Chapter 511: 712 Explosion Case

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She had been to the Beijing University research laboratory before, to test the medicine that Chen Shulan took.

When Chen Shulan passed on a while later, she had left some things behind.

Qin Yu and Mu Ying did not want it.

Ning Wei did not take them, either. Hence, the belongings were left with her and Mu Nan.

Qin Ran looked at Principal Xu for a while and responded with, “I got it.”

Back then, Chen Shulan would rather have died than stepped into Beijing. She hadn’t mentioned anything about Beijing to her, either.

“Since you’re back in Beijing now, you have to stay close to Third Young Master Cheng for now. Don’t go anywhere without him.” Principal Xu glanced at the door as he asked, “Where are the rest?”

“He’s waiting for me outside.”

“Alright.” While Cheng Juan seemed to not have anything to do around Beijing, Principal Xu was clear that the still waters run deep. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten Cheng Juan to look out for his heir.

Cheng Juan surely knew the current situation.

“Teacher, I’ll get going first then,” Qin Ran said.

Principal Xu had nothing more to say and so walked her to the door.

Butler Xu was standing behind Principal Xu. Upon seeing her leave, he said, “Old Master...”

It took a while before Principal Xu said, “Back then, the Old Master of the Qin family had seemed so upright, but he was helping Ning’er secretly. Look at the Qin family now. Who knows how Yaoguang’s trip to Continent M was this time...”

Principal Xu looked up at the gloomy sky. Most of the other strongholds in Beijing were guessing that the Xu family was trying to outdo the Cheng family in order to become the most powerful name in Beijing. But they didn’t know that they were trying to protect themselves through their power in Continent M.

“Old Master, they’re still waiting for you for the family meeting.” There was a meeting in the morning.

Upon hearing that Qin Ran was coming back, Elder Xu had postponed the meeting by 30 minutes.

He headed to the hall.

As he expected, they were still talking about Qin Ran.

“Master, I already said that you can’t trust an outsider to take over the Research Institute. People are all selfish. No matter how righteous she is, I don’t believe that she can be completely unfazed by such a huge institute.” One of the stakeholders of the Xu family got up and said, “It’s barely been two days, and she’s been sent back by Young Master Xu already.”

Principal Xu was sitting in the Master’s seat and did not respond.

If it wasn’t because Ning’er left Beijing back then, he wouldn’t have had the chance to take over the Research Institute either.

“Master, you have to think twice!”

“Yes, Master...”

They took turns to express their opinions.

Butler Xu came in holding his cell phone. He seemed to be in shock. “O-Old Master, Young Master is calling...”

Elder Xu’s hand stiffened as he turned to look at him. “What did he say? Did they get it?”

The Xu family had been especially concerned with the matters in Continent M in the recent two years.

All of them suddenly turned to Butler Xu, momentarily forgetting about Qin Ran.

Butler Xu paused. “Young Master said that Miss Qin...”

One of them slammed on the table. “I already said, she won’t be of any help. She only makes things worse!”

“No, our Xu family isn’t just going to get 1% of the market share, it’s 1% of the economic center’s! They called the moment they got the official signature, but you didn’t pick up your phone, that’s why they contacted me.” Elder Xu hurriedly handed the cell phone to Elder Xu.

The rest of the Xu family members were slightly stunned. “1% of the economic center market share? H-How is this possible?”

Back then, it had cost the Xu family a lot just to get 1% of the normal share. It took them so much in order to gain the Mas family’s trust. How did they suddenly obtain the economic center’s share right away now?

Did they get lucky?

Butler Xu took a deep breath and tried to explain. “It seems like it’s because of Miss Qin...”

He went on to let them know exactly what Xu Yaoguang had told him.

“Miss Qin did not ask Mr. Carlo for any commission whatsoever. She just asked for them to give 1% of the economic center share to the Xu family. If it wasn’t for her, we probably wouldn’t even be able to get 1% of the periphery region, much less the economic center.”

With that, everyone in the hall went quiet.

They knew that Butler Xu and Xu Yaoguang couldn’t possibly be lying about it.

If they chose to lie, they’d only be exposed soon.

The man who slammed the table and was planning to push the blame to Qin Ran previously went quiet. His face got a little red...

...

Outside the Xu household.

After Qin Ran went in to meet Principal Xu, Cheng Juan parked the car and headed to the Xu family’s driveway.

There was a tall figure standing there.

“Mr. Feng.” Cheng Juan greeted politely.

The man turned around. He looked elegant despite being rather old.

It was Feng Loucheng.

Qin Ran addressed him as Uncle Feng, and Cheng Juan was very respectful towards him too.

He looked at Cheng Juan deeply. “Young Master Cheng.”

“You should know what I’m here for.” Cheng Juan signaled for him to stand closer to the edge. “The 712 case had been deliberately kept a secret. We couldn’t find out about it even after so long...”

On that note, Cheng Juan bowed towards Feng Loucheng slightly and said, “Mr. Feng, if you could please tell me the truth, I’d owe you a favor.”

Feng Loucheng’s eyes seemed distant as he heard that.

He roughly knew what Cheng Juan had come for. “I don’t need a favor.” Feng Loucheng took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and handed Cheng Juan a stick. Cheng Juan received it, and then Feng Loucheng went on to light his own cigarette. “A few people know about this, actually. It’s just that the order we received is to keep this among ourselves.”

Cheng Juan did not light the cigarette. He simply listened to Feng Loucheng quietly.

“712 is a major case. You should know that several people died.” Feng Loucheng took a deep breath.

A cloud of smoke came up between them.

Cheng Juan nodded.

That was all he found, nothing more.

Feng Loucheng took a while before he went on. “The explosion... the reactors originally came from her.”
