Chapter 228: Miss Qin Taught Me, No Progress

The people here were all capable and could tell whether Jerry had strength.

They could especially tell that Cheng Mu was like a different person. He was nimble and ruthless. His punches were so fast they could hardly be seen!

“What- what the f*ck, he won?” After a long while, someone finally uttered in a daze.

Because of this voice, the crowd finally reacted and stared involuntarily at Cheng Mu.

He didn’t look proud nor happy and seemed to think it wasn’t a big deal. He just glanced at the referee and asked gruffly, “Have I won?”

Cheng Mu wasn’t very proud because he still couldn’t defeat Qin Ran. The more he trained these days, the deeper he felt Qin Ran’s profound strength.

He had defeated Jerry easily, but if his opponent was Qin Ran, he would still be reduced to getting beaten up.

The referee was still thinking of how he had tried to persuade Cheng Mu to give up. He only turned around after hearing Cheng Mu and came back to his senses. “Cheng Mu- Cheng Mu has won!”

Cheng Mu nodded, then went to the lounge to change his clothes. When he came out, the people around were still frozen in place.

He ignored them and walked over to Qin Ran unpredictably.

“Miss Qin, how was it?” he scratched his head and asked.

Qin Ran sat lazily on the crossbar and stretched out her hand when she saw him coming. She jumped off the bar and walked back. “It was so-so.”

Cheng Mu nodded. “I know, I’ll work harder.”

The two of them talked while heading to the castle.

Shi Liming also pulled the hat on his head and followed them.

The three people left as abruptly as they came, bringing no big waves with them.

If Jerry wasn’t still lying on the ground very bleakly, everyone would really think it had just been an illusion.

After a long while, the referee of the law enforcement hall finally returned to his senses and took out his phone to call the manor doctor. He crouched down to examine Jerry’s injuries. “Are you okay?”

Jerry couldn’t endure it anymore and shook his head slowly.

“Oh… oh my God, that was terrifying…” A voice sounded from the crowd. Everyone exchanged glances and didn’t dare to accept the truth. Someone swallowed his saliva and said, “It has only been half a month. Didn’t he use to get beaten by us? It didn’t seem like he had been hiding his strength, but just… just now…”

“Luo Dui.” The referee looked up at Luo Dui and asked seriously, “If you fought against Jerry, could you defeat him like this in just a few moves?”

Luo Dui was the most powerful person in the law enforcement hall, second only to Leader Du.

In the entire manor, few could defeat Luo Dui.

It was precisely because of this that Leader Du had asked Luo Dui to follow the procurement hall and protect Qin Ran.

“I’m not sure.” Luo Dui looked away from Qin Ran and the others. “But I’m not as fast as Cheng Mu. He had a strange style, I’ve never seen it before. If I were to fight against him, victory would be split 50-50.”

Everyone fell silent at this.

Half a month ago, Cheng Mu had clearly been beaten by everyone, but how could he now have a 50% chance of defeating the top ten masters of the manor?

What on earth happened? Did Cheng Juan give him preferential treatment?

“Didn’t Shi Liming say that Miss Qin has been training Cheng Mu?” someone said weakly.

Silence fell once again. When Cheng Mu had finished the competition, he had gone to Qin Ran to ask her how he had performed.

Qin Ran and Shi Liming hadn’t been surprised at Cheng Mu’s results.

“But… Miss Qin… it’s unlikely…”

Before this man finished speaking, Luo Dui shook his head. His eyes were deep as he explained, “His moves are indeed similar to Miss Qin’s. Last time when I went to the aircraft parking ground, I saw Miss Qin fight. Just now, Shi Liming came wrapped in bandages. I’m guessing he received training as well. Everyone, work harder, there’s still half a month to go. This year, everyone will be facing two big rivals.”

Luo Dui finished speaking and turned to head back to the law enforcement hall.

Everyone else took a while to recover.

The referee and even Jerry had forgotten about his pain.

“Then, isn’t Miss Qin very powerful?”

No one had the answer to this question.

Because… someone like Qin Ran… simply didn’t look powerful. But according to Luo Dui, there was an 80% possibility.

Regardless of Qin Ran’s strength, Cheng Mu had indeed been cultivated by her…

In the beginning, they had only regarded Qin Ran teaching Cheng Mu as a joke. But after hearing Luo Dui’s explanation, there didn’t seem to be a second person other than Qin Ran.

