Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Panda Novel

Cheng Mu didn’t expect such a place from the address Qin Ran had given him.

Stunned, he paused for a while before turning the car off and pulling out the key.

The door of the manor was a black iron gate.

Cheng Mu and the others all got out of the car and stopped in front of the black gate.

“Miss Qin, this is your friend’s house?” Cheng Mu looked at the black door with a stunned expression. There was neither a doorbell on the door nor any signs of opening it.

It was fit seamlessly, like a piece of black refined steel in front of everyone.

Qin Ran followed Cheng Juan out of the car calmly and responded.

“How do you open this?” Cheng Mu glanced at Qin Ran again. “Miss Qin, would you like to call your friend?”

Cheng Mu was now in awe of Qin Ran’s friends, especially after knowing that Gu Xichi was also her friend.

He always suspected that the few big bosses who were friends with Gu Xichi would suddenly appear.

“No.” Qin Ran shook her head, bypassed Cheng Juan directly, and walked over to Cheng Mu.

A crystal screen gradually emerged on the black refined steel.

“What the f*ck, what magical thing is this? It’s so high-tech?” Lu Zhaoying had been walking around the door.

He watched as Qin Ran walked to the side of the black refined steel. It directly changed color and a three-dimensional pupil flashed on the screen.

The three-dimensional pupil rotated.

A cold machine sounded at the door. “Verification Successful!”

The fine steel door separated directly from both sides.

Cheng Juan stood on the side, watching Qin Ran. When the three-dimensional pupil verification appeared, he didn’t even raise an eyebrow.

It was not until Qin Ran passed the verification that he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Their relationship was so good? She even had her pupil verified at the gate?

4The door opened and inside was a large green area filled with various herbs. A concrete road led to the garage on the left, and a narrow cobblestone road was in the middle.

They walked in.

Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying seemed ignorant and only walked in after staring at the door several more times.

“Young Master Jiang, get off the phone.” Cheng Mu took two steps forward and couldn’t help but call Jiang Dongye when he noticed he had not caught up with them.

Jiang Dongye was leaning against the car door, holding his phone and calling someone with a cigarette in his mouth. His usually warm face was especially fierce today as he said, “He’s in Devil City, but I’m not sure where. Just search through the whole city.”

1He reached out and touched the area on his neck which had been struck by a needle before.

“Coming.” He hung up the phone and stood up straight.

He had come to Devil City with Qin Ran just to get her to talk to Qian Dui for him.

Although the manor was large and the steel gate was magical, Jiang Dongye was focused on Gu Xichi and was too distracted to care about other things.

He got ready to go inside and stood in a daze for a few minutes before entering.

**

Inside was a three-story Gothic-style villa building.

Qin Ran calmly pressed her fingerprint at the gate and went straight in.

On the first floor was the entire hall, and except for a few pieces of furnishings, there was almost nothing else.

“Welcome.” A mechanical voice sounded.

The robot, about 1.2 meters tall, came out from the corner, holding a few bottles of water on a tray. “The host will come down immediately.”

Cheng Mu had never seen such a robot before, but seeing how calm Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were, he suppressed his curiosity.

He didn’t want to look so ignorant!

Who was this friend of Miss Qin!

Where did this robot come from?!

1How was it so smart?

Jiang Dongye was different, however. Once he arrived at the lobby, he noticed Cheng Juan’s stare and snuffed his cigarette consciously before asking, “Miss Qin, where is your friend?”

He was ready to see Qin Ran’s friend and leave straight away.

He had already told someone to pick him up.

“He should be on the third floor,” Qin Ran thought for a while before answering. Gu Xichi was a medical maniac and would rather live in the laboratory.

Jiang Dongye found a trash can to throw his cigarette butt in. He looked at Cheng Juan again and said, “Master Juan, I’m already here. Can I go now?”

2Cheng Juan just stared at him lazily and did not say anything.

Qin Ran did not care if Jiang Dongye left.

Jiang Dongye saw that they all ignored him and couldn’t help but touch his nose. He then turned around and walked to the gate.

“He’s Xiao Er,” Qin Ran took a glass of water from the tray and said in a calm voice. “He’s the first generation of a robot butler.”

Lu Zhaoying nodded and looked at Xiao Er curiously, but was quickly attracted to other things in the hall.

