The black item resembled the key of a certain luxury car, but there was no symbol on it…

“It’s nothing,” Mu Nan said calmly.

Butler Mu hesitated. He thought that the car key looked like it was for the L’s family Rolls Royce Phantom…

They were limited edition, and the L family had one.

In the entire S city, only Young Master Mo had one as well.

The reason why Butler Mu was aware of this key was that Mu Zining had been in Young Master Mo’s car before.

However, there were only 50 cars of this model worldwide, and there were less than 10 in the country. Even if the Mu family had money, they probably wouldn’t be able to get it. He was probably wrong.

Seeing that Butler Mu wasn’t paying attention anymore, Mu Nan frowned a little.

He didn’t know what it was, but just from Cheng Mu’s jealous expression, he guessed that it wasn’t simple and was prepared to look into it later.

If it was too expensive, he would definitely return it to his rich brother-in-law.

Thinking of this, Mu Nan had a headache.

Compared to an affluent couple, a poor person like him really couldn’t understand what Cheng Juan was thinking.

…

The group didn’t talk much. Besides Old Master Mu, Qin Ran and Mu Nan didn’t have much to say and were quite cold.

When he was about to leave after dinner, Old Master Mu told Butler Mu to give a present to Qin Ran.

“This is…” Qin Ran looked at the gift in Butler Mu’s hands and frowned slightly.

“I heard Xiao Nan say that you took care of his entire family.” Old Master Mu sighed and personally handed the gift to her. “It isn’t much, so I hope you accept it.”

His eyes were sincere, and he coughed several times when he spoke, appearing weak.

Qin Ran was forced to accept it. “Thank you.”

Seeing that she had accepted it, Old Master Mu felt relieved.

When the group went downstairs, he invited Qin Ran to the Mu family’s house. However, Qin Ran had to wait for Cheng Juan to come over to look for Gu Xichi, so she rejected him.

They separated at the hotel entrance.

Mu Nan left with Old Master Mu and the others.

Qin Ran and Cheng Mu waited at the hotel entrance.

Qin Ran glanced at Old Master Mu’s back view and couldn’t help but touch her chin. “What gift should I give him in return?”

Without thinking, Cheng Mu suggested. “Diamonds or a spirit tablet?”

Qin Ran was speechless.

She withdrew her gaze and leaned against the pillar, ignoring his suggestion. She started to think about the first time the Mu family came to look for Mu Nan…

It seemed that it was because Old Master Mu was in poor health…

Gu Xichi’s laboratory had a lot of medicine, and she wondered if they could be used.

However, she didn’t know anything about Old Master Mu’s illness. Thinking about it, she sent a WeChat message to Mu Nan.

…

At the same time.

Cheng Juan had finished settling business with the head of the Liu family.

“Young Master Cheng, I entrust you with the goods,” Master Liu said as he handed a cigarette to Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan glanced at it and avoided it.

The head of the Liu family was shocked. He heard that Young Master Cheng smoked…

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered him a cigarette.

Cheng Juan shook his head and smiled. “My wife has a nose like a dog.”

When he mentioned this, his eyes seemed to light up and he seemed amused.

After that, Cheng Juan bid Master Liu farewell and left.

He had made an appointment with Qin Ran to visit Gu Xichi’s mountain villa. It happened that Yan Xi had just ended filming and was staying there.

Master Liu personally sent Cheng Juan off.

Standing at the door, he finally understood what Cheng Juan’s words meant. He couldn’t help but smile, but he was surprised at the same time.

Next to him, Liu Jue was also surprised. “This young master isn’t the same as the rumors…”

“I’m even more curious about Qin Ran, the head of the Physics Research Inst.i.tute… How interesting.” Master Liu smiled lightly.

He knew that Cheng Juan’s ident.i.ty wasn’t simple, nor was Cheng Mu’s. However, Cheng Mu was very respectful to Qin Ran…

Master Liu didn’t think that the head of the Physics Research Inst.i.tute and the Qin family would carry much weight to Cheng Mu.

Just as he was deep in thought, a middle-aged man came over and said respectfully, “Master Liu, Fourth Young Master wants to see you.”

“He wants to see me?” Master Liu glanced at Liu Jue with a cigarette in his mouth.

The Liu family wasn’t clean. Master Liu had stepped on and killed many people to rise to his position. His methods were vicious. Fourth Young Master was his half brother and his father’s illegitimate son. He led a hedonistic lifestyle but was smart enough to know who not to provoke.

