Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 252: Return of Big Boss, Chaos in All High Schools!

Gao Yang put down the pen in his hand and glanced at it.

His movements were lazy and slow as usual.

When others mentioned Qin Ran, he just smiled without a word. When he saw the two characters displayed on the screen of his cell phone, he was stunned.

Then he quickly picked up the phone, pulled back his stool, stood up, and walked outside.

“Are you back in Yun Cheng?” His voice also suddenly became gentle.

Gao Yang went to the staff room to answer his phone, and the other teachers in the staff room turned to look at each other.

In the end, the physics teacher glanced at Ms. Chen and asked hesitantly, “What Mr. Gao just said… Is Qin Ran back?”

Ms. Chen shook her head, unsure.

It was indeed Qin Ran who called Gao Yang.

She was now at Yun Cheng Airport, having just gotten off the plane. She was wearing a red and white checkered shirt, with her cuffs slightly rolled up, sitting on the suitcase, with Cheng Juan pushing the suitcase single-handedly.

Shi Liming followed behind them, looking around in awe and curiosity about everything in Yun Cheng.

Cheng Mu went outside to pick up the car first.

“Mr. Gao, I will go back to school on Monday.” Qin Ran stretched out her hand and pressed down the cap on her head, revealing only half of her jade-like flawless face.

Gao Yang stood in the hallway, holding his cell phone in one hand and resting his other on the handrail. He looked at the incoming teachers and students with joy. “That’s good. I have all your documents sorted out.”

After a pause, Gao Yang asked again, “Are you lagging in the course?”

“No.” Qin Ran smiled. “I have been studying with a tutor.”

Qin Ran always knew what to do. Hearing what she said, Gao Yang was completely relieved. “That’s great. You have always had your own ideas. I won’t say much. When you come to school in a few days, there are some procedures that you need to complete.”

After chatting with Qin Ran for a bit more, they ended the call.

Gao Yang looked at the screen showing the hung up call, pondered for a while, then turned to the address book, clicked on “Principal Xu’s” number, and sent a message to him.

Going back to the office, Gao Yang felt relaxed.

The other teachers had been paying attention to Gao Yang’s demeanor and movements. Although Li Airong was packing the books, the corners of her eyes were also fixed on Gao Yang’s direction.

“Mr. Gao, was it Qin Ran just now?” Ms. Chen, who taught English to Class 3.9, had always had a good relationship with Gao Yang. She put down the papers in her hands and asked curiously.

Gao Yang nodded and smiled. “It was her. She just returned to Yun Cheng today. She will come to complete the college entrance examination procedures in two days.”

Hearing this, Ms. Chen couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Qin Ran dropped out of school for nearly eight months. In the beginning, the teachers were very relaxed, but later on, they all began to worry about whether Qin Ran could keep up with her courses.

Because she had been suspended from school before, they did not know if she could catch up for the college entrance examination.

Now that Gao Yang said that she was back, Ms. Chen could let go of her worry.

Li Airong finished sorting out the books in her hands. Seeing that both Ms. Chen and Gao Yang were beaming, she couldn’t help but purse her lips. “She hasn’t come to school for more than seven months. Who knows if her academics are ruined?”

The next class was Gao Yang’s math class. Gao Yang picked up a paper. Hearing Li Airong’s words, he only smiled, did not turn to face her, and went upstairs with his hands behind his back, humming a soft tune.

After he left, the other teachers in the office looked at each other.

“I don’t know about the other students, but Qin Ran, she’s different from the others.” The physics teacher smiled and leaned back in his chair, still holding his thermos cup. “She has a plan for her own life.”

Li Airong was quick to speak, and everyone could see how Qin Ran’s academic performance was like.

It was just that Qin Ran’s leave was more than seven months long. That was really rare. As the college entrance examination drew closer and closer, more and more people were discussing about Qin Ran in the school. Some people suspected that Qin Ran would rush back to the college entrance examination in such a short time.

Now that they finally got the news from Gao Yang, the other teachers in the office glanced at each other. Heng Chuan First Middle School and Yun Cheng First Middle School were neck to neck. The two schools were almost evenly matched for numerous times before this.

Many people had speculated about Qin Ran’s news before, and a lot of false news had been spread. Some people said that Qin Ran had left to study abroad, and some said that she wouldn’t take the college entrance examination.

Now that they got a credible answer from Gao Yang that Qin Ran had really returned… the rankings among the famous high schools in Yun Cheng were about to change again.

For Xu Yaoguang and Pan Mingyue of Heng Chuan, and the several top students in Yun Cheng First Middle School, now that the dark horse Qin Ran was back, this year’s college entrance examination would be much more interesting than before.

At the same time.

On Yuncheng Airport Avenue, Cheng Mu was driving in the driver’s seat, and Shi Liming was beside him.

The car did not drive towards the direction of the villa in the center of Yun Cheng but drove directly to the cemetery.

