Principal Xu grabbed her hand. Its ok, Ran Ran. This isnt related to you. When Elder Cheng died, I knew that I wouldnt have much time left. In reality, I have let you down before. At the start when your grandfather was chased out of Continent M, Beijing, and the physics world, the Xu family just watched, and I have felt guilty about this for many years. Your grandma was so disappointed that she didnt want to return to Beijing. Now, Ive finally found a chance to make it up to them

Thinking about this, his grip tightened. My calculations were wrong. I thought that those people wouldnt go after you since so many years have passed and only Fang Zhenbo would be your enemy after you became the heir of the Research Institute

Ran Ran, promise me that you will refine your grandfathers research and introduce it to the world. Youre his only descendant, so dont be impulsive. Otherwise, all of our sacrifices will be in vain!

I should have died, anyway. This is considered a form of release. Principal Xu sighed. I only sent you abroad because I was afraid that Cheng Juan couldnt protect you. Since youre back again, follow him then. I can only hope that he will protect you well

Principal Xu coughed, and his voice was very weak. He turned to look at Xu Yaoguang. I never thought that I could see you two before I die. I trust your abilities and that the Xu family can weather this storm.

Qin Rans palm was almost bleeding.

After Principal Xu said that, his hand slowly fell to the bed.

He looked at Qin Ran and Xu Yaoguang worriedly.

Grandpa! Xu Yaoguang knelt by his bed.

Qin Ran looked out of the hospital in a daze. Tears were already welling in her voice.

Butler Xu also knelt beside the hospital bed with Xu Yaoguang.

There were suppressed sobs in the hospital ward.

After a long time.

Qin Ran finally spoke. Butler Xu, was it Ouyang Wei?

Butler Xu did not respond.

Qin Ran nodded and did not say anything more. She just muttered, Ill get them one by one.

1

After that, she took a step back and walked out.

Qin Ran! What are you doing?! Gu Xichi quickly chased after her.

The kneeling Butler Xu also responded.

He wiped his tears and looked at her. Miss Qin, dont be impulsive. Didnt you hear what Old Master said? They did it on purpose. It wasnt Ouyang Wei but someone close to Ming Hai. We dont have any evidence, and Old Master Qin also died in such an unclear manner. It happened because Old Master refused to remove your status as the heir!

In Old Masters eyes, youre the heir. As long as youre here, Fang Zhenbo and the others will not have a chance. The fact that he went to this extent for you Why do you have to be impulsive and waste his efforts?! Butler Xu immediately reprimanded her.

In reality, Xu Shiyings death was a little related to Qin Ran, but Butler Xu knew that even without her, it would be difficult for Xu Shiying to escape this outcome.

1

He said this entirely because he wanted Qin Ran to cherish her life.

As long as she wasnt impulsive and stayed with Cheng Juan, Ouyang Wei and Ming Hai wouldnt dare to hurt her.

However, if Qin Ran was rash, she would definitely expose many flaws.

Xu Shiyings death wasnt enough to protect her

Why me? Qin Ran finally understood the truth from Butler Qin. She never knew that her identity was so important.

She stopped at the doorway.

She glanced at the hospital bed emotionlessly. Is it his confidant? Ive got it. Wait for me to come back.

After that, she took her phone and walked towards the elevator.

She was wrong. Chen Shulan was wrong too.

It was no use avoiding those people.

Even though grandfather hid in Ninghai Town, he couldnt escape the explosion.

More than two dozen researchers died.

1

She also couldnt escape Principal Xus death.

Even Ning Wei was implicated.

Chen Shulan died even though she didnt step foot in the capital.

They all couldnt avoid it.

Why should she still hide, then?

Miss Qin! Butler Qin stood up. He didnt expect Qin Ran to ignore everyone.

Cheng Mu also did not expect Qin Ran to leave.

Behind them, neither Gu Xichi nor Cheng Shui was stupid. They understood Butler Qins words.

The two of them were aware of Qin Rans personality.

She would rather trust her instincts.

Would someone willing to fight in the Underground Arena be willing to give up so quickly?

Seeing Qin Ran walk out like that, they guessed that she was probably going to look for Ouyang Wei or Ming Hai.

The two of them looked at each other in worry and quickly chased after her as well.

Miss Qin, dont be impulsive. Wait for Master Juan to come back. Cheng Shui blocked the elevator door.

He also stopped Qin Ran because he was fearful of Ouyang Wei.

Qin Ran looked up with a cold expression. Seeing red, she commanded, You wont win a fight against me, so move aside.

1

Cheng Shui wanted to continue blocking her path, but he knew that Qin Ran was right.

She was the champion of the Underground Arena, and Cheng Shui was no match against her.

Seeing Qin Rans icy gaze, Cheng Shui opened his mouth and sighed before giving way.

Qin Ran walked directly into the elevator.

Cheng Shui and Gu Xichi looked at each other and followed her.

Butler Xu was worried for Qin Rans safety. Miss Qin, if you are like this, Young Master Cheng wont be able to protect you

Ding

The elevator door opened.

Qin Ran walked out of the hospital without looking back.

Cheng Shui followed her silently. He had already contacted Cheng Juan, Cheng Huo, and the others.

Butler Xu was still trying to talk some sense into her.

When they walked out of the hospital, they saw two rows of intimidating men in black.

Butler Xus expression changed. It must be their men, Miss Qin. Dont be impulsive. I already said that you and Young Master shouldnt come back.

Qin Ran walked around Butler Xu and walked towards the men in black.

The leader took a step forward and said, Qing Lin is on standby!

Qing Lin was the first general under Giant Crocodile.
