Chapter 64: Something's Happened (Ten Thousand More)
Looking at the people rushing up, Qu Yu gritted his teeth and rushed forward, using the self-defense skills he had learned to fight with several people. However, his level was really not high, and being able to block two people was already considered a remarkable performance for him. Seeing the opponent bypassing himself and running towards the person behind him, Qu Yu panicked, turning his head wanting to loudly shout at Yun Qingran to run first, but he was stunned in an instant. What's going on?
The three people behind him stood still, like wax figures, their hands still in the motion of wanting to grab someone and lunge forward, only their rotating eyeballs revealing that they were real living people.
"Do you know that being distracted while fighting can be fatal?" Yun Qingran said irritably to Qu Yu, with a few flashes of silver light in her hand. If it weren't for the fact that he had subconsciously blocked in front of her earlier, she wouldn't have saved this idiot.
Qu Yu, who was startled by Yun Qingran's words, quickly turned his head back, and his nose brushed against a fist. He looked at the person standing in front of him, already frozen in place, and he broke out in cold sweat. Luckily, if he had been any closer, his head would have been smashed open. But what was going on with these people? Could it be... "Ah! Qingran sister, wait for me!" Seeing the eerie way this group of people were standing still, Qu Yu shivered and saw that Yun Qingran had already walked far away, so he hastily followed after her.
"Back, go wash your hands and eat." Seeing Yun Qingran, the old man Yun stood up in the courtyard, only saying one sentence before walking to the dining hall with Qu Lao. Following behind Yun Qingran, Qu Yu was already prepared to be scolded, but his face was full of incredulity. Was he really let off that easily? He didn't know that this was because Qu Lao had seen the good quality of the woolen goods Yun Qingran had brought back, which made him understand her talent even more, so he didn't pursue the matter of taking Yun Qingran to gamble on stones.
Yun Qingran led the dazed Qu Yu to a nearby sink to wash his hands, and then took him to the dining hall where he finally came back to his senses. The Qu family members had all arrived, including Qu Lao's two sons. Last night when Yun Qingran and Yun Lao Ye arrived here it was already very late, the Qu family members had all eaten dinner and gone home, Qu Lao Ye rarely kept his children at home overnight, after eating he would hurry them to leave, only his one grandson could live here permanently, but yesterday he also went back home to accompany his parents, and only came today.
Seeing so many people, Yun Qingran didn't think it was strange at all. She calmly walked to the side of Old Man Yun and sat down, waiting for her grandfather to introduce them. Old Man Yun didn't say anything, but Qu Laosan smiled and pointed at two middle-aged men and a woman that Yun Qingran had never seen before, saying: "These are my two sons, just call them Big Uncle and Little Uncle, and this is your Big Aunt."
Yun Qingran nodded obediently and responded, then called out one by one. Listening to Yun Qingran's voice, which was as clear as a spring yet gentle like a hundred spirits, Auntie's face bloomed with a smile, her face full of kindness as she agreed. Qu Yu glanced at Yun Qingran before quickly lowering his head, but when he came back to himself, he suddenly remembered that the group of sculptures seemed to be caused by this little sister in front of him who looked incredibly innocent and lovely.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the backyard, where a corner was already piled high with wool, stacked layer upon layer. Seeing so much wool, Qu Lao's son and daughter-in-law were shocked, their mouths agape. When they heard that it was all bought by Yun Qingran herself, their jaws nearly dropped to the ground, and they couldn't speak for half a day.
"It's just some wool, what's with the look like you've never seen it before, losing face." Seeing his son and daughter-in-law still not recovering normally, Old Qu turned his face to scold them, but in an instant he was all smiles again as he looked at Yun Qingran, completely forgetting that he had also had this expression when he saw that car of wool.
"Are you planning to unravel them and then bring them back or bring them back and then unravel them?" Looking at the wool in front of him, Old Qu's expression didn't change much, but there was a hint of joy deep in his eyes. This disciple of his was indeed not bad, worthy of being his chosen disciple. The first batch of wool that had been transported over were all top-grade goods from Lao Qiu, and the later ones weren't bad either. Old Qu had already forgotten the fact that the other party hadn't agreed to become his disciple yet.
