Chapter 139

139 The Brother’s Tug Of Power

The result he had was within her expectations and she had only being worried that a dark horse would be among the previous first five, thus, pushing Wu Hao to the sixth position.

In the end, it had indeed fallen within her calculations. After ending the call with him, she went ahead to log into the portal that each participating student had for the exam.

As she was trying to access her results, a call from master Wang Shu came in and her eyes that were already a little droopy from being tired raised a little.

“Master,” her voice was languid and calm, making the man on the other end of the phone unable to guage her emotions.

“Ah! Rong Yue, you have already done very well to have gotten to this point. Just tell this master what school you want to get into and I’ll have them give you a slot immediately,” he said hurriedly, afraid that she would be dispirited.

As someone that had yearned for a granddaughter all his life, what he wanted the most this time was to pamper this student to the end of the world. It could even be considered that in his mind, he had already adopted her already!

Thinking that she didn’t make the cut for the exam’s next level, he didn’t want her to overthink the matter and called to console her immediately.

“Hmmm,” Rong Yue that was currently inputting her password to the site didn’t say much and just acknowledged him.

But her reply made her master even more convinced that her mood was not entirely good.

.....

“Like this, there’s a painting competition in like two weeks, if you win that one, this master is sure that all of those schools would be rushing to take you in also!” As he was talking, the page that Rong Yue was on finished loading, displaying her results on the screen.

“More over...” before he could complete his words, Rong Yue cut in.

“Master, I passed as number one..” Rong Yue said and the other end of the call immediately became silent.

Seeing that even after some seconds, her master said nothing, Rong Yue decided to talk first.

“Master, you don’t have to worry, this student came in as first position,” she repeated, this time her voice had a lot more energy than the first.

She would have convinced him from the moment he called but for someone like her that hated to overestimate herself, she had waited until she saw it there.

After all, there was no saying if some people would go ahead and use connections.

“F..first..” master Wang Shu was struggling to make sense of her words.

Was the first position that easy now? Also, even if it was that easy, surely, there would be several geniuses from those top school in the capital that would be able to get it right?

But he also couldn’t say that it was impossible which would mean that he didn’t trust his student and thus, he had no choice than to nod about the matter.

“Good.. good! As this old man doesn’t understand a lot of things on you people’s matters, I’ll ask your first brother to call you and you both can talk better,” after saying that, the old man hung up quickly, afraid that he would lose his composure or even get some heart attack from being too stimulated.

As for Rong Yue, she didn’t know that she had left her master in a dilemma. She took a picture of the website and sent to teacher Lu, Wu Hao and her mother.

After that, she went back to the chat page that she was on before.

She nodded in satisfaction as she saw that the two had done just as she instructed. The task she completed was something that was accessing a certain firewall of their country.

The firewall itself was a very special one as there was only one of it and the difficulty in the several routes that one would need to go through.

If it wasn’t because she understood Feng Buyan’s skills and how important it was to totally win his trust, she would typically not attempt something like that just like that.

But since it was already done, cleaning up the mess was even more important.

After erasing all the trails of IP address and making sure no one would come to her looking for trouble, she left some messages for Feng Buyan and then logged out.

Although the arcade center was fully air conditioned, as she had done a lot of running around with her little darling and had needed a shower.

On the other hand, Qin Yichen just got the opportunity to talk to the little brat that was taking his wife away and so as soon as he was sure Rong Yue was inside her room, he had gone to the room beside.

“Didn’t you claim to be an adult that didn’t need boarding school? Why then are you snuggling around like a little child?” Qin Yichen asked, his tone laced with dissatisfaction.

The little boy that was currently playing on Rong Yue’s tablet raised his head to look at his brother.

Even when they had said he had some sickness that was close in diagnosis to autism, his brother didn’t say this much words...

Instead of replying, he acted like he heard nothing and went back to playing the game. Even after playing for the whole day, he was only just finishing the second level which left him a little frustrated.

He used to be the one that would even discard games just because they weren’t interesting enough.

Wasn’t this one a little too interesting?

Qin Yichen’s eyes darkened as he looked at the boy in front of him.

“Mother will come to pick you up, first thing tomorrow,” he told him and turned to leave the room.

Between these two, despite their age difference, it was always a game of who had the highest bargaining chips at hand.

For Qin Yichen, he would leave him to behave like that because he knew it was training him. But this time, he really meant his words. After all, his Yue’ Er was the one person he held the most dear in his heart.
