Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 476: The Meeting

“No wonder I’ve not heard of this group. The members aren’t on the same level. There are only eight hours today…” Luo En hesitated for a bit before saying, “Let’s visit those who can enter the top 10 first.”

Physics research was rigorous. All one hundred teams had to be assessed by the committee. The entire process of judging team members took many days. Today was the first day of the exhibition, and all five members were at the event location. Hence, the judges would visit the highly anticipated teams first.

These teams were predicted to receive a high ranking.

Every ICNE competition was filled with Great Masters.

Other than Luo En and Mi Luo, besides looking at the nationality of the contestants, the rest also noticed this arrogant team.

Qin Ran’s team registered late. Other than her, the other four members were unknown.

It was almost as if nobody cared.

Leaders from various countries and schools watched the competition while standing outside the exhibition area.

Dean Jiang and Dr. Zhou went to visit teams from other countries in the meantime.

Besides the exhibition stand was a board showing the evaluation of the five members. Everyone was outstanding.

The exhibition ended at 5 pm.

Dean Jiang and Dr. Zhou waited outside.

Qin Ran and her team came out after the crowd had dispersed.

Before Dean Jiang could ask them about what happened, he heard someone calling him from afar. Dean Jiang looked towards the direction of the sound and saw his nemesis, University A’s Physics Department’s Dean Ge.

“Does Beijing University not have any quota? How could you let four freshmen attend this summit.” Dean Ge met Dean Jiang during the meeting yesterday. However, he only had the opportunity to look at the contestant list today. “At this type of competition, you…”

The two universities had been fighting for a long time. But when it came to international competitions, they stood on the same side.

Dean Ge looked at Qin Ran and her teammates. Hesitating, he didn’t finish his sentence. “Did the judges come to see your project today?”

Chu Heng shook his head and replied with a respectful tone, “No.”

“I knew it,” said Dean Ge while shaking his head.

The judging team would only look at those highly anticipated teams. Basically, the teams that they visited on the first day could probably enter the top 20.

Dean Jiang hoped that Qin Ran’s team could enter the top 40. Hearing Dean Ge’s words, he was slightly disappointed. However, if not for Qin Ran’s mysterious teacher who arranged for her to join the competition, Beijing University wouldn’t even have this chance.

Qin Ran saw the Qin Hanqiu and the others waiting for her. She took her jacket and greeted Dean Jiang and the rest before leaving.

Her appearance was calm, unlike her other nervous team members.

“Where is she going alone?” Dean Ge looked at Dean Jiang while frowning. “Are you letting her roam around by herself?”

Dean Jiang pondered. “She must be going to visit her uncle. He’s doing a film here in Continent M…”

Dean Ge was speechless.

The summit hasn’t ended. Don’t be so arrogant!

…

On the other side.

Qin Ran had reached Qin Hanqiu’s side and slowly said, “Father.”

“Where’s Xiao Cheng?” Qin Hanqiu looked behind her but did not see Cheng Juan.

Qin Ran coughed and replied with a casual tone, “He has some matters to attend today.”

“I see.” Qin Hanqiu nodded before turning to introduce Tang Jun. “Ran Ran, this is your Granduncle. He specially came to see you today.”

Qin Ran looked at Tang Jun. She politely nodded and greeted him. “Hello.”

She didn’t call him Granduncle.

Her expression was cold, just like how Qin Hanqiu had mentioned to Tang Jun previously.

Tang Jun didn’t mind it. He was observing Qin Ran and how she could attend the summit in Continent M held by the research institute. She must be what the Lu family described her to be, a genius in physics.

He had seen Qin Ran through a television program. She was sharper than she seemed on television and did not seem like she came from a rural place.

It was out of Tang Jun’s expectations.

“Let’s head to your uncle’s first.” Qin Hanqiu did not mention that they would visit Qin Xiuchen. After two days of shopping in Continent M, he waited for Qin Ran to visit him together.

“Okay.” Qin Ran wore her jacket and said unhurriedly.

They walked towards the outdoor parking.

As they took a few steps, a group of people appeared at the door. “Student Qin Ran, please wait.”

It was Luo En and Mi Luo.

Qin Ran stopped and took two steps forward. She narrowed her eyes to look at them.

Qin Hanqiu, Tang Jun, and the rest stopped a few steps behind her.

These two Great Masters of physics wanted to ask Qin Ran about how she achieved 50% energy conversion previously.

As reporters were waiting for Luo En, the trio did not chat for long.

Qin Ran tugged on her collar and talked towards Qin Hanqiu.

He recognized Luo En and Mi Luo as they were surrounded by reporters once they entered the competition site. “Who are they?”

“Continent M’s Research Institute’s Dean,” Qin Ran said.

Qin Hanqiu nodded in understanding.

Tang Jun and Elder Li were surprised.

Continent M had many forces. Mas family’s three forces stood at the top of the pyramid. The second level of power included the research institutes and family associations that were strongly backed by the Mas family.

Not many knew that Tang Jun was the Hacker Alliance’s chairman. Without this, the Tang family did not stand a chance against the second level.

Elder Li looked at Qin Ran with a serious expression. He hid his condemnation for the Qin family’s descendants.

“Research Institute’s chairman?” Butler Qin was shocked. “Eldest Lady, why is he looking for you?”

Qin Ran stopped beside the car.

She squeezed her fingers. Hearing Butler Qin’s words, she tilted her head. “He wanted to ask me about an experiment.”

No one knew about the physics experiment. They waited along the roadside for Elder Li to drive the car over.

Many top physics researchers gathered at the research institute today, and the surrounding areas were cleared.

Nearby, a police car came towards their direction.

Tang Jun was talking to Qin Hanqiu. Seeing the police car, he told Qin Hanqiu, “That’s the Interpol’s car. Don’t look in that direction, let them leave first.”

Butler Qin knew not to provoke Continent M’s forces. He anxiously took a few steps away together with Qin Ling as he recalled the Cheng family talking about the disappearances of family members in Continent M.

Elder Li saw the police car and parked his car at the edge.

This was a common sight in Continent M. Unlike others, Matthew didn’t fight indiscriminately. However, seeing Butler Qin and Qin Ling taking a few steps back, he continued to stare at the car.

The car slowed down as it approached them. Elder Li rolled down the windows and wanted to ask Tang Jun if they were looking for him. Just as he was about to speak, the car stopped beside his.
