Chapter 2 Abandoned Son?

Six p.m.

Most of the doctoral professors in the laboratory are gone, leaving only seven who are working with Academician Liao on Qin Ran’s five projects.

Qin Ran also told Academician Liao and others and left directly.

Dean Jiang, Zhou Ying and Senior Brother Ye sent her out, while the others were obsessed with the project and couldn’t extricate themselves.

Qinran had already seen Cheng Juan’s car parked on the roadside. The air conditioner in the laboratory was turned on very high, and it was close to the reactor. It was stuffy and hot. Qinran didn’t wear a scarf when she came out, and she didn’t even button her coat. She walked to the last step and waved to the three of them. When she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something. She turned sideways and said, “Dean Jiang, Dr. Zhou, Senior Brother Ye, do you have time on the 1st? I have personal matters.” “

No.1? I should have time.” J University starts on the 1st. Dean Jiang always has a lot to do, but if Qin Ran comes to him, he will definitely be able to make time. Senior Brother Ye and Dr. Zhou have not been on vacation these days, and they cannot stand the high-intensity work. They are preparing to take a vacation. According to Qin Ran, they are planning to take two days off at the beginning of the month.

“Junior sister, you don’t have any other projects, do you?” Senior Brother Ye glanced at Qin Ran and paused. However, he has even participated in top projects like ICNE. He is already a Ye Mingqiao who has gone through big storms. No matter what project Qin Ran has, he feels that he can be stable.

“That’s not true. It’s just a banquet. The teacher I told you about.” Before Principal Xu’s post reached her, Qin Ran touched her chin to explain. She calculated and found that she actually had quite a few friends in her circle. Nan Huiyao and Lin Siran totaled ten. As for Lu Zhixing and the others… they might be furious if they knew she was going to take over the institute.

Of course, it wasn’t just for this reason. Lu Zhixing was so happy that she could just treat him to a meal alone. She was bothered by such a banquet, let alone inviting him to it.

Qin Ran said goodbye to the three of them again, opened the door of the passenger seat and got in.

The lights in the car were on, and Cheng Juan was lowering his head and pressing his cell phone to send a message to someone. When he saw Qin Ran coming up, he calmly turned off his phone in a serious manner.

“Do you want to invite that friend of mine?” Qin Ran leaned on the back of the chair, holding the phone in her hand, thinking for a while. She has never understood these worldly things, and she has always been arrogant, doing whatever comes to her mind.

Cheng Juan turned the key and started the car: “Which one?”

“The paparazzi one.” Qinran replied.

“The one delivering medicine to you?” Cheng Juan smiled and drove onto the road. “She’s in City A too? Please.”

Qinran nodded, took out her cell phone, pulled out He Chen’s WeChat account and sent it – “Do you have time on the 1st?”

After thinking about it, Qin Ran added another sentence – “There are many people coming to the Xu family banquet, and there is some big news to dig up.”

He Chen is a reporter and does everything. War correspondent, paparazzi, news reporter… As long as she is in this industry, she can be found in most fields.

He Chen must like people like the Xu family who are often unable to dig out news.

Not two seconds after Qin Ran sent the message, He Chen called. She was also in City A, running news outside. Pushing down the peaked cap on her head, she smiled: “Do you have an invitation to the Xu family’s banquet? Sure, I’m worried that I can’t go in as a reporter.”

After calling Qin Ran, He Chen hung up the phone and stuffed the phone into his pocket: “As expected of a lone wolf.”

“Sister He Chen, what do you mean by invitation?” asked another reporter beside him.

“Nothing.” He Chen smiled lightly and waved his hand casually.

In the laboratory, after Dean Jiang and others watched the black car carrying Qin Ran leave, Dean Jiang frowned and said in a deep voice: “Dr. Zhou, you said… what is going on in the institute? Praising and killing. ? “

Qin Ran has some strength, but she has been firmly seated as an associate second-level researcher from the beginning. Isn’t this position a bit high… After all, an associate second-level researcher is on an equal footing with most old men.

Although Qin Ran is a genius that is rare to see in the domestic physics community for a hundred years, but given this honor to her at such a young age, are we not afraid that she will be arrogant and arrogant, be flattered, and neglect research from then on… A third-level researcher is what she is now. status.

Dean Jiang was somewhat suspicious of the intentions of the senior staff of the institute.

“I don’t know. I don’t know much about the institute.” Zhou Ying pondered for a while, “This level 2 is indeed high. It may cause problems for other people, but it won’t happen for Qinran.” “How do you

know ? No? Who knows if the institute will give her a second-level diploma in the future?” Dean Jiang turned sideways, with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Ying paused, looked at Dean Jiang, and coughed twice: “Dean Jiang is busy with work, so he probably doesn’t listen to gossip or browse the web, right? Qin Ran is a very popular person on the Internet. Just that game. The founder of the divine card is enough to make her a god, and there is also Master Wei’s close disciple. If she drifts so easily, she will not be Qin Ran.”

Zhou Ying of the research institute did not go in, but he also knew that there was a lot of water inside. deep. In any case, if the person behind it really wanted to “praise and kill” Qin Ran, it can only be said that the other party did not investigate all of Qin Ran’s deeds.

Qin Ran, who is supported by millions of people, is not in a bad mood, but will she be so low because of a deputy second-level researcher at the institute?

Zhou Ying sneered – the people at the institute must have underestimated Qin Ran.

Of course Dean Jiang doesn’t read gossip, but during that time he also heard other people discussing Qin Ran. Basically, the juniors at home were discussing it with the students in the school. He also followed the trend and watched that variety show. Qin Ran’s performance in it was quite satisfactory, and Dean Jiang didn’t think there was anything outstanding about it. Especially the physics question made Dean Jiang doubt the IQ of the program team.

Dean Jiang didn’t understand the game “Jiuzhou Tour”, but after hearing what Zhou Ying said, he felt relieved.

He thought about it and found that Qin Ran’s performance today was indeed calm, even too calm.

Qin Ran went back to Tinglan.

Cheng Mu also happened to come back from meeting Father Lin. He was holding two bags happily in his hands. When he saw Qin Ran and Cheng Juan, he raised his head and said, “Miss Qin, look at the new species that Uncle Lin and I have cultivated. It’s absolutely amazing.” It’s more cold-resistant than the last one.”

He opened the bag, carefully took out the flower pot inside, and handed it to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran glanced at it and saw that the potted flower did look more energetic: “You are very talented.”

Cheng Juan put one hand in his pocket, walked over and took a look, and chuckled: “It’s really good. The Lin family has found a good one.” Gardener.”

Cheng Mu’s back straightened again, and he solemnly arranged the flower pots. After setting it up, he remembered something: “By the way, Miss Qin, someone delivered this this afternoon.”

Cheng Mu handed Qin Ran a box on the table.

Qin Ran went upstairs and opened the box. It was the invitation written by Principal Xu – based on a list she sent in the afternoon. She had just told Principal Xu about He Chen’s name, so it would probably be later.

She went upstairs to change some clothes, took out the invitations for Mr. Cheng and Cheng Wenru, and went to Cheng’s house with Cheng Juan.

“Aren’t you going to get some sleep?” Downstairs, Cheng Juan didn’t change his clothes. He poured a glass of water and drank it slowly.

Qin Ran shook her head: “No, Sister Cheng has to wait impatiently.” She raised her hand and looked at the time, it was close to seven o’clock in the evening.

“Why are you afraid of her?” Cheng Juan frowned, put down the water glass, raised his hand and put it on Qinran’s head and rubbed it. He half-squinted his eyes and opened his lips, “They are not in a hurry. What’s wrong with asking them to wait?”

Cheng Mu had already gone to drive first, and the two of them went downstairs together.

It was a holiday today and there was no traffic jam. We arrived at Cheng’s house in less than half an hour. The two of them walked around the corridor for about five minutes before arriving at the lobby.

There were a bunch of people sitting at the dinner table. Cheng Wenru, Cheng Raohan, except for the lobby masters who were still in M ​​State, several hall masters and stewards were all there.

Knowing that Qin Ran was busy, dinner was set for eight o’clock in the evening, and Mr. Cheng hadn’t come yet. This group of people gathered together to discuss the succession ceremony that Mr. Xu suddenly announced.

“I heard that the heir Mr. Xu is looking for is not from the Xu family, but from a foreign surname.” A senior executive frowned, “The Xu family is vigorously opposing it… I’m afraid it will be unstable.” “A

foreign surname?” Cheng Raohan paused and raised his head to look. Xiang that person said in a serious voice, “Are you sure? Instead of giving Xu Yaoguang such a big research institute, he wants to give it to someone with a foreign surname?”

What does he mean? Do you think the Xu family is too powerful?

“The news should be correct,” the senior management nodded, “I don’t know what the Xu family wants to do… Anyway, in two days, the whole city A will be uneasy.”

Several big families in city A have always been stable, and their power has changed. Master, Principal Xu is looking for an heir who is not his family… The whole city A is probably going to be blown up. If this news is true, we just have to wait and see if the heir can survive the whirlpool. If there is a backstage, he can still survive. Okay, no backstage…

As the group was talking, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan came in from the door. Qin Ran held her mobile phone in one hand and the invitation casually in the other.

“Third Young Master, Miss Qin.” At the table, other stewards stood up immediately and spoke respectfully.

Everyone at the dinner table couldn’t help but cast their eyes on Qin Ran, with curiosity mixed with rare respect.

Seeing these two people, Cheng Raohan’s chest became clogged.

The four major families had already received the news about the return of the Institute of Physics in City A to the sight of M Continent, and naturally they were no strangers to Qin Ran. If the Cheng family had paid a little attention to Qin Ran in the past because of TV shows, violin, and the top score in the college entrance examination, this time the shock in the physics world directly made the Cheng family stand in awe of Qin Ran.

It’s not unusual for someone to top the college entrance examination every year. As for violins, the Cheng family doesn’t think much of them…

but M State… Qin Ran single-handedly brought a research institute back into M State’s sights and opened up the market in City A, which was enough for other managers of the Cheng family to see Qin Ran’s strength and potential. I also know that she has unlimited potential in the future, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be easy for her to reach the top position of the institute.

This is enough for them to respect.

“Sorry, I’m late.” After Qin Ran said hello one by one, she lowered her head slightly and spoke.

“Why is it too late?” Cheng Wenru crossed his legs, looked down at his phone, and raised his chin, “There is still half an hour, Butler Qin, let them serve the dishes.” The dishes

came one by one, Cheng Wenru, Mr. Cheng and Qin Ran chatted about M state.

