“Who told you?” Qin Ran took a step back and lifted her head.
It was Cheng Juan.
He looked normal. He was wearing a black coat and had slender, long legs.
Qin Ran thought that as Cheng Juan was busy dealing with the Hacker Alliance, he wouldn’t pay much attention to her.
After all, he said that the Hacker Alliance would be undergoing a big change.
Hence, she made Cheng Mu keep this secret.
It was normal that Cheng Mu recognized her.
Who knew that Cheng Juan didn’t follow his routine.
Qin Ran lowered her head. Originally, she didn’t want him to know about her relationship with the Arena.
However, because of her, the Xu family was affected that night. Bo Te’s eye injury was partly due to him following Xu Yaoguang to look for her on the third level.
They even risked their lives and came back for her.
Although Qin Ran didn’t want any relationship with another man, she had to pay back Xu Yaoguang’s favor.
As the situation was too rushed, she took Bo Te’s spot and fought in the match. She also helped Principal Xu demand the shares from Carlo.
She didn’t hold a high status in the Arena. Although she had troubled Rui Jin for half a year, it wasn’t considered much in Continent M.
However, she failed to hide this from Cheng Juan.
This was something Qin Ran deeply regretted.
She was thinking of how to explain this past year to him.
Cheng Juan didn’t ask her. He stood by the window and looked at her blankly. He then hugged her tightly with both arms and lightly touched her neck. “You’ve caused such a huge commotion. How can I not be aware?”
Qin Ran hesitated as Cheng Juan arrived too unexpectedly. “I...”
As she was about to explain the Arena situation, someone knocked on her door.
Cheng Juan released her and walked towards the door calmly.
Standing outside the door was Cheng Mu and Xu Yaoguang. Cheng Mu was holding onto a tray and Xu Yaoguang was behind him.
Cheng Juan opened the door halfway and blocked it with his body. He didn’t look at Xu Yaoguang and only said to Cheng Mu, “Give it to me.”
Cheng Mu hurriedly gave the tray to him.
Cheng Juan closed the door.
Cheng Mu called Ting Lan’s chef and ordered rice, soup, and porridge for Qin Ran.
Cheng Juan took a look and could tell that there were some herbs in the porridge.
He set the porridge on the table and looked at her warmly. He said lightly, “Have some food first.”
He didn’t ask anything since he came in.
With one hand holding onto the spoon and the other holding onto the bowl, Qin Ran ate a mouthful of food. “I have been boxing for a year. When my grandma got sick, I was provoked and fought with someone...”
Cheng Juan got his answers from Gu Xichi and also asked for some videos from Rui Jin.
He was slightly hurt after hearing how calmly Qin Ran talked about this.
He nodded and smiled. “I know, Blank. It’s impressive.”
Cheng Juan reached for her backpack and took out a pillbox. He poured out two pills for her.
...
Qin Ran slept in Cheng Juan’s arms while he was on a call with Tang Jun.
He leaned on the bedside and tugged on the blanket. “Elder Tang.”
Tang Jun did not sleep well for the past few days. He rubbed his temples and said, “So you are not coming back tomorrow?”
“Yes, something cropped up,” Cheng Juan replied calmly.
Tang Jun nodded and looked out at the dark, starless sky. “That’s good. There’s nothing much happening tomorrow as well. I will groom some of the younger generation while I’m still alive.”
Both were troubled by some matters. They chatted for a bit before ending the call.
Cheng Juan reached out and switched off the table lights.
He then lowered his head and opened WeChat.
At the top was Qin Ran.
He clicked to open the messages.
Their last conversation was—
[You’re not even interested in this? What else are you interested in?]
[You.]
Cheng Juan almost lost his composure in front of Tang Jun due to these straightforward and irresistible words.
How did Cheng Juan get here so quickly?
He probably wanted to come over after seeing this message. However, he stayed for another day to take care of Tang Jun’s old injury.
Cheng Juan’s hand trembled.
After a long while, he pressed on Cheng Shui’s icon to send him a message—
[Get in contact with 129’s Lone Wolf no matter what. I want to know everything that’s hidden in Ninghai Town’s 712 Case.]
After sending the message, he went back to his messages. He alternated between Feng Loucheng’s and Pan Mingyue’s cell phone numbers.
He didn’t call them immediately and lowered his head to look at Qin Ran. As he was about to pull out his arm, she frowned.
Cheng Juan locked his phone and set it gently by the bedside. He cuddled her and said softly, “Go to sleep.
“I shouldn’t have allowed you to come here.”
In her sleep, Qin Ran unconsciously moved closer to him.
...
At the same time.
Continent M’s Film City.
After finishing his night scenes, Qin Xiuchen sat in the hotel opposite Tang Jun’s confidant, Elder Li.
“Mr. Qin, I’ll be straightforward with you. I came because of Young Master Qin Ling,” Elder Li said. “Young Master Qin Ling is extremely talented and I believe that you do not want to waste his talents. Truth be told, other than Old Master Qin, everyone else in the Qin family is pretty ordinary. It will be a waste of talent if Young Master Qin Ling continues staying there. Our Old Master wants to groom him personally.”
Qin Xiuchen did not agree or reject on behalf. He only replied politely, “I will have to ask Qin Ling for his opinion on this.”
“It’s only right to consult Young Master Qin Ling as well.” Elder Li nodded while his expression remained solemn. “Mr. Qin, I hope you will consider this as beneficial to both the Qin family and Young Master Qin Ling. Please give me a call after you have come to a decision.”
Although Elder Li knew that in the Qin family, Qin Xiuchen and his steward listened more to Qin Ran, he... couldn’t contact her. He also knew that Qin Ran did not pay much attention to the Qin family matters.
Elder Li returned to the Tang family after talking to Qin Xiuchen. It was already night time.
Tang Jun wasn’t at the Hacker Alliance today.
The lights on level one were still on.
“Old Master, Eldest Master?” Elder Li looked at the Tang family members, feeling slightly puzzled.
“Elder Li.” Eldest Master looked at him excitedly. “Come and see this. This was just published by an engineer at the Yunguang Consortium. Second Brother never talked about the Yunguang Consortium. However, this was publicized today and we’re currently doing some research on it.”
Elder Li walked towards the computer and looked at the screen.
Tang family members were a bunch of computer freaks.
“Master Poppy. Even the Yunguang Consortium didn’t stop the publication of these secrets as he might escape if it interfered.” Eldest Master turned to ask Tang Jun. “I’m very curious about this Master. I wonder what kind of person he is.”
