How could Lu Ci possibly believe that?
That's impossible.
He had called Ni An at the banquet, but it wasn't Jiang Nian's voice at all.
Also, Ni An won the world hacker competition eight years ago. How old is Jiang Niancai? He's seventeen, just like Ni Ancai.
How could Jiang Nian be the one hiding the case?
Is it possible for someone to win a world hacking competition at the age of nine?
Thinking this to himself, Lu Ci swallowed hard, his whole body still trembling slightly.
Regardless, I should still confirm with my uncle to see if there's any misunderstanding.
So he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Qin Tian.
Uncle, where are you now?
Are you having dinner with Annie?
After sending the message, Lu Ci took a deep breath and stared intently at Qin Tian's actions at the dining table.
Like awaiting a verdict, the answer seems imminent.
Qin Tian saw his phone vibrate on the desktop, opened it, and glanced at WeChat.
He frowned.
Where did Lu Ci get this information from?
He didn't even tell his secretary about inviting An to dinner.
I replied to the message.
How did you know?
Who told you I was having dinner with Ni An tonight?
Upon seeing this reply, Lu Ci was so stunned that he was completely numb while holding his phone, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.
"What's wrong, President Qin?" Jiang Nian asked when she saw Qin Tian frowning.
Qin Tian put his phone away: "It's nothing."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's my nephew, Lu Ci, who's in your class. He's a huge fan of yours. Ever since he found out I've met you, he's been coming to me every day to ask about you."
"But don't worry, you don't want others to know your identity. Even if it's Lu Ci, I won't reveal it to him."
"oh."
Jiang Nian's expression remained unchanged as she took a sip of tea.
Lu Ci genuinely didn't know. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to send her the photos.
After exchanging technical questions, Qin Tian had asked all the questions he needed to, and his admiration for the girl in front of him grew even stronger.
After paying the bill, Qin Tian said to Jiang Nian, "An old acquaintance of mine happened to be having dinner at this restaurant today and asked me to chat after the meal. I'll have the driver take you back to school first, okay?"
Jiang Nian stood up, not caring about such trivial matters of etiquette: "It's alright, President Qin, you go ahead with your work. It's not far from the school, I can just walk back and digest my food."
Seeing this, Qin Tian didn't insist any further.
It was almost nine o'clock when we finished eating. This area, which gathers all kinds of famous restaurants, was still very lively.
Traffic was heavy, people were coming and going on the streets, and neon lights flickered in the night, reflecting the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Jiang Nian had only taken a few steps when she suddenly heard a voice calling her from behind.
"—Hidden case?"
I paused instinctively.
Turn around.
The result was that he met Lu Ci, who looked shocked and incredulous.
Lu Ci's hair was slightly disheveled, and he wore a black T-shirt and casual shorts with a silver chain around his neck, giving him a carefree and dashing look.
A gleam appeared in her amber eyes, and her lips trembled slightly: "It really is you, you really are Ni An..."
Jiang Nian never expected Lu Ci to suddenly appear here.
He even called her by the name Ni'an.
Did he find out who he was?
She frowned slightly as she looked at Lu Ci: "What are you doing here?"
"I……"
Jiang Nian did not deny what she had just said.
This means she has already acknowledged her identity.
Lu Ci's face flushed red almost instantly.
She strode over quickly. The boy, a head taller than the girl, stood awkwardly in front of Jiang Nian, unable to speak properly.
"I am like this..."
“Jiang Nian, no, Ni An, I am Lu Ci, but I am also Hua Kai Fu Gui.”
"Do you remember the 'Flowers Bloom, Wealth Arrives' omen? It's..."
Jiang Nian remained calm: "I know you are destined for wealth and prosperity."
Lu Ci was interrupted and immediately froze: "...You know?"
Jiang Nian glanced at him: "Didn't you send me your photo before in class?"
Lu Ci's hand trembled, and he suddenly remembered this matter.
So, at that time, he was squatting in the corridor outside the classroom, pretending to accidentally send the wrong photo to An.
Jiang Nian was sitting in the classroom when she saw his photo and learned who he was.
This is so embarrassing!!
Lu Ci's face turned even redder, even the roots of his ears turned red.
But she couldn't help but start talking to Jiang Nian.
"I... I didn't know you were Annie before. I started learning hacking because of Annie, and I joined the Dark Alliance for Annie's sake..."
It seemed like they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and they couldn't help but start talking about these things in detail.
"I know."
Jiang Nian glanced at Lu Ci.
"You're really amazing too, you've honed your skills to this level in just two years."
If she has such influence that she can attract young talents like Lu Ci to join the hacker community and serve the country, it would be an honor for her.
He was actually praised by his idol in person.
The more indifferent the girl in front of him was, the better.
Lu Ci's heart began to pound even harder.
It seems that I can no longer see the people coming and going around me, and I can no longer hear the noise.
Under the streetlights, the only person I could see, hear, and care about was the person in front of me.
This was the first time he had ever experienced such a feeling, with his heart pounding and his body trembling.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to school now," Jiang Nian said.
Then she remembered what had happened before, "Thank you for calling me at the HHA gathering to clarify things, and for helping me find someone afterwards."