“It’s so late, why don’t you stay here today? I have several beautiful rooms in my wing.” Cheng Wenru took the chopsticks and looked at Qin Ran with a smile, “There will be a fireworks show here in the evening.”

Qin Ran said After a pause, he turned his head slightly and looked at Cheng Juan beside him. Cheng Juan peeled off a shrimp casually, stuffed it into her mouth, and said lazily, “Then stay here. Aren’t you going to have a rest tomorrow? You have to go see your uncle. I’ll drop by here too.”

Qin Ran has been really busy these two days . I’m tired and too lazy to bother anymore. After receiving the news, Cheng Wenru and Mr. Cheng were very excited.

Cheng Raohan on the side felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene.

After dinner, Cheng Wenru hurriedly took Qin Ran to see the private room. Qin Ran handed two invitations to Cheng Wenru and Mr. Cheng: “The time is set, March 1st.” Cheng Wenru

accepted it casually. Naturally, she would not Looking through it in front of Qin Ran. At the moment, she was excitedly preparing for Qin Ran to stay in her wing, and led Qin Ran to the wing on her high heels.

Cheng Juan put his hands behind his head and lazily followed the two of them. His wing was not far from Cheng Wenru’s, so there was no rush.

“March 1st?” At the dinner table, Cheng Raohan and the other stewards had not yet left. Hearing this sentence, he looked at Mr. Cheng and said, “Is there a game over there, Miss Qin?” “There seems to be

one.” There are many banquets at the New Year’s Eve dinner. , often bumped into.

This kind of thing didn’t happen once or twice. Most of them pick the important ones and send a representative to the less important ones.

“Dad, you’re not going to refuse the Xu family’s heir’s banquet, are you?” Cheng Raohan’s expression changed.

Although he knew that his father had always doted on Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, he never expected that his father would become so demented.

When the others heard this, they also paused. They looked at Mr. Cheng and said nothing, but their expressions showed obvious disapproval.

This matter about the Xu family is no small matter.

Mr. Cheng waved his hand casually: “I have discretion.”

Mr. Cheng put his hands behind his back and walked around the corridor to the study. Butler Cheng pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. When Mr. Cheng stopped in front of the desk, he paused: “Master…”

“You don’t think it’s appropriate, too?” Mr. Cheng glanced at Butler Cheng.

Steward Cheng stood seven steps away and pursed his lips when he heard this. In terms of logic, he naturally felt that Qin Ran was more important.

But as a family member, most things are beyond your control.

The Xu family has grown rapidly in the past year, and has the same momentum as the Cheng family. The ceremony for Principal Xu’s successor is very important, and Mr. Cheng will definitely be given a solemn invitation. If Mr. Cheng is not present… the impact this will have is not trivial.

Butler Cheng didn’t speak, and Mr. Cheng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Outside, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Mr. Cheng opened the invitation and spoke without raising his head.

The few hall directors who were at the dinner table came in. They bent at 90 degrees and spoke sincerely: “Master, please think twice about the Xu family matter.” You can’t blame them for being nervous. As soon as

Mr. Cheng met Cheng Jun, the bottom line has been repeatedly compromised and broken through.

Everyone in the Cheng family and even City A are used to it, otherwise the name “Master Juan” would not be so powerful in the entire City A.

Forget about things that didn’t endanger the Cheng family in the past, now Mr. Cheng’s decision will jeopardize the friendship between the Cheng and Xu families.

After the group finished speaking, they saw no reaction from Mr. Cheng. He was looking down at the invitation in his hand, and his hands seemed to be shaking.

Several hall masters lowered their heads and looked at each other.

“Master?” Butler Cheng took a step forward and called out.

Mr. Cheng didn’t react to this sound.

“Master?” Butler Cheng called again.

Only then did Mr. Cheng react. He put down the invitation with a “pop” and hurried out of the study without saying anything.

Behind the scenes, Butler Cheng and several hall masters didn’t understand what Mr. Cheng meant.

Butler Cheng was the person who had been following Mr. Cheng for the longest time and realized that there might be something wrong with the invitation. He walked to the desk, picked up the invitation that Mr. Cheng had placed on the table, and took a look at it.

His hand holding the invitation also paused, and his pair of cloudy pupils shrank violently.

Butler Cheng’s reaction was also inappropriate…

The steward and the hall masters were anxious: “Steward Cheng, what happened? What does the old man mean?” “

Everyone, please don’t worry about where the old man is going.” He took a deep breath. Turn the invitation over and show it to several hall masters.

The gilded invitation was clearly written –

“Your invitation: Mr. Cheng

himself will be at… on March 1st…”

No one else had read the middle line of text, and everyone’s eyes stopped at the lower left corner – “Yours sincerely, Xu Shiying “.

The study was very quiet, no one spoke, but Butler Cheng could hear his own breathing.

Xu Shiying, the real name of the person in the Xu family who was in charge of the two parties.

“Steward Cheng, this…” Several hall masters looked at Steward Cheng and were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses. “Is this the invitation that Miss Qin gave to the old man?”

Steward Cheng’s mind was empty and he subconsciously spoke slowly. He nodded.

Mr. Cheng had been holding on to this invitation and hadn’t put it down. This invitation was the one Qin Ran gave to Mr. Cheng.

After a while, a hall leader woke up first and looked at the others. He was speechless for a while: “So, Miss Qin is inviting the old man to go on March 1st…is it… the Xu family? She is Xu. The heir that I always wanted to take over?”

Not only him, but others also thought of this.

The Xu family’s selection of an heir is enough to shock the entire top forces in City A. Currently, there are many people who are looking for the heir that Principal Xu mentioned. Most of them didn’t believe that President Xu would hand over such a large research institute to an outsider who had absolutely nothing to do with the Xu family. But now…

“This matter has become big.” The group of people looked at each other.

Butler Cheng reacted. He closed the invitation and looked sideways at the people in the study with a serious look on his face: “I hope the hall masters will not reveal this matter before March 1st.

” Being feared by the Xu family, it’s no wonder that Principal Xu kept silent about the heir.

If the Xu family really knew about it first, Qin Ran might be in danger, and Principal Xu might not be able to protect her.

Fortunately, it was Qin Ran who had Cheng Juan and Mr. Cheng behind her.

“Miss Qin is really…” Butler Cheng shook his head, not knowing what to say, but his heart was beating very fast, echoing in his ears.

Cheng Wen is like a wing room here.

“What did you say?” Cheng Wenru couldn’t hold her posture anymore. She stood up from the chair suddenly and looked at Mr. Cheng with wide eyes. After she came back, she didn’t read the invitation until she had just settled Qin Ran. When she came back, she saw Mr. Cheng sitting in the house and dropped a bomb on her.

She hurriedly picked up the invitation she placed on the table, opened it and took a look, and came to the same conclusion as Butler Cheng.

I’m afraid this time it’s really going to blow up City A.

At the same time, the Shen family in City A.

People like the Shen family who have just reached the edge of the pyramid don’t even know about the turmoil at the tip of the pyramid.

“Qin family,” Mr. Shen raised his glass and smiled at Mr. Lin, “Welcome to City A.” If in

the past, the Shen family and the Lin family were several levels higher, and even Lin Wan could boss around the Lin family, the Shen family would naturally not do anything to the Lin family. So enthusiastic. But now, there is Qin Ran in front of him, and Qin Yu in the back who is valued by Fourth Master Qin. Not to mention that Lin Jinxuan is now successful in his career, so the Shen family will naturally be respectful to the Lin family.

After the group finished drinking, Mr. Shen looked at Qin Yu and said, “Fourth Master is going to take you to a banquet in two days?”

Although the Qin family has declined, this is only compared to the four major families. For people like the Shen family, Family, the Qin family is still a peak that can only be looked up to.

“It’s the Xu family.” During this period, Qin Yu finally figured out the situation in City A with Fourth Master Qin. The “those families” mentioned by Dai Ran and others before were the four major families, the Cheng family and the Xu family, with the Xu family ranking second in the entire circle.

After listening to Qin Yu’s words, everyone else at the dinner table cast envious glances at Qin Yu. There was no trace of pride on Qin Yu’s face. She just lowered her eyes and held the chopsticks with her fingertips tense.

She knew that her previous situation was too small, and those things on the Internet were nothing. Only by holding power in the palm of her hand could it belong to her. Families like the Cheng family and the Xu family are hermit families hidden among all wealthy families.

Now she finally touched the slightly deeper layer of water.

March 1st, Xu family.

The banquet is scheduled for nine fifty-eight in the morning. At nine o’clock, people kept coming in at the front door of Xu’s house. Every single person should not be underestimated.

Principal Xu was preparing at the back. In the banquet hall, Xu Yaoguang, the recognized next head of the Xu family, was waiting to receive guests. Like Cheng Juan, he became famous at a young age. He has been managing the Xu family’s affairs in the past year, and his methods are not inferior to those of Principal Xu.

Next to Xu Yaoguang stood a middle-aged man holding a wine glass. The middle-aged man looked at Xu Yaoguang with a solemn expression: “Xiao Shao, who is the foreigner that Mr. Xu wants to recruit? Can you trust him? How is his ability?”

It’s strange that Principal Xu kept the secret a secret. The Xu family couldn’t find out any information about the heir, and they even asked the Ouyang family for help. If Principal Xu hadn’t said that he was going to entertain guests today, no one else would have believed that he had really found an heir…

“Second uncle,” Xu Yaoguang paused. He naturally knew that his grandfather did not tell Qin Ran’s news in advance. Protecting Qin Ran, “Don’t worry, her abilities… won’t let you down.”

A student who has just entered the university and will become an associate second-level researcher in March of the following year, not to mention her management ability, her attainments in physics are absolutely enough.

Seeing that Xu Yaoguang was so sure, Uncle Xu paused and then sighed: “You are obviously the most suitable, but I don’t know what Mr. Xu is planning.” Xu Yaoguang lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: “There is no need to

worry about this matter, why not Think carefully about the trip to M State in three days… Grandpa may let her join the team.”

At this point, Xu Yaoguang also paused. According to how much grandpa values ​​Qin Ran, it is not impossible for her to join the team.

Uncle Xu: “How come? Mr. Xu has never applied for an extra pass. It will take at least half a month to get the pass. It can be done in these two days.” To go to the territory of the Mas family, you need a pass, otherwise the machine will be shut down. There is no way to get out.

While the two were talking, a few more people came in at the gate, none other than Fourth Master Qin.

Qin Yu was two steps behind Fourth Master Qin. As soon as she came in, she saw several people she could only see on TV. She immediately realized that this was the top banquet in City A. The ceremony was so grand that even Master Wei’s apprenticeship banquet could not compare to it.

