60: Section 60

“Alright, do you have time this afternoon? I’ll send you my address later.”

“With a beauty inviting me, I’ll make time even if I don’t have any.”

“Such a smooth talker.”

Ran Qingyan chided playfully.

“Then I’ll see you this afternoon.”

After hanging up, Ran Qingyan called her mother.

“What?! Are you talking about *that* Xiao Family?!”

Luo Yan’s surprised cry came from the other end of the phone.

“Yes, I don’t think there’s a second Xiao Family in Jiang Province.”

“Hahaha, good! I didn’t expect you to have a connection with Young Master Xiao. Now our Ran Family has hope of rising!”

Luo Yan’s voice was filled with smiles. She hadn’t expected her daughter to quietly gain the favor of a Great Figure.

It would be even more perfect if Young Master Xiao could take a liking to her daughter.

“No, that waste son-in-law must divorce my daughter.

It’s bad enough that he’s been leeching off our Ran Family all these years, but I can’t let him ruin my daughter’s good fortune.”

The thought of Su Yuan, that live-in son-in-law, filled Luo Yan with disgust.

“Mom, remember to get ready. I have another call, so I’ll hang up now.”

“Alright, aren’t you confident in your mom’s ability to handle things?”

After hanging up, Luo Yan looked at Su Yuan, who was leisurely watching TV nearby, and her anger flared.

“You waste! Do you really think you’re a master of the house?

Go buy groceries right now, or you won’t eat tonight.”

“But isn’t buying groceries the Nanny’s job?”

Su Yuan had naturally heard everything in the phone call just now.

What he hadn’t expected was for Vermilion Bird to fail.

It seems this Xiao Fan is not simple, Su Yuan thought to himself.

With a ‘smack’.

Luo Yan wouldn't indulge him; a powerful slap landed directly on Su Yuan’s face.

Even with Su Yuan’s considerable strength, the slap near his ear still left his head ringing.

Su Yuan suddenly stood up, then forced a fawning smile.

“Mother-in-law, I’ll go, I’ll go, alright?”

As a Ninja Turtle, Su Yuan was long accustomed to a mere slap.

Sometimes, he even felt a little unaccustomed if Luo Yan didn’t hit him.

“You waste, one day I’ll make you get out of the Ran Family!”

Watching Su Yuan’s retreating back, Luo Yan muttered, then began to instruct the servants to get to work.

She dared not be negligent today, as she was hosting Xiao Fan.

After walking out of the Ran Family home, Su Yuan’s demeanor changed.

No one who saw him now would associate him with that waste son-in-law.

“Vermilion Bird, I didn’t expect you to fail. You’ve truly disappointed me.”

If Vermilion Bird hadn’t failed, why would he have to endure such indignity?

Upon hearing this, Mo Qingwu’s figure appeared before Su Yuan.

“Hall Master, that Xiao Fan is quite strong; I’m no match for him.”

However, she did not mention being captured alive by Xiao Fan.

Su Yuan was naturally suspicious, and if he knew, he would surely be wary of her in the future.

“Hmph, if not for the three-year agreement approaching, I would personally take care of this person.

You may withdraw for now; I need to go buy groceries.”

“Hall Master, there’s something I want to ask you. Do you know which organization the Man in Black who destroyed my Mo Family came from?”

Mo Qingwu stared into Su Yuan’s eyes, her tone calm, but her heart was far from it.

“I’m still investigating this matter. When there’s a result, I’ll naturally inform you. Withdraw.”

Under Mo Qingwu’s gaze, Su Yuan felt a little flustered inside, but his expression remained calm.

“Hall Master… do you know something…?”

Mo Qingwu continued to probe Su Yuan.

“Impudent! How dare you question me like this now? Withdraw!”

Seeing that Mo Qingwu was relentless, Su Yuan reprimanded her.

“Yes.”

Mo Qingwu responded softly.

The scales in her heart began to tip.

Before, she had never doubted, or rather, was unwilling to doubt Su Yuan.

But after Xiao Fan’s revelation, coupled with today’s probing, Su Yuan’s reaction today gave her a bad premonition.

“I hope you don’t disappoint me…”

...“I just attended one banquet, and now I have to attend another.”

Xiao Fan lay on the sofa, leisurely petting a white Ragdoll cat.

“Young Master, all of Qin Hao’s information is here!”

Qing Yuan walked over and handed the documents to Xiao Fan.

“Oh, I didn’t expect such efficiency.”

However, Xiao Fan thought about it and realized it made sense. The Qin Family was just a small family.

If it took a long time to investigate a Qin Hao, then the Xiao Family’s intelligence network could be considered for replacement.

“This kid is still studying at Fenglan University. In that case, let him be expelled.

Have him transferred to Jiang Province University. Also, put pressure on the Qin Family; I want the Qin Family to go bankrupt within three days.”

It’s naturally reassuring to keep the Child of Destiny under his watchful eye.

He could harvest him whenever he wanted; wouldn’t that be wonderful?

As for the Qin Family, a mere small family, it could be annihilated with a flick of his hand.

“Yes, I’ll go take care of it now.”

Qing Yuan bowed in acceptance of the order, then vanished from the living room in a blink.

“Qin Hao, oh Qin Hao, I’m starting to look forward to your expression when you see me at Jiang Province University.”

Chapter 54: He is my dearest friend, my brother!

“Oh? This kid actually has a good buddy.”

This information was very detailed; it almost included the color of Qin Hao’s underwear today.

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow, pulled out his phone, and directly dialed a number.

“Hello, who is this?” The man on the other end of the line sounded a bit tired.

“You’re Kong Junhao, right? I hear your relationship with Qin Hao is quite good. Are you interested in working for me?”

“Who exactly are you?”

Kong Junhao was a bit puzzled. He was just a college student who hadn't graduated yet, so why would someone want him to work for them?

Could it be a scam call?

“Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is that I know you’re very short on money right now. Your mother’s illness will probably require a lot of money for surgery, won’t it?”

Upon hearing this, a trace of shock flashed in Kong Junhao’s eyes.

His mother had only been hospitalized for half a day, and he hadn’t even had time to tell his best brother, Qin Hao.

After a moment of silence, Kong Junhao spoke,
