    “Ding—”


    The elevator door opened and Qin Ran went in.


    Butler Qin followed her in, and through the gap of the closing elevator door, he saw the Fourth Master and the othersing out of the conference room.


    Only after the door fully closed did he finally look away and shake his head. “No, the Young Master can’t participate. He has to rest for a few months,” he said, dejected.


    Craniotomy had a great impact on the nervous system.


    Even if the medicine from the Research Institute was strong in recovery, he wouldn’t let Qin Ling take the risk.


    Her voice still calm and her eyes deep, Qin Ran said, “I didn’t say he would.”


    On Saturday, not many people were in thepany, so the elevator quickly reached the first floor.


    Butler Qin widened his eyes in astonishment. Following her out, he saw Cheng Mu’s car parked opposite. “But... if not the Young Master... then who...”


    Upon hearing this, Qin Ran chuckled in a low voice, but her dark eyes weren’t warm at all.


    She stuck her hands in her pocket, stopped by the car, and said coldly to Butler Qin, “Me.”


    Immediately after, she opened the co-pilot seat’s door and then got into the back seat.


    But Butler Qin was still standing rooted to the spot, his expression stiff and his mind in a daze.


    Cheng Mu waited for 10 seconds before calling him. “Butler Qin?”


    “Huh?” He reacted and got into the co-pilot seat, feeling dazed.


    After another three minutes, he finally returned to his senses and looked at Qin Ran in the rearview mirror. She waszily leaning against the car door, holding a printed document in her hand with her eyshes drooping as she read the content with unclear emotions.


    She was veryplicated.


    He didn’t find her easy to provoke at all.


    Butler Qin didn’t dare to ask, but he couldn’t help but wonder what she meant?


    Was she saying that she would participate in Qin Ling’s ce?


    In fact...


    The main point was... could she?

    Upstairs.


    The elevator entrance.


    The Fourth Master’s subordinate had clearly heard Butler Qin and Qin Ran’s conversation.


    “Fourth Master, what do you think they meant?” He looked at the elevator that just reached the first floor and hesitated slightly.


    Fourth Master Qin was also frowning.


    He didn’t care about Butler Qin, but Qin Ran’s attitude was a little mysterious, and she seemed a little too calm...


    “Have you confirmed Qin Ling’s injury?” He turned and walked towards his office.


    His subordinate respectfully nodded. “He just had a craniotomy and won’t recover so quickly.”


    The Fourth Master also believed this information. Butler Qin’s anxiety and bleakness were evident in itself. “Then don’t worry. Don’t bother with their tricks. Qin Zhao is vicious and has surely lived up to my expectations.”


    His mood improved again.


    Having raised Qin Zhao for so long, he finally helped him out of a big headache.


    Ever since knowing Qin Ling’s existence, he hadn’t eaten or slept well.


    To him, neither Qin Xiuchen nor Qin Hanqiu was enough to make him feel threatened. The only person he felt threatened by was Qin Ling, who was young and talented.


    But now that he had no way to attend the heir selection, the red gs in his heart were immediately withdrawn.


    After all, he naturally didn’t want to let go of 10% of the shares and the status of the heir.

    Half an hourter, Cheng Mu’s car arrived at the hospital.


    Only Butler Qin got out of the car. It was almost time for her appointment with Lu Zhaoying.


    The car couldn’t be parked at the hospital entrance for too long, so Cheng Mu started the car after Butler Qin closed the door.


    Butler Qin stood at the entrance and waited until the car was out of sight before walking in.


    Having taken a restst night, Qin Xiuchen’s manager was in a more refreshed mood today.


    He parked the car and saw Butler Qin walking with heavy thoughts.


    “Butler Qin.” He walked over andforted him. “The Dean said that Xiao Ling is fine. There’s no need to worry.”


    “I’m not worried about this.” The manager was an old acquaintance who knew everything about the Qin family, so he didn’t hide it from him, and told him the story from beginning to end. “In fact, since the shareholders didn’t agree, my original intention was to give up on this opportunity. However, the Young Lady said she would participate in ce of the Young Master...”


    Qin Xiuchen had told him several times not to disturb Qin Ran with these matters.


    But now... the one cleaning up the mess was Qin Ran.


