"The day I went to Shengyuan Hotel to find you," Gu Yuluo’s eyes deepened with resentment.
That day, had she consulted a divination for Gu Yuluo?
Gu Zhiqi carefully recalled, but really couldn’t remember.
Gu Zhiqi even began to doubt whether her memory was failing.
"Did I even interact with you that day?"
Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s question, Gu Yuluo almost lost her composure.
I mean, remember is just remembering, no need to stab my heart, right?!
"Not to interrupt, both of you, but could you please let go of me first?" Pressed to the ground by Gu Yuluo, and every movement painful, Y finally spoke up weakly and helplessly.
Hearing this, Gu Yuluo then realized that she was still kneeling on someone.
She quickly let the person go and stood up, looking at Y with a sincere yet slightly awkward expression, "Sorry."
Upon being released by Gu Yuluo, Y swiftly got up, recoiled back sharply, and distanced herself from Gu Yuluo, "It’s, it’s okay."
"I figured it out from the web, you were at Shengyuan Hotel, you were the one who told me." Gu Yuluo’s childish face was calm, but her eyes filled with deeper resentment, almost spillingly eerie.
Having heard this, Gu Zhiqi finally realized that Gu Yuluo was referring to an online interaction, not a real one.
On the web, she indeed gave someone her hotel room number.
However, it wasn’t Gu Yuluo; it was...
Shit! Did I just blow my own cover?!
Seeing Gu Yuluo’s reaction, Gu Zhiqi confirmed it, Gu Yuluo was Fall.
It was truly a festival of hidden identities; almost every main character had one.
She had never imagined that Gu Yuluo could be Fall.
In the novel, Fall was the second-ranked hacker on The Web’s hacker list, just behind the female protagonist, Gu Xiyue.
Won over by the female protagonist’s cyber-sci-tech skills, he accepted her as his boss and had a good relationship with her.
But now, their relationship had gotten even closer, turning into real siblings.
"Holy shit! You’re Fall?!" Feeling that Gu Zhiqi was unreliable and about to sneak away, Y overhearing Gu Zhiqi, suddenly stopped in his tracks, then darted toward Gu Yuluo.
"Are you the Fall, the Web’s administrator, ranked third on the hacker leaderboard?" Y, his face half-covered in dust, looked excitedly at Fall, so excited that his spittle nearly flew onto Gu Yuluo’s face.
I’m actually fourth now, thank you.
Stepping back two paces, he curved a cool, detached smile on his lips, "No."
Upon hearing this, the excitement in Y’s eyes extinguished like a flame doused by a bucket of cold water.
"Ah, not?" Y raised a hand, scratching his head, looking somewhat dejected as he mumbled, "Right, you don’t just stumble upon a web admin."
"What are you looking for from the little maiden... oh, Master Zhezhi?" Mentioning Master Zhezhi, Gu Yuluo looked meaningfully at Gu Zhiqi while emphasizing the words "Master Zhezhi."
For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.
Initially, he had come to seek Master Zhezhi’s help, but upon seeing her in person, he suddenly wanted to run away.
This little maiden, is she even of age?
Can she really save him?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
However, he certainly could not say this outright, so Y hesitated, looking at Gu Zhiqi, then stammeredly spoke, "Ah, well... that, little sister, no, Master Zhezhi, I..."
Before Y could finish speaking, Gu Zhiqi interrupted him.
Gu Zhiqi, finally snapping back from the shock of learning that Fall was Gu Yuluo, said so to Y.
"Eh? What? What five million?" Y responded bewilderedly.
