The people in the laboratory couldn’t help but stare at Qin Ran in shock.
They exchanged glances, completely frightened.
At this juncture, Qin Ran couldn’t possibly be lying.
Heavy-duty prison…
What was this again?
The forces involving Ouyang Wei were somewhat secretive.
Ordinary people didn’t know much about the existence of heavy-duty prisons.
Hao Dui and the others wouldn’t publicize it openly.
“Take me to see Scholar Liao.” Qin Ran turned and said lightly to Brother Ye, “The Xu family has a batch of goods to be shipped to Continent M the day after tomorrow.”
“Oh?” Brother Ye was also considered a knowledgeable person. He was still stunned at this moment, before reacting and following Qin Ran.
Nan Huiyao and the others exchanged glances and followed them as well.
After they left, the remaining talents in the laboratory dared not say anything. Zuo Qiurong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. “Scholar Lu… is what she said true? Then, Ouyang Wei…”
“She has no need to lie.” Scholar Lu shook his head slightly, looking at the disappearing figure outside the glass window.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qiurong took an involuntary step back and muttered, “How could that be? She’s from the Ouyang family…”
It hadn’t been a day or two since the Ouyang family replaced the Qin family and wanted to win the first family position in Beijing.
Although Ming Hai hadn’t publicly appeared and helped them, he had secretly helped smooth out a lot of the Ouyang family’s troubles.
After Elder Xu’s death, Xu Yaoguang didn’t have enough methods, and the Xu family had no leader. Hence, Fang Zhenbo at the Research Institute had already moved closer to Ming Hai.
In the previous handover ceremony, Fang Zhenbo had no other choice but to hand in the Fang seal thanks to the Yunguang Consortium.
No matter how powerful he was, he dared not attack Old Master Yang’s goddaughter.
Two days ago, the Yunguang Consortium announced Qin Ran’s affairs. Fang Zhenbo and Ming Hai had acted immediately.
In Zuo Qiurong’s eyes, the Ouyang family was basically an unshakable existence.
Especially Ouyang Wei, who had been in full swing in Beijing.
People like Zuo Qiurong and the others didn’t pay attention to the current situation of 129’s Ouyang Wei. Out of the various prestigious families, those who pursued Ouyang Wei were even more ignorant.
But now that Qin Ran said this…
Which prison did Ouyang Wei go to?
Zuo Qiurong’s teeth were chattering inside.
How did she do it?
“I already told you, don’t participate in Fang Zhenbo’s game. We’ll do our research quietly. After that, it doesn’t matter if the leader of the Research Institute is surnamed Qin, Xu, or Ouyang. It has nothing to do with us.” Scholar Sheng put down the research record and walked around, his brows tightly knitted. “Scholar Lu, you should also know her terrifying potential. Even if she loses the game this time, as long as she’s still alive, she’s still a threat! What shall we do now? Have we offended Qin Ran…”
Besides being researchers, the two were also people in charge of the Research Institute.
They had been able to climb to this position not only because of their merits but also because of their tactics and utilitarianism.
Upon hearing this, Scholar Lu came to a decision. He stood up and slammed the table. “Director Fang is getting old and his eyesight isn’t good. Go and apologize to Qin Ran and Scholar Liao.”
He turned to Zuo Qiurong and said in a gentle voice, “Xiao Zuo, Qin Ran is your junior. You need to deal with it in the middle. Fortunately, we haven’t offended them completely, and haven’t done anything to Scholar Liao. We still have time to patch things.”
This was the first time Zuo Qiurong was taken seriously in the Research Institute. Who knew that it would be because of Qin Ran.
She pursed her lips. “Scholar Lu, that Qin Ran really…”
Scholar Lu didn’t know the secret forces of Ming Hai and Old Master Yang, nor did he know Qin Ran’s trump card. He only moved based on his intuition. “She’s a little unpredictable. If Old Master Yang was still there, give her five years, and she would be standing in the pyramid of Continent M’s Research Institute. I was wavering before, but now I’ve decided to take a risk! Elder Xu can arrange this. He must have his own intentions. In the domestic physics field, when else have we seen anyone bringing three freshmen to the ICNE at the age of 20, and then winning the championship?”
Furthermore, there was the secret that Qin Ran had sent Ouyang Wei to prison.
Scholar Lu tilted his head. “Help me prepare a great gift.”
He was so decisive that Scholar Sheng also bowed his head and pondered for a few minutes. Eventually, he came to the same decision.
…
At Fang Zhenbo’s office.
He sat on his office chair and looked at Scholar Liao calmly. His voice was low and hoarse as if it had been frosted. It made people feel very uncomfortable.
“Scholar Liao, are you really not handing in any core content?” Fang Zhenbo lowered his head and took a sip of tea. “What’s fake is fake. Without the Yunguang Consortium and Elder Xu, what’s left for Qin Ran? She might as well follow me.”
Scholar Liao usually didn’t talk much.
He sat opposite Fang Zhenbo at this time, looking up at him with a light expression.
Seeing how silent he was, Fang Zhenbo frowned. He put down his teacup, his majestic and old face gradually turning cold.
Suddenly, a noise came from outside the office.
Fang Zhenbo’s assistant stopped at the door. “Miss Qin, you can’t enter…”
Before he stopped Qin Ran, Cheng Shui grabbed his neck and threw him aside.
Qin Ran opened the door and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Scholar Liao. “Scholar Liao.”
Scholar Liao stood up calmly and said lightly, “Let’s go back.”
He didn’t say anything else.
He returned to the laboratory with Qin Ran and the others.
Behind him, Fang Zhenbo’s pupils shrunk as he watched them leave. “Liao Gaoang, do you want to become the second Ning’er? You can’t possibly be ignorant of how he rebelled and deserted his friends.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ran suddenly stopped.
Nan Huiyao and the others were also stunned.
They recognized the name Ning’er…
Scholar Liao also stopped. Reaching out, he patted Qin Ran on the shoulder and said lightly, “It’s okay. Let’s go.”
…
At the lounge.
Scholar Liao sat on the sofa, Qin Ran opposite him, and Cheng Shui sat in the corner.
Nan Huiyao poured water for everyone at the drinking fountain.
Scholar Liao took a sip of water. It was 10:30 pm, but he was still full of energy. After watching Qin Ran for a long time, he said, “I have a few people to introduce you to.”
