Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Panda Novel

Jiang Dongye was silent for a long time after hearing this.

“Young Master Jiang? Young Master Jiang?” Hao Dui walked out again and almost thought the signal was broken.

“Oh.” Jiang Dongye finally reacted.

He said a few words to Hao Dui and then hung up stiffly.

After hearing that Qian Dui had come to find Qin Ran and had even gone to her apprenticeship banquet, he realized something was wrong.

Thus, he had called Hao Dui directly. After listening to Hao Dui… it seemed like Qin Ran was the core of the whole thing…

His mind was blank and thunder rolled around inside.

1He stood in place, dumbfounded.

Cheng Mu came out and coughed. “Young Master Jiang, are you okay?”

Jiang Dongye was speechless.

1Jiang Dongye was about to cry.

4Lu Zhaoying had described Qin Ran so pitifully and said she had to work several part-time jobs at once. But who was Qian Dui? He was the big hit of the domestic Criminal Investigation Team, so Jiang Dongye never imagined that the two would be related.

If he had known earlier that he would find Qian Dui at Qin Ran’s banquet, he would never have refused Lu Zhaoying’s sincere invitation!

Jiang Dongye touched his chest, feeling like his intestines were all twisted together and his blood was stuck in his chest. He was simply full of regrets!

Jiang Dongye had planned to follow Qian Dui home until he agreed.

However, he followed Cheng Mu back to the school doctor’s office.

Cheng Mu saw that the tea in Qin Ran’s cup was finished, so he picked up the still-hot kettle and poured water into her cup.

His movements were smooth and natural.

“Let go!” Jiang Dongye jutted his hand in and grabbed the kettle in Cheng Mu’s hand to pour water for Qin Ran.

3“Miss Qin, are you cold? Is it hot? Is it the right temperature?”

“Do I need to add water?”

Cheng Mu froze in place, speechless.

1Lu Zhaoying put his finger on the keyboard and pressed a few keys. He glanced over at the diligent Jiang Dongye and snorted.

Lu Zhaoying had recently changed his name in the game to “Head To Supreme With Qin Ran”.

2Of course, he had only played once with Qin Ran, and Qin Ran had even used Cheng Juan’s account, so Lu Zhaoying didn’t know what her account was called.

Qin Ran didn’t bring any copybook or foreign book today and did not even have a backpack.

After dinner, Lu Zhaoying wanted to play a game with her.

The classroom was not air-conditioned, so after thinking about it, Qin Ran agreed very generously.

She still used Cheng Juan’s account.

Lu Zhaoying used the desktop computer while Qin Ran sat opposite him, holding the laptop she often used.

She logged into Cheng Juan’s account and opened the card page.

The Sky, Land, and Human cards were all full.

But there was no God card.

Zero.

Qin Ran narrowed her eyes and Lu Zhaoying urged her to accept the team request quickly, so she nodded and slowly accepted it.

Qin Ran slowly manipulated the characters. Although her hand speed was not fast, her position was extremely vicious and every skill she threw at Lu Zhaoying was particularly accurate.

Jiang Dongye also played games, but even though he often watched live broadcasts, he was still wandering about at the rookie level. At this time, he could only sit next to Qin Ran and shout out encouragements.

1“You still have unread mail.” Jiang Dongye pointed his finger at the upper right corner of the game page.

A red dot was marked on the mail icon.

Qin Ran looked away and nodded without opening it.

Qin Ran had already seen the red dot the last time she used Cheng Juan’s account.

“Speaking of that, Master Juan almost went into the competition last time,” Jiang Dongye leaned to the side and said warmly. “However, his particularly fierce teammate suddenly disappeared in the game, or else… there would be no such thing as Yang Fei today.”

1Only the first generation of players remembered this.

At that time, the first district had two fierce Chinese players.

Immediately afterward, Yang Fei appeared in Asia with three God cards and won the first domestic championship.

He was thus named God Yang Fei, OST’s God.

Qin Ran returned to the bedroom at half-past nine.

Lu Zhaoying counted tonight’s records. She had mainly used the high lord card which used the fire attack. She didn’t lose a single game and had even stolen his output.

He reached out and touched his ear studs. He felt like his skill had increased, so he couldn’t help but look at Cheng Juan. “Master Juan, do you want to retrieve your account number again? We can play a three-player game?”

Cheng Juan turned and turned off his anatomy video slowly. After hearing this, he squinted involuntarily and seriously considered the possibility.