There were many guests in the banquet hall. Fourth Master Qin took the people directly to greet the host: “Let’s go, let’s go find Mr. Xu first.”

Qin Yu looked in the direction that Fourth Master Qin pointed.

The next second, her feet seemed to be nailed, and she was very out of control.

This is… Xu, Yao, Guang? !

Xu Yaoguang was wearing a black windbreaker, buttoned up carefully. His eyes were light and he was talking to the people around him with his head lowered, the expression on his face was as cold as ever. Everyone around him would nod to him, which shows his status in this banquet hall.

After college, Qin Yu met Xu Yaoguang once, on the campus of J University. Since then, Qin Yu didn’t pay much attention to Xu Yaoguang. Later, Xu Yaoguang also asked her twice about violin scores. As things happened online, Qin Yu never contacted Xu Yaoguang again.

Until today, this person appeared in front of her again.

Qin Yu couldn’t help but take a step back, stumbling in high heels.

Fourth Master Qin had already walked to Xu Yaoguang and greeted him.

“Why are you here?” Qin Yu pinched his palms with his nails, trying to calm himself, and looked up at Xu Yaoguang.

Xu Yaoguang lowered his eyes and glanced at Qin Yu without any ripples. He nodded slightly towards Fourth Master Qin and his party. Fourth Master Qin, who was treated with great care by the Shen and Lin families, did not feel slighted at all. .

From beginning to end, Xu Yaoguang didn’t look at Qin Yu for a second longer.

“Do you know Young Master Xu?” After walking to the other side, Fourth Master Qin turned to look at Qin Yu, “Yes, you and Young Master Xu are in the same class. He studied in Yuncheng in his third year of high school. You two should be alumni. .”

Qin Yu nodded in a daze.

Perhaps because of Qin Yu’s relationship with Xu Yaoguang, Fourth Master Qin became more patient with Qin Yu. He saw her slightly disappointed and surprised expression, and smiled slightly: “It’s normal for people like Mr. Xu not to remember you. He is the next head of the Xu family and has taken over the family affairs for a year, but after all, we have a friendship with classmates. Yes.”

He said calmly, but he didn’t know how much impact it had on Qin Yu. Back then, Xu Yaoguang’s life had always been simple. He only took Qiao Sheng’s car back and forth, and lived in a dormitory… Qin Yu’s mind was buzzing, and the people and sounds around her turned into light and shadow, buzzing in her ears. Sound.

At half past nine, most of the people from the Xu family were already in their seats. The chairman and the second seat were all members of the four major families.

Xu Yaoguang and other younger people sat in the second seats, while old guys like Mr. Cheng sat in the chair.

Before the heir ceremony begins, it is a time for everyone to socialize. Except for the Xu family and the Cheng family, no family can afford to hold such a luxurious banquet.

“My dad came to the Cheng family after all,” Cheng Raohan held the wine glass and smiled at his confidants. “It seems that he hasn’t lost his mind because of my third brother and that girl.” Not only did Mr. Cheng not go, but also Cheng Wenru didn’t go

. If we didn’t say both would go in the past, at least one would. Speaking of which, Mr. Cheng and Cheng Wenru didn’t take Qin Ran too seriously.

Not far away, Cheng Juan and Qin Ran were walking towards this side.

Cheng Raohan paused and sneered: “Are these two people here themselves?”

Basically, people who can come to this banquet can belong to the top circles. Most people know Cheng Juan, but basically they are not like him. He was familiar with him. Except for Jiang Dongye and a few others, few people dared to say hello to him.

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were also seated second.

There were slightly more young people at the second seat. Uncle Xu was also at the second seat. Xu Yaoguang was still entertaining the guests but did not come.

“Mr. Xu,” someone asked Second Uncle Xu at the second table, “Who is the heir that Mr. Xu is looking for? Is it really not Mr. Xu?”

Speaking of this, Second Uncle Xu shook his head and said calmly: “No, we don’t have any news. . “

Not to mention other people are curious, Xu Jiaben’s family is also curious.

While the group was chatting, Cheng Juan and Qin Ran arrived. Second Uncle Xu naturally knew Qin Ran. He was a great contributor to the institute and would have an unlimited future.

“Classmate Qinran, no, I should call you Comrade Researcher Qin,” Second Uncle Xu stood up, and after greeting Cheng Juan, he shook hands with Qinran very politely, “Please take care of me in the future.” Most of the people at the dinner table

said I have heard of Qin Ran, this popular figure in City A.

After saying hello, everyone turned their attention to Cheng Juan beside her. Cheng Juanzheng habitually pulled out a chair next to him and asked Qinran to sit down.

Everyone at the dinner table who knew Cheng Juan, except Cheng Raohan, was stunned.

Only a few people in the Cheng family know about the relationship between Qin Ran and Cheng Juan. There have been a lot of things happening in City A recently, and most people’s attention is on the Xu family and M State. Other families did not pay much attention to the scandalous news about the Cheng family’s three promiscuous sons, who were not in charge of other things. They still stayed at the rumors that had suddenly arisen in the previous circles and stayed at the position of “student scumbag” and “taking the back door”.

No one knows who started this rumor, but it is said that the source is reliable and most people believe it. After all, what can’t the Crown Prince of the Cheng family do?

Therefore, after that, not so many people continued to pay attention to the sexy news about the Crown Prince of the Cheng family.

To this day… Qin Ran’s basic information is no longer a secret in City A. Both her age and place of birth are consistent with previous rumors…

As for the other… scumbags? Go through the back door? Who spread this rumor?

The uninformed people at the dinner table were a little crazy, except Cheng Raohan, whose face was a little dark.

After a long while, the group of people came to their senses. Uncle Xu looked at Qinran and asked about her teacher: “Has your teacher been confirmed? I heard that Dean Fang is also asking for news about you.” “

Dean Fang?” A soft voice came from behind, as light as the breeze.

Hearing this voice, everyone at the dinner table except Cheng Juan and Qin Ran stood up and greeted Ouyang Wei warmly and politely. Even Cheng Raohan was no exception: “Miss Ouyang.” “Miss Ouyang.” “

…

“

Qin Ran realized that this was the one who was very famous in City A, and was the goddess Cheng Mu before. She leaned back on the chair and glanced behind her.

Ouyang Wei glanced at Qin Ran indifferently, and in a flash, she looked at Uncle Xu, generous and polite: “Dean Fang just told me two days ago that he has no plans to accept disciples for the time being.” Hearing Ouyang Wei’s words,

Cheng Raohan couldn’t bear it. He lowered his head to cover the sarcastic smile on his lips.

Ouyang Wei was successfully promoted to be an important member of the “129 Detective Agency”, and she became very prosperous in the Ouyang family. She was on good terms with dozens of forces, large and small, in City A. No one was willing to be against her.

Fortunately, the Ouyang family does not have enough foundation. Even if Ouyang Wei is here, it will only temporarily crowd out the Qin family, otherwise the Ouyang family will go further.

Cheng Juan never talks much, and others don’t dare to provoke him, so most people are talking to Ouyang Wei. As for Qin Ran, who was hot just now, no one is paying attention to him.

At nine fifty-eight, Principal Xu walked onto the stage with his hands behind his back. The host who created the atmosphere first made a speech to welcome everyone, and then talked about the main events of the day: “Today is the ceremony for Mr. Xu to announce the next successor of the Institute of Physics, and it is also the first time that he has made a public appearance…” He continued talking

.

At the second table, Qin Ran’s face was expressionless: “Did Principal Xu misunderstood what I said was simple?” Even a well-known host was invited to liven up the atmosphere?

Cheng Juan didn’t care about the other people at the dinner table and just poured a cup of tea for Qin Ran: “Don’t be angry. Principal Xu may… really just

do it on purpose.” Qin Ran glanced at him and took a sip of warm water. Say something.

Cheng Juan couldn’t help but laugh.

The host has handed over the microphone to Principal Xu. Principal Xu took the microphone, pushed up his glasses, and said in a calm voice: “Please come up, my heir.”

Everyone at the scene cheered up, especially the Xu family. Principal Xu did not inform the Xu family of anything, and directly After choosing an heir, who knows whether this heir will be successful? Can it continue the glory of the institute?

If today’s matter is not handled well and the heir chosen by Principal Xu is not qualified, the prestige of the direct lineage of the Xu family in the Xu family and in the institute will be greatly reduced.

Everyone in the Xu family was very nervous.

On the stage where everyone was focused, Principal Xu looked directly at Qinran’s table. Seeing Qinran lowering her head and moving slowly, Principal Xu knew that she was annoyed by this complicated routine, just like her grandfather. But he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with him at all. If he didn’t make a big show today, no one would be able to see how serious he was about this heir.

“Classmate Qinran.” Principal Xu raised his eyes and added very calmly.

The look that Principal Xu cast on Qinran’s table just now made some people speculate, but they couldn’t believe it. After all… this was the heir to the institute. Now that Principal Xu was calling the names, the atmosphere at the scene became a little strange.

Everyone’s eyes were on the second seat at the table. Cheng Raohan stiffly turned his head and looked at Qin Ran.

As for Uncle Xu, one second he was worried whether Principal Xu had found an unreliable heir. The next second, he was stunned.

Under countless gazes, Qin Ran stood up and went on stage expressionlessly to complete the complicated heir handover ceremony.

Principal Xu solemnly handed a seal to Qin Ran with a serious voice: “The future of the Institute of Physics in City A is in your hands.” Upon hearing

this, Qin Ran slowly raised her hand. He agreed to take over the institute just to investigate his grandfather’s affairs, but after going through so much, there may be people with evil intentions in the institute, but most people work hard for it. A national flag raised in M ​​state gave people in the domestic physics community a shot in the arm, but in just a few days, Qinran felt the persistence of these physicists.

This secondary seal is not just a seal, but also a responsibility and a belief.

Qin Ran took a deep breath before reaching out to receive the secondary seal.

“Don’t worry,” Principal Xu patted Qin Ran’s shoulder solemnly. There seemed to be a faint glimmer of water in his turbid eyes. After a long time, he slowly said, “If I and the Cheng family can’t protect you, then our two families don’t need it either.” Hanging out in City A.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you down to identify people. “

Qin Ran couldn’t feel Principal Xu’s complicated mood. She just held a wine glass and followed behind Principal Xu, Xu Yaoguang and the two heads of the Xu family, and toasted from the main seat.

