Who would knock on the door at this time? Uncle Hai froze.

Only a few people knew that Master Wei was in Yun Cheng, and they had already come to visit him in the past two days.

Today, only those from the other province associations had called.

Who else could it be?

Uncle Hai put down the teapot in his hand and walked over to the door.

An old man stood outside the door, wearing reading glasses and a black tunic suit, looking neat and meticulous.

Uncle Hai froze for a moment in surprise before reacting. Elder Elder Xu?

The Xu family generally stayed in their own circle and didnt appear in public, but Xu Yaoguang was acquainted with Master Wei, so Uncle Hai had indeed seen Principal Xu personally before.

It was just that Principal Xu generally didnt interact with other families.

Although Master Wei was still in contact with Xu Yaoguang, he was distant from the Xu family.

After all, it didnt mean the families in Beijing could be close to him just because they tried.

Excuse me, this is Master Weis room, right? Principal Xu glanced at the door number.

Yes. Uncle Hai hurriedly opened the door. Please come in.

Uncle Hai closed the door once Principal Xu was inside the room. Old Master, its Elder Xu.

Master Wei, who had just put down his phone and was holding a glass of water, stood up and put the cup down in surprise. Elder Xu, please sit.

He also felt strange inside. He wasnt that close to the Xu family, was he?

1Why was Elder Xu looking for him?

Uncle Hai poured a cup of tea for Principal Xu.

Master Wei, I actually came for one of my students, Qin Ran, Principal Xu said straightaway while holding the teacup in his hand. I heard that you accepted her as a disciple yesterday.

Oh, so Elder Xu is here for this matter. Master Wei was surprised but managed to conceal it.

Was it because of Miss Qin again?

Uncle Hai froze for a moment. A character like Principal Xu was also Miss Qins friend?

1But people like Lu Zhaoying had even appeared, so it seemed like a small matter to include someone like Elder Xu.

Uncle Hai thought to himself numbly and stiffly.

Its not just that. Principal Xu shook his head. He took a sip of tea, fell silent for a while, and then said faintly, I just wanted to ask you, how did you make Qin Ran agree to learn the violin from you?

Master Wei was taken aback. He didnt expect Principal Xu to ask this question.

You also know that Ive yet to settle on an heir. These past three years, Ive been in Yun Cheng searching for an heir, but she never agreed to it. Principal Xu didnt hide the matter from him, because he really wanted to know how Master Wei had made Qin Ran promise him.

Master Wei nodded while listening.

Speaking of which, you should have guessed that Im talking about your disciple, Qin Ran. Principal Xu put the cup on the table and looked up.

Oh. Master Wei nodded.

He subconsciously took another sip of water.

However, his reaction came a little late.

Cough

1He coughed violently and Uncle Hai hurriedly patted his back.

Principal Xu looked at Master Weis face ruthlessly and wasnt at all sympathetic.

1About three minutes later, Master Wei finally came to a halt. He looked up and placed the cup forcefully on the table. Elder Xu, what did you just say? I seem to have heard wrongly.

Principal Xu repeated himself with a blank expression.

I know her temper well. Principal Xu looked at Master Wei faintly. I just want to know, how did you persuade her?

Oh. Master Wei was still in a daze and wasnt in the right state. She definitely cant be persuaded, you will have to find her grandma.

Her grandma? Principal Xu nodded.

2Then, he stood up very gracefully. Master Wei, my apologies for taking the liberty to disturb you today. I have booked a table at En Yu tomorrow, I hope you can do me the honor by coming.

Elder Xu left.

The two of them still hadnt reacted to it.

Did Elder Xu just say that his chosen heir is Ran Ran? Master Wei glanced at Uncle Hai.

The influence of the Xu family in Beijing was unspeakable and in a completely different direction from Master Wei. Others respected Master Wei and gave him face, but as for the Xu family, they had real power in their hands.

1Uncle Hai nodded with difficulty. Yes it seems so

**

In the hospital.

Ning Qing, Old Master Lin, Lin Qi, and all the important members of the Lin family seemed to be here.

1Mom, Old Master is here to see you. Ning Qing came in and helped Chen Shulan cushion the pillow behind her.

