Chapter 871: 871 Because You’re Not Worthy
....
Ying Xian searched for a long time before he managed to find Tan Ron’s counselor’s contact information from a student he had taught before. Then, he obtained Tan Ron’s contact information through the counselor.
“Found it.” Ying Xian showed Liu Xing his phone number. “Should we call now?
“Of course!” Liu Xing snatched Ying Xian’s phone and immediately called Tan Ron.
The first time she called, Tan Rou did not pick up. Liu Xing didn’t give up. She called twice more. On the third call, she changed the number and Tan Rou finally picked up.
“Hello,” Tan Rou answered the call calmly. “Who are you?”
“What do you want?” Liu Xing suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, “What do you want?”
Tan Rou recognized Liu Xing’s voice and chuckled. “What are you saying? 1 don’t understand a word of it.”
Liu Xing heard Tan Ron’s laughter and knew that Tan Rou must be mocking her. She shouted, “Do you want me dead?!”
“Why are you so angry?” Tan Rou asked.
“If I remember correctly, you just received an invitation to the global Scientist Certification Competition, right? This is a happy thing. Why are you so angry?”
Her fingers operated the mouse and clicked on the computer screen a few times. A few new web pages appeared on the computer screen. These were the big gifts she gave to Liu Xing.
“Were you behind the news that appeared on the Internet?” Liu Xing questioned.
“What happened online?” Tan Rou asked. “I don’t know anything about it.”
Tan Rou clicked twice and a new article was posted. Soon, a new trending topic appeared.
“You deliberately released negative news about me before 1 participated in the certification. Are you trying to get the certification yourself? You’re too despicable,” Liu Xing said in exasperation.
Tan Rou’s tone turned cold. “Do you want to see how your work was invented? Can plagiarized works be considered representative works?”
“Those are all my hard work!” Liu Xing’s expression was terrifying. Her eyes were red and her face was black. She looked like she wanted to chop someone.
When Ying Xian saw Liu Xing like this, he suddenly felt afraid. In his impression, Liu Xing had always been a gentle girl. He did not expect her to reveal such a terrifying side. It was too terrifying.
“You’re thick-skinned!” Tan Rou commented, “If the Global Scientist Association allows you to pass the certification, then they won’t be able to organize any more events in the future. And I don’t agree with them sending you an invitation because you’re not worthy!”
Liu Xing was stunned. She felt that Tan Rou’s words were a little strange. “Did you also send an application?”
“If you can apply, why can’t I?” Tan Rou replied.
Liu Xing turned around and scolded Ying Xian, “Didn’t I tell you to look after her? Why didn’t I know about her application to the Science Association?”
Ying Xian felt wrong. How could he keep an eye on Tan Rou? No matter if Tan Rou was at school or home, he could not get close to her.
“Don’t fight among yourselves. Instead of arguing, why don’t you think about how to face your business partner?” Tan Rou laughed.
Tan Rou hung up the phone. As soon as she hung up, another call immediately rang Liu Xing’s phone.
“Hello, CEO Wang!” Liu Xing picked up the phone. “Everything on the Internet is fake. Someone deliberately spread rumors about me. Don’t believe it! Moreover, 1 just received an invitation letter from the Global Association of Sciences and will be going overseas soon. If you break off our cooperation now. it will be difficult for us to work together in the future.”
On the other side, CEO Wang said, “I’m sorry. We already have a new target for cooperation. You can look at the news. You’re not the only one in our country who has received an invitation.”
Ying Xian showed his phone to Liu Xing and whispered, “The other person is Tan Rou. The internet is flooded with it. She probably bought it too.”
When Liu Xing saw Tan Rou’s name, the flames of hatred filled his heart. “This b*tch, I must kill her!”
President Wang was shocked by her. “Miss Liu, I don’t know anything. Please don’t implicate me. Our cooperation ends here. The compensation will be transferred to your account. Don’t contact me again in the future.” With that, he hung up the phone..
Chapter 872: 872 Play Bigger
....
“Boss, why did you expose yourself?” Hang Wei was personally scolding Liu Xing’s troll army when he suddenly saw a new trending topic. He clicked on it and saw that Tan Rou had posted about him receiving an invitation.
“The only thing Liu Xing can take out now is this invitation letter. With this invitation letter, her business partners will have more time to consider. However, as long as someone else gets an invitation, those partners will immediately terminate their contract with Liu Xing. They are all businessmen and will not take such a big risk to protect Liu Xing.”
Tan Rou patiently explained to Hang Wei.
Hang Wei seemed very excited. “Boss, should we expose more information so that Liu Xing can’t turn things around?”
Tan Rou was thinking about this matter. “Since you want to reveal something, then let’s reveal something interesting. It would be best if it can completely steal Liu Xing’s limelight.”
Hang Wei laughed and joked, “Then why don’t you release the fact that you’re the big boss of TR Company? 1 guarantee that you’ll attract everyone’s attention.”
“Yeah, sure.”
Hang Wei was stunned. “Huh?! Boss, did you agree to it just now?”
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. “Do I look like I’m joking?”
