Chapter 137  : There’s a Big Boss Behind Gu Xichi

Xu Yaoguang took out a key and was about to open the door. He paused when he heard Qiao Sheng’s question.

Instead of answering, he questioned, “Since when did you become a fan of Yang Fei?”

“During the winter match last year, the score was 0 to 4. After losing four people, even the team’s coach had given up on them, but he broke into the area that was surrounded by five people alone and resurrected Yi Jiming with the god card of Nuwa! Eventually, he won his first OST match!” Qiao Sheng became very excited while talking about this match.

That was the match that made OST famous, and they were the first champions in Asia.

After the match was over, they went on the news. At that time, live-streaming was not as common, so all of the fans of the Kyushu Tour went to watch the live broadcast on the official website or in Internet cafes.

This match revealed the style and charm of OST.

Even though netizens called Yang Fei the Sun God because of his face.

However, even anti-fans never criticized his skills.

“The officials only gave out basic cards. Only the large teams would have special god cards. And the Nuwa card was the first god card to appear in the country and it took people by storm. Until now, only people from the OST team have it, and other teams can only buy it from them!” Qiao Sheng had some difficulty expressing his excitement.

“What a winter match.” Xu Yaoguang nodded. He opened the door and paused for a while before looking over at Qiao Sheng. “Do you know who created the god card of Nuwa, then?”

Qiao Sheng was startled. He truly did not know.

Although he liked the Kyushu Tour, he had limited knowledge of other games. Three years ago, he had not even heard of OST, and the domestic team never had a breakthrough.

Until that match that made them famous. That was why all fans of the Kyushu Tour knew about the spectacular Sun God and the magical team OST.

“It’s also a member of OST. If you look at the popular posts before Kyushu Tour, you should be able to find some clues.” Xu Yaoguang walked in and his voice was as calm as always.

He did not say anything more.

Who exactly created that god card? Qiao Sheng never considered this question before.

Deep in thought, he returned back to his dormitory.

The Qiao family bought an apartment for Qiao Sheng beside the school and there was also a nanny there. He had a dormitory in school, but because it was a double room, he rarely went there.

“Qiao Sheng, quickly keep the tickets well.”

He Wen initially took a tower and clothes and was ready for a shower, but when he saw Qiao Sheng, he immediately used the towel to wipe his own table.

He respectfully let Qiao Sheng place the box that stored the tickets on it.

Qiao Sheng carefully placed the box down. “Lend me your computer for a while.”

He Wen stood by the table and watched the tickets for a moment. After that, he placed the towel around his shoulders and went for a shower.

A vague voice was heard. “You can use the computer. The password is 123123.”

Almost 90% of the students had the Kyushu Tour on their computers.

Qiao Sheng went to their official website and looked at the official forum. Most of the threads were discussing the Yun Cheng exhibition match tomorrow.

The official website had many popular posts after so many years.

Qiao Sheng scrolled through the pages. When He Wen was done showering, he still had not found it.

He Wen’s results was not outstanding in the First Class, especially math since he was one of the three worst-scoring students. Every night, he would always play games for a while.

Tonight, he was not in a hurry, so he sat at the side and stared at the box with tickets. He was so excited that he could not sleep.

It was only at 12 am that Qiao Sheng finally found a headline.

[Do the first generation OST fans still remember the first generation members?]

First comment: The first generation of fans said that someone retired suddenly before the winter match three years ago. It was very sad and they do not like thinking about it.

Second comment: Don’t talk about it. I’m already crying.

...

Another comment: The most tragic thing was what Sun God said. He said that he wanted to show the world the three god cards including Nuwa and Fuxi.

Yet another comment: Ah, he really did that!

...

This post was very long because Yi Jiming and Yang Fei were the remaining first-generation members. Posts about the old members were not very popular.

However, there were still many replies, and it was even tagged by the administrator.

Only then did Qiao Sheng find out that the three god cards in OST’s hands were created by the same person and not made by a separate team from Yunguang Consortium.

Qiao Sheng leaned against his chair. His heart was beating wildly and he did not come to his senses for a long time.