Only half a month had passed and a weakling could improve this much?

Then, half a month later, couldn’t Cheng Mu fight Cheng Shui?

Even Cheng Mu could become so powerful, so what if… she taught them?

Shi Liming also seemed to have been trained according to Luo Dui…

Everyone at present always trained very hard and some people would even do black boxing at the ring. Their desire to improve was evident. If even Cheng Mu could become so powerful, then if they were the ones being taught…

Everyone’s blood boiled at that mere thought.

But at the thought of how they had all refused when Cheng Shui wanted one of them to follow Qin Ran… their surging hot blood suddenly turned cold.

**

Ever since the competition, the whole manor respected Qin Ran from the bottom of their hearts.

It wasn’t just because of Cheng Shui, Cheng Huo, and the other powerful men anymore.

In the information hall.

Cheng Huo was still studying the code.

On one side, Tang Qing also turned on her computer. She was taller than the average woman and was about 1.7 or 1.8 meters tall. She had long blond hair and defined facial features that made her look like a supermodel on the cover of an international magazine.

Many people in the information hall had a piece of code assigned to their computers.

At this time, some people stood behind Cheng Huo and Tang Qing, observing their operations.

“I wonder if it’ll succeed this time?” someone whispered.

The other person nodded. “It definitely will. Miss Tang is so impressive. Her uncle has even provided several pieces of information as breakthroughs for Mr. Cheng Huo.”

Their respect for Tang Qing was evident in their speech.

They continued discussing.

Cheng Huo directly sent the simulation software to Tang Qing. “Try running it on the terminal.”

At the bottom right of his computer was a slow progress bar that had reached 71%. It was still growing, albeit at a slow rate. The countdown above showed that they still had five days left.

Tang Qing received the code from Cheng Huo.

She had studied it with Cheng Huo for half a month. Seeing that big progress had finally been made, her hands shook as she typed on the keyboard.

“Miss Tang, what’s the possibility this time?” someone asked in a low voice.

“Ninety percent.” Tang Qing opened the stimulator and typed a string of codes.

The word “loading” appeared quickly on the screen, and the progress bar ran at a high speed…

Soon, it reached 99%. Even Cheng Huo pushed his chair over and stared at Tang Qing’s computer in concentration.

“Miss Tang, you’ve succeeded! You’re so impressive!” Someone suppressed the excitement in his voice.

Tang Qing’s cold face finally broke into a smile. Placing her hand on the keyboard, she tilted her head slightly and said frivolously, “My uncle said this management procedure isn’t difficult. Everyone has credit in this…”

She didn’t finish her sentence.

The progress bar stopped and was stuck at 99%. Before it could even reach 100%, it collapsed in the next second!

The system exited the simulator again.

Tang Qing’s pleased expression suddenly froze and she sat upright. “How is this possible?!”

She tried it several times in a row again, but the same result ensued. Her hand on the mouse stiffened.

Cheng Huo wasn’t too surprised. He leaned back in his chair and asked, “Does your uncle have time to meet us?”

Tang Qing shook her head. “I don’t know, I’ll ask him again tonight.”

“Hopefully there will be a chance.” Cheng Huo pursed his lips and thought for a long time before saying, “But let’s tell Boss about this.”

**

In the afternoon, instead of training Cheng Mu, Qin Ran asked him to fight with Shi Liming.

Naturally, she set a rule that Cheng Mu couldn’t fight back.

She didn’t practice her writing and simply looked for books in the study.

Cheng Juan’s books were organized neatly in the study. She didn’t touch the row with the slightly incomplete antique books and only looked for original books in the back row.

She really found several original books already out of print.

Cheng Shui occasionally came over to report.

In the mid-afternoon, Cheng Huo brought Tang Qing into the study. This was the first time she entered the old castle.

In her long-term residence here, everyone had told her that she could go anywhere except this castle. Only Cheng Shui and the others could come and go freely.

They saw Qin Ran taking a book from the highest shelf when they came in.

Tang Qing froze.

“How’s your study on Xiao Hei?” Cheng Juan handed the book to Qin Ran and walked over to the desk.

Holding the book, Qin Ran leaned against the new sofa and raised an eyebrow. She replied in place of Cheng Huo, “Completely clueless.”

Tang Qing frowned but didn’t speak. She felt extremely annoyed inside. She hated this kind of person who randomly inserted their thoughts to assert their presence, even though they didn’t understand a thing.
