nThe middle-aged man knew exactly who Yang Shuyan was referring to. He was dumbfounded and stared at him blankly. “Master, you…”

n“How was it verified?” Yang Shuyan cut in.

nHe had always felt that he was too indifferent. However, this was the first time he was so interested in someone.

nIn these two years, the Underground Alliance was about to lose its status in Continent M.

nTo reach such a status, the middle-aged man was good at reading someone from their body language. He knew Yang Shuyan’s true colors beneath his gentle demeanor.

nHearing that, his heart stopped. “During the fire at the slums, we sent some men to check on all the surveillance cameras. The fire killed six people and no one escaped. Her last known location through her cell phone was also in that area…”

nMost importantly, the middle-aged man felt that she would definitely have contacted them if she was alive.

n“Really?” Yang Shuyan’s eyes were deep, and he looked at the middle-aged man indifferently.

n“Are you still suspecting Miss Qin?” The middle-aged man frowned. “But you know that it’s impossible. She’s part of the Yunguang Consortium and is the goddaughter of the Old Master.”

nYang Shuyan reached into his pocket and took out a white handkerchief. He wiped his hands slowly and said, “Arena. Blank. Give me all the information you can find about them.”

nAlthough the Underground Alliance had hackers, it did not have a large information system.

nThe Mas family was the best at investigating. However, Yang Shuyan did not trust them.

nCutting the call with the middle-aged man, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

nThe call got through after three seconds. The other party did not speak. Yang Shuyan did not care much and faintly said, “Father, I have something to discuss with you.”

n…

nOn the other side.

nThe Second District.

nIt was evening when the Xu family members came back.

nThe servants set the dishes on the table.

nCheng Mu went to knock on Qin Ran’s door. She was indeed sleeping.

n“Miss Qin, are you okay?” he asked by the door.

nAlthough Harold lost, his moves were powerful. On the screen, Cheng Mu could clearly tell it was Qin Ran when she wiped the blood off the corner of her lips.

nThis injury was nothing to Qin Ran. She shook her head and said while frowning, “Bring the food up. I won’t head down. Don’t tell Cheng Shui and the rest.”

nIf Cheng Shui knew about it, Cheng Juan would know too.

nCheng Mu looked at her and was afraid that Cheng Shui may already know since it was a big matter. However, he nodded and said, “Okay.”

nHe went downstairs.

nDownstairs.

nThere were two tables. Xu Yaoguang and Second Uncle Xu sat at one table with two empty seats beside them.

n“Please save one portion for Miss Qin. She’s currently writing her thesis,” Cheng Mu explained.

nThe Xu family members did not mind as Qin Ran was from the Physics Department.

nIt was normal for her to be working on her thesis.

nXu Yaoguang looked upstairs and frowned.

n“Thank you, Mr. Cheng Mu.” Someone from the other table raised his glass at Cheng Mu. “Because of you, we bet half of our deposit and won 3 million!”

nCheng Mu calculated that the person had 600,000 yuan of deposit.

nHe looked at the person and nodded without saying anything else.

nSpeaking of this, another person was regretting his actions. He sighed and asked, “Brother Cheng Mu, how did you know the Mas family was going to win? Also, Blank is a woman. I don’t have access to the browser and cannot receive news about the Arena. From today onwards, I’ve decided that Blank is my idol!”

nSometimes brotherhood was so simple.

nAfter a round of gambling, Cheng Mu had developed a strong friendship with many of the Xu family members.

nCheng Mu lowered his head while eating his meal and mumbled. “I guess.”

nThe captain of the Xu family guards nodded. “Very impressive.”

nThose from the Xu family present were mostly trainers comparable to Cheng Qingyu.

nBefore this, they always admired Bo Te. However, with Blank’s appearance, they turned their attention to her instead.

nHearing his words, Second Uncle Xu couldn’t resist and asked, “Don’t you feel that she looks like Miss Qin?”

nHer face could be covered but not her figure.

nOne could easily recognize another through their back view if they were familiar with someone.

nSecond Uncle Xu wasn’t close to Qin Ran. However, because of ICNE and the issue with the successor, he had paid a lot of attention to her. Although he didn’t trust Qin Ran, he couldn’t deny her abilities.

n“Are you okay?” the captain asked him. “Blank from the Mas family was famous in the Arena two years ago. At that time, Miss Qin was still in high school. How could it be her? Besides, she’s a talent at the Research Institute…”

nTypically, researchers had slender and weak figures.

nSecond Uncle Xu stayed silent.

nHe had his doubts about this. According to information obtained about Qin Ran, she had always stayed in Yun Cheng. How could she be involved with Continent M…

n…

nUpstairs.

nAfter Cheng Mu left, Qin Ran pulled up the blanket and continued sleeping.

nHer eyes opened abruptly.

nThe room was dark and the curtains were tightly drawn. She looked towards the window.

nAfter a while, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

nAfter switching the bedlight on, she wore her slippers and opened the curtains slowly.

nThrough the glass, she could see a figure looking at her motionlessly.

nQin Ran was shocked. She pressed a button and opened the curtains, allowing the person to enter.
