Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered Chapter 243 - Hacked! Tang Qing Weeps in Defeat!

Chapter 243: Hacked! Tang Qing Weeps in Defeat!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The crack was still on the ground.

The people in the stands were confused and exchanged glances.

“Does Miss Tang need to have her computer skills evaluated as well?” Everyone looked at each other on the stands. “She’s Brother Cheng Huo’s junior…”

Tang Qing had never concealed her proud ident.i.ty as one of the members of the Hacker Alliance.

This news had rung throughout the manor when she arrived.

Other than Cheng Huo, it was extremely difficult to find someone else with comparable computer skills.

People who had just become fans of Qin Ran couldn’t help but say, “Miss Qin is so powerful, it’s not shameful for Miss Tang to lose to her.”

“Miss Qin also entered the information hall recently, right? Miss Tang can attend to both her computer skills and her strength simultaneously. It’s not an easy feat…”

Qin Ran’s move had been remarkable…

After the fight, everyone subconsciously saw Qin Ran as on a different level compared to Tang Qing.

The two… were obviously not of the same rank.

Tang Qing pursed her lips. This was the last thing she wanted and expected.

At first, she had just used Qin Ran as a stepping stone, but little did she know that she would be stepped on by Qin Ran instead!

Taking a deep breath, she wanted to retrieve a little bit of pride through her computer skills.

She walked over and sat down in front of a computer.

Grabbing the mouse tightly, she finally felt comforted. As a hacker, the computer was her biggest support.

Tang Qing was extremely confident in front of the computer.

Seeing that Tang Qing was already sitting firmly at her seat, Cheng Shui glanced at Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, your seat is over there.”

He pointed to the edge and motioned for Qin Ran to sit down.

Computer techniques were compared using the firewall, viruses, and designated attacks. This was especially so for professional hackers like Tang Qing.

“I know you have some research on computer skills.” Tang Qing glanced at Qin Ran with dim eyes. There was no hint of her usual arrogance on her face and she said simply, “As long as you can break my first layer of firewall before I do, you win.”

This was the first time Qin Ran met someone who wanted to compare computer skills with her.

Turning on the computer, she heard Tang Qing’s words and slightly raised an eyebrow. She glanced at her and smiled casually. “Okay.”

Cheng Shui couldn’t be the referee of the information hall’s compet.i.tion and just glanced at the two of them. At this stage, he couldn’t change anything either.

He turned around, acknowledging his fate and signaling Cheng Huo to be the referee.

Cheng Huo put down the cup in his hand and walked to the ring. He was speechless for a moment after hearing Tang Qing and took a moment to ask, “Are you sure you want to challenge Miss Qin?”

Tang Qing gripped the mouse tightly and nodded in determination.

Thus, Cheng Huo said nothing more and just glanced at the big screen before saying, “Go ahead.”

Tang Qing said she wouldn’t attack and really didn’t initiate any.

She opened up a code page and added a new code to the firewall. While she edited this, her firewall was motionless.

Qin Ran had yet to attack?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but raise her head to glance at Qin Ran opposite her.

One of Qin Ran’s hands was on the keyboard while the other was laid lazily on the table. She tapped her fingers on the keyboard randomly, and it seemed like she hadn’t started her attack yet.

Tang Qing couldn’t figure out what she was doing, but she didn’t slack off either.

She had bit the dust in the previous challenge because she underestimated Qin Ran. This time, no matter what, she wanted Qin Ran to experience the taste of defeat!

Narrowing her eyes, she stopped looking at Qin Ran and focused on typing quickly on the keyboard.

Among all the challenges, the favorite of the audience was the strength battle. The foreign trade and procurement hall weren’t particularly interested in the code challenge.

At this time, the big screen displayed the computer screens of Qin Ran and Tang Qing.

The people in the other halls couldn’t understand this, but the information hall could.

When Tang Qing launched her attack, Qin Ran didn’t seem to have made a move and was still typing a code slowly.

“Jerry, why hasn’t Miss Qin moved?” The young man sitting next to Jerry saw that the code written by Tang Qing had begun to invade Qin Ran’s computer and was slightly puzzled.

Jerry couldn’t understand it either. “Logically, this shouldn’t be the case. Perhaps Miss Qin is only good at programming and has never learned hacking? We’ll have to wait and see.”

