Chapter 456 - Identities in the 129 Club

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Zhixin’s voice was warm and calm.

Qin Ran was speechless.

It was weird when Lu Zhixin recruited her previously.

She didn’t know that members could join the Hacker Alliance without a referral.

If Lu Zhixin was the Hacker Alliance chairman’s son... Everything now made sense.

They hung up.

Lu Zhixin took the teacup and walked towards the lounge. Before he walked out, he received a call from Continent M.

He glanced at his phone and immediately picked up the call.

With his usual tone, he said, “Dad.”

It was 1 am at Continent M. The elder was dressed in a nightgown with wrinkles on his face. His eyes were cloudy and he was thin.

He was holding onto the newly released appraisal.

“Are you in Beijing right now?” The elder’s face was solemn.

Lu Zhixin went to the lounge. Standing beside the window, he replied, “Yes.”

Lu Zhixin was laconic and unlike himself. The elder nodded and said, “I know your Auntie’s whereabouts. She has some children in Beijing.”

“Auntie?” Lu Zhixin nodded slightly. From when he could remember, he had never seen his long lost Auntie.

His reaction was cold. The elder frowned.

He wanted Lu Zhixin to attend to this matter, but there were still many appraisals unpublished.

Knowing Lu Zhixin’s personality, it was difficult to get him to work.

“It’s okay, I will investigate this matter myself.” The elder hung up.

He couldn’t wait, so he took his jacket and was about to leave.

The men standing outside looked at him and said, “Sir, we’re not fully prepared. And... won’t you scare them if you go back like this...”

“Yes, you’re right.” The elder nodded and turned back restlessly. “I wonder what my sister’s children look like. Right, did the Lu family send any pictures over...”

He nagged and asked Beijing to send some information over. He also ordered some men to investigate his sister’s children.

The Lu family quickly sent over information on Qin Hanqiu.

...

At the Lu family.

Madam Lu sat on the sofa with her legs raised. She was playing a game when she received a phone call.

She saw that the call was from Continent M and picked it up immediately.

Madam Lu stood up from the sofa and walked outside with a serious expression.

Lu Zhaoying, who had just come home, frowned in confusion upon seeing his mother’s expression.

He thought it must be a call from his Great Aunt. He had never seen such expression on his arrogant Mom unless it was because of Great Aunt.

A few minutes later, Madam Lu returned with a complex expression.

Lu Zhaoying laid on the sofa. Seeing his Mom’s expression, he asked, “Mom, what’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing.” She looked at him and walked towards the sofa slowly. Thinking, she said, “I might have offended Ran Ran father’s...”

But she remembered that Lu Zhaoying might betray her.

Madam Lu glanced at him and did not mention it again. “How’s Xiao Ling’s condition?”

“With Master Juan there, nothing will happen,” Lu Zhaoying said calmly.

He stood up and went upstairs directly.

With the results from Qin Ran’s hair, Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ling were basically finalized. The plan must happen without fail.

No matter what, Great Aunt’s relatives would come back, including Great Uncle...

Madam Lu frowned. Beijing’s peace might be ruined.

She should settle the matters before Great Uncle and the others were back.

...

In Beijing Capital.

Qin Ran had reached home.

In the living room.

Cheng Wenru was sitting on the sofa, wearing a serious expression.

“What happened to my younger brother?” She sighed.

Cheng Jin poured her a cup of tea. “There’s some information, but we’re facing a bit of trouble.”

Cheng Wenru lifted her head. “What trouble? My Big Brother is looking for Ouyang Wei. She has found some information too...”

“Cheng Shui said Master Juan and that force...” Cheng Jin’s lips twitched as he said this.

He didn’t dare to say that they had grudges in fear of scaring Cheng Wenru.

Continent M was originally established by a few superior forces...

When Cheng Juan was young, he unknowingly provoked these forces...

As they spoke, they heard a sound from the door.

Cheng Wenru immediately stopped talking.

Qin Ran entered after changing her shoes.

Cheng Wenru’s expressions changed. She fixed her shawl and walked towards the dining table with a calm expression. “Ran Ran, you’re back.”

She then asked the kitchen to start serving dinner.

Cheng Wenru was busy these two days. She had to worry about work, Leader Du, and Cheng Juan’s situation in Continent M.

She knew that Cheng Juan wasn’t around and so intentionally came over to accompany Qin Ran after work.

She didn’t want her to worry about this complicated matter and did not mention it to her.

But she didn’t know that Cheng Jin had already told Qin Ran about this.

Qin Ran set aside her scarf and jacket, then walked towards the dining table and sat down. “Are you busy these days?”

Cheng Wenru looked exhausted.

Before she could speak, Cheng Jin said, “Eldest Lady has been worrying about the matter with Master Juan in Continent M.”

Cheng Wenru hadn’t thought of a way to reveal it to Qin Ran. How did Cheng Jin do it so easily?

Qin Ran held the teacup that Cheng Mu had brought over, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

The manor on the other side of Continent M was quite influential.

Continent M was divided into a few parts by other forces.

They didn’t know what happened to Second Hall Master, but it was for sure that nothing bad would happen.

Information about Continent M wasn’t readily available to people in Beijing.

Cheng Wenru thought that Qin Ran would be worried when she knew about this. She didn’t expect her to be so calm. This was unfitting of her image...

While she was thinking, Qin Ran placed some vegetables into her bowl. “Sister Cheng, please eat.”

Cheng Wenru came to her senses. She picked up her chopsticks and ate the vegetables.

After eating, Cheng Wenru spent the night in the only guest room.

She bathed and switched on her office computer. Pondering, she took out her cell phone.

Ouyang Wei sent over a few website links on WeChat.

Cheng Wenru stared at the links for a few seconds before replying to her with a “Thank you.”

She browsed the links with her computer and quickly entered a black forum.

Exactly 129 pages.

She wasn’t a member and could only set up a normal account with her phone number.

She was looking for the membership’s payment process.

Before she was done searching, someone knocked on her door.

It was Qin Ran.

She was holding two glasses of warm milk, one for herself and one for Cheng Wenru. “Cheng Mu heated it.”

Cheng Wenru opened the door to let her in. “You’re not busy today?”

“We have a new member, so I’m not too busy.” Qin Ran’s gaze stopped at her computer screen showing the payment page.

Cheng Wenru nodded and took a sip of the milk.

Seeing Qin Ran’s attention on her computer, she said, “It has 129 pages. You must be curious. I’ll send them to you later.”

The 129 pages contained only individual links unable to be searched for on the Internet.

It required a special engine and codes.

“No need.” Qin Ran drank her milk and pondered. “Are you purchasing the membership? Let me help you.”

“Do you know how to? The process is written on the website.” Before she could continue, her phone rang.

She took it and saw that the call was from Old Master Cheng.

Since he was calling at this hour, he must want to discuss Leader Du’s situation in Continent M.

Cheng Wenru looked at Qin Ran. She didn’t know what Old Master Cheng wanted to speak to her about, so she left the room to pick up the call.

Qin Ran sat on the stool in front of the computer and started typing.

Three minutes later.

Cheng Wenru had finished speaking on the phone. She gathered herself together and went back to the room.

Standing up from the chair, Qin Ran’s fingertips moved away from the keyboard. “Sister Cheng, I’ve set it up for you. Sleep early.”

Cheng Wenru sent her out. When she returned to her computer, she became stunned.
