Upon seeing Cheng Wenru’s gaze, Butler Xu couldn’t help but call her.

Cheng Wenru returned to her senses and shook her head. She originally wanted to learn from Cheng Juan and ask Butler Xu if his heart was okay.

But at the thought of Old Master Cheng, her mood was dampened again.

She looked at the heads of the family business behind her and said softly, “Butler Xu, it seems like you’re going to be busy again.”

Ever since Old Master Xu’s death, these people had avoided the Xu family and had made friends with the recently emerging Qu family.

Who knew that Qin Ran would face such an incident today.

Butler Xu sighed ruefully and responded calmly.

“Even if the Old Master is watching from above, he might not have expected this.” Butler Xu got into the car after a tiring day. He looked far into the distance and muttered, “He had always planned to pave the way for Miss Qin. Who knew that in the end, the Xu family is leaning on Miss Qin.”

Butler Xu sighed sorrowfully.

Beside him, the elder nodded. “Old Master Yang asked Miss Qin to visit the headquarters. I’ve long heard of the Yunguang Consortium’s strict management. Do you think Miss Qin is from the Yunguang Consortium...”

Besides managing the senior management of the consortium, the elder couldn’t think of why Old Master Yang would let Qin Ran inspect the headquarters.

But...

At the thought of this, he shook his head. “I must be thinking too much.”

...

Qin Ran returned to the manor and headed to the study room upstairs with Cheng Juan.

“Are they okay?” Cheng Jin didn’t go with Cheng Shui today and didn’t know what happened as he glanced at the study room.

Cheng Shui shook his head thoughtfully. When he spoke, his eyes looked complicated. “I’m afraid something happened.”

It was rare to see such a solemn Cheng Shui.

Cheng Mu and Cheng Jin both came over, and Cheng Jin put down the computer he was holding. “Something happened to the Research Institute? I’ll resolve it.”

“No.” Shaking his head, Cheng Shui’s eyes drifted away. “We just saw Miss Qin’s Godpa.”

“Miss Qin’s Godpa?” Cheng Jin nodded and eased his nerves. “Based on your reactions, he probably isn’t an ordinary person. Tell me, who is he? He can’t possibly be Giant Crocodile.”

He felt like his ability to bear the news was high enough.

Cheng Shui spoke neither lightly nor seriously, “Old Master Yang from the Yunguang Consortium.”

Cheng Jin: “...”

He blankly wiped off the water that had accidentally sprayed on the computer screen.

They were immediately silent.

Upstairs in the study room.

Qin Ran waited for Cheng Juan to interrogate her about Old Master Yang.

“Fire away.” She kicked the door.

Pulling the chair opposite Cheng Juan, she sat down casually and raised her chin coolly.

She didn’t seem to be struggling anymore.

Cheng Juan took a pen and put his hand idly on the table before looking calmly at her. “Have you contacted Little Aunt?”

Qin Ran had been prepared to tell him everything about Old Master Yang.

Who knew he’d mention Ning Wei all of a sudden?

“Not yet. I’ll go to Yun Cheng to pick her up after I finish my business with the Xu family. Little Aunt has a stubborn personality, it won’t be easy to persuade her to come to Beijing.” Qin Ran tapped her fingers on the table, already determined to fight her aunt.

The corners of Cheng Juan’s lips raised, and he looked at her. “Okay, I’ll wait for you in Beijing.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran suddenly raised her head to meet his eyes. She continued tapping her fingers on the table. “Are you staying here?”

“Well, someone must stay behind.” Cheng Juan put down the pen and stood up. He then turned to look at her with calm eyes. A smile emerged on his face when he saw Qin Ran deep in thought. Taking two steps outside, he held the armrest on both sides of her chair with his hands and leaned in slightly to bump his forehead against hers. Looking into her eyes, amusement seemed to flash in his eyes. “Go and bring Little Aunt back.”

...

She was returning to Yun Cheng.

Qin Ran had been working overtime these days to deal with the Research Institute and the Xu family’s affairs. Even with Cheng Juan’s help, she hadn’t had much rest recently.

Her relationship with Old Master Yang had been publicized within the circle. The secrets in the circle had all been exposed, and anyone higher up in the pyramid already knew of this matter.

Beijing’s pattern had moved again as a result.

The originally crumbling Cheng and Xu families not only stabilized but also had more intimate connections with Continent M. This meant that they had climbed up another level.

Qin Ran was even more in full swing.

Ming Hai’s plan was completely disrupted.

Beijing Financial Center.

In Old Master Yang’s office.

Standing in front, Ming Hai said straightforwardly, “Elder Yang, you know why I’m here, right?”

“I already told you, Qin Ran cannot be separated from the Yunguang Consortium. She holds a very important position inside.” Old Master Yang slightly pursed his lips, and the usual smile on his face faded.

Qin Ran and Lu Zhixin both played irreplaceable roles in building the Yunguang Consortium to its current glory.

“Then what if I tell you, Qin Ran isn’t only Ning’er’s offspring, but she also has the contents of Ning’er’s research at that time. Ning’er didn’t destroy the documents at all and led an empty city plan,” Ming Hai said calmly as he held a teacup.

