226 Brilliance and Assassin
Everyone in the hall heard Director Guo's words.
The entire hall was in an uproar.
"Ding Ling and Jian Qingli are in luck!"
"Ding Ling and Jian Qingli's greatest luck is that they were neighbors with Li Chengqian. If Li Chengqian and I were neighbors, I might be the one to win the medal this time," many people said sourly.
"It's a waste to give this award to Ding Ling. She doesn't need it at all. She should give it to me." Ding Ling and Zhao Peng were in Li Chengqian's team for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. They had won the championship and thus had already obtained direct admission to Divine Dragon University.
The award given to Ding Ling would add 10 points to the university entrance examination. It was very useful.
However, Ding Ling didn't need these 10 points at all.
"Jealousy is eating me up alive!"
"If only my neighbor was Li Chengqian."
"If only my boyfriend was Li Chengqian."
Below the stage, Ding Ling and Jian Qingli smiled in surprise when they heard Director Guo mention their names.
Especially Jian Qingli. When she heard her name, she was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears.
While 10 points was useless to Ding Ling, it was very useful to her.
With these 10 points, although she couldn't get into Divine Dragon University, which was the best university, she could get into other universities in Dragon City.
She knew that Li Chengqian would definitely study in Dragon City, so she had to go to Dragon City too.
She was afraid that if she didn't tag along, Li Chengqian would soon forget her.
Moreover, through Director Guo's words just now, she also got another message. It was Li Chengqian who actively fought for her and Ding Ling to receive this award.
This meant that she had a place in Li Chengqian's heart.
To her, this was the greatest affirmation.
"Would Ding Ling and Jian Qingli please come on stage to receive the award," Director Guo said with a smile.
"Ding Ling, go and receive the award."
"Jian Qingli, go up quickly. The leaders are waiting for you on the stage."
Under the envious gazes of the students, Ding Ling and Jian Qingli stood up. Under the guidance of the teacher, they walked up to the stage excitedly.
Li Chengqian had already stood in place to receive the award.
When he saw the two of them walking up, he smiled and waved at them to come to his side.
"Thank you for your contribution to Tianyi City!"
"However, I hope that you won't put yourself in danger in the future… Because your brains and knowledge are more important than anything else. Your existence is very important to the country." Director Guo handed the medal and certificate to Li Chengqian solemnly.
"Director Guo, thank you!" Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, not saying anything else.
Beside Li Chengqian, the highest ranking official of Tianyi City, Shu Wen, presented Ding Ling with the award. "Women are not inferior to men. You're a brave and outstanding child. I heard that you've already obtained the admission notice to Divine Dragon University. Congratulations. I hope you can achieve greater things in the future."
Ding Ling was very embarrassed by Shu Wen's praise.
She had never been praised like this before, especially when it came from Shu Wen, it felt especially meaningful.
Everyone who knew Ding Ling looked at her enviously.
On the other side, Chief Zhao presented the award to Jian Qingli. "Jian Qingli, congratulations! You're very outstanding! You're also very brave. I hope you will stay brave, strong and fearless."
After Li Chengqian and the other two received the medal, they turned to face everyone below the stage.
Under the sunlight, the three of them looked extremely dazzling.
Especially Li Chengqian. Between Ding Ling and Jian Qingli, he had a confident smile on his face. He looked confident and handsome, and he was extraordinarily attractive.
"If only it was me on stage!"
"I'm so envious!"
"I'm so envious I can die!"
"Li Chengqian is so handsome. If only he would take a fancy to me."
"Did you guys notice? Li Chengqian looks ordinary at first glance, but when you look carefully, the more you look at him, the more attractive he becomes."
"What a waste! Li Chengqian and Ding Ling have already been specially recruited by Divine Dragon University. They don't need to take the university entrance examination at all, nor do they need any marks. This award is wasted on them! What a pity!"
"Li Chengqian is already so wealthy. He's already completely financially independent! This award is useless to him. This award would be very useful to me." Many students stared at Li Chengqian's Medal of Courage with envy.
Everyone looked at the three of them enviously, wishing they could rush up and replace them.
"Alright, the award ceremony is over. Please return to your seats."
Ding Ling and Jian Qingli took the medals and left the stage. They took their seats under everyone's envious gaze.
On stage, Li Chengqian also returned to his seat.
"Director Guo, please deliver your speech…" The host turned to Director Guo.
…
Meanwhile, a beautiful woman appeared at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company with a disheveled expression.
Zhang Tianling looked at the logo of the Divine Dragon Software Company and gritted her teeth.