There were many strange things in the hall. On the central table was a large piece of rough diamond that looked a little like a flower.

It dazzled stunningly in the sunlight.

“Such a big piece? And kept like this? Is he not afraid of thieves?” Lu Zhaoying couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment as he looked at the diamond for a long time.

<span>1Qin Ran didn’t see this diamond the previous time she came.

She was also rather curious. “I wonder when he placed it here.”

Qin Ran did not often ask about Gu Xichi’s personal affairs. Although they had a close relationship, they didn’t inquire too much about each other’s private affairs.

“Half a year ago in the Middle East.” Cheng Juan was not very interested in this and just leaned on a chair to explain to Qin Ran calmly.

Before Qin Ran could say anything.

A voice sounded from upstairs, sounding as cold as jade. “Yes, how did you know?”

His tone was quite doubtful.

Gu Xichi’s home maintained a constant temperature of 24 degrees all year round. He didn’t wear a long coat and only wore a white shirt.

He walked downstairs and looked at Cheng Juan doubtfully. The origin of this diamond was not small, so only the diamond big boss knew about it. Even Chief Matthew didn’t know this, so how did Cheng Juan know?

Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying both subconsciously looked upstairs to see what friend Qin Ran had brought them to see.

Cheng Mu turned over and reached out to touch the diamond.

But after seeing the man’s face, his hand shook in shock and a rare expression appeared on his otherwise stony face.

Gu, Gu Xichi?

He turned out to be Qin Ran’s friend who had given her verification into his house?!

Cheng Mu knew that Qin Ran knew Gu Xichi, but he didn’t know just how close they were. She had even brought them into Gu Xichi’s nest!

In his mind, he immediately thought of the big boss Matthew behind Gu Xichi.

Cheng Mu’s expression changed and he quickly retracted the hand that was about to touch the diamond.

By the door, Jiang Dongye had already opened the door to leave.

1But hearing this, he knew that Qin Ran’s friend had come out. After thinking about it, he decided to greet his friend before leaving.

1As soon as he turned around, he saw Gu Xichi leaning on the table beside the diamond.

Only his side profile was revealed.

But Jiang Dongye still recognized him.

His hands turned numb on the door handle and he thought for a long time before asking, uncertain, “Gu Xichi?”

He froze in place. He didn’t expect Gu Xichi to appear in front of him for the second time after he had failed to find him even after traveling around the world.

Gu Xichi turned and took an apple from Xiao Er’s small tray. He chewed it and said vaguely, “I advise you not to move randomly. My house is full of Xiao… cough, high-tech gadgets arranged by others. In my house, I’m invincible.”

2With that in mind, Gu Xichi snapped his fingers, and several infrared rays appeared immediately around Jiang Dongye.

Qin Ran was too lazy to bother with Gu Xichi, this fool.

Jiang Dongye had yet to recover from the shock and was immediately speechless.

“You can continue to stroll around on the first floor. There are many computers there. If you need anything, you can ask Xiao Er.” Gu Xichi swallowed and addressed Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying first before turning to Cheng Juan and Qin Ran. “Xiao Ran, cough… Brother, the two of you can follow me upstairs.”

Cheng Juan nodded faintly, then turned and took two steps forward. “Let’s go, I want to see your research.”

“There are still a few steps missing. You came just in time, I was about to ask Xiao Ran to find you.” Gu Xichi nibbled on the apple.

Qin Ran raised an eyebrow after hearing Gu Xichi address Cheng Juan as “brother”.

Although she was a little surprised, it was still as expected. After all, Gu Xichi had compromised only after hearing about Cheng Juan.

The three of them went upstairs together.

However, the three people downstairs were still stunned.

Especially Jiang Dongye. His head was thumping wildly.

Qin Ran’s friend was Gu Xichi, and Gu Xichi had even given her the password to his home.

Gu Xichi had called Cheng Juan… brother.

He felt like the whole world had gone wrong.

What fantasy world was this?

The phone in his pocket rang.

Jiang Dongye stiffly pressed the answer button.

A hearty voice on the other end said, “Young Master Jiang, you were just urging us to come just now? Why are you not out yet? We’re outside the black iron gate, come out quickly!”

Jiang Dongye was speechless.

Why would he go out?! He was completely stupefied!