“Mr. Cheng and Principal Zhou, you should We are all familiar with each other, so no introduction is needed. This is our Xu family’s receptionist in M ​​State, Mr. Carlo…” At the main table, Principal Xu solemnly introduced Mr. Carlo to Qinran.

Mr. Carlo did not He knew too much Mandarin, so he just raised his glass to Qinran.

“Mr. Carlo is from the Mas family in M ​​state, and you, Teacher Wei, must know that. Remember him first. In the future, the institute will be in line with M State. These forces in M ​​State are very important. “Principal Xu said briefly.

The two of them had already arrived at the second seat. At the second seat, Principal Xu didn’t want to see Cheng Juan, but he solemnly introduced Ouyang Wei to Qin Ran. He was also very polite to Ouyang Wei: “Ranran, this is Miss Ouyang, the next generation heir of the Ouyang family, is also the backbone of the ‘129 Detective Agency’. You two are almost the same age, both are extraordinary geniuses, and you can communicate well in the future. “

Ouyang Wei had recovered from the initial shock. Facing Principal Xu’s words, she just nodded lightly and glanced at Qin Ran as if she didn’t care, with a calm expression on her face.

After leaving the range of the second chair, Xu The principal spoke solemnly to Qin Ran, his voice low: “Ranran, you should be curious about why I value Ouyang Wei so much. “

Qin Ran nodded. She was indeed curious. Qin Ran had heard the name Ouyang Wei more than a hundred times intermittently. She was an intermediate member of “129 Detective Agency”, but there were so many intermediate members. Why did Jiang Dongye and Cheng Wenru both treat her so much? Respected?

“Actually, Ouyang Wei herself is not important. What is important is the forces behind her. We are also afraid of the people behind her – ‘129 Detective Agency’. I will explain the specific matters to you slowly after the banquet.” “Principal Xu remained calm.

In front of Ouyang Wei, even several old men from the four major families would give her face.

Who among the powerful people present does not know that Chang Ning, the boss of the International Center, was the great god and giant crocodile?

Back then, even M Continent The family museum that collects history was looted by him, and Interpol failed to arrest anyone.

Let alone He Chen and Zha Long, no one can dig out their current situation.

As for the lone wolf… this is the “129 Detective Agency” “There are all the gods within, and others dare not say anything.

If any of these people were to catch one at random, they would be on par with the four major families in City A.

Ouyang Wei is the only one who has successfully joined the “129 Detective Agency” in so many years. People who have successfully reached the intermediate level of membership.

“Okay. Qin Ran nodded slightly. No one knew the strength of Ju Crocodile and Chang Ning better than her. People in City A were afraid of them, so it was understandable. Principal Xu and the others took

Qin Ran around the place. Important figures such as Principal Xu also took them with them. He led Qin Ran to toast him with a glass of wine. This was the basic network he had gained for Qin Ran. The banquet lasted

for a long time, from ten o’clock in the morning to two o’clock in the afternoon, and it was not over until the group had finished eating, drinking and communicating.

Today there is Qin in the Xu family Ran’s commotion is a bit loud, and everyone in City A needs to go home and relax for a while. Especially… no one knows what the plans between Principal Xu and Mr. Cheng are.

Principal Zhou and Zhou Ying are together After leaving the gate of Xu’s house, the two of them parked beside the car. Principal Zhou raised his head and looked at the sky: “This City A… I’m afraid things are going to change. “

I wonder if the pattern of the four major families will be broken. The Xu family has made so many efforts to open up the market in M ​​continent. Will the Institute of Physics in City A…will enter M continent again?

In the hall, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan have not left yet.

After Principal Xu saw off the other old men, he led Xu Yaoguang and Uncle Xu to Qin Ran. Uncle Xu has not recovered yet. He looked at Qin Ran and finally understood what Xu Yaoguang’s previous words of “sufficient ability” meant.

Principal Xu’s eyes paused for a moment on Cheng Juan. Cheng Juan politely greeted Principal Xu: “Teacher Xu.” But he didn’t have the consciousness to avoid it.

“Ran Ran,” Principal Xu ignored Cheng Juan. He thought about his words for a moment before looking at Qin Ran solemnly, “Our Xu family has opened up the market in M ​​State. In three days, the Xu family will go to M State for a business trip. Handover, I hope you can go.”

“Me?” Qinran was stunned. She thought about the lab and hesitated a little. During the most difficult period, she went to M state twice, and the round trip was indeed a waste of time.

“Go.” While she was hesitating, Cheng Juan put his hand on his lips, coughed lightly, and whispered in a low voice that he also wanted to go back to M State to deal with things.

Qin Ran glanced at him. Continent M was a bit dangerous, which made her feel a little shadowy. However, in the future, both the Xu family and the institute would be linked to Continent M.

She thought about it and agreed.

Seeing that she agreed, Principal Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

After sending Qin Ran and Cheng Juan away, Uncle Xu looked at Principal Xu: “Are you sure you want Miss Qin to go to M State with the team?” Qin Ran has been to M State to compete, so she must have a pass for M State, so Uncle Xu is not worried. .

“Yes.” Principal Xu withdrew his gaze and said, “Call all the people in charge and above for a meeting.”

Butler Xu beside him nodded and went to inform the Xu family.

Half an hour later, Xu’s conference room.

Everyone in the Xu family, including the manager and above, looked at Principal Xu and said nothing.

Before today, there were still people planning to jointly oppose the heir selected by Principal Xu, but after today… let alone that heir is protected by the Cheng family, even if not, they cannot use the reason of lack of ability to object. At the age of 21, a team with an average age of less than 21 won the first place in ICNE. What else can you say besides being a genius? The only thing I can fault is her qualifications.

Just for these, Principal Xu is already trying his best to make up for her.

The Xu family really couldn’t find any loopholes. Most of them admired Qin Ran before this and wanted to win her over. But after this incident, wooing has turned into fear.

There is no way, Qin Ran has something to do with the Cheng family. How will the Institute of Physics calculate after this? If Qin Ran really takes real power, will the Institute of Physics belong to the Xu family or the Cheng family?

“Today is mainly to discuss with you our handover to M Continent. Yaoguang will lead the team. Most of the personnel have been selected. The team will set off with Mr. Carlo in three days. I will let Qin Ran go with them.” Principal Xu Sitting in the main seat, his tone was calm, but he dropped a bomb on others.

“Qin Ran? No! Absolutely not!” A consul stood up and objected, “Mr. Xu, I know you value this Qin Ran, but why would you take her to do this kind of thing?” “Learn more

.” Principal Xu adjusted She sat for a moment and glanced at the person who spoke, “She is still Master Wei’s apprentice and has some relationship with the Mas family.” “

But after all, she has not experienced this, so she can easily cause trouble and accidentally offend the Mas family. …” Some people are also worried from the bottom of their hearts.

Principal Xu’s words aroused strong opposition from most people, but Principal Xu did not listen.

After Principal Xu left, the people at the conference table looked at Xu Yaoguang on the left, with worried eyes: “Xiao Shao, don’t you want to persuade Mr. Xu? Just find an outsider to take over the institute, and let her contact him Our core transaction. The trip to M State is not for traveling or participating in competitions. We will have to fight each other at every turn. He…”

First the heir, then the core transaction. The Xu family all wondered whether Principal Xu had been demoted.

Xu Yaoguang also thought about this. He pondered for a moment and stood up: “In the next two days, we will add another escort team with passes.”

The atmosphere in the Xu family was not high.

As for Principal Xu, he has come back and changed his clothes. Butler Xu stood beside him, hesitant to speak.

“What are you wondering about Ran Ran?” Principal Xu glanced at him.

Butler Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “Yes, that Miss Qin…” She was indeed outstanding, but Mr. Xu cared too much about her, and just handed over the institute to her, as well as the matter of M Continent. This was obviously I have complete trust in her…

but people’s hearts are not that simple.

Principal Xu buttoned up his coat, glanced at Butler Xu, and said calmly: “Because she is Ning You’s granddaughter.”

Forty years ago, Ning You was forced to quit M State, quit City A, and quit the institute.

Forty years later, his successor returned to the institute, returned to City A, and reconnected with Continent M.

The institute is closely related to City A and the Xu family. How could Principal Xu identify an heir so casually?

When he followed Pan Mingxuan’s footsteps and found Linghai Town, he recognized Qin Ran’s family. Originally, he did not intend to involve them with the institute anymore, but Qin Ran’s talent in the process made it difficult for him to give up. She is used to being laid-back, but her persistence in one aspect is comparable to Ning’er’s.

He simply stayed in Yuncheng for three years.

After listening, Butler Xu pursed his lips and stood at the table for a long time before reacting and nodded: “I see.” After a moment of pause,

Butler Xu raised his head again: “Academician Ning…his former confidant is still researching Hospital?”

Butler Xu was worried at first that Qin Ran was so young and had no qualifications, how could she suppress those old guys, especially Dean Fang… But she was Ning You’s granddaughter, so it was different. Several of Ning’s former researchers, like Liao Gaogao, have become one of the five special researchers. There were many people who had been favored by Ning You. With them here, and the faint intimidation of the Xu family and the Cheng family, Qinran’s path would not be too difficult.

“I don’t know, but…” Ning You had a lot of people under him at the beginning. Forty years later, these people are definitely not simple, and their achievements will not be much lower than Liao Gaogao. Principal Xu paused slightly, “Professor Chen should give her There are clues left…”

Outside Xu’s house, Cheng Juan and Qin Ran were walking leisurely on the road.

“Why are you going back to M Continent this time?” Qin Ran turned slightly.

Cheng Juan casually hooked her fingertips hanging on one side and glanced at her: “Dealing with the underground alliance.” “

Oh.” Qin Ran lowered his head and shut up.

Cheng Juan turned his head and looked at her, thinking that she would ask a few more questions. Who would have thought that Qin Ran would become quiet as soon as he finished speaking, lowering his eyes and walking quietly.

Cheng Juan raised his eyebrows: “Sister Ran, you…” He said, and just as he was about to say that she felt guilty, he saw a group of people waiting at the parking lot. He swallowed the words on his lips, glanced at them, and paused slightly.

It is the Cheng family.

Mr. Cheng and Cheng Wenru knew about Qin Ran a few days ago, and their behavior at the banquet was quite unpredictable.

Several heads of the Cheng family who were attending the banquet stayed where they were, waiting for Qin Ran and Cheng Juan. As soon as Cheng Juan appeared in their sight, Cheng Wenru took a step forward and said, “Third brother, Ran Ran.”

“Why haven’t you left yet?” Cheng Juan looked up, his tone obviously unhappy.

