The Second Hall Master had waited a long time for Cheng Juan.

He looked behind Cheng Juan, but didn’t notice the airport high-level personnel. His heart skipped a beat and turned cold.

He had built up the forces in City C bit by bit. Originally, he had harbored hopes for Cheng Juan because of Cheng Mu and felt like if Cheng Mu had such strength, then perhaps he could trust Old Master Cheng’s vision…

“Third Young Master, let’s quickly withdraw.” The Second Hall Master glanced at Cheng Juan with darkened eyes. “We might still recover some losses…”

Looking away from the crowd, Cheng Juan recovered from his slight startle and slowly took out his phone. His long eyelashes drooped down, hiding his expression, and he seemed to be sending a message.

He didn’t seem to hear what the Second Hall Master said.

The Second Hall Master watched as Cheng Juan slowly walked forward.

The security guard from just now pressed on the walkie-talkie.

At the door, several security guards came in with weapons and tools.

The Second Hall Master finally calmed down, and his face began to crack again. “Third Young Master, City C isn’t our base. The airport has a huge force backing it. We developed forces on someone else’s site and delivered goods that they strictly prohibited. If they forcefully detain it, the Old Master won’t have any way, either…”

Such a force was indeed terrifying.

When Old Master Cheng had instructed Cheng Juan to come initially, the Second Hall Master had been worried that he wasn’t familiar with the process. At this time, it seemed like his fears had been confirmed.

Cheng Juan showed no response and was still looking to his left.

“Third Young Master!” The Second Hall Master looked at the uniformed security guards. Thinking of the loss caused to the Cheng family and his group of loyal subordinates, he couldn’t wait to hang himself on the spot. If he had known this would happen, he would have defected to Cheng Raohan earlier.

Just as he was feeling guilty and blaming himself for making such a decision, a weak voice suddenly came from behind him. “Second Hall Master… they’re gone, and the door has opened too…”

He turned to look in that direction, which was also where Cheng Juan had been staring at just now. The closed passage door had just opened.

At the same time, the security guards who had just come in seemed to have received instructions and all left…

What was going on?

The Second Hall Master exchanged glances with his men.

“Let’s go in.” Cheng Juan checked the time on his phone. It was 6:40 am, about time to take off. He saw that the Second Hall Master and his men were motionless and reminded. “We’ll take off at 7 am sharp.”

The Second Hall Master and his men immediately moved.

No boarding passes, no checks, no trouble, and they could just enter?

The security guards had also left without warning just now.

The Second Hall Master looked back involuntarily. Cheng Juan and the girl had already gone out. He hadn’t said a single word from beginning to end and hadn’t used words to win the guards over.

“Second Hall Master, how did the Third Young Master do this?” His subordinate checked the goods.

Pursing his lips, the Second Hall Master turned and glanced at him. He groaned inwardly. The Old Master’s health was deteriorating, and it was about time he stood on one side…

**

Outside.

Cheng Juan checked the time and saw that there were 20 minutes left. One flight had already started boarding, so there were fewer people in line for the milk tea.

He grabbed Qin Ran and went to line up again.

He was very silent along the way.

This time, they took only five minutes to buy it. Cheng Juan took it, swiped his card to pay for it, stuck the straw in, and handed it to Qin Ran. He frowned slightly, staring at her motionlessly.

Qin Ran took it and looked away. “Let’s go and board the plane.”

“Where are you going?” Cheng Juan followed closely behind her, his arms folded across his chest. Seeming to figure something out, he chuckled softly. “Cheng Mu probably didn’t have the brains to think of letting them all come today.”

Qin Ran knew that Cheng Juan’s relationship with the Cheng family was very mysterious.

Other than his first appearance being in a strange place like the school doctor’s office, Qin Ran had checked him once and dug up a lot…

But she hadn’t investigated further.

He seemed to have no sense of belonging to the Cheng family and had a big age gap with Cheng Wenru and Cheng Raohan.

Although he seemed careless and nonchalant about the business, he was actually very concerned about Cheng Wenru’s business, and even took pains to start a company with her.

As for the Cheng family…

He seemed nonchalant, but he had spent a lot of money and used his power to plan out these things for the Second Hall Master’s forces.

But the Second Hall Master and the others were too indecisive and insensibly looked past his efforts.

She didn’t do anything other than telling Cheng Mu to smash a cup.

Biting her straw, Qin Ran looked up at the sky, blocking her right ear with her empty right hand.

Cheng Mu patiently took off her hand covering her right ear. “What did you ask Cheng Mu to do yesterday?”

Finally turning to look at him, she said her two-word motto: “Shut up.”

Still biting the straw and holding her milk tea indifferently, the bright airport lights reflected between her eyebrows, which were covered with a layer of sheen, bright and flickering.

Cheng Juan didn’t ask further since he knew she was impatient. But when he looked at her, he suddenly paused, and something inside him made him lean down to slightly hug her from behind.

His beautiful eyelashes drooped, his eyebrows were clear and sharp, and his lowered eyes were very serious. “Sister Ran, can I ask you one more question?”

Taking a sip of milk tea, Qin Ran heard his serious tone, and, after thinking about it, allowed him to ask. “Go on.”

The airport broadcast sounded at this time—

Passengers going to Beijing, please note that your flight MA7737 is now boarding. Please bring your belongings, show your boarding pass, and then board the plane from Gate 17…

Many people came and went with mixed voices.

Light and shadow were unknown.

Looking down at her, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his dark and beautiful eyes concealed a small smile. “Are you looking for a boyfriend now?”

Without waiting for her reply, he lowered his voice and said very patiently, “Can you consider me?”
