The cafe was quite big.
The doorway was also wide.
Qin Ran buttoned her windbreaker and then calmly looked at the four people in front of her. She kept her nonchalant expression and then raised her hand. “Let’s go.”
After a minute.
“Boom, boom—”
Four booms.
Ming Hai’s four bodyguards were all lying on the ground.
Qin Ran looked down and lowered her sleeves bit by bit.
The light glow of the morning sun shone on her delicate face, making the cold aura exuding from her even more shocking.
“Miss Qin.” Cheng Mu walked over calmly and gave the phone back to her.
While answering it, Qin Ran walked to the corner of the street to talk to He Chen.
Cheng Mu stopped in place and looked down blankly at the blacked-out bodyguards. He shook his head in admiration.

Inside the cafe.
Cheng Juan looked at Ming Hai and said lightly, “Haven’t you received the news yet? You want to keep her with four bodyguards?”
Cheng Juan pointed a finger at him. “Don’t touch her.”
He finished this sentence lightly and then turned to leave.
Behind him, Ming Hai’s face darkened little by little.
“Master, Qin Ran is a little weird…” His confidant glanced at the four people lying outside.
They had brought capable men on this trip to Beijing, and he himself couldn’t even defeat them.
But Qin Ran had defeated them so easily…
His confidant’s expression kept changing.
Not to mention him, even Ming Hai narrowed his eyes. “Help me contact Mr. Yang first…”
Inside the car.
Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Qin Ran was talking to He Chen on the phone and flipping through the information given by Cheng Juan.
“I’m going to put Ouyang Wei at your side,” she said calmly.
He Chen raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
This little girl was a little cruel.
Qin Ran said lightly, “Yes.”
“Okay, I’ll send you an official letter later. By the way, I’m keeping an eye on Yun Cheng.” He Chen laughed. “It hasn’t been very peaceful lately. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Mu family as you’ve requested, but it’s better to do it in Beijing. Yun Cheng is too far and beyond my influence.”
Qin Ran flipped through the file and paused. “I’ll think about it.”
Mu Nan was easy to settle, but as for Ning Wei…
She wasn’t sure if she would come to Beijing.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Ran thought about it more and continued flipping through the documents.
No one had come to find Ouyang Wei after Qin Ran had left that night. Feeling uneasy, Ouyang Wei had already confessed to Principal Xu’s affairs.
Things were no different than what Butler Xu said.
It was indeed Ouyang Wei who had told Principal Xu the truth behind the incident back then.
She obviously knew much more than Principal Xu.
Ning’er had been considered a prodigy back then and had researched several patented technologies on the crater. He had relied on these to make a connection between Beijing and Continent M.
However, several forces had been working behind his back. Fang Zhenbo was tempted by one of Ning’er’s experiments and exposed his body to radiation.
None of the Xu family had come to lend a helping hand when Ning’er was forced out.
Everyone kicks a man who is down.
They all wanted to obtain the results of Ning’er’s research, but even if he finally withdrew from Beijing, they could only obtain the semi-finished product of the third underground floor of the Physics laboratory.
Qin Ran could guess what followed later.
Ning’er and Chen Shulan had returned to Ninghai Town to remain anonymous, but that didn’t mean they had stopped researching.
Later on, in the huge explosion in Ninghai Town’s laboratory, several researchers had died…
This incident involved countless lives and was indeed linked to the Xu family…
Qin Ran read the information without any changes in her expression. Having already heard about it from Butler Xu, she wasn’t shocked to read these words at the moment.
She couldn’t say that the Xu family had been in the wrong.
After all, it would have been helpless even if they had reached out to help…
It was also true that Principal Xu was paving the way for her.
She closed her eyes.
She never expected Principal Xu to have such an extreme character. He would rather die than tell her the truth.
The car stopped at the brigade where Hao Dui was.
Cheng Juan got out of the car and walked to the co-pilot seat. “Get out first. How’s the Xu family?”
Qin Ran kept the documents. “I sent someone to the Xu family’s house. I should be able to calm the atmosphere.”
“That’s good.” Cheng Juan nodded and headed inside with her. “What about your aunt?”
He had heard her conversation with He Chen in the car.
“I’ll ask her.” Qin Ran’s expression was cold and calm. “If not, I’ll go back to find her myself.”
She would be on edge if Ning Wei didn’t come to Beijing.
“Is Sister Cheng alright?” Qin Ran asked about her instead.
She remembered that the Cheng family was preparing to elect the next Patriarch. In the face of Elder Xu’s affairs, the Cheng family would have to put their plans on halt temporarily… After all, people in Beijing now knew that without unity, the four major families would only be a thing of the past.
“We’ll see.” Cheng Juan shook his head and went straight into the office.
Cheng Shui and Hao Dui were already there.
“Boss, Miss Qin.” When they saw Qin Ran and Cheng Juan come in in the middle of their meeting, they quickly stood up and immediately became restrained.
“Trouble?” Cheng Juan glanced at them.
Hao Dui shook his head and closed the document in his hands. “The wanted order can’t be executed. The domestic…”

He frowned.
With Ming Hai’s oppression, even if Ouyang Wei was temporarily detained, the situation in Beijing was still extremely chaotic.
Qin Ran sat down across from him and looked up. “No, I have somewhere else to go.”
