Chapter 333 - Appearance Is Power! Qin Hanqiu’s Monitoring

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Siran was holding a black rope in her hand. Looking from Qin Ran’s side, he could see that the rope was a bit thick with a cold metallic luster.

While standing next to Qin Ran, he stared at the rope in surprise. “Such a thick rope?”

Was this necessary for a cat?

“Mimi, come down!” Lin Siran whistled, and a huge figure suddenly jumped out from the back seat.

Both sensing the danger, Cheng Mu and Cheng Jin instinctively took a step back.

Squinting, Cheng Juan reached out to grab Qin Ran and pull her to the side.

As if sensing Cheng Juan’s gaze, Mimi didn’t dare to pounce forward.

“Mimi, sit down!” Lin Siran ordered.

The black shadow leaping in the air stopped and then sat in front of Lin Siran imposingly.

“This is Mimi?” Cheng Mu stared at Lin Siran and Mimi blankly.

Patting Mimi’s head, Lin Siran smiled happily. “Yeah, what’s wrong?”

Cheng Mu was speechless.

No, it was fine to call a dog “Mimi,” but why did they give a one-meter tall Tibetan mastiff a cat’s name?!

Sitting next to Lin Siran, the Tibetan mastiff was nearly one meter tall, with a pure black mane on his body faintly reflecting cold light. His cry was dull, his head resembled a lion, and his bright expressive eyes were slightly tinged with gold.

The fine hair on his powerful claws danced about in the wind in a flurry.

Fierce and menacing.

People passing by desperately wanted to be a kilometer away from it.

“Ran Ran, how’s Mimi?” Lin Siran discussed it with her.

Qin Ran touched her chin and nodded slowly. “It’s fine. You raised it pretty well.”

While talking, she took out a casually folded ticket from her pocket and stuffed it directly into Lin Siran’s pocket.

“What’s this?” She took it out from her pocket.

Her head aching, Qin Ran waved her away. “Bye.”

Returning to his senses, Cheng Jin glanced at Cheng Mu and whispered, “Are all of Miss Qin’s friends like this?”

Cheng Mu took the flower pot handed over by Father Lin.

Hearing this, he glanced at Cheng Jin silently—

Brother, have you witnessed the mercenary suddenly barbecuing obediently in the middle of a fight?

Cheng Mu patted Cheng Jin on the shoulder, then carefully carried the flower pot to the car trunk.

Qin Ran returned to the car after talking to Lin Siran and the others.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Miss Qin, where are you going?” Cheng Jin turned the car key in the driver’s seat.

Looking down at the time on her phone, she saw that it was already past 9 o’clock. “Back to Ting Lan.”

Although there were regulations for returning to the dormitory in the freshman year, Dean Jiang was very lenient towards Qin Ran.

Sitting on the side with his lips slightly pursed, Cheng Juan slightly turned towards her. He held his phone in one hand and his head in the other, looking a little distracted.

His phone showed a conversation—

[What are you doing?]

——

[Meeting someone.]

It didn’t matter if that was the case. Cheng Juan scrolled down the conversation and saw Qin Ran’s second slow reply—

[He looks more handsome in reality.]

Appearance was power!

After thinking for a while, Cheng Juan took out a cigarette from his pocket. This time, instead of lighting it, he just pinched it between his teeth.

They arrived at Ting Lan.

Cheng Jin stopped the car at the gate. Cheng Juan and Qin Ran got off the car while Cheng Jin drove the car into the underground parking lot.

Qin Ran lowered her head and followed unhurriedly behind Cheng Juan.

She was still thinking of the Qin family.

Cheng Juan pressed the elevator button. It needed time to come down from the 21st floor, so he glanced sideways at her and cleared his throat. “Who is it?”

Unable to comprehend his question, Qin Ran leaned against the wall. “What?”

“That...” Cheng Juan glanced at her and lazily said, “The person you said was handsome.”

The elevator arrived with a “ding.”

As the two of them entered it, Qin Ran casually replied, “Qin Xiuchen, the superstar.”

Qin Xiuchen?

Cheng Juan repeated the name once and suddenly remembered something. Looking down at her, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly chuckled lowly after a while.

On the left side of the elevator.

Qin Xiuchen...

Without checking, Cheng Juan guessed from Qin Hanqiu’s recent words that he was probably the Qin family’s lost child from a few years ago.

Qin Ran was unaware of the undulation of Cheng Juan’s mood.

She just took out her phone and opened a game.

She turned on the screen recording function, but before she could play the game Qin Ling had sent her through the hidden software, a phone call suddenly appeared on top.

