Chapter 540: a.s.sa.s.sination, 129 Concealed Its Many Shortcomings

Chang Ning looked at her calmly.

He reached out and pressed his temples. “Alright. I’ll give it to you.”

Ming Hai was a very old person.

Very few people in the industry knew about him.

When he became famous, Qin Ran wasn’t born yet. Chang Ning had news about him, but Qin Ran didn’t know much.

“Thank you.” Qin Ran raised her teacup to him.

Chang Ning glanced at her and turned the radio back on. He hummed a few words before saying, “If there’s something, just look for me. 129 won’t cause trouble, but it’s not afraid of it.”

He knew Qin Ran earlier than other people.

Chang Ning was famous in the Continent F, but now he had washed his hands clean. He treated Qin Ran like his own daughter.

“Ok.” Qin Ran smiled.

“There are some clues from the things that you investigated before. The Qin family’s affairs are related to the Ouyang family’s. You should know that the Ouyang family is not simple,” Chang Ning said. “Considering your position now and that guy from the Cheng family… Forget it, let’s not talk about him since he’s not the problem. However, you must be careful of the Xu family. The Mas family’s support for Xu s.h.i.+ying is very weak.”

Qin Ran pursed her lips, and her face became serious. “I understand.”

Princ.i.p.al Xu had always been worried about her safety, and Qin Ran also helped the Xu family gain the biggest advantage…

However, according to Chang Ning, the Xu family was afraid of being the next Qin family…

“Giant Crocodile will arrive in the next two days.” Chang Ning paused and remembered something. “When that time comes, he will look for you and He Chen. If there’s anything, just tell him directly.”

Chang Ning didn’t really like seeing bloodshed after was.h.i.+ng his hands clean.

However, he used Giant Crocodile as a hitman.

Chang Ning didn’t want to bear any burdens.

The five elders in 129 had sworn friends.h.i.+ps.

It could be said that if either of the five encountered a problem, the other four would take action without hesitation.

After all…

A lone wolf had too many shortcomings.

After receiving the news, Qin Ran stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing her back view, Chang Ning couldn’t help but say, “As a girl, you should see less bloodshed.”

Qin Ran briefly acknowledged him.

She started to remember something, lazily waved at him, and said, “I’m not taking any requests currently.”

“Got it,” Chang Ning casually said.

…

In the Xu family’s house.

Elder Xu sat in the large hall and stared at Ouyang Wei.

“Ran Ran? I won’t hide that Ran Ran is the only heir that I’ve chosen. This will not change,” Elder Xu said indifferently.

Ouyang Wei did not drink her tea. She only sat straight and smiled. “Really? In that case, I won’t bother you anymore.”

After that, she immediately walked out.

Butler Xu sent her off.

When she entered her car, Ouyang Wei’s expression darkened. She really didn’t know what was going on with the families in Beijing.

Why was Cheng Wenru protecting Qin Ran? Why was Elder Xu protecting Qin Ran?

Especially Cheng Juan…

Ouyang Wei dug her nails into her palms.

After some time, she finally made a phone call, and it was finally answered after a few attempts. She respectfully said, “Elder Ming, I’ve just seen Xu s.h.i.+ying… Ok.”

Once Ouyang Wei walked away, a group of people gathered in the Xu family hall.

Second Uncle Xu looked at Princ.i.p.al Xu. “Elder Xu, what does Ouyang Wei mean? She has something against Miss Qin…”

“She’s definitely attacking Ran Ran,” Princ.i.p.al Xu said solemnly. “No matter what, Ran Ran’s ident.i.ty as the heir to the Research Inst.i.tute will not change. It should be hers.”

After planning for so long, he finally had connections in Continent M.

The only problem was with Cheng Juan.

Decades ago, he did not dare to be impulsive, but after many years, he was able to stand his own ground now…

It should be Qin Ran’s, and Princ.i.p.al Xu wouldn’t give in to anyone.

“Watch Ran Ran’s side closely in the coming days,” Princ.i.p.al Xu said to Second Uncle Xu. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy. “If there’s something wrong, immediately let me know.”

“Yes,” Second Uncle Xu responded.

He was also a little troubled.

However, he couldn’t explain why.

That night, another team of guards from the Xu family appeared in Ting Lan.

…

Two days later.

In the Research Inst.i.tute.

The Research Inst.i.tute housed a lot of information. Qin Ran had been here for days and had looked through many chronicles.

She found a lot of information that 129 did not have, but most of them were related to research, and she could only make some inferences from the research conclusions.

Qin Ran kept a copy of the information and was about to go back and ask Cheng Juan about it.

Just as she was about to leave.

She received news from Giant Crocodile. It was a brief message that said he was about to set off.

Qin Ran took out her computer and helped him cover his tracks before continuing her own experiment.

“Little Junior.” Brother Ye took out a report from the pile and handed it to her. “This is our latest research. You can ask the Xu family for its opinions at night.”

Qin Ran took it. This was the research article that the Xu family wanted to send to the Continent M market.

She responded, “Ok.”

After what Chang Ning said, she wanted to clarify some things with Elder Xu.

In the evening, Cheng Mu and Cheng Shui picked her up as usual.

Qin Ran went to the Xu family.

“The boss has gone to see Cheng Tu, Miss Qin. Cheng Tu will probably reach when you’re back,” said Cheng Shui after thinking about it.

Qin Ran nodded slightly.

Giant Crocodile’s rival, Cheng Tu, was also coming to Beijing…

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the Xu family’s house.

Qin Ran went in to look for Princ.i.p.al Xu.

However, she saw Butler Xu instead. Butler Xu said respectfully, “Miss Qin, Old Master has gone to pick Young Master Xu. Will you wait for him?”

“No need.” Qin Ran shook her head. She handed the research article to the butler and bade him farewell before leaving.

After Qin Ran left.

Second Uncle Xu anxiously asked, “Have you forgotten that Miss Qin battled in the Continent M Arena? Why didn’t you tell her?”

Butler Xu pursed his lips. “Tell her about what? Tell her that the Old Master was a.s.sa.s.sinated because he didn’t want to change the heir of the Research Inst.i.tute? What do you think she will do considering her character? Directly look for Ouyang Wei? After Old Master and Old Master Qin protected her for so long, I won’t let her be harmed by Ouyang Wei! Contact Young Master Xu and ask him to come back.”
