Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 754 - Chapter 754 Chapter 754 Nothing serious should happen right

Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Nothing serious should happen, right? Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Nothing serious should happen, right? At the thought, he felt somewhat relieved. Catching up to Professor Qiao didn’t matter if he could secure the support of her family.

…

Meanwhile,

Qiao Yun walked to the corridor to answer a phone call.

“What’s the matter?”

Pei Ya’s voice was somewhat heavy, “I’ve just received significant news!”

“What?”

On the other side of the line, Pei Ya took a deep breath and said, “M country has requested to have Qin Yuan extradited back to M country, even mobilizing their Foreign Ministry to discuss the issue. This matter isn’t just about crime anymore, it has escalated to a national level.”

Qiao Yun’s lowered eyelids lifted, her gaze slightly cold, “The reason.”

“As you know, Qin Yuan is an investor at the G*M Research Institute, and G*M was involved in a crime busted in M country. Now, M country wants him on the grounds that he is an international fugitive.”

The incident with G*M had occurred several years ago, and in a strict sense, Qin Yuan could indeed be considered a fugitive.

Pei Ya spoke earnestly, “The reason they’ve given is quite substantial. If they take a firm stance, it’s tough for us to say much. However, it really wouldn’t matter much where Qin Yuan is held, since his crime is a fact. But one thing is strange, how did this reach government officials?”

Qiao Yun remembered how confident Qin Yuan was at the time, and what Li Hanzhou had told her about Qin Yuan not being afraid, possibly because he had backers. And now, with the government stepping in.

She immediately understood, her voice turning cold, “Someone is helping him.”

Pei Ya’s thoughts matched Qiao Yun’s. Upon learning about this, his first thought was that someone was backing Qin Yuan.

Someone who had been financially supporting Qin Yuan, otherwise, how could Qin Yuan carry out so many deeds under Mr. Qin’s watchful eyes without being detected?

Mr. Qin’s success in expanding and strengthening the Qin Family proved he was no fool.

This time, however, he was thwarted by Professor Qiao.

Pei Ya understood, “So, if Qin Yuan is really taken back to M country, the outcome might differ from what we expect?”

If the person behind Qin Yuan wants to save him, he would likely find a scapegoat to take Qin Yuan’s place.

The situation in M country is different from here; it is much easier to manipulate.

Qiao Yun nodded, “Possibly.”

“Then they must not succeed!”

“They must not.” Qiao Yun was adamant, “The person I caught, I won’t hand over to anyone!”

“I understand.”

Pei Ya declared that such trivial matters should be left to him.

If it weren’t for Professor Qiao’s intervention, the opposition could have succeeded.

Unfortunately for the Qin Family, they had antagonized Professor Qiao.

Thinking they could act with impunity under her watch was nothing but a dream.

Those eager to work for Professor Qiao were more numerous than the opposition could imagine.

They probably didn’t anticipate that Qin Yuan’s case wasn’t so simple, otherwise, they would have tried a different approach.

“By the way, I found out who was following you earlier; they are all bodyguards under Mr. Li’s command.”

Pei Ya found it strange, “Why would Mr. Li’s bodyguards be following you?”

Qiao Yun explained, “They were not following me; they were protecting Grandpa Li.”

“You’re with Mr. Li now?”

“Yes.”

Pei Ya was taken aback, then alarmed, “Are you meeting his parents now? Isn’t it too soon? Boss, let me remind you, although you aren’t really a high school student, you are still studying. How could you meet the parents so soon? Is the next step an engagement, then marriage?”

At this, Pei Ya’s voice rose, incredibly excited as he exclaimed, “No! I won’t allow it!”

Listening to Pei Ya’s howling, Qiao Yun only said, “You’re so noisy.”

Then she coldly and mercilessly hung up the phone.

Pei Ya looked at the phone, crying and thinking: It’s over, Professor Qiao is really going to find him a stepdad.

Feeling his soul was hurt, he desperately needed someone to comfort him, and without thinking, he called Han Wang at the Tianqi Research Institute.

“My soul is severely hurt, hurry and comfort me.”

“Scram.” The woman’s voice was as cold as ever.

Pei Ya: “… Xiaowang, you’re too heartless, don’t you know how hard I’ve worked for our family’s happiness?”

“Huh, you’re wasting my time just to say these irrelevant things?”

“Brother is really too heartbroken.” Pei Ya, with a gloomy face, said, “I’m trying hard here not to let Professor Qiao find us a stepdad, and you…”

“What stepdad?”

Pei Ya’s breath hitched as he realized he might have accidentally let something slip.

“You better explain clearly, what did Professor Qiao find?” Han Wang’s voice was colder than the Arctic.

“It’s nothing, I was just joking, I have work now so I’m going to hang up first.”

Pei Ya didn’t wait for the person on the other end to say anything, he quickly hung up the phone and then hurriedly turned off his mobile phone.

After doing all this, he exhaled a breath.

Uh… Hopefully, it won’t cause any big trouble?

At the Tianqi Research Institute, Han Wang was suddenly cut off and after being stunned for a moment, she called back only to receive a reminder that the other party had turned off their phone.

Her cold eyes stared at the mobile phone, her body radiating an icy chill.

Pei Ya, you’re finished!

…

Qiao Yun returned to the private room, and because she was lost in thought, she didn’t notice that the atmosphere in the room was a bit off.

Li Hanzhou glanced at her, paused, and beckoned to Qiao Yun, “Come here.”

Qiao Yun, dazed, nodded and sat next to Li Hanzhou.

Li Hanzhou lifted his hand and lightly brushed the broken hair from her forehead, softly asking, “What happened?”

Qiao Yun raised her pale little face to look at him, slightly surprised that Li Hanzhou could read her emotions; she glanced at old Master Li.

He wasn’t a stranger, so there was no need for restraint.

In a low voice, she said, “It’s about Qin Yuan…”

Qiao Yun repeated to Li Hanzhou what Pei Ya had told her.

Before Li Hanzhou could say anything, old Master Li, as if seeing through everything, said, “Someone must be trying to blackmail him.”

Qiao Yun looked up at old Master Li and started discussing with him, “I was thinking the same.”

“I’ve met that Qin Family boy, a rather genteel person; I never expected him to be so cruel.” Old Master Li deeply felt that appearances are deceiving, just like he hadn’t recognized Qiao Yun as Professor Qiao at first, and had told him all those faults of his grandson.

Old Master Li coughed awkwardly, “It turns out there is someone behind him.”

Qiao Yun agreed with this statement, and continued nodding.

Li Hanzhou, propping his head with one hand, watched as they conversed back and forth.

He raised an eyebrow, his distinct fingers gently pinching Qiao Yun’s chin, and with a slight force, he turned her gaze from the old man back to himself.

Qiao Yun didn’t struggle, blinked, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Hanzhou released his fingers, rubbed them slightly, and lightly smiled, “Nothing, I just want to look at you.”

Old Master Li: “…” What even is this meal, might as well be served dog food.