That was why Master Liu spared his life.

“He seems to be short of money, but he did do a good job in the Mo family’s company recently. Mo Zhihuai learned that he’s from the Liu family and gave him special treatment…” Liu Jue said.

“Many n.o.ble guests have arrived in Shanghai recently. He should get his act together.” Master Liu held his cigarette and lowered his eyebrows. He spoke solemnly as if he was talking about a dead person. “If he offends an important person because of his idiotic ways, he will meet his end soon.”

After that, he went directly to his study.

“Heard that?” Liu Jue looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded respectfully. “I will warn Fourth Young Master.” He paused and then continued, “Mr. Liu, the important person you’re referring to…”

“You should know who the Master has been seeing recently.” Liu Jue put his hands behind his back. “Even the Master doesn’t dare to offend those people. Fourth Young Master should be more careful.”

Liu Jue didn’t know the full story, but he was clear that besides Cheng Juan, there were still several people with complicated ident.i.ties.

The middle-aged man nodded seriously and left to report this matter to Fourth Young Master.

…

On the other side.

Mu Nan sent Old Master Mu back to the Mu family house.

Mu Zining, who was rarely at the Mu family’s house, saw Old Master Mu and immediately stood up. She was initially on the phone with someone.

Old Master Mu held Mu Zining in high regard. When he saw that she was back, he stayed in the living hall to talk to her.

“Grandpa, Doctor Hao will be busy at the hospital tomorrow morning. A very important figure is coming for a meeting, and I can only take you for a check-up at night,” Mu Zining said.

“It’s not easy to contact Doctor Hao.” Mu Zining looked at her and sighed.

Mu Zining and Mu Nan were the two second-generation children he was the most satisfied with.

He didn’t expect Mu Zining to be so outstanding.

In the hall, the others also looked at her and nodded. “I heard that Doctor Hao only gives face to the Liu family. Sister Zining is awesome.”

“Xiao Nan received top scores in the college entrance examination. This child scored 739 marks but still said he didn’t do well.” Old Master Mu sighed and thought of Mu Nan while complimenting him generously. “I only learned about it when his cousin told me.”

Hearing his words, many people in the hall looked at Mu Nan in surprise.

Being the top scorer in the national exams wasn’t an easy feat.

“Young Master Mu Nan, will you be studying at Beijing University or University A?” A senior in the Mu family looked at Mu Nan and asked in shock. “The top student in the college entrance examination should be able to join the four major research labs.”

“The four major research labs are physics, mathematics, computer science, and medicine. These are powerful places.” Butler Mu explained to Mu Nan as he was afraid that he didn’t understand him. “Young Master Mu, you’re the top student. As long as you do your best, you will definitely excel.”

Mu Nan nodded. “I see.”

He really wasn’t aware of the four major labs. When he contacted Song Luting and his group, they only mentioned the four major research inst.i.tutes.

These four major research inst.i.tutes turned out to be mathematics, physics, computer science, and medicine.

After talking about Beijing and the four major families in the capital, the others didn’t treat Mu Nan as coldly as before.

They were even friendlier, and this caused Mu Zining to frown.

In the past, only Mu Zining, the youngest child, stood out. Now, these people were surrounding Mu Nan, and Mu Zining was a little upset. She looked at Mu Nan with some ridicule in her eyes.

However, she didn’t say anything back. Old Master Mu glanced at Mu Zining and gently said, “Zining, didn’t you say that you have something very important to tell everyone?”

“Something very important?” Something Mu Zining said was important was definitely not simple. Old Master Mu looked at Mu Zining seriously. He recalled the case reported by his subordinates recently and went to the main point. “Has something happened in Shanghai?”

Mu Zining retracted her gaze and faintly said to the people in the hall, “A group of people has arrived in Shanghai, and even the Liu family is afraid of them.”

After hearing her words, the Mu family members looked at one another.

There were two large families in Shanghai. One of them was the Liu family. They dealt in legal and illegal businesses. The other was the Mo family. The Liu family was more powerful than the Mo family.

The Mu family was inferior and wasn’t worth mentioning. Mu Zining’s position in the Mu family was high because of her relations with the Mo family.

The weight of these two big families in Shanghai was clear.

But there was someone the Liu family didn’t dare to offend…

Who exactly were these people?!
