Chapter 597 - Out of Expectations

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Besides Cheng Juan, everyone was stunned.

“What are Xie Yang’s men doing here?” Old Master Yang was especially flustered. He scanned his surroundings but didn’t see Xie Fumeng around. “Xie Fumeng is here too?”

Old Master Yang was rather confused.

Besides carrying out tasks, Xie Fument was never involved in the other miscellaneous stuff.

Now that his four allied men had all appeared...

Old Master Yang couldn’t help but wonder what was being plotted.

In any case, nobody was going to ruin his plans today.

Whatever Old Master Yang said was actually quite foreign to most of the Xu family.

The existence of the Underground Alliance in Continent M wasn’t widely known.

The rest of the people present exchanged glances.

At this point, half of them walked over.

Only Second Uncle Xu, who was still on the ground, looked up in horror. “It’s them, it’s them! The force that’s as powerful as the Mas family. They’re on equal standing with the senior members of the Mas family. It was they who gave me information about Miss Qin back in Continent M!”

If it wasn’t for that, Second Uncle Xu wouldn’t have hurried back to Continent M so soon.

They all knew what the Underground Alliance was, but it was a different thing to find out that they were on equal standing with the Mas family. The Mas family was such a powerful group in Continent M, they managed to back the Yunguang Consortium in its rapid development over just a few years!

Xu Yaoguang and Second Uncle Xu initially thought that the Xu family could get help from this certain power.

They didn’t expect that the power they were facing would be as strong as the Mas family!

They could destroy the Xu family anytime.

The Xu family didn’t feel blessed anymore.

Xu Yaoguang looked cold as usual. He turned to Qin Ran and smiled sadly. “You shouldn’t have gotten involved.”

“Young Master Cheng,” Butler Xu said as his mind cleared up. He seemed to have come to a tough decision as he said between clenched teeth, “Please, take Miss Qin and our Young Master with you. I’ll deal with the Yang family...”

As he was speaking, Qin Ran walked through the crowd expressionlessly.

She didn’t respond to Butler Xu.

“Miss Qin, no!” Butler Xu hurriedly stopped her.

He had always known that Qin Ran was a strong-headed girl who could fight. But whatever Second Uncle Xu had just said scared Butler Xu.

Qin Ran’s body... wasn’t in a good state right now!

“Miss Qin!”

Qin Ran stopped in her tracks and calmly said to him, “Butler Xu, get them to prepare themselves. We’ll set off right now.”

Butler Xu was shocked. “But Miss Qin, we...”

Before he was done talking, Qin Ran stood in place before the four men.

She turned towards the other men in black around and asked, “Those are your men?”

Xie Yang, the one kneeling in front of the other three men, raised his arm. “Responding to Fumeng, those are our men!”

“Good.” Qin Ran had her hands behind her back calmly. “Clear the tracks in Continent M and take a team with you!”

“Yes!” Xie Yang responded.

The place went quiet for a while before Qin Ran turned towards Old Master Yang, who no longer looked smug. “Apologies, Godpa. I happen to have the Underground Alliance as my backing too.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two factions faced each other in the huge airport space.

When Qin Ran said that, even Ming Hai’s expression changed.

His mind buzzed!

He’d always thought of Qin Ran as someone like Ning’er—smart, but not smart enough. He felt that she and Ning’er would always be under someone else’s control and were never going to be on the same level as he and Old Master Yang.

Be it IT or Physics, Ming Hai treated her niche areas with disdain.

But now...

Qin Ran was actually part of the Underground Alliance...

Ming Hai looked at Qin Ran with mixed expressions. As crafty as he was, he never saw this coming.

In that case, Ming Hai was now unsure when it came to facing Giant Crocodile.

He plotted against Old Master Yang and then contacted the 129, all in a bid to gain control over the top four households in Beijing. He wanted the whole of Beijing to be his territory.

He also wanted Cheng Juan to marry Ouyang Wei because he felt that she was good enough.

But now, nothing was going according to his plan.

He never expected Qin Ran to have such strong backing. Had he known, he wouldn’t have stopped Cheng Juan from being with her...

Cheng Juan, who had remained silent this whole time, now walked towards Qin Ran. He grabbed her right hand and took her pulse.

“How could I have handed you to the Xu family and Xu Shiying...” Cheng Juan recalled the viruses that existed where Gu Xichi was and couldn’t help but feel distressed. “Ran Ran, l-let’s go back. We’ll look for Gu Xichi first!”

Ming Hai was getting flustered now that things were no longer in his control. “Cheng Juan, you!”

Cheng Juan snapped at him and took a deep breath to calm himself. He tapped the mic on his earbuds and instructed coldly, “Place this area on lockdown. Second Uncle Xu will stay. As for the rest... settle every single one of them as needed.”

Old Master Yang finally snapped out of his daze. “I admit that I underestimated you, but my son is on the way...”

“Yang Shuyan of the Underground Alliance, right?” Giant Crocodile and Cheng Tu appeared from behind. Cheng Tu went over and shook Cheng Juan’s hand. “His men have been stopped at the borders. As for the 27 Underground Alliance men whom you left in the suburbs, we have already contacted Hao Dui to send them to the international heavy-duty prison.”