Lu Zhaoying reached out to close the game page and a red dot lit up on the friend page—

[Rose has requested several times to add you as a friend]

Rose?

Cheng Mu leaned over and nodded, his eyes bright. “It’s her.”

All of Ouyang Wei’s accounts used this name, so Cheng Mu remembered it very clearly.

Lu Zhaoying accepted the invitation casually.

After accepting it, Ouyang Wei sent an invitation.

Lu Zhaoying originally wanted to sleep and had already pointed to the “rejection” button with his mouse. But he glanced at it and saw that Ouyang Wei had nine stars on the Guru level!

He was startled. “What the f*ck?!”

Lu Zhaoying immediately accepted it!

Jiang Dongye was a rookie and was not very interested in Ouyang Wei, so he went over to discuss with Cheng Mu about Qin Ran. However, Cheng Mu was watching Lu Zhaoying and Ouyang Wei’s game and only replied to Jiang Dongye half-heartedly.

The next day, early in the morning.

Yan Xi’s official page released the highlights of the new album.

He even mentioned the lead and supporting actors, so countless male and female fans of Yan Xi found that something was wrong.

They immediately picked out Li Shuangning. Li Shuangning’s image had been maintained very well since her debut, but in the entertainment industry, a single piece of bad news would stay forever.

The Internet was full of news about the incident at the Yun Ding Hotel.

<span>1Yan Xi only released a few songs yearly, so he dominated the hot searches with his popularity after announcing the release of his new songs.

News about him was the subject of gossip among netizens.

Lin Qi went to the company in the morning and his phone automatically launched the news: [The reason why Li Shuangning was blacklisted by the genius song God, the truth is…]

Lin Qi usually only focused on finance and economics news.

He usually did not read this kind of entertainment news, but the name Li Shuangning had appeared a lot recently, and Li Qiu had even called him yesterday.

As a businessman, Lin Qi had a sensitive sense of smell and could tell something was wrong. He clicked on the browser and fell into contemplation.

This all seemed too coincidental. The supporting role of Yan Xi’s music video just had to be changed suddenly after the incident at the hotel, and he had even received the phone call yesterday…

Lin Qi was deep in thought when the assistant knocked on the door outside. “Chairman Lin, Miss Li is looking for you outside.”

“Tell her to come in.” Lin Qi sat back on his chair.

Soon, Li Shuangning and Li Qiu both came in.

Li Qiu’s usually strong expression was not very good now, and there was a clear blue-black shadow under her eyes, as well as a blister on her mouth.

Li Shuangning had on thick makeup, but even the thick makeup couldn’t cover her fatigue and paleness.

“Chairman Lin, we would like to ask you for Miss Qin’s number. We have something to discuss with her,” Li Qiu said politely to Lin Qi, her voice clearly anxious.

She had called Qin Hanqiu last night, but he had not told her anything about Qin Ran, so she decided to find the Lin family.

Lin Qi had even more doubts in his heart and pinched a cigarette with his fingers.

After they got the number and left, Lin Qi leaned back and was silent for a long time.

Downstairs.

Li Shuangning got into the car and put on her sunglasses instead, her face extremely cold.

“Why did you not remind Lin Qi just now?” Li Shuangning glanced at Li Qiu.

She was talking about Qin Ran.

Li Qiu pursed her lips while calling Qin Ran. “We might have been impulsive yesterday, but that does not mean the Lin family had no faults. Since this is the case, everyone should suffer together.”

<span>1“We will apologize to Miss Qin, then tuck our tails between our legs and disappear for half a year. We will have to wait until this gust of wind passes.” Li Qiu turned on her Weibo and her heart felt like it had been scraped with a knife when she saw that the supporting role of Yan Xi’s album had now risen to third on the hot search.

The entertainment industry was as such: it was easy to offend someone accidentally. Li Shuangning had debuted for two years and had always been cautious. She finally climbed to where she was today, but just because of a word from Qin Ran, all her efforts went down the drain!

<span>3Li Shuangning already turned off her Weibo comments, but she couldn’t help but look at the supporting role that originally belonged to her. She was going to use this role to stabilize her second-line popularity, but who knew that she would fall back to the starting line?

She closed her eyes and couldn’t help thinking about who the girl from yesterday was.

After school in the afternoon.

In the hospital.

Qin Ran went to see Ning Wei first.

Cheng Juan went with her to check on Ning Wei’s injury. Several doctors responsible for recording Ning Wei’s condition came downstairs and discussed the follow-up with Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan took the record from the doctor and looked at Ning Wei again. After thinking for a while, he walked towards the corridor.