If it had been any other hackers, the people on the stands would have felt extremely bored, but this was Qin Ran and Tang Qing. In particular, Qin Ran’s skills defied the natural order.

Others were willing to watch her in the ring all day, much less compete against Tang Qing.

They listened to the explanation from the information hall and were excited instead of disappointed. “Really? Is Miss Qin going to lose? That’s great!”

Finally, they found her a little more human.

“Miss Qin is so nice to give someone an out.”

“Indeed, she didn’t embarra.s.s her.”

“…”

Not only these members, but Tang Qing herself also felt like she was going to succeed. She looked at the beating lines of code in front of her and saw that the virus had successfully invaded Qin Ran’s computer.

Her cold and blank face finally eased as she heaved a sigh of relief.

She invaded the firewall of Qin Ran’s computer port and pressed “enter”, a smile forming on her face.

But a familiar scene suddenly appeared—

Her originally beating code and the port suddenly fell into darkness!

It was really a very familiar scene. If Tang Qing was capable of remaining sensible at this time, she would definitely recall that when she first entered the manor and tried to check Qin Ran’s and Cheng Juan’s computers, she had encountered the exact same thing!

But she was too focused on the matter at hand. Typing a string of codes, she tried to save her computer.

But her screen was still black!

The indicator light was lit, but the screen was still black. She had obviously been hacked!

Tang Qing’s hands loosened and she felt her hands and feet turn cold. Her mind was blank and she could only look up stiffly at Qin Ran.

She might have grudgingly accepted losing to Qin Ran in terms of strength.

She thought that Qin Ran had been specially trained, so why should she compare her weakness with her strength?

Thus, her reluctance had prompted her to start this second computer compet.i.tion.

She had felt so sure that this time, Qin Ran would lose to her.

But now…

She stared at the black screen of the computer…

Her proud and aloof expression slowly cracked…

On the stands, the people saying that “Miss Qin is so good” suddenly quietened.

“Erm…” someone whispered to a member of the information hall, “is Miss Tang really a member of the Hacker Alliance?”

They were starting to doubt her abilities.

“Other than Mr. Cheng Huo, Miss Tang is the most powerful person in the information hall?” Someone looked at the information hall with the eyes of “Brothers, you are all so weak”.

“What a joke!”

Everyone in the information hall was speechless.

Yes, Tang Qing looked soulless and was secretly weeping in defeat.

Cheng Huo wiped his face and stared at Tang Qing. The originally arrogant and proud woman was now looking like a rag standing in the middle of the ring.

She was probably second-guessing her life.

Once again, it was indeed wise of Cheng Shui to put Qin Ran’s name last.

“Undoubtedly, Miss Qin has won the match.” Cheng Huo announced the result and turned around, returning the mess to Cheng Shui to handle.

Cheng Shui adjusted his clothes and walked to the middle of the stage. He glanced at Qin Ran.

She rolled up her sleeves and walked back to her seat a little reluctantly.

Cheng Shui finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Qin Ran almost reached her seat when she paused.

Cheng Shui held his breath and stared intently at her.

She turned around and beamed at the people on the stands. “I welcome anyone who wants to challenge me.”

Cheng Shui was speechless.

He directly ignored her words and pretended not to hear them. Picking up the name list, he began the a.s.sessment of the second newcomer this year. “Second a.s.sessor, Lawrence from the law enforcement hall.”

Qin Ran glanced regretfully at Cheng Shui and walked back to her seat.

A tall young man came on stage. He had brown hair and only wore a s.h.i.+rt in the cold weather.

His voice sounded deep when he spoke.

The a.s.sessment of freshmen was also ranked according to strength. Tang Qing ranked first because of her abilities, super hacking skills, and because of Cheng Huo.

The second place had ranked only due to his own strength. He wanted to enter the law enforcement hall and was genuinely capable.

The moment he got on stage, he stared directly at Qin Ran and said without waiting for Cheng Shui to ask, “I want to challenge 421!”

Cheng Shui reached out to ma.s.sage his temple.

He glanced at Qin Ran behind him. She was supporting her chin with one hand, her black down jacket making her face look snowy white. Her expression was excited and eager to try.

“Miss Qin, can I please trouble you to come and test your boxing strength?” Cheng Shui ignored Lawrence and just asked Qin Ran respectfully.

“Oh, okay.” Qin Ran nodded reluctantly and was regretful again.
