Ye Qiao cleared her throat and kept her emotions intact. She then told him about Qin Lan.
Qin Lan’s restaurant was mainly opened for bribery and money laundering. The accounts were all fake. For example, a bottle of wine that costs 500 yuan would be sold on paper at 5000. Ye Shengxun did not know about the money involved, but now that he was resigning, they needed to go through his assets carefully to avoid him having to take the blame for Qin Lan.
That was how Qin Lan framed him in their previous life.

Five days later, Qin Lan’s restaurant was still banned from opening.
She suspected that it could not be Ye family as they would not dare to fight against her now! She was rather confident of her suspicion.
Remembering how she forced the Ye family to get Ye Zhenzhen into J University made Qin Lan very happy. She wanted to annoy Ye Qiao and the whole Ye family with this move. It pleased her to think of how disgusted they must be!
“Madam Qin, I asked around for you. They said you offended someone!”
“Who did I offend?!” Qin Lan was holding her cellphone tightly to her ear. Over the past few days, not only did the restaurant lose money from not being able to operate, but her ‘customers’ were all agitated thinking that the Qin family got into trouble!
“I heard that it’s the Lu family. Madam Qin, you can offend anyone but them!”
In J town, the Lu family was the ultimate symbol of power. Therefore, Qin Lan was frightened by what she heard. “When did I offend them?!”
She was dumbfounded. She would die to get the chance to fawn over them, so why would she offend them?!
“The information is accurate. Madam Qin, be careful!” The person warned her and hung up.
Qin Lan collapsed on the sofa. Her mind was a mess. She could not figure out how she could have offended the Lu family. Who could it be?!

On the 6th day of the training, most of the students had become adjusted to the lifestyle and had shed a layer of skin from the scorching sun rays. Ye Qiao did not know if it was the sunscreen that worked or if Lu Xiaogun did some tricks, but she did not get darker at all.
Lu Xiaogun had been very quiet these few days; it was as though he did not exist. The little boy was very cold. She was usually the one who talked to him first, and in fact, he never initiated a conversation with her when there were no urgent matters!
In contrast, not only did Ye Zhenzhen become very dark, but she also seemed to have an allergic reaction of sorts to the UV rays. Her pretty face was now black and red.
She was in the medical room again and already had five marks deducted from her out of the 10 that were available!
“Ye Zhenzhen, just give up already!” As the liaison officer, Ye Qiao was sent to the medical room to comfort Ye Zhenzhen. Ye Zhenzhen could only glare at her.
Ye Zhenzhen had tried to contact her mom, but they were not allowed to leave until the training was over. She even stole Ye Qiao’s cellphone, but every time she tried to make a call, she heard some scary noises and threw the phone away.
On the training ground, the students were having their army crawl training. The students were all lying on the ground and were hardly crawling properly. Most of the female students dragged themselves forward painfully.
Ye Qiao was panting on the ground, getting ready for the next set of exercises.
Meanwhile, Instructor Lu was holding a black stopwatch and kneeled on one knee before her.
“I dreamt of you yesterday night.” His lips almost touched her ear.
There he goes again!
