Father Lin finished speaking and reached out to pick up a call.

It was Lin Siran.

While dragging his suitcase, he babbled on. "Good girl, don't panic. I'm going to Ran Ran's place... Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person! Wait a while, I'll be there soon..."

As he spoke, he looked up at Cheng Raohan and his party. "Please make way, I have to leave quickly."

The senior managers of the Research Institute exchanged glances. They took a long while to return to their senses, and they all groaned inwardly.

The world's new vaccine was in the hands of B502.

The Cheng family must rely on them to comfort the masses and to stabilize themselves.

But now, Father Lin was leaving.

So, what did the Cheng family have to comfort the masses?!

How were they going to explain to the wealthy and the nobles in Beijing?!

This change had come too suddenly.

Cheng Raohan and the others were still stunned.

At the same time, a researcher next to him finally dialed the number of a domestic student in the Medical Organization. "Eldest Master, I've dialed the number of the Medical Organization! This student used to be mine."

Everyone gathered around. Cheng Raohan also recovered and said in a panic, "Hurry, ask him what's going on!"

The researcher quickly turned on the speaker.

"Teacher?" the student asked on the other end suspiciously.

The researcher hurriedly asked with a gentle but eager voice, "Xiao Su, did something happen at the Medical Organization? Why haven't we received any news yet when they said they would send it at night? Eldest Master is still waiting."

"Oh." Xiao Su paused for a moment and shook her head. "You can forget about it. If it's still possible, you should quickly apologize to Senior Cheng. There might still be a turning point."

"You haven't fulfilled the contract. Our researchers have put in so much effort for the vaccine. If you do this, our chances of cooperation in the future will diminish greatly..." Cheng Raohan directly took the phone, his thoughts running rampant in his mind.

Xiao Su was rendered speechless for a moment before she said inconceivably, "Cooperation? Who cooperated with you? Did you misunderstand something?"

1

"What?" Cheng Raohan subconsciously felt like something was wrong.

Sure enough, Xiao Su's next sentence completely shattered his imagination. "Why would the Medical Organization need to cooperate with anyone? The teachers of the various laboratories of the Medical Organization only helped to analyze the data and research experiments because of Senior Cheng. He's the next heir of our Medical Organization. Otherwise, where else can you find someone who can dispatch the entire Medical Organization? Are you guys out of your mind?"

3

As soon as Xiao Su's voice fell, everyone broke into a cold sweat.

"The Third Young Master..."

"How could it be?!"

Everyone cried out in alarm. The heir of the Medical Organization was basically at the top of the medical world. How could the patriarch of the Cheng family compare?

Xiao Su hung up, and everyone else remained silent.

They turned to look at Cheng Raohan silently.

"Eldest Master, the reporters have come again!" Someone hurried over.

Looking up blankly, Cheng Raohan turned to Cheng Wenru with pleading eyes. "Second Sis..."

Cheng Wenru shook her head and sighed involuntarily. Her Dad's choice of name for Cheng Raohan was a fault in writing. He excessively believed that he was infallible, and still couldn't recognize the situation even at this point.

Disregarding other things, it was obvious from the relationship between Gu Xichi and Cheng Juan that this matter wasn't simple.

The four major families in Beijing were now different, but Cheng Raohan still didn't understand this. He always thought that the Cheng family was the head of the four major families and didn't put anyone in his eyes. He had no problem doing other things, but he never should have touched Qin Ran.

Previously, no matter what happened in Beijing, Cheng Juan never thought of doing anything to the Cheng family.

Who would have thought that he would actually make a move on the Cheng family for her?

"I told you earlier to be lenient whenever possible. You have to be thankful for being Dad's son. At this point, the media and the major cities in Beijing are waiting for tomorrow's upstarts in the new vaccine. Go and figure out how to deal with it." Cheng Wenru glanced coldly at him and turned to leave.

1

She was worried about Qin Ran's condition and vaccine research and didn't care much about the Cheng family at this point.

After she left, Cheng Raohan was rendered speechless. Flustered, he took a startled step back.

Everyone around urged him.

"Eldest Master, what should we do?"

"Eldest Master, another media called..."

"Eldest Master..."

"..."

Cheng Raohan's busy tongue was dry.

