Chapter 226: Mainly Depends on Big Boss’s Face, Nobleman Takes Revenge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tang Qing had contacted her uncle the moment she went back.
But her uncle was very busy and they had very little contact. After finally getting his reply, she had immediately rushed over to find Cheng Huo.
“My uncle said it might be a little troublesome…” Tang Qing put her phone on the table and looked up at Cheng Huo, her eyes lit up.
Cheng Huo copied a small simulator, typed in a string of codes with one hand, and smiled up at Tang Qing. He reached out and snapped his finger. “Xiao Hei.”
Tang Qing was taken aback at this moment and was still at a loss. Cheng Huo had been so anxious in the afternoon, but why was he so calm now?
She was just wondering about this.
Behind Cheng Huo, a robot slowly came out.
Xiao Hei glanced at Cheng Huo and said in an obviously mechanical voice that was somehow laced with a bit of disdain. “Mr. Cheng Huo, do you have any orders? I’m still charging.”
“… It’s okay, you can go back and charge,” Cheng Huo finally hit the “enter” key and said softly.
Xiao Hei glanced at Cheng Huo again.
Then, he went back to charge himself.
Touching his head and leaning back once Xiao Hei had left, Cheng Huo turned towards Tang Qing and said, “I’ve already activated EA3. It’s called Xiao Hei.”
Tang Qing finally looked away and turned back, her blond hair shaking slightly. Her defined and delicate face showed disbelief. “How did you activate EA3?”
“It wasn’t me, it was Miss Qin.” The simulator on the computer started, so Cheng Huo sat upright and stared at the computer simulation screen. “She knows how to control EA3.”
These two days in the manor, other than Cheng Huo and the Boss, Tang Qing had heard about Miss Qin the most.
Standing there, her eyebrows twitched.
However, the next second, she was shocked by the simulation system on Cheng Huo’s computer.
Staring at the entire single-series simulation system, Cheng Huo took a deep breath and turned to look at Tang Qing. “This is a piece of program code I got from linking Xiao Hei to the computer, but I haven’t fully solved it yet. Can your uncle come to the manor?”
With such a magical program, not only Cheng Huo, but every other hacker who saw it would surely be eager to communicate with the creator.
“I don’t know, I’ll ask him again at night,” said Tang Qing as she calmed down.
Cheng Huo nodded, then turned back to his computer. “Come and see this string of codes. By the way, did you bring your computer…”

Qin Ran gave special training to Cheng Mu for more than a week.
She had already tried many of Gu Xichi’s medicines.
On the twelfth day, she asked Shi Liming to fight Cheng Mu. She didn’t watch them and went back to her study… to practice writing.
“Miss Qin, this is the package from the Yunguang Consortium.” Cheng Shui knocked on the door and came in.
He glanced at Qin Ran’s copybook. Although she was left-handed, her writing was really pretty. Each stroke was vigorous with style and outlined her willfulness.
She still practiced such good writing every day. Cheng Shui sighed secretly.
Of course, if Cheng Mu was here, he would definitely tell him that a few months ago, Qin Ran’s writing hadn’t looked like this.
Cheng Shui directly handed the package to her.
A life and death match was basically held every day or every few days.
Cheng Mu had several life or death matches in a day and so consumed a great amount of medicine.
Half of it had already been used up.
Qin Ran put down her pen and set aside her copybook.
Beside her, Cheng Juan poured a cup of tea for himself and her. Now that Cheng Mu wasn’t here, such trivial things were generally handled by him. On the way, he also handed her a pair of scissors.
Qin Ran took it naturally and opened the package.
Cheng Shui looked on from the side, his heart a roaring sea despite his calm expression.
Another pack of medicines.
Qin Ran took out a few bottles and pointed at one bottle to Cheng Juan. “This bottle, didn’t Gu Xichi say he already snatched all of your master’s last time?”
There was another batch?
“It’s from another doctor.” Cheng Juan scanned the code on the bottle cap to find out where the medicine came from. He raised an eyebrow and replied, “He probably swept through the entire medical organization.”
Qin Ran nodded. This sounded reasonable.
Glancing at her and then leaning slightly against the table, Cheng Juan looked down and took out his phone. He clicked on Gu Xichi’s profile and squinted.
He slowly sent a message—
[You really went all-out.]
Gu Xichi, on the other side, was smacking Jiang Dongye’s hand and preventing him from messing around with his stuff. His mobile phone lit up, displaying Cheng Juan’s name on it.
Shocked, Gu Xichi picked it up and the phone unlocked automatically to show Cheng Juan’s message.
Inexplicably, he felt a chill on his back.
He pressed on his phone and sent a reply—
[I learned it all from my senior, I can’t fall short.]
This was indeed true. Back then, Cheng Juan had taken the medical manual to block the whole medical organization. So, not to mention the young students, even the doctors and teachers had to throw in the towel.
He was a personal machine.
Rather than following in his footsteps, Gu Xichi felt like he had only learned about two percent of his essence. After all, he had mainly obtained the medicine by half-threatening and half-robbing while depending on the diamond big boss’s face.
The doctors in the medical organization all knew that the big boss had funded most of their research in recent years. Hence, they only scolded him on the surface, but in reality, they didn’t make any substantial obstructive movements.
After all, Gu Xichi had left them a sample for each medicine.

