Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

On the training ground.

Cheng Juan and Cheng Shui were still conversing.

In the midst of all the noise, Cheng Juan leaned back on the chair and glanced at Cheng Mu, who was making bets at the table behind Qin Ran. “Let Cheng Mu take the first assessment.”

“Cheng Mu?” Cheng Shui froze.

Cheng Juan nodded. He was too lazy to bother explaining further.

“Boss, Xiao Hei just sent us a video. Someone is at the gates looking for Miss Qin,” Cheng Huo said in a lowered voice while showing his phone.

Narrowing his eyes, Cheng Juan asked, “Who is it?”

“He said his surname is Yang,” Cheng Huo replied.

Cheng Juan tapped his fingers on the table and pondered for a moment. “Okay, I’ll let someone take him to the study.”

**

Cheng Mu’s main liabilities were that he always followed behind Qin Ran and was never formally included in the manor. His name wasn’t on the 421 name list either.

But after defeating Jerry last time, he had gained a name for himself in the manor.

Although doubtful, Cheng Shui still called Cheng Mu over.

“Cheng Mu.” Cheng Shui pointed to the big screen. “Choose someone as your assessment opponent.”

The people in the stands and the gambling den also stopped everything at hand. Cheng Mu was a well-known man next to Qin Ran and everyone paid attention to him.

His expression didn’t change.

He just stared hesitantly at Cheng Shui.

Cheng Shui was speechless.

Cheng Huo just took a sip of water and almost spit it out at this moment. “No, is this kid crazy? He wants to challenge Cheng Shui?”

1

Previously, Cheng Huo had witnessed Cheng Mu score around 850 to 860 on the boxing machine. His strength had indeed increased terrifyingly, but there was still a difference in strength from a score of 900-plus.

Cheng Huo was just thinking of this when Cheng Mu turned and stared at him.

“I’ve chosen.” After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Mu looked away and stared at Cheng Shui. “I choose number 2.”

As the top two in the manor, Cheng Shui and Leader Du were rarely challenged.

1

Needless to say, it was even rarer for Cheng Shui, the creator of the previous record of 910. Except for Leader Du, who sometimes exchanged pointers with him, few people dared to challenge him.

As for Leader Du, his highest record was 899. In the last six months, his boxing strength had peaked at 899, just one point away from a breakthrough.

Neither of them was a particularly good candidate for a challenge.

The competitors had continued to maintain a high energy level throughout the few days, but apart from Tang Qing and Qin Ran’s competition at the beginning, there were few scenes that made the blood pump in their veins.

The energy level once again reached its peak at the sound of Cheng Mu challenging Leader Du.

The vacant tables in the manor were now full of bets.

“Leader Du, isn’t it obvious!” Someone directly went all-in and bet his money on the left side.

Although Jerry was a well-known talent from the information hall, men from there were still generally weaker than men from the procurement hall. Jerry had only scored around 810.

Although Cheng Mu had caused a sensation by defeating Jerry previously, it had only really been the talking point of the information, procurement, and foreign trade hall. The real masters of the law enforcement hall had focused on training and hadn’t paid attention to it at all.

Between Leader Du and Cheng Mu, they obviously chose Leader Du without hesitation.

Most people bet on Leader Du and only a small number of people bet on Cheng Mu.

The blond-haired guy had just won a bet, so he didn’t dare to make a rash decision and glanced at Qin Ran instead.

Leaning lazily on the table, Qin Ran raised an eyebrow and asked in a light tone, “What?”

“Can I still become the richest man in Continent M?” he lowered his voice and asked again.

He didn’t know anything and just wanted to ride on one’s coattails.

“Oh.” Qin Ran pressed her fingers against her lips and chuckled lightly. She turned her gaze to the ring and said, “Then your chance is here.”

Hearing this, the guy immediately moved his money to the right without hesitation. He had bet on Cheng Mu!

1

Beside him, the person thought he was about to go bankrupt. “Are you crazy? Aren’t you afraid of getting trapped by Miss Qin…”

**

On the ring.

Leader Du hadn’t expected Cheng Mu to challenge him.

He glanced at him. Everyone in the manor knew about Cheng Mu.

In the beginning, he couldn’t even defeat the weakest person from the law enforcement hall, but after spending a few days in the training ground, he was basically capable of abusing almost everyone.

Like the other people in the manor, Leader Du had felt particularly dissatisfied with Cheng Mu at first.

He felt like Cheng Mu wasn’t good enough to be placed on par with Cheng Shui and Cheng Huo.

