“Birthday growth recording?” Qin Ran picked up her chopsticks thoughtfully. “How did you know?”

Looking down and lowering his eyes, Cheng Juan thought for a long time before looking up and answering unreasonably, “I just know.”

Qin Ran was speechless.

Fine.

“Cheng Mu, where are my things?” She turned to Cheng Mu.

When she came down, Cheng Mu had just moved upstairs to take care of her flower pot. This pot of flowers was exceptionally delicate and required a bunch of nursing tools.

Hearing this, he moved the flower pot to the window. “They’re all in the library downstairs.”

Qin Ran had a box of treasures inside, plentiful and messy. She had brought this box over from Heng Chuan First Middle School. When Cheng Mu asked her what was inside, she only said there was a treasure.

Cheng Mu had kept her treasure and put it in his secret base downstairs. He had observed it carefully but found nothing in particular. Since she called it her “treasure,” he didn’t dare to handle it carelessly…

He had forgotten about it after two months in Beijing and only remembered it at this moment…

Looking up slightly at her, Cheng Juan smiled casually. “Eat first, then go downstairs.”

A few minutes later, Qin Ran finished her meal and went down with Cheng Mu.

A step behind, Cheng Juan followed her unhurriedly.

“Why do you want to look at that all of a sudden?” Qin Ran walked down the stairs and turned slightly, her voice clear and cold.

“I’m curious.” Cheng Juan chuckled.

He put his hand in his pocket and followed her casually, his head slightly lowered. He leaned closer to her and smiled gently. “I’m curious about how you lived last time.”

“Oh.” Qin Ran avoided his gaze calmly and said lazily, “I was just playing truancy, fighting, and playing games.”

“Oh, really?” Cheng Juan straightened his back and raised an eyebrow. “Student Qin seems to have been very impressive in school.”

They reached downstairs in just two minutes.

Cheng Mu opened the door with a key.

Cheng Juan was just a step behind her. His smile quickly faded as he stared at her back.

Master Wei had informed him about the matter last night.

Cheng Juan also suddenly remembered the birthday video that Chen Shulan had once told him about. At that time, she had only mentioned bits and pieces of it, mostly about how Qin Ran’s birthday party had been very lively and crowded at that time. Although she had already been ill-tempered, she didn’t refuse when they asked her to play the violin.

Cheng Juan had a good memory and remembered Chen Shulan’s words and expressions clearly.

Her expression had been slightly strange when she said this.

Cheng Juan remembered it instantly after Master Wei told him about Qin Yu yesterday.

Even though he had indeed been curious, he hadn’t been willing to make her dig up the past.

Only this time…

He lowered his eyes coldly.

Cheng Mu opened the door, and Qin Ran followed behind him, her eyes sweeping across the room. It was filled with Cheng Mu’s childhood toys, and she couldn’t see her big black box anywhere. She put her hands behind her back and asked, “Where’s my box?”

“Miss Qin, don’t worry,” Cheng Mu responded immediately.

With that, he opened a secret compartment and took out Qin Ran’s large black suitcase from a large, obviously custom-made safe. It was an extremely oversized suitcase, and it was a little heavy for ordinary people. However, Cheng Mu picked it up effortlessly and placed it carefully in front of her.

She was speechless.

Kneeling down, she unzipped the black suitcase.

Cheng Juan also squatted down beside her and looked at the box of treasures.

Cheng Mu was also curious about her treasures. He raised his hand and asked, “Miss- Miss Qin, can I look at your treasures?”

Without looking up, Qin Ran replied nonchalantly, “It’s nothing much. You can look.”

Cheng Juan glanced up at him.

Opening the luggage, it revealed a bunch of random things inside, arranged haphazardly without any order. Qin Ran dug through it casually.

What caught their eye was a golden trumpet-shaped trophy.

Qin Ran had sent it back to Yan Xi, but he had refused and returned it to her, so she had just put it in the luggage.

In the corner was a simple wooden box with slightly rusty locks on it.

And also some messy books…

…

Unable to find the item she was looking for, she went to the other side and finally found the gift Pan Mingyue had given her at the apprentices.h.i.+p banquet.

As she took it out, the pink diamond that Gu Xichi had once given her rolled from the videotape to the corner of the box.

