Chapter 156:


    A ssmate named c?


    Dont worry about it. Qin Ran lowered her head and washed her hands seriously. She didnt have to look at it to know that it was Chang Ning.


    He Chen probably mentioned that she was in Beijing.


    Qin Ran didnt want to see anyone this time because of her tight schedule. She had controlled her location range to be around the music hall and Beijing University but had bumped into He Chen unexpectedly.


    She didnt expect He Chen, a war journalist, to have suddenly returned.


    Qin Ran drew a towel from the side and wiped her hands.


    When she went out again, Chang Nings video call had already hung up automatically.


    Cheng Juan was still flipping through her book casually. It was a foreignnguage book. The content was very vague and the overall background was very depressed.


    He flipped through it quickly.


    Lu Zhaoying nced over and the esoteric andplicated figures gave him a headache, so he pulled out the paper she had pressed underneath.


    A bunch of notation was mixed together on it.


    She crossed out some and rewrote some.


    Lu Zhaoying raised an eyebrow. He didnt expect Qin Ran to have studied music before?


    At the thought of this, he touched his chin and thought of how Master Wei hade to find Qin Ran.


    The three of them went out together. Qin Ran took a dark coat and put it on outside her sweater, and then buckled the sweaters hat on her head.


    **


    Lu Zhaoying knew that Qin Ran would make time to see the ancient buildings today, so he volunteered to lead the way.


    Although it wasnt a holiday, quite a few people hade to Beijing for tourism, though they were mostly grandmas and grandpas.


    There were too many people at the main entrance.


    But Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying brought her to a side door instead of the main entrance.


    The gatekeeper was an old grandpa.


    The old grandpa probably knew Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Juan well. When he saw them, he looked upzily and opened the door.


    He was toozy to even say a word.


    This ce isnt open to the public. Cheng Juan walked slowly behind her.


    We used to climb over the walls when we were young and lived nearby. Lu Zhaoying had seen this ce too many times and wasnt very interested.


    Qin Ran didnt really like these, but she still took a lot of pictures.


    Im bringing it back for Mingyue to see. Qin Ran stopped at every scenic spot and took a picture seriously. She likes these very much.


    Cheng Juan watched her take pictures with one hand in his pocket, without a hint of impatience.


    She tried to make it as nice as possible, but the results were average.


    In the end, Cheng Juan couldnt take it anymore and reached out to help her take pictures.


    Qin Ran stood behind him to see the pictures he took.


    You seem to take it at a higher angle than me? She pointed to the pavilion and said as she approached him.


    Yeah. Cheng Juans ear moved lightly, but he responded casually and wasnt satisfied with his picture. Its alright, just average.


    Do you want to take one? Cheng Juan paused and smiledzily. Why dont you post that youre in Beijing?


    She had many friends on WeChat.


    Wouldnt everyone know she was in Beijing if she posted?


    Qin Ran touched her chin and shook her head. Its too troublesome.


    Then she followed behind him and watched him take pictures.


    Master Juan studied photography before. Lu Zhaoying lowered his voice and exined it to her. He bought several DSLRs but put them in the warehouse in less than half a year. He has a lot of hobbies.


    Pan Mingyue loves these? After exining, Lu Zhaoying remembered that Mingyue was Qin Rans friend.


    He raised an eyebrow.


    Yeah. Qin Ran pulled her hat down and exined casually.


    Ninghai was also an ancient building and hadnt been developed.


    The two of them often skipped sses together in high school. She would go to an Inte cafe to y games while Pan Mingyue would wander around ancient buildings.


    Then, they would go home together at night.


    They were thest and secondst ces at the end of the semester.


    All the teachers in the school recognized them.


    Lu Zhaoying nodded. Then she can study archeology at Beijing University. Cheng Mu took it before and its not bad.


    He remembered Pan Mingyues achievements. First Middle Schools forum used to talk about the two treasures in Heng Chuan, which were Xu Yaoguang and Pan Mingyue. But now, there was another treasure, Qin Ran.


    Archeology had always been a neglected department and Pan Mingyues results were more than enough to get in.


    She used to want to travel the world now, shes taking the prosecutors exam, Qin Ran watched as Cheng Juan took pictures and said as they went to the next scenic spot.


    Hearing this, Lu Zhaoying scratched his head.


    Prosecutor?


