Chapter 247: Mysterious Forces, Matthew Strikes

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

Cheng Huo narrowed his eyes as soon as Cheng Shui finished speaking.

Then he lowered his head and took out his phone from his pocket.

The Underground Alliance

He had never heard of it.

Glancing at Cheng Huo, Cheng Shui knew without thinking what he wanted to do. Cheng Huo, theres no point checking the Internet. Even the Hacker Alliance doesnt have records of them. You might be able to find news of them from 129 Detective, or from Matthew. Other than that, you can only check the files of the large families in Continent M.

Cheng Huo didnt believe him. He clicked to the client page of the Hacker Alliance and went through a complete search, but it was to no avail.

This is impossible! He put down his legs and stood up directly.

Nothing is impossible. The Underground Alliance hasnt surfaced for nearly a year. When you joined the Hacker Alliance a year ago and ventured around Continent M, the Underground Alliance had already faded out, Cheng Shui explained lightly. Cheng Tu said before that news of the Underground Alliance wont be circulated on the Internet. We have some business with the Underground Alliance, but were not very consistent with it.

Cheng Mu couldnt understand what they were doing.

He didnt interrupt them and just stood at the side, turning his head to stare at each of them in turn.

Cheng Shui wouldnt joke about such matters. It wasnt that Cheng Huo didnt believe him, he just found it hard to accept.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Shui continued explaining, Boss originally wanted to temporarily stop the business at the mine and leave Continent M after this matter, but something happened today

At the thought of this, he frowned slightly.

He explained the matter of Yang Shuyan to them.

I know that Miss Qin is from the IT department of the Yunguang Consortium, but what does it have to do with Continent M? The Yunguang Consortium is in Beijing. Cheng Huo glanced at Cheng Shui.

Do you remember when Boss was injured? Cheng Shui poured himself a cup of tea.

Cheng Mu froze. Master Juan has been injured before?

He returned to China and went to Yun Cheng half a year ago partly because of his injury, Cheng Huo explained. Then, he turned to Cheng Shui and frowned in understanding. Yang Shuyan had something to do with it?

Yang Shuyan beheaded three of his trusted aides! Hes probably the boss of the Underground Alliance. Ive seen him before more than a year ago when I was looking for Cheng Tu. I dont know the specifics, but when I joined them, Bosss condition wasnt very good. Cheng Shui pondered aloud.

1

This was why he had been so surprised to see Yang Shuyan.

This person was simply too dangerous. On the surface, he looked like a celestial being, but in reality, he had the blood of numerous people stained on his hands. The people around him were all kept in the dark, especially Qin Ran, who didnt know of Yang Shuyans true identity.

3

Cheng Shui hadnt explained this to her.

No matter how powerful and mature, Qin Ran was still young in their eyes. Cheng Shui wasnt willing to let her in about all the dark matters, so he had chosen to find Cheng Mu instead.

He already estimated that Cheng Juan would have to abandon his plans of withdrawing from Continent M.

**

Cheng Shui continued talking about Yang Shuyan.

Downstairs, Cheng Juan also went to talk to Gu Xichi alone.

The two of them stood on the edge of the big training ground. Gu Xichi held his phone and looked out at the group of people there with great interest.

Brother, whats the matter? It was windy outside, so Gu Xichi wore a coat and had his hands wrapped around it for warmth.

Cheng Juan took out a cigarette and sandwiched it between his fingers. He narrowed his eyes slightly. The old man told me before that you had ransacked all of his experimental drugs more than a year ago as well.

Gu Xichi froze. He didnt dare to look at Cheng Juan and just said vaguely, Really? I dont remember.

Gu Xichi, how many billions do you owe me? Cheng Juan lowered his head and turned on the lighter. A blue fire burst out from it.

His voice sounded casual.

Gu Xichi was speechless.

I want to ask you something. Gu Xichi turned and stared at Cheng Juan seriously. What is your intention towards our Xiao Ran?

It was getting dark outside.

Cheng Juan bit on the cigarette, and the cigarette butt shone with a clear light. Hearing this, he smiled casually, his lazy eyes soaking in the night scene. An unmarried man and an unmarried woman, what do you think?

2

His words were careless, but according to Gu Xichis understanding of him, it was considered sort of a promise.

Nodding, he remained silent for a long time before saying, A year and a half ago, I suddenly received an emergency call from her. You know shes a hacker. When she contacted me at that time, she used encrypted codewords. By the time I found her at the address, she was already at deaths door.

Cheng Juan propped his hand on the woodpile and waited for Gu Xichi to continue.

