Chapter 39: A Car Without a Plate

The afternoon class passed peacefully. Nian Yue leaned against the wall and played a few games before she felt bored. Duan Yu saw that she finally looked up and smiled helplessly.

To be honest, she thought highly of this student.

Although she was a little lazy, her character and grades were respectable.

When school was finally over, Nian Yue slowly carried her bag out of the classroom. Lin Nan had something on today so she did not send her home. She went back by herself.

The sky was painted red by the setting sun. It shone on her, making the shadows thin and long.

The sky blue school uniform was tied around her waist, and she was only wearing a white shirt.

Her sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing her slender and fair wrist. That wrist was so white that it was glowing.

There was a black car parked in front of the gate. She didn’t know how long it had been there, but it didn’t have any plates.

The car door opened and a man dressed in black alighted from the car. His handsome face had a look of indifference, but his eyes seemed to waver when he saw who it was.

Nian Yue walked over with her bag. “What’s the matter?”

This was not her first time meeting this man and she did not believe that it was a coincidence that they had met so many times.

Not to mention, her sharp anti-reconnaissance abilities told her that this man’s gaze had never left her since she appeared.

He stretched out his hand. In his fair palm lay a pale green jade.

It was the size of an egg and was glowing.

“Yours?” Fu Xiuyuan raised his brows slightly, a smile finally appearing on his devilish face.

“No.” Nian Yue’s thin lips parted slightly. Since the item had already been sold, it was naturally not hers.

“A week ago, in the Green Forest of Black Mountain…” Fu Xiuyuan said lightly, his long fingers holding onto his phone. There was a photo inside, the moment she passed through the trees.

“Heh…”

As if she had thought of something, the corners of Nian Yue’s lips curled up slightly as she chuckled. Her voice was mixed with disdain and coldness. “What do you want to ask?”

“Hold out your hand.”

Fu Xiuyuan spoke calmly and Nian Yue was a little impatient. This man was too dangerous and she did not want to interact with him.

Seeing that the man was frowning, Nian Yue reached out her hand. Her fingers were as white as jade and under the light of the setting sun, they shone with a golden glow.

Suddenly, her wrist felt cold, and a silver bracelet was already on it.

The bracelet was as thick as her pinky, making her wrist look slender and fair.

Nian Yue reached out and touched the bottom of the bracelet. There was a small mechanism. She pressed it and the bracelet opened. Nian Yue observed the structure and quickly assembled it into a small pistol.

“Thank you.” Nian Yue curled her lips. A pistol was considered prohibited here. Although she had access to it, she could not carry it with her.

This pistol could solve all her problems.

Fu Xiuyuan did not say anything else, but when his eyes glanced at her cold profile, his mood improved a little.

“I’ll take you home,” Fu Xiuyuan said and got into the car before she could reply.

Nian Yue slowly sat in the front passenger seat and told him her address.

She had a cold personality and was not a talkative person. Once she got into the car, she crossed her arms and stared blankly out of the car.

Fu Xiuyuan caught a glimpse of her jade-white side profile through the rearview mirror, and his deep eyes finally wavered.

The black car left. In a black Maybach outside the school gate, Lin Nan was sitting in the back seat. Sitting with him was an old man with a head full of silver hair. He was holding a walking stick in his hand, but his cloudy eyes were terrifyingly clear.

“That’s a car that doesn’ have a license plate.”

Old Master Lin spoke quietly, his gaze following the black car as it disappeared around the corner.

Jiang City had its own management system and everything had its own rules.

It was the first time he had seen someone who could stand above all the rules and drive a car without a tag.

“Nan, do you know him?” Elder Lin asked.

Lin Nan looked surprised as well. Then, as if he had thought of something, she said, “I saw him once before at the bookstore.”

The man who had a gun in his hand and worked seamlessly with Nian Yue to kill the man in black.

“Is that girl really the Nian Family’s Second Mistress?” Elder Lin continued to ask.

“Yes. Her name is Nian Yue.”

He had feared that Nian Yue would be in trouble, so he specially called Elder Lin over. Principal Wang was indebted to Elder Lin so he would definitely do him a favor.

However, he was a step too late. Nian Yue had already settled this matter herself.

“You’re very lucky,” Elder Lin said. “If you build a good relationship with her, you won’t lose out.”

“I know, Grandpa.” Lin Nan nodded.

“It’s rare to see you so obedient.” Elder Lin smiled.

Lin Nan was the most troublesome one among the younger generation of the Lin family.

He often caused trouble in fights. There were a few times when he almost entered the juvenile detention center, but this time, he was unexpectedly so obedient.

“That’s because I trust her.”

At night, Nian Yue came out of the shower. She switched on her computer and sat on the chair casually. The computer screen emitted a faint blue light.

Her slender and fair fingers moved the mouse and there was only a long string of codes on the computer screen.

She pressed her finger against the mouse’s slide and slid it downward. Three minutes later, she pressed the Enter key. Several clippings had appeared on the computer screen.

The silhouette was blurry.

But judging from her figure, her sloppy attitude and the way she stuffed one hand into her pocket, who else could it be but Nian Yue herself?

Nian Yue curled her lips and a cold glint flashed past her cold eyes.

No wonder she felt like she was being watched these few days. It turned out that she was really being watched.

Her fingers flew quickly across the keyboard.

Three minutes later, the computer screen returned to the blue window interface. Nian Yue smiled. She closed the computer and lay on the bed to sleep.

At the same time

– In a laboratory thousands of kilometers away –

With a click, the previously brightly lit laboratory fell into darkness. All the computers were dead.

“What’s going on? The power went out. Where’s the emergency system?!” The man in a military uniform became solemn.

This was a place that was heavily protected, and no mistakes were allowed.

Why did the most basic mistake of a computer blackout occur?!

“General Wen, it’s not a power outage. The technicians have detected that someone has hacked into the base’s system, causing the power outage…” a technician reported.

“Hurry up and fix it!” General Wen’s face darkened.

Everything in the base had been encrypted in 64 places. Who could have hacked into the system without anyone noticing?
