    “Damn.” The steward beside Second Uncle Xu said in a low voice, “What was Elder Xu thinking? He actually asked her toe over even though he has already given the Research Institute to an outsider. What’s the use of a researcher like her to us?”


    If only Qin Ran was a member of the Research Institute and could contribute to it...


    The Xu family would treat her warmly and politely, and not with this attitude.


    But now, Qin Ran was an outsider who had rtions with the Cheng family. The Xu family was angered after finding out that she would be the one taking over the Research Institute.


    Xu Yaoguang, wearing a dark windbreaker, stood aside. His expression was cold and he remained silent.


    He lifted his head when Qin Ran appeared. Looking at her with his dark eyes, he hesitated before saying, “Congrattions.”


    Casually unbuttoning her jacket, she nced at him and replied, “Thank you.”


    Her voice was emotionless.


    Finishing her sentence, she put on her earpiece and started listening to music, disregarding everyone around her.


    As always, she was cold and arrogant.


    Xu Yaoguang looked at her back view. He had many questions and doubts, including why she tried to hide her physics experiment and the situation with the violin...


    Seeing her with her earpiece on, he swallowed his words.


    It was 7 o’clock when Mr. Carlo hurriedly appeared.


    “Mr. Carlo.” The Xu family members respectfully greeted him when he arrived.


    Carlo nodded slightly while scanning the audience.


    His gaze stopped at Qin Ran.


    Judging from the banquet a few days ago, Carlo thought that Qin Ran must be part of the Xu family.


    As for what it was, Carlo did not dig further. He had no interest in the forces in the country.


    However, the Mas family always had a fixed number of people.


    Qin Ran was the only woman on the team.


    “Elder Xu wanted to let Miss Qin gain some exposure. Don’t worry, she will not hinder us.” Seeing Mr. Carlo’s unhappiness, Second Uncle Xu anxiously came out to exin.


    Hearing his exnation, Carlo frowned. “Bringing her out to gain exposure?”


    He spoke in an internationalnguage.


    Second Uncle Xu lowered his head again to exin.


    Carlo took a final look at Qin Ran. With the Xu family’s guarantee, he decided to not speak further.


    Cheng Mu was carrying a huge suitcase and following behind Qin Ran. He looked at Carlo nkly after hearing his words.


    “That’s Mr. Carlo. He is the Mas family’s Arena’s leader,” Xu Yaoguang exined to him as he saw him looking at Carlo. “The Mas family is one of the powerful forces in Continent M.”


    Although the Arena was one of the forces under the Mas family, to those from Beijing, he was considered very influential.


    Qin Ran’s music was very loud.


    She didn’t hear Xu Yaoguang’s words.


    She lowered her head to look at her phone. Cheng Juan had left her a message saying that he had arrived at Continent M and was seeing patients.


    Qin Ran casually replied before heading off with the others.


    Everyone sent from the Xu family was an elite.


    There were about 30 people, but Qin Ran didn’t know what was happening. The others actively avoided her and only told her that this would help the Mas family suppress a gathering site.


    Leaning on her chair and overhearing some details, Qin Ran pulled down her eye mask and stopped listening.


    The nended after 8 hours.


    At this time, Xu Yaoguang and Second Uncle Xu didn’t know that something exciting would happen at Continent M.


    ...


    At the same time.


    At the Hacker Alliance’s stronghold.


    A ck car with a small g stopped by the main door.


    The driver and the passenger alighted from the car.


    The passenger was tall with a cold expression.


    It was Cheng Juan.


    Elder Li politely waited by the main door, not daring to look at him.


    “Mr. Cheng,” Elder Li said respectfully with his head down. “Old Master is waiting for you in the room.”


    “Yes,” Cheng Juan replied with a low voice and followed him in.


    The site was cleared, and they did not encounter many people along the way as Elder Li brought him straight upstairs.


    Upstairs, Cheng Juan was helping to check Tang Jun’s hand recovery status.


    “How is it?” Tang Jun asked, sitting on a recliner.


    Cheng Juan shook his head and took out a box of white pills. “These are experimental drugs that can help to relieve your pain. I cannot help much with your dexterity.”


    Tang Jun wasn’t disappointed. He smiled, then sighed. “Your skills are excellent. You could even fix my severed hands.”


    “Was it very troublesome?” Elder Li served a cup of tea and Cheng Juan took a sip.


    “ck Eagle is ranked top 10. I’m the only one that can deal with him in the Hacker Alliance.” Tang Jun looked out the window holding a white medicine bottle. “There’s someone else, but...”


    They didn’t know what he was thinking about as he shook his head.


    Cheng Juan wasn’t interested in the Hacker Alliance’s internal affairs. He put down the teacup and said, “Is it four dayster?”


    As he was chatting with Tang Jun, he checked the message from Qin Ran.


    “Yes. This time, ck Eagle is very aggressive and seems to being for the Hacker Alliance.” Tang Jun frowned. “I will try my best to defend it.”


    Cheng Juan nodded.


    Without saying much, he sent a message to Qin Ran—


    [There’s something interesting.]


    Qin Ran was a hacker, and every hacker in the world was interested in the Hacker Alliance. She would definitely be interested in the confrontation between the Hacker Alliance’s Chairman and an elite hacker.