After a long while, his diminished eyes lit up, and he came to a final decision. "Contact the Second Lady and find out where the Third Young Master is! We'll go to them and plead for their forgiveness!"

1

...

At the villa.

It was brightly lit.

Cheng Huo, who had been waiting outside, glanced at Cheng Mu. He didn't feel like outsiders had broken into the manor. "Someone obviously stayed behind to guard the manor."

Cheng Mu got out of the car and glanced deeply and profoundly at him. He shook his head heavily. "You don't understand. I'm talking about an outsider who broke into the manor."

"Cheng Mu, are you disrespecting me?" Cheng Huo had a violent temper and flared up easily.

Cheng Jin stopped him.

Cheng Huo turned to him. "Cheng Jin, don't stop me. I must show him today who's boss!"

"No..." Coughing, Cheng Jin whispered to him, "I'm afraid you can't beat him."

2

Cheng Huo was speechless.

What the f*ck.

It was very quiet in the manor.

At the end of the cobblestone road, no servant came to open the door, and it was unreasonably quiet.

Cheng Juan walked beside Qin Ran, while Gu Xichi walked behind, calling the old man from the Medical Organization. Everyone else walked behind them.

Cheng Juan slowly reached out to open the door.

The lobby on the first floor of the manor was very large, and the figure of someone standing in the center was very clear.

He had his back to the door and seemed to be looking at the mural. His figure was long and he was dressed in white, making it seem like his whole body was engulfed by ice and snow.

The servants and cooks of the entire manor were held aside. Unfamiliar men in black with an imposing air held knives at their necks.

The man seemed to hear them and turned sideways, looking at the person entering the door with a calm expression. He said clearly, "You're back."

When Cheng Shui entered behind them and saw his face, his expression changed drastically.

Although he had only met him once in Continent M, he still recognized him immediately. "Mr. Yang? Why is he here?" he whispered.

"I know this was a conspiracy." Cheng Jin narrowed his eyes. "How could Cheng Tu and Giant Crocodile manage to stop Yang Shuyan so easily?"

Cheng Shui and Cheng Jin fell into the first-degree alert and dialed their phones quietly.

Gu Xichi didn't know Yang Shuyan, however. He hung up his call and glanced doubtfully at Cheng Juan and Cheng Shui.

Lowering his voice, Cheng Shui whispered to him solemnly, "Mr. Gu, this is the Underground Alliance's leader..."

There was no need for Cheng Shui to say anything else.

Those in Continent M knew what the Underground Alliance was as long as they had some power and connections.

Especially Gu Xichi, who was very familiar with Matthew.

Naturally, he knew that this was Matthew's most wanted criminal, the one who gave him a headache with his vicious methods.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xichi took a deep breath, somewhat in disbelief. "How did my brother and Xiao Ran provoke him?"

Cheng Shui shook his head silently.

He faced Yang Shuyan in defense.

Cheng Shui turned to Cheng Juan. "Boss!"

He waited for instructions.

At the same time, everyone behind Cheng Juan was guarded against the enemy. Now that Beijing was in a state of emergency, Yang Shuyan had managed to capture the people in the manor first.

This showed his considerable power in the country.

However, unexpectedly, Cheng Juan lowered his head and said calmly to Qin Ran, "I asked the chef to prepare a bowl of nutritious porridge for you."

A little impatient, Qin Ran frowned. "I want broiled meat."

"Okay." Cheng Juan nodded. He looked at the chef who had a knife at his neck and said calmly, "Did you hear her? Miss Qin wants to eat seafood porridge tonight."

2

"Okay, Third Young Master." The chef quietly took out a small book and a black pen from his pocket and noted down the order very solemnly.

The man in black with the knife at his neck: "...??"

After the chef finished taking it down, he carefully glanced at Qin Ran and asked politely, "Miss Qin, is there anything else you want?"

1

Qin Ran looked blankly at the chef.

She felt like this chef was really a talent.

Cheng Shui and Gu Xichi also looked at the chef with complicated expressions.

Yang Shuyan's expression didn't change at all. His eyes turned sharply from Cheng Juan to Qin Ran, and he smiled slightly. Looking like the first time Qin Ran saw him many years ago, he finally said softly, "Ran Ran, come back with me."