Qin Ran went to see Chen Shulan first. During the middle of the trip, Cheng Mu stopped the car at a flower shop, and she went down with Cheng Juan to buy a bunch of flowers.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped by the gate of the cemetery.

Neither Shi Liming nor Cheng Mu alighted.

When Cheng Juan and Qin Ran entered the gate of the cemetery, Shi Liming lowered his voice and asked Cheng Mu, “Who is the one Boss and Miss Qin are seeing?”

They would be working together in the future, so Cheng Mu did not conceal it. He explained Chen Shulan’s matter a little bit.

Then he said in a deep voice, “This matter affects Miss Qin deeply. This is why Master Juan took her to Continent M. Know the consequences. Don’t mention it in front of her.”

For more than seven months on Continent M when Qin Ran was researching about the popularization of artificial intelligence, Cheng Mu was often taken out by Cheng Juan and others to practice, and now he had a calm and clear aura.

Compared to half a year ago, some qualitative changes took place.

Hearing Cheng Mu’s words, Shi Liming solemnly nodded. “I got it.”

Cheng Mu nodded and wanted to say something, but the phone in his pocket rang, and he looked down.

The message was sent by Ouyang Wei.

Asking for his whereabouts.

If this were six months ago, Cheng Mu would have been ecstatic to see a message from Ouyang Wei. After all, Ouyang Wei was his goddess…

But now…

Cheng Mu frowned and did not reply.

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan did not stay in front of Chen Shulan’s tomb for a long time. The two of them sat for half an hour. Qin Ran sat in front of the tomb and talked about her experience in Continent M in detail before standing up and patting dirt and dust off her clothes.

“Let’s go.” She lowered her head and slowly rolled up her sleeves.

Cheng Juan was sitting on the ground with her, but when he saw her standing up, he did not immediately get up. He reached out to arrange the flowers in front of Chen Shulan’s tomb before raising his head and looking at Qin Ran’s expression.

Her eyes were very dark and not as bloody as they were six months ago.

He finally stood up. “Let’s go back.”

**

Yun Cheng, Cheng Juan’s villa.

During Cheng Juan’s absence in Yun Cheng, Butler Cheng also returned to Yun Cheng. When Cheng Juan and Qin Ran returned to Yun Cheng, he returned to the villa two days in advance.

While they were away, the villa was always cleaned by part-time workers. When Butler Cheng returned, he brought a few people back and re-decorated the villa inside and out.

The whole villa looked almost the same as before Cheng Juan and the others left.

“Young Master, Miss Qin.” Butler Cheng had prepared a meal.

After letting the group of people sit down at the dinner table, he pushed the reading glasses up the bridge of his nose and pulled out a small book from his jacket pocket.

After turning a few pages, he put his hand against the reading glasses and looked at Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, while you were in Continent M, did you listen to your tutor to during classes?”

Qin Ran held her chopsticks, lowered her head, and said vaguely, “Yes.”

Butler Cheng glanced at Qin Ran and felt that her answer did not seem right.

After Qin Ran finished eating, he thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and sent a few words to the tutors.

He then politely smiled.

The several tutors almost uniformly sent him the same answer—

[…]

Not only that, everyone returned the money to him.

What did this mean?!

Butler Cheng was shocked. Could it be that Miss Qin was at a point where she was unsalvageable?

The phone in the hall rang.

“Butler Cheng, it’s the Old Master’s call.” The maid took the phone and spoke respectfully to Butler Cheng.

Butler Cheng answered the phone worriedly.

“Old Master.” He put the phone to his ear and spoke respectfully.

People in the circle in the capital knew a lot about Qin Ran’s every movement, and Old Master Cheng also heard about it.

Calling Butler Cheng, he mainly wanted to ask about this.

Butler Cheng glanced upstairs, lowered his voice, and said in a worried tone, “Miss Qin is back to take the college entrance examination, but all the teachers who tutored her returned the money.”

Did they think that they couldn’t save Miss Qin?

In the capital, Old Master Cheng was sitting on the sofa. After talking to Butler Cheng, he was thoughtful.

On the opposite sofa, Ouyang Wei sat very cautiously. “Grandpa Cheng, was that Butler Cheng?”

In terms of seniority, Ouyang Wei was younger than Cheng Juan.

“It’s him.” Old Master Cheng smiled. He went to find Ouyang Wei today mainly to ask about 129.

Ouyang Wei became an ordinary member of 129 last year, which caused a lot of waves in the circle.

“I heard that Master Juan went to Continent M to play, is he finally back?” Ouyang Wei pursed her lips and smiled, then glanced at Old Master Cheng. “Are you worried about the girl next to him?”

Only then did Old Master Cheng raise his eyes and calmly said, “She’s going to take the college entrance examination this year, and I especially sent Butler Cheng to handle this matter.”

“College entrance examination?” Ouyang Wei was taken aback. She pursed her lips and said in surprise, “Last year, Cheng Mu said… that Miss Qin doesn’t need the college entrance examination? And that both the Cheng and the Lu families have made arrangements?”
