Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Yang Fei’s voice gradually became softer.

Lu Zhaoying originally wanted to ask about Yang Fei, but after hearing this, his voice was stuck at the back of his throat. He opened his mouth and felt like he had hallucinated. “Sun God, what are you talking about? How could Qin Ran replace you, she…”

It was not so simple to randomly change the team member—if the starter was taken off court, only a reserve player could replace him. Without having officially registered beforehand, non-members of the team couldn’t go up at will.

“Yes, she can. The coaches have always been handing in her name,” Yi Jiming suddenly said.

The other people in the room heard this again and finally fell into silence.

There were not many people in the world—apart from Qin Ran, there were only Yi Jiming, Yang Fei, and Xiao Yu, who had just joined the team yesterday.

Xiao Yu glanced at Qin Ran and suddenly remembered the photo he had seen on the coach’s desk last night.

Her face had not been particularly clear, but it felt a little familiar and was a little colder and more arrogant than in the picture.

He immediately figured out that this was the person who had taken Sun God’s center position.

Lu Zhaoying had never truly felt like he had been struck by lightning. Even when he knew that Qin Ran and Gu Xichi knew each other, he had not been as shocked. His mind buzzed and it felt like ten thousand bees were flying around in his mind at once.

He stared at Qin Ran. What kind of joke was this world playing…

He must be crazy. Qin Ran was a member of Team OST?

“Mu,” Lu Zhaoying muttered, turning his face blankly and looking at Cheng Mu. “I just… did I hear something?”

“I think he said…” Cheng Mu also sobered up and looked at Lu Zhaoying with difficulty. “Miss Qin is a member of Team OST.”

“Oh.” Lu Zhaoying nodded. His brain had already lost the ability to command, and it felt like thunder had burst out of his head.

He had long known that Yang Fei knew Qin Ran and they were pretty close.

Yang Fei had even added him on account of Qin Ran.

But Lu Zhaoying really thought they had known each other through the game since Qin Ran played the auxiliary cards really well.

He thought that Yang Fei had taken an interest in her potential.

But what did Yang Fei and Yi Jiming just say?

Qin Ran was a member of OST?

What kind of fantasy story was this?! Since when did OST have an additional member?! What position did she have inside?!

Lu Zhaoying felt like because he had laughed at Jiang Dongye before and concealed stuff from him while watching the show happily from the sidelines, God must have been angry and so arranged this matter. “Master Juan.”

He looked at Cheng Juan and called faintly.

Cheng Juan was calmer than the others. He ignored Lu Zhaoying and only narrowed his eyes at Qin Ran, deep in thought.

Qin Ran did not speak nor reply to Yang Fei. She lowered her head and gave Gu Xichi a call.

“I have a friend here,” Qin Ran glanced at Yang Fei and said quickly. Her voice was undulated and no hint of emotion could be detected. “He got drugged by someone and might experience some sequelae if he goes to the hospital. We need to send him over to you.”

Gu Xichi held his phone and printed up some printed documents with his hands. He nodded and replied, “Okay, but I cannot stop researching. I cannot pick him up, so you must get someone to send him over.”

Jiang Dongye had nothing to do in the laboratory as Gu Xichi did not let him touch anything.

Hearing this, Jiang Dongye, who had been watching the cell activity warmly, leaped up with high energy. “Brother Gu, how could you handle such a small thing personally? I will go!”

He reached out and took the phone in Gu Xichi’s hand. “Miss Qin, are you in the gym?… Okay, wait for me, I’ll be there in forty minutes.”

Then, he threw the phone back to Gu Xichi, picked up the coat hanging next to it, and walked to the door. “I will probably be back in an hour and a half.”

Gu Xichi didn’t even have time to speak before Jiang Dongye bolted out.

**

After calling Gu Xichi, Qin Ran asked Cheng Juan about Yang Fei again.

“It’s too inconvenient to send him to the hospital. The person who drugged him must hate him.” Yang Fei’s symptoms were fairly obvious. Generally, because of the stimulation of drugs, the cell carrier’s ability to receive calls might be affected, so there would be considerable problems if he was sent to the hospital. Cheng Juan glanced over and knew that Yang Fei was under a high level of physical stress. “But Gu Xichi should be no problem.”

He was a talent that specialized in cellular viruses in the medical organization and had absorbed experience and knowledge from countless professors, so he must be able to cure this.

Otherwise, Cheng Juan might send Gu Xichi back to the old man in the medical organization.

