Chapter 840 - Chapter 840 Chapter 840 Shouldnt Qiao Yun Be Blamed

Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Shouldn’t Qiao Yun Be Blamed? Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Shouldn’t Qiao Yun Be Blamed? Fifteen minutes earlier.

Sitting in the car, Li Shiran asked Qiao Yun with a confused face, “Sister, what privilege do you want to use?”

Qiao Yun replied succinctly, “Wait a moment.”

Li Shiran and Li Miao really just sat there quietly waiting.

Before long, the sound of helicopter rotors filled the air.

Li Shiran curiously poked his head out the car window and saw a small helicopter gently descend onto the wide mountain path.

He exclaimed in shock, “Who is so extravagant to deploy a helicopter? How rushed are they?”

Sitting beside him, Qiao Yun slowly said, “I’m the one in a rush.”

“What?” Li Shiran turned his head in confusion, only to see Qiao Yun opening the car door and stepping out, glancing back at him with her beautiful eyes.

“???”

Qiao Yun raised her hand, pointed at herself, and calmly stated, “The extravagant one, it’s me.”

Li Shiran: “…”

So the ultra-rich was right beside me.

Li Miao, realizing belatedly, asked incredulously, “Where did this helicopter come from? Are you Lu family this influential in Yuncheng?”

Can helicopters just fly whenever?

They have to file flight plans with the authorities before they can fly.

How quickly did the permits come through? Isn’t this privilege a bit too much?

Li Shiran stroked his chin, mused profoundly, “It’s not the Lu family that’s amazing, it’s my sister.”

Li Miao thought Li Shiran was just messing with her, snorted coldly, didn’t even glance at him, and followed Qiao Yun out of the car.

Li Shiran shook his head and sighed; he was actually telling the truth.

The sudden appearance of the helicopter drew many surprised glances from those blocked at the scene, wondering who was making such a grand exit.

It wasn’t until they saw Qiao Yun board the helicopter and fly away that they realized something serious had happened.

She had flown away!

The people responsible for monitoring Qiao Yun quickly took out their phones to contact Huo Chi.

…

“What did you say?”

Huo Chi abruptly stood up from the sofa, his previously smug face turning exceptionally grim.

Even Han Luo, who had been staring at the computer screen waiting for any updates from Jiang Jing’s side, couldn’t help but throw him a sidelong glance, seeing Huo Chi’s dark expression and furrowing his brow in worry that something had gone wrong.

“Young Master, she has flown away, and we couldn’t stop her,” the person on the other end of the phone reported.

Huo Chi, with a stern face, demanded, “What do you mean she has flown away?”

The person on the other side, fearfully, said, “She left by helicopter.”

When Huo Chi heard this, his face showed extreme surprise; he had thought that by blocking the mountain path, Qiao Yun wouldn’t be able to cross, but he hadn’t expected her to take this action.

Just fly away like that?

And so quickly?

Isn’t that a bit off?

Huo Chi calmed down slightly and instructed the person on the other end, “Okay, I got it. You guys pull out and don’t let yourselves be spotted.”

“Yes.”

Huo Chi hung up the phone and massaged his temples with a headache, his face switching between clouds and sunshine.

Another failure!

Why had he been failing so much lately?

Han Luo saw Huo Chi finished the phone call, displaying a look of utter disillusionment. He paused and asked, “Second Young Master, what happened?”

Huo Chi threw his phone onto the coffee table with an expression of frustration, “What else could it be? Qiao Yun just took off in a helicopter. She’s practically the bane of Young Master’s existence! Why do we always fail with anything related to her?”

Han Luo was taken aback for a moment, quickly glanced at the time, and his expression also darkened, “She can definitely make it now!”

Huo Chi took a deep breath, forcing a smile, “What, you think you can shoot down the plane?”

This was beyond Han Luo’s expectation, yet he didn’t seem too shocked.

He felt there was something quite eerie about Qiao Yun.

Huo Chi raised his eyelids, warning Han Luo, “Even though Qiao Yun exceeded my plans, you have to manage it no matter what. This is your last chance.”

It was his last chance too.

Tianqi’s assessment scene would definitely require reallocating staff, what a great opportunity to miss.

Moreover, he didn’t have much time left, continuing to delay might mean Huo Lin would come in person.

Huo Chi didn’t want to be personally dragged back to Hong Kong, as it meant he’d be very unlucky.

Due to his actions, the family lost quite some money, he simply had to succeed this time.

Han Luo gritted his teeth and responded, “I understand, unless Qiao Yun doesn’t meddle.”

The invasive virus would initiate from Jiang Jing’s computer; with Qiao Yun at the assessment scene and her already having disrupted the cruise plan, Han Luo worried Qiao Yun might meddle again.