Hang Wei didn’t understand. “Boss, didn’t you say you wanted to hide your identity? Why are you exposing yourself now? Aren’t you afraid that the people from the laboratory will find you?”
Tan Rou replied, “It doesn’t matter. 1 didn’t want to expose myself in the past because 1 was worried that those lunatics would threaten my family. Now, I am no longer the little girl who had nothing. I don’t have to be afraid of them anymore. Moreover, 1 also want to settle the score back then. If they come looking for me, it’s a good time to settle the scores now.”
Hang Wei patted his chest and promised, “Boss, if you need my help, just let me know. The entire TR company is your strongest backing.” Even if we can’t, we still have the country behind us.”
“Is there a need to exaggerate?” Tan Rou laughed. “We’re only dealing with Liu Xing, we don’t need that many people for now.”
“Boss, don’t worry. I’ll be there when you call me,” Hang Wei said.
Tan Rou nodded. “Have you done what I asked you to do?”
She peeked at Hang Wei’s computer and saw that he was arguing with the troll army.
“Don’t do such a boring thing. Find what I need when you have time.” Tan Rou tapped on the table a few times and deleted the webpage on the computer screen.
Hang Wei only replied to a few messages when he was busy. He wasn’t only staring at the news online.
“Boss, it’s been a few years. Can we find the surveillance cameras there again?” Hang Wei was a little unconfident. “Besides, the people in the laboratory must have found out that Liu Xing harmed you. Will they delete the surveillance footage?”
“It won’t happen.” Tan Rou said, “Those guys in the laboratory love to observe their children. Other than showering and going to the toilet, we are monitored all the time. They will watch our videos repeatedly. Whether it’s a failure or a success, they will keep it.”
“Alright, I’ll look for it. I hope I can find it.” Hang Wei began to hack into the laboratory system from back then.
Tan Rou could have done it herself. She would be faster than Hang Wei, but the video was too old and it would take more time to find it. Tan Rou had other things to deal with and could not keep staring at the computer screen.
“Boss, how many years do you think Liu Xing will be sentenced to?” Hang Wei asked Tan Rou as he searched for the video.
“I hope that she will be imprisoned for life.” Tan Rou said, “Compared to the death penalty, I would rather she be sentenced to life imprisonment. She’s only in her twenties, but she has to stay in prison for decades. To her, this is more painful than killing her.”
“What if she’s bailed out?” Hang Wei was a little worried. After all, although Liu Xing’s crime was not small, he could still be released.
“That’s why I need you to find the surveillance footage from back then, to prove that Liu Xing tampered with my machine back then and was suspected of intentional murder. Attempted murder and other charges are enough for Liu Xing to stay in prison for the rest of his life. I said 1 won’t let her off, so I won’t let her off easily.”
Hang Wei was completely supportive of Tan Rou. “Boss, end it early and come back early.”
Tan Rou smiled. “After this, I’ll come back to the company more often..”
Chapter 873: 873 Meeting at the Airport
....
After Tan Ron’s identity was exposed, her classmates and relatives kept calling her to ask if it was true. There were also many business partners who came to her door who wanted to discuss business with her but Tan Ron did not reply to any of them. She turned off her usual phone number and only used the phone that few people knew to contact others. This phone number was only known to those close to her.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time for Tan Rou and Liu Xing to leave the country. Coincidentally, they left on the same day. Although they were not on the same plane, they took off at about the same time.
The entrance of the airport was filled with reporters. They didn’t come here to interview them after receiving the news. They had been waiting here ever since Liu Xing’s plagiarism was exposed. Liu Xing didn’t come out of her house and they couldn’t enter Tan Ron’s house either. Fortunately, both Tan Rou and Liu Xing had to take a plane to go abroad from here. Therefore, these reporters all came to the airport gate to block them.
Liu Xing arrived first. Even though she was wrapped in a thick black coat, wearing a thick hat and mask, she was still recognized by the sharp-eyed reporters.
The reporters sprinted towards Liu Xing at a speed of 50 meters, surrounding him until he could not move.
“Miss Liu Xing, do you have any explanation for plagiarizing Miss Tan Ron’s work? Was the plagiarism true? Did you pay the compensation to Miss Tan?”
“Miss Liu Xing, is it true that you hired a troll army to insult Miss Tan Rou? Didn’t you always create the image of a gentle and talented girl? Why would he hire fake reviewers to scold others? Moreover, Miss Tan Rou is only a teenage girl. Aren’t you being too vicious to have others treat her that way?”
“Miss Liu Xing, what do you think about the fact that Miss Tan Rou also received an invitation? Do you think you can win against her? Also, can you tell me what kind of work will you be presenting for the competition? Did you create it yourself, or did you plagiarize it?”
Liu Xing took his microphone away and said loudly, “Regarding the rumors on the Internet, I won’t give any explanation. Once I come back from abroad, all the rumors will be broken. Believe me, I’ve been wronged.”
“Since you said you were wronged, then show me the evidence to refute!” A familiar voice sounded behind Liu Xing. Liu Xing felt his blood boil.