Chen Shulan was low in energy and just glanced at them before coughing twice and saying lightly, Thank you.

Everyone in the Lin family except Lin Qi and Old Master Lin frowned at her attitude.

1In their eyes, Ning Qings family was only basking in Qin Yus glory.

At best, Chen Shulan was a rural woman who could live in the VIP ward area of the hospital due to the Lin familys privilege, yet she still carried such an attitude.

4But these people didnt say it out loud.

Ning Qings voice slowed down. You didnt attend the apprenticeship banquet in Beijing, so we discussed and decided to hold another one in Yun Cheng. The two families can attend and interact with one another for these two days.

Hearing this, Chen Shulan finally opened her eyes. She stared at Ning Qing, then closed her eyes again.

Im not going, she said in a sickly, cold voice.

1Ning Qing pursed her lips.

1Old Master Lin maintained the smile on his face and said, Shes probably tired, you dont have to force her.

His tone was slow and his emotions were unpredictable.

They left the ward, but Ning Qing remained inside.

Grandpa, this Chen Shulan is too ignorant. A young man frowned.

Old Master Lin put his hand behind his back and said lightly, Shes a countrywoman, theres no need to haggle with her.

The elevator door opened.

An old man wearing reading glasses came out.

Lin Qi had met Principal Xu when Qin Yu started school and naturally knew him, so he froze for a moment before greeting quickly. Principal Xu.

Principal Xu was too anxious to find Chen Shulan and paused when he heard someone calling him. He pulled down his glasses and didnt have much of an impression of Lin Qi, so he just nodded and didnt say anything.

After he left.

The Lin family walked into the elevator.

When the elevator door closed, Old Master Lin glanced at Lin Qi. That person just now

Hes Principal Xu, Lin Qi said in a low voice. Three years ago, he became First Middle Schools Principal. I heard that hes from Beijing, and every month, an unknown person with a special license plate number comes to find him.

Old Master Lin was jolted and pondered for a while before saying, He came here because of the former Principals inefficiency The students and teachers of First Middle School all knew this, so it wasnt considered a secret, but nobody knew who Principal Xu was.

After all, in Beijing, much less searching for someone, even mentioning a name could be directly blocked.

Ive already arranged the banquet tomorrow. As for Ran Ran Lin Qi stopped talking about Principal Xu and paused at the mention of Qin Ran.

1Old Master Lin glanced at him and was silent for a moment before saying, Theres no need to notify her.

2At first, he had wanted Lin Qi to win over Qin Ran.

However, fate had it such that because of Meng Xinran, they had no choice but to choose Qin Yu.

1At the moment, he felt thankful for the previous incident. Otherwise, Qin Yus issue had still been unsolved between them, and they might have failed to please both sisters.

Lin Qi sighed and didnt talk about this matter anymore.

**

The schools medical office.

Cheng Juans table had a few more beakers and flasks on it.

He was also holding a reaction test tube in his hand.

Qin Ran laid down on her side and practiced her writing, but she didnt go for her afternoon class.

Old Gao had been very forgiving to her lately.

Of course, all the other teachers except the Physics teacher had been very indulgent to her.

Although she was a little impatient, she still pursed her lips and wrote word by word slowly.

Jiang Dongye was lying on a chair like a corpse.

2Lu Zhaoying leaned on the sofa and raised an eyebrow at Cheng Mu, asking him what was wrong with Jiang Dongye.

It seems the photo of Gu Xichi in his phone got deleted by someone. Cheng Mu gave Jiang Dongye a sympathetic glance.

He only had one of Gu Xichis picture and it had been deleted because he courted disaster.

Now was the era of big data and very few people actually printed photos.

If he had known that Gu Xichi had such a big boss hacker supporting him, he wouldnt have courted disaster and would surely have printed thousands of Gu Xichis photos.

2My uncle is busy again today. Jiang Dongye covered his head with the pillow and put his legs on the table, completely succumbing to his bad luck. He told me to contact Qian Dui, so I went to his workplace a few times and still couldnt find him

At the mention of this, Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying looked at Jiang Dongye with an even weirder expression.