    Butler Qin sighed.


    “She said she would participate in ce of Xiao Ling?” The manager naturally knew about the heir selection. Upon hearing this, he paused and became excited. “That’s good!”


    Butler Qin looked at him inexplicably. “???”


    “Did the little niece tell you she could program?” The manager thought for a while and said, “The movements and skills of the God cards in the Kyushu Tour werepiled by her four years ago. It seems like she even drew the three God cards...”


    Thinking of this, he paused and just patted Butler Qin’s shoulder.


    Still a little confused, Butler Qin looked up, stunned. “You mean Miss Qin can program? Isn’t she a Physics major?”


    She was very powerful in Physics.


    “Yeah, but her technology is not bad either.” The manager shook his head. “I don’t know what questions your selection test will be, but it’s a good thing if she’s willing to participate.”


    The manager had no idea about programming and didn’t know Qin Ran’s level. But, after all, the Qin family had once reached the pinnacle by relying on this. The Qin family had several geniuses and the heir selection was surely perverted, so he didn’t know if Qin Ran could pass.


    He didn’t talk nonsense about this.


    Butler Qin didn’t have any reaction.


    His mind was buzzing, and he found it unbelievable that Qin Ran could program. “She could program four years ago...” he muttered to himself.


    She was 16 four years ago. No matter what program shepiled, to be able to programpletely at that age showed her talent inputing...


    If the Old Master was here, she would surely have received top-notch cultivation in the Qin family since young...

    On the other side.


    Qin Ran had already arrived at the hotel.


    It wasn’t too far from the hospital.


    Lu Zhaoying and Mother Lu were already in the room. Pulling up her scarf to cover most of her face, Qin Ran revealed only a pair of ck and cold eyes. She told the staff the name of the room and followed him to the door.


    When the waiter left, he couldn’t help but steal another nce at her. “She looks so familiar...”


    Inside.


    Mother Lu was prancing about in the room.


    Sitting by the window while ying a game on his phone, Lu Zhaoying groaned. “Mom, stop prancing. You’re making me dizzy.”


    It was getting closer to 12:30 pm. At this time, she didn’t argue with him and simply rolled her eyes.


    Before she could speak, there was a knock on the door.


    With lightning speed, Mother Lu assumed an elegant and virtuous posture. She nced at Lu Zhaoying and motioned to him to open the door.


    Lu Zhaoying was speechless.


    He went to open the door.


    Qin Ran entered.


    Standing up with a gentle smile, Mother Lu maintained an elegant posture and a prim and proper attitude. “You’re Miss Qin, right? I’m Lu Zhaoying’s mother.”


    Qin Ran reached out to take off her scarf and politely nodded at her. “Just call me by my name.”


    They sat down.


    Lu Zhaoying understood their tastes and ordered some dishes using the smart system on the table. Then, he turned to them, propped up his legs, andughed. “I already said you two are very simr.”


    “Ran Ran, eat this.” Mother Lu gave her a piece of ribs and gently said, “It’s their signature dish.”


    “Thank you.” Qin Ran was rather polite.


    Mother Lu had been anxious at home and became more reserved at the sight of Qin Ran.


    Lu Zhaoying couldn’t help but rub his arms. “Mom, don’t do this, I’m scared.”


    “You s...” Mother Lu gritted her teeth and was about to habitually curse. Meeting Qin Ran’s dark and cold eyes, she smiled. “Xiao Lu, eat some vegetables.”


    She gave Lu Zhaoying a small piece of vegetable.


    When Qin Ran was about to leave, she helped arrange her scarf, but Qin Ran stepped back ufortably.


    Lu Zhaoying sent Qin Ran to the hospital and went to see Qin Ling on the way. Behind them, Mother Lu watched them leave.


    “Madam, where to now?” the Lu family’s driver opened the back seat door and asked respectfully.


    Instead of answering, she simply waited for their figures to disappear before opening her right hand.


    The driver followed her gaze and looked down. She had a strand of hair in her hand.


    “Let’s go back.” She sat down, put her bag on herp, unzipped it, and wrapped the strand of hair in a paper towel. Then, she carefully ced it in the innermostpartment.


    Taking out her phone, she clicked on Continent M’s profile and sent a message—