"Take out a small part of it, and the rest will be transported back." Yun Qingran replied, she had seen the jade disassembler in the courtyard earlier, and took the opportunity to take out some of the not-so-good jade inside, also to give Old Master Yun peace of mind, so that he wouldn't forbid her from touching jade again in the future. When she first learned carving, Old Master Yun had also said he didn't want her to gamble with jade. The risk of gambling with jade was too great, even if one had a fortune of tens of millions, it could all be lost in an instant.
"Alright, I'll take a look at the woolen goods that Ranyan has chosen. Oldest and youngest, you two go help Ranyan with the stone." The completely different attitude made Curved Old's eldest and youngest sons simultaneously shrug their shoulders. They had already learned from Qu Yu why Curved Old had become so "kind and gentle", which was to lure that pretty little girl who looked like a spirit to be his closed disciple. Curved Old's two sons were both skilled in stone removal, since the old man had spoken, they quickly stood up, ruining the old man's plan to lure a disciple, an outcome the two of them did not want to try.
Yun Qingran pointed out the woolen goods one by one before taking them to Qiu Shu's place, and had the two uncles and Qu Yu carry them out. Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, she used a piece of chalk from the grinding stone machine to draw one or more lines on each of the woolen goods.
"Alright, uncle and younger uncle, let's cut along the line as drawn." Yun Qingran patted off the chalk dust on her hand and said to the two men who were still stunned on one side.
Two of them turned their heads to look at Qu Lao, saw Qu Lao nodding and quickly picked up a piece of wool fabric, working together to untie it. Yun Qingran smiled lightly and turned her head to look at Qu Lao: "Grandfather Qu, can I let the people sent by my master come in to move these wool fabrics?"
"Of course, when are they coming?" Qu Lao replied after a brief pause. Yan still had her master, the one who taught her to gamble on stones? No wonder she chose such good materials, but his apprentice, whom he had finally taken a liking to, was gone? Qu Lao's thoughts reached this point and he fell silent.
"Come now." Yun Qingyan noticed the old man's sudden change in emotions, but felt puzzled. After answering the old man, she lightly clapped her hands, and a rhythmic knocking sound came from outside the courtyard. Before long, the sound of the door opening was heard, and ten people, two by two, ran in with neat, trained steps, standing at attention in front of Yun Qingyan, bowing their waists forty-five degrees and saying in unison: "We have seen the young master!"
Yun waved his hand and pointed to the pile of wool on one side: "Take away these wool that haven't been drawn first. Wait a moment, leave one person behind to take away the opened jade belt." Then, under everyone's surprised gaze, a line of people came up in order, two people holding a large net, one person carrying the wool upwards, and after only twice, the wool was carried away cleanly. Later, two people were left behind, and the rest of the people all left from the main gate.
These people are the ten robots from before, and outside there is another puppet she has just contracted with a space ring waiting.
The wool had a light cloud-like pattern, and with the addition of Qu's two sons and two robots continuing to work on it, they were able to unravel it in less than three hours. The result shocked everyone again - each piece of wool contained jadeite, with the lowest quality being oil-green, most being grainy, and the best even having a piece of ice-jadeite, although that piece was too small, only about the size of an infant's fist, not enough to make a pair of bangles.
Left the piece of jade ice, the rest were given to those two robots. After solving the stone, it was already very late, Qu's second son and his wife went home, Qu Yu lived in Qu Lao's place, tired for so long, everyone returned to their own room to prepare for sleep.
"Yes, I took your pulse today. Your grandfather's illness is lung cancer and it's nearing the final stages. Why don't you come treat him tomorrow instead? I'm not very confident." The rooms of Old Man Yun and Yun Qingran were adjacent to each other, so Old Man Yun told Yun Qingran his diagnosis on the way.
Lung cancer? This has something to do with Qu Lao's profession, right! When cutting and polishing stones, one can't avoid inhaling the dust. As for why Yun Lao couldn't be sure of the reason, Yun Qingran only thought about it briefly before she knew. She retrieved a bottle of medicine from space and handed it to Yun Lao, saying: "Grandfather, you're worried that the cancer cells will spread during treatment, right? If Qu Laoye takes one of these pills half an hour before treatment, they won't spread."
