered Chen Shulan.

“Oh.” Lu Zhaoying nodded and remembered something after a while, which caused him to suddenly be energized. “Wait, does that mean this is Qin Ran’s apprenticeship banquet?”

“Yeah.” Cheng Juan responded as he opened his phone and slowly sent a message. “Cheng Mu, pick up something at the airport tomorrow morning.”

Cheng Mu put down the things in his hand and nodded. “Okay.”

Lu Zhaoying stood up dramatically and scratched his hair. “Why didn’t she invite me? How could I not be there for Qin Ran’s apprenticeship banquet?!”

He snuffed his cigarette and picked up his phone to call her.

Jiang Dongye didn’t attend any banquet and wasn’t interested in Qin Ran’s apprenticeship banquet.

He put down the notebook in his hand and then leaned on the sofa, sneering. “What hacker alliance, they’re just garbage and useless.”

He had asked them to check on news of Gu Xichi. He was in Yun Cheng, and online information couldn’t be hidden forever, but who knew that the hacker alliance would tell him directly that he wasn’t in Yun Cheng?!

Qin Ran already returned to her dormitory.

Lin Siran was still playing games when she returned.

She turned her head slightly when she saw Qin Ran. “Ran Ran, is your aunt okay?”

“She’s fine.” Qin Ran opened the closet door and took out a towel and clothes to take a shower.

Lin Siran felt slightly relieved after hearing this, and then she said something to the boys in the game.

Lin Siran was playing in the arena with Qiao Sheng and several other boys in the class.

Qin Ran dragged a chair and sat down on it, turning on the computer while wiping her hair with a towel.

The mobile phone on her table lit up and she glanced at it. It wasn’t a message from Gu Xichi, but a message from Master Wei about the apprenticeship banquet.

He and Chen Shulan had chosen the date December 3rd in the calendar. It was next Tuesday, and there were two or three days left.

He also asked if Qin Ran had any friends to invite.

Qin Ran didn’t have a concept of the Chinese calendar, so she was quite easy going about the date that Master Wei had chosen. She looked at the last sentence that Master Wei sent for a while…

Qin Ran turned and glanced at Lin Siran, her eyes squinted deep in thought.

Qin Ran didn’t care much about the apprenticeship banquet.

But Chen Shulan would probably like to see her bringing her friends over.

Lin Siran showed her three God cards in the arena, so the other player turned on the voice chat and the game ended very quickly.

“Ran Ran, do you want to play together?” After playing a game, Lin Siran put down the mouse, put her hand on the keyboard, and turned to look at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran wiped her hair slowly with her legs propped up casually on the table. She shook her head and asked, “Do you have time next Tuesday?”

“Tuesday?” Lin Siran continued playing reluctantly after hearing that Qin Ran didn’t want to join.

“I’m inviting you, Qiao Sheng, and several others to a meal.” Qin Ran threw the towel aside after wiping her hair.

Lin Siran smiled and supported her chin with her hand. “Then I definitely have time!”

Qin Ran nodded and clicked on her phone.

Gu Xichi had already sent the result over without saying anything else. She looked at it and didn’t understand what it meant.

Yan Xi began to spam her again.

Qin Ran didn’t care.

If she invited Qiao Sheng, then what about Feng Loucheng and the rest?

It seemed like Yang Fei was also still in Yun Cheng?

Qin Ran leaned against the back of the chair and threw her phone on the table in irritation.

In Xu Yaoguang’s bedroom.

Several boys sat at his desk.

He was the only one in class with a single room. This single room was big, had a proper end, and even the table was two meters long and one meter wide.

The boys in the class had even made an appointment to play mahjong here.

Although Xu Yaoguang was a little cold, he was very generous about this and would even play with them sometimes.

“Sister Ran doesn’t want to play in the arena with us.” Qiao Sheng looked up after receiving Lin Siran’s reply.

The two boys sighed.

