Qin Ran read the transport track on her phone and directly sent it to Cheng Tu.

Actually, Cheng Mu had no intention of telling her about Mu Nan’s affairs. Not only were Cheng Juan and Cheng Tu both here, but this was also the Liu family’s land. Nothing would happen to the pair of mother and son, and if anything did happen to them, then Cheng Tu might as well be useless.

However, given Cheng Mu’s IQ, it was almost impossible to hide it from Qin Ran.

“Have you unlocked the USB flash drive?” Qin Ran understood Mu Nan and knew that he would dare to take such a risk. He must have his own thinking and must have left enough evidence behind.

The characters that Qin Ran mentioned to Cheng Mu shocked Officer Li and everyone present.

They could ignore Morning Bird and the others, and they didn’t know Mr. Ken, but the two airports had been sealed off, and everyone knew the patriarch of the Liu family in Shanghai.

Not to mention Officer Li, even Mu Zongxi couldn’t help but look in Qin Ran and Cheng Mu’s direction.

“Not yet, I’ll bring it over.” From Qin Ran’s moves just now, Officer Li already knew that her computer skills weren’t simple. Since they couldn’t unlock the USB flash drive, they might as well give it to her.

As soon as she took over the USB flash drive, there was another sensation at the door, coupled with the low noises of a group of people.

Frowning, Officer Li was about to head outside to see what was going on when he saw the Chief coming out of the office and walking respectfully towards the door.

At the door, a few tall figures entered.

The Chief hurriedly greeted the person standing in front and respectfully bowed. “Master Liu.”

The noisy police station suddenly became dead silent.

Master Liu had always been serious and calm, and his expression now was sharp and cold. He nodded slightly towards the Chief, then walked directly in the direction of the crowd and stopped in front of Qin Ran. He bowed and sincerely apologized, “Miss Qin, please go to the airport first. Mr. Cheng Tu has news. I apologize about Madam Ning.”

The crowd parted spontaneously for him to walk through.

“Okay.” Holding the USB flash drive in her hand, Qin Ran stepped forward, her expression still cold. “Let’s talk as we walk.”

When they walked out together, everyone could clearly see that the extremely powerful patriarch of the Liu family was walking one step behind Qin Ran.

In the whole hall, no one dared to utter a single word.

When the two of them had disappeared, most people heaved a sigh of relief and then exchanged glances.

“Even Master Liu came…”

Someone asked Butler Mu who on earth Qin Ran was.

Mu Zongxi was even more shocked. For some reason, his heart was shaking tremendously. He raised his head to look at Butler Mu and opened his mouth, his hands trembling on both sides. “Butler Mu, that was…”

“The Young Master’s cousin.” Butler Mu knew what he wanted to ask and directly answered. In fact, he was still in a daze as well as he stared in Qin Ran’s direction.

He had already faintly guessed that Mu Nan’s cousin wasn’t a simple character. After all, the experimental drug incident back then… Especially the last time when he saw Mo Zhihuai at Qin Ran’s house.

But he never expected that even Master Liu would have such a respectful att.i.tude towards her?

Mu Nan’s cousin?

Since when did Mu Nan have such a powerful cousin?

Mu Zining and Mu Zongxi exchanged glances, both of them a little horrified and shocked.

Cheng Mu had already left behind Qin Ran, fulfilling his mission of following after her.

However, Liu Jue hadn’t left with Master Liu and had stayed at the police station.

“Mr. Liu.” The Chief also knew him and directly asked, “Officer Li just found out that the man was last seen at the airport. We…”

Liu Jue shook his head. “Don’t move your men. I’ll notify you if anything happens.”

He gave a few orders and then left in a hurry.

The Chief swept this gaze around the crowd and finally rested his eyes on the Mu family. He paused for a moment and then said very politely, “Mr. Mu, shall we take you to the hospital?”

…

In the hospital.

Having used the experimental drugs for a period of time before, and coupled with his affection for Mu Nan, Old Master Mu woke up after the doctor’s rescue and directly asked for news of Mu Nan and Ning Wei.

Upon hearing that the criminal was at the airport, he got up from the hospital bed and wanted to head over.

Butler Mu and Project Director Mu didn’t stop him and went with him instead.

“The Young Master has gone to Beijing, don’t worry. I heard from Director Hao that the Medical Organization performed the operation themselves, so there’s nothing to worry about.” Butler Mu comforted him.

The Medical Organization?

Although puzzled, Old Master Mu was bent on finding Mu Nan and Ning Wei and didn’t think too much about it.

They b.u.mped into the Chief downstairs.

“Oh, Old Master Mu, h.e.l.lo. Are you going to the airport now? It’s not easy to get there now, how about we bring you?” The Chief hurried forward and greeted him politely and respectfully.

The Mu family had never had much contact with the bureau before.

Upon seeing how polite the Chief was to him, Old Master Mu glanced at Butler Mu in surprise.

