    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    There was just one word on the webpage—


    Sess


    Was she sessful in the order?


    Was it supposed to be this simple?


    Cheng Wenru checked the instructions on the word document. However, the instructions had a different image of a sessful order aspared to what she was seeing...


    She wanted to ask Qin Ran for help with it, but Qin Ran was really quick inpleting the task. She had only spoken to Old Master Cheng for a couple of minutes and, in less than two minutes, she was done.


    Cheng Wenru held onto the mouse as she tried to understand the webpage. But she was unsessful.


    She closed it eventually.


    She also sent a message to Cheng Juan that Qin Ran had returned home early today.


    ...


    On the other hand, Qin Ran logged onto her social media ount the moment she got back to her room and saw she received research data from Brother Ye and Nan Huiyao.


    The ICNEpetition was supposed to be held in the second week of February. This meant she only had a month left.


    Principal Xu also mentioned that he would be choosing his sessor in March.


    Her thesis on the underground reactor and SCI paper were on par with those produced by the Research Institute. Hence, thepetition in February wasn’t that crucial to her application to the Research Institute.


    However, the ICNEpetition would be crucial to her if she wanted to be considered as Principal Xu’s sessor. This was because thepetition was held on an international scale, so doing well in thepetition carried a lot more weight.


    Qin Ran recalled that Principal Xu mentioned that none of the national youth teams had gotten the top thirty in thepetition before. Hence, if she could get it, it would be great for both Beijing University and the physicsboratories across the country.


    Hence, thispetition was quite a challenge to Qin Ran.


    As she thought about thepetition, she received a message.


    It was from Cheng Shui.


    “Miss Qin, are you avable?”


    She looked back in confusion.


    Cheng Shui knew her well enough already and initiated a video conference with her.


    Qin Ran tidied up her pajamas and epted the invitation. She then stood up and switched on the lights.


    “Miss Qin.” It was already 4 am at Continent M. Qin Ran wasn’t sure if Cheng Shui had just gotten up or simply hadn’t slept.


    As he was standing by the side of the road, she couldn’t make up his surroundings.


    Qin Ran sat back down onto the chair. She then left her phone next to her cup of milk and asked, “What’s the matter?”


    “You haven’t forgotten about Mattew and the Mas family, right?” Cheng Shui replied after thinking for a moment.


    Qin Ran replied with a nod, which was a signal for him to continue.


    “We’ve investigated him in Continent M. Second Hall Master and his gang are in the jailhouse at the moment. However, we’re not sure who was involved in it. The main point is that...” Cheng Shui continued carefully after he made sure there wasn’t anyone eavesdropping on him. “Big boss created huge trouble when he left the Continent M earlier this year. The Mas family and the Underground Alliance had one of their divisions destroyed by him. Their anger should have subsided after so long. However, the big boss doesn’t seem keen on keeping a low profile when he returned this time.”


    Continent M had quite a few powerful families.


    However, Cheng Juan wasn’t afraid of any of them.


    But if he were to carry on this way, the Mas family would definitely team up with the other families of the Underground Alliance against them. Cheng Shui was put in a spot.


    “When will you be avable toe to Continent M?” Cheng Shui asked.


    He recalled that when Qin Ran was there previously, Cheng Juan had kept a low profile.


    After listening to his proposition, Qin Ran leaned on her chair with her arms crossed. She frowned as she looked at him and asked, “How could they have the audacity to team up against us?”


    Cheng Shui was speechless.


    He suddenly had a premonition that things would get worse if Qin Ran came.


    Cheng Shui shook his head as he attempted to keep that thought out of his mind.


    He then briefed her on the movements of the forces there.


    Qin Ran continued to lean on her chair as she thought. She then replied, “Let me finish up on my next assignment and theboratory. I should be avable on the day after tomorrow.”


    “Alright,” Cheng Shui replied as he pushed up his gold-rimmed sses. He seemed relieved.


    They hung up.


    Qin Ran closed the files regarding the ICNEpetition and sent Chang Ning a message after thinking for a while.


    Chang Ning replied with a file after half an hour.


    It was regarding an incident that urred at the start of the year.


    Chang Ning: [You’re heading to Continent M again?]


    Qin Ran sat up as she looked at the document. She then replied: [Yes.]


    She didn’t like to write long essays for her replies.


    Chang Ning responded: [Weren’t you there two years ago?]


    Qin Ran stopped replying.