    It was so different from how she looked.


    Qin Ran seemed quite silent after that while the three of them went around taking pictures. When they went to eat, Qin Rans mood picked up a lot.


    In the afternoon, Lu Zhaoying took her out to y.


    Qin Ran said she wanted to sleep as she had to return to Yun Cheng tomorrow.


    **


    Downstairs, in the car.


    Master Juan, let me tell you something. Lu Zhaoying drove in front and looked at Cheng Juan through the rearview mirror. Didnt Qin Ran say she was finding her rtive that night, and then she said her rtive was a showman?


    Cheng Juan responded and pulled out a nket, his reaction not particrly big.


    Do you know who the showman was? Lu Zhaoying snorted. Master Wei.


    Cheng Juan didnt respond. He just lifted his chin and sat up. Wei Lin?


    Thats right. Qin Ran went to watch his concertst night. Lu Zhaoying thought for a while and then asked, Since when did Master Wei be a rtive of Qin Rans?


    Lu Zhaoying hadnt questioned Qin Ran, but he was definitely curious. No matter which aspect it was, Qin Ran didnt suit Master Wei.


    Cheng Juan thought for a moment and then said two words to Lu Zhaoying: Wei Zihang.


    The Wei family was a family with a literary reputation, and even though they didnt have real power in the capital, their reputation was still high and several families were willing to give them face, so Master Jiang couldnt evenpare.

    At this time, Qin Ran was flipping through the photos taken by Cheng Juan. Then, she sat in a chair by the window and sent a video call to Chang Ning.


    She put on her headphones and leaned her mobile phone against a cup.


    Then, she took a pen and paper and wrote on it.


    Youre still in Beijing? Chang Ning put down the information of the applicants when he saw her video call.


    He could tell from the decoration behind her that she was in a hotel.


    Yeah. Qin Ran didnt look up and continued arranging the music score. She had always been very serious about arranging for Yan Xi and had conceived this style of music in her mind for several months, but hadnt written it yet.


    She wrote it smoothly now.


    Chang Ning put down the mouse in his hand, looked at her young face through the camera, and said awkwardly, When are you going? Do you have time to meet? Let me tell you about this years applicants, and let you check the list?


    I have a flight tomorrow, so Im currently unavable. Qin Ran wrote away and put down her pen. She picked up a bottle of water and took a sip.


    Why didnt you tell me to arrange your schedule for you? Chang Ning was a little disappointed and broody. Did youe because of your grandmas medicine?


    Qin Ran threw the water bottle aside and replied, No, I had some other matters. She thought for a while before asking, Do you know Matthew?


    Chang Ning leaned back in his chair and raised an eyebrow. Which Matthew are you talking about?


    From Interpol. This was Gu Xichis description and Qin Ran didnt know much about it. She picked up her pen again, thought about it, and added, Probably?


    She had only helped Lu Zhaoying solve a few troublesome people and hadnt invaded into his personal life much.


    Neither did she investigate deliberately.


    Do you want his information? Chang Ning went back to 129s homepage.


    Everyone knew that 129 was the worldsrgest intelligencework.


    However, this information could only be viewed within the scope of 129s building and couldnt be downloaded either.


    This was why everyone was racking their brains and trying to squeeze into 129.


    Give me a copy. Seeing that Chang Ning had found him, Qin Ran lowered her head and continued writing the score.


    Qin Ran didnt intend on meeting him. So, even though Chang Ning knew what hotel she was staying in, he didnt dare toe over without permission.


    He wanted to hang up when he suddenly remembered something he had asked someone to investigatest time. Oh, yes. Do you remember thest time the domestic medicine was suddenly transferred overseas?


    Qin Rans hand paused and she narrowed her eyes at Chang Nings tone. Any insider story?


    If it werent for He Chen coincidentally being outside the borders, Chen Shn wouldnt have been able to hold on until now.


    Outsiders would definitely not know where she had gotten the experimental medicine that even the Lin family couldnt get.


    Its a little strange. Chang Ning tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said, The people in the firstboratory are their deans. These drugs were sent to the border for experimental reasons on far-fetched grounds. Does your grandma know them?


    I get it. Qin Ran nodded and didnt answer. She just coldly got rid of him after obtaining the information. If theres nothing else, Im hanging up.


    After hanging up, Qin Ran couldnt write anymore.


