Chapter 257: Alarm All Big Bosses

First Middle School.

The Qiao family came soon after Qin Ran and the others had left.

“Bring this driver there.” Qiao Sheng glanced at the driver who had been dragged out from his car, his expression cold.

The Qiao family made a fortune in real estate and was reputable in Yun Cheng, so nobody dared to say anything at his order.

When Qian Dui reached, Qiao Sheng had already ordered his men to take the driver to the hospital.

The scene was sealed off and the cordon was pulled. Some people were looking for surveillance cameras, while another group of people was investigating the cause of the accident and collecting suspicious points.

“Qian Dui, that kid took the suspect away.” The person-in-charge came forward after seeing Qian Dui and reported immediately.

Qian Dui had met Qiao Sheng several times because of Qin Ran, so they naturally knew each other.

Hearing this, he simply nodded without saying anything. He walked over to Qiao Sheng and asked him what happened.

“Sister Ran’s left hand is injured.” Qiao Sheng glanced at his phone, his pursed lips cold. Lin Siran had just sent him the results.

“Left hand?” Qian Dui frowned. “I see.”

Since Qian Dui could be trusted, Qiao Sheng handed the scene to him and rushed to the hospital to see Qin Ran.

The Qiao family’s driver waited for Qiao Sheng to get into the car before driving straight to the hospital.

When the car turned a corner, Qiao Sheng felt like something was wrong.

He looked out of the window. Qian Dui and Feng Loucheng were obviously very concerned about Qin Ran, so it was reasonable to say that Qian Dui would be extremely angry and distressed after learning that she had injured her left hand and delayed her college examination two days later…

Qian Dui had indeed been furious just now, but… as for any signs of distress…

Qiao Sheng frowned. He hadn’t seemed distressed.

At the downtown villa.

The whole high school was on holiday, so Lu Zhaoying didn’t need to go to the school doctor’s office these days. He went to the villa early in the morning to find Qin Ran and Cheng Juan.

Unexpectedly, the villa was empty.

Sitting on the sofa, he reached out to touch his ear studs and looked at Shi Liming, who was sitting not far away. He supported his chin with one hand and asked indifferently, “Xiao Shi, you’re Master Juan’s subordinate, but you’re following Qin Ran now? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

With Shi Liming’s return to China, Cheng Shui had already explained to him carefully about what could and could not be said.

At this time, he only replied respectfully, “Young Master Lu, I’m following Mr. Cheng Shui.”

“Oh.” Lu Zhaoying nodded in understanding.

Out of all the Cheng brothers, it was rumored that only Cheng Mu had been placed in an important position, while the others had been exiled. It was extremely impressive for them to be able to come back after being exiled.

“It’s not easy to come back.” Lu Zhaoying glanced appreciatively at Shi Liming.

It was indeed not easy to follow Qin Ran. There weren’t many people who could call Qin Ran’s name so naturally, so Shi Liming also looked at Lu Zhaoying in awe.

Lu Zhaoying had already sent a message to Qin Ran asking when she would be back, but she had yet to respond.

He laid down on the sofa and told Butler Cheng what he wanted to eat for lunch.

Butler Cheng noted them down one by one and was about to report to the kitchen.

He turned around and was about to go to the kitchen when the phone on the coffee table in the hall rang.

Lu Zhaoying was sitting on the side of the coffee table, his legs resting lazily on it. He was closest to the phone, so he picked it up directly, and even turned to say to Butler Cheng, “It must be Qin…”

But before he finished his sentence, he paused.

Almost instantly, his expression turned extremely gloomy.

He hung up the phone with a “slam”, then put down his legs, stood up, and walked outside with his car key.

As the youngest son of the Lu family, Lu Zhaoying was always indifferent and was somewhat similar to Qin Ran.

Hence, Butler Cheng was surprised at his sudden swift movement. “Young Master Lu, what happened?”

Lu Zhaoying had already reached the gate when he heard Butler Cheng. Pausing, he turned around, a cigarette in his mouth, and chuckled coldly. “Someone is courting his death.”

**

In the hospital.

By the time Lu Zhaoying arrived, Cheng Mu and Cheng Juan were in the corridor. A fat man was slumped on the floor. It was the chauffeur.

Lin Siran was accompanying Qin Ran in the ward.

Lu Zhaoying got down from the elevator, threw the cigarette into the trash can, and walked over.

“Master Juan, is this him?” He raised his foot and kicked the person beside him, chuckling coldly.

The Qiao family’s bodyguard said immediately, “This man is very tight-lipped. He refuses to give us an explanation.”

Cheng Juan had just come out after helping Qin Ran deal with her injuries. Hearing this, he remained silent and only squatted down slowly. He grabbed the man’s collar and forced him to look up at him.