    On the other end of the phone, Chang Ning raised his head and looked at g Dragon. He then said, “I recall receiving a phone call from Continent M on my personal phone two years ago. I was never sessful in finding out the source of the call.”


    All Chang Ning remembered was that the person who called was a female who sounded really sad.


    She must have made a mistake as she hung up immediately when he spoke.


    He couldn’t find out the source previously. The number stopped operating after a couple of days.


    Chang Ning’s personal number was only known by the team members.


    At that time, he always thought that Lone Wolf was a guy, and it did not sound like the voice of the only female of the team, He Chen.


    Chang Ning gave up after he couldn’t get any results.


    As he noticed that Qin Ran was searching for news about Continent M, it reminded him of this past matter.


    “Was it Lone Wolf?” g Dragon asked. He was wearing a pair of flip flops and a denim jacket. He opened a can of beer and continued, “But isn’t she quite familiar with Continent M... Why is she asking that from you all of a sudden? What’s she nning to do with that information? What happened there? Send me a copy of the file too, big boss.”


    g Dragon continued after pausing to drink the beer, “She has provided information about Continent M all this while. She became so distant from us after disappearing for a year. If it wasn’t for her grandma, we would have never seen her again...”


    Chang Ning stood up and headed upstairs.


    g Dragon crushed the can of beer and asked, “Big boss, why are you leaving?”


    As he wanted to continue, a message popped up from his personal ount.


    It was Giant Crocodile.


    “Quickly, send me an order from your ount!”


    Giant Crocodile immediately followed up with an order number.


    What was going on?


    g Dragon immediately forwarded the order to him.


    g Dragon had to know what was going on. Hence, he called him. “Bro, what’s the matter with you? Are you copying Lone Wolf in being secretive?”


    “Oh.” Giant Crocodile replied coldly after making sure that g Dragon’s call had no issues. “He Chen told me that this order was rmended by my Big Bro.”


    He then immediately hung up the call.


    g Dragon was shocked.


    He immediately opened his ount and checked his orders records.


    He found a new entry in the records.


    Client: Cheng (Star-level permission)


    Order information: (attachment)


    The star-level permission could only be done with the five members. But it wasn’t something that Giant Crocodile or Chang Ning would do.


    Only He Chen had set a star-level authorization a few months ago.


    g Dragon had the highest level permission. Hence, he could check the person that set the star-level authorization.


    He then clicked on it.


    Star-level Authorizer: Lone Wolf


    g Dragon was speechless.


    He got back to his desktop and clicked on the group.


    g Dragon: [@Giant Crocodile! You! Son! Of! A! Bitch! Come! Fight! Me!]


    Morning Bird: [Don’t delete this message if you’re a real man.]


    The next second—


    [g Dragon deleted a message]


    ...


    The next day.


    Inside the Cheng family house.


    The Cheng family had nned for almost half a year for their entry into the Continent M’s market. However, no one expected that the Second Hall Master and gang would lose contact with them the moment they got there.


    On a Saturday afternoon, the managing members of the Cheng family were gathered somberly in the living room.


    Old Master Cheng was in the center seat.


    Cheng Wenru was seated on the first seat to the right.


    Cheng Raohan’s seat was the first seat to the left, but he wasn’t there yet.


    The other managing members of the family were discussing the matter.


    Cheng Raohan finally arrived.


    There was someone following after him.


    Someone recognized her, stood up, and greeted surprisingly. “Miss Ouyang?”


    Ouyang Wei was wearing a white fur coat. She stood on the outside and greeted everyone. “Old Master, Eldest Lady, managers.”


    Cheng Raohan got a chair for her.


    “I’ve heard all about it.” Ouyang Wei sat down. She then looked at Old Master Cheng and spoke gently. “Just let me know if you need anything.”


    Cheng Raohan nodded and said, “Miss Ouyang is really busy. But she contacted me after she knew about the matter.”


    “We’re d to have your help,” the managers replied smilingly.


    They could finally find out what happened on Continent M.


    Most were surprised by her sudden arrival.


    However, Old Master Cheng didn’t acknowledge her presence. He even frowned as he saw her.


    Everyone could tell that Ouyang Wei carried feelings for Cheng Juan.


    If it wasn’t for Qin Ran, Old Master Cheng would have epted Ouyang Wei’s help already...


    He took a sip from his cup of tea and continued to ignore Ouyang Wei’s presence.


    Cheng Wenru was on the other side. She kept to herself after greeting Ouyang Wei and looked down at her phone.


    She had downloaded the app from the webpage yesterday.


    She casually clicked on it and saw an update.