It was Principal Xu, whom she hadn’t met for more than a year.

Ding—

The elevator door opened.

While walking out, she picked up the call. Cheng Juan followed behind her with her black backpack.

Principal Xu just got on the plane in Continent M. Wearing reading glasses, his eyes looked extremely sharp behind the lenses. When the phone was connected, he smiled and glanced at Continent M’s landscape outside the window. “Ran Ran, I’ll arrive in Beijing in a few hours,” he said gently.

At the same time.

At Qin Xiuchen’s house.

“Sixth Master, I’ve found the Second Master’s daughter.” Butler Qin came in with a copy of the information, his expression slightly strange.

Previously, he had no intention of finding the two daughters after retrieving Qin Hanqiu, but he had started the investigation after being reminded by Qin Xiuchen.

Qin Xiuchen took the document in surprise. “You found it?”

Butler Qin showed him the information and couldn’t help but exclaim, “The Second Master’s daughter is at Beijing University, attending the Art Department. It turned out to be much better than I thought.”

Butler Qin had printed the information out, which wasn’t particularly detailed and only filled a piece of paper.

It showed Qin Yu’s photo and a general introduction to her current situation.

It wasn’t as detailed as Qin Xiuchen’s.

Glancing at it casually, he threw Butler Qin’s information on the table, then leaned against the sofa, his expression unclear.

He was thinking about Qin Ran.

As for Qin Yu, after reading 129’s information, he didn’t really fancy her.

As for Qin Ran...

Although she didn’t talk much and he didn’t know what she did since there wasn’t much information on her, he still felt inexplicably close to her.

Maybe it was because Qin Ling liked this sister very much.

“Sixth Master, how is it?” Butler Qin couldn’t figure out what Qin Xiuchen meant and subconsciously lowered his voice. “Should I send someone to pick her up?”

Butler Qin’s information network wasn’t as powerful as Qin Xiuchen’s. For so many years, most of the Qin family’s power had been swallowed up by the Fourth Master and the Ouyang family. Butler Qin could only find out a little about Qin Yu in such a short time.

Qin Ling’s door opened, and he came in to take water while wearing small slippers.

“Temporarily set this matter aside.” Standing up, Qin Xiuchen stopped talking about Qin Yu and walked over to Qin Ling to help him take a glass of warm water. “Have you taken care of the headquarters? I heard you snatched a project?”

“I couldn’t find anyone. I asked Ah Wen to take a look at the surveillance footage, and he’s still looking at the three days’ footage.” Speaking of this, Butler Qin frowned.

When Qin Ling took the water that Qin Xiuchen handed him and heard this, his eyebrows flashed.

“Thank you,” he whispered to Qin Xiuchen and then entered his room.

Qin Xiuchen had installed a huge screen for him. It was a projection screen of the game he was playing. Instead of taking his mouse immediately, he picked up his laptop from the bed.

After opening the editor, he entered a line of code, and then pressed “enter.” A firewall popped up.

Putting his chin on his hand, he placed the laptop on his lap and stared at the editor page in confusion.

After a long while, he sighed, put the computer aside, and slowly went to find his mobile phone on the bed.

He clicked on WeChat, found Qin Ran’s profile, and sent a message—

[Butler Qin is watching the Mid-Autumn Festival’s elevator monitoring over the three days.]

Outside, the manager came in with the variety show’s contract. “Film Emperor Qin, Xiao Ling’s contract is ready. Are you signing for him?”

“Are you sure you want to take the Young Master to a variety show?” Butler Qin was a little surprised.

Yesterday morning the manager had been against this, but he had prepared the contract now?

“Yeah. He’ll join the team at the end of next month.” Qin Xiuchen walked over, glanced at the contract, and then signed on the last page with a black pen.

“How long will it take?” Butler Qin suddenly thought of something. “He still has to attend school.”

“I’ve already asked him.” Qin Xiuchen wasn’t concerned.

Butler Qin nodded. Qin Xiuchen had arranged everything, so he didn’t need to worry much. He mainly came to talk about Qin Yu today. Standing up with the document, he continued, “Second Master said he has two daughters, but I can’t find information about the other one. I heard from the Second Master that she never followed him and always lived with her grandma. I wonder how she turned out...”

After all, when they first found Qin Hanqiu, he had been in a terrible situation, moving bricks in a construction site...

Qin Yu’s information had comforted Butler Qin a little, but it was much better than he first expected.

As for Second Master’s other daughter, Butler Qin didn’t know what she was like, and how she was compared to Qin Yu...
