Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At 9 pm.

Qin Ran arrived at the airport.

Ning Wei and Mu Nan walked beside her.

Cheng Mu pulled their suitcases.

Glancing at the exit, Qin Ran saw Cheng Shui and paused for a while.

“Little Aunt, this is Cheng Shui. You can call him by his name,” Qin Ran said to Ning Wei.

Ning Wei quickly said, “Hello, Mr. Cheng.”

“Miss Qin, Madam Ning, you don’t have to be so polite with me. Just call me Cheng Shui.” Cheng Shui greeted Qin Ran calmly and then took the suitcase from Cheng Mu before explaining to Miss Qin kindly. “Master Juan went to Continent F to attend to some matters.”

As for what happened, Cheng Shui didn’t say anything.

Qin Ran glanced at him with her arms folded, and her eyes narrowed slightly. “Continent F?”

“He has business to attend to.” Cheng Shui smiled lightly.

“Okay.” Qin Ran believed it for now.

“Cheng Shui, take my Little Aunt and them back first. I’ll go to the Research Institute.” Qin Ran thought for a while before turning her head.

The Qin family had Lu Zhixin and a group of people resisting despite the Yunguang Consortium being in trouble last time. Not only did they not lose their vitality, but they were now flourishing.

But no one in the Research Institute stood up to resist.

Qin Ran worried about the situation there.

The others were eager for their Plan B that involved cooperation with Continent M.

Reaching out to put on his gold-rimmed glasses, Cheng Shui turned to Cheng Mu. “Cheng Mu, take Madam Ning and the others back first. I’ll accompany Miss Qin to the Research Institute.”

Before Cheng Juan left, he had instructed him to follow Qin Ran every step of the way.

“Why are you going to the Research Institute at this hour?” Ning Wei looked at Qin Ran. “It’s past nine.”

“It’s okay. Almost all the people in my laboratory live there.” Qin Ran reached out to put on a mask. “It’s not convenient today, but I’ll bring you to see the laboratory in two days.”

Since Qin Ran said so, Ning Wei didn’t persuade her anymore and only lowered her eyes.

She had been silent ever since her arrival in Beijing. She didn’t talk much and seemed deep in thoughts.

Qin Ran knew that Ning Wei was in a complicated mood, so she turned to Mu Nan. “Cheng Jin will handle your transfer information. Go back and let Cheng Mu take you to find him later.”

After relaying some instructions, Qin Ran split ways with them.

Beijing Airport was rather big, so it took Qin Ran a while to leave.

Cheng Shui drove.

Many people were at the airport despite it being 10 pm now, so Cheng Shui was still in a traffic jam.

Qin Ran sat in the backseat and didn’t do much except taking her mobile phone and replacing it with another card.

As soon as she put in the other card, countless messages came in.

She looked at the pile of information for a long time before clicking on one and replying to it.

She had just replied to the message when her phone rang.

It was Chang Ning.

She picked up and put the phone next to her ear. “You’re looking for me?”

Was he looking for her to drink?

She narrowed her eyes.

“Not really.” Chang Ning’s eyes sank slightly. “There’s another powerful person in Beijing now, whose background is rather impressive. Where are you now?”

“A member of the Yunguang Consortium?” Qin Ran leaned back, her long eyelashes lowered, and her voice casual.

She didn’t seem surprised.

“You know who it is?” Chang Ning was a little surprised. “Since you know, there’s no need for me to remind you. If you need our manpower, just tell me.”

“Don’t worry.” Qin Ran looked at the flashing street lights outside.

He hung up directly.

After leaving the airport, fewer cars were outside.

The journey was smooth.

At 10:05 pm, the car stopped in front of the Research Institute.

At this time, most of the buildings there were closed, and the parking lot was also very quiet. Only the headlights were turned on, and no one could be seen.

It was too quiet.

Cheng Shui got out of the car first, his senses on alert.

He swept past the parking lot and narrowed his eyes slightly. While taking out the phone in his pocket, he said to Qin Ran, “Miss Qin, something seems wrong.”

As he was talking, Qin Ran got out of the car.

She closed the door with a “bang”. “Don’t worry, nothing will happen for now.”

She stuck a hand in her pocket and calmly walked to the experimental floor.

Cheng Shui jogged after her, looking around him all the way. He didn’t sense anyone nearby but still informed his staff to keep a lookout at the Research Institute.

Qin Ran stopped downstairs and looked at Room 301. The lights were turned on.

Nan Huiyao and Scholar Liao were probably inside, so she directly went in.

Without waiting for the elevator, she directly walked to the third floor.

Room 301 was extremely lively. Besides five scholars led by Scholar Liao, there were also two other first-level researchers.

Scholar Sheng and Scholar Tu.

And two other researchers.

At this time, the two were observing the test bench and the contents of the experiment as arranged by Qin Ran and Scholar Liao. One of them instructed Nan Huiyao, “Bring over the voltmeter on the left.”

“Pour me a glass of warm water.”

“Ye Mingqiao, explain to me, what does this step mean?”

“…”

Room 301 was Qin Ran’s exclusive laboratory in the Research Institute. Not to mention Scholar Liao, Nan Huiyao, Chu Heng, and Brother Ye were all people she wanted to cultivate.

Qin Ran stopped at the door and narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Junior Qin Ran, you’re here.” The woman sitting alone on the test bench looked up and glanced at her. “Help me print this information.”

She threw a USB flash drive to her side.

It was Zuo Qiurong, whom she hadn’t met for a long time.

“Bam—”

The USB flash drive fell to the ground.

Frowning, Zuo Qiurong asked sarcastically, “Qin Ran, what do you mean?”

With a completely cold expression, Qin Ran was about to say something when Brother Ye walked over with a glass of water. He quickly picked up the USB flash drive and said, “I’ll do it for you.”

Zuo Qiurong glanced at them obscurely.

Brother Ye patted Qin Ran’s shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

Since it was for Brother Ye, Qin Ran held herself back for the time being.

Brother Ye walked over to her after typing out the file. “Let’s talk.”

Chu Heng and Nan Huiyao also followed.

“Where’s Scholar Liao?” Qin Ran glanced at the laboratory and asked lightly.

“After the Yunguang Consortium’s incident, the Ouyang family got half of the Research Institute’s shares. So many people want Plan B, so they had already planned to occupy it in advance… Scholar Liao has the core content in Director Fang’s building,” Brother Ye said.

“The Ouyang family?” Qin Ran nodded. “I see.”

“Junior.” Brother Ye recognized her stubborn expression. “Don’t be impulsive. Chu Heng said that Ouyang Wei has a strong background, and people are supporting her in the dark…”

As a descendant of a prestigious family, Chu Heng naturally knew 129 was behind Ouyang Wei.

Nodding frantically, Nan Huiyao followed her. “Ran Ran, let’s just give up Plan B. It’s nothing much.”

“We’ve transferred the core technology according to Scholar Liao’s instructions. Don’t be reckless, let’s take it step by step and then think of a way. You should know better than me what kind of person Ouyang Wei is.” Chu Heng also stepped forward.

Although they kept their voices low, Zuo Qiurong managed to eavesdrop at the side.

She glanced at Qin Ran mockingly. Her heart immediately felt relieved and refreshed.

She smiled coldly. Think of a way? What way could they possibly think of?

But at the door, Qin Ran suddenly stopped!

She tilted her head and smiled. “I was thinking, you might not know yet, but I just sent Ouyang Wei to the heavy-duty prison two days ago.”