    She leaned back in her chair and was silent for a long while before putting down her pen.


    She pressed the music sheet under her book and then took her jacket and backpack out.


    As she approached the door, she remembered the ck mask on the cab and went back to pick it up.


    Cheng Juan had thrown this to her before he left.


    **


    Beijing University.


    It was almost four oclock when Qin Ran arrived, so there was still ss. There werent many people on campus.


    She walked all the way to the medical department.


    The hood of her sweater was buttoned up and her mask was put on such that even her chin couldnt be seen, but she still exuded a cold aura.


    Her personal style was extremely obvious and could be recognized after seeing her for the first time. The doorman at the ess control gate recognized her and let her in. Oh, yes, its you. The professor is on a business trip. He told me to give you this if you came.


    He took out a takeaway box from the cab and handed it to Qin Ran.


    Qin Ran took it and opened it.


    There was a bottle of transparent water inside, and a trace of a white paper torn off the bottle. A piece of A4 paper with words written was pressed underneath, the handwriting almost illegible.


    Thank you. Qin Ran put everything in her backpack and pulled down her mask before thanking him politely.


    The doorman waved his hand and then asked, Youre not a student in the medical department, right?


    If she was, he would have seen her before. This kind of student was impressionable.


    No. Qin Ran tugged on her mask and went out.


    At the same time.


    Outside the door of Beijing University.


    Qin Yu, Lin Wan, and Ning Qing were waiting for Lin Jinxuan toe out.


    This school is so good. Ning Qing stood outside Beijing University and took several photos against the door.


    Many people around Ning Qing were like her.


    They werent students of Beijing University and woulde here to take pictures.


    It was a high school in the country.


    Naturally, Beijing University and A University were the main ones.


    In Ning Qings era, the whole town would line up to celebrate if one was admitted to Beijing University. But in their hometown, it was difficult to get a talented student to study at Beijing University even after five years.


    The main reason was that the local area was poor and education wascking.


    This was actually the first time Ning Qing saw Beijing University.


    In the past, Lin Wan would definitely have mocked her.


    However, Qin Yus apprenticeship was imminent. And seeing Dai Rans attitude towards Qin Yu, she was considered a disciple, so Ning Qing had stepped into Beijings circle thanks to Qin Yu.


    Lin Wans attitude towards her wasnt as casual as before.


    She just changed the topic and said lightly, Of course Beijing University is good. Yuer cane here next year too.


    Qin Yu just looked nervously at the school gate.


    Lin Jinxuan came out soon.


    He had long legs and a clear face, so he stood out from the crowd and was probably very popr in school. It was obvious that people would discuss him wherever he appeared.


    Lin Wan hade to personally tell Lin Jinxuan about Dai Ran taking a fancy on Qin Yu.


    And she wanted to tell him that there was a feast tomorrow.


    It depends on the situation. I have to discuss business with Feng Ci tomorrow and might not be able to make it. Lin Jinxuan didnt promise toe.


    After knowing that Qin Yu had be Dai Rans disciple, he only nced slightly at her and didnt seem surprised.


    He just looked at her casually.


    He hadnt contacted Qin Ran in the past two days and didnt know if she was still in Beijing.


    Since he had seen her at Beijing University, he would subconsciously look out for her figure while walking around.


    But he didnt see her in two days, so he thought she must have left.


    He didnt expect to really see her at the gate as he swept his eyes around casually.


    But she was standing with a boy.


    The two seemed to know each other well and were talking with their heads lowered.


    Lin Jinxuan kept staring in that direction and the other three people couldnt help but look over as well.


    They saw Qin Ran standing at the door as well as the boy beside her.


    The boy seemed to hand Qin Ran a pile of things.


    After seeing the boys side profile, Lin Jinxuan was shocked.


    Qin Yu didnt have time to cover up her surprise and said directly, Sister hasnt left yet? Wasnt she with Wei Zihang? Who is the person beside her?


    It was such a cold day, but Lin Wan still only wore a cheongsam with a fox fur shawl on her shoulders.


    The people with Qin Ran were always messy.


    She looked away lightly in disinterest. Who knows who he is.


    Ning Qings expression was light.


    Lin Jinxuan recovered and nced at them. Song Luting,st years top scorer in Yun Cheng and the first ce in the country. Dont you know him?
