Qin Ran looked down at the local telephone number.
She didn’t know who it was.
Fearing that it was someone from the laboratory, she picked it up.
A female voice sounded over the phone, elegant and calm. “Miss Qin, hello. I’m Ouyang Wei.”
This name was very familiar to Qin Ran, who had heard it often from Cheng Mu and Hao Dui.
It had also, later on, appeared frequently at 129.
Even Elder Xu and Butler Qin also mentioned this name often.
She had checked Ouyang Wei’s data by hand before. It all seemed quite ordinary, perfect, and without any omissions.
No one knew better than her that the more perfect the information, the more there was behind it.
She had investigated the causes and consequences of the Qin family’s decline in Beijing.
The Qin family had been one of the four major families in Beijing back then. It seemed to be reasonable that it was later on replaced by the Ouyang family, but…
Leaning against her chair and raising an eyebrow calmly, she asked straightforwardly, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing much, I just wanted to meet you.” Ouyang Wei’s voice still sounded very elegant. “I have something here that might be of interest to you.”
Qin Ran looked down silently.
Judging by Cheng Mu’s and Cheng Wenru’s reactions, she had already guessed that Ouyang Wei had feelings for Cheng Juan.
Although Qin Ran’s emotional intelligence wasn’t very high, it was so obvious that she naturally guessed it.
But she was just surprised. Cheng Juan’s reputation in Beijing wasn’t excellent, and most of the comments on him were that he was nothing without the Cheng family. Ouyang Wei was surprisingly prestigious in Beijing, and the two of them couldn’t be more polar opposites.
In this case, Ouyang Wei’s reaction was…
A little too strange.
“I’ll check it out myself if it’s of interest to me.” Qin Ran propped her legs up in disinterest.
Ouyang Wei didn’t seem surprised and still continued elegantly. “What if I say it has something to do with the bombing of Ninghai Town’s laboratory? Miss Qin, if you’re interested, I’ll wait for you in the central cafe tomorrow.”
She hung up right after.
In the study, Qin Ran narrowed her eyes slightly.
“What’s on your mind?” Cheng Juan entered the room.
“Nothing.” Qin Ran looked up and glanced at him. Although she couldn’t really fully believe Ouyang Wei’s words, she might really know something about the explosion in the laboratory.
No matter what, she was a little interested in Ouyang Wei.
“I’m going to Cheng Jin’s headquarters tomorrow.” Cheng Juan lazily leaned on the chair beside her. “Come with me if you’re free.”
Qin Ran nodded, then realized what he said, and paused for a moment. “Okay.”
The cafe Ouyang Wei was talking about wasn’t far from Cheng Jin’s headquarters.
It was on the way.
A new message from Lu Zhaoying popped up on her phone—
[Sister Mingyue is with me.]
Qin Ran paused before sending a message to Song Luting and then asking Lu Zhaoying the reason.

In the Lu family’s house.
Pan Mingyue was sitting on the bed in the Lu family’s guest room.
She had taken off her glasses and was looking a little confused at the moment. Her face was pale and drained of blood. Her face behind the glasses was clean and beautiful, and her slender neck looked a little fragile.
Lu Zhaoying hung up the call with Qin Ran before knocking on the door and entering.
Usually loud and carefree, he suddenly paused when he saw her sitting on the bed. Then, he placed the tray on the bedside table and casually said, “Did you fight with that person with the surname Feng? Just tell him clearly if you have any troubles. Don’t bottle it up inside. I don’t know much about Feng Ci, but he has a good character.”
He raised his hand and was about to pat Pan Mingyue’s shoulder, but turned halfway and touched his earrings awkwardly instead.
“Eat your meal.” He glanced at her.
Pan Mingyue pursed her lips and looked up at him. “Thank you.”
Lu Zhaoying stared at her and smiled. “No worries.”
He turned and left.
As soon as he closed the door and turned around, he bumped right into Mother Lu.
He jumped out of his skin. “What the f*ck? Mom, why are you snooping around?”
“Why are you so easily scared?” Mother Lu folded her arms and glanced at him with disdain. “Look at you. Don’t harm the little girl!”
Lu Zhaoying was speechless.
**
Inside, Pan Mingyue was still holding her phone, thinking of Lu Zhaoying’s words.
She clicked on Feng Ci’s phone number and called him.
He picked up immediately.
On the other end, Feng Ci was extremely anxious. He immediately admitted his wrong and then explained, “Mingyue, I really have nothing to do with her. It was all rumors passed on by the high school alumni…”
At that time, Feng Ci and Lin Jinxuan had also been high-spirited, and Feng Ci hadn’t denied the rumors. This was why they had become a pair.
Pan Mingyue remained silent for a long time and moved her fingers. “I’ll call the police…”
“Let’s just forget about this and pretend it never happened, okay? I was wrong.” Feng Ci burrowed his head in his arms. “Where are you now?”
Pan Mingyue closed her eyes.
She didn’t want a perfunctory apology from him.
She just said simply, “But Feng Ci, they were the one in the wrong.”
She hung up the phone and buried her head in her knees.
Her phone rang again.
She looked down and saw a phone call from Madam Feng.
She answered the phone numbly.
“Pan Mingyue, since you said you’re going to leave my son, please don’t come back and disturb him again.” Madam Feng’s voice was condescending and a little bit sarcastic. “You should know what level you’re on. You’re in no way worthy of Feng Ci.”