She turned her head and stared at the girl who was also dazzling in the crowd. Liu Xing had wrapped herself up like a dumpling, afraid that others would recognize her, but Tan Rou was different. Not only did Tan Rou arrive at the airport, she also came in a high profile manner. There were more than ten people who came to send her off. Almost all of her family had come.
As soon as Tan Rou came over, the reporters who had surrounded Liu Xing earlier immediately turned their cameras to her. “Miss Tan Rou, can 1 ask you a few questions?”
These reporters were more well-behaved in front of Tan Rou. They were not afraid of Tan Rou, but the Tao family who protected her like a mountain.
Tan Rou nodded slightly. “Go ahead.”
The reporters took out the questions they had prepared beforehand and asked one after another, “Miss Tan Rou, what are your thoughts on the matter of Miss Liu Xing plagiarizing your work? Will they sue her?”
“I won’t answer that for now. You’ll find out in the future,” Tan Rou replied.
“Miss Tan Rou,” another reporter asked, “you’re going overseas to participate in the Global Advanced Scientist Certification Assessment Competition. Do you think you’ll pass the certification?”
“If I can’t pass the certification, then Liu Xing can’t either,” Tan Rou said proudly.
The reporters present instantly felt that Tan Rou was not someone to be trifled with. She dared to say that in front of Liu Xing, which showed that she was someone with tricks up her sleeves. However, she did have the right to be proud. Liu Xing’s plagiarized work was already very impressive, so the original work would definitely be even more impressive.
“Alright, stop asking.” Mr. Tao interrupted the reporters, “My daughter still has to take a flight. If you have any questions, you can ask Miss Liu Xing over there. I’m sure she’ll be happy to answer you.”
These reporters were all smart people. They knew very well who they could offend and who they could not.. Since the head of the Tao family had already spoken, how could they continue asking?
Chapter 874: 874 Confrontation
....
The reporter pointed the camera at Liu Xing again. “Miss Liu Xing, do you agree with what Miss Tan Rou said just now? She said that you can’t beat her. Is that true?”
Liu Xing was about to tear off the clothes on her. What was Tan Rou, this wretched slut, talking about? Why was she stronger than her?
“Of course not! These are all her lies,” Liu Xing said angrily. “She wants to use this method to disrupt my mood for the competition. It’s just hateful.”
Tan Rou said, “People with real strength won’t be affected by the outside world. Only those with a guilty conscience will be afraid that others will surpass them. Liu Xing, don’t think that just because the negative news on the Internet disappeared, you can pretend that nothing happened. 1 have plenty of evidence of your plagiarism in my hands. You can’t delete these things.”
Liu Xing wished he could kill Tan Rou right now and then snatch her brain and put it in his own. “Tan Rou, what benefits do you get from framing me like this?”
Tan Rou sneered. “Only you know whether I framed you or not. As for the benefits… I just don’t want someone who’s famous for plagiarizing another person’s work to pass the certification.”
“Miss Tan Rou is also going to participate in the certification this time, right? There’s a flight to M Nation at this time. Are you on the same flight as Miss Liu Xing?” asked a reporter.
“How is that possible? My daughter won’t squeeze on the plane with anyone else,” said Mr. Tao.”The Tao family’s private jet is already waiting on the tarmac. It can take off at any time.”
The reporters present, including Liu Xing, had never taken a private jet before, but they knew how much it cost to fly a private jet. This was not only a matter of spending money, but also a matter of influence.
The private plane had to come to the airport before it could take off. If the plane wanted to take off successfully, it had to be reported to the authorities. Only when the aviation bureau allowed it to take off could the private plane take off.
“From this point, Liu Xing has lost, right?” The nosy reporters began to whisper among themselves.
“No one can compare to Tan Rou in terms of ability, family background, and looks. I really don’t know how Liu Xing became famous in the past.”
“How she became famous? Plagiarism of course! Look at the works she plagiarized and then look at the works she created herself. The difference is too big.”
Liu Xing wanted to rush up and tear the reporters ‘mouths apart. She could ask anything, but she had to ask how Tan Rou went abroad. Now, she had not even gone abroad, but she had already lost to Tan Rou. When she went abroad, she would be suppressed by Tan Rou in every way.
“Alright, alright. Everyone, don’t crowd around here and affect the traffic.” Tan Rou smiled and said, “The content of today’s interview should be enough for you to come up with more than one article, right? The weather is so cold. You guys shouldn’t stay outside for too long. Go back and rest early.”
The reporters were starting to like Tan Rou more. Although she came from a prominent family, she did not put on any airs. Instead, she spoke to them very gently. This was much better than Liu Xing. Liu Xing would glare at them fiercely and even tell them to get lost.
Tan Rou walked for a while before turning around to say to Tao Zhi, “Big Brother, the weather is so cold. It’s quite cold for all our reporter friends to wait here. Help me treat them to a cup of hot cocoa and a French pastry each.
The things near the airport were not cheap. An ordinary bottle of mineral water could cost two yuan to five yuan, not to mention the other food here.