He Wen couldn’t be more depressed. He felt extremely depressed when he remembered how he had rejected Qin Ran last time when she had wanted to play for him.

Xu Yaoguang also kept his computer and looked down at his exercise book.

“Sister Ran wants to invite me to dinner on Tuesday.” Qiao Sheng looked at Xu Yaoguang and leaned back in his chair, laughing. “Young Master Xu, do you want to get a free meal?”

Qin Ran had asked for leave on Friday, and Xu Yaoguang would occasionally look over in the direction of her seat.

Invited for a meal?

Xu Yaoguang shook his head with little interest and continued to do the Physics exercises.

He was only halfway through when his phone rang.

Xu Yaoguang picked it up and glanced at the caller ID before going out.

“Qin Yu?” He Wen and the others exchanged glances.

After getting along for more than two years, they knew that Xu Yaoguang would be very affected by anything involving Qin Yu, but recently, he seemed a lot more indifferent.

Qiao Sheng nodded casually. “Young Master Xu is only interested in two things.”

He Wen also laughed. “I saw news of Qin Yu on the Internet recently, and she had 300,000 fans on her Weibo when I looked at it. I listened to her performance and it’s really not bad.”

Qin Yu’s video had been posted online by someone.

Because of this, she became a little popular on the Internet and gained a lot of fans. Recently, she was talked about frequently on the school forum.

Monday.

At noon, Qin Ran went to the school doctor’s office.

Lu Zhaoying was sitting on a chair and giving medicine to a boy with a cold when he saw Qin Ran enter.

Cheng Juan turned over a case file, holding a pen in one hand and a cigarette in the other, occasionally drawing something on it.

Qin Ran pulled a chair opposite him, sat down, and leaned lazily on the table.

Cheng Juan looked up and glanced at her, then stubbed his cigarette and took two steps forward. He opened the window and waited for the smoke to dissipate before closing it again.

He asked her about Ning Wei’s condition and she answered them one by one.

Ning Wei’s mental state had improved so much that she even wanted to go home yesterday, but Mu Nan had tried his best to prevent it.

Cheng Juan knew about these and sat back to pick up the file again. He didn’t read it and just leaned on the back of the chair before asking, “What teacher did you pay apprenticeship to?”

Lu Zhaoying took the medicine and handed it to the boy. Hearing this, he also stretched his legs, kicked the table, and slid his chair to the middle.

“Yes, Qin Ran, what did you learn from that teacher? Did you learn how to play games?”

He touched his chin, indicating that it was possible.

“He’s just an old man.” Qin Ran propped her chin with one hand and murmured.

“You guys can see him tomorrow, what’s the hurry?” Jiang Dongye pushed the door open from outside. He pulled down the black scarf around his neck and spoke lightly.

He was followed by Hao Dui and Cheng Mu.

“Why are you back now?” Lu Zhaoying asked. He had wanted to say that he could find a better teacher for Qin Ran, but he didn’t dare mention it in front of Master Juan.

Jiang Dongye had borrowed manpower from his uncle and would undoubtedly turn over the whole Yun Cheng in order to find Gu Xichi.

He had men at every exit.

“I didn’t dare to disturb my uncle at work.” Jiang Dongye dragged a chair and sat down on it, hanging his scarf on the back. “I’ll find him after work. He actually went to try on clothes, and I heard his guard say that he has a banquet.”

Cheng Mu laid out the dishes on the table and Lu Zhaoying picked up his chopsticks, looking up curiously. “What banquet is Uncle Jiang taking so seriously?”

“I don’t know, but I’ll talk to him tonight.” Jiang Dongye ate a little gracefully and answered indifferently. “I won’t go back to Beijing until I find Gu Xichi.”

Qin Ran looked up and glanced at Jiang Dongye expressionlessly.

Jiang Dongye didn’t notice and picked up his chopsticks before suddenly remembering something. “I heard that there’s a very famous person in the criminal investigation team in Yun Cheng. I’ll ask him to block all the exit information. I don’t believe Gu Xichi can still escape from my clutches.”

