Chapter 63 - The Beautiful Fox’s Puzzlement

“Baby, why is your expression so bad?” On the phone screen, a woman dressed in jewelry asked in a long tone.

“They actually want to bring Qin Ran back.”

“What?” The thick foundation could not hide the woman’s ferocious face.

“What should we do?” Qin Xue asked anxiously.

“Don’t panic first. Didn’t you tell me that this Qin Ran is being kept by an old man? I think we have to use this matter to make an article and completely make her unable to turn over a new leaf.”

Qin Xue nodded. She had originally wanted to do this. Now that her mother had said this, her thoughts became even more firm. Ever since the celebration party last time, she hadn’t been able to gain any advantages from Qin Ran. She had suffered losses every time. However, she was completely confident in this matter. She would be able to make Qin Ran suffer, and at that time, she would be able to step on Qin Ran’s body and continue to climb up.

Qin Ran was woken up by a phone call one day. It was Dr. Xu, a researcher from the S Research Center.

“Good morning, Miss Beautiful Fox!”

Qin Ran, who was originally still grumpy from waking up, instantly became energetic when she heard the voice on the other end of the phone. “The results are out? Dr. Xu.”

“It’s out. It’s indeed the reagent from Xuanyuan Seven back then, but the effect isn’t as strong as before.”

The things that happened in Rui Ci Hospital were still fresh in her mind. That day when she returned from the hospital, Qin Ran had mailed the finished product from Dr. Wu’s laboratory to the S Research Center. She had even contacted Dr. Xu through an internal method and had him strictly and carefully do a comprehensive checkup for her. She had been thinking about this matter when she was in the small county a few days ago. She didn’t expect to receive a call from Dr. Xu this morning.

“Is it because of dilution? Or did the original Xuanyuan Seven get upgraded and optimized?”

“We might need more finished products, and we’ll need more time to do experiments before we can be 100% sure. I don’t dare to jump to conclusions before the results are out.”

Due to the storm more than twenty years ago, there were very few researchers involved in the research direction of Xuanyuan Seven’s reagent. In the past, there was no large amount of information and data to be used as reference. Therefore, even Dr. Xu, who had worked at the research center for twenty or thirty years, did not dare to speak up.

In addition, it was the Beautiful Fox on the other end of the phone. She was a famous person on the Assassination Dark Web, so it was not too much to be cautious when he spoke.

“Alright. Continue to help me research and see what new discoveries you can make.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ran looked at the ceiling and thought in a daze, What exactly was the truth about twenty years ago? Why did the research with a good future end just like that? Also, what kind of extraordinary abilities did Xuanyuan Seven’s reagent have? She wanted to answer all these questions one by one.

Her adoptive parents had always been concerned about maintaining their health and exercising, taking note of their diet, and never drank too much wine. Why did they die in just two months after they suffered from acute illness?

It wasn’t that Qin Ran hadn’t doubted it before, but she always remembered that before her parents left, they told her that the root of the illness was left behind by their research back then. In addition, the two of them were born with poor physical conditions, so they couldn’t bear the pain of the illness. However, as she grew up, the mystery of the past that was placed in front of her caused her to have no choice but to reconsider.

“What are you thinking about?” Perhaps Qin Ran was too lost in thought that she didn’t even notice Mo Chi walking to the bed.

“It’s nothing. I was in a daze.” After Qin Ran finished speaking, a sweet smile curled up on her lips. After living in the Mo Residence for more than a month, Qin Ran realized that the greatest change she had undergone was that her guard had become lighter.

Back then, she was able to instinctively resist Mo Chi from the first night when she was sleeping in a daze, and she threw him onto the bed with a backhand. But now, she didn’t even notice that the other party had walked to her side even when she was clearly lying on the bed with her eyes open.

She had changed. Really changed. She seemed more at ease now.

Mo Chi stretched out his hands and gently held Qin Ran’s shoulders to help her up. He gently used his hands to smooth her hair and hooked the tip of Qin Ran’s nose suggestively. In the end, he said in a doting voice, “Get up and eat, little lazy bum.”

Mo Chi’s actions were done in a flowing manner, but Qin Ran’s face had unknowingly flushed red. She lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at the man’s eyes.