"So that you can set her up again?" Cheng Juan turned sideways and stared faintly at him. He smoothed Qin Ran's slightly wrinkled collar and said slowly, "Impossible."

1

"I regret it. After the news of your death, I regretted it." Yang Shuyan restrained the boiling blood inside him, and his eyes grew deeper as he stared intently at Qin Ran. "You said before that we're the best comrades. I'll always give you my back."

What back.

Annoying.

It was really annoying.

Cheng Juan was too impatient for these.

Frowning, he directly turned his head. "Yang Shuyan, is this the reason why you activated the virus in her body?"

Yang Shuyan stared deeply at him before saying, "Cheng Juan, you should also know that she has a virus in her body, and I have the suppressors. Only I can save her. I'll give you half of the Continent M territory. You only went to Yun Cheng back then because of the crater. As long as you hand her over to me, all of this will be yours."

The hand Cheng Juan used to squeeze Qin Ran's hand suddenly paused.

His inner blood surged.

This was the reason why he hadn't acted on Yang Shuyan these two days.

Behind him, Gu Xichi remained silent and looked worriedly at Cheng Juan.

The new vaccine for the Y3 virus was only a preventive measure. Gu Xichi didn't know how long it would take them to develop a suppressor that could completely deactivate it.

Maybe soon, maybe not.

No one was sure if Qin Ran could wait until then.

"You..." Cheng Juan looked up, the calmness and gentleness in his eyes completely gone. His eyes were cold, and his palms also gradually turned cold.

He had participated in the virus research from beginning to end.

He had turned over the virus books of the Research Institute these few days.

At the moment, he could hear his own heart beating inside.

He had personally witnessed his own Father's death.

His pulse had slowly stopped and his eyes had closed slowly, little by little. From then on, any traces of this person in the world had been wiped out, as if he was no more.

Cheng Juan didn't dare to imagine what it would be if it was Qin Ran.

Even at the simple thought of it, his heart felt like a knife was twisting inside him, making him breathless.

He couldn't and didn't dare to think of it.

He never showed the slightest impatience in front of Qin Ran.

"Brother..." Gu Xichi gave him a worried look.

Qin Ran stood beside Cheng Juan, waiting for a long time without receiving his answer.

She dug her ears with her other hand and turned to him, raising an eyebrow. Laughing in anger, she talked as if she wasn't an alien with a virus active in her. "Are you seriously thinking about it?"

Looking up, Cheng Juan chuckled twice, then looked helplessly at Yang Shuyan. "Did you see that? I'm also very helpless."

The worried Gu Xichi turned speechless.

This was his brother indeed.

Without regard for Yang Shuyan, Cheng Juan patted Qin Ran's head and said lightly, "Go upstairs and rest. Come down to have porridge later."

Qin Ran felt like if it had been someone else who didn't give her a good meal before her death, she would have screwed the other person's head.

1

But since it was Cheng Juan, she nodded. "I'll go and sleep first."

She had recently been injected with many drugs by Gu Xichi.

Her spirit was indeed not as good as before.

She headed upstairs.

It was as if Yang Shuyan and his men didn't exist.

Yang Shuyan watched as she calmly walked upstairs. His eyes gradually turned cold, and the smile on his face also slowly faded. He pursed his lips and stared after Qin Ran.

After a long while, he chuckled, nodded, and muttered, "I don't want to force you."

1

Qin Ran swiftly stopped. She put her hands on the handrails, her delicate face expressionless as she stared fixedly at him with dark eyes.

"Your brother is in my hands." Yang Shuyan closed his eyes before meeting her gaze. "As long as you come back with me and never return to Beijing, I'll make sure he comes back safely."

Yang Shuyan knew Qin Ran very well and knew what to use against her

At the door, Gu Xichi couldn't help but shout, "Despicable!"

Qin Ran remained silent. She had told Qin Xiuchen before to let Qin Ling come back.

Who knew that Yang Shuyan would grab him first.

Ever since she could remember, Ning'er had told her in a complicated way that she should revere the Yang family.

At that time, Qin Ran hadn't understood.

She only understood recently. Ning'er knew that she was extremely talented and had surrendered to Old Master Yang in order to protect her.

She was asking a tiger for its skin.

