Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 650: Chapter 630: The Door Opens

”Huh?” Luo Qianqian’s face was full of disbelief, especially since she and Jimo Cheng had always been in the Capital City and had never felt the presence of such a figure there...

But Jimo Cheng’s face had an expression of ”I knew it,” as he had felt it before.

”You guys aren’t interested in that team, right?” the man suddenly said.

Luo Qianqian nodded. Of course, she wasn’t interested; she wasn’t a hacker. After all, she was just checking out information on Jimo Cheng and had come to investigate, right? Wasn’t she a computer science student?

But Jimo Cheng shook his head: ”I am quite interested, actually.”

Looking at the man’s furrowed brows, Jimo Cheng smiled, ”However, I’m not interested in joining that team. I’m not a hacker.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned: ”Huh?” Then how did you decode that wall of gibberish?

Jimo Cheng looked into Luo Qianqian’s eyes and blinked, and Luo Qianqian closed her mouth as if she understood something.

”Interested in the team? But not interested in joining, is that what you mean?” the man seemed to heave a sigh of relief, ”So, we are not competitors then?”

”Of course not, we still have to go to school, we don’t have the time,” Jimo Cheng said.

Luo Qianqian remained silent off to the side.

Less than an hour later, there was a clanking sound, and it seemed that the door below had been opened. Luo Qianqian hurried to the staircase but saw no one.

”It wasn’t opened from the outside? Then someone inside opened it?” Luo Qianqian looked at Jimo Cheng.

Jimo Cheng nodded; he had heard a click, though it was faint.

”Then let’s go, I thought it would be more fun...” Luo Qianqian pouted and led the way down the stairs, with Jimo Cheng quickly following her.

Nothing unusual on the way out, they had just gotten their phones when the chatting man took the initiative to exchange contact information with Jimo Cheng. He did not ask for Luo Qianqian’s.

Upon leaving the internet cafe, Luo Qianqian felt a chill on her back. She nearly felt a gust of wind behind her before she could react, then saw the hand that appeared in front of her seized by Jimo Cheng.

Startled, she took two steps back and then carefully looked at the person who reached out, then her eyes widened: ”Uncle, what are you doing?”

Luo Xiying looked at the glances cast toward the three of them, hesitated not at all, single-handedly picked up Luo Qianqian, and with the other hand grabbed Jimo Cheng’s shoulder, leading the two towards a car parked nearby with Bai Yixian sitting in the driver’s seat.

”You sit in the front,” Luo Xiying said to Jimo Cheng.

Jimo Cheng nodded, and Luo Qianqian grimaced. Was her uncle here specifically to lecture her?

The car quickly started moving, and Luo Qianqian, with a playful smirk on her face, said, ”Big Brother Bai, uh, Uncle Yixian, um, maybe I should call you Big Brother Zhuzi instead. Long time no see, you’ve gotten more handsome.”

”Just stop goofing around,” Bai Yixian shook his head, looked at Luo Qianqian through the rearview mirror with a resigned look on his face, then said to the person next to him: ”Nice to meet you for the first time, I am Bai Yixian, sort of an external elder relative to Qianqian.”

Jimo Cheng looked at Bai Yixian, his face returning to a smile: ”Hello, I am Jimo Cheng.”

However, since Bai Yixian was driving, he had no intention of shaking hands.

Luo Xiying directly slapped Luo Qianqian on the forehead, ”You little rascal, getting cocky, are you? Now you can even take a bullet for someone?”

Luo Qianqian, feeling embarrassed, didn’t dare to speak, but after a little while, she shyly glanced at Jimo Cheng who was seriously looking out the window, pressed her hands together and shook them at Luo Xiying, pleading softly, ”Can you leave me some dignity...?”

Luo Xiying was irate, thinking if Jimo Cheng weren’t there he would have directly checked her wounds, feeling both heartbroken and angry, he slapped her again, ”Third sister-in-law... if your mom knew about this, imagine how she’d deal with you!”

Luo Qianqian dared not say a word, the Luo Family had insiders everywhere, but mom didn’t, how could she know?

After a long while, trying to smooth things over, she grabbed Luo Xiying’s arm, ”Little uncle, how come you’re here? Did you miss me?”

”I was just in the area for some work, and your second brother told me, so I came to check on you,” Luo Xiying rolled his eyes, could he say that the work he intended to do involved attending a hacker’s convention to ask someone to check something? But as soon as he landed, he heard that Luo Qianqian had gone in, so what was the point?

In a gentle and tireless manner, Luo Qianqian described to Luo Xiying how cute An Hao, previously scorned by her as monkey-like, was.

Upon mentioning this, Luo Xiying’s gaze fell on the back of Jimo Cheng’s head, ”You handled it well.”

”It was nothing...” Jimo Cheng couldn’t quite tell if it was praise or criticism, so he just responded vaguely.

Luo Qianqian pouted, ”Little uncle, you have no idea how painful it was at that moment. When the knife went down, there was Type A, Type B, AB Type, O Type blood all over,” seeing Luo Xiying’s stern face, she felt genuinely uneasy inside.

”You still know pain,” Luo Xiying was clearly annoyed, how could this little niece of his get involved in everything?

”But it’s a good thing it was me,” Luo Qianqian showed no sign of regret, ”If something had happened to An Hao or mom, I would find it even more unbearable than the pain in my body.” She wore a faint smile, ”That’s why I really need to thank you, senior brother, little uncle,” Luo Qianqian grinned mischievously, ”By the way, little uncle, did you see anyone come down while you were waiting for me?”

Luo Xiying pulled off the backpack he was carrying and tossed it at his feet, ”You ungrateful little thing, after I brought you back so many tasty treats... By the way, Xiao Yu told you to call her back, and Lin Jiayou... When I arrived, besides these two, there were only the occasional passers-by.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned, then quickly realized that these two must have followed them here, but unfortunately couldn’t enter the internet cafe.

After calling He Wenyu back, she said to Bai Yixian, ”Big Brother Bai, let’s head back home.” Seeing Bai Yixian nodding, Luo Qianqian chuckled softly; indeed, she felt comfortable with this address. Only then did Luo Qianqian look at Jimo Cheng with a puzzled face and asked, ”Senior brother, what was the number you entered into the computer?”

”The number they gave me at the entrance,” Jimo Cheng replied composedly.

Luo Qianqian was incredulous, was it really that simple???

How foolish were those stuck on the second floor???

She secretly admired Jimo Cheng’s impeccable acting, yet she was puzzled. Was that the case? She had never seen the so-called number, nor had any idea of the gibberish on the walls, so whether it was true or not, he wouldn’t know, and even if it were false, she wouldn’t know either.

Wait, when they came down, wasn’t the second floor already empty? Had everyone given up?

”Little uncle, let me tell you, An Hao is particularly cute...” While Luo Qianqian said this to Luo Xiying, her hands were busy sending a message to He Wenyu. If Xiao Yu and Lin Jiayou were there before little uncle arrived, then whether those people had left or not would have been seen by Luo Xiying instead of He Wenyu, right?

But He Wenyu’s answer was: No.

After asking a couple more questions, it turned out that the two arrived while others were still entering. So, where did the people on the second floor go? Luo Qianqian shivered.