Liu Xing was short of money recently. She would not spend money to treat these reporters to food. These annoying reporters had asked her so many difficult questions just now. She was already giving them face by not settling scores with them. They still wanted her to treat them to food? Dream on!
The small incident at the airport ended with Tan Rou having the upper hand. However, Liu Xing who was also pestered by reporters at the airport for a long time and almost missed his flight that day.
When she dragged her exhausted body to catch the plane, a plane with the Tao family’s logo flew past her. That was Tan Rou’s plane.
Liu Xing looked at the plane that took off with envy and jealousy. She kept cursing Tan Rou’s plane to crash. It would be best if Tan Rou fell into the deepest part of the ocean, get shredded into pieces by the sharks and disappear from the face of the earth..
Chapter 875: 875 Wherever You Go, I Go
....
Tan Ron was in a good mood after winning against Liu Xing at the airport gate. She boarded the plane happily and planned to sleep until the plane landed.
Tan Rou thought that she was going alone, but she saw Zhuang Liu on the plane. This was their family’s private plane. Why would Zhuang Liu come up?
“Third Brother, why are you on my family’s plane?” Tan Rou carefully identified the family tattoo on her private plane and repeatedly checked if she had boarded the wrong plane. “And why didn’t you tell me? Yesterday, 1 asked you if you were coming to send me off, but you said you weren’t. 1 was so angry at that time.”
Zhuang Liu closed the book he was reading and patted the seat next to him. “Rourou, don’t be angry. 1 just wanted to give you a surprise. Sit down first, and then 1’11 explain to you why I’m here.”
It turned out that this flight was arranged by Tao Zhi. After learning that Tao Zhi would arrange Tan Ron’s trip, Zhuang Liu went looking for Tao Zhi. He suggested that he accompany Tan Rou and leave Tan Ron’s trip abroad to him. He would take good care of Tan Rou.
Tao Zhi initially didn’t agree to it. He had to be prepared for his sister to go abroad alone. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t leave the company and Tan Rou had to go alone, he would definitely ask for leave to accompany his sister.
Zhuang Liu had been brainwashing Tao Zhi and using Tian Tian’s matter to persuade Tao Zhi. He said that if Tian Tian wanted to go abroad, would Tao Zhi accompany her?
Tao Zhi, who had just confirmed his relationship with Tian Tian, naturally couldn’t bear to separate from Tian Tian. If Tian Tian wanted to go abroad, he would definitely accompany her. Thinking of this, Tao Zhi finally became lax.
After that, Zhuang Liu said it many times, and Tao Zhi reluctantly agreed. However, he requested that Zhuang Liu not appear in front of the Tao family. If he wanted to go, he had to follow them secretly.
Tan Rou laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. “How old the both of you now? Why are all of you so childish?”
Zhuang Liu pulled Tan Rou into his arms. “I’ll always be eighteen.”
Tan Rou leaned on his shoulder. “Will accompanying me overseas this time affect your work?”
“It won’t affect me. I’ve already settled most of the matters here.” Zhuang Liu said, “Moreover, He Xi’s parents are in M Nation. This time, I plan to meet He Xi’s parents in M Nation and let them restrain my second uncle and second aunt.”
“You said that He Xi escaped last time. Have you found her now?” Tan Rou asked.
Zhuang Liu said, “He Xi didn’t escape. She was just sent out by Han Min with money. In order to get He Xi out of the mental hospital, she spent a lot of money. Because of the money, Second Aunt and Second Aunt had a big fight again and even smashed some antiques in the old house.”
Tan Rou’s heart ached a little. “Are you just going to let them destroy your house?”
Zhuang Liu smiled. “That won’t happen. Those are all fake anyway. I’ve locked up the real antiques long ago.”
Tan Rou smiled. “You’re quite smart.”
“Sigh, I have to be smarter. Otherwise, I’m not worthy of you!” Zhuang Liu sighed and said, “Actually, I had my own selfish motives when 1 followed you here. Firstly, I wanted to take care of you so that you could participate in the selection competition in peace. Secondly, 1 was worried that someone would come and bother you. You’re so outstanding. What if you’re abducted by someone else?”
“Is there a need to be so nervous?” Tan Rou laughed. “Besides, if you follow me this time, can you follow me everytime?”
“I will if 1 can,” Zhuang Liu said solemnly. “Wherever you go, 1 will follow. No one can separate us.”
Tan Rou quietly held his hand. “Same for me. I’ll go wherever you go in the future. We’ll never be apart.”
Zhuang Liu looked down at Tan Rou and found that she had already closed her eyes, so he asked, “Do you want to rest for a while?”
Tan Rou was indeed a little sleepy. She had been busy looking for evidence these past few days and had not had the chance to sleep well. Now that she was free, she felt a little tired.
“I’ll rest for a while. Call me when we reach our destination.” Tan Rou lay on Zhuang Liu’s lap. The place they were sitting on was very spacious and could be used as a bed.
Zhuang Liu took the blanket behind him and covered Tan Rou’s body.. He kissed her on the side of her face and said softly, “Rourou, have a good dream!”
Chapter 876: 876 Acting High-profile
....