For so many years, she had been careful not to let Yang Shuyan discover her identity.

When he found out she wasn't dead, everyone around her would suffer.

Yang Shuyan never doubted that his righteous sister Qin Ran was the thorn in his eyes.

She could protect her people temporarily, but there were always loopholes.

What happened to the Xu family had caught Qin Ran by surprise, and she had no choice but to contact Xie Jiu.

Qin Ran's hostility gradually rose.

Yang Shuyan calmly spoke again, his voice gentler. "Ran Ran, come back with me."

"Xiao Ran." Gu Xichi's expression changed. "Don't get agitated, don't fall into his trap!"

"Miss Qin!" Cheng Mu also shouted worriedly.

In the tense atmosphere in the hall, a laugh suddenly sounded.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the source.

Tilting his head, Cheng Juan looked at Yang Shuyan calmly. In the tense atmosphere, he exuded a calm and relaxed aura, without any sense of panic. He only took out his phone and made a call.

"Sister Ran, answer the call." He threw the phone to Qin Ran from afar.

Qin Ran reached out and accurately caught it.

As soon as she did, the call got through.

It was Qin Ling on the other end, sounding a little far away. "Uncle, I'll take it myself."

The sound of the wind could be heard.

Then, an approaching voice sounded. "Brother-in-law, I've arrived at the airport with my uncle. I also saw Uncle Lou. Where are you and my sister?"

Qin Ran was speechless.

The anger brewing in her heart surged, and she felt a little embarrassed. She slowly kept the phone and looked up at Cheng Juan.

She wanted to ask when he had bought Qin Ling over.

And he was even calling him brother-in-law now?

1

"I'll go up to rest." Qin Ran raised her head.

Downstairs, Yang Shuyan, who had been staring at Qin Ran with a look of victory, finally turned to Cheng Juan with surging eyes. "I've really underestimated you."

"Same here. I didn't expect you to play Giant Crocodile and Cheng Tu abroad," Cheng Juan said very politely and calmly.

Yang Shuyan stared at him motionlessly.

He turned to Qin Ran. "You really want to stay here? Don't you see them? Besides him, everyone fears you and wants you to leave. How's that different from the situation in the Underground Alliance at that time?"

3

With Cheng Juan here, Qin Ran felt like she wouldn't be afraid of Yang Shuyan taking revenge on the people around her.

What she missed and neglected to take precautions against were just as Cheng Juan said. This time, she could completely rest assured and leave everything to him.

She stopped and looked seriously at him. "It's different."

Yang Shuyan retorted softly, "Oh really? What's the difference? Look at the Cheng family and the people at the Research Institute, they even kicked you out. Look at the Xu family too, which one of them isn't just using you? Fear you? They just want the news of the crater you hold! And those friends of yours, do you think they came into contact with you without any grudges? Qin Ran, open your eyes and take a good look at the people around you. No one is unafraid of death. Driving you out of Beijing is the best proof."

2

He wasn't done talking when—

A voice suddenly sounded from outside the gate.

"Why is it so crowded?" someone said as he came in.

It was Father Lin.

Sighing, he looked at Qin Ran. "Ran Ran, Siran will come over later. I already explained it to her, but she was very angry when she saw the news. You might have to help her break into the Supreme-level 19 stars."

2

Yang Shuyan paused and stared at him.

Father Lin didn't care about the extra people and just looked at Gu Xichi. "Xiao Gu, have you set up the equipment yet?"

Gu Xichi paused. "Uncle Lin, why are you here now?"

"Oh." Father Lin slowly raised the shovel in his hand and handed it to Cheng Mu. "Cheng Mu told me before that his shovel wasn't easy to use. I saw an unused shovel on the road, and I didn't have enough money on my hands. That person doesn't have WeChat yet... Cheng Mu, what do you think of this shovel?"

Father Lin showed him the shovel.

Cheng Mu weighed it and thought it was okay. "Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Gu Xichi: "...??"

Just as the two of them were conversing.

1

Another car parked outside the door.

Immediately afterward, Cheng Raohan and a group of people from the Research Institute rushed in to apologize.

Cheng Weiping spoke first, "Third Young Master, Miss Qin, we're very ashamed of the ways of the Research Institute! We're here today to beg for your forgiveness!"