Butler Mu explained in a low voice, “It’s because of the Young Master’s cousin.”

Old Master Mu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the Chief was being respectful to him because of Qin Ran. He had already been suspicious of Mu Nan’s cousin’s ident.i.ty in the bottom of his heart, but it was obviously not the time to investigate about it now.

They rushed to the airport.

It was the last day of the summit, so the management shouldn’t be as strict as before.

However, the strange thing was that close to the airport, almost every road was under strict inspection. Two main roads had even been sealed off.

At this time, Old Master Mu and the others finally understood what the Chief meant by “it’s not easy to get there now.”

With the Chief, they traveled through the traffic jam smoothly, and it didn’t take long before they reached the airport.

The Chief contacted Liu Jue and stopped at the entrance. Liu Jue called the Chief again.

After hanging up, the Chief was stunned for a moment, before he took another look at Mu Zining and Mu Zongxi.

This look frightened them both.

“Dad, that international criminal…” Mu Zining asked Mu Zongxi in a whisper after they entered.

Mu Zongxi hesitated even more. “I don’t know. I contacted them just now. Don’t worry, they won’t connect it to us. It’s just that… Mu Nan’s cousin…”

He started to regret not looking into Mu Nan’s cousin when Butler Mu had mentioned her twice last time…

Mu Zining remained silent.

…

In Beijing.

He Chen had a lot of information and news, especially the people she paid attention to on the International Wanted List.

The orders she took were mainly to arrest people.

Chang Ning hurried up from downstairs and looked slightly worried. “How is it? Have you caught him? Is Lone Wolf okay? Did she flare-up?”

“I’ve caught the guy.” He Chen leaned back in her chair and placed her camera on the table. She took a can of beer and opened the tab with one hand. “Cheng Juan, Lone Wolf, Kenneth, me, and even Shanghai itself is involved. If we can’t even catch the tenth most wanted criminal, we might as well resign…

“It would be embarra.s.sing.” He Chen nodded.

“That’s good.” Chang Ning sighed in relief, but his expression was still tense. “My G.o.dson and G.o.ddaughter still haven’t been born, but they’re already experiencing such thrilling things.”

He took his phone and wanted to remind Cheng Juan to take better control of Qin Ran.

This couldn’t go on like this.

He was thinking of this when he saw a bunch of messages on his communicator, all of them from the international community.

The four people, Qin Ran, Cheng Juan, He Chen, and Kenneth, were each a headache for the international community. It was even worse now that the four of them had joined hands. Their movements were so loud that even the international community had been alerted, asking if something serious had happened.

Chang Ning had to clean up their mess with a headache all over again.

…

Two days later, two major events happened in Shanghai.

First, Mo Zhihen lost his power, and Mo Zhihuai became the first successor.

Second, Mu Zongxi, the first heir of the Mu family, was arrested on suspicion of the murder of the Second Young Master of the Mu family 20 years ago. Mu Zining was also arrested on suspicion of an attempted blackmail murder.

In the prison, they were both interrogated together. Looking tired and weary, Mu Zongxi glanced blankly at Mu Zining. “Where’s Young Master Liu? Go and beg him!”

“I know.” Mu Zining had already requested a phone call to find a lawyer. She remembered Fourth Master Liu’s phone number and directly called him.

In the Liu family’s house.

Fourth Master Liu had been detained by Master Liu for a few days now and had only been released after being taught a lesson for a week.

He had been trapped in a small dark room without a cell phone and hadn’t even seen the sun for a week.

For him, it was tantamount to a year.

The first thing he did when he came out was look up news of Pinnacle Studios, Magic Lamp, and Yiyi Zining.

These things popped up easily on Weibo. The entire comics world was focused on Magic Lamp, but he couldn’t find even a single piece of news on Yiyi Zining.

Magic Lamp was still so popular despite that hideous picture?

He called his a.s.sistant and asked about Yiyi Zining.

While asking, he went to Master Liu to confess his crimes.

As soon as he walked to the study room, Liu Jue stopped him and said that Master Liu was entertaining important guests.

Fourth Master Liu waited not far away, and within five minutes, he saw Master Liu personally send the two out.

He was respectful and polite.

Fourth Master Liu had never seen him act in this way, and his eyes almost bulged out from its sockets.

The two people beside Master Liu finally revealed their faces. It was a man and a woman. The man was tall and lean, like a bright moon. Although the woman looked cold, her face was exquisite and beautiful, especially since she carried an acute spirit and carefreeness that was very dazzling.

Their momentums weren’t inferior to Master Liu’s and were even faintly superior.

Fourth Master Liu stared blankly at them and was in a daze for a long time.

Master Liu personally sent them out.

After waiting for the two to leave, Fourth Master Liu asked Liu Jue, “Who was that girl just now? Why haven’t I seen her in Shanghai?”

“You mean Miss Qin?” Liu Jue looked faintly at him. “You should know her. She’s an author at Pinnacle Studios. I think her name was Magic something.”