"Alright then, let's get some rest early. Tomorrow morning, we'll go together to help your grandfather recover." Cloud Old Master took the porcelain bottle and first sent Cloud Light back to her room.
Yun Qingran looked at Yun Lao's determined appearance and could only nod. Qu Lao was Yun Lao's closest friend, but due to the inconvenience of transportation, he rarely went out. This time, his old friend got such a disease, so he was still a bit worried.
Back in the room, Yun Qingran immediately put away the puppet that had been waiting in the room into space and cast a disguise spell on herself before following it inside.
"Star!" Entering space, Yun Qingran didn't rush to cultivate, but instead went to find the star that hadn't been seen for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Xing hastily asked, having never seen Yun Qingran look for her so urgently before.
"Do you know the legend of the Seven-Colored Divine Stone?" Yun Qingran asked. Since she had obtained the Silver Butterfly, she had always felt that this matter was not so simple, and the Seven-Colored Divine Stone was not just a legend.
"Rainbow divine stone?" Xing asked back in confusion, but soon had an epiphany: "You're talking about the great war of the divine realm after the ancient gods were sealed away, right?"
"Seal of the gods? Are those stories from Investiture of the Gods? What's this Heavenly War thing about?" How did it get dragged to those unreachable gods again.
"The sealing of the gods actually took place during the time of the Investiture of the Gods, but it was completely different from what the story said." Xing snorted in disdain and soon fell into reminiscence again: "In ancient times, when the gods were sealed, dozens of divine beings emerged from the Milky Way star domain. These divine beings had exceptional innate talents and great potential, so their cultivation was tens or even hundreds of times faster than that of ordinary divine beings."
The gods of the divine realm come from different star domains, and the divine realm is vast, with many resources in dangerous places. As a result, people from each star domain form alliances. When the Milky Way star domain emerged, other alliances had already developed for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years. It was only natural that lower-level gods were oppressed by higher-level gods, and the gods of the Milky Way star domain, who had no backing, were also oppressed by people from other star domains.
Until the time of the seal, dozens of gods suddenly emerged, seeing their own kind being oppressed. After a hundred years of cultivation, the talented ones had already gained initial resistance power, and thus the Milky Way Star Domain Alliance was formed. As the power of the gods in the alliance rose rapidly, other alliances that had oppressed the gods of the Milky Way Star Domain became afraid and joined forces to encircle and annihilate the Milky Way Alliance. And so, the Great War of the Divine Realm began.
The gods of the Milky Way galaxy were ultimately too young, and with the numerous alliances of others, they quickly collapsed to their original secret place. This battle was fought to the point of utter chaos, with more than half of the high-ranking gods killed or wounded, and countless lower-ranking gods.
The powerfulness of the Tianren in the Milky Way Star Domain left a deep impression on the people of other star domain alliances, and they collectively decided to set up the Twelve Heavenly Seals God Array and the Locking Spirit Array to seal off the Milky Way Star Domain, preventing anyone else from becoming a god. When the seven leaders of the Milky Way Alliance heard this news, while the various alliances were busy setting up their arrays, they desperately used their own life-bound divine artifacts combined with their full cultivation to set up a transmission array.
Later, the people of the divine realm knew about the existence of this transmission array and couldn't do anything about it. It was an undirected transmission array, and its location was the entire cultivation world. Among them, the seven-colored divine stone in the Milky Way star domain was the heart of the seven major gods, which was one of the keys to opening the transmission array. The other seven keys were those seven major divine artifacts.
After listening to Xing's explanation, Yun Qing felt a bit heavy in her heart. She found detailed information about the sealing of gods and the Great War of the Divine Realm in the Book Pavilion, which made her understand the situation of the Earth being sealed. No wonder the spiritual energy of the Earth had been decreasing since ancient times, and now it was almost exhausted. Moreover, she must go to the Xiu Zhen Realm, so she must unlock these two arrays or find that transmission array. However, as for the news about the transmission array, she only knew that she needed to find the necessary seven-colored divine stone and seven divine artifacts, but there was no information about the location at all.
