North of the city.
The Xu family set off.
Two cargo planes.
Xu Yaoguang checked the goods to ensure that nothing was left out before walking towards Qin Ran and Cheng Juan. “We’ll set off at nine sharp.”
They’d be in Continent M at night, which would be more convenient for movement.
Qin Ran didn’t say much. She coughed a little and then said, “Get ready.”
Cheng Juan turned to her when he heard her cough. She looked at him and shook her head to tell him she was fine.
The few people-in-charge of the Xu family were discussing something with the pilots.
At 8:30, Butler Xu walked towards Qin Ran and Xu Yaoguang. “Young Master, Miss Qin, Young Master Cheng, we can board now.”
“Let’s go.” Xu Yaoguang let Qin Ran and Cheng Juan lead the way.
Bam—
Just as he said that a few huge lights in the airport were turned on!
The whole airport was lit!
“It isn’t so simple to leave like that.” A few black cars stopped in the distance as an old voice rang out.
Two people alighted from the black car in the lead.
The man who spoke smiled at Xu Yaoguang and Qin Ran.
It was Old Master Yang.
Beside him was none other than Ming Hai.
“What are you doing here?” Butler Xu’s expression changed. This was the Xu family’s confidential information. Besides the few of them, the rest of the Xu family didn’t even know about this operation.
How did the Yunguang Consortium and Ming Hai find out they were going to send the goods out that day?
They were full of questions when Ming Hai turned towards Cheng Juan tenderly. “Cheng Juan, my son, what do you have to say now?”
Cheng Juan held Qin Ran’s hand. “Nothing.”
Upon hearing what Ming Hai said, the Xu family members turned and glared at Qin Ran and Cheng Juan in disbelief. “Y-You both... we should have listened to the Second Patriarch...”
“Impossible, Miss Qin isn’t such a person.” Butler Xu shook his head.
Old Master Yang couldn’t be bothered with the Xu family’s confusion. He spoke as calmly as usual. “Bring Qin Ran back and check the goods thoroughly.”
Under the bright lights, his smile seemed especially cold.
“Elder Yang.” Ming Hai faced Old Master Yang as he said, “We had a deal. The goods are mine, they’re meant for the next generation of the top four households.”
“As long as you find me what I want, the rest is up to you.” Elder Yang wasn’t too bothered.
Both of them decided on the Xu family’s predicament.
Only now did Second Uncle Xu speak up. He looked at Old Master Yang in shock. “Back in Continent M, you said that you’d just take Qin Ran and ensure that the Xu family would be in good hands!”
Old Master Yang smiled at him. “Isn’t it good that I’m ensuring your next generation will survive?”
Second Uncle Xu heaved.
The rest of the Xu family just got what was going on.
They turned towards Second Uncle Xu.
“Second Patriarch!”
Xu Yaoguang grabbed Second Uncle Xu’s collar.
Second Uncle Xu could barely react. “Young Master, I...”
Old Master Yang didn’t care that the Xu family was in a mess right now and calmly instructed his subordinates, “Get moving.”
“Qin Ran, leave!” Xu Yaoguang shoved Second Uncle Xu aside and then stood before her. He looked at Old Master Yang and said, “You just want the Xu family, it has nothing to do with her. Let her go.”
Butler Xu seemed distressed too. “Young Master Cheng, take Miss Qin with you. Miss Qin can fight well, you’ll be alright!”
“No need.” Qin Ran squeezed Cheng Juan’s hand and took two steps forward. She then looked at Old Master Yang seriously. “Do you think you can capture me?”
“You mean the Underground Champion?” Old Master Yang looked at Qin Ran with feigned surprise. “What a pity, you probably don’t know yet that your body is now affected by the hybrid virus Second Uncle Xu ‘planted’ in you? You won’t be able to fight today.”
Xu Yaoguang and Butler Xu went pale.
Xu Yaoguang staggered backward and then looked at Second Uncle Xu who was still on the ground. “Second Uncle, you...”
“Young Master, w-what was I to do? You guys told me that the Old Master died because of her and then everyone in the Xu family only listened to her! For all we know, the Xu family might just take after her last name someday, and the Institute would have to be renamed too! Humans are all selfish, I was just putting the Xu family’s interest first!” Second Uncle Xu exclaimed while avoiding eye contact with Qin Ran.
“Yes, the entire Xu family is heeding her.” Xu Yaoguang’s eyes went red, and he shut them for a moment. “But after Grandpa passed on, she was also the only one taking care of the Xu family! Busying herself for us! Fighting for the Institute! Was the profit in Continent M fake? Were the reports from the Research Institute fake! She’s a Great Master in the IT field, she could’ve just done her research in the Qin family. Tell me, why did she choose to lead the remaining few senior members of the Research Institute and work with them day and night? Did she deserve such doubting from you? Huh?!”
Cheng Juan was standing by the side.
His fists were clenched tightly as he eyed Old Master Yang and Second Uncle Xu coldly. He licked his lips and said seriously, “Very well.”
“There’s no other choice.” Old Master Yang smiled at Qin Ran and Cheng Juan before settling his gaze on Qin Ran eventually. He sighed. “My good daughter, I’d really underestimated your abilities back then. I never expected you to be able to wreak havoc in the Yunguang Consortium even after you left. It seems like I’ve got to be harsher with you.”
On that note, he shook his head and kept his smile. “You probably don’t know that the Yunguang Consortium’s backing... is none other than Continent M’s Underground Alliance.”
Old Master Yang smiled proudly.
The moment he said that...
A whooshing sound could be heard above their heads.
A helicopter was suspended in mid-air as a few figures grabbing onto sturdy ropes hopped off the helicopter in a swift motion.
The four figures landed on one knee and called out zealously, “Subordinate Xie Yang, greeting Fumeng!”