Gu Xichi put his phone back in his pocket and fell into deep thought.

Qin Rans mental state had been in breakdown more than three years ago. Gu Xichi only found out from Chen Shulan that, at that time, Qin Rans friend had stayed in the mental hospital for a year.

Later on, Gu Xichi only received bits of pieces of news. Qin Ran never took the initiative to contact him again, until more than a year ago when she suddenly reached out.

Her mind had already been in a state of confusion when he found her, so he had brought her to Continent M directly.

1

At that time, Qin Ran had no desire to live.

2

Hence, Gu Xichi had stimulated her with words, telling her to get well soon so that she could torture the man who had injured her.

At that time, he had really turned to anything and anyone he could find

Who knew that Qin Ran would really rely on the spirit of revenge and gradually regain consciousness

Gu Xichi managed to pull her back from the King of Hell.

1

But after that, she walked around like a living corpse and had even gone to the black boxing ring to fight.

Because of that, Gu Xichi had taken medicines from the old man like crazy.

While muddle-headed, she had basically been taken care of by Gu Xichi the whole year.

He had even taken many calls from Qin Rans phone at that time.

It had all been calls from Continent M. Gu Xichi had always regarded Qin Ran as his younger sister, so he had been furious that she had suffered such a big wrong silently.

He never probed further about her matters, but he had once acted on his own accord and flushed Qin Rans phone card into the toilet.

Qin Ran only recovered more half a year ago, when she received news of Chen Shulan dying.

She hadnt asked for her phone card when she returned to her senses.

She had even thrown the phone in the trash can.

Dressing lightly and carrying nothing, she had returned straight to China.

Since then, Gu Xichi felt that Qin Ran had become more indifferent.

He finished explaining.

Cheng Juan was silent for a long time.

The cigarette was still burning quietly in his hand, the fire flickering in the wind.

With her strength, who could have injured her that badly? Cheng Juan said lightly after a long period of silence.

1

Under the night sky, his expression couldnt be seen clearly.

But after hearing this, Gu Xichi couldnt help but shudder. I dont know. When I found Xiao Ran, she was in a slum alley.

Cheng Juan nodded.

He put out his cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.

Narrowing his eyes, he started counting the number of people who could possibly be her opponent.

Other than the crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Continent M, Cheng Juan also knew of a few powerful people who werent so well-known. He quickly counted a few who were powerful enough.

Most of them werent easy to provoke.

Cheng Juan asked Gu Xichi about Matthew again.

Wait. Gu Xichi froze and stared at Cheng Juan. What does it have to do with Chief Matthew? He has nothing to do with Xiao Ran, how could it have been him

What if it was really him? Cheng Juan glanced lightly at Gu Xichi.

He wouldnt ask Qin Ran who it was, but he would make a list of those who could possibly hurt her and then seek revenge in various ways.

Naturally, Matthew was on his list.

He would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than miss out on that one person.

He glanced at Gu Xichi again and asked, Do you think its okay?

Gu Xichi was wondering if he had ever offended Cheng Juan in any way.

After wrapping up their conversation, Cheng Juan returned to his study.

On the way, he took out his phone and called Cheng Tu.

**

At this time, Qin Ran was in the study, having a video call with Lin Siran, Pan Mingyue, Qiao Sheng, and the others.

Lin Siran was clearly outside and had fireworks behind her.

Sister Ran, arent you coming back when school reopens? Qiao Sheng looked weak when he heard that Qin Ran would only come back for the college entrance examination. Class 3.9 misses you terribly, Teacher Gao as well!

Qin Ran put her phone down on the table and leaned it against a pen holder.

She was practicing writing while talking to them.

Hearing this, she couldnt help but raise an eyebrow. Are you sure that they miss me?

Qiao Sheng was speechless.

She was right. After Qin Rans departure, the teachers seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief, especially Teacher Gao, who seemed much more refreshed.

2

Qiao Sheng almost collapsed at the mention of this.

But Pan Mingyue chuckled instead. Its okay, its just a few months. Itll pass in the blink of an eye.

How could it be so easy? Lin Siran looked sad. I heard that the second semester of senior high school is hell

Pan Mingyue propped her chin on her hand and smiled. She said in a soft voice, I can tell youve never seen hell before.

Qin Ran was about to say something when a black dialog box popped up at the top of the video.

She narrowed her eyes.

Then, she reached out quietly. You guys can talk. I still have some matters to attend to, so Ill hang up first.

She glanced at the study door.

No one was there.

She walked over to the window and took out her headphones.

It was Matthew.