After the plane landed, Tan Ron got into the car that Zhuang Liu had arranged for her. Then, they came to an ancient castle together. Looking at the tall castle, Tan Ron asked, “Did you rent the castle?”
Zhuang Liu took her hand and said gently, “If I rented the castle, 1 wouldn’t have brought you here.”
“Did you buy this castle?” Tan Ron was a little surprised. It was very difficult to buy an ancient castle like this. Moreover, Zhuang Liu was a foreigner. How could he buy this ancient castle in such a short time?
“To be precise, my grandfather bought it when he was still alive. My grandmother liked architectures like these very much, so my grandfather bought this ancient castle.” Zhuang Liu said regretfully, “But until my grandmother passed away, the procedures for this castle were not completed. My grandmother also did not see the gift that my grandfather prepared for her.”
Tan Rou felt that it was a pity. Now that the two owners of the castle had passed away, there was no use for the castle to be left here.
Zhuang Liu saw Tan Rou’s expression and knew that she was sad. He said, “Grandpa gave this castle to me before he died. He said that if I have someone I like in the future, 1 will bring her here to live for a while to make up for the regret that he and my grandmother couldn’t come here together.”
Tan Rou held Zhuang Liu’s hand tightly. “Alright, let’s go in!”
There were still three days before the competition. Tan Rou could rest for these three days. She planned to participate in the competition first and then wander around for a few days. She tried her best to hide her tracks and did not want reporters from home and abroad to discover her. Zhuang Liu’s castle was relatively hidden, and basically no one could disturb her.
“Take a look at this.” Tan Rou had just sat down when Zhuang Liu brought the tablet over to show her. “After Liu Xing landed, she was interviewed by foreign reporters. The foreign reporters didn’t seem to know what happened in China and thought that she was the only one who received an invitation this year. They came over to interview her. She said something that wasn’t stupid in front of the camera.”
Tan Rou finished watching the video and searched for Liu Xing’s name. There was indeed a lot of news about her. In China, news about Liu Xing was basically negative. However, it was different overseas. Almost all the news abroad praised Liu Xing, and he was almost praised to the heavens.
Looking at Liu Xing’s smiling face in the video, Tan Rou had an idea. “Since Liu Xing likes to be high-profile, let’s make her more high-profile, just to satisfy her vanity.”
“What do you want to do?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou smiled and whispered something into his ear.
Zhuang Liu smiled helplessly. “Alright, i’ll have it arrange now.”
On the other side, after Liu Xing finished her interview at the airport, he went to the hotel he had booked. She was staying in an ordinary single room. The conditions were not that great, but the price was very expensive. Liu Xing fought for a long time, but the association did not upgrade her suite.
“Check in!” Liu Xing threw her passport at the front desk of the hotel.
The receptionist looked at her passport and carefully examined her face. Then, she asked in Chinese, “Are you Miss Liu Xing, who is here to participate in the Global Advanced Scientist Certification Assessment?”
When Liu Xing saw that even a small receptionist knew her, she suddenly felt that she was very impressive. She smiled and said confidently, “It’s me. May 1 know what you need?”
The receptionist took her passport and said with a smile, “Miss Liu Xing, our boss has already informed us. He said that if you were to come here, you can go directly to the VIP presidential suite. You don’t have to spend time here to check in.”
Although Liu Xing was very happy, she did not let her guard down. “Why did your boss give me the presidential suite? And was this room free? Don’t tell me you want me to spend money again?”
“Of course not.” The receptionist smiled and said, “This is a free upgrade for you. You can stay in peace. As for why we upgraded you to a presidential suite, our boss is from the same country as you. He said that you’re representing the country to win international honor this time, so he has to treat you well. He hopes that you can live here in peace.”
Liu Xing’s vanity was satisfied. She asked again, “You’re not charging me for the upgrade?”
“Of course not,” said the receptionist. “Please go to your room and rest.”
Liu Xing started to put on airs. “Then you can bring my suitcase to my room.”
“Sure.” The receptionist replied with a meaningful smile..
Chapter 877: 877 Surveillance
....
Liu Xing followed the receptionist to the exclusive elevator of the presidential suite. She liked the environment here very much, but she was worried that Tan Rou would come here too.
“Hey, let me ask you. Other than me, is there anyone else from my country staying in this hotel?” Liu Xing asked.
“Miss Liu Xing, we only received the mission to entertain you. There’s no one else.” The receptionist replied.
Liu Xing was overjoyed. Tan Rou definitely didn’t get the treatment of staying in the presidential suite. Although the Tao family was very rich, could the Tao family arrange such a good room for Tan Rou overseas?
She urged the receptionist. “Hurry up. Why aren’t you in my room yet?”
The receptionist smiled and replied, “Don’t worry. There are some things in the room that need to be tidied up. We’re not in a hurry.”
Liu Xing thought that it was a surprise specially prepared for her. Hence, he said, “Since it’s a surprise prepared for me, then let’s wait a little longer.”
The receptionist did not reply.
After a few minutes, the receptionist took Liu Xing to her room.