Forget it, not even all the things have been found yet, just finding a location is useless. It's okay to find things and locations at the same time. Yun Qingran let go of this matter and took out the icy green jade she had brought with her. When she saw Qu Yu block her way today, she acknowledged him as a person, thinking that he accompanied herself to buy so many woolen goods, decided to give him a small gift.
She sketched it out in her mind, then Cloud Light took out her engraving knife and began to carve. In fact, Cloud Light could have used spiritual power to engrave the knife or directly use alchemy to melt the jade and reshape it, but what she wanted was just the feeling of the carving process, and there was no need to rush for speed when there was no time limit.
The next morning, Yun Qingran finished breakfast and followed Grandfather Yun to prepare for treating Qu's illness. One of the reasons why doctors can't cure themselves is that they worry too much, and Grandfather Yun actually let Yun Qingran accompany him because of this. With her by his side, he wouldn't feel so tense. In his eyes, this granddaughter was almost omnipotent, almost a goddess.
Under the worried gaze of Qu's family, Yun Qingran followed Old Man Yun into Qu Lao's sickroom. After taking Yun Qingran's medicinal pill, Qu Lao had already fallen asleep. Old Man Yun took out his silver needle and began the first treatment, initially using internal energy to kill cancer cells through the silver needle.
Qu Lao's treatment was determined in three steps under the discussion of Yun Qingran and Yun Laoye. The first step is to use Dan medicine to inhibit, which Yun Qingran had already refined when Yun Laoye first received the news; the second step is to use internal force with the help of silver needles to kill cancer cells, completed in three times; the third step is to use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning.
The silver needle treatment took three hours, and after three hours it was almost noon. After eating lunch, Yun Qingran didn't go out again. After resting for a while in the afternoon, he played chess with Old Man Yun in the courtyard, waiting for the evening's treatment.
At that time, National Day was only a three-day holiday. After giving Qu Lao the third silver needle treatment, it was already noon on the third day. Yun Qingran and Yun Lao had taken his pulse to confirm that the cancer cells in Qu Lao's lungs were all killed. To be on the safe side, they also prescribed medicine that could kill abnormal cells and regulate the body for Qu Lao, and told him to go to the hospital for a check-up every month, and three months later to take his pulse again.
As she was about to leave, Yun lightly took out the gifts she had prepared for the Qu family. For Qu Yu and Qu Lao, it was a small pendant each, while the other three people received one peace knot each. Having stayed at the Qu's house for three days, she could feel that the Qu family treated them with sincerity. However, when they saw the precious gifts, the second son and daughter-in-law of the Qu family declined repeatedly, only accepting them after Qu Lao spoke up.
"Here, this is the summary of my lifelong experience and skills in Go, take a look. Although I couldn't accept you as an apprentice, I don't want to waste your talent, hoping to give you some help." Qu Lao had always tried to recruit Yun Qingran as his apprentice, but she never agreed, and after knowing she already had a master, he lost hope. However, he still gave her the notes summarizing his lifelong experience in Go.
Yun Lirang hesitated for a moment before taking the letter, and under Qu Lao's surprised gaze, he bowed his head and saluted, respectfully calling out: "Teacher."
"Alright." Qu Lao was so excited that he danced with joy, originally he was only supposed to send them off at the gate, but he insisted on following the car to send the two to the airport.
Before the plane took off, Yun Lao and Yun Qingran walked towards the waiting room.
"Ah, ah." Old Master Yun turned his head to say something, but found that Cloud Light Rain, who had been following him all along, was gone. He quickly turned around and looked back, why were so many people looking in that direction? Had something happened? He rushed over and squeezed into the crowd, hey, if it wasn't his precious daughter, then who was it? But how did that stinky little brat get here too?
Ye Ningxuan knew Yun Qingran was in Pingzhou, so he finished his work as quickly as possible and flew directly from the capital to Pingzhou, planning to return to C City with her. As soon as he got off the plane, before even leaving the airport, he saw the figure of his beloved and rushed over to tightly hug her. Fortunately, he arrived just in time and didn't miss her. He missed her so much that every second they were apart was torture, and he couldn't imagine how he had spent his days without her by his side before.
