Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered - Chapter 606

Chapter 606: Web Comic Volume (6): A Masterpiece

Pinnacle Studios was the most famous animation company in China.

Editor Shen was the editor of the comics department of Pinnacle Studios. Several comics authors were under his name. A few years ago, an author under him called Magic Lamp created the masterpiece titled Celestial Wolf.

Celestial Wolf was only published for a year, but the sales of the physical comics exceeded 3 million.

It was an elite of the comics world.

Many more were serialized online updates.

At that time, IP wasn’t as popular, so many film companies came to inquire about the film and television copyright of this comic.

However, after the first part of Celestial Wolf was released, no one in the company could contact the author anymore. The second part didn’t appear for a long time, and the enthusiasm didn’t last.

Those who inquired about the copyright issues also disappeared.

Domestic comics were flourishing. At that time, Celestial Wolf was a viral hit. But now, all interest was lost.

Furthermore, Pinnacle Studios had many impressive authors.

Editor Shen became popular in Pinnacle Studios because of Magic Lamp. Every year, newcomers in Pinnacle Studios were nominated, and Editor Shen would always register Magic Lamp’s map for four consecutive years. The other editors around him had already been promoted, but he was still in his original position as a small editor in the office.

Editor Shen took out his phone and looked at Magic Lamp’s profile on Weibo. After a long time, he said, “I’ll wait.”

Seeing him like this, a woman stood up. She knew that Editor Shen wasn’t only an editor but also a fan of Magic Lamp. She shook her head. “Sure, you can continue to wait.”

She opened the door and walked out.

Editor Shen continued to look at his phone in his office.

He opened WeChat and sent a private message.

[Magic Lamp, are you back?]

Four years had passed, and he asked this question every year.

…

The Qin family house in Beijing.

Today, Qin Hanqiu and Qin Xiuchen were at home.

Qin Hanqiu was in the kitchen discussing what to eat with the chef. He didn’t let other people go in and mess things up but especially liked Cheng Juan’s help. “Xiao Cheng, come in and help me. The rest can’t do it.”

Cheng Juan took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly, and glanced at Qin Ran. “You can talk to Uncle, and I’ll go in and help?”

“Ok.” Qin Ran sat on the sofa and answered slowly.

Cheng Juan went in to help Qin Hanqiu with the food.

Qin Xiuchen put down the script in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Qin Ran. “Xiao Ling wants you to remember to film with him.”

“I know.” Qin Ran nodded.

“Do you feel bored these days?” Seeing her like this, Qin Xiuchen couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. “I heard that Aunt Li restricts your computer time. Do you want to go to Shanghai?”

“Shanghai?” Qin Ran looked at Cheng Juan.

“Yan Xi’s third variety show episode will be in Shanghai. You can ask Third Young Master Cheng to look for him there.” Qin Xiuchen leaned back.

He remembered that Qin Ran’s wedding photos all disappeared in the night after they were leaked on the internet.

Qin Ran’s current status was extraordinary, and many people were watching her.

Qin Xiuchen probably guessed what Cheng Huo was doing and felt that it was related to Cheng Huo.

Qin Ran picked up her teacup and drank slowly. “It depends on the situation. When Mu Nan is done with his college entrance examination, I want to take him to Continent M.”

“Sure.” Qin Xiuchen nodded and continued to look at his script.

Cheng Mu strolled in the Qin family’s living room and noticed the script in Qin Xiuchen’s hands. “The Realm of Gods?”

“Do you know about this?” Qin Xiuchen flipped to the next page and looked at him curiously.

“I’ve been reading comics recently. ‘The Realm of Gods’ is the hottest comic book right now. Is it going to become a movie?” Cheng Mu asked him.

“I’m still thinking about it. The director might not choose me when filming starts,” Qin Xiuchen said faintly. “However, the author ‘Don’t Ask The Heavens’ is amazing.”

He was a comic book master who had been famous for ten years in China. “The Realm of Gods” had been translated into various languages and spread like wildfire all over the world.

As the two talked, Qin Ran played a game on her phone without lifting her head.

Cheng Mu had also heard about this recently. When he heard about Qin Xiuchen talk about comics, he quickly said, “Do you all read comics? Let me introduce you to the comic ‘Celestial Wolf’. Even though it’s short, it’s very good. Sadly, the second part has never been released.”

Not far away, the manager who brought over two cups of tea heard their conversation and glanced at Cheng Mu with a smile. “Are you talking about ‘Celestial Wolf’? You might not have paid attention to the comics world before. At that time, the works by Celestial Wolf were extremely popular. ‘The Realm of Gods’ cannot compare to ‘Celestial Wolf.’ Unfortunately… no one knows how to contact Magic Lamp.”

Speaking of this, the manager gritted his teeth.

“What’s wrong?” Cheng Mu looked at him.