“That’s good.” Qin Ran sighed in relief and then looked at the two doctors next to Yang Fei. “Thank you, we would like to speak in private now.”

The two doctors were team doctors of OST. Hearing Qin Ran, they glanced over at Yang Fei hesitantly.

Yang Fei nodded at them.

The two doctors went out.

“Tell me, what the hell is going on?” Qin Ran sat down on the stool that Cheng Juan kicked over for her and asked Yang Fei.

Yang Fei frowned. “I don’t know. I was still well in the morning, but my hands started feeling numb in the afternoon. I thought it was because I trained too much last night, but my hands became more and more numb until my whole body responded numbly as well. I thought it was because something had gone wrong in my body.”

He wouldn’t have known that he was drugged if it were not for Cheng Juan’s explanation.

“Do you suspect anyone?” Qin Ran leaned back on her chair and squinted. “Someone from WAT? Or someone within your team?”

She remembered the unprofessional players who had played that night.

Xiao Yu heard this and immediately raised a hand weakly. “Erm, there is one player called Yan. The coach asked me to replace him temporarily as a starting member. Last night, the way he looked at me and Sun God was really frightening.”

He thought about it and shuddered.

Yang Fei did not speak.

Qin Ran nodded and said lightly, “We will dispose of him after the competition.”

There was a knock on the door.

This was a separate lounge opened by the Yunguang Consortium for Yang Fei to use during competitions.

The space was limited.

The coach came in with a sullen expression and was stunned to see the group of people in the lounge. Cheng Juan leaned against the wall beside Qin Ran, and even though he was quiet, his stance was strong.

It was the same for Qin Ran.

The coach turned his attention to Qin Ran and paused again.

He had seen Qin Ran when Yang Fei went to the school to give her a ticket. At that time, he had guessed Qin Ran’s identity.

Seeing Qin Ran here at this time, he glanced at Yang Fei again and his worried heart calmed a little.

He remembered that there had always been one more name on the list when he handed it in. He had not understood it before, but now, his anxious heart suddenly settled down.

“Coach, are you looking for Yan?” Yang Fei looked at the coach.

The coach withdrew his gaze from Qin Ran. “No, I came to ask you about your situation. I just asked the two doctors and they said you have to go to the hospital. I wanted to tell you and then let Yan play.”

Instead of answering, Yang Fei turned towards Qin Ran. “God Qin, replace me. Yan… he’s a ticking time bomb.”

Yang Fei did not trust him.

Cheng Juan’s phone rang. It was from Jiang Dongye, so he picked up immediately. “You’re here? Ok, we will come out immediately.”

Cheng Juan stood up after saying a few words to Jiang Dongye. He was still wearing a long black trench coat today and it was unbuttoned, making his lazy appearance look inexplicably cold.

He glanced at Qin Ran. “Find someone to send him out. Jiang Dongye’s car is waiting at the exit. The license plate ends with 686.”

Yang Fei was able to stand up, so he left after putting on a mask and a cap.

“Where are you going?” The coach saw Yang Fei standing up and reached out to support him.

“A friend of God Qin’s is helping to inspect me.” Yang Fei put on his mask and glanced at Xiao Yu. “Xiao Yu, send me out. Help me arrange the coach’s matters.”

The coach turned solemn after hearing it was Qin Ran’s friend, but he did not say anything.

He had come in after the previous coach left and did not know the former players, but as the coach, he knew of Qin Ran’s existence and also knew her identity.

He and Xiao Yu sent Yang Fei out.

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan stayed in the lounge.

Cheng Juan changed his posture and leaned on the table to the left of Qin Ran. He lowered his head and raised an eyebrow in amusement. “God Qin? Since when were you in the team?”

His voice was low and he smirked slightly.

Qin Ran seemed deep in thought and returned to her senses after hearing Cheng Juan. She paused for a moment and only coughed, not daring to look at Cheng Juan. “You… you will know soon…”

He would know when she had joined the team soon.

Hearing this, Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes.

The coach returned with Xiao Yu after sending Yang Fei off.

At 8:20, the first game had already started selecting their cards. After they finished, there was a ten-minute break at the interim, and then it was time for OST to go onstage.

Everyone in the lounge, including Lu Zhaoying, had yet to recover.

Other than Cheng Juan, nobody dared to speak.

Almost everyone was looking at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran held her chin in one hand and thought about it for a long while before looking up at the coach. “Erm, do you have my uniform?”
