Jian Dan had spent the entire morning in front of the computer, and his head was spinning with the code whizzing by on the screen. He stretched his arms, thinking about stepping out for some fresh air.
Jian Dan didnât wander far, just meandering close to his room. Since his room was near the entrance of the training camp, it happened that he saw Ouyang Jing arguing with the security guard.
The moment he saw Ouyang Jing, Jian Danâs brow furrowed.
If he was here at this time, it didnât take a genius to figure out, he must have been looking for Zheng Chengcheng.
Jian Dan hadnât wanted to get involved because he didnât want to drag Ouyang Jing into this. However, seeing him almost coming to blows with the guards, he felt he had to step in.
Given his fighting skills, he was bound to be at a disadvantage!
âHow come youâve only just arrived? Iâve been getting anxious.â
âHey, whatâs going on?â Jian Dan glanced at Ouyang Jing, signaling him with his eyes.
Ouyang Jing caught on and didnât deny it.
âSo youâre from New E Media? Why didnât you say so earlier? And you didnât bring your work badge!â Although the guard didnât know Jian Danâs true identity, he was aware she was from New E Media.
âYou didnât bring your work badge? How could you be so careless!
âSorry about this! There was an important document he needed to deliver, and in his rush, he must have forgotten it!â Jian Dan explained to the guard. âCan you see Iâm in quite a hurry here, is there any chance you could make an exception for me?â
âAlright then! Get in quickly! But remember, next time you must bring your work badge, okay?â The guard, not wanting to offend New E Media, gave face to Jian Dan.
âThank you, I shall remember next time!
âHurry up! Weâve been waiting for you!â Jian Dan addressed Ouyang Jing.
Ouyang Jing said nothing and followed Jian Dan insideâ¦
After taking just a few steps, Ouyang Jing spoke up, âJian, what brings you here?â
âDonât talk, just follow me!â To ensure the walls had no ears.
Ouyang Jing promptly followed without speaking further.
Back in the roomâ¦
âCan we talk now?â Ouyang Jing asked quietly.
âYes, but keep your voice down!â
âOkay!
âJian, what are you doing here?â
âWorking!â
âYouâre working here, too? My sister is here as well!â Ouyang Jing said with a smile.
When Jian Dan heard Ouyang Jing mention his sister, a shadow passed quickly over her eyes.
âMy sister, I donât know whatâs been happening with her lately. Iâve been trying to call her, and can never get through. I know the training camp is isolated, but she hasnât reached out to me either, so I got worried and came straight here!â
Jian Dan hung her head and took a deep breath, struggling to contain her emotions.
âBy the way, since youâre working here, you must know my sister. Can you take me to see her? My sister is Zheng Chengcheng!â Ouyang Jing hadnât noticed anything off about Jian Dan.
Looking at Ouyang Jingâs face, Jian Dan felt incredibly uncomfortable inside.
Should she tell him about Zheng Chengcheng?
Wouldnât that be too cruel?
âHey, are you decrypting something?â Ouyang Jingâs attention was caught by the decoding process underway on the computer.
âAh! Yeah! Itâs a decoding game!â Jian Dan rushed to stand in front of the computer screen.
âJian, donât fool me. What decoding game? I can tell at a glance!
âYouâre hacking into someone elseâs computer!â Ouyang Jing blurted out. âBut donât worry, I wonât tell anyone, and actuallyâ¦
âIâm a hacker too!â Ouyang Jing whispered, leaning close to Jian Dan.
Jian Dan never would have guessed that Ouyang Jing was also an expert in computers!
âLetâs talk about that later. Please, take me to my sister first. Iâm really worried about her!â
âSheâ¦â For a moment, Jian Dan didnât know how to react.
The usually obtuse Ouyang Jing finally sensed something was wrong with Jian Danâ¦