Cheng Wenru didn’t want to pay attention to Cheng Juan and turned his eyes to Qin Ran, not knowing what to say. This was the first time Cheng Wenru told Qin Ran face to face after knowing that Qin Ran was the heir to Principal Xu: “Ranran, you are really… City A has not been so lively in many years, and my dad almost called the family doctor Here it comes.”

Although Mr. Cheng did not see a doctor that night when he learned the news, Mr. Cheng’s condition has been very stable in the past six months. In the past few days, under the instructions of professionals, he has taken a pill with every meal.

Mr. Cheng pretended to be calm and put his hands behind his back.

Cheng Juan raised his eyes and said, “Let’s go back first.”

Except for a few people in the Cheng family who knew that Qin Ran was the heir that Principal Xu had chosen, the rest of the Cheng family had not yet come to their senses and were a little shocked.

Not far away, Cheng Raohan, who had finished chatting with Ouyang Wei, looked over and paused.

“Young Master, do we want to say hello?” the confidant beside him asked in a low voice.

If Qin Ran was just a student who had just passed the physics laboratory exam in the past, although he was somewhat famous online, it was nothing to Cheng Raohan, but now… the heir to the Institute of Physics is enough for him to take seriously. Especially Principal Xu’s attitude clearly valued her very much. Xu Yaoguang, who has always been aloof, looked very familiar with Qin Ran, and he would explain to her the whole process of toasting.

When he first got to know Qin Ran, Cheng Raohan always felt that she was Cheng Juan’s biggest weakness. Who knows, Cheng Juan has no intention of fighting now, but Qin Ran has inadvertently added a lot of chips to Cheng Wenru.

Cheng Wenru has more and more say in the Cheng family, and Cheng Raohan’s potential threat has become her.

Cheng Wenru herself is no different from before. The only difference is that she is close to Qin Ran, especially the deal with the giant crocodile. Cheng Raohan vaguely heard that she has something to do with Qin Ran… Cheng Raohan said nothing

.

If his confidants asked him to get close to Qin Ran at the beginning, he was very disdainful. Now… he has begun to regret it.

If he had known these things about Qin Ran, there would be no way he would look down on her…

Thinking of this, Cheng Raohan couldn’t help but take out his mobile phone and send a message to Ouyang Wei who had just left – “Do you know about the giant crocodile?”

Yunjin Community.

Butler Qin was sitting on the sofa and had just hung up the phone. His face was red at the moment. He was holding his cell phone and was silent for a long time before making a call to Qin Xiuchen in M ​​state with shaking hands.

The person who answered the phone was not Qin Xiuchen, but his agent.

“Steward Qin, Best Actor Qin is filming. What can I do for you?” The manager walked aside and lowered his voice.

“What great news! God bless our Qin family!” Butler Qin muttered, his head covered at this time.

The Qin family has been out of City A for so long, but today it resurfaced in City A because of Qin Ran’s incident. As soon as the banquet ended, many old guys from the Qin family called Butler Qin.

Butler Qin took a long time to organize his words and said to the agent on the other end of the phone: “Miss Ranran is the heir to the institute appointed by Mr. Xu!”

On the M State side, the agent finished answering Butler Qin’s call. Lengtian couldn’t help but feel agitated, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.

Not long after, Qin Xiuchen came over after filming, reached for the coat on the chair, and the assistant beside him quickly handed over the water.

“What’s going on?” Qin Xiuchen put on his coat casually, drank water, and looked at his agent.

“No…your niece…” The manager raised his head, turned his gaze to Qin Xiuchen, and finally said, “Isn’t it terrible?” Upon hearing

this, Qin Xiuchen paused in his hand holding the cup. Eyes narrowed.

The agent thought for a long time before he found a word to describe Qin Ran: “The old man of the Xu family targeted her as the heir to the institute four years ago. I heard that he went to Yuncheng for three years for her!”

After the last Qin family heir assessment incident, the manager felt that Qin Ran should not study physics. After all, Qin Ran’s unprecedented high score in physics is too wasteful. Looking at Principal Xu’s behavior, Qin Ran’s talent in physics may not be worse than that of computers…

Qin Xiuchen’s assistant is also someone who is familiar with the forces in City A. When the agent mentioned Principal Xu, he knew who it was. He suddenly realized: “No wonder she is very good at computers and has strong musical skills, but she studied physics.” After the two of them finished speaking, they turned to

Qin Xiuchen in unison: “Qin Best Actor, are you okay?”

Qin Xiuchen raised his head slightly, glanced at them, said nothing, and seemed quite calm.

The agent looked at Qin Xiuchen who was calm and raised his eyebrows slightly. A leading actor on the other side asked Qin Xiuchen to discuss the script. Qin Xiuchen said “hmm” and walked over.

The manager looked at Qin Xiuchen’s back for a while, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth: “I thought he was really so calm…”

This was all a coincidence, a rare sight in several years.

City A, Tinglan Apartment.

Qin Ran and the others had just come back. Cheng Wenru was sitting on the sofa with her legs slightly crossed: “Are you going to M State again? Then be careful. I heard from the lobby master that M State seems to be not peaceful recently.” Cheng Mu saw the group of

people . , and went to the kitchen to pour water. He first poured a cup for Qin Ran and Cheng Wenru. Qin Ran took the tea, frowned, took a sip, and nodded slightly.

Cheng Juan took off his coat, still holding the phone between his fingertips. Hearing this, he glanced at Cheng Wenru. Just as he was about to say something, the phone in his hand rang. When he lowered his head, he saw it was the number of M state.

Cheng Juan turned his head and glanced at the two of them. He pressed the connect button and walked upstairs. He lowered his voice and said, “President Tang.”

It was Tang Jun who called. His voice was a little deep: “How have you been recently?” Where is it?”

Cheng Juan entered the study, closed the door, and raised his eyebrows: “City A, I will go to State M in two days. Is there something wrong with your hand again?” “Sure enough

.” On the other end of the phone, Tang Jun stood by the tree and lit a cigarette. “I haven’t made a move in several years. Black Eagle should know about my injury. He wants the position of president.”

Tang Jun had problems with his hand a few years ago. , Cheng Juan helped him perform an operation. Although it seems to be intact, the sensitivity is actually not as good as before. This level will naturally not be affected by ordinary people, but… Tang Jun is a hacker, and his hands and computer are equal to his life. These hands have an impact on his strength. The impact is too great.

But Tang Jun has always kept it secret. Although he is the president of the Hacker Alliance, there is no peace within the Hacker Alliance. It is divided into two forces: one part is on his side and abides by the hacker rules and moral hackers; the other part is like Black Hawk. A hacker like Gardner who does not abide by hacker ethics.

Tang Jun knew that once the news about his injured hand came out, these people would definitely find the right opportunity to pull him out, and then the hacker world would definitely be in chaos.

As a leader in the hacker community, Tang Jun has always shouldered his own mission. In the past few years, he has recruited many people who have emerged in the hacker world, just to find a hacker with consistent three views to serve as the president of the hacker alliance, so that he can escape unscathed.

He had considered Lu Zhixing, but Lu Zhixing’s fatal weakness was that he studied programming.

“Black Hawk? That’s really troublesome.” Cheng Juan sat on the chair next to the desk and frowned slightly. He also helped cover up Tang Jun’s news. How did it leak out…

Black Hawk is a hacker ranked among the top ten. He regards wealth as his life. As long as you give him money, he will do anything. Yuncheng also attacked Lu Zhaoying’s computer, and there are traces of it.

Matthew had been staring at him for a long time.

“Black Hawk challenged me. Just one week later, I have two juniors under my command… They are definitely no match for him. Come and see me when the time comes.” Tang Jun raised his head and took a deep breath, “I I originally wanted to train my lost niece, but now it’s too late.”

At this point, Tang Jun couldn’t help but sigh, and it was inconvenient to say more on the phone: “We will talk in detail when you arrive in M ​​Continent.”

” Okay.” Cheng Juan nodded slightly. He hung up the phone, turned on the computer on his desk, and began to check Tang Jun’s medical records.

Three days later.

In the early morning, the Xu family set off as a team to M Continent.

Cheng Juan flew to M Continent last night because he had something to do, and Qin Ran took Cheng Mu one step behind.

The Xu family met at the airport at seven in the morning. Qin Ran and Cheng Mu arrived neither early nor late. The rest of the Xu family were talking at the gathering place. When they saw Qin Ran, they all stopped talking and stopped saying a word, showing obvious rejection.

“Shit!” A steward next to Uncle Xu lowered his voice, “What on earth did Mr. Xu get down to? Even if he gave the institute to an outsider, he really let her come. What’s the use of her being a researcher following us? “

If Qin Ran is just a member of the institute and can make contributions to the institute… everyone in the Xu family will definitely treat her with courtesy and warm welcome. This will not be the attitude. But now, as a foreigner with a foreign surname and a relationship with the Cheng family, Qin Ran took over the institute, which naturally aroused the anger of the Xu family.

Xu Yaoguang stood aside in a dark windbreaker, his face still cold and silent. It wasn’t until Qin Ran arrived that he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Ran. His eyes were slightly dark, and it took him a long time to say, “Congratulations.” Qin Ran casually unbuttoned her down jacket and glanced at him, still

cold. : “Thank you.” There was no emotion in the voice.

After saying that, she put the earphones into her ears and turned on the music without caring about anyone present.

Xu Yaoguang looked at Qin Ran’s back and had countless questions in his mind, including why she concealed the fact that she was proficient in physics at that time, and about the violin… When he saw that she put on her headphones, he swallowed them again. if.

At seven o’clock, Mr. Carlo, who everyone was waiting for, slowly came over.

“Mr. Carlo.” Seeing him, everyone in the Xu family called out respectfully.

Carlo nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and paused for a moment on Qin Ran.

Having met Qin Ran at the banquet a few days ago, Carlo naturally had an impression of her. She seemed to be from the Xu family. As for what it was, Carlo didn’t study it in detail. He really looked down upon these domestic forces.

It’s just that every time the Matthew family’s team goes to M state, there is a certain number of people, and Qin Ran is the only woman who appears in the team.

“Mr. Xu wants Miss Qin to get to know her better. Don’t worry, she won’t hinder our important events.” Seeing that Mr. Carlo seemed a little unhappy, Uncle Xu quickly stood up and explained in a low voice.

Hearing Uncle Xu’s explanation, Carlo frowned: “Bring people out to gain experience?”

He was speaking in international terms, and Uncle Xu bowed his head again to explain. Carlo glanced at Qinran again, but finally said nothing. With the Xu family’s guarantee, he couldn’t say anything.