In the female dormitory.

Qin Ran pulled the bed curtains. There was a dim desk lamp inside the room.

She was currently sitting cross-legged and reading a book casually.

Five centimeters from her feet, her black phone lit up.

Qin Ran turned another page of her book.

Her phone was very stubborn and started vibrating again.

With a hand on her chin and another hand holding the book, she said in annoyance, “It’s no use. Why can’t you just give up?”

The phone lit up persistently for a while, only for Qin Ran to ignore it again. Finally, it dimmed down.

At 1 am.

Her phone, which was placed in another corner, rang again. It was a call from Gu Xichi.

His surrounding environment was very dark and his attractive face was suddenly enlarged. “A group of paparazzi suddenly found my address! Babe, your technique isn’t working. It was calm some time ago, but recently they found me again!”

He was probably still in the car. He was wearing headphones and had a cigarette in his mouth, so his voice was not particularly clear.

Qin Ran got out of the bed and opened the door. She walked to the ends of the corridor. Both rooms on either side were used to store cleaning tools.

She put on her headphones and slowly said, “That’s impossible.”

“I’m just saying, your technique sucks. You should go to the hacker alliance and upgrade your skills. I’ve found someone from there to help me settle it.” Gu Xichi looked at his rearview mirror and hurriedly said, “I’ll go back to my country after hiding out for a few days. I’m hanging up now.”

He ended the video call.

Qin Ran looked at the phone interface thoughtfully, returned to her room, placed a notebook on the table, and poured a glass of water for herself.

In the middle of the night, Lin Siran woke up, went to the toilet, and saw a little light in the dark.

Qin Ran sat in front of her table and her fingers tapped on the keys of the keyboard. She looked a little pale.

Her face was so cold that she looked a little more serious than her usual carefree nature.

“Ran Ran?” Lin Siran rubbed her eyes. Hundreds of blurry numbers suddenly formed a game interface. “Why are you still playing games so late at night?”

She blinked and felt that her vision was not very clear because she just woke up.

Qin Ran acknowledged her while taking a sip of water.

The Kyushu Tour was very popular and Lin Siran saw the other boys in the class play it before.

However, due to the recent incident with Meng Xinran, she could understand a little and downloaded the game after Qiao Sheng instigated her to.

“What card is this, it looks really nice!” It was said that girls could play dress-up no matter what games they played.

Qin Ran quietly looked at the next page, paused, and said, “Nuwa.”

“Why do I only have five very ugly men?” Lin Siran suddenly became more awake.

“Oh, those five are the starting cards.” Qin Ran looked at them casually. “Do you like it? I’ll send one to you in a few days.”

“So it turns out that cards can be sent. Sure!” Lin Siran became excited. After that, she went to the toilet before going back to bed.

After two minutes, Lin Siran’s steady breathing could be heard.

Qin Ran glanced at her. She moved her slender fingers and switched to another application.

At the same time.

The Middle East.

Gu Xichi smoked a cigarette, cursed, and drove to a different hotel.

He did not plan to stay at his hotel for a long time. After five minutes, he planned to abandon his car and walk to another hotel.

He swiped his ID card.

The beautiful lady at the front desk smiled and said in the local language, “Mr. Li, only the standard room is left.”

Gu Xichi leaned over, looked around, and nodded very casually.

When the lady was done talking to him, he paused and took back his ID. The Chinese words on it were clearly “Gu Xichi.”

Why were the English words “Li Dazhuang”?

He went to his room quietly and did not leave immediately. After an hour, nothing strange happened.

After being chased for a few days, Gu Xichi finally sighed in relief.

He made a cup of coffee for himself.

After that, he laid on the sofa and casually reached for his phone.

When he opened WeChat, he looked for Qin Ran’s picture. Instead of calling her or sending a video, he just sent a message.

[Babe, what you did doesn’t work, but the hacker alliance works. I’ve already escaped being tracked. Wait for me. I’ll be back once I’m done.]

