Lu Zhaoying had his head tilted and his arm on the armrest, smiling casually.

But when he heard this, the smile on his lips froze slightly and his eyes narrowed. “They all went there?”

Lu Zhaoying was not on the same tune as them usually.

They heard that his “new sister” was from Yun Cheng and was still a high school student.

Ouyang Wei went to a written test this time, and there was a dinner party to celebrate in advance for her at noon. Lu Zhaoying’s matter was simply not worth mentioning.

It was normal not to come.

The man nodded and didn’t say more.

He turned to Qin Ran and said very politely, “Miss Qin, right? h.e.l.lo, I’m Jiang Dongye. You can just call me Brother Jiang.”

He looked elegant and gentle.

His nose bridge was high and his voice was gentle when he spoke.

He looked at Qin Ran quietly.

He wore a white sweater and had a good-looking face. Even his half-squinted eyes were beautiful.

But it was cold.

He was clearly in a proper posture, but inexplicably, there was a sense of unspeakable banditry to him.

Lu Zhaoying turned to look at Qin Ran and lifted his chin at him. “I mentioned him to you before, he’s Jiang Dongye.”

Qin Ran’s hand paused on the table when she heard this name. She looked up at Jiang Dongye calmly and said politely, “h.e.l.lo.”

… Gu Xichi’s old enemy.

She had even sent this person’s information to Gu Xichi.

Lu Zhaoying asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

Cheng Mu called him and Lu Zhaoying directly hung up, his expression dull.

“The boiled meat here is very delicious.” Lu Zhaoying pushed the dish to Qin Ran and instructed her to eat it quickly. Then, he asked, “You reached yesterday? Where are you staying?”

Qin Ran told him the address and Lu Zhaoying noted it down.

“The fish is good too, eat more.” Jiang Dongye wasn’t hungry and also put the fish in front of him in a different position.

On the other side, several people were waiting in another clubhouse.

Cheng Mu called Lu Zhaoying with his phone.

But Lu Zhaoying refused to pick up.

He only knew that the person Lu Zhaoying was talking about was Qin Ran when he arrived at the clubhouse.

“Why didn’t you tell me that it was Miss Qin?” Cheng Mu turned and glanced at the people around him.

“Isn’t it just a little girl that Young Master Lu knows, why are you so nervous?” A man with blond hair poured himself a gla.s.s of wine casually. “Do you know how many sisters he has in a year? Your G.o.ddess isn’t easy to make an appointment with, and today is a feast made in advance.”

Another person nodded and echoed, “We can just make another appointment some other day for him to bring his sister over. Otherwise, why don’t we call Young Master Lu and ask him to bring his sister along?”

Someone pressed down on Cheng Mu’s shoulder and forced him to sit.

Someone took out his phone from his pocket and wanted to ask Lu Zhaoying to bring his “sister” over.

But the call didn’t get through.

Lu Zhaoying didn’t pick up.

The people originally in good moods put down their matters at hand, and the bustling room gradually became silent.

Cheng Mu stood up again, took out his phone, and turned his head. “Continue playing, I’ll go find Young Master Lu.”

He was always expressionless, but his face seemed even colder today.

When he left, the people in the room exchanged glances. After a while, someone touched his head. “His reaction is a little weird. Isn’t Ouyang Wei his G.o.ddess? … Should we find Young Master Lu?”

“It’s just a high school student, what’s the big deal? Young Master Lu wouldn’t be so petty.” The blond man withdrew his gaze and put his wine gla.s.s back on the table absentmindedly.

The others thought about it carefully and also seemed to think it wasn’t a big deal.

**

When Cheng Mu found Lu Zhaoying’s room, Qin Ran and the rest had almost finished their meal.

Lu Zhaoying looked up at Cheng Mu, crossed his arms, and lifted his chin. “Why? Aren’t you meeting your G.o.ddess?”

Cheng Mu touched his nose. “I didn’t know that Miss Qin came.”

After a pause, he couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Qin, didn’t you return home to visit your relatives?”

“She only said she was visiting her relatives, not that she was returning to Ninghai Village. Are you dumb?” Lu Zhaoying looked at Cheng Mu mockingly.

Qin Ran glanced at Lu Zhaoying expressionlessly.

Cheng Mu nodded.

He glanced at Qin Ran. He really didn’t expect Miss Qin to have relatives in Beijing.