But, as long as she didn’t notice the situation on Jiang Jing’s side, everything would be fine.

At this point, they could only go ahead with hardened resolve.

…

As soon as the helicopter landed, Han Wang, who came to wait for Qiao Yun, quickly took her to the assessment scene, with hardly time for a few words.

Meanwhile, Li Miao and Lu Shiran headed to the venue to watch.

Upon arrival at the venue, the eagle-eyed Li Miao spotted Li Hanzhou, along with Shen Qi and Xu Fang sitting together appearing to be chatting.

Without a second thought, she excitedly bounded over, with Lu Shiran simply deciding to follow.

Li Hanzhou sat calmly on a chair, and as time passed, he couldn’t help but worry whether Qiao Yun had encountered any difficulties?

Almost without any hesitation, he wanted to go out, planning to grab his phone and contact Qiao Yun first.

It was at this moment that Li Miao came over, cheerily calling out, “Bro, when did you get here?”

Li Hanzhou slightly frowned, and asked softly, “Where’s the little one?”

Shen Qi looked around, puzzled, and asked, “Miaomiao, where is she?”

Li Miao responded with an “Oh,” and said, “Of course she went to the assessment scene. Isn’t Qiaoqiao acting as an examiner?”

“Is that so…” Shen Qi still seemed a bit disappointed, “It’s a pity not having a few words with Professor Qiao. Let’s wait until the assessment is over then.”

“Why did you arrive so late?” Li Hanzhou scrutinized Li Miao, who still appeared somewhat foolish, looking as if nothing had happened.

“Traffic jam,” she said.

Li Miao patted her chest with relief, exaggerating with, “Ah, you have no idea how dangerous it was! The car ahead of us just decided to smash into the mountain. Rocks were crumbling, and we were nearly buried. Luckily, a helicopter came and picked us up, or we would have been late.”

Li Hanzhou’s eyelids drooped slightly, contemplatively saying, “That’s quite a coincidence?”

Li Miao nodded her head, “Yeah, just that coincidental, and thankfully we were lucky.”

“Is everyone okay? Especially Qiao…” Shen Qi paused, unsure if Li Miao knew about Qiao Yun’s identity, and changed his wording, “Especially Miss Lu, she wasn’t hurt, was she?”

“No, nothing affected us.”

Li Miao looked at Shen Qi’s worried and anxious face and suddenly felt something was off.

She narrowed her eyes, suspiciously thinking, What’s going on? Qiaoqiao is supposed to be her future sister-in-law. Why is Brother Shen so worried?

Could it be…

He’s trying to steal his sister-in-law?

The more Li Miao thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case. She immediately signaled Li Hanzhou with a wink and a nudge.

Li Hanzhou didn’t notice, his handsome face was full of contemplative hues.

He never believed in coincidences.

Neither did he this time.

Li Hanzhou tapped his fingertips on his thigh, thinking about having someone check it out after Tianqi’s assessment ended.

Li Miao saw that Li Hanzhou didn’t notice her gaze, and she sighed.

Alas, the great task of maintaining the relationship between brother and sister-in-law could only be borne by her alone.

So, she glared fiercely at Shen Qi.

Shen Qi: ??? What’s wrong with him?

…

Conference room.

Everyone was seated, and Jiang Jing standing up seemed very abrupt, added to her shocked expression just now, everyone cast their puzzled looks onto her.

They felt she was too impolite, making such a fuss in front of Professor Han.

So unstable, how could she handle technology?

Moreover, if the upcoming assessment involves grouping, any small mistake could lead to total failure.

Even the girl who was originally sitting next to Jiang Jing couldn’t help but quietly shift her position.

Jiang Jing didn’t notice these disdainful glances directed at her, her heart fluctuating wildly as she stared intently at Qiao Yun, who emerged from behind Han Wang.

In such a serious and earnest situation, Qiao Yun’s face remained undisturbed as ever, as if nothing could alter her composure.

As she walked step by step, the aura about her involuntarily made people recoil slightly.

Jiang Jing was somewhat disturbed, especially when she realized that Qiao Yun hadn’t noticed her at all, making her feel even worse.

She clenched her fists secretly, taking Qiao Yun as a rival, yet this person always ignored her existence!

Qiao Yun indeed hadn’t paid much attention to Jiang Jing, as today was about serious business, and everyone present could potentially become a cornerstone for Tianqi’s future, so she had many people to focus on.

However, she did notice Jiang Jing’s hostile gaze.

She knew what was happening but didn’t mind, as Professor Qiao was always very generous.

Qiao Yun walked directly to the chairman’s seat intending to sit down.

Jiang Jing, seeing Qiao Yun’s audacious move to sit in the chairman’s seat, took the opportunity to make it difficult, “Qiao Yun, that’s very impolite of you. How can you sit there?”