In the afternoon.
Qin Ran changed her clothes and walked slowly towards the training room on the first floor.
When she arrived there, Cheng Mu was hitting the boxing machine.
Meanwhile, Shi Liming was lying on the ground on one side, his body drained of color, and his face an even more tragic sight.
Every dog had his day.
There would be a time he would be beaten down by Cheng Mu.
It had taken about half a month.
If Shi Liming hadn’t personally witnessed Cheng Mu receiving special training from Qin Ran and practicing with blood, sweat, and tears, he really would have doubted if Cheng Mu was the same person.
Qin Ran reached out and took a bottle of medicine out of the package. She gave one bottle to Shi Liming, throwing it accurately into his hand. “Three pills.”
Shi Liming scrambled up and held the medicine bottle in his hands, his eyes teary.
He actually had such a day.
“Miss Qin.” Cheng Mu finished punching and turned to show Qin Ran his scores.
The three punches he recorded had scored—
845.
859.
857.
From a score of around 600 to more than 800, he had improved by more than one grade.
This wasn’t just a result of his daily hellish training, but also due to Gu Xichi’s bone-strengthening medicine.
Besides the boxing machine, Shi Liming had also personally experienced Cheng Mu’s combat skills. His combat was the likes of Qin Ran—ruthless and accurate—as if he was throwing his life on the line.
After taking the medicine, Shi Liming felt its effect almost immediately. His face didn’t hurt as much, but he still couldn’t help grimacing. He was impressed by Cheng Mu, who went through this seven or eight times a day. He was really good at enduring pain.
Qin Ran stared at the boxing machine’s scores in dissatisfaction but still nodded. “Follow me downstairs.”
Cheng Mu thought Qin Ran had come to beat him.
He froze for a moment after hearing this. “We’re not having special training today?”
“Yeah, we’ll go to the training ground downstairs to find that…” Qin Ran narrowed her eyes and she glanced at Shi Liming. “That Jerry?”
Shi Liming: “… Yes.”
Feeling less pain in his body, he silently put on a mask and went downstairs with Qin Ran.
He would only feel reconciled after seeing Jerry beaten to a miserable pulp.

On the training ground downstairs.
There was no strong wind outside today, and even with the sunshine above, the weather was still inexplicably cold.
Jerry seldom came to the training ground these days as he was too busy with Xiao Hei’s code. Cheng Huo basically lived in the information hall now.
However, they had fallen into a bottleneck period these past two days, so Jerry, Tang Qing, and the others had all come to the training ground.
“Jerry, that Cheng Mu hasn’t been coming for almost half a month. I guess he’s afraid of you,” someone greeted Tang Qing and then said in amusement.
Jerry squinted disdainfully and said directly, “Half a month? Shi Liming didn’t come either. Cheng Mu that coward buzzes around that woman all day long. He’ll be eliminated by Mr. Cheng Shui sooner or later.”
Then, he turned around to Tang Qing and immediately spoke in a more respectful tone, “Miss Tang Qing, my apologies. I wasn’t talking about you, you’re naturally different from other women…”
Over the past ten days, Tang Qing’s ability had spoken for itself in the information hall. In terms of capability, she was only under Cheng Huo, and she even had a supposedly powerful uncle.
Tang Qing’s brows relaxed.
She didn’t say anything.
Not far away, Cheng Mu and the others walked over slowly.
Everyone on the training ground recognized Qin Ran, who slowly followed Cheng Mu. They immediately made way for her and greeted respectfully. “Miss Qin.”