"Li Chengqian, you bastard! You devil, a fellow with a heart as black as ink." Zhang Tianling's eyes were filled with grievance, helplessness, and intense hatred.
She stole the fake brainwave coding technology from the Divine Dragon Software Company and sold it to Windows, Apple, and Google.
The three companies' hidden servers were found and controlled by Li Chengqian.
The three companies were in deep trouble because of this.
All the data in the servers of the three companies were wiped out and all the assets of the companies were transferred out.
This caused hundreds of billions of losses to the three companies.
Because of this incident, the three companies hated Zhang Tianling to the core. They immediately put her on the wanted list on the dark web. They wanted to capture her and kill her to vent their anger.
Originally, Zhang Tianling was still fantasizing that after receiving the commission, she would retire from being a commercial spy.
In the future, she would live like a normal person. She would find a partner and travel to all the beautiful places in the world.
However, the data of the three companies was wiped out and their assets were transferred out.
Zhang Tianling's bank account was frozen.
If not for the warning message that suddenly appeared on her phone, she might have been killed by Satia already.
Actually, Zhang Tianling knew that the person who reminded her was Li Chengqian!
Therefore, she sent a distress message.
However, she didn't receive any response.
Zhang Tianling had no choice but to go into hiding and lie low, but for some reason, her whereabouts was leaked.
As such, Zhang Tianling began her life as a fugitive. She went from Sunset Empire to the West Province, but she had only landed for an hour when assassins came hot on her heels.
She then went to the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent, and the Eastern Continent!
However, no matter where she ran, the assassins would quickly be right behind her, trying to capture her.
During this period of time, Zhang Tianling had been hiding everywhere and almost lost her life many times.
In the end, she chose to come to the Divine Dragon Country!
However, even when she reached the Divine Dragon Country, the assassins from the Hydra group, a team of mercenaries that had been relentlessly pursuing her, had also entered the Divine Dragon Country.
The Hydra assassins were horrendously good at tracking her down.
She had switched to many different vehicles and hadn't slept for days and nights, and yet she still hadn't managed to shake the Hydra assassins off.
As Zhang Tianling was standing at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company, there was a stony faced, odious and stealthy man nearby who was quietly closing in on her.
"As expected, the people from the three companies guessed correctly. You're indeed with Divine Dragon Software!" A cold glint flashed across the skilled man's eyes. His expression was cold and menacing.
As he spoke, he pointed a stick of cigarette in Zhang Tianling's direction and pressed it gently.
A needle as thin as a strand of hair flew out of the cigarette and pierced into Zhang Tianling's body.
When Zhang Tianling heard the man's voice behind her, she jumped like a frightened rabbit and ran forward into the Divine Dragon Software Company building.
Then, she felt a slight pain in her back. A numb and warm sensation spread from the spot. In less than a second, this feeling spread throughout her body.
The strength in Zhang Tianling's body was instantly sucked out. The world started spinning, and her vision became blurry.
Zhang Tianling lost consciousness with deep despair.
The stealthy man walked over skillfully and supported Zhang Tianling. His eyes were filled with extreme smugness and… a look that all men understood.
"She's indeed exquisite… I'll have to work hard tonight!" The man held Zhang Tianling as if they were an intimate couple as he walked towards the roadside.
A car was already waiting by the roadside. The driver was also a Hydra member. His skin was dark, and his eyes were burning as he looked at Zhang Tianling, who was being supported by the stealthy man. "We are going to have a wonderful night."
Just then, an ordinary looking car pulled up by the roadside.
After the car door opened, a tired looking Li Chengqian got out of the car.
The award ceremony lasted for a full three hours!
Time crawled during these three hours. This was the reason why he didn't want to participate in the award ceremony in the first place.
After the award ceremony ended, Director Guo dragged Li Chengqian along to talk to him and to introduce him to many people.
He left in the morning and it was already 11pm by the time he arrived at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company.
After Li Chengqian got out of the car, he saw the stealthy man supporting Zhang Tianling as they walked past…
Upon seeing Li Chengqian, the man's expression didn't change, but he was nervous in his heart. He was too familiar with Li Chengqian's face. It was all over the dark web.
An anonymous user offered a bounty of one billion yuan on Li Chengqian's head.
When the Hydra member in the car saw Li Chengqian, he immediately recognized him.
His expression didn't change. His right hand, which was originally on the steering wheel, touched his crotch.
His eyes seemed to be looking around, but his peripheral vision was fixed in the direction of Li Chengqian.
He kept gesturing with his left hand, he looked like he was dancing to the music in the car, but in fact, he was sending a message to the stealthy man.
"What shall we do? Shall we kill this yellow monkey?"