Cheng Mu followed Qinran carrying a huge suitcase. When he heard Carlo’s words, he looked up at Carlo expressionlessly.

“That’s Mr. Carlo, he is the captain of the Mars family’s arena,” Xu Yaoguang stood a few steps away from Qinran. Seeing Cheng Mu’s eyes, he slowly explained and gave Cheng Mu Popular science, “The Mas family is one of the top forces in M ​​continent.”

Although the arena is only a force under the name of the Mas family, Carlo is still an inconspicuous captain, but for these people in City A, these are already It can be regarded as a big market opened.

Qin Ran’s earphones were very loud. She didn’t hear Xu Yaoguang’s words, but just lowered her head and flipped through her phone. Cheng Juan left a message for her. He had arrived in M ​​State and was helping people see a doctor. Qin Ran replied casually and set off with the group.

The people sent by the Xu family are all elites. Qin Ran didn’t know what kind of business the group of thirty or so people were doing. Most of them avoided Qin Ran and only mentioned a small matter. This time they would help the Mas family suppress a gathering of forces.

Qin Ran leaned back in the chair and roughly heard the content, then took off the blindfold and covered her eyes, and stopped listening.

Eight hours later, the plane stopped at the M terminal. At this time, Xu Yaoguang, Xu Ershu and others did not know that M State was fun.

At the same time, the Hacker Alliance stronghold.

Beside the gate, a black car with a small flag stopped slowly, and two people got out of the car. The man walking behind was tall and long-legged, with delicate features and a cold expression. He was none other than Cheng Juan.

Lao Li stood respectfully waiting at the gate, not daring to look up.

“Mr. Cheng,” Lao Li lowered his head, “I’m waiting for you in the room.”

“Yes.” Cheng Juan responded in a low voice and followed Lao Li in.

The Hacker Alliance had been completely cleared, and there was no one on either side of the road. Lao Li took Cheng Juan directly upstairs.

After going upstairs, Cheng Juan checked on the recovery of Tang Jun’s hands.

“How is it?” Tang Jun sat on the recliner and raised his eyes to ask.

Cheng Juan shook his head and reached into his pocket to take out a bottle of white medicine: “The experimental medicine can help you relieve pain, but I can’t do anything about the sensitivity.” Hearing this,

Tang Jun was not too disappointed. He smiled, and then sighed. : “Your medical skills are already very high. You can still repair your broken hand like that.”

“Is it difficult?” Old Li brought a cup of tea. Cheng Juan picked up the cup and took a sip.

“Black Hawk is ranked in the top ten, and the only one in the Hacker Alliance who can compete with him is me.” Tang Jun looked out the window, holding a white medicine bottle between his fingertips, “There is another person, but…” He didn’t know what he thought of, Shake his head slightly.

Cheng Juan was not interested in the internal affairs of the Hacker Alliance. He put down the tea cup and tapped the table with his fingertips: “Is it four days from now?”

While talking to Tang Jun, he flipped through his phone to read Qin Ran’s messages.

“Well, the Black Hawk is coming aggressively this time, and it’s obviously for the Hacker Alliance,” Tang Jun narrowed his eyes and looked solemn, “I’ll try my best to take action.” Cheng Juan nodded, didn’t say anything, just flipped through his phone,

casually She replied slowly to Qin Ran – “There is something interesting.”

Qin Ran is a hacker, and hackers all over the world are interested in the Hacker Alliance. She will definitely be interested in the president of the Hacker Alliance competing with the top experts in the hacker world.

Cheng Juan leaned back on the chair with a lazy expression.

There are not many things that Qin Ran really likes. Cheng Juan was keenly observant, and the violin was one of them. She didn’t seem to like the violin very much in the past year. He thought about what really interested her, and there was only one thing left – fighting.

Naturally, he would not advocate such a thing.

Pushing back further, she will definitely be interested in these novel things, such as several world-class hacker competitions.

By the way, let her meet the president of the Hacker Alliance.

As soon as Cheng Juan mentioned this, Qin Ran responded quickly – “Not interested.”

Here, Qin Ran had already gotten off the plane. The Maas family’s vehicles are also ready, four vans. There was a triangular flag on the left side of the van. She glanced at it casually and then looked away.

Qin Ran walked directly to the last car, sat in the last row by the window, and continued to scroll through her phone.

Cheng Juan: “?”

He seemed quite surprised that his clever calculation was wrong: “You’re not even interested in this anymore? What else are you interested in?”

The weather in early March was not as cold as before, and Qin Ran was still wearing a black down jacket. Put the hat on. She looked down at Cheng Juan’s reply, replied casually, then took out the black headphones from her pocket and put them on again.

Cheng Mu carried a box and followed Qin Ran into the car, and sat next to Qin Ran.

Outside the car, Carlo answered the phone, then said a few words to Xu Yaoguang and Xu Ershu’s group, and then hurriedly got ready and set off.

Xu Yaoguang, Uncle Xu, and Carlo were also in the last van, and there was an empty seat next to Carlo.

On the plane, Cheng Mu was also sitting next to Qin Ran. Xu Yaoguang never found a chance to talk to Qin Ran, and now he was sitting in the last row, next to Cheng Mu.

Uncle Xu was still talking to Xu Yaoguang, but when he saw Xu Yaoguang sitting next to Cheng Mu without thinking, he stopped what he was saying and didn’t say any more.

The atmosphere inside the car was solemn.

“Xiao Shao, how far is the journey?” Cheng Mu has been following Qin Ran here for more than half a year. Naturally, he also knows the road. He can tell at a glance that this is not the road to the interior of the border of M state.

Xu Yaoguang glanced at the sky outside: “It will take a detour through the mountain road, and we can arrive early tomorrow morning.” “Will we

stop to rest on the way?” Cheng Mu nodded, “We can light a fire to bake bread.”

Xu Yaoguang was sitting in the car. When the family members heard this, they frowned subconsciously. Didn’t they realize that the matter was urgent? Also stopped to bake bread.

But because the other party was Cheng Mu and the Cheng family, everyone else in the van didn’t say anything and just suppressed the anger in their chests.

Xu Yaoguang shook his head, paused, and then said, “We can’t stop.”

“Okay.” Cheng Mu looked a little regretful.

Four hours later, the car stopped at an intersection on a winding mountain road. After waiting on the side of the road for about three minutes, a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles drove over. A tall, muscular brown-haired man got out of the last car and sat directly next to Carlo.

The convoys on both sides did not speak, and the troops left in two groups.

The car continued to drive.

Two hours later, the car stopped at a stronghold. Carlo got out of the car first and opened the door for the brown-haired man.

It’s getting light. Under the morning light, the brown-haired man was wearing a T-shirt, his hands showing strong muscles, and he was nearly two meters tall.

“Lord Bert.” Carlo stood beside the car and spoke respectfully.

The brown-haired man just nodded slightly, but he didn’t know that all this caused shock to the Xu family members who were getting off the car one after another.

Although the Xu family has opened up the economic lifeline of the Mas family, it is still far behind the Mas family. The highest-ranking person I see right now is only Mr. Carlo, the captain of the arena.

But I didn’t expect that Carlo would be so respectful to the brown-haired man?

Burt? who is he?

“Little Master Xu?” Second Uncle Xu was shocked. He looked at Xu Yaoguang and asked with eyes.

Xu Yaoguang and Principal Xu have been to M State once, and this is the first time for many of the Xu family members.

Xu Yaoguang pondered for a long time, and there was a hint of seriousness in his usually cold eyes. He shook his head: “Grandpa and I have never met before.”

Qin Ran followed everyone and got out of the car leisurely. She reached out to take off her headphones and pulled down the down jacket hood above her head. The weather in March is not as cold as December, but Qinran has always been cold. Even in summer, she always wears long sleeves.

She put her hands in her pockets, looked in Bert’s direction with clear eyes, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

After Carlo finished speaking to Bert, he looked at Xu Yaoguang and others, took two steps this way, with his hands behind his back.

M State’s strength is paramount. When speaking to Xu Yaoguang and the others, Carlo naturally lost his respect and said directly: “Your residential area is District Three. Remember, District One is Lord Bert’s training area. You cannot Feel free to enter, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.”

Cheng Mu dragged the box and stood beside Qin Ran. He looked at Bert and could feel the dangerous aura on Bert’s body.

“Miss Qin, do you know that Bert?” Cheng Mu noticed Qin Ran’s gaze and asked in a low voice.

Uncle Xu glanced at Cheng Mu, smiled, didn’t care, picked up his simple luggage and walked to the third area.

Others in the Xu family don’t think Qin Ran really knows Mr. Bert.

Qin Ran withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, put on his hat again, and said in a calm tone: “That is the underground boxing champion of the Mas family. The Mas family runs the largest underground arena in the world. Every underground boxing champion has a terrifying As long as you can win the glory of a boxing champion in a life-and-death competition, your strength will soar to the sky.”

Her tone was calm and her voice was not loud, but anyone who had practiced could hear her clearly.

Although Carlo didn’t speak Mandarin well, he could understand it. Hearing Qin Ran’s explanation, he glanced at Qin Ran in surprise: “The little girl has seen a lot, and she actually knows Sir Bert.” He was

also surprised. Bert was famous in the underground arena, and many people knew him. After that, he didn’t delve into it further, but he kept Qin Ran in his mind.

Every boxing champion has a very prominent status. Not to mention the Mas family, other forces will spend their money to compete for it. After the arena has been operating for so many years, there have only been four underground boxing champions in the world.

No wonder Carlo respects Burt so much. The other person is a boxing champion, so that’s right.

Carlo glanced at Qinran, gave some instructions to the Xu family, and then took Bert to the first area.

“Lord Bert?” The two of them walked to the entrance of the base. Bert paused and Carlo raised his head.

Bert looked at the crowd behind him, his eyes were dark and cold, full of aura, and there was a faint hint of blood in his eyes, as if his eyes were red with murder. When his eyes glanced over, several people in the Xu family who were not determined subconsciously took a step back.

Bert’s eyes paused for a moment on the only woman in the crowd. The woman looked a little bit draggy, but she didn’t have that kind of despair and depression at all. His thick eyebrows twisted slightly, he shook his head again, and said angrily: “It’s okay, I saw it wrong.”

After that, he and Carlo went in.

Most of the people still staying outside were people from the Xu family.

Is he really an underground boxing champion? Uncle Xu and the rest of the Xu family suppressed their surprise and couldn’t help but turn their eyes to Qin Ran.

The same question was swirling in their minds at the same time – how did Qin Ran know?