Master Wei had decided on all the people to be invited.

Originally, he thought that Chen Shulan would only invite a few people, but she actually invited a total of eight people in the end.

“They’re probably Miss Qin’s classmates.” Uncle Hai flipped through the list. “I’ll add a few dishes that youngsters like to eat.”

Uncle Hai had been to Ninghai Town with Master Wei before and naturally knew Qin Ran’s talent in this aspect.

He knew how highly Master Wei thought of her.

Today, the people invited were just small characters, and Young Master Jiang was considered to be the biggest character.

Although Uncle Hai wasn’t satisfied, he could only settle with this for the time being. It would only be a big deal in Beijing, and he had already helped Master Wei think of what guests had to be invited to the banquet.

The news of Master Wei accepting a disciple alone was enough to shake half the industry.

This time, including the people from the Violin Association that Master Wei had invited, the guests were enough to fill two tables.

Master Wei booked the banquet at En Yu Hotel.

Tuesday.

After school in the afternoon, Qin Ran slowly waited on her seat with her headphones in her ears. She waited for all the people in the class to leave before taking off her headphones and casually setting it aside.

Lin Siran had also just packed her books.

“Ran Ran, shall we go now?” She turned and looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran stood up by the table and walked ahead.

Pan Mingyue and Wei Zihang waited at the stairs for the three of them to come down.

Wei Zihang’s clothes were usually casual, and he wore mostly sportswear and casual pants. But today, he wore a black trench coat with a white shirt inside, looking somewhat formal.

Pan Mingyue didn’t wear the school uniform today and wore a knitted dress and a coat outside. She also wore furry gloves.

Lin Siran and Qiao Sheng had thought it was just a casual meal.

So they were both stunned when the taxi stopped in front of En Yu Hotel.

It was such a big meal?!

“Today is her apprenticeship banquet, didn’t she tell you?” Wei Zihang shook the gift box he had prepared and smiled elegantly.

Pan Mingyue didn’t bring a gift box, but she carried a small bulging backpack.

Qiao Sheng scratched his head and prepared to give Qin Ran a red envelope.

Lin Siran: “… I only have one grass in my entire possession.”

Was it considered impolite?

Lin Siran glared begrudgingly at Qin Ran.

**

Qin Ran ignored them and simply looked at the message Uncle Hai had sent to her.

They were on the top floor of En Yu Hotel.

The top floor was similar to Heaven Clubhouse.

There were two waiters at the hotel entrance who asked if they were here for Ms. Chen’s banquet before taking them to the top floor very politely.

The room on the top floor was large.

The Chairman of the Violin Association and several other key figures had already arrived. Uncle Hai was entertaining them and quickly came forward when he saw Qin Ran arrive.

“Oh, you’re all Miss Qin’s classmates, right? Come sit here.” Uncle Hai led them to another table. “Miss Qin, are there any other classmates?”

“There are still a few friends left.” Qin Ran looked down at her phone and saw Lu Zhaoying’s message that they were reaching. “They’ll reach soon.”

Uncle Hai nodded and smiled. “Elder Wei went to pick up your grandma and will come back quickly.”

Qiao Sheng carefully patted Wei Zihang’s shoulder. “What teacher did Sister Ran worship?”

He felt like the atmosphere was strange.

**

Downstairs.

Cheng Mu parked his car.

Lu Zhaoying walked out of the passenger seat and looked at Qin Ran’s message on his phone in surprise. “It’s on the top floor. Looks like Qin Ran’s teacher is richer than her.”

Cheng Juan also got out of the car and buttoned his coat without speaking.

Cheng Mu nodded. “Yes, he’s indeed more impressive than I imagined.”

The three of them walked into the hotel.

After the two attendants at the door asked them, they respectfully took them up to the top floor.

Knock knock—

After knocking three times, the door was opened from the inside.