As soon as she entered the door, Liu Xing was attracted by the luxurious crystal chandelier in the presidential suite. She had seen the picture of the crystal chandelier before. It was said to cost more than a million. She did not expect that this hotel would use such an expensive thing as an ornament. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Liu Xing looked around the place. Everything she saw was very novel.
The receptionist silently rolled her eyes at the place where Liu Xing was looking at and whispered, “What a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.”
Liu Xing was still happy. She touched the leather sofa and looked at the murals on the wall. She said to the receptionist with satisfaction, “The room is not bad. I like it very much. You can go out now. I want to rest for a while.”
A smile appeared on the receptionist’s face again. “Okay, have a good rest. If you need anything, you can call the front desk directly.”
Liu Xing only wanted the receptionist to leave quickly. She had to enjoy the comfortable presidential suite.
After the receptionist left, she spoke a few words through the walkie-talkie. Then, she glanced at Liu Xing’s room and shook her head. “How can there be a free lunch in this world?”
Liu Xing lay on the soft sofa. She was very relaxed. Once she relaxed, she would easily fall asleep. She wanted to rest for a while, but her phone rang.
“Hey, why are you calling me now?” Liu Xing picked up the phone and said to Ying Xian impatiently, “1 need to rest for a while. Call me later.”
Ying Xian called her because he was concerned about Liu Xing. He didn’t expect Liu Xing to not only be ungrateful, but also a little impatient. This made Ying Xian very angry. “I’m also concerned about you, so 1 called to ask if you got off the plane. Why are you so unhappy?”
“I’ve already checked into the hotel safely,” Liu Xing replied with a frown.
“Did you just accept an interview from a foreign reporter?” asked Ying Xian.
Liu Xing smiled. “Yeah, I didn’t expect to have so many fans. Even if I’m overseas, there are still many people coming to pick me up.”
Ying Xian didn’t think so. “You shouldn’t have accepted their interview. At this juncture, you should be keeping a low profile. Besides, many of the reporters ‘questions are digging a hole for you. Can you tell?”
Liu Xing was not happy to hear such words. “Why would they set me up? This is overseas, and those stupids rumors back at home wouldn’t reach here. Just now, a fan who worships me upgraded me to a VIP presidential suite.”
“What presidential suite?” asked Ying Xian.
Liu Xing said proudly, “When my fans heard that I was coming to participate in the evaluation, they specially upgraded me to the VIP presidential suite for free. They paid for all my expenses here.”
Ying Xian felt uneasy. “Xing, have you investigated who upgraded your suite?” “What’s there to investigate?” Liu Xing asked. “He must have admired me so he upgraded me to a suite. There’s no need to investigate.”
Ying Xian was still very worried. “You should.”
Liu Xing glanced around the house impatiently. “I’ve checked. The room is perfect. Don’t worry about anything happening.”
However, the mini monitor had already started working. Its task was to record what Liu Xing said in the room..
Chapter 878: 878 He Wants to Kill Me
....
“Xing, that’s not what 1 meant.” Ying Xian was a little anxious. “It’s a good thing that someone upgraded your presidential suite, but you have to find out who did it and what their purpose is. Otherwise, how can you stay here in peace?”
“Since you think this presidential suite is not safe, why don’t you pay me to upgrade it?” Liu Xing said coldly.
Ying Xian stopped talking. The presidential suite in the hotel cost 70,000 to 80,000 RMB per night. He couldn’t afford that much.
“Xing, I think you need to keep a low profile. Tan Rou already has a lot of evidence against you,” Ying Xian emphasized again. “If you’re too high-profile, she’ll definitely find something against you.”
“What does that matter? As long as the incident back then is not exposed, Tan Rou can’t do anything to me no matter how much evidence she has,” said Liu Xing indifferently.
“Xing, we have to be careful. The current situation is very unfavorable for us. If you can’t pass the certification this time, then we’re all finished.” Ying Xian was extremely worried about their ending.
“What are you worried about?” Liu Xing said angrily, “It has already happened for so many years. It’s harder than ascending to the heavens for Tan Rou to find the person from there. What are you afraid of? If someone in your lab will help Tan Rou, then you don’t have to worry anymore. I’ve already contacted them. As long as Zhu Sheng is there, there won’t be any problems.”
“When did you contact Zhu Sheng?” Ying Xian was very unhappy about Liu Xing contacting Zhu Sheng privately. “Xing, we should reduce our contact with Zhu Sheng now. Tan Rou must be investigating us. If she finds out that Zhu Sheng was involved in the incident back then, she will definitely go to Zhu Sheng. When Zhu Sheng points his fingers at us, we will definitely go to jail.”
“Don’t worry, that old bastard Zhu Sheng won’t rat us out.” Liu Xing was very confident. “Back then, he was the one who changed the data on Tan Ron’s machine with me. He was also the one who changed Tan Ron’s memory. If Tan Rou finds out that he changed her memory, do you think she will let Zhu Sheng off?”
Before Ying Xian could reply, Liu Xing continued, “Zhu Sheng, that old thing, cares about reputation and money the most. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have put down his old face to harm a teenage girl. As long as Zhu Sheng doesn’t say anything, we’ll be fine.”