At the mention of Ninghai Town, Jiang Dongye narrowed his eyes slightly.

He put down his chopsticks and said quietly, “Ninghai Town is good. I heard there was a very famous doctor there.”

“Jiang Dongye, you’re too much.” Lu Zhaoying stood up and couldn’t help but kick him. “Have you gone crazy trying to catch Gu Xichi? How could you ask Qin Ran about him? You can’t even catch him, how could she have seen him before?”

Jiang Dongye also stood up and coughed. “Sorry, it’s a habit.”

Lu Zhaoying picked up the car key and lowered his head. “Qin Ran, I’ll send you back to the hotel first.”

Qin Ran responded slowly. She stood up, pulled her hat over her head, and covered half of her face with it. “It’s right there, I’ll go back by myself.”

Lu Zhaoying and the other two men were too worried to let her go back alone.

“Where are you staying, Miss Qin?” Cheng Mu followed them.

Lu Zhaoying said the hotel name.

Cheng Mu nodded. “What a coincidence, it’s where the banquet is being held tonight.”

“I heard there was a banquet tonight at the hotel.” Qin Ran squinted and walked slowly.

Jiang Dongye reached out and b.u.t.toned his trench coat before asking Qin Ran in a gentlemanly tone, “The hotel food is good, do you want to eat something tonight? I can send an invitation to you? If not, I could send you a portion of the food?”

They got off the elevator and it was windy outside.

Qin Ran pulled her collar up and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Thanks, but there’s no need.”

The three of them sent Qin Ran back to her hotel room, 2819.

Lu Zhaoying instructed Qin Ran not to open the door casually.

He waited for the door to close.

Cheng Mu turned around and said expressionlessly, “How long does Miss Qin have to work part-time for her to stay here?”

He was a little worried.

Lu Zhaoying took out his card and told Cheng Mu to help Qin Ran pay for the room.

Jiang Dongye thought about Ninghai Town and knew that Qin Ran’s family background was probably not very good.

He withdrew Lu Zhaoying’s card and also gave his card to Cheng Mu. “There’s no pa.s.sword.”

Cheng Mu took it expressionlessly.

He didn’t dare to say that he also wanted to stay a few days.

After Cheng Mu got off the elevator, Jiang Dongye pressed the b.u.t.ton for the ground floor.

“How is she?” Lu Zhaoying raised an eyebrow. He touched his earrings and asked Jiang Dongye very frivolously.

Jiang Dongye nodded and took out a cigarette. “Not bad, and her personality is good too. It’s rare.”

“She’s better than Young Master Xu at maths. Do you even know how perverted the Xu family is?” The elevator stopped at the parking lot. Lu Zhaoying couldn’t help but boast as he took out his car key.

“But I heard that her studies aren’t good?” Jiang Dongye was stunned.

Lu Zhaoying put his hand on the door of the car but didn’t enter. He narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t take the physics paper, but her total score is 646. Besides, where did you hear about Qin Ran?”

“It seems like it’ll be easy to enter Beijing University.” Jiang Dongye didn’t mention the matter and changed the topic.

“Say…” Jiang Dongye thought for a moment and blocked the car so he couldn’t close the car door. “Do you think Master Juan will help me again if I get her to beg him?”

Lu Zhaoying looked at him as if he had gone crazy trying to catch Gu Xichi.

In the evening.

Lin Wan came to the hotel with Qin Yu to find Ning Qing.

The car was parked in the parking lot, and there were several luxury cars around. It was obvious with their license plate that they couldn’t be provoked.

The hotel security told them very politely that they couldn’t leave the main entrance for the time being.

Lin Wan nodded in understanding.

Then, she turned and explained to Qin Yu, “Someone is probably having a large banquet here, and the main entrance is reserved for the guests. It’s not easy to have a banquet here.”

The side door wasn’t far from the main door.

Qin Yu saw a long red carpet spread not far away with black-clothed bodyguards lined up on both sides.

It was very grand.

“What banquet is this? The cars parked there look expensive.” Qin Yu didn’t look away.

“I’m not sure, but there are only a few families who can book this place.” Lin Wan narrowed her eyes. “There are many people in the capital who would rack their brains to enter such a banquet.”

Qin Yu gasped a little. Even Lin Wan didn’t know what kind of banquet this was, so she had never been in this circle before.

