Qin Ran looked down at the address.
The manor address in Continent M.
She deleted the message after seeing that Gu Xichi had yet to reply.
Frowning, she glanced at Cheng Mu in the car.
Could it be that she had stayed with Cheng Mu too long? Was the deterioration of IQ contagious?
Cheng Mu felt himself being stared at and scratched his head consciously. “Miss Qin, are we going back?”
He wondered if Qin Ran wanted him to go back to the arena.
Qin Ran waited for Shi Liming to turn on the air conditioner before taking off her jacket and putting it aside. She replied in a suppressed voice, “No.”
Shi Liming thought for a while and replied, “The manor has an indoor training ground, but the venue isn’t very large. It’s generally used by the leaders, so I haven’t been there before. However, Mr. Cheng Shui should know about it.”
Qin Ran nodded in understanding.
Gu Xichi was still in the laboratory of the medical organization.
He wore a white standard coat of the medical organization. These coats were unique to them and were unlike the heavy radiation-proof lead coats worn by surgeons. Gu Xichi’s white research coat had radiation protection inside.
But its cost was extremely high and the diamond big boss had sponsored it.
If it was simply a medical organization, students wouldn’t be equipped with such a set of equipment.
“Teacher, are there any medicines that can accelerate the healing of active cells from the pile you researched last time?” Gu Xichi took out a pile of medicine from a row on the cabinet and turned to look at the old man.
He took two or three bottles of each medicine and left only one bottle as a sample.
The old man turned and looked at the experimental drug that Gu Xichi held in his hand. His lips twitched and he yelled, “Horrible disciple, you took my research drugs again!”
Last time he had also looted almost all of his medicines!
He was at it again?!
“I’ll give you free subjects and let you record the efficacy of the drug.” Gu Xichi handed a bunch of things in his hand to Jiang Dongye and turned to look at the old man. “Without the diamond boss, how could you research so many drugs?”
The old man was silent after hearing this.
The diamond tycoon transferred a huge sum of money to the medical organization every time. Since the old man’s disciple had been the one to find this sponsor, the medical organization always allocated funds to the old man for investment in experimental equipment and drugs.
The old man simply couldn’t study so many things if not for these supports.
“That’s not the case with your senior,” he couldn’t refute and just murmured.
Gu Xichi ignored him.
The old man thought of something and glanced at Gu Xichi again. He sat upright and asked a little nervously, “Speaking of your senior, is he not coming?”
He asked apprehensively.
He even sounded a little expectant.
Gu Xichi had only looted his laboratory, but once Cheng Juan came…
The old man didn’t imagine further.
At the mention of this, Gu Xichi took out his phone and saw that Qin Ran had withdrawn a message.
Feeling strange, he decided to ignore it and sent a message—
[Where are you guys?]
Qin Ran’s reply was also quite fast: [Continent M.]
Then, she quickly sent another message. The Yunguang Consortium’s stronghold was in Continent M. She asked Gu Xichi to send the medicines over there.
Gu Xichi looked sideways at the old man and chuckled. “He has arrived in Continent M.”
The medical organization was in Continent M.
The old man was stunned.
Gu Xichi glanced at his phone again—
[What message did you just withdraw? Did you do something stupid?]
Qin Ran didn’t reply and just sent him a smiling emoji.

It was already night when Qin Ran and the others returned to the manor.
Cheng Juan was still in his study. He had kept the documents on his desk and placed a computer there instead.
He was looking at the surveillance videos.
There was only one surveillance camera at the stairs.
Rui Jin and Qin Ran passed by each other in just one minute.
But Qin Ran stood at the stairs for a long time.
Outside, a servant knocked on the door. “Miss Qin is back. Should I lay out dinner?”
Cheng Juan nodded before exiting the video and standing up.
The dining table was on the first floor.
In the past, only Cheng Shui, Qin Ran, Cheng Juan, and Cheng Mu ate together. But today, Cheng Huo joined them.
“Does the manor have a small indoor training ground?” Qin Ran picked up a piece of boiled meat and glanced at Cheng Juan.