"Xuan Gege!" Yun Qingran murmured to herself. She missed him so much, and the only way to alleviate the unbearable heartache was to keep doing something non-stop.
"Gently, baby. I missed you!" As soon as the words came out, both of them had red eyes. Reunited again, they hadn't savored enough the joy and warmth of being together before parting ways once more. Although the time was so brief, to them it felt like an eternity apart.
"Cough, cough!" Mr. Yun cleared his throat loudly a few times, finally bringing the two people who were still embracing back to their senses.
"Grandfather, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Yun Qingran heard Grandfather Yun's urgent coughing and hastily wrapped the silk around his wrist. "Huh? Grandfather's body is very healthy, why would he be coughing?"
Yun Lao's words made Yun Old Man regretful, his old face turned red, and he regretted using illness to attract her attention. Seeing the rare anxious emotions in her calm eyes, he felt warmth in his heart while also feeling sorry for her. This was his most beloved granddaughter, who cared so much about his health.
Ye Ningxuan was holding back a smile as he watched the bewildered Yun Qingran and the regretful Old Master Yun, but seeing how clever Yun Qingran didn't realize that Old Master Yun had just tricked her, his heart ached. He quickly hugged her, who was still inspecting him, and said gently with a hint of pain: "It's okay, it's okay, Grandpa is fine, he just accidentally got splashed by saliva." Although he was Yun Qingran's grandfather, it wouldn't do to let Yun Qingran be too distressed, so this remark, although not exposing Old Master Yun, still teased him a bit.
"Yes, yes. Grandfather is fine. He was just startled to see you appear here suddenly." Cloud Old Master's face, which had just recovered its color, turned red again as he also chimed in to comfort Cloud Light. She glared at Night Ningxuan, not forgetting to give him a scolding look.
Since both of them said it was nothing, Yun Qingran finally put her mind at ease. Moreover, after her examination, Old Master Yun was indeed very healthy. Calmed down, Yun Qingran was still tightly held by Ye Ningxuan, and this time Old Master Yun did not dare to interrupt casually.
The plane quickly returned to City C, and the three of them saw Chen Chen waiting at the airport as soon as they exited the passage. However, he looked anxious at this time. Yun Qingran glanced at his watch, but the flight was not delayed. Suddenly, Yun Qingran and Ye Ningxuan exchanged a glance, had something gone wrong?
At a glance, he saw Yun Ningxuan and Yun Qingran shining brightly like a phoenix in the crowd, as well as the uniquely majestic Cloud Old Master. Chen Cheng immediately went to greet them.
"We'll talk on the way." Seeing Chen Chen wanting to say something urgently, Yun Lao Ye interrupted the words that were about to come out and led the way walking towards the outside of the airport.
The four of them quickened their pace, and as soon as they exited the airport, they saw Chen Chen's car parked in front of the gate. They quickly opened the door and got in, and just as they sat down, the car sped off like a swift arrow.
"What's going on?" Looking at Chen Chen, who had been struggling in the business world for so long and was already used to hiding his emotions behind a calm face, now showed such an urgent expression. It seemed that this time's matter was not trivial at all.
"This afternoon, my brother was taken away by the discipline inspection committee, saying that he had accepted bribes; our company with Yun Xi was also suspended, and the administration for industry and commerce, taxation, and fire protection all came to investigate, saying that our certificates were not complete, we evaded taxes, and our fire protection was unqualified." Chen Chen hastily explained everything.
Mr. Yun's face was solemn, how could these things all come together at the same time, it was clear that someone was framing the Yun family. The Yun family had always been kind to others, who would do such a thing to them? As Mr. Yun thought about this, his clenched fist was gently patted by someone, and when he looked up, he saw Yun Qingran with a calm expression.
