Ah K nodded, “I see.”

He carefully studied the USB drive again.

“I remember now. This is indeed the first that was released 20 years ago. There was a version with a hiding function back then, and it was very difficult to get. I think this one of yours seems to be that version.”

“Hiding function version? What does that mean?”

“As the name suggests, there are some confidential documents that can be hidden in this USB drive.”

“You mean, there might be some hidden files in this USB drive that I haven’t discovered?”

Ah K nodded.

“That’s right. But this USB drive is from a long time ago. I need some time to crack it. Things like this are harder to crack when they are older. Just like a door lock, the older the door lock, the harder it is to crack.”

“Then contact me when you’re done.”

Ah K nodded. The light from the computer screen was projected on his face and reflected in his pupils.

Cheng Ling went home after bidding goodbye to Ah K.

When she reached home, Mi Duo was sitting in a small chair outside picking vegetables. Lu Dong was standing beside Mi Duo. The two of them were chatting about something having a good time. Cheng Ling was not in the mood to tease the two of them, so she entered the house.

Xie Ying was sitting in front of the television and eating melon seeds. Ever since Mi Duo came, Xie Ying’s life had become much more relaxed. She had also been in a happy mood.

Especially last night, she had gained face in front of everyone. No one had expected Cheng Ling to be so good at her study and to know so many important people. This had made Xie Ying instantly become the envy of everyone.

Since last night, many had called her to reminisce about old times.

These were the rich old ladies who looked down on Cheng Ling the most. Every time Xie Ying wanted to join their conversation, they always ignored her. They also always praised Cheng Xiao and stepped on Cheng Ling.

Gradually, Xie Ying had stopped hanging out with them. She didn’t expect them to take the initiative to look for her now.

Last night, she didn’t have time to talk to Cheng Ling. Now that Cheng Ling was back, Xie Ying quickly took the opportunity.

“Ling Ling, you went out early in the morning, where did you go?”

Cheng Ling held Xie Ying’s arm and sat down. “I just went out to ask a friend about something.”