Holding his chopsticks but only taking a few bites of rice due to a lack of appetite, Cheng Juan said, “There’s my training ground on the first floor. Nobody goes there, but you can if you want to.”
“Okay.” Qin Ran put her phone on the table and nodded.
After eating, Cheng Juan handed over her phone when he saw her get up.
Qin Ran took it and glanced at him. “I’m going to the training ground first. Go back to sleep after you finish eating.”
Cheng Juan nodded. He hadn’t slept well in half a month’s time. But he still put down his chopsticks and stood up with her. “The training ground is over there.”
Cheng Shui, who had put down his chopsticks and was about to stand up to lead Qin Ran to the training ground, looked down and picked up his chopsticks again.
If the training grounds of the manor were already considered fully equipped, Cheng Juan’s had even more facilities.
It was the miniature version of the large training ground outside.
“This is a machine with a sensor that can test the strength of your punch…” Cheng Juan took her around the small training ground and introduced her to the use of various training equipment.
Although this training ground had been prepared for him, he hadn’t lived here much in the past year.
This was his first time in the training ground, but he was clear about the facilities inside.
Qin Ran originally wanted to bring Cheng Mu here to experience it personally, but she also wanted to test those force sensors.
The highest record on the sensor was 910.
However, since it was Cheng Juan who brought her here, she thought for a moment and decided not to try it. Instead, she nodded casually. “Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow. Let’s go back.”
Cheng Juan was waiting for her to try it and raised an eyebrow when he saw that she had no intention of trying it out. He asked lightly, “Aren’t you trying it?”
“No, I want to play games.” Qin Ran looked away and walked out. She turned around and raised an eyebrow when Cheng Juan didn’t follow.
Cheng Juan smiled at Qin Ran. “Let’s go back.”

On the second floor in Qin Ran’s room.
Qin Ran returned and turned on her computer. At this time, Cheng Mu knocked on the door and handed Lin Siran’s pot of flowers to her.
This pot of flowers needed to be taken care of every day. Usually, Cheng Mu wouldn’t enter her room at night.
But today, he just wanted to return the pot of flowers to her.
“Wait for me on the first floor at seven o’clock tomorrow morning,” Qin Ran said calmly and reached out for the pot of flowers.
Cheng Mu nodded and retreated silently. He didn’t return to his room and went to the training ground outside instead.
Qin Ran turned around after he left.
She indeed opened her game page. Lu Zhaoying’s voice sounded, calling her to play one round.
Qin Ran pulled out her chair and sat down. Instead of immediately starting playing, she opened a document first. “Wait for me for a while, I’m writing something.”
“Okay, I’ll play one round first.” Lu Zhaoying was easygoing.
Picking up his mouse and clicking on a match with his opponents, he suddenly remembered something. “You’re having an outing in Continent M? Did the chef that Cheng Mu posted about start a barbecue restaurant? I think he really does barbecue well,” he said casually.
Qin Ran asked while typing, “What chef?”
Although she had Cheng Mu’s account, she didn’t have the habit of reading his posts.
Hence, she didn’t know that he had posted a video of the mercenary leader barbecuing.
But she faintly remembered it after hearing Lu Zhaoying speak about it.
“Two days ago, your chef gave you a barbecue in the wilderness.”
Qin Ran: “… he probably won’t open a restaurant.”
She was drawing up a training plan for Cheng Mu. About three minutes later, she realized something was wrong. Narrowing her eyes, she opened her editor page and checked the wireless system of the manor.
Someone was trying to check on her through the wireless system.
Other than that, Cheng Juan’s system had been touched as well.
“This person is too daring…” Qin Ran leaned against her chair and closed the document. She directly opened the search engine.
The computer game page was minimized and the screen turned into black, with white texts on it.
Lines of code jumped on the screen.
At the same time.
In the row of guest rooms at the back of the castle, the blond woman sat in front of her computer. She had just invaded Qin Ran’s wireless port from the wireless network but had yet to retreat completely. All of a sudden, her screen turned black!
