After this, another message was immediately sent—

[I heard that it’s for big boss’s self-entertainment and not for sale. Where did you find it? Can you show it to me?]

“It’s because Brother Gu gave me the experimental drugs.” Qin Ling was very respectful to Teacher Ku Ke. He paused, then replied, “I’ve heard that Big Brother Cheng’s operation was also successful…”

Qin Ling saw Teacher Ku Ke stare at his phone in a daze.

“Teacher, are you okay?” Qin Ling hesitated but nudged him.

Ku Ke was startled. However, remembering Qin Ling had a craniotomy, he did not want to frighten him.

“Xiao Ling, did your sister give you that black book?” Ku Ke held onto the bed with both hands.

Qin Ling squinted his eyes. Recalling which book Ku Ke was talking about, he replied, “Yes, most of my books were given to me by my sister…”

Ku Ke did not finish listening to his reply.

He sprung up from his chair. Without any explanation, he opened the door and left.

“What’s with Teacher Ku Ke?” Ah Wen waited for them to return to their senses and stared blankly at Ku Ke’s direction.

Qin Ling squinted slightly. The black book contained many high-level codes, and he enjoyed it very much.

Qin Ran typically gave him unpopular books, so Qin Ling didn’t know that he was reading an advanced book.

Also, the way she delivered the books was really…

Sloppy.

Seeing Teacher Ku Ke’s expression, Qin Ling realized that Qin Ran did not give him an ordinary book.

Qin Ling frowned.

He lifted his head to look at Ah Hai, then s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Ah Wen. “Uncle Ah Wen, could you lock all my books in the cabinet later tonight?”

Lock all the books?

What was this weird request?

Ah Wen did not reject him. He nodded and said, “Yes, I will.”

…

Ku Ke was slower than Qin Ran.

When Qin Ran and Qin Xiuchen had reached the first floor, he had only reached the lift lobby.

But Qin Xiuchen’s car was parked right outside the hospital. At this moment, he was still talking to Qin Ran by the roadside.

It was getting dark, approaching 5:30 pm.

Before Qin Xiuchen could get in the car with Qin Ran, Ku Ke shouted, “Mr. Qin, wait!”

He ran up to them, panting. Qin Xiuchen was surprised. “Teacher Ku Ke, what’s wrong?”

Ku Ke nodded and turned to Qin Ran. “Sorry for my impoliteness, but how did you have the Hacker Alliance’s programming book?”

The street lights lit up.

Qin Ran’s face was visible with the light. Hearing this, she turned and said calmly, “Do you mean that black book?”

Ku Ke nodded vigorously.

Qin Xiuchen’s manager heard Ku Ke’s words from the side.

The manager was stunned. “What’s the Hacker Alliance’s programming book?”

“It’s a programming book from the Hacker Alliance. It was written by the Hacker Alliance. It’s not for sale, and only internal members have access to it.” Ku Ke explained to the manager, but his gaze did not leave Qin Ran.

Hearing his explanation, the manager was even more shocked.

“Does the Hacker Alliance really exist?” The manager grabbed Ku Ke’s shoulders and said excitedly, “Does this mean that the commotion on the Internet about hacker Q is true? They are not rumors?”

To ordinary people, the Hacker Alliance was like a legend.

The rumors on the Internet hadn’t been proven by anybody.

Ku Ke finally turned to look at the manager. “Of course they’re not rumors.”

“Little niece, how did you get hold of the Hacker Alliance programming book?” The manager asked Qin Ran excitedly.

Qin Ran looked at the manager and Ku Ke. She hesitated for a few seconds before smiling and saying, “I don’t know. My neighbor bought it from somewhere and gave it to me, which I then gave to Xiao Ling.”

Her expression and tone were calm.

It did not seem that she was lying.

Her straight face was very convincing.

The manager and Ku Ke believed her.

Qin Xiuchen stood by the side silently without saying a word.

Ku Ke said a few words to Qin Ran and then bade them farewell.

In Qin Xiuchen’s huge van, the manager couldn’t help but sigh. “The Hacker Alliance actually exists. How did little niece’s neighbor get hold of that book…”

…

Meanwhile, Qin Ran also got in the car.

Cheng Mu opened the car door in front while Qin Ran sat on the backseat. She took out her phone to message her neighbor.

She wasn’t lying. She didn’t know that the book was only available to internal members of the Hacker Alliance, but she knew that it was written by them. Since it wasn’t sold to the public…

So, why did Lu Zhixin have it…

Qin Ran thought for a while and sent a message—

[What’s your relations.h.i.+p with the Hacker Alliance?]

She remembered her neighbor saying that he didn’t like the Hacker Alliance and thus did not join them.

As for Qin Ran…

The Hacker Alliance had invited her to join them multiple times. Her other ident.i.ty was also invited to join…

Her neighbor seemed to be busy and did not reply.

As Cheng Mu drove the car to the underground car park, her neighbor called.

“Why did you ask me this question?” It was quiet on the 28th floor. Lu Zhixin saw the two candidates and walked into the meeting room with his phone in hand.

His tone was flat and straightforward.

His staff poured him a cup of tea.

It was made with seven tea leaves.

He looked down and took a sip.

Qin Ran alighted from the car with her backpack.

She was careless and did not wear her scarf. “I’m just curious. You’re not a member of the Hacker Alliance, so why can you still invite me to join them?”

“It’s nothing.” Lu Zhixin put the teacup down on the table. As Qin Ran did not ask previously, he did not explain much. Since she asked now, he had nothing to hide. Afraid that she might get involved with the Hacker Alliance, he said, “My father is the Hacker Alliance’s Chairman. Not many people know about this. He hasn’t found the right person to inherit his position.”
