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.”
Xie Ying saw that Cheng Ling was absent-minded after sitting down. She didn’t take the initiative to speak, her eyes were not focusing, and her fingers were subconsciously scratching.
“Ling Ling, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? Why do you seem to be in a bad mood?”
Cheng Ling bit her lip. She was unable to lie to Xie Ying all this while.
“Grandma, I might have some news about my biological parents.”
“Ah?” Xie Ying even suspected that she had heard wrongly. “What did you say?”
“Yesterday, I got a photo from the Lu family’s second young master. If I’m not wrong, the persons in the photo are very likely to be my biological parents.”
“But why is your parents’ photo with the second young master of the Lu family?”
Cheng Ling shook her head. After all, this involved the poisoning of Lu Qi. She would not reveal this matter without Lu Qi’s consent.
Fortunately, Xie Ying did not dwell on the issue.
“Is there any other news? Can you find your parents?”
Cheng Ling shook her head. “Not yet, but I asked my friends for help this morning. If there’s any news, I might have to ask the school for leave to look for them.”
Although the man and woman in the dreams always ended up in a pool of blood, Cheng Ling still had to find their graves.
She couldn’t be ignorant of how she came to this world.
Xie Ying also knew that Cheng Ling had been thinking about her biological parents all these years. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked and cared so much about them.
She nodded. “Of course, you have to find your biological parents.”
Seeing that Xie Ying was so supportive of her, Cheng Ling held Xie Ying’s hand and said. “Don’t worry, I still love you the most. I just want to find out what happened back then. Why did they give birth to me and abandon me?”
Xie Ying patted Cheng Ling’s hand and said, “I know. Don’t I know you well? Grandma trusts you.”
However, Cheng Ling waited for a month for the news from Ah K.
As this USB drive was from many years ago, to find the information, Ah K went to other cities to see some of his friends to study it together.
During this time, Cheng Ling could only continue with her class and help Lu Qi with his treatment.