She followed behind Lin Wan to Gate 2 and couldn’t help but look back again.

She thought about what the “few families” were like.

The elevator was also separated to one side today, and there were security guards and bodyguards watching the whole process and making sure the protection was airtight.

Qin Yu withdrew her gaze and seemed to see a familiar figure among a bunch of people.

His tall figure was cold.

From the back, it looked a little like Xu Yaoguang.

She paused.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Wan saw that Qin Yu didn’t catch up and paused to glance at her.

Qin Yu narrowed her eyes and looked over again. The group of people disappeared at the end of the corridor.

“I thought I saw my cla.s.smate.” Qin Yu bit her lip, uncertain.

“Your cla.s.smate? That’s unlikely.” Lin Wan also glanced in the same direction, then she smiled and shook her head. “The people who can go in are extremely wealthy. Who is your cla.s.smate? If it’s someone from the Feng family, I might believe it.”

Qin Yu looked away and also thought it was impossible. “I must have seen wrongly.”

After thinking for a while, she took out her phone and sent a message to Xu Yaoguang—

[Which hotel are you staying in?]

She got a message from Xu Yaoguang when she reached the 58th floor: [I’m staying in my relative’s house]

**

The 28th floor.

Qin Ran sat at the table and poured the contents of her backpack onto the table.

Everything was still there except for the bottle of water she had packed into her bag.

Her mobile phone lit up. It was Gu Xichi asking for a video call, and Qin Ran directly answered.

“It’s abnormal.” Gu Xichi had just taken a shower and his hair was still wet. He walked to the living room with his phone and opened a can of beer. “Qin Ran, it wasn’t the Hacker League that helped me conceal my information.”

Qin Ran was too lazy to scold him. She just put the other things except for the foreign book back into her bag and started flipping through the book. “Oh.”

“It wasn’t Chief Matthew either, so who do you think it was?” Gu Xichi took a sip of beer and said without waiting for her reply, “Forget it, there’s no use asking you. Didn’t I tell you last time that Matthew had your name on the list and someone was investigating you? I told him to come over and I looked at it during the day, but I couldn’t find anything. I’ll send it to you later.”

Qin Ran raised an eyebrow and said frivolously, “Send it to me.”

Who dared to investigate her?

“It must be because you didn’t do a clean job when you were investigating. I won’t let you help me investigate in the future.” Gu Xichi put down his beer and continued, “Jiang Dongye is a lunatic, I can’t let him catch you.”

Someone rang the doorbell outside.

She could faintly hear Lu Zhaoying talking to Jiang Dongye.

“I’m hanging up.” Qin Ran hung up directly.

Then, she opened the door.

“I brought food for you.” Lu Zhaoying stood in front of Jiang Dongye, carrying a bag in his hand.

Behind him was Cheng Mu and a man who was about as tall as him.

The four people made Qin Ran’s room appear small when they came in.

Lu Zhaoying put the bag of food on the table and glanced around the room, unsatisfied.

“This is Cheng Jin.” Lu Zhaoying pointed to the man beside Cheng Mu.

Cheng Jin took a step forward solemnly and said seriously, “h.e.l.lo, Miss Qin.”

Cheng Mu skillfully arranged the dishes and then picked up the pot in the room to boil water to make tea for Qin Ran.

Cheng Jin and Jiang Dongye saw this for the first time and were shocked.

Lu Zhaoying was accustomed to it, however, so he sat down and asked, “Qin Ran, have you met your relative? Where is he? What does he do? The capital is our place, you can tell him to find me if he has any trouble.”

Cheng Mu poured tea for Qin Ran and glanced over curiously.

She definitely wouldn’t contact the Lin family, so she still had other relatives in Beijing?

Did she have a family member working here?

Qin Ran thanked Cheng Mu, then sat down and picked up her chopsticks. She said vaguely, “He’s a showman, I’m going to find him tomorrow.”

Cheng Mu and the others nodded, understanding her.

“It’s hard work,” Jiang Dongye said with a good temper, his voice soft. “You can tell him to follow me, I just so happen to lack a staff recently.”

They were talking when the doorbell rang again.

Cheng Mu put down the kettle and opened the door.

When he saw the person standing outside, Cheng Mu felt like he had time traveled for a moment. “Elder… Elder Wei?”