The doctors and nurses in the room followed him to the corridor.

The room was instantly quiet.

Mu Nan’s computer was placed on the side, showing English translations on it as well as an English dictionary on the side.

He stopped translating when he saw Qin Ran come in.

“Ran Ran.” Ning Wei asked Mu Nan to raise her bed, then she took out the yellowed sheet of paper from under the pillow.

She handed it to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran did not sit and just leaned against the cupboard beside the bed. She didn’t take it and just raised an eyebrow. “I don’t want it.”

Ning Wei didn’t speak and just tucked the piece of paper into Qin Ran’s hand. “Keep it. My medical expenses are not cheap this time, right? I don’t know if it’s enough.”

She looked towards the window and said in a low voice.

Qin Ran touched her lips and thought for a while before saying, “Not much, it was three thousand yuan.”

2Three thousand yuan was not even enough for a minor surgery, hospitalization, and inspection.

Ning Wei smiled and patted Qin Ran’s hand before saying softly, “If you don’t take it, I won’t feel at ease.”

Hearing this, Qin Ran pressed her eyebrows, folded the paper, and stuffed it into her pocket.

It was Friday.

It was the shift after every two weeks.

School ended early in the afternoon.

Mu Ying also came to the hospital by car—Ning Qing was especially generous because of Ning Wei’s injury.

As soon as she got off the elevator on the eighth floor, she saw that Ning Wei’s ward was surrounded by a bunch of doctors.

And amongst them was Cheng Juan, who was wearing a black trench coat that complemented his beautiful appearance.

He was surrounded by several directors who were rarely seen.

Qin Ran came out of the ward.

Mu Ying was taken aback and quickly hid.

She was afraid of Qin Ran ever since the last incident. Ning Qing and the rest did not stay in Ninghai Town and did not know how famous Qin Ran was, but Mu Ying knew.

1Qin Ran’s character seemed to have changed a lot in Yun Cheng, but Mu Ying didn’t dare to forget Qin Ran’s feat in Ninghai Town. She always felt like the character buried deep inside Qin Ran’s body would come out at any time.

1Mu Ying watched as Qin Ran and Cheng Juan entered the elevator before finally daring to come out.

She pursed her lips and immediately regretted being so willful the last time.

She walked over to Ning Wei’s ward irritably.

Mu Ying happened to see a nurse coming out. She couldn’t help but stop the nurse and ask who Cheng Juan was.

Why did the doctors in the hospital surround him so respectfully?

The nurse took care of Ning Wei and recognized her as Ning Wei’s daughter, so she smiled at Mu Ying and replied, “That’s Mr. Cheng. He’s a doctor and a friend of our dean.”

She did not say more.

The dean’s friend?

Mu Ying lowered her head. She naturally remembered Cheng Juan and also remembered that he was driving a Volkswagen, but when was he the dean’s friend?

**

The elevator went to Chen Shulan’s floor directly.

Qin Ran was prepared to head to Devil City at night and her plane was at seven o’clock, so she planned to go directly to the airport after visiting Ning Wei and Chen Shulan.

Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Mu waited at the elevator upstairs.

They knew Chen Shulan but were not familiar with Ning Wei, so they did not go downstairs to visit her.

Lu Zhaoying had played games until late at night and couldn’t stop yawning.

He quickly went to Qin Ran when he saw the two of them getting down the elevator. “Qin Ran, continue playing in the arena at night with me. I want to introduce a master with many stars to you.”

OST was going to play against Country H in Devil City soon, so many people had gone to the arena passionately to fight.

“How many stars?” Qin Ran asked with one hand in her pocket.

She was talking about the Supreme stars.

Lu Zhaoying replied immediately, “Nine stars! She’s about two hundred points away from advancing!”

“A solo player with nine stars in the Supreme level.” Qin Ran nodded. This player was indeed a master.

Lu Zhaoying was shocked when he heard her. “… I was talking about the Guru level, but she only lacks two hundred points to advance. After four consecutive victories, she can achieve one star on the Supreme level.”

Qin Ran paused and said slowly to Lu Zhaoying, “Guru… nine stars, and that’s considered high?”

1Cheng Mu said, “Miss Qin, it’s like this, it’s really difficult to play solo. In the international server, any solo player with four stars at the Supreme level is already considered a professional. But as for nine stars at the Supreme level… I don’t think there are many players in the professional team?”