Others were surprised, but Cheng Mu’s behavior was completely different. He carried the suitcase and glanced at Bert with curiosity and admiration, a little eager to try: “It turns out he is a boxing champion, so he must be very powerful.” Last year, he heard from

Qin Ran and Shi Liming talked about the arena, but…Qin Ran didn’t let him go in the end.

Qin Ran was already familiar with the arena at that time, so Cheng Mu was not surprised to recognize Bert today. At this time, he was just full of admiration for Bert, and understood that those who dared to go to the arena were those who were desperate or ambitious. Those who could win the title of underground boxing champion in the arena of life and death were enough to make Cheng Mu admire him.

After all… even Shi Liming spared his life and didn’t dare to fight in a life-and-death contest.

Xu Yaoguang saw that there was no trace of shock on Cheng Mu’s face, and he was even a little eager to try. He couldn’t help but paused and looked at Qin Ran and Cheng Mu.

“Little Master Xu, come with me.” After Carlo left, the gatekeeper of the base respectfully led Xu Yaoguang and others to the third area.

The Xu family is already a member of the Maas family. Although it cannot be compared with the Maas family, in addition to these top forces, there are also ordinary people in M ​​continent. In the eyes of these people, the Xu family, like Carlo, is also an unattainable figure.

The Mas family’s base is very large. Xu Yaoguang and others live in a three-story building with ten rooms in total. Qin Ran lived in the innermost room on the third floor, Cheng Mu lived next door to her, and Xu Yaoguang lived next door to Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu entered the room and took a look. The rooms in the base here were not as nice as Cheng Juan’s. They were very simple and had no decorations. He placed the flower pots and checked the room again before leaving.

Qinran slept all day and was woken up by Cheng Mu at five o’clock in the afternoon to go downstairs for dinner.

“Master Juan called me this afternoon. Miss Qin, would you like to call me back?” Cheng Mu followed Qin Ran, holding a mobile phone in his hand.

“I know.” Qin Ran rolled up the sleeve of her left hand and replied casually.

downstairs.

Xu Yaoguang and Uncle Xu didn’t even sleep. They were busy with Carlo at the base for most of the day.

“What is she doing?” A person in charge of the Xu family glanced upstairs and frowned.

“I heard from Cheng Mu that she has been sleeping.” Uncle Xu also glanced upstairs, but he was not in a mood, “That’s good, she is also very smart.”

After all, Qin Ran is not an ordinary person, and she has performed well in the research institute. The identity is also very special. Most of the people in the Xu family were afraid of her, otherwise they wouldn’t have tried their best to stop Principal Xu when she asked Qin Ran to come to M Continent.

At the moment, she is actively avoiding the Xu family’s affairs, and she is discerning.

“Lord Bert will definitely get a good ranking this time…” As soon as Uncle Xu said this, Qin Ran and Cheng Mu came down from upstairs.

Second Uncle Xu suddenly paused mid-sentence and said nothing more, obviously intending to avoid Qin Ran and Cheng Mu.

Of course, Qin Ran didn’t ask. She probably knew the purpose of Principal Xu asking her to follow him to M Continent. He wanted her to establish her prestige in front of the key members of the Xu family and took great pains.

Qin Ran sat on the empty seat and thought about this matter. Xu Yaoguang, who was sitting across from him, glanced at Uncle Xu, looked back lightly, and then said to Qin Ran: “This time it is the distribution of power in the western half of the International Center. I don’t know what it is specifically.”

Xu Yaoguang said to M Continent He didn’t know much about the forces, and he didn’t know who owned the western half of Continent M. He told Qin Ran the purpose of the Xu family’s visit to M State. The market they competed for this time would be divided directly into the Xu family’s head.

Qin Ran’s hand holding the chopsticks paused. She raised her head and glanced at Xu Yaoguang, her usually indifferent eyes filled with waves.

The forces in the western half… No wonder Cheng Juan has rushed to M State in the past few days to deal with the underground alliance incident, and he may also be involved in this matter.

Qin Ran looked away and said nothing.

After eating, Qin Ran went up directly with her mobile phone. Second Uncle Xu and others looked at each other in confusion. After Xu Yaoguang arrived in the study, they looked at him: “Xiao Shao Xu, why did you tell her everything? I always feel…she is not an ordinary person.” Xu Yaoguang looked out

the window indifferently. , it’s close to six o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun is gradually setting, casting its afterglow.

“The person Grandpa chooses to believe must be right.” Xu Yaoguang turned sideways, lowered his eyes, and hid the light in his eyes.

Uncle Xu frowned: “But don’t you find it strange? She is a student in China, how could she tell Bert’s identity at a glance? We asked Carlo this afternoon, and he himself said that ordinary people cannot find out about Bert. Young Master Xu, she… is not simple. When she talked about the underground boxing champion today, her expression was too calm.”

Qin Ran is not simple, anyone with a discerning eye can see this.

That expression was not that of an ordinary person.

Although Uncle Xu was in shock at that time, he had also noticed Qin Ran’s expression, and he would not be mistaken.

Xu Yaoguang naturally felt this, and Cheng Mu was more calm than shocked at the time.

Xu Yaoguang turned around and looked at Uncle Xu steadily: “Grandpa must have his reasons. Please don’t doubt the person he chose.” After saying that,

he walked directly to the desk, turned on the computer and reported to Grandpa what happened today. .

Uncle Xu stood behind Xu Yaoguang, glanced at him, opened his mouth, and had nothing to say for a while, so he could only close the door and leave.

At night, Qin Ran was video chatting with Cheng Juan.

“How is the market divided in the Mas family?” Cheng Juan originally wanted to ask Qin Ran about the WeChat message she replied to today, but seeing that she was not very cooperative, he simply didn’t ask.

Qin Ran sat on the only chair in the room, leaning on the back of the chair and raising her eyebrows: “Boxing champion?”

“So casual?” Cheng Juan smiled, walked to the window, and opened it.

“What does it mean to be casual? A lot of people have been lost in the battle between the two parties. Besides… the fight for the boxing championship is also a game.” How could such a large power be distributed casually? Qin Ran looked out of the dimly lit window and squinted slightly. .

Cheng Juan was sitting against the window sill. His casual expression suddenly became serious when he heard this sentence. He stood up directly: “You and Cheng Mu come out now, and I will have someone pick you up.” He obviously also thought of the important point.

The division of forces through boxing champions is naturally not a child’s play, and it is still beneficial to the Mas family… But how can the game between the two forces be so simple? Before they take action, they will definitely take action against Bert.

Qin Ran didn’t reply. She just looked at the window in the video and said thoughtfully, “You just smoked.” Her tone was decisive.

“How is that possible? You’re talking nonsense.” Cheng Juan put his other hand on his lips and coughed lightly.

“Don’t worry, I’m very grateful for my life now, and Cheng Mu will be fine.” Qin Ran looked out the window, and she didn’t care about smoking across the phone.

Cheng Juan put down his hand, paused, and frowned: “Don’t do it.”

“Of course I won’t do it if it’s not necessary.” Qin Ran yawned lazily, then thought of another thing, with a slightly worried expression. “How is your market allocated?” Are you really going to compete with the underground alliance?

“Why do I think you are so familiar with M State? You even know the power plan every three years.” Cheng Juan looked at her with a half-smile.

Qin Ran shut up again.

He chuckled again and said, a little calmly: “I didn’t participate this year.”

Qin Ran hung up the video call and felt something was wrong. She sat up straight and sent a message to Cheng Shui.

Cheng Shui should be busy, so he directly sent a voice message: “Miss Qin, in terms of market division this year, the boss will be given to Matthew.”

Give it to Matthew? Qin Ran sat on the chair and pursed her lips slightly. Matthew and Cheng Shui had always had an antagonistic relationship. The division of power this year is so important. With the temperaments of Cheng Shui and Cheng Huo, how could they give it to their bitter rivals…

Qin Ran looked at her phone. The screen showed another voice message from Cheng Shui, but Qin Ran didn’t listen to it. , the hand holding the phone tightened slightly.

Cheng Juan gave up the territory to Matthew… There was more or less his own relationship.

Just as she was thinking, a dark shadow flashed under the streetlight outside.

The moonlight was not particularly bright tonight, and only the street lights illuminated the ground, which seemed to be stained with a layer of hoarfrost. Qin Ran took her mobile phone and turned off the headlights in the room without opening the door. She opened the window and went to Cheng Mu’s room.

Cheng Mu’s senses were not weak now. He heard strange movements and saw Qin Ran in the dark night. Qin Ran gestured directly to him, and both of them fell down from the third floor. At a glance, Cheng Mu saw the person approaching cautiously against the corner not far away. He walked over and knocked the person unconscious with his knife.

“There is an ambush, be careful to look for explosives.” Qin Ran found a homemade explosive from the corner of the wall. She had no expression on her face, but her mind was very clear. “You go and notify the others, and I will continue to look for it.” The two of them split into two groups

.

Cheng Mu went in and Qin Ran found several homemade explosives outside.

On the third floor, when Cheng Mu went to notify him, someone else noticed something was wrong.

“Bang——” A small reactor exploded at the end of the corridor.

“Xiao Shao! Let’s go! Someone is attacking!” Second Uncle Xu rushed to Xu Yaoguang’s bedroom first, took Xu Yaoguang’s arm and ran out.

Xu Yaoguang also came out with his mobile phone. Instead of leaving first, he took a few steps back and kicked Qin Ran’s door open.

“Where is Qin Ran?” Xu Yaoguang said loudly in the firelight.

“Who knows where she went running around in the middle of the night? Didn’t you tell her that you can’t run around in M ​​state? It’s still causing trouble at this time. Little Xu, let’s go first, maybe she has already gone downstairs!” Uncle Xu didn’t He spoke patiently.

The two came down from the third floor and met the rest of the Xu family. After they came out, they discovered that Bert lived in their third district, not in their first district! No wonder he was attacked!

“Little Master Xu, get in the car first!” Uncle Xu pushed Xu Yaoguang into the car.

Xu Yaoguang held the car door with his hand and looked at Cheng Mu who was following the last Xu family member out: “Where is your Miss Qin?” Cheng Mu

looked back and raised his eyebrows: “Miss Qin hasn’t come out yet?” Second

Uncle Xu Directly urging the driver in front: “Drive.”

The car Bert was in had already left. This place was dangerous and almost about to explode.

Xu Yaoguang said sternly: “Wait a moment!”

“Don’t wait, let’s go!” Uncle Xu was ruthless.

The driver was also a member of the Xu family, and he stepped on the accelerator without changing his expression.

The car drove straight out.