Gu Xichi paused in confusion. "Aren't you afraid of being infected with the virus?"

Shaking his head, Cheng Weiping said deeply, "I'm afraid that the virus will spread. Miss Qin provided us with experiments and test drugs..."

Having said this, he bowed deeply to Qin Ran. "On behalf of the Research Institute and everyone in Beijing, I think Miss Qin."

Besides the Cheng family.

Things snowballed.

Other people came in next.

It was Xu Yaoguang, Butler Xu, and the others.

Because of the ban, the Xu family's goods hadn't been shipped to Continent M.

Butler Xu rushed in anxiously and was immediately relieved to see Qin Ran standing on the stairs. "Young Master Cheng, are you short of men? The Xu family has been idle recently."

"Yes, Young Master Cheng, just holler if you need anything!" the rest of the Xu family immediately said.

Having calculated everything except this, Yang Shuyan was speechless.

Cheng Juan raised an eyebrow at Qin Ran. "Aren't you resting?"

Looking at the noisy crowd downstairs, Qin Ran's head throbbed. She massaged her temples and nodded. "Okay."

She headed upstairs.

Her figure finally disappeared.

Cheng Juan kept the smile on his face and put his hands behind his back. Looking up, he glanced lightly at Yang Shuyan, the hostility and rage that had been restrained for several days finally exploding now.

"Boss, Matthew called." Cheng Shui respectfully handed the phone to him.

Cheng Juan took it and said lightly, "She's with me. Where are you? ... Okay."

Listening to his few words, Yang Shuyan's arrogant face finally changed.

1

He pursed his lips at Cheng Juan. "How did you get Matthew over? Aren't you afraid he'll swallow your power?!"

Cheng Juan chuckled. "I used the manor, 40% of Continent F's exercise rights, and Asia's open rights to make this transaction with him."

2

"You... You're insane." Yang Shuyan sputtered.

3

The conditions Cheng Juan listed were comparable to 70% of the Underground Alliance's rights.

His eyes shone fiercely.

"Leader, let's go." Not far away, one of Yang Shuyan's subordinates finally spoke. "Let's not drag this on, it's not worth it."

Even if someone with Yang Shuyan's status really wanted to use the Underground Alliance to make a deal with Matthew, it wouldn't be just for Qin Ran.

Just like when Yang Shuyan set up Qin Ran for the overall situation.

1

At first, 50% of what Yang Shuyan said to Cheng Juan was just a verbal transaction.

Yang Shuyan knew what the subordinate was talking about.

He looked away. "Let's go!"

Cheng Juan said firmly, "Yang Shuyan, I let you in today. Do you think I would let you go?"

Outside the manor, a roaring helicopter sounded.

"The Yang and Ming families... For so many years, everyone has lived in the shadow of the carter." Cheng Juan took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

It was a very special piece of paper.

He glanced at Yang Shuyan. "All for this secret?"

Staring at the paper in his hand, Yang Shuyan's eyes finally moved, and he muttered, "She... She actually gave it to you?"

"Yeah, she doesn't want to deal with this." Cheng Juan calmly looked at the piece of paper and took out a lighter. "The Yang family forced the Ning family to study these things, and Mr. Ning'er did indeed research on it."

Ning'er had been kicked out of Beijing and had taken a group in the Research Institute silently.

He had finally researched something.

But he hadn't known to hand it over to the Yang family.

The Yang family found out about it and ordered Poison Dragon to snatch it.

Later, a series of accidents had been caused at Pan Mingyue's house.

Ning'er was very smart and had given the things to Chen Shulan.

It was so that Qin Ran could exchange it with her life if she was threatened by the Yang family in the future.

"Crack—"

A faint fire rose.

It seemed to know what Cheng Juan was about to do.

Yang Shuyan stepped forward. "Cheng Juan!"

The tongue of the fire swallowed the paper.

Letting go, the ashes scattered all over Cheng Juan. "For this, how many people have died? Everyone regards her as a chess piece. Such things shouldn't have appeared in this era in the first place."

As he lightly raised his head, Matthew entered.

Upstairs.

In Qin Ran's room, she solemnly kowtowed three times in Yun Cheng's direction.
