The Tang family was naturally protective. Lu Zhixin and Tang Qing had the highest statuses in the family.

The Tang family couldn’t understand Lu Zhixin’s high position. However, everyone knew that he was able to join Hacker Alliance at 20 years old, and even though he was pulled in by someone else, the fact that he was accepted meant that he must be very capable.

In this situation, Qin Ling and Qin Hanqiu’s att.i.tudes toward the Tang family and Tang Qing made the Tang family members displeased.

Finis.h.i.+ng his words, the Tang family’s chief steward lifted his head.

He looked at Qin Ling’s and the others’ expressions.

Qin Xiuchen’s manager’s expression changed slightly. “Hacker Alliance?”

He had heard Teacher Ku Ke mention about Hacker Alliance previously. He didn’t know much about these top hackers and treated them like legends.

Ku Ke only mentioned the Hacker Alliance and confirmed its existence.

But now…

What Teacher Ku Ke heard was a rumor. However, the chief steward actually said that Miss Qin joined the Hacker Alliance?

Unsurprisingly, the manager was shocked.

The manager couldn’t hide his emotions, and the Tang family’s chief steward realized what he was thinking.

The chief steward had expected this reaction. He chuckled and did not continue speaking. However, he froze after seeing Qin Ran’s and Qin Ling’s reactions…

He couldn’t tell what Qin Ling was thinking.

Qin Ran was waiting for a message on her phone. She always had several things on her mind at the same time. Hearing the chief steward’s words, her expression remained calm as she said, “Excuse me.”

The chief steward paused and subconsciously took a step back.

Qin Ran turned her gaze to her phone and walked forward calmly.

Behind, the chief steward clenched his fists tightly.

How could a 20-year-old lady have such sharp eyes…

Looking at Qin Ran’s back view, the chief steward thought he might have misunderstood the situation…

Tang Jun was about to head off to meet Lu Zhixin and did not chat for long with Qin Hanqiu and the rest.

After a group of people had left.

The manager looked at Qin Xiuchen to clarify about Miss Qin. “It will be good if Xiao Ling has a relations.h.i.+p with Miss Tang. This Tang family is not simple…”

Qin Xiuchen made a correct decision by not allowing them to have much contact with the Tang family.

“Hacker Alliance?” Butler Qin turned to the manager for more information. He asked doubtingly, “Is this Hacker Alliance similar to Black Hat?”

The manager hesitated before replying, “Their system must be different…”

He only knew that the Hacker Alliance was powerful. As he wasn’t a hacker and didn’t understand much about programming.

“The Hacker Alliance consists of a group of top hackers.” Qin Ran put her phone in her pocket and replied, “It’s a dark network dedicated to disrupting international organizations. Anyone can enter the Hacker Alliance as long as they are qualified. Those who make it in can be considered the top 200 hackers in the world.”

Cheng Mu’s car stopped nearby after she finished her sentence.

Qin Ran waved her hand and said, “We’ll leave at 3 am.”

Their location was quite a distance from the airport, and their flight was at 10:30 am tomorrow. As they had to visit Qin Hanqiu, they would have to bring their timeline forward.

Qin Xiuchen sent Qin Ran off before turning back.

The manager then said, “Wow. Top 200 hackers in the world.”

There were billions of people in the world. To be placed in the top 200 was extraordinary.

Even Qin Xiuchen nodded slightly.

Qin Hanqiu was naive and didn’t think much about the Tang family’s daughter. “How did Ran Ran know?” he asked Qin Xiuchen.

Qin Xiuchen was speechless.

The manager had also thought about this. “Yes. Our little niece also had a book from the Hacker Alliance. Does she have a friend from the organization?”

They exchanged glances and didn’t speak further.

…

3 am.

Cheng Shui drove over to pick Qin Hanqiu and the rest up.

Cheng Mu drove another car behind him.

They had to pa.s.s through the border when they traveled at night. Each car had to stop for checks before proceeding.

