Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 721 - Chapter 721 Chapter 721 The Heir is Qin Yuan

Chapter 721: Chapter 721: The Heir is Qin Yuan Chapter 721: Chapter 721: The Heir is Qin Yuan The burly man with a ferocious look, after asking if his name was Lu Shiran, dropped a line, “Come with us, we’re here to protect you.”

Lu Shiran: ??? Are you sure?

The next second, the burly man forcibly opened the car door and, ignoring his struggle, hoisted him up and threw him into the van.

He was about to go crazy, okay?

Being a full-grown man and yet being carried away was simply a great indignity.

Lu Shiran was certain these people were up to no good, so he kept looking for opportunities to escape.

He ran, they chased; when he couldn’t escape, he was carried back onto the car…

And then time was wasted.

Unexpectedly, they really were there to protect him and left after delivering him to the destination.

Lu Shiran was utterly baffled.

However, it was only after he arrived that he saw the news about the car accident on his phone.

Although it felt wrong to think so, he indeed felt lucky that he hadn’t taken that road, or the person in the car accident could have been him.

Zhou You heard Lu Shiran’s grievances and touched his nose awkwardly, feeling rather embarrassed, he said, “Young Master Lu, I am really sorry, they are used to being rough and scared you, didn’t they? I’ll make sure to discipline them properly later.”

Lu Shiran uttered an “ah,” finally realizing, “So, you really were here to protect me?”

“Yes.” Qiao Yun nodded, informing Lu Shiran, “I had them protect you. You’re not safe right now.”

She pursed her lips, whispering, “Didn’t mean to scare you.”

“I wasn’t scared.”

Lu Shiran changed his previous statement, indicating I wasn’t scared at all.

Though he believed there was no need for someone to protect him, he was still quite moved.

Now that he knew it was all a misunderstanding, Lu Shiran said to Zhou You, “There’s no need to discipline them. I’m also at fault, as I thought they were bad guys and scolded them. Please apologize to them for me.”

His subordinates had a tough time explaining several times that they weren’t bad people but bodyguards truly there for his protection.

Lu Shiran just wouldn’t believe it.

Lu Shiran’s voice wasn’t loud but not soft either, just enough for Qin Yuan to hear, whose fingers tensed slightly in a state of extreme anger.

So his plan had failed because Qiao Yun had arranged for people to protect Lu Shiran early on.

Was it a coincidence? Or had she guessed his actions all along?

It wasn’t until now that Qin Yuan realized he had underestimated Qiao Yun.

He had never guarded against Qiao Yun because, in his eyes, she was nothing more than a toy that would someday become his plaything.

Now this plaything had ignited a very strong sense of foreboding in his heart.

Seeing everyone had arrived, the second great uncle turned to the lawyer, “Now that everyone is here, can you announce the will?”

The lawyer hurriedly replied, “Of course.”

Under everyone’s gaze, the lawyer quickly opened the document and said to everyone, “According to the Family Head’s wishes, if he is incapacitated, the power of attorney will pass to Young Master Lu Shiran…”

As these words fell, Mrs. Qin’s complexion turned ugly in an instant, and she let out a shrill cry involuntarily, “What did you say? The power of attorney to him?”

Unsteady in the moment, the cup she placed beside her was knocked to the ground by her agitated rising motion.

The water from the cup soaked her expensive dress, but she didn’t even notice, her head buzzing, her body nearly unable to stand straight, her eyes bulging as if she could devour someone.

Not only Mrs. Qin was shocked.

Qin Yuan was also stunned for a moment.

The will was made before he had acted against his grandfather, but this will was now telling him that his grandfather had been wary of him all along, otherwise, he wouldn’t have designated Lu Shiran as the agent!

Qin Yuan took a deep breath to barely calm himself down, but his eyes were filled with a cold chill.

Heh… he had been careless.

The second great uncle was also quite surprised.

He had chosen to leave the Qin Family and live on his own, precisely to avoid the day when his naturally suspicious older brother might end his life.

Now, had his ungrateful older brother had a change of heart?

Otherwise, why would he hand over such a vast family business to a grandson he had only met recently?

This did not at all resemble his brother’s domineering personality.

Qiao Yun was the only one in the room whose face showed no surprise. She cradled her cup, sipping from it gently, bit by bit.

Her gaze, however, was filled with interest as she watched their expressions change one after another.

They all said they came to watch a show, so naturally, she was going to thoroughly enjoy it.

Madam Qin’s breathing hastened, not even bothering that the great-uncle was still present, she pointed at the lawyer and declared with certainty, “There must be something wrong with this will! I don’t believe that my father would appoint him as the executor, impossible! Has he gone mad? It’s ridiculous.”

Compared to a grandson who had been raised by his side from a young age, whom he had personally trained.

Her father had actually chosen this little bastard whom he had barely met a few times.

How could she accept this fact!

Jealousy crazily took root in Madam Qin’s heart, making her want to rush forward and strangle Lu Shiran to death!

The lawyer said, “Madam, this is indeed the Family Head’s wish.”

Madam Qin roared, “I don’t believe it!”

Lu Shiran was also mystified, “Neither do I.”

He did not think that the old Mr. Qin would be so kind-hearted.

Qiao Yun, after waiting a while and not hearing anything further from the lawyer, asked in an unhurried tone, “Is that it?”

“Oh, of course not…”

Reminded by Qiao Yun, the lawyer quickly announced, “The thing is, the Family Head has made another will.”

Hearing there was another will, Madam Qin urgently said, “Well, don’t just stand there, tell us.”

The lawyer hastily continued, “The other will of the Family Head states that if he is not in a capacity to manage the Qin Family matters, then the young master will be the primary beneficiary of his entire estate.”

“What the heck? The primary beneficiary??”

Lu Shiran was completely dumbfounded upon hearing the lawyer’s words.

An executor was one thing, but an heir? What the hell was that!

He didn’t want it!

Even though he had Qin Family blood in him, he had only met the old Mr. Qin a few times.

Without any emotional connection, how could he be designated as the primary beneficiary of the inheritance?

He assumed it was an error on the lawyer’s part, or else the old Mr. Qin had truly gone insane.

It was utterly preposterous; he wanted nothing of the Qin Family’s possessions, even if they were coveted by everyone else.

Nor did he want to be involved in the Qin Family’s power struggle vortex.

Lu Shiran found it ridiculous and amusing.

Qin Yuan’s expression could not be described as unsightly; it was incomparably so.

The move by the grandfather was indeed shrewd. If he did not want the Qin Family to fall into the hands of Lu Shiran, he could not harm the grandfather’s life.

Realizing something was amiss, the great-uncle asked the lawyer again, “The primary beneficiary? Then who is the secondary beneficiary?”

With that question, both Madam Qin and Qin Yuan were momentarily stunned.

Madam Qin frowned, “There’s a secondary beneficiary?”

The lawyer nodded, “Yes, indeed there is.”

He looked towards Qin Yuan and announced, “The secondary beneficiary is none other than Master Qin Yuan.”

Qin Yuan’s eyelids shot up, his eyes filled with disbelief and confusion.