The manager looked up and smiled elegantly as he said in a light tone, “I want to send him a blade.”

Qin Xiuchen explained, “He’s a die-hard fan of Magic Lamp and has three special signed editions.”

On the sofa, the quiet Qin Ran raised her eyebrow.

…

On June 8th, Mu Nan finished the college entrance examination.

On June 9th, Ning Wei invited Cheng Juan, Qin Ran, Song Luting, and the others to dinner.

Song Luting was very busy now. After eating dinner, he had to rush back to the laboratory. The group wasn’t worried about Mu Nan’s college entrance examination results at all.

“How was the difficulty of the college entrance examination?” Cheng Juan reached out to peel a prawn for Qin Ran and asked Mu Nan.

Mu Nan thought about it before replying, “It was a little difficult, especially geography.”

Cheng Juan knew that the college entrance examination questions were definitely difficult this year. “Can you get full marks for physics?”

“If you can’t, then you won last year’s gold medal for nothing,” Song Luting said lightly.

Qin Ran crossed her legs and glanced at Mu Nan. “I’ve read the questions yesterday. His total score should be 730 or higher.”

“A conservative estimate.” Mu Nan nodded. “Around there.”

Bam—

At the end of the table, Cheng Mu couldn’t eat anymore.

Listen to this maddening conversation.

After eating, Song Luting returned to the laboratory after learning about Mu Nan’s results.

Ning Wei was busy in the kitchen.

Someone knocked on the door outside.

The noise was quite loud.

Cheng Juan looked out and raised his eyebrow.

Mu Nan raised his eyebrow. “I will go out for a while.”

Qin Ran helped Qin Ling record a video while Cheng Juan stared outside thoughtfully.

Outside, the same men in black were seen. The old man looked at Mu Nan sternly. “Young Master Mu Nan, I hope you can go back with me. Your grandpa is critically ill and wants to see you.”

Mu Nan glanced at him indifferently. “My grandpa died a long time ago.”

After that, he slammed the door shut.

The people outside continued to knock on the door.

After closing the door, his face returned to his usual indifferent expression.

Cheng Mu, Cheng Juan, and Qin Ran had sensitive ears.

They heard the conversation between the two of them.

Cheng Juan looked at Qin Ran, pulled her over, and politely said, “Little Aunt, we’ll be going off first.”

Ning Wei was standing by the kitchen door and holding a towel. She glanced at Mu Nan, Qin Ran, and Cheng Juan before putting the towel on the table. After a long time, she said, “Be careful on the way back.”

Ning Wei never liked to cause trouble for other people.

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan didn’t say anything more.

The two of them returned to Ting Lan. Before Qin Ran looked for Chang Ning and the others, Cheng Shui received an encrypted file.

“This is my Little Aunt’s business.” Cheng Juan handed the file to her. “It’s a little complicated. Do you want to take a look?”

Qin Ran thought of the bodyguards she saw at the school gate the previous time and opened it to take a look.

She had investigated some things about Ning Wei before. At the start, there were still some people troubling Ning Wei, but Qin Ran only found that she was doing chemistry research for an organization.

She didn’t know that there were some questions regarding Mu Nan’s background.

“Shanghai, Mu family…” Qin Ran squinted slightly after reading it.

Cheng Mu also leaned over to take a look.

After reading it, she was silent for a while.

No wonder he felt that Ning Wei was strange when he was in Yun Cheng. She was as strange as Chen Shulan, and it seemed that he was right.

“I’ve only heard of two major families in Shanghai: The Mo family and the Liu family. As for the Mu family…” Cheng Mu shook his head. “I’ve never heard of them before.”

“Master Juan, the person from the First Hospital is not really Young Master Mu’s father. It turns out that his biological father died a long time ago. His grandpa is critically ill, so he wants Young Master Mu to go back and inherit the family?” Cheng Mu admired Ning Wei a little for taking care of an unrelated vegetative person for twenty years.

Cheng Juan didn’t read the information.

Hearing this, Cheng Mu probably guessed what happened. He tapped the table with his fingertips. “Xiao Nan should go to Shanghai.”

He guessed that Ning Wei would let Mu Nan pay his respects to his deceased father.

Qin Ran thought so as well.

Thinking about it, she sent a message to Yan Xi via WeChat.

[Are you still in Shanghai?]

After that, she called Ning Wei again.

…

In a hotel in the capital.

A butler dressed in black spoke to someone over the phone casually. “Yes, he just finished the college entrance examination. I’ve already said that he would agree to return to the Mu family. Rest assured that we will bring him back as soon as possible.”

June 11th.

8 am at the airport.

Butler Mu was waiting at the ticket machine. Mu Nan and the group walked over leisurely.

Butler Mu noticed that there were two others beside Mu Nan and asked indifferently, “Young Master Mu, are these two here to send you off?”