"Grandfather, it's nothing. I was just thinking about how they've been waiting for so long without making a move. Now that they're taking action, it's even better. Otherwise, I would have had to think of ways to get them to make their move earlier, so we can resolve all the potential troubles early on." Yun Qing said this as if she was commenting on the weather, but it shocked both Old Man Yun and Chen Chen, wondering if this was a premeditated plan.
"Have you been prepared for this all along?" Cloud Old Master asked tentatively.
"En, the news I got some time ago, made some preparations. Uncle forgot that day I told my eldest uncle that we didn't know who to thank for sending things?" Yun Qingran nodded. Mr. and Mrs. Yun put their minds at ease, Yun Qingran said they were prepared, so the Yun family wouldn't have any problems, and might even improve, this was everyone's understanding of Yun Qingran after all these years.
The car arrived directly at the Jingyuan Villa. Seeing Yun Lao Ye and Yun Qing Ran return, Chen Rong's worried face immediately eased a bit. Originally, Yun Lao Ye was the pillar of the family, now with the addition of Yun Qing Ran, two pillars have returned, she seemed to have gained support, her tightly strung heart finally relaxed a little.
Looking at the room full of red-eyed women, Shen Qin also came over. Cloud Old Master's face was calm as he waved his hand: "I already know what happened, let's all go rest first. This matter Ranye had long been prepared for, and it's a good opportunity to catch the hidden enemies in the Cloud family."
Yun Lao Ye Zi said so, Yun Xi and others who were already exhausted in their hearts finally put down their worries. The three of them greeted everyone together and then went upstairs to prepare their rooms. Since Yun Xiang Yan was not there, Shen Qin stayed behind to accompany Chen Rong.
"Brother, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you." It was already late when they returned home. Cloud Old Master and Chen Chen said goodbye to Cloud Light and Ye Ningxuan, and went back to their room, leaving the matter to be handled by Cloud Light alone.
Three people whispered in the study for nearly half an hour, and Yun Chenyi, who was still very sad, showed a smile, nodded happily with Yun Qingran, and then returned to his own room.
"I'll go call the teacher to ask for leave, you go wash up and sleep first." Ye Ningxuan smiled as he sent Yun Qingran back to her room, then returned to the study to make the call before heading back to his own room to freshen up. Although the two had special privileges, not going to school still required a phone call to the teacher, which was a matter of courtesy and also a reminder not to be arrogant just because they were favored.
The next day, Yun Chenyi went to school as usual, while Yun Qingran and Ye Ningxuan stayed at home waiting for news. At noon, the phone rang suddenly, and Chen Rong, who was sitting beside the phone, answered it.
"Hello, this is the Yun family. Who are you looking for?" Chen Rong said with a strong spirit, but in the next moment her hands shook violently and tears gushed out of her eyes: "What have you done to Xiao Yi? Don't hurt Xiao Yi... don't hurt him, I'll do whatever you say... just don't hurt him..." After that, Chen Rong's words became incoherent, and the phone in her hand fell to the ground with a loud crash.
"Big Aunt, it's okay. Sorry, I told my cousin not to use martial arts to let them take him away beforehand, this is to obtain some evidence. You have to believe in my cousin's skills, and I've arranged for someone to assist secretly. Not telling you was just so that when you answered the phone, you wouldn't reveal any flaws." After confirming that the other end of the line had hung up, Yun Qingran immediately explained to Chen Rong. Seeing her so traumatized, she couldn't bear it either - after all, this was also a loved one who cared for her deeply!
Hearing Yun Qingran's words, Chen Rong, who had lost her soul, came back to herself: "What you said is true, Xiao Yi really has nothing wrong."
"En," Yun nodded lightly: "But in order to rescue my uncle as soon as possible, I went along with the situation and promoted this matter. Only in this way can we obtain the most evidence as soon as possible and bring down the hidden enemy. If we don't catch them all at once, our Yun family will be framed for the first time, and then framed again for the second time. This is something we cannot prevent, after all, who can guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
Everyone in the house except Ye Ningxuan, who had already known about it, let out a sigh of relief and looked at Yun Qingran with a mixture of surprise and admiration, quietly waiting for news. This is indeed the child of the Yun family, so excellent at such a young age. This was the common thought among the people present.