There weren’t many such remarks now.

Someone was even chanting Cheng Mu’s name. “Cheng Mu, knock Leader Du down! Knock Leader Du down!”

Of course, this was just idle talk. After all, Leader Du’s reputation as the undefeated God had lasted several years in the manor.

Leader Du glanced at Cheng Mu. “My boxing strength is 899. Cheng Mu, you have to be careful, I won’t go easy on you!”

At the thought of Cheng Mu following a super master around all day, Leader Du felt inclined to hit his face.

He would never admit that he had rejected Cheng Shui previously due to his pigheadedness.

1

When the referee announced the start, Leader Du squeezed his fists and slammed towards Cheng Mu. His fists flew towards him without any hesitation.

Neither of them used a weapon.

However, in the next second—

“Boom!”

Cheng Mu directly blocked Leader Du’s fist with one hand. He clenched his other hand into a fist and directly hit Leader Du’s chest.

“Crack—”

The light sound of a bone fracture echoed.

2

Leader Du staggered backward.

The originally calm atmosphere surrounding Leader Du gradually turned heavy. He had felt Cheng Mu’s power and couldn’t help but spit out a turbid breath. His arm shook and he gathered up even more strength.

“Boom—”

The two exchanged fists again.

Leader Du staggered three meters backward and almost fell off the ring.

1

The group of people who had been chanting Cheng Mu’s name was speechless.

They had really just been teasing.

With Leader Du’s strength of 899, even if Cheng Shui wanted to defeat him, it would still take some time.

But Cheng Mu… in less than three minutes, he had suppressed him completely!

Not to mention the others, even Cheng Shui himself forgot to report the situation.

In the stands, only Cheng Juan, Qin Ran, and Gu Xichi were calm.

Cheng Juan looked up at Cheng Mu and said casually, “Go and test your boxing strength.”

Cheng Mu just nodded and walked over to the boxing machine. After striking it with a punch, the third row of the boxing machine shuddered a moment before a new piece of data appeared—

974.

2

No one spoke.

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were so powerful because of their natural strength. Nobody in the manor ever thought of comparing themselves with these two people. But Cheng Mu was different…

Everyone had witnessed how Cheng Mu couldn’t defeat the weakest person in the manor, but now his strength had changed to 974?!

Even Cheng Shui had yet to react.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and turned towards Cheng Juan.

At this time, he understood why Cheng Juan had let Cheng Mu go on stage.

974.

In the future annual assessments, Cheng Mu’s name would be in the first place. Many people might not be able to see him, but they would surely be afraid of his name.

Cheng Shui expected Cheng Mu to follow Qin Ran everywhere in the future for her personal use.

Everyone could guess that Cheng Mu could suddenly become so powerful because of Qin Ran.

1

From that day onwards, the attitudes of the people in the manor changed even more.

Amongst the sea of silence, only the blond-haired guy said in a daze, “I’ve become rich again?”

**

After Cheng Mu’s competition.

The energy level of the manor was once again at its peak.

Glancing at the prompt message on his phone, Cheng Shui handed the hosting to Cheng Huo and went to find Qin Ran.

His tone was obviously more respectful.

“His surname is Yang?” Qin Ran was happily distributing money when she heard him. She stuffed the remaining money into the blond-haired guy’s hand and paused, her eyebrows drooping. After a long pause, she finally said, “Let’s go.”

Cheng Shui nodded and took her to the study room in the middle castle.

Cheng Huo was too sloppy and hot-tempered, so Cheng Juan hadn’t let him bring Qin Ran over.

He had specially asked for Cheng Shui.

In the study on the third floor, Cheng Shui stood outside instead of entering with Qin Ran. He guarded the entrance and waited for Qin Ran to come out.

The study was soundproof and their conversation inside couldn’t be heard. Cheng Shui didn’t know who was inside either.

His phone vibrated with a rare message from Cheng Juan—

[Have you reached?]

Cheng Shui replied immediately: [Boss, I didn’t go in. I didn’t see that Mr. Yang.]

There was no reply.

Glancing at his phone blankly, Cheng Shui put it back in his pocket and waited a while before the door opened.

A young man stood at the door.

He was tall and slender and had thick luscious black eyebrows. He nodded slightly at Cheng Shui and greeted him. “Hello.”

“Mr. Yang.” Cheng Shui saw his face clearly. His hands suddenly tightened, and although his face was as calm as usual, he felt a huge wave in his heart.