Ying Xian was slightly relieved. “Alright, be careful when you’re overseas. I’ll keep an eye on this side. Otherwise, the public opinion will ferment again.”
“There’s one more thing I need you to do,” Liu Xing said.
“Tell me,” Ying Xian said.
Liu Xing instructed ” Tan Rou has also received an invitation, but I don’t want her to enter the competition venue. So, go and inform Zhu Sheng. Tell him to delete Tan Ron’s name from the certification system. When that time comes, she won’t be able to enter the system and definitely won’t be able to participate in the competition.”
Ying Xian felt that Liu Xing’s idea was very naive. “Ah Xing, no matter how powerful Zhu Sheng is, he can’t do this. If someone finds out, we will be punished by the International Court of Justice.”
Liu Xing felt that Ying Xian was useless. She said angrily, “Do you want to see me lose to Tan Rou?”
Ying Xian naturally did not want to see such a situation. “Alright, 1’11 help you inform Zhu Sheng.”
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xing was in a bad mood. Ying Xian was really too stupid. If it wasn’t because she had feelings for him, she would like left him behind a long time ago.
Back then, many rich young masters pursued Liu Xing, but Liu Xing did not agree. She only took a fancy to Ying Xian, who had grown up with him. Looking back after so many years, Liu Xing felt a trace of regret. If she had chosen someone else back then, would she not have to run around for money now?
“Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.” Liu Xing rubbed his eyes, then took out a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The mini-surveillance camera’s work ended here. Tan Rou had obtained all the evidence she wanted, so she naturally had no interest in monitoring Liu Xing anymore.
“Is this Zhu Sheng also the person who harmed you back then?” Zhuang Liu’s expression was not good.
“He’s one of the people in charge of the lab, but 1 didn’t know he was involved in that incident. However, I’m not surprised that he conspired with Liu Xing because he wanted to me dead from the very beginning..”

“He’s the best hacker in the laboratory. He’s always in the top three in the domestic and international rankings. When I entered the laboratory, I was just a little girl who didn’t know anything, so I couldn’t threaten his status. Later, when I showed my talent in computers, he treated me as a thorn in his side and always wanted to get me out of the laboratory.” Tan Rou recounted what happened back then. “In fact, I always hoped that he would succeed because that laboratory was really not meant for humans.”
“According to the rules, I should call him a teacher because he taught me computer skills.” Tan Rou looked sad. “Unfortunately, in the end, he destroyed the student he once liked and envied them for the sake of fame and money.”
Zhuang Liu knew that Tan Rou had suffered a lot to have such abilities. He did not know what kind of torture Tan Rou had suffered in the past. He only knew that it was very cruel there. If she was not careful, she would become a lunatic or a fool.
“Xiao Rou…” Zhuang Liu gently hugged Tan Rou. “If 1 had met you earlier, I wouldn’t have let you suffer so much.”
Tan Rou said, “Although I’ve suffered a lot, I’m also very grateful to them. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have learned these skills, much less saved you.”
Zhuang Liu rested his head on Tan Ron’s forehead. “I love you, Rourou.”
Tan Rou closed her eyes slightly. “1 love you too.”
Just as Zhuang Liu was about to kiss Tan Rou, Tan Rou suddenly left. She pulled out the USB drive that copied the video and said, “The evidence collection is complete.”
Zhuang Liu felt disappointed. “Rourou, 1 haven’t kissed you yet.”
Tan Rou shook the USB in her hand and smiled. “Let’s kiss after we’re done.”
Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Rou gloomily. “Can’t we do it now?”
“I’m busy now,” Tan Rou said. “You should go do your own things.”
Zhuang Liu still had to find He Xi’s parents to discuss some matters. His time was also very tight. There were many things overseas that he had to do. One of the reasons he convinced Tao Zhi to let him come with Tan Rou was that he had a lot of things to do and wouldn’t stay with Tan Rou forever.
“Alright, I’ll go to work too. I want to be a man with ambition,” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou was amused by him. “Don’t look so aggrieved, okay?”
Zhuang Liu patted her head. “After we’re done, let’s go watch the sunrise together.”
“Alright,” Tan Rou agreed.
After Zhuang Liu left, Tan Rou sorted out the video and sent the video of Liu Xing’s phone call. It was still a video shot with a mini monitor. The video was clear, and the voice was very clear; even Ying Xian’s voice on the other end of the phone could be heard clearly.
Tan Rou watched the video again. She had also heard what Liu Xing said at the end. She could only say that Liu Xing’s thoughts were quite naive. Zhu Sheng was indeed very powerful, but he was already old and his abilities were not as good as before. How could he compare to a young man?
The reason why Liu Xing and Zhu Sheng had succeeded a few years ago was because Tan Rou did not expect these people to make a move in the laboratory. Now that she was prepared, it would be even harder for Liu Xing and Zhu Sheng to succeed.
Tan Rou had only posted the video on a local website because foreigners couldn’t understand their language. Even if they wanted to punish Liu Xing, they would have to wait until she returned to China.