The waiting time is always so long, but a few hours of time seems like an eternity to a group of people. Around five o'clock in the afternoon, the slightly ajar door of the Yun family was pushed open, and everyone's eyes were fixed on it. When they saw that disheveled figure, Chen Rong rushed over before anyone could react.
"Xiao Yi, are you hurt? Tell Mommy if there's anywhere on your body that doesn't feel comfortable? Does it hurt?" Chen Rong tightly hugged Yun Chenyi, then suddenly seemed to remember something and let go, flipping him over and checking his body several times.
Yun Chenyi was hastily checked by his mother, Chen Rong, who cried out in distress: "Mom, I'm fine, it's just some superficial wounds. They're not even as bad as the ones I get from training. Let me give this stuff to my sister and we can go rescue Dad now." After this incident, Yun Chenyi seemed to mature overnight, showing no resistance to his mother's actions, instead comforting her and cooperating with her movements.
It wasn't until her son reminded her that Chen Rong remembered that he was willing to risk his life to save his father, and she felt a surge of pride amidst the sadness. She looked around at everyone else and saw that they were all red-eyed too.
Yun Qingran looked at Yun Chenyi and found that he was only dirty and torn, with some scratches on his exposed skin. Only then did she put her mind at ease. Although Yun Chenyi had the peace symbol jade pendant that was given to him, it was only useful for saving his life in critical moments, but not for avoiding injury. It seemed that the preparations made by teaching him martial arts over the years were correct.
"Brother." Yun Qingran gazed at the tender face in front of her, and after this time, Yun Chenyi's faintly revealed determination and maturity. She softly called out to him. Had his tragic fate been altered by her?
"Alright, you check if these things are ready, I'll go take a bath and change my clothes first. Let's head home together later." Without saying much more, Yun Chenyi handed the Buddhist beads and chain to Yun Qingran and turned to run upstairs. He had been firmly remembering what Yun Qingran told him yesterday - whether or not they could completely defeat their enemy this time depended on him. He felt proud that he could take on such an important task, but also a little afraid that he might not be able to do it perfectly. However, when he saw the concerned and proud looks from his family members, these feelings became unimportant - as long as he had done his best, that was all that mattered.
Just rinsed off the dust, Yun Chenyi quickly ran downstairs. Before that, Yun Qingran had already taken out the chip storing video and audio recordings from the Buddhist beads and did some preliminary editing on her computer using the technique she used to refine equipment.
"Grandpa, you all just wait at home for us. I'll go with Xuan and brother to pick up the storage chips from Da Shu's house, once we get them we'll head directly to Grandpa's place." Yun Qingran said as she carried her computer on her back, and before anyone could respond, the three of them had already left.
The highway outside Jing Shan was empty, with very few cars. Ye Ning Xuan accelerated the car to its limit, heading towards the city center as Yun Chen Yi looked on in terror. Taking out the microchip from Yun's house, Yun Qing Rang quickly found the crucial part and cut it down, along with some of the footage and audio from earlier, and recorded them onto a tape. The three then rushed to Ye's house.
"Alright, alright." Seeing Yun Qingran's arrival, Ye Wen Hao didn't show a hint of surprise, clearly having known about it beforehand and waiting for her here. Ye Wen Hao looked at Yun Qingran's small face and couldn't help but praise in his heart, another clever and almost eerie child, he had thought that only his son Xuan was an exception, unexpectedly he met another girl whose intellect wasn't inferior to his son's. His son was truly lucky to have met her, otherwise he really wouldn't know who could accompany his intelligent son for a lifetime.
When it can't be solved in the most direct way, it must have been helped by Ye Wen Hao to perfectly solve this trouble. Rather than explaining slowly afterwards, it's better to let Ye Wen Hao, who is a key figure in the plan, participate in the plan early on. So after arranging her own plan, she directly found Ye Wen Hao and told him about it. As for Yun Xiang Yan, in order for the plan to proceed perfectly, Yun Qing Ran did not rashly tell him without knowing his acting skills.
"Dry dad, now that I've finished all my work, the rest is up to you." Yun Qingran put the large envelope in her hand on Ye Wenhuo's desk, smiled, and stood aside.
