Chapter 458: Sister Ran Being So Righteous

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Someone took her order?

Cheng Wenru was slightly stunned. She remembered Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Mu saying that it was rare for 129 to take anyone’s orders.

But she couldn’t think so much now.

Cheng Wenru opened the notification—

Recipient: Giant Crocodile.

Her hands shook.

She took a sip of tea and then closed her eyes for a moment, before opening for further details—

Recipient: Giant Crocodile.

“Screech—”

Cheng Wenru s.h.i.+fted her chair back and looked up.

It was so loud, everyone in the hall turned to look at her.

Cheng Raohan hadn’t been doing too well in the Cheng family recently, as the majority of them were more inclined to supporting Cheng Juan. He looked at Cheng Wenru and asked a little unpleasantly, “What’s with you?”

“Dad.” She ignored him and turned to Old Master Cheng. “I’m going to Continent M tomorrow.”

Old Master Cheng rejected her right away. “No. Don’t follow in the footsteps of your Third Brother.”

It was bad enough that Cheng Juan had gone away, even though he still called back often.

If Cheng Wenru left, he would go bald from the stress. 1

Cheng Wenru put on her jacket and straightened up. “Giant Crocodile from 129 will help me.”

“Giant Crocodile isn’t even…” Old Master Cheng subconsciously rejected.

But something suddenly came to mind, and he looked up with bright eyes. “Who did you say again?”

Even Ouyang Wei turned around. “Eldest Lady? Giant Crocodile hasn’t been involved in 129 matters for months. He seems to have gone completely offline…”

“I don’t know, but that’s what I saw on my cell phone.” Cheng Wenru slowly raised her cell phone under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Ouyang Wei took the cell phone over and scrutinized it.

She didn’t scroll further.

She just kept her eyes on this page, but it said enough.

It really was the official 129 app, and it really was a notification from Giant Crocodile.

“But, I’ve got to thank you for sending me the link address last night.” Cheng Wenru thanked her.

Ouyang Wei shook her head. She seemed calm, but her heart wasn’t.

She couldn’t figure out why this senior member who’d almost retired from the scene would take up this order…

What was so different about this order?

Everyone in the Cheng family had their eyes on Cheng Wenru because of this order.

After all, Giant Crocodile was one of the five founding members of 129.

The heavy atmosphere livened up quite a bit.

Those who’d been focused on Ouyang Wei before this, including Cheng Raohan, also s.h.i.+fted their focus.

Old Master Cheng stood up and walked towards her. “You’re…”

Cheng Wenru thought about Qin Ran and then shook her head. “I’ll tell you when I’m done asking about it.”

“Since when did Second Sis have anything to do with 129?” Cheng Raohan turned to Cheng Wenru. He seemed anxious.

She kept her chin rested on her hand and remained silent.

For fear of angering Cheng Raohan.

Cheng Raohan glanced at him. “Who has she been meeting recently?”

“Besides Miss Qin, Eldest Lady hasn’t been meeting anyone else…” The subordinate paused for a while before saying, “On that note, that Miss Qin…”

He was about to say that there was something fishy about her.

Cheng Raohan didn’t want to hear about Qin Ran anymore. Because of her, the First Hall Master had suddenly chosen to be on Cheng Juan’s side, as his daughter was a fan. 2

He never thought that the First Hall Master would take this as a child’s game.

“Alright, you can go.” Cheng Raohan waved him away.

The subordinate bowed and took his leave.

On the other side.

School.

Qin Ran had a gathering at night with Brother Ye, Nan Huiyao, and a few others.

Last night, she wrote down the individual strategic progressions and delegated the tasks among them.

Brother Ye joined them a little late and decided to take up a few more on his own to not take advantage of the rest.

Qin Ran could tell what he was thinking and decided that it was within his ability to complete them.

So, she didn’t say much.

If she didn’t allow him to take on these tasks, he’d feel even more pressurized.

Having pa.s.sed down the message and given the relevant instructions, Qin Ran gave Cheng Jin a call to arrange for a trip to Continent M.

She knew that Cheng Jin would be better at arranging for the flight tickets and itineraries than herself.

Especially now that it was the Winter Break peak season. It was hard to get air tickets.

Cheng Jin was shocked to hear from her. “Miss Qin, you’re going to Continent M too? Eldest Lady just told me about it this afternoon. Hold on, I’ll send both of your information to Cheng Shui. The both of you can head over together tomorrow.”

Cheng Jin was always quick to get tickets.

It was for 9:40 in the morning the following day.

Qin Ran didn’t get him to tell Cheng Juan that she was going along.

When she arrived at the airport, Cheng Wenru was already waiting with her luggage.

“Cheng Mu, where did you get the tickets from?” Cheng Wenru was in a black blazer and appeared rather serious but stylish. “Secretary Li told me last night that they were out of tickets.”

Cheng Mu responded expressionlessly, “Got it on the app.” 3

Cheng Wenru was speechless.

The three of them checked in and boarded the plane.

They happened to be sitting in the same row in the business cla.s.s cabin.

After getting seated, Cheng Wenru took off her blazer and turned to Qin Ran. “Ran Ran, how did you place my order last night?”

She wasn’t silly.

Given Ouyang Wei’s reaction and this person named Giant Crocodile…

The order shouldn’t have been taken up so quickly, especially by a senior member.

The only factor that could’ve changed things was Qin Ran.

After the plane had taken off, Qin Ran turned on her laptop and looked through the ICNE lab a.n.a.lysis. Upon hearing Cheng Wenru, she took off one side of her earphones.

She thought about it for a while before saying to her, “I placed it on the webpage.”

Cheng Wenru was speechless.

Now she knew why Cheng Mu had been so hard to deal with recently. 4

Qin Ran did not say much, but her reaction gave Cheng Wenru an idea of the situation.

It must have had something to do with her.

Cheng Wenru took a deep breath. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were up in the sky, she would’ve turned her cell phone on…

They arrived in Continent M at about four in the afternoon.

Cheng Shui was standing at the entrance in a black suit.

Cheng Wenru did not see him. She looked down and took out her cell phone.
