Chapter 549: This Is Giant Crocodile's Number, I've Given It to You

The recipient looked at the information on the computer screen.

He took a deep breath. "Mr. Ouyang, Miss Qin is not detaining you illegally. I'm sorry. You can look for the criminal investigation team instead."

The phone was hung up.

The head of the Ouyang family was particularly anxious during the journey. At this time, he could no longer bear it anymore.

"Wei Wei, will we be fine?" He looked at Ouyang Wei.

Ouyang Wei had a good temperament. She was still moving elegantly as usual and did not appear worried at all. She only smiled and said, "Don't worry, dad."

"Lock them in the underground dungeon." Qin Ran commanded while ignoring the conversation between the two.

Qing Lin couldn't do this because this was Cheng Juan's territory. Cheng Shui quickly stepped forward and said, "Just bring them down for an interrogation."

He was filled with doubts about this situation. Since Qin Ran brought Ouyang Wei back, Cheng Shui was naturally not going to be a bystander.

"Miss Qin, do you have other instructions?" Qing Lin looked around and bowed to her.

Qin Ran shook her head and said, "Thank you."

"It's my pleasure." Qing Lin took two steps back. "This isn't much. If you have other instructions, just tell me. Big Boss is still drinking tea and specially told me to follow you."

He was referring to Chang Ning.

"I don't need your help anymore, so you can go back first." Qin Ran nodded.

"Ok. If you need anything, just contact Big Boss." With a wave of his hand, Qing Lin dispersed the guards. "The other group of guards will remain outside the hospital."

Qin Ran looked at Cheng Shui. "You can interrogate them first. I will visit the hospital now."

...

In the hospital.

Many of the Xu family members in Beijing also came over.

"Young Master Cheng." Seeing Cheng Juan, Butler Xu bowed.

Cheng Juan looked at Principal Xu, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. "Come out with me," he said to Butler Xu.

There were many people in the hospital corridor.

Cheng Juan walked to the end of the corridor with a cigarette in his hand. He leaned his thin body against the wall and stared at the person in front of him deeply. "Butler Xu, why didn't you tell Miss Qin about such a serious thing in advance? How can you not even reveal a thing? I'm sure you and Elder Xu are aware of her personality."

The Xu family members kept hiding things from Qin Ran.

When Chen Shulan died, Cheng Juan could feel how heartbroken Qin Ran was. And now, the same thing happened to Principal Xu.

Cheng Juan frowned.

He didn't want to imagine how much guilt Qin Ran felt.

His voice brought Butler Xu to his senses. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I couldn't hide this from you in the end. Old Master was selfish..."

Cheng Juan understood his intentions and looked at Butler Xu.

Butler Xu immediately knelt in front of Cheng Juan. "Young Master Cheng, you should know that the Xu family could only get on this level because of the Research Institute."

Cheng Juan only recently realized this, so he did pay much attention to the Research Institute previously.

The information he received was brought back by Qin Ran from the Research Institute.

After hearing what Butler Xu said, Cheng Juan thought of a possibility and continued pursing his lips.

"Mr. Ning'er was the first person in charge of the Research Institute. He had many secrets and was being threatened by someone. At that time, the Xu family didn't help him because of the Research Institute. Only the Qin family helped him. Mr. Ning'er and Old Master Qin were brothers and extraordinarily talented individuals, but they didn't have good outcomes..." Butler Xu kowtowed and said, "Old Master... Old Master felt guilty and wanted to make it up to him by helping Miss Qin. Seeing that Miss Qin is part of the Research Institute, his last wish was fulfilled."

Cheng Juan felt a chill down his spine.

He didn't say anything.

Butler Xu kowtowed again. "At the start in Yun Cheng, Old Master looked for Miss Qin, but she did not agree. After thinking about it, he only dared to look for Professor Chen when he was dying... This time, Old Master knew about what the Xu family did in the past and would rather die than go to the hospital. In the end, the other butlers and I begged him to go."

The Xu family rose up because it took advantage of the Ning family's demise. Besides giving the Research Institute to the future generations of the Ning family, Xu Shiying didn't know what else to do.

This was Xu Shiying's death wish.

Would he tell this story to Qin Ran?

Neither Xu Shiying nor Butler Xu had the guts to. They were too ashamed.

The Xu family stepped on the Ning family to get ahead and did not dare to show up even when Ning'er was being threatened.

Xu Shiying wanted to apologize to Ning'er and Chen Shulan the most, but they had already passed away...

Cheng Juan watched as Butler Xu kneeled. He didn't say anything as he stared at the end of the corridor.

After a long time.

He finally said, "Get up."

Butler Xu stumbled as he got up.

He subconsciously glanced behind him.

Opposite him, the elevator doors slowly closed.

Butler Xu did not clearly see the person in the lift.

...

At the villa.

Cheng Huo sat at the doorway. When he saw Qin Ran and Cheng Mu, he couldn't help but look up in surprise. "Miss Qin, why are you back so soon?"

Qin Ran seemed to be colder than before.

She gave him an icy look. "Have you managed to get answers from them?"

"Hao Dui is here too. There's no progress at the moment. I will take you down," Cheng Huo said as he escorted her underground.

"They're very stubborn." When Cheng Shui and Hao Dui saw that Qin Ran was here, they walked out to greet her. They frequently turned to look at Ouyang Wei behind the glass wall and frowned.

Hao Dui looked at Qin Ran. "Furthermore, there are too many people backing her, so she's not easy to mess with. I've heard some news that Giant Crocodile and his men have arrived in Beijing..."

"Really?" Qin Ran mumbled. She nodded and pushed open the glass door.

"Miss Qin..." Cheng Shui and Hao Dui quickly followed her.

Qin Ran looked at Ouyang Wei. "How did you interrogate Teacher Xu? Break ten of his fingers?"

She nodded to the people near her who were also Cheng Juan's confidants.

"Qin Ran, how dare you!" Ouyang Wei stopped playing with her phone, and her expression changed.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Qin Ran slowly leaned over the table and stared at her coldly. "Do you want to say that you have people backing you? Who are they? The Ouyang family? Ming Hai? Do they dare to stir things up in Beijing? Let me think, 129 as well, right?"

Qin Ran lowered her head and looked at the official page of 129 on Ouyang Wei's phone. She stretched out her hand and pressed a series of numbers one by one. "This is Giant Crocodile's number. I've given it to you."