Qin Ran, who received this message, had just turned off her computer and was currently reading her book. She was about to sleep soon.

She glanced at the notification from Gu Xichi.

Qin Ran narrowed her eyes and typed back a reply in disgust: [Stupid.]

On the other hand, in the capital.

Jiang Dongye was also very busy this night.

He sat in his office with a cup of coffee in his hand. The phone in the staff room rang and he picked it up.

“You lost the lead again?” Jiang Dongye put down his coffee cup and narrowed his eyes. “I thought you said that you almost caught him.”

The other party said something.

Jiang Dongye got up, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and stared at the night city skyline.”You didn’t seize the opportunity well. This time, Master Juan might not give us information willingly anymore.”

After a long time, Jiang Dongye lowered his head and adjusted his shirt collar. “Let’s wait until the end of the month. Master Juan should be back on his 80th birthday. I will discuss with him in person.”

He hung up the phone and wanted to call Lu Zhaoying again.

He called him three times.

If he was rudely awoken, Lu Zhaoying would definitely blacklist his number.

The next day was Saturday.

There was no class today, only self-revision.

Many people in the Ninth Class did not show up early in the morning.

Qin Ran did not attend the self-study and there was no one in the school doctor’s office. As such, she went directly to Cheng Juan’s villa in the city to find Lu Zhaoying.

Lu Zhaoying was also excited all night and only fell asleep at around 1 or 2 am, so he woke up late in the morning.

When Qin Ran arrived, only Cheng Juan was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor facing a bunch of flowers and reading a book.

His eyes were looking down and his fingers turned the pages of the book casually.

Qin Ran looked over.

The book was turning yellow.

On it was a whole chunk of pictographs.

“Is Qian Dui looking for you?” When he saw Qin Ran, he paused, lazily leaned back, and gestured for her to sit down.

Butler Cheng brought over two cups of tea.

Cheng Juan’s tea was very concentrated.

On the other hand, Qin Ran’s tea was so light that the liquid was a faint brown.

Qin Ran realized that Cheng Juan’s sofa was very comfortable. She held up her teacup. “I’m looking for Lu Zhaoying.”

As she spoke, Lu Zhaoying came downstairs and seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.

“The person got away again? Good luck to you, then. I won’t dare to ask again.” As he spoke, he hung up and walked towards the two of them. “Qin Ran, so early?”

Butler Cheng brought over breakfast for him.

“It’s Jiang Dongye.” Lu Zhaoying drank his fruit juice and said, “He was cut off again and didn’t manage to catch the person, so he wants me to ask you again.”

He glanced at Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan placed his hand on the table and squinted. He then slowly said, “What’s the use of looking for me?”

Lu Zhaoying was speechless.

Butler Cheng served Lu Zhaoying with eggs sunny side up. He saw that the two of them discussed matters without excluding Qin Ran.

He could not help but look at Qin Ran again.

“No. There definitely must be a big boss behind Gu Xichi,” Lu Zhaoying took a bite of his eggs and said firmly. “We just don’t know who he is.”

Qin Ran paused.

After Lu Zhaoying finished his eggs, he looked at Qin Ran again. “Jiang Dongye was my childhood friend and he’s also a doctor. All three of us studied medicine, but he’s not being forced to take over the company.”

Once he was done speaking, Lu Zhaoying looked at Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan was calmly flipping through his book.

Lu Zhaoying smiled. He placed his hand on the side of the bowl and looked up. “When we get to the capital, I’ll take you to see him. He really likes you now and wants to come to Yun Cheng, but he was delegated by Master Juan.”

Butler Cheng looked at Qin Ran again with a stern expression.

“Also, that Gu Xichi...” Lu Zhaoying snorted. “Is also a big boss. I won’t tell you much about this because I don’t know the specific news. Even if I tell you, you won’t understand. Why did you come over so early?”

“Oh.” Qin Ran withdrew her gaze, paused, and said, “I’m here to give you this.”

“What?” Lu Zhaoying looked up curiously.

Qin Ran slowly dug her pockets before pulling out something that looked like a crumpled leaflet.