When the border guards saw Cheng Shui’s and Cheng Mu’s cars, they immediately made way without checking the pa.s.sengers.

The journey was smooth.

They reached Continent M’s airport at 8 am.

Tang Jun and Qin Hanqiu’s cousin hadn’t reached.

“Xiao Cheng.” Qin Hanqiu looked at Cheng Juan. “You can leave first if you’re busy, I can wait here.”

Since he alighted, Qin Hanqiu saw that Cheng Juan was busy on his phone.

Cheng Juan looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran tucked on her black and white checkered scarf and did not say anything.

“Alright.” Cheng Juan smiled. “I will leave first. See you later.”

He had some matters to settle.

The situation regarding Matthew…

He also had to speak to Huo’er guarding the airport.

“Go,” Qin Hanqiu said while waving his hands. “It’s okay.”

Cheng Shui bid farewell to Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran before leaving with Cheng Juan. Cheng Mu followed behind Qin Ran.

“Second Master, why haven’t they arrived?” Qin Xiuchen had to work today and couldn’t send Qin Hanqiu off. He sent his manager instead.

“I’m not sure.” Qin Hanqiu shook his head. “Uncle said that they left early…”

They waited for 20 minutes before seeing the chief steward and Elder Li carrying the luggage.

“There was a long queue at the border.” Elder Li put down the luggage and stretched his back. “Sorry to keep you waiting. Old Master and Second Young Master will be here soon. They met a friend and had a quick chat.”

Qin Hanqiu waved his hand to show that it was fine. He paused and asked, “What border?”

“You might not know since it’s your first time in Continent M. It’s the place where cars line up for checks at the border entrance. Everyone knows about this, and the inspection is rigorous.” The chief steward explained to Qin Hanqiu.

Qin Hanqiu didn’t recall any checks on the way. “Really?”

Butler Qin remembered and said, “There was a place. However, we did not get inspected.”

“How could it be?” The chief steward glanced at them, wanting to speak further, but was stopped by Elder Li.

Elder Li was Tang Jun’s most trusted aid. The chief steward instantly stopped talking to Qin Hanqiu and the others.

Elder Li smiled while looking at Qin Hanqiu and the rest. Stretching his waist, he said, “I came earlier to let you, Second Master, know that Second Young Master’s personality is very cold. It’s similar to Miss Qin’s… I hope you can be understanding if he gives you the cold shoulder.”

Qin Hanqiu didn’t think that anyone could be as cool as Qin Ran. He smiled and said, “I always wondered who Ran Ran’s personality is similar to, and it turns out to be Second Cousin.”

Elder Li laughed. “Miss Qin’s personality is definitely similar to the Second Young Master.”

He slightly regretted saying this. One studied computers, while the other studied programming…

After a few minutes.

Tang Jun appeared at the entrance with a man wearing gla.s.ses.

He was about 30 years old, and they could tell that he was cold and meticulous.

It was Lu Zhixin.

He was walking behind Tang Jun while looking at his phone. He seemed to be chatting with someone.

“Old Master. Second Young Master.” Seeing Lu Zhixin, the chief steward’s expression quickly changed to a welcoming and respectful one.

Tang Jun introduced Lu Zhixin to Qin Hanqiu. “Hanqiu, this is your second younger cousin Lu Zhixin.”

He looked at Lu Zhixin. “This is your elder cousin, Qin Hanqiu.”

Tang Jun’s voice was moderate.

Even though Qin Ran was chatting, she heard a familiar name.

She lifted her head and pulled her scarf down. She saw Lu Zhixin’s face.

Lu Zhixin was cold as usual. He looked at Qin Ran just as she turned.

Qin Ran was speechless.

Lu Zhixin was also speechless.

Qin Hanqiu and Tang Jun stood between them. Seeing Lu Zhixin’s expression when he looked at Qin Ran, he said, “Zhixin, this is your niece. She’s called…”

Lu Zhixin lightly said, “Qin Ran. I know.”