Those who can be sent to M Continent are the most loyal guards of the Xu family. At this time, it goes without saying whose safety is more important. Xu Yaoguang is the next head of the Xu family, so his safety is naturally more important than Qin Ran’s.

In the rush, the car door was not closed tightly. Uncle Xu thought that if the car drove away, Xu Yaoguang would stop making trouble, so he held Xu Yaoguang’s hand forcefully and loosened it a little.

Xu Yaoguang didn’t say anything, just ripped off Uncle Xu’s hand and jumped out of the side door.

Press the accelerator to the bottom and the car will go very fast. Xu Yaoguang jumped to the side of the road, rolled again, and hit his head hard on the wall on the side of the road before stopping. He put his hands on the ground, got up, and ran back.

“Little Master Xu!” Uncle Xu’s eyes changed drastically, and the driver also slammed on the brakes. The screeching sound of brakes rang out in the night sky, and was masked by other sounds.

This car was filled with the backbone of the Xu family. The group looked at each other, said nothing, picked up their weapons and ran back.

As soon as they ran to the gate of District 3, they saw a girl wearing only a sweater walking out of the door slowly, holding a black backpack in her hand, followed by Carlo.

Cheng Mu was waiting at the gate.

Xu Yaoguang also stopped by the door. He put his hands on his knees, bent over and gasped for air. In the firelight, the sweat on his forehead could be vaguely seen.

Uncle Xu came to his senses: “Miss Qin, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and leave. The others have already retreated to a safe area…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Ran walked up to him. She poured out the contents of her backpack, and a dozen homemade explosive bags missing their primers fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

The Xu family, who had been wanting to talk, were silent at this time, and Uncle Xu was also stunned.

Qin Ran didn’t look at Uncle Xu or the others, and said directly to Carlo: “It’s time to get people back. They don’t want to disturb your base.” They just want to harass Bert.

Carlo looked at her deeply: “Excuse me, are you…”

Carlo had not seriously remembered Qin Ran’s name for two days, so he asked about it now.

“Qin Ran.” Qin Ran said calmly.

“Miss Qin, our Mas family has recorded what happened today.” Carlo took the walkie-talkie and went out directly. Without Qin Ran tonight, the losses would have been heavy. They had already heavily defended the first area, preventing anyone from approaching the first area, and secretly transferred Bert to the third area through the underground passage. Who knew this plan would be leaked.

Twenty minutes later, everyone was safely transferred to Area 2.

The rooms haven’t been arranged yet, everyone is on the first floor. Everyone looked solemn. Only Qin Ran was sitting on the chair at the dining table, crossing her legs and playing games with her head lowered. Cheng Mu also made her a cup of tea.

Outside the door, Uncle Xu looked past the crowd at Qin Ran, who seemed very leisurely under the lights, and couldn’t help but say: “Observation is not simple.”

In the situation just now, even the well-trained guards of the Xu family panicked, but Qin Ran He was unhurried from beginning to end and found the remaining explosives that had not been detonated. This cannot be described by simple luck. Whether it was the estimation of explosives or the number of enemies… not even Carlo had such accurate calculation capabilities.

Carlo is the first captain of the gladiatorial arena, and there is no doubt about his ability.

Uncle Xu was a little confused.

“What do you mean about Qin Ran… You also saw her expression when she just walked out of the fire. She was calmer than Mr. Carlo.”

Xu Yaoguang didn’t speak, but looked in Qin Ran’s direction. Qin Ran’s eyebrows were downcast. From this angle, only the side of her face could be seen, and no expression could be seen. She doesn’t have the sharpness she used to have, and she doesn’t have the impatient spirit, and even the depressive energy is gone.

Xu Yaoguang didn’t know what Qin Ran went through last year, but it was undeniable that she was very different from what he had imagined before. The whole person’s aura has been restrained, but it has a more unfathomable meaning.

While the two were talking, Carlo came in from outside after finishing the matter.

Xu Yaoguang retracted his gaze, looked at Carlo, and entered the room with Carlo: “What’s the damage?”

“We have detained the person you knocked unconscious. There are not many casualties. Mr. Bert is in the first area, and the doctor has passed. , I don’t know the news yet.” After this time, Carlo no longer looked down upon the Xu family. He looked at Qin Ran and thanked him again.

Qin Ran was recording Qin Ling’s screen. When she heard this sentence, she raised her eyebrows and said lightly: “That’s easy to say.” Her hand movements did not stop.

A few people said a few words, and the sound of brakes sounded again outside. The tall Bert came in. One of his eyes was very red. He glanced into the room. When he saw Qin Ran, his pupils shrank again unconsciously and he shook his head.

“Mr. Bert, how are you?” Carlo stood up directly.

“It’s okay, just my left eye was a little injured.” Bert didn’t care. In a life-and-death fight, this injury is nothing more than a trivial one.

The people around Bert looked at Xu Yaoguang and his group, but hesitated to speak: “It’s obviously them…”

Bert gave him a cold look and told him to shut up.

Qin Ran crossed her legs and looked at the two of them thoughtfully.

Carlo didn’t notice. He was now concerned about Bert’s injury and looked directly at the accompanying doctor: “What’s the specific situation?”

“The vision in the left eye is damaged, it’s hard to tell…” The doctor bent down.

“These villains!” Carlo slammed the table with a ferocious look on his face.

Carlo took his mobile phone and went out to contact the head of the Mas family. If something like this happened, he would naturally report it.

Bert didn’t leave, and Cheng Mu wasn’t afraid of Bert. He asked here and there. In the hall, other people gathered around, also very interested in this legendary underground boxing champion.

After Qin Ran finished recording the video, she stood up with her hands on the table and said hello to Cheng Mu: “I’m going out to make a call.”

Cheng Mu thought she was going to tell Cheng Juan that she was safe, so he nodded quickly.

Not far outside, Carlo held his cell phone and asked the doctor carefully. The doctor lowered his head and told the truth: “The peak duel, the vision in the left eye is blurred, it’s really hard to say…”

Bert is strong, but the success or failure of the game between masters can be determined by one move.

Qin Ran crossed her chest with her hands and looked at the two of them with her chin raised, not covering up her traces. Carlo had already seen her. He waved for the doctor to go down. He walked over in a few steps and frowned slightly.

Qin Ran didn’t wait for him to speak, and looked directly over, with a clear look in his eyes: “I’ll let you win.”

Carlo’s important task this time is to protect the boxing champion Burt. If something goes wrong with Burt, he cannot absolve himself of the blame. Burt is a horse. He is the only boxing champion left in the Si family. The Mas family runs the arena, and most of the forces are jealous of the Mas family’s territory. Basically every force has informants in the arena.

Cheng Shui and others have all fought to the death in the arena, and there are even more people who have challenged the boxing champion. There have been four boxing champions in the arena, and only Bert is from the Mas family. Although Bert has vision problems in his left eye, he is still the king of the arena. The Maas family really can’t find a better candidate than Bert for a while.

Hearing Qin Ran’s words, Carlo looked towards her and narrowed his eyes slightly: “What is your purpose?”

Qin Ran said seriously. After what happened with the homemade explosives just now, he would not think that Qin Ran was joking with him at this time. She must have something to rely on if she can say this.

“How much market do you allocate to the Xu family?” Qin Ran leaned against the wall and just looked at him quietly.

Carlo gave her a cryptic look: “One percent of the Southern District.”

Qin Ran lowered her eyes. One percent of the area is nothing to the Mas family, but it is the foundation for the Xu family, which has just entered M continent. She leaned against the wall, tapping her phone casually with her fingertips. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before looking at Carlo: “Replace it with one percent of the market in the Southern District Economic Center.”

This one percent of the market has nothing to do with Mas. The one percent that the family allocates at will is not the same as ten percent.

From Qinran’s words, it was clear that she understood the situation in M ​​Continent very well. The Southern District is only the territory of the Maas family’s arena. If they can get 100% of the management rights for three years, this 1% of the economic center market will be just a drop in the bucket for the Maas family.

What the Maas family just wants is control, and Carlo still has this power. He nodded simply: “Okay, you can tell me your method, and don’t think about the people in the medical organization. The doctor just now is the medical organization laboratory.” For people, this kind of eye injury can only heal on its own.”

Carlo originally thought that Qin Ran would introduce him to a doctor, but Qin Ran just glanced at him, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: “I I need you to go back to the underground arena to get something for me.”

She lowered her voice and said a few words to Carlo. As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Mu walked out with his cell phone and waved it towards Qin Ran: “Miss Qin, Master Juan is looking for you.”

“I got it.” Qin Ran paused, then put her hands in her pockets and walked into the house. .

Outside the door, Carlo was still standing there, seemingly stunned.

“Mr. Carlo, are you okay?” Cheng Mu hung up the phone and waved his hand in front of Carlo.

Only then did Carlo react. He raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Mu, paused slightly, shook his head, and hurried away with his phone.

Qin Ran returned to the hall, and everyone from the Xu family and the base were still gathered around the boxing champion Burt, with admiration and shock in their eyes.

Cheng Mu also followed Qin Ran back. When the Xu family members gathered around the table saw Qin Ran, they all involuntarily moved out of the way.

Cheng Mu didn’t seem to notice and looked at Bert: “Mr. Boxing Champion, how much is your punching power worth?”

What’s the value of your boxing power? Uncle Xu and others couldn’t help but paused and looked at each other. What is this term?

Bert glanced at Qin Ran before returning to Cheng Mu: “I test my fist strength every day. The last time it was 1598, it has not exceeded 1600.”

Cheng Mu: “…” He who always thought that 1000 was very powerful couldn’t help but look at Qinran.

“Don’t worry, you still have room to grow.” Qin Ran patted Cheng Mu on the shoulder, and then politely said goodbye to the people in the hall, “I’ll go up and rest first.” After

all this trouble, it was already three o’clock in the night. After saying that, she went directly upstairs.

Qin Ran seemed a bit aloof and hard to get in touch with. Except for Cheng Mu, he had little to say to anyone else. Bert watched her figure going upstairs, a trace of doubt flashed in his deep eyes.

There is no one who does not value strength, especially people like the underground boxing champion of State M. The guards sent by the Xu family are all extremely skilled, and they are all ardent fans of Bert now.

“Lord Bert,” a young man from the Xu family said excitedly, “Isn’t 1598 very powerful?”

“There are only five people with more than 1500 in the entire M state.” Bert did not speak, but the men beside him raised their chins. Xu Yaoguang looked surprised after hearing this.

Bert sat quietly at first, but when Qinran went upstairs, he couldn’t sit still and left after a few minutes.

Only the Xu family and his family were left standing where they were.
