Qin Ran’s hands trembled as she held the teacup.

The Xu family had been trying to establish a foothold in Continent M for years. Some time ago, it even specially asked her and Xu Yaoguang to go there…

What exactly was it for?

It made no sense because the Xu family already had the Research Inst.i.tute. Elder Xu knew that she was not very interested in the Research Inst.i.tute but still wanted to make her the heir…

While Cheng Juan and her pondered over these questions, Cheng Jin and Cheng Mu opened the door for Cheng Tu.

“Boss!” Cheng Tu immediately strode in and looked at them excitedly.

Qin Ran looked up. When she saw Cheng Tu, she guessed that Giant Crocodile wasn’t far away.

“Miss Qin!” Cheng Tu greeted her respectfully.

Qin Ran wanted to talk to Cheng Tu about Giant Crocodile, but because of the topic she was discussing with Cheng Juan, she was in no mood to question him.

She only greeted Cheng Tu and went upstairs.

“Boss, is Miss Qin ok?” Cheng Tu was uncouth and carefree. He was confused after looking at Qin Ran’s leaving back view.

Cheng Juan knew that Qin Ran was very troubled. He shook his head. “How’s your situation?”

“I can still control the position in Beijing, but…” Cheng Tu frowned and hesitated. “I found some traces of Giant Crocodile coming here on the way. If 129 is involved, things will be complicated.”

None of the five elders of 129 was easy to mess with. If any of them was involved, things would be blown out of proportion.

“What do you think Chang Ning is thinking? He doesn’t want to stay in his base at Continent F and decided to join in the fun in the capital?” Cheng Huo couldn’t control his temper. “I really want to see if they are involved. Let me be in charge of the 129 investigation. As long as I get hold of 129’s port, I will definitely be able to find something.”

“Cheng Tu, you’ve been feuding with Giant Crocodile for years. Do you think it’s possible that he can collaborate with us?” Cheng Shui glanced at Cheng Huo and asked Cheng Tu directly.

After all, among the other forces, Cheng Tu rarely worked with Giant Crocodile.

“I don’t know, it’s unlikely.” Cheng Tu shook his head. “However, he probably won’t cooperate with anyone.”

Cheng Juan placed his hand on the table and said faintly, “Let’s carry on with the plan.”

“Yes!” The other five nodded.

…

Upstairs, Qin Ran opened the drawer of her desk and took out a heavy black touch-screen phone from it.

The phone was automatically unlocked as soon as she took it out.

“Four-dimensional virtual search engine.” Qin Ran placed the phone aside casually and turned on her computer. “Input the source code into my computer.”

A pleasing tone rang from the heavy black phone.

In less than a second, Qin Ran’s computer received a copy of the source code.

For the time being, Qin Ran set aside her thoughts about her grandfather, the Qin family, and the Xu family.

She knew in her heart that Cheng Juan was 80% right.

If this was the case…

Her grandparents owned the Qin family too much.

Qin Ran pursed her lips and started typing on the keyboard and studying the source code.

This phone had been in her hands since she was born, and Qin Ran didn’t even know what it was. Chen Shulan only said that her grandfather left it for her.

She only realized that the phone was unusual when she first had a cold war with Ning Qing.

When she sat on the stairs alone that day, the phone suddenly turned on by itself. A virtual projection and some codes appeared.

Qin Ran’s initial interest in computers stemmed from this seemingly refined phone. She had never charged it, but it was still able to work.

Qin Ran typed in some simulation codes. At this speed, she needed some time before it was ready to be sent to Lu Zhixin.

After some time, the phone in her pocket rang.

Qin Ran took it out and saw that Master Wei had called her.

She was startled. Why was he contacting her at this time?

“Teacher?” Qin Ran put on her earphones and stopped typing.

When Master Wei heard her voice, he paused and said with a smile, “Ran Ran, are you ok?”

Qin Ran was focused on coding and did not notice Master Wei’s strange tone.

She raised her eyebrows. “Why wouldn’t I be ok?”

“No, I just heard about what happened to the Cheng family.” Master Wei nodded. “It’s good that you’re fine. If you need anything, remember to tell me directly.”

“Okay.” Qin Ran nodded.

The two exchanged a few more words regarding the recent events in the capital before hanging up.

At Continent M.

w.a.n.g Zifeng looked at Master Wei. “Teacher, didn’t you say that you wanted Senior to come to Continent M’s a.s.sociation? You wanted her to shock the students you’re teaching now.”

After hearing that, Master Wei shook his head. “It seems that something happened in the capital…”

“Will Senior be fine?” w.a.n.g Zifeng was startled.

What Master Wei was talking about was definitely not simple.

“Your senior will come to Continent M tomorrow,” Master Wei said as he took out his phone to call the Mas family.

…

The next day.

When Qin Ran got out of bed, she received a call from Butler Xu.

His voice was the same as before, but he was a little anxious. “Miss Qin, can you go to Continent M with the Young Master for a while? Old Master really needs your help, or else I won’t be begging you now…”

“Continent M?” Qin Ran went downstairs and paused on her way to the dining table.

Cheng Juan pushed a gla.s.s of milk to her side. Hearing her voice, he turned to look at her.
