Chapter 501: The Abandoned Child
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone could tell that Qin Ran wasn’t simple.
Her expression clearly did not belong to an ordinary person.
Although Second Uncle Xu was stunned, he paid attention to Qin Ran’s expression, so he was not mistaken.
Xu Yaoguang had also felt it. At that time, Cheng Mu was also more calm than shocked.
Xu Yaoguang turned to look at Second Uncle Xu. “Grandfather must have his reasons for choosing her. Please don’t doubt him.”
After that, he walked towards the study table and updated Elder Xu on what had happened today.
Second Uncle Xu stood behind him wanting to speak.
But he couldn’t think of what to say, so he closed the door and left.
…
It was nighttime soon.
Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were having a video call.
“How’s the Mas family’s market being divided?” Cheng Juan wanted to ask Qin Ran about her message today in WeChat. However, she wasn’t cooperating, and he didn’t question her further.
Qin Ran leaned on the only chair in the room, frowning. “By the Champion.”
“So casual?” Cheng Juan laughed. He walked towards the window and opened it.
“It’s not casual. They lost several men due to the fight. Besides… fighting for the champion t.i.tle is also a game.” The allocation of these forces was definitely not random. Qin Ran looked out her window and smiled.
Cheng Juan leaned and sat by the window still. Hearing this, he immediately stood up. “Come out with Cheng Mu now. I will send someone to pick you two up.”
He quickly got the point.
The division of forces was to be decided by the Champion. This wasn’t a small matter and was beneficial to the Mas family…
But how could the fight be so simple?
They would definitely attack Bo Te first.
Qin Ran did not reply and looked at Cheng Juan’s window through her screen. “You just smoked.”
Definitely.
“That’s nonsense.” Cheng Juan pressed on his lips and coughed lightly.
“Don’t worry. I’m cheris.h.i.+ng my life now. Nothing will happen to Cheng Mu as well.” She didn’t care much about it through the phone.
Cheng Juan paused and frowned. “Don’t do anything.”
“I won’t if it isn’t needed.” Qin Ran yawned as she recalled something. “How are your markets allocated?”
Did they really need to fight the Underground Alliance?
“How are you so familiar with Continent M? You even know the changes to the force allocation every three years.” Cheng Juan laughed and looked at her.
Qin Ran did not reply.
He smiled briefly before saying, “I did not partic.i.p.ate today.”
Qin Ran hung up.
Feeling that something was amiss, she sat up and sent a message to Cheng Shui.
Cheng Shui was busy at the moment. “Miss Qin, regarding the market allocation this year, Boss gave it to Matthew.”
He gave it to Matthew?
Qin Ran sat on the chair and pursed her lips slightly. Matthew and Cheng Shui had always been enemies.
The allocation was very important this year. With Cheng Shui, Cheng Huo, and the others’ personalities, why would they let it go to their enemy…
Qin Ran looked at her phone and saw a voice message from Cheng Shui. She didn’t listen to it.
However, her hand tensed up.
Cheng Juan gave up the site to Matthew…
There must be some relations.h.i.+p between those two.
As she was thinking, a black shadow pa.s.sed by the streetlights.
The moonlight in February wasn’t bright. Only the streetlights illuminated the roads.
Holding her phone, Qin Ran went over to Cheng Mu’s room without closing her door.
Cheng Mu could sense that something was wrong.
He heard the noises and saw Qin Ran.
She gestured to him, and they hurried down the third level.
Cheng Mu saw someone nearby carefully approaching while swiftly avoiding the corners. He dashed forward and swiftly stabbed him.
“This is an ambush. Be careful of explosives.” Qin Ran found a homemade bomb on the edge of the wall. She didn’t show much of an expression and said with a clear mind, “Go and inform the others. I will continue searching.”
They split ways.
Cheng Mu went in while Qin Ran stayed outside to look for more bombs.
On the third floor.
Some had already felt that something was amiss when Cheng Mu informed them.
Boom.
A small reactor in the hallway exploded.
Weapons couldn’t be brought into the Mas family’s territory. The explosive was homemade, so the impact was small.
“Young Master Xu! Run! It’s an attack!” Second Uncle Xu ran towards Xu Yaoguang’s room and pulled on his arm.
Xu Yaoguang took out his phone and kicked open Qin Ran’s room’s door.
“Where’s she?” Xu Yaoguang screamed in panic.
“Who knows where she has gone in the middle of the night? Didn’t we tell her to not run about in Continent M? Young Master Xu, let’s escape first. She might already be downstairs!” Second Uncle Xu said impatiently.
The two were the last to rejoin the other Xu family members.
When they were out, they realized that Bo Te stayed with them in the third district instead of the first district! No wonder they were attacked!
“Young Master Xu, get in the car!” Second Uncle Xu pushed Xu Yaoguang into the car.
Xu Yaoguang’s hand was on the car door as he looked towards Cheng Mu. “Where’s Miss Qin?”
Cheng Mu looked behind him. “Miss Qin hasn’t come out?”
“Start driving.” Second Uncle Xu rushed the driver.
Bo Te’s car had already left. This place was dangerous and seemed like it was about to explode.
Xu Yaoguang shouted, “Wait!”
“We cannot wait. Let’s go!” Second Uncle Xu was ruthless.
The driver was also a member of the Xu family. He stepped on the accelerator with a straight expression.