With dark eyes like the unchanging night sky, he asked, “Did you hit her?”

The chauffeur admitted very simply. “Yes.”

“Nobody else instructed you?”

The chauffeur thought of what the man had said to him and refused to sell him out. He even put on a mocking smile and said carelessly, “No, it’s completely due to my brake failure. I will carry any consequence by myself.”

The man had told him that since it was an incident out of brake failure, and he hadn’t fled the scene nor killed anyone intentionally, he wouldn’t be severely sentenced.

After this incident, he would give him two million yuan. It was worth it.

“Ok.” Cheng Juan let go of him and nodded slightly.

He stood up and Cheng Mu handed him a document that had just been printed not long ago.

The driver laid on the ground, his forehead bruised. He was slightly frightened at Cheng Juan’s light actions.

When he looked up, he saw the information in Cheng Juan’s hands…

There were several pictures printed on the back of the paper. It was obviously a woman and a child.

Their outlines were blurred, but anyone familiar with them would be able to recognize them.

The chauffeur’s expression changed drastically. “Wait, I said…”

Cheng Juan put away the document and wiped his hands with a piece of paper towel calmly.

Cheng Mu directly covered the chauffeur’s mouth and pressed down. His tough face was expressionless, and he only sneered. “Master Juan already gave you a chance, but you still refused to speak the truth. Since you’re unwilling, you can keep quiet about it forever.”

As for the truth…

There had yet to be a case that Cheng Juan hadn’t uncovered the truth from.

Most of the people in Beijing knew how ruthless he was.

The chauffeur struggled harder when he heard this, but Cheng Mu was not the same person anymore.

Even if there were ten more people, they had no chance of escaping from him.

Cheng Juan lowered his head and ignored the chauffeur. After wiping his hands clean, he leaned on the wall instead of going in. He took out a cigarette, his expression light.

But anyone familiar with him knew that his mood was now on the verge of extreme danger.

Lu Zhaoying glanced at him and didn’t dare to disturb him. Without asking further about who had the nerve to instigate this incident, he went into the ward to see Qin Ran, signaling for the others to leave as well.

Cheng Juan stood by the trash can, his cigarette lit. He didn’t smoke it and just watched as it slowly burned to the end.

His phone rang in his pocket and he picked up directly.

It was Old Master Cheng.

“I’ve heard from Butler Cheng.” Old Master Cheng’s voice was calm and his face was speckled with deep gorges. “It doesn’t matter whether she can participate in the college entrance examination. I’ll arrange the rest of the matter.”

Under the cloud of smoke, Cheng Juan’s eyebrows were full of evil tendencies.

His voice was very soft and he sounded almost amused. “No need, Dad.”

He hung up the phone and walked into the ward.

Qin Ran didn’t know that her injury this time had not only shocked the people in Yun Cheng, but also several big bosses in Beijing.

**

In the ward, Lin Siran, Lu Zhaoying, and Qiao Sheng were all there. Butler Cheng had hurried over quickly after Lu Zhaoying and had brought bento boxes filled with soup and dishes.

He placed them on the table and took out the dishes one by one. Noticing Qin Ran’s plastered arm out of the corner of his eye, his heart simply sank.

“Miss Qin, drink the soup first.” The temperature of the soup was just right, so Butler Cheng handed it to her.

Lin Siran sat beside Qin Ran’s bed, telling her all the gossip about the chauffeur excitedly.

Everyone had been extremely careful inside, including Lu Zhaoying. Nobody dared mention Qin Ran’s left hand.

They didn’t want to rub salt into her wound.

Qin Ran reached for the soup without any pain from her arm. There was no hint of sadness on her face and she just drank the soup slowly.

Sitting beside her, Lin Siran couldn’t go on about gossip anymore and burst out, “Ran Ran, just cry if you want to! Don’t suppress it.”

“Cry?” Qin Ran raised her head in surprise. “Why would I cry?”

“It’s okay if you can’t take the college entrance examination this year.” Lin Siran squeezed her hand. “I’ve thought about it. I might not be able to get into Beijing University this year, so I’ll repeat the year with you!”

Qiao Sheng scratched his head. He didn’t dare to say that he would also repeat the year with Qin Ran. His dad had always said that he was dissolute, so he might really break his legs if he said he wanted to repeat a year.

Butler Cheng took another stack of ribs out and comforted in a low voice. “Miss Qin, it’s okay if you can’t take the exam. I have already informed the Old Master…”

Everyone was speaking in comforting tones without any hint of great pity. They didn’t want to affect Qin Ran’s mentality.

“Wait…” Qin Ran finally found an opportunity to speak. She glanced at them with a puzzled expression. “Why can’t I take the college entrance examination?”
