Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 733 - Chapter 733 Chapter 733 The Mysterious Man Appears Saving Qin

Chapter 733: Chapter 733: The Mysterious Man Appears, Saving Qin Yuan at All Costs Chapter 733: Chapter 733: The Mysterious Man Appears, Saving Qin Yuan at All Costs Great-uncle Su listened as the members of the Qin family discussed fervently how to exploit legal loopholes to rescue Old Master Qin. He couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, seriously wanting to take a stick and pry open their heads to see if they were filled with paste.

With Professor Qiao watching over them, if they truly managed to get the old man out, he would kneel before them.

Great-uncle Su really couldn’t bear to listen to their self-delusions anymore and sternly interrupted, “If you don’t want to die, do nothing at all.”

The members of the Qin family were startled and fell silent for a moment before starting to argue again in the video call.

“Great-uncle, what do you mean by that?”

“Could it be that there’s some secret behind the Family Head’s arrest?”

Great-uncle Su simply said, “I can only tell you not to meddle in this matter. If something goes wrong, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Upon hearing these words, the Qin family members were all surprised.

What kind of person was great-uncle Su? The fact that he would say something like that meant there was definitely more than meets the eye behind the Family Head’s arrest.

In the end, everyone once again reached a consensus: since the incident occurred in China, they were too far away to intervene effectively.

Great-uncle Su was pleased with their realization.

As soon as the meeting was over, great-uncle Su immediately sent a message to Lu Shiran, “My dear nephew, you can sleep soundly. Your great-uncle has already taken care of that foolish bunch from the Qin family.”

“By the way, remember to speak a few good words about great-uncle in front of Professor Qiao. I have an invitation to a banquet here; I wonder if Professor Qiao might be free?”

Lu Shiran: “…” Pretending not to see the message, he casually blacklisted great-uncle Qin.

Having waited a while without a reply from Lu Shiran, great-uncle Su decided to make a call, only to discover he had been blacklisted.

His nose almost went crooked with rage. He was a man of authority and had never been treated this way before.

If it wasn’t for Professor Qiao refusing to give him contact details, he wouldn’t have needed to be so eager to court Lu Shiran’s favor.

Wasn’t it hard for an old man to latch onto a powerful supporter?

…

In M country.

In the most expensive hotel in the city center, a banquet was going on, filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses.

Every attendee was either a tycoon with a net worth of over ten billion or a distinguished person with a prestigious family background.

An exceptionally handsome man stood on the balcony, holding a glass of red wine in his slender, pale fingers, listening calmly to the report from a subordinate behind him.

Once the subordinate finished reporting.

The man took a sip of wine, his lips curling into a half-smile, “It’s like they say, garbage remains garbage, failing even at such a simple task.”

The subordinate dared not say a word.

The man said lazily, “He knows too much.”

The subordinate immediately understood his master’s meaning.

Qin Yuan knew too much, and if he leaked anything, it could bring trouble to his master. The best course of action was to bring him back to M country.

Qin Yuan was not a Chinese national, so that could still be manipulated. Once in M country, guilt or innocence would be for them to decide.

The subordinate respectfully replied, “Yes.”

The man turned his face, revealing a smile that didn’t clearly express joy or anger, but those cold eyes were visible.

“Although Qin Yuan has brought quite some trouble to me, he has been a useful ally. If he can be helped, naturally we will help him.”

“Yes.” The subordinate immediately understood the implication.

Qin Yuan must be brought back to M country alive. Anyone who dared to interfere should expect no mercy from them.

…

After returning home, Lu Shiran informed his family of all the events.

After learning that Lu Shiran had become the heir to Old Master Qin’s business, and his intention to set up a youth science research support fund, the old master expressed his support.

This was something the Qin family owed them. If they could get it for free and use it for good deeds to accumulate virtue for Lu Shiran, why not?

Li Hanzhou made a call the very same day and quickly found a very reliable manager for Lu Shiran.

After learning about Lu Shiran’s intention to establish a support fund, the manager quickly drafted contracts, made overnight public statements, and even swiftly got in touch with the Qin family to discuss Old Master Qin’s asset distribution issues vehemently.

The swift actions made Lu Shiran doubt the thrill of inheriting billions in assets. Was he truly inheriting such a vast fortune?

…

The next day.

Since the Qin family’s matter was being followed up by Pei Ya and the Lu Family, Qiao Yun withdrew her concern, quite relieved, and went with her parents to the old mansion to visit her grandfather.

Lu Jingzhi had wanted to go to the old mansion as well, but due to the need to clarify things with the police, he was a bit tied up and had to give up the idea.

So, Lu Rui went to the old mansion with his wife, younger son, and daughter.

Upon entering, he sensed that the atmosphere at home was not quite right. He inquired about Lu Xian’s whereabouts, wondering why he wasn’t at home accompanying the elders, and then learned that Lu Xian had been called by the police to assist with the investigation.

Seeing them arrive, the old lady’s expression was still somewhat normal, and upon seeing Qiao Yun, her mood improved, a smile even appearing on her face, “What brings you here today?”

