Chapter 920: Master Baili’s Secret Code

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Got it, Brother.” This was the first time Xiao Jiu was with her mother, so she was quite excited. She listened to her mother’s instructions and logged into the computer.

Qin Shu said again, “Just go around that red dot.”

Xiao Jiu did as he was told.

The two hackers from Qingyun Manor looked at the two people in front of the desk, one big and one small. They felt that those two people weren’t taking this serious, especially that little boy. He probably wasn’t even four years old yet.

The two hackers were hired by Qingyun Manor at a high price. They were ranked in the top five on the hacker rankings.

“Master Yun, we are in the top five on the hacker rankings. Even if you don’t trust us, don’t let a nameless nobody and a child make us look bad.”

“Master Yun is clear about our ability. There are very few people who can surpass us. I’m afraid that if we can’t do something, nobody else can.”

Yun Yao did not tell the two hackers that what happened a few years ago was done in complete secrecy.

Therefore, they did not know the strength of the person in front of them.

Yun Yao chuckled. “Your strength is obvious to me. If you can’t solve this, I will definitely hire someone else that can.”

He glanced at the two brothers at the desk and said, “If you think that I invited these people here to embarrass you, we can make a bet.”

One of the hackers asked, “What bet?”

Yun Yao said, “Well, we can bet on the fact that these people are more skilled than you. If I lose, I will pay you double the price we agreed on. If you lose, you will not be paid a single cent for your next three years in the Qingyun Manor.”

The two hackers looked at each other. They did not believe that a person who was not even fully grown and a child could be more skilled than them.

“Okay.”

Yun Yao smiled and did not say anything else. Yun Yao looked at Xiao Jiu and found that Xiao Jiu had a calmness that far exceeded his young age. If this were any other child, they would have refuted him long ago.

Xiao Jiu turned a deaf ear to their words. All his attention was on the computer in front of him.

Speaking of computer skills, Xiao Jiu had inherited the superior genes of his parents completely. He liked to use his strength to prove naysayers wrong, preferring to let the results speak for themselves.

Qin Shu ignored everything that had happened so far. She asked Xiao Jiu to follow her as a distraction. This was because Qin Shu was not confident of stopping the other party, and had thought of this method just in case.

She would know whether the other party was strong or not after a few rounds.

Those attempts just now indicated to Qin Shu that the hackers on the other side were very strong. Perhaps they were even stronger than her.

“Master Baili’s words were untrue,” Qin Shu thought to herself.

He said that as long as Qin Shu learned well, she would be the number one hacker.

In the past, she believed it unwaveringly.

Now, this seemed to be complete nonsense.

With Master Baili’s carefree personality, the credibility of the words he said would have to be doubted.

Qin Shu was doing her best to stop the other party from entering. She could not help but start to doubt the opponent’s identity.

Qin Shu wondered if her opponent was the black knight that ranked first on the overall rankings.

“I’m just an imposter. Do I actually want to fight?” Qin Shu questioned herself internally.

Just as Qin Shu focused her attention on stopping the other party, they sent her a message.

“Who are you?”

Qin Shu’s gaze froze. She was still curious about who the other party was. It was completely unexpected that her opponent would lose patience and ask her first.

“There’s candy in your pocket.”

Qin Shu replied briefly.

Yun Yao, who was standing at the side, saw the conversation on the screen and the corner of his mouth twitched. Was this some kind of code?

Qin Shu’s hand, which was rapidly typing on the keyboard, suddenly stopped. When she saw the sentence on the computer screen, she was completely stunned.

“Watch out for cavities.”

After a while, the other party sent another statement.

“I’m not playing anymore.”

Qin Shu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she saw that statement.

In the time it took for Qin Shu to get over her shock, the opponent had retreated. This time, it was real. There was no trace of the other party at all.

Xiao Jiu saw that the red dot that he had been chasing had suddenly disappeared. He also stopped what he was doing and looked at Qin Shu in puzzlement.

Qin Shu was stunned for a long while before she said to Yun Yao, “The other party has retreated. They should not be returning again.”

Although Qin Shu’s tone was not completely certain, Yun Yao also guessed that the other party might not be coming when he saw that statement about not playing.

“Thank you for your trouble, Young Brother Ling.”

“I’ll take my leave.” Qin Shu stood up, held her son’s hand with one hand, picked up the laptop on the desk with the other hand, and walked out.

Xiao Jiu followed obediently, without even glancing at the two hackers who looked down on them just now.

Yun Yao looked at them. “Did you see that?”

The two hackers looked at each other and were at a loss for words.

“Remember, three years.” Yun Yao left the hackers with these words and turned to walk out.

On the other side.

There was a man clad in a gray hooded coat, sitting in front of the computer. His hood was oversized, so it covered most of his face, exposing only his beautiful lips and a thin, good-looking chin. The man’s amber eyes stared intensely at the computer screen, and he seemed to bee deep in thought.

Another man standing next to the sofa at the side saw that the man in front of the computer was sitting still and could not help but feel a little impatient. “Can you do it or not?”

The man in front of the computer raised his eyebrows and looked at the man who was standing beside the sofa. He smiled and stood up. His hands were in the pockets of his coat. “I’m not playing anymore.”

After saying these words, he walked past the group of bodyguards at a calm pace and left.

The man who was standing beside the sofa was angered by these three words. “What’s wrong with you? You can’t waste our time like this. right?”

These words did not anger the man. He still walked calmly with a hint of nonchalance. Step by step, the man disappeared into the crowd.

The man standing by the sofa lowered his head to look at his master and carefully asked, “Master, should I find someone else?”

The man who was addressed as Master waved his hand. “It’s useless unless you can find the black knight.”

Qin Shu held her son’s hand and returned to the courtyard where they lived. Why did the conversation she had just now feel like she was talking to Master Baili?

Qin Shu knew that Master Baili had disappeared for more than ten years and had never appeared since. She wondered if that person could really be Master Baili.

“If that truly was Master Baili,” Qin Shu thought, “then why didn’t he recognize me?”

“There’s candy in your pocket.” This hacking skill was taught to Qin Shu by Master Baili. He always said this when he joked with her, and said that the statement was a code.

As they walked, Xiao Jiu noticed that Qin Shu was a little absent-minded. He looked up and tugged at her hand. “Mom, what are you thinking about?”

Qin Shu came back to her senses and looked down at her son. She smiled and praised Xiao Jiu, “It’s nothing. You did well today, Xiao Jiu.”

Xiao Jiu said, “I’m a weakling compared to Mom.”

Qin Shu could not help but laugh. “Well, you’re just a beginner. What you’ve done is already very good. After you practice some more and keep learning, you’ll certainly be better than Mom.”

Xiao Jiu asked, “Really?”

Qin Shu said, “Of course it’s true. Has Mom ever lied to you?”

Xiao Jiu smiled. “Then I will continue to work hard. I want to be better than you soon, Mom, so I can be of more help to you.”

Qin Shu nodded. “Yes. My Xiao Jiu is the best.”

After this matter was settled, Qin Shu planned to go to the ancient City of Wind and Moon.

When Qin Shu said goodbye to Yun Yao, Yun Yao wanted to ask her to stay for two more days, but she politely refused.

“I still have something to do.”