"You little devil!" The usually serious Night Daddy couldn't help but reveal a smile, mischievously making a silencing gesture to the three of them, and picked up the phone on the table to dial directly.
"Hey, is that Old Zhao? ... I'm Ye Wen Hao! ... You didn't even hear about my business, you should be punished... Can't just call you for nothing, right? ... Yeah, there's something good... Send someone over here now, I have something interesting to show you... Alright, I'll wait at home..." Listening to the two of them talking, it seems like the person on the other end of the phone and Ye Dad have a pretty good relationship. Even Ye Wen Hao, who usually doesn't talk much, chatted with him for a bit.
Three people listening to Ye Wen's conversation, hearing that the other side would send someone over immediately, looked at each other and smiled. Although they weren't too worried about Yun Xiangyan's safety, it was still great that they could get out earlier and suffer less. In that place, the other side wouldn't let Yun Xiangyan live comfortably if he wanted him to plead guilty.
At past 11 o'clock at night, Yun Lao Ye Zi, who had been keeping watch and hadn't gone to sleep, received a call from Ye Wen Hao. The Discipline Inspection Commission that came from above had already taken away Yun Xiang Yan, asking him to assist in the investigation, so there shouldn't be any problems. At the same time, he was told to inform Chen Chen and Yun Xi that the company could operate normally tomorrow, and as for the suspension of business for rectification, there would be an explanation later.
Put down the stone in their hearts, adults all returned to normal life, San Xiao also went to school normally the next day.
"Your family's company is going to be shut down, and you're still so calm coming to class. You're really a cold-blooded guy, not even caring about your own relatives." As soon as he walked into the classroom, Yun Qingran heard Liang Mingri's chatter. Yun Qingran's face turned cold, and he glanced at him before calmly walking to his seat, treating him like air.
Liang Ming saw the cold light in Yun Qingran's eyes and was frightened to the point of forgetting to speak. After a while, he came back to his senses, his face turned red, and when he wanted to open his mouth again, he saw Liang Mingxing glare at him, so he could only shut his mouth with a stuffy expression.
Are you okay? Liang Mingxing asked Yun Qingran with a worried gaze.
Yun gently shook her head at him. She didn't say that it might be his family's affair. This time, she had already known that the Liang family was one of the main forces, but whether they were the mastermind or not, she wasn't very clear about. However, this time the Yun family turned the tables, so the Liang family would definitely have a hard time, and she didn't know if he knew the news and would hate her for it. But that was irrelevant anyway, to him, she only had some admiration for him.
No more thinking about it, Yun Qingran walked back to her own seat and before she even sat down, she received comfort from the three people at the same table and the one behind.
"Come on, don't be sad, your family is definitely fine, they must have made a mistake. If you need any help, just tell me and I'll get my dad to help you." Tang Xin consoled first, her words filled with concern. The Yun family's matter was not small, their influence in C City was not small, so she naturally knew about it.
"It's just a small matter. If there's anything you need help with, just say so, we're friends." Ji Yanbin continued, speaking after Tang Xin. For the first time, he didn't raise an eyebrow at Tang Xin.
Shu Lang still looked cool: "If you have something on your mind, just say it, I'll help you."
Yun Qingran smiled lightly, and the three people who had never seen Yun Qingran's smile before were all stunned. It took them a while to react. Except for Tang Xin, who was always carefree, the other two people turned their faces away with red ears, not daring to look at Yun Qingran again.
"Wow, Ranran. You're so beautiful!" Tang Xin exclaimed with a flushed face. She knew Yun Qingran was stunning, but she hadn't expected her to be even more breathtaking when smiling, leaving even herself stunned. Suddenly, she got excited: "Ranran, I forgot to tell you! Do you know? You made the list!"
"Made it onto the list?" What list? Yun Qingran asked back in confusion. Didn't Jin Se still have to take her exams yet?
By the way
Here is the translation:
"Once again, I'm sending over 10,000 words. This includes the last 2,000 words of stored drafts from Chen Xing yesterday, plus the 5,000 words written yesterday and the 3,000 words written today."