Lu Rui glanced around and asked the old lady, “Where’s Dad?”

The old lady instantly understood why they had come and gestured towards the garden, her voice tinged with helplessness, “There, in the garden facing the wall in contemplation.”

While speaking, she shook her head as if there was nothing she could do.

Lu Rui said with concern, “Dad’s alright, right?”

“He’s fine.” The old lady assured them not to worry, “With old age comes the fondness for idle thoughts. Just ignore him, he’ll be fine in a bit.”

“Go check it out,” Qiao Yun said and then headed for the garden.

Lu Rui lifted his foot to follow when Su Mian stopped him.

Su Mian smiled and shook her head, “It’s fine with Qiaoqiao there, the old man will be a bit happier to see Qiaoqiao.”

“You’re right,” though he said this, Lu Rui was still worried, afraid that the old man would overthink and make himself sick.

The old man was already seventy years old, and people of that age feared illness the most.

Lu Zhanxing yawned, his voice weary, “I’ll go play with Shiran.”

With that, he waved his hand and went upstairs to find Lu Shiran.

Once he learned of the heinous acts committed by the Qin Family, he filmed his own scenes overnight. After much complaining from Xie Ying, he finally managed to squeeze out a day off. He rushed back early in the morning and hadn’t slept since.

He had been filming for a day and a night, and now without sleep for another day, Lu Zhanxing felt light-headed. He pinched his temples to ease some of the fatigue.

He was so tired, Lu Shiran had better laugh a few times for him to see, or he would keep tickling Lu Shiran until he did.

…

The old man sat in a garden chair, sighing and looking utterly despondent.

He now knew the whole story, including what Old Man Qin did to his own sister, and that his nephew was killed by Old Man Qin’s wedded wife.

These truths, like sledgehammers, kept striking his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Tossing and turning all night, he couldn’t get a good rest.

He longed to tear that old immortal to pieces to quell the anger in his heart.

Qiao Yun paused as she walked into the garden.

Looking at the old man’s hunched figure and the desolation it conveyed, her heart felt inexplicably heavy, causing her extreme discomfort.

“What are you thinking about, Grandpa?”

Qiao Yun sat next to the old man, turned her head to look at him, and blinked her big eyes, an image of cuteness and sensibility.

Seeing his adorable granddaughter, the old man’s mood genuinely improved a bit. Not wanting to worry her, he vaguely said, “Nothing, Grandpa just didn’t sleep well and feels a bit tired.”

Qiao Yun didn’t speak, still staring intently at the old man, her eyes black and shiny, deep as wells.

The old man: “…”

It’s kind of scary.

The old man felt like breaking into a cold sweat under Qiao Yun’s stare, and he had no choice but to admit, “Alright, Grandpa really does feel quite upset.”

“Do you need to talk about it?” Qiao Yun quite enjoyed listening to others share their different stories with her, it was just a pity that people who were troubled never came to her.

In the distance, Pei Yao thought: Who would want to confide in you while under the pressure of being watched by the head teacher? That would be masochistic.

“Ah, she was my only blood sister…” The old man heaved a deep sigh, his eyes filled with a sadness Qiao Yun couldn’t understand.

He laughed bitterly, annoyed with himself, “When she fell out with the family in pursuit of a love of her choice, I shouldn’t have been so angry with her, telling her that if she left, she shouldn’t come back. Maybe her life would have been different.”

When he found out that his only sister disregarded their family’s opposition to be with some worthless man.

He was so angry. How could his cherished and adored younger sister choose a man who was nothing of note?

His rage led to a fight with Lu Wan, and then Lu Wan left to pursue her love.

When she returned, Lu Wan was pregnant. The girl who used to be cheerful and love to laugh started to laugh less.

Back then, he couldn’t swallow his pride and thought Lu Wan had dishonored the Lu Family, so he never asked how she had been over the years.

Would his sister have lived if he had just cared enough to ask?

Thinking this, the old man felt a tightness in his chest. Some words got stuck in his throat and he couldn’t speak them out, struggling to say, “Your aunt must have been very sad. Her own brother didn’t even have a word of comfort when she was hurt.”

Seeing the old man like this, Qiao Yun felt even more stifled in her heart.

After some thought, she hesitantly raised her little hand, placed it on the old man’s back, and patted it, her voice gentle, “Don’t be sad, Aunt didn’t blame you, otherwise she wouldn’t have come back.”

Qiao Yun’s thinking was simple: if Lu Wan had chosen to return after falling out with the Lu Family, it meant she knew that no matter what she had done, her family would always accept her back.

If she had any resentment or disappointment towards this home, she wouldn’t have returned.

Qiao Yun’s mind drifted slightly. Is this what home is like, no matter how far you fly, it’s always there waiting for you the moment you turn back?

She seemed to understand why Grandpa was so insistent on having her return to the Lu Family; he just wanted to give her a place to rest her feet.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, it’s Qiaoqiao…”

The old man looked at her tenderly, “You’ve been such a concern for our family again, your dad and your elder uncle are really useless, not as capable as you, it seems I need to have a serious talk with them.”