Neither of them dared to tell Jiang Dongye that not only had they seen Jiang Hui yesterday night, but Qian Dui as well

1Ill go find Qian Dui again. Jiang Dongye looked at the time on the phone and stood up. He looked around and glanced at Qin Ran, who was still lying on the table. She has no class?

It was almost three oclock, and according to the schedule of high school students, wasnt she just getting off her first lesson?

Cheng Mu said lightly, Her teacher doesnt care.

Jiang Dongye froze, then he thought about how she had scored a total of 646 excluding her Physics, coughed, and left with his coat.

1Qin Ran finished another page.

The phone in her pocket vibrated.

She took it out absentmindedly.

It was a message from Qin Hanqiu.

She raised her hand and threw the pen onto the table.

Qin Ran leaned back on the chair and directly called him, her voice slightly lowered. Dad?

Qin Hanqiu sounded very happy and said in a rather loud voice, Ran Ran, I just came to Yun Cheng today. Come out tomorrow after school, Ill bring you to a good meal.

1

Qin Ran flipped through her copybook and raised an eyebrow. Why did you come here suddenly?

The Lin family invited us, so I came with your grandma and the others. Qin Hanqiu paused and then said a little cautiously, And your brother too. If you dont like it, I wont bring him along

Qin Ran closed the book, pressed her temple, and thought for a while. Where are you now?

We just got off the bus at the bus station, Qin Hanqiu answered in a loud voice. The Lin familys car is driving us to the hotel.

He had sent her a message the moment he got off the bus.

Qin Ran glanced at Cheng Juan, who was looking at something under a microscope. She stood up, took two steps to the side, and whispered, Which hotel?

Qin Hanqiu told her the hotel name.

Coincidentally, it was the same hotel where Master Wei and Gu Xichi were staying.

Qin Ran still wanted to ask Gu Xichi several things, so she said, Okay. Wait there, Ill go find you.

**

Half an hour later, at Yun Ding Hotel, the only international five-star hotel in Yun Cheng.

It was a hotel under Yunguang Consortium.

It was definitely a first-class place in terms of confidentiality.

By the time Qin Ran arrived, Qin Hanqiu and all the Ning familys relatives were all in the lobby.

Qin Hanqiu was wearing a new trench coat and his face was a little tanned. He was anxiously saying something to a short-haired woman, nodding and bowing with a flushed face.

A 10-year-old little boy stood beside him.

The short-haired woman stood beside two men in black, who were either assistants or bodyguards.

The other relatives of the Ning family stood very far apart as if they didnt know Qin Hanqiu.

Whats going on? Qin Ran approached, frowning.

The short-haired woman glanced at Qin Ran and paused on her uniform. She raised a sharp eyebrow and didnt tell her anything, just looked at Qin Hanqiu lightly. Well wait for the police to come first.

Qin Ran looked to the side and saw a young woman behind the bodyguard and the short-haired woman.

It was rather cold, so she wore a dress and a coat.

She had wavy curls and looked very charming.

She was wearing black sunglasses and her face couldnt be seen clearly, but someone was taking pictures of her not far away, so she was probably a celebrity.

Aunt Zhang was responsible for the Ning familys accommodation, so she called Lin Qi now and ignored Qin Ran. If this incident became a big problem, it would affect the Lin family the most.

Her expression was dark and she looked extremely irritated.

Xiao Ling bumped this Miss Li just now and her necklace was missing, so your cousins mother said that Xiao Ling took it. Although Xiao Ling is disobedient, he really didnt do it Qin Hanqiu pursed his lips. Ran Ran, dont come over, the police are arriving soon.

The Ning family had already distanced themselves and Aunt Zhang didnt even want to talk to them.

Qin Hanqiu didnt want to implicate Qin Ran.

Qin Ran was pretty clear about the situation after hearing this. She glanced at Qin Ling and said quietly, Wouldnt you know after looking at the monitoring video?

Aunt Zhang glanced at Qin Ran and smirked a little when she heard Qin Ran say something only an ignorant country bumpkin would.

The short-haired woman glanced sharply at Qin Ran and suddenly laughed. Do you think you own Yun Ding Hotel? Can you see the monitoring video as and when you like?

2Qin Ran raised an eyebrow after hearing this.