After Liu Xing hung up the phone, she ordered a meal and went to sleep after eating. Therefore, she had no idea what was going on in China.
Ying Xian was dealing with the unfavorable news about Liu Xing on the Internet when he received an unfamiliar number. He thought it was someone who came to scold Liu Xing again. Just as he was about to scold him back, the other party scolded Ying Xian.
“You two idiots, look at what you’ve done!” Zhu Sheng scolded Ying Xian in exasperation. “It’s fine if you’re courting death, but why did you drag me into this? It’s been so many years. Can’t you let me enjoy my old age in peace?”
Ying Xian’s head was filled with question marks. Why couldn’t he understand what Zhu Sheng was saying?
“Teacher Zhu, why don’t 1 understand what you’re saying?” Ying Xian still had something to ask of Zhu Sheng, so his tone was rather friendly.
“Take a look at the trending searches yourself!” Zhu Sheng said.
Ying Xian turned on his computer to look at the trending searches. He wouldn’t know if he didn’t look at them. When he saw them, he was shocked. When he saw the trending searches, he almost fainted..
Chapter 880: 880 Unknown
....
It was a video that was posted 20 minutes ago. In just 20 minutes, the video had reached three million views, and the discussion below the video had also reached tens of thousands.
Even if Ying Xian didn’t read it, he knew how scary the comments section was. He had seen the combat power of the people in their country. Not only were they fast at typing, but they were also quick-witted. They were also very good at scolding people. Even if they didn’t use a single swear word, they could still scold people until they were autistic.
“You two idiots, I’m really going to be killed by you this time!” Zhu Sheng was still scolding him. “Where’s that stupid woman, Liu Xing? Why can’t 1 contact her?”
Ying Xian immediately switched to another phone and called Liu Xing, but Liu Xing did not pick up. He was very anxious. He could clearly get through just now. Why couldn’t he get through now? Could it be that someone had tampered with their phones?
He felt that the possibility of it was not high as his phone was always with him.
The other possibility was that the signal around them was blocked. Ying Xian could be sure that the signal around him was not blocked. Otherwise, Zhu Sheng would not have called. Since he and Zhu Sheng couldn’t reach Liu Xing’s phone, it meant that Liu Xing’s signal was blocked.
Ying Xian suddenly thought of Liu Xing’s upgrade to a suite. Why would someone upgrade her to a VIP presidential suite for no reason? Now that he thought about it, this was definitely a trap, waiting for Liu Xing to fall into.
“Idiot, idiot!” Ying Xian kept cursing Liu Xing. “This idiot. 1 told her to investigate the person who upgraded her suite, but she didn’t do it. Now that something has happened, her phone can’t be reached. She’s really useless!”
Ying Xian said nice things for a long time and transferred tens of thousands to Zhu Sheng before Zhu Sheng stopped scolding him.
“Hurry up and settle this matter.” Zhu Sheng said calmly.
Ying Xian frantically called Liu Xing, but Liu Xing did not pick up a single call. It was impossible for her to pick up because the presidential suite she was staying in had been installed with the strongest jammer. Liu Xing did not know anything about what was happening in the country.
When Liu Xing woke up, 18 hours had passed. She glanced at her phone and realized that no one had sent her a message, so she ignored it. She did not realize that she had slept for too long. She only felt that she must have been too which was why she had slept for so long.
There was still a day and a half left before the competition. Liu Xing wanted to go to the nearby scenic spots. Most of the scenic spots here had to be paid for, and the price was not cheap. In order to save money, Liu Xing found a cheap scenic spot near the hotel she was staying at to take a walk.
It was a warm time in the southern hemisphere of America. Liu Xing strolled in the garden. She saw many people secretly looking at her, and her vanity was immediately satisfied.
She smiled and waved at the people next to her. When the people next to her saw her waving, they also imitated and greeted her.
Tan Rou was looking at Liu Xing not far away. She had heard that there was a sea of lavender flowers here, so she had come to take a look. She did not expect to meet Liu Xing here. What a disappointment.
“She looks so happy. I guess she hasn’t seen the domestic news. She’ll definitely faint from anger when she sees the news from home,” Zhuang Liu said with a smile.
“1 don’t think she cares about the domestic news at all. She’s fine as long as someone flatters her.” Tan Rou mocked.
In the country, Liu Xing’s reputation had already been ruined. Merchants were unwilling to work with her, and most of her fans had left her. This was a huge blow to Liu Xing. Fortunately, there was no such thing overseas. Liu Xing only needed to participate in the assessment first.
” Beautiful lady, may 1 kiss your hand?” a good-looking foreign man asked.
“Of course!” Liu Xing replied in their language.
The feeling of being sought after was very good. Liu Xing kept changing his posture. Every person who took a photo with him, she asked them to make her look better.
“Let her be smug for a few more days.” Tan Rou couldn’t be bothered to spend time with Liu Xingdou. “When the time comes and she doesn’t pass the certification, remember to ask her for accommodation fees. The VIP presidential suite is arranged for those who pass the certification. Obviously, Liu Xing doesn’t have this ability..”