Although the people around didn’t say anything upon hearing Jiang Jing’s words, they silently agreed with her.

Really, who does she think she is?

How audacious, does she think she can take the chairman’s seat?

Qiao Yun completely ignored Jiang Jing and leisurely sat down, her voice nonchalant, “Why can’t I sit here?”

Jiang Jing, due to Qiao Yun’s justified and righteous demeanor, was momentarily stunned, “The chairman’s seat is Professor Han’s spot.”

Qiao Yun nodded knowingly, then looked up to ask Han Wang, “May I sit here?”

Jiang Jing felt weird, how could Qiao Yun ask Professor Han so calmly?

Han Wang, with a cold expression, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing, knowing Han Wang’s temperament, thought he was also angry, and softly cautioned, “Qiao Yun, you better get up, or careful, your place might be canceled.”

Han Wang’s expression turned colder, surveyed Jiang Jing, and frowned, “Why do you talk so much?”

Jiang Jing was stunned.

Wait…

Have you scolded the wrong person?

Weren’t you supposed to scold Qiao Yun?

“Professor Han, I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?” Jiang Jing was filled with grievance, not understanding what she had done wrong.

However, when she noticed Han Wang’s gaze toward Qiao Yun suddenly softened, Jiang Jing’s heart immediately sounded a loud alarm.

A bad premonition rose from the bottom of her heart.

“You are wrong,” Han Wang said again, his expression quite indifferent as he turned his head and walked over to Qiao Yun’s side, facing everyone as he introduced, “Let me introduce her. This is Ms. Qiao Yun, the special invigilator for this assessment.”

Qiao Yun nodded at them, “Hello.”

Boom.

The previously quiet meeting room suddenly exploded after a moment of quiet.

The candidates looked incredulously at Qiao Yun, who sat at the head of the room, appearing utterly composed.

Huh?

Was she the mysterious examiner they had just been guessing about?

They thought it would be some important figure, but instead, it was just a young girl?

Could that be a mistake?

You’re joking, right?

At such a crucial moment, letting a young girl make decisions about their future seemed rather hasty, didn’t it?

Jiang Jing froze on the spot, her gentle eyes bulging nearly out of their sockets as she opened her mouth, shocked as if struck by lightning. After a long moment, her lips moved slightly, “She… she… she is the examiner? Are you joking?”

She stared blankly at Qiao Yun, her eyes brimming with undeniable surprise.

Han Wang’s voice tinged with displeasure, “Are you questioning Tianqi’s decision?”

Jiang Jing’s face turned pale, as she muttered, “How could this be… how could this be…!”

She had always thought Qiao Yun was also here to participate in the Tianqi assessment, and although she had witnessed Qiao Yun’s capabilities, she still harbored hope that perhaps she could surpass Qiao Yun.

But now what?

One was an examiner and the other was a candidate; the difference between them was like a chasm.

Being specially invited by Tianqi to be an examiner also indirectly proved Qiao Yun’s capabilities.

Jiang Jing couldn’t stop her body from trembling, an inexplicable panic rising within her as she suddenly found all her previous worries and efforts laughable.

She was simply no match for Qiao Yun!

Jiang Jing had grown up competing in countless competitions, but this was the first time she felt an urge to withdraw.

Standing here, she felt like a joke, her cheeks burning with humiliation as she forced herself to speak, “This assessment concerns everyone’s future; I am not comfortable entrusting it to such a person.”

Jiang Jing was greatly disturbed, on the verge of collapse, which wouldn’t normally have made her act so impulsively.

Apparently, some people shared Jiang Jing’s sentiments.

Han Wang said coldly, “Any of you who can crack the Doomsday Virus is welcome to become an examiner.”

With those words, people started to realize why the name Qiao Yun sounded familiar–it was Qiao Yun who had cracked the Doomsday Virus.

Ah…

It seemed they really didn’t have a solid basis for objection.

To be able to crack the Doomsday Virus was indeed proof of her formidable abilities.

Tianqi had acknowledged her, so what reason did they have to be uneasy?

Realizing this, everyone’s looks towards Qiao Yun inevitably carried a hint of admiration.

Such a talented individual.

So young and yet so highly valued by Tianqi, truly impressive.

Han Wang looked at Jiang Jing, “If you want to withdraw from the competition, feel free.”

Jiang Jing’s face slowly turned grim; she had prepared for three years, how could she easily give up, yet now that Qiao Yun had become the examiner, she might make things difficult for her.

With deep black eyes and a calm demeanor, Qiao Yun spoke to Jiang Jing, “Thinking of running away? I know what you’re worried about. I’m not like you.”

Jiang Jing’s expression grew even uglier, those words painfully grating, as if she were some sort of villain.
