Chapter 725: Chapter 725: An Unexpected Surprise that Even Qiao Yun Found Astonishing Chapter 725: Chapter 725: An Unexpected Surprise that Even Qiao Yun Found Astonishing The second great-uncle tried to test Lu Shiran and saw Lu Shiran jump up from his chair, indignantly retorting, “Who’s his brother! Tch, he’s not worthy!”

The second great-uncle: “…” Is that the point right now?

“I get it, you never considered us as family, that’s why you could coldheartedly plot against us. Indeed, as long as Ayuan is in trouble, no one would fight with you for power, right?”

Lady Qin realized it all at once.

Lu Shiran almost beat his chest and stomped his feet in frustration, his chest filled with smoldering anger.

How could this old hag not listen to reason, only insisting on her own perceptions?

So infuriating.

Seeing that Lu Shiran was about to explode with rage, Qiao Yun patted his hand soothingly, her tone inexplicably kind, “I’ll argue with her for you, don’t be mad.”

Lu Shiran looked at his cute and clever little sister.

Uh…

Could his little sister really out-argue someone?

It was really hard to imagine his little sister cursing someone out.

Qiao Yun didn’t curse people, she just stated the facts calmly, “You want to know why you were able to see Qin Xuan?”

The expressions on Lady Qin and Qin Yuan finally changed.

Qin Yuan’s gaze became even deeper and darker.

Lady Qin’s emotions were churning inside her, and she nearly blurted out, “How do you know I went to see Xuanxuan? Are you spying on me?”

Qiao Yun’s voice was clear and cool, “If I want you to see him, you will. If I don’t, you can’t.”

Lady Qin understood, her mouth opened slightly, her whole body rigid.

So all of this was Qiao Yun’s scheming.

She had walked into Qiao Yun’s trap without knowing it long before.

So her conversation with Qin Xuan at that time, Qiao Yun had heard it too?

That’s why Qiao Yun was so sure that Qin Yuan was involved in the kidnapping of Lu Shiran.

Lady Qin didn’t even have the time to think about how Qiao Yun had managed to make it possible for her to meet with Qin Xuan smoothly and without obstacles.

She calmed down a bit and responded very quickly, “What of it? Just because of Xuanxuan’s words, you want to pin the crime on Ayuan. Hah, laughable.”

Qiao Yun ignored Lady Qin, her indifferent gaze turning to Qin Yuan who had kept silent all along, his expression unchanging as he watched them. She parted her lips slightly, uttering a few words.

“G*M Research Institute.”

Qin Yuan’s expression faltered for a moment, his pupils constricting, his eyes full of shock.

“G*M Research Institute, what’s that?” Lu Shiran asked, confused and tilting his head.

The second great-uncle’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment, knowing well what that institute was for–a drug trafficking organization that was doing big business, which later tried to drag Li Hanzhou into the mud, but was taken down by Li Hanzhou.

But why was Qiao Yun bringing this up?

In front of a grim-faced Qin Yuan, Qiao Yun simply and clearly told them, “The G*M Research Institute specializes in drug research, and the drug injected into my brother came from them.”

The second great-uncle inhaled sharply.

Drugs from G*M appearing in Shangjing City, the answer was self-evident.

Qiao Yun indeed provided the answer, “He might be an investor.”

“I’ll say it again, do you have evidence?”

Qin Yuan finally spoke, his expression still calm despite the circumstances, but his palms were already sweating coldly.

He realized the situation was beyond his control.

According to his plan, the will announcement ceremony was never going to succeed.

Because Lu Shiran would have had a car accident on the way, and from then on, there would be no Lu Shiran in this world to stand in his way.

But then Qiao Yun appeared, disrupting all his plans and investigating the matter to this extent.

Or perhaps deeper…

Qiao Yun was definitely not just the adopted daughter of the Qiao Family, nor merely the young miss of the Lu Family.

Qin Yuan scoffed coldly in his heart, it seemed he had ruffled the feathers of a not-so-simple woman.

Qiao Yun wondered, “Without evidence, why would I accuse you?”

Qin Yuan’s expression remained cold and he did not speak.

Mrs. Qin’s heart clenched into a knot, and she laughed mockingly, “Then bring it out, anyone can make claims, I could even say you want to kill me.”

Qiao Yun nodded her head and said to Qin Yuan, “You’re very cunning, you destroyed the investment list and escaped disaster.”

Otherwise, when the G*M Research Institute was raided, Qin Yuan should have been arrested, and he wouldn’t have been able to roam free for so many years.

The corners of Qin Yuan’s mouth curled up slightly, “So, you don’t have any evidence, do you?”

“Oh…” Qiao Yun said indifferently, “Not exactly, because I got hold of the institute’s core system, although it was destroyed, restoring it is a trivial matter.”

Her great-uncle heard this and nodded proudly.

Indeed, Tianqi Research Institute’s technology was the most advanced and cutting-edge in the world.

It was rumored that they had even developed a hovering car, but that surely was fake.

Such things that only appeared in movies were impossible to create with the current level of technology.

The arc of Qin Yuan’s smile fell slightly, and his breathing became a bit unsteady.

“And I’ve already got it,” Qiao Yun said, taking out her phone in the face of Qin Yuan’s sharp gaze, opening the list that Pei Ya had just sent her.

After opening it, she glanced at the list of investors for the G*M Research Institute.

The next second, her gaze froze, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Then, understanding dawned on her; was this what Pei Ya had meant by saying it would be somewhat beyond her expectations?

This wasn’t just somewhat, it was enough to make her feel taken aback.

Seeing that his sister had stopped speaking, Lu Shiran leaned his head over to take a look, but after a full scan, he didn’t see an investor named Qin Yuan.

The only investor with the surname Qin was called…

He pointed at the person’s name and asked in confusion, “Who is Qin Yue?”

Mrs. Qin’s heart tightened, and her expression changed drastically.

The great-uncle was also slightly taken aback, “Qin Yue is Qin Yuan’s mother.”

Lu Shiran turned to Mrs. Qin and then asked Qiao Yun, “Sister, what’s going on here? Could she be the actual investor?”

“Ask him,” Qiao Yun turned off the phone and looked at Qin Yuan.

No wonder he wasn’t at all scared; it turned out he’d been preparing for his exoneration for years.

Qiao Yun was not at all flustered; she just couldn’t understand how someone could be so ruthless as to treat all their relatives as tools.

It was one thing for Old Master Qin and Qin Xuan, but Mrs. Qin was his own birth mother.

How could he bring himself to do it?

Human nature, truly complex.

Qiao Yun was momentarily bewildered.

Though humans lacked combat ability, they were still more terrifying than robots.

Qin Yuan seemed to react as if for the first time, his expression weighed down, “Mom, did you do it?”

Mrs. Qin was like one struck by lightning, her body shaking, the words she uttered even contained pain, “You’re saying I did it?”

“Who else could it be?” Qin Yuan’s voice was bitter, “You are an investor in the G*M Research Institute, their drugs almost harmed my cousin, who else present could get their hands on such drugs but you?”

Although Qiao Yun’s arrival made the situation spiral out of control, everything was still within his grasp.

His great-uncle was still here; he could not be convicted.