Upon hearing this, the originally indifferent Old Master Yang suddenly paused.

He stood up with his hands on the table and looked at him, his eyes bright and clear. “Is the news true?”

“What good would it do me to tell you fake news?” Ming Hai continued smiling. “You can also check Ning’er’s offspring carefully in Yun Cheng.”

Old Master Yang sat back down on his chair and obscurely glanced at him. “If it’s true, why are you kindly telling me?”

“Old Master Yang, it’s up to you to believe it or not.” Ming Hai was in no hurry. He patted his sleeves and calmly stood up. “You can also choose not to believe me.”

Without waiting for Old Master Yang’s reply, he waved his hand. “Goodbye.”

When he left, Old Master Yang couldn’t shake off the thought. He had to admit that Ming Hai had indeed poked at his sore spot. He sat at his desk for a while before he took his phone and called his secretary. “Check Ning’er’s family in Yun Cheng thoroughly.”

Old Master Yang had his own intelligence bureau.

Within half an hour, the secretary knocked on the door and came in. “Chairman Yang, this is the document from the technical department.”

He looked a little hesitant.

“Bring it here.” Old Master Yang reached out for it. “Was there a problem with the Ning family’s information?”

“Yes, there was, but something isn’t right. You’ll understand when you look at it.” The secretary took out the documents.

Old Master Yang turned it over, and his eyes became downcast.

There weren’t many people in the Ning family, so the information only added up to two pages.

The information couldn’t be more simple.

Ning Wei

Female

Height: 168 cm

Former chemical plant worker

Ning Qing

Female

Height: 170 cm

Lin family’s Second Wife

Qin Yu

Female

Height: 167 cm

...

There was nothing more than these.

It was terrifyingly simple.

...

At the same time.

Overseas.

Slag Dragon got onto the plane, wearing worn-out shoes and sitting by the window with a computer on the small table.

He tapped the enter key and then snapped his fingers before saying into the headset. “Done.”

On the other end, Qin Ran said in a cold voice, “Thanks.”

“Small problem. I heard from Boss Ning that you know Matthew.” Slag Dragon crossed his legs, his worn-out shoes dirty and torn. The plane was full of foreigners, so he spoke Chinese indifferently. “Help me persuade him not to catch me.”

On the other end, Qin Ran was still in the research room. She handed a document to Nan Huiyao and rubbed her forehead upon hearing this. “What did you do?”

“Nothing. I only helped Giant Crocodile transfer a few gadgets.” Slag Dragon snorted. “Matthew chased me so hard but still couldn’t catch me. He doesn’t even know who I am yet. What’s the point? He even delayed my clubbing and racing.”

“Don’t be too arrogant.” Qin Ran took a cup and filled it with water.

“I’m not,” Slag Dragon said humbly, then thought of something else. “I’ve brought back the thing you wanted. I’ll give it to you when I return.”

“You’re just in time.” Qin Ran would return to Yun Cheng tomorrow. She finished drinking the water and put the cup down. “See you at Chang Ning’s.”

“Okay.” Slag Dragon hung up.

On the other end, Qin Ran checked the time. It was 6 am now. Slag Dragon wouldn’t arrive until 3 pm.

She settled down and devoted herself to the research.

At three o’clock in the afternoon.

“Ran Ran.” Nan Huiyao came over with the recorded points. “Look at the dosage. I adjusted it several times, but it was still wrong.”

Qin Ran was currently working on Plan B in cooperation with Continent M.

She also had an office now. Chu Heng, Nan Huiyao, Brother Ye, and Xing Kai were all there with Scholar Liao.

“I’m going out tomorrow. Plan B’s progression is at a critical moment.” Finishing her work, Qin Ran turned to Scholar Liao. “Scholar Liao, please take care of them.”

This Plan B wasn’t just Qin Ran’s first project after she took office, but was also the key to Nan Huiyao and Brother Ye’s climbing up the ladder.

Even the first-level researchers of the Research Institute wanted to participate in this project. Fang Zhenbo challenged Qin Ran also because he wanted this project, which proved its importance.

However, Qin Ran was just too stubborn. She had chosen the team at the beginning, and it was very difficult to change it halfway.

She couldn’t screw up now.

Scholar Liao looked down and quickly read the research conclusion Qin Ran just printed out. He waved his hand casually and nodded. “Okay.”

The others in the research room were also busy with their research and hardly had time to talk to her.

Rubbing her nose, Qin Ran took her phone to find Chang Ning.

She took a cab to Chang Ning’s place.

The taxi waited for her to get out, but before it completely stopped, she opened the door and left.

Qin Ran pulled up the mask on her face and directly walked towards 129.

Five minutes later.

In Chang Ning’s office.

Slag Dragon was two minutes earlier than her and was already talking to He Chen.

His eyes lit up when he saw Qin Ran coming in. First, he stammered a greeting, then took out something from his pocket and threw it at her. “Here it is.”

Without looking at it, Qin Ran raised her hand and accurately caught it with her hand.

“What’s that?” He Chen put down his cup and looked towards her.

Lowering her eyes, Qin Ran opened the palm of her hand—

It was a golden mobile phone card.