Cheng Mu was speechless as he watched this scene.

Regardless of the other things, just this pink diamond alone was worthy of being put in special protection in a safe.

He squatted at the corner of the box furthest away from them and looked from the pink diamond to the other objects. After all, he had seen a bigger diamond at Gu Xichi’s house. Furthermore, Leader Du and the others brought back a box of diamonds with each business trip.

Cheng Mu put his focus on the book next to the pink diamond. Its cover didn’t look like a book…

It seemed like a comic.

It hadn’t been opened, but still looked dated. This reminded him of what Lu Zhaoying said to him back in Yun Cheng, about how Qin Ran had once drawn a bulletin board at school. That was the first time she established her tyranny…

Cheng Juan counted nine discs, from 9 to 19 years old, except for a year.

After a year, Qin Ran glanced at these videos again and didn’t feel as emotional as last year.

Pan Mingyue’s mother liked videotapes. Every year on New Year’s Day or on either Qin Ran’s or Pan Mingyue’s birthday, she would always make a video recording. As for Wei Zihang and Song Luting, they once asked Pan Mingyue’s mother if she had a bias against boys because she didn’t make any video recordings for them. Pan Mingyue’s mother had admitted it very generously—

Qin Ran tilted her head back and stopped thinking about those things.

Putting her things away, she closed the box and asked Cheng Mu to put the box in the safe again.

After getting the video, Cheng Juan went back to his room to watch it alone.

At the same time.

At the border.

A bearded man stood behind Cheng Huo with his eyebrow raised. He spoke in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Cheng Huo, can you do it? It’s been almost an hour.”

“d.a.m.n! Of course, I can!” Cheng Huo hurriedly typed on the keyboard, but there were still two obvious letters on the screen—

K, O.

Blatantly arrogant!

Completely provocative!

“Really?” The bearded man had a pair of very beautiful amber eyes, but it was full of contempt at the moment. “And then?”

Cheng Huo gritted his teeth and released the keyboard. “The other party isn’t easy…” He admitted.

“How easy can the person pitting against Giant Crocodile be? Forget it. How are you worthy of the Hacker Alliance’s top 10?” The bearded man was very perfunctory as if he was driving a fly away. “Leave quickly, I don’t need you!”

“Are you kidding?” Cheng Huo couldn’t control his temper. “d.a.m.n. What do you know? This person is almost on the same level as our President. I guess I can only rely on my sister-in-law now…”

The bearded man appeared calm, but he still asked in a distasteful tone, “What sister-in-law, will she even care?”

“Why wouldn’t she? We’re on very good terms!” Cheng Huo jumped up and made an international call with his phone.

It didn’t connect.

The bearded man sneered.

Cheng Huo paused, gripping the phone tightly in his hands. “… My sister-in-law must be playing games. Wait a while!”

He called again.

She still didn’t pick up.

Folding his arms, the bearded man raised an eyebrow and chuckled again.

Cheng Huo gritted his teeth. “… My sister-in-law must be in school! You have to wait a while!”

Cheng Huo’s call finally got through on the third try. He raised an eyebrow triumphantly at the bearded man and spoke in a completely different tone, “Miss Qin, help!”

Qin Ran had just changed her clothes.

She put the phone in her ear.

Cheng Huo’s voice was quite explosive. She moved her phone ten centimeters away from her ear involuntarily.

“What is it?” she turned off the computer and asked casually.

Cheng Huo knew she wasn’t very patient, so he looked at the computer and explained it to her concisely. “Miss Qin, only you can save me!”

Hearing this, Qin Ran’s curiosity was piqued. She stayed there and leaned against the computer desk. “That person’s computer skills can match up to your President’s?”

“Of course.” Cheng Huo nodded frantically. Thinking of how Qin Ran couldn’t see it, he repeated himself several more times.

As a hacker himself, he was naturally very confident and a.s.sured in his own judgment.

Qin Ran was more interested after hearing this.

She put the stowed computer on the table again, then sat down on a chair and said calmly, “Pa.s.s me the information.”

She restarted the computer.

Cheng Huo was busy logging into his account and sending a bunch of complicated things to her.

After receiving the information from him, she opened it and then started the command window.
