Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Having cooperated with Cheng Juan, the heavy-duty base knew that 129’s firewall was designed by Qin Ran. They had spent a lot of money to ask her to redesign the system for them.
Although many people attacked their firewall on a daily basis, they could now basically sit back and relax without worrying about the system’s protected files.
Thus, when signs of the classified documents being touched appeared, they had indeed been taken aback.
Along the way, the captain had gradually reacted to the situation, and after seeing Qin Ran inside, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Ran put down her phone and looked up at the captain.
Before she said anything, the captain introduced himself. “I’m the captain of the heavy-duty base. I used to be Master Juan’s subordinate, and was also there when you signed the agreement with the bureau chief.”
However, there had been too many big bosses in the scene then, and the captain had been unremarkable. Hence, he knew that Qin Ran might not have noticed him then.
Qin Ran nodded without telling him that she remembered him. “Okay, you can take care of it.”
“Then, your computer…” the captain replied respectfully.
Getting up from the chair, Qin Ran squeezed her wrists and looked up slightly. “Bring it back. The evidence is all inside.”
The captain looked at her, a little hesitant. Qin Ran’s computer… He didn’t dare to use it.
“It’s okay.” Qin Ran came over and patted the captain in the shoulder, smiling. “Go, you have to deal with it first. I have other things to handle here.”
Upon hearing this, the captain didn’t dare to disturb her business affairs and quickly returned to deal with Old Chen’s affairs.
When the two were speaking, no one except Pan Mingyue dared to speak.
It wasn’t until the captain left that Sister Liu swallowed her saliva. She finally recognized Qin Ran’s face a little now. Perhaps her real life was too attractive, but she didn’t dare to recognize her.
“Ming-Mingyue…” Sister Liu stumbled over her words. “Your friend…”
“Yeah?” Pan Mingyue also returned to her senses and glanced at her. “Which is better, Wei Dexuan’s braised meat or Ju Shantang’s?”

Sister Liu: “…? Ju Shantang?”

“Thanks.” Pan Mingyue politely thanked her and turned back to Qin Ran. “Ran Ran, let’s go Ju Shantang.”
Qin Ran didn’t know about these restaurants, so she casually agreed to Pan Mingyue’s suggestion. She tapped her phone with one hand and waited for Pan Mingyue to come out.
When Pan Mingyue walked to her, she glanced at Section Chief Jiang and the others. “Shall we go together?”
Her tone was very polite, but inexplicably, even Section Chief Jiang didn’t dare to reject her.
The group exchanged glances and then all followed her. Among them, Luo Qian’s expression was the stiffest.
Qin Ran first went out and prepared to call Cheng Juan, telling him that she was having lunch with Pan Mingyue.
Section Chief Jiang and the others remained in the detention center at the back. When they left, the head of the detention center staggered over as soon as he heard the news.
According to their positions, the head of the detention center was two levels higher than Section Chief Jiang. However, when he saw Section Chief Jiang at this time, he bowed respectfully with clasped hands. “Section Chief Jiang, my subordinates were insensitive and arrested you by mistake. I’ll definitely investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory explanation…”
He was trembling a little, and fine sweat broke on his forehead.
Section Chief Jiang and Sister Liu weren’t people who had never seen the market before, but this situation wasn’t what they expected at all. At this time, they only turned to look at Pan Mingyue, who was a few steps away.
Upon seeing her, the detention head was stunned, and then quickly greeted her. “Miss Pan, it turns out to be you. This matter…”
“I know.” Pan Mingyue knew the detention head as he had cooperated with Hao Dui before. “This matter has been taken over by the heavy-duty prison base. We won’t interfere anymore.”
She kindly didn’t mention Qin Ran, for fear that the detention head would be scared to tears.
Upon hearing this, the detention head nodded. “Then, I’ll go and find the captain.”
After he left, Pan Mingyue turned back to Section Chief Jiang and the others, smiling. “Let’s go.”
“Did you see the epaulets on the captain just now?” Sister Liu walked beside Luo Qian and asked stiffly.
Luo Qian was calmer than her and nodded casually. “I did. I think he’s about the same level as Inspector He.”
Seeing how calm he was, Sister Liu glanced at him and said quietly, “Aren’t you curious? Aren’t you shocked?”
They didn’t see He Jinxin much in the Inspection Institute, and it was even harder for them to see people from the heavy-duty base of the same level as her.
However, Sister Liu and the others weren’t shocked about seeing the captain. Instead… They were shocked by the captain’s attitude towards Qin Ran.
“It’s nothing to be shocked about.” Luo Qian silently glanced at her. “Once you know who Mingyue’s friends are, you’ll think everything is normal.”
Section Chief Jiang and Sister Liu did find Qin Ran very familiar. After all, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan had been famous in Beijing for so long, so most powerful people had already received their simple information. Although Qin Ran’s trump card remained hidden, checking on basic information like her appearance was still possible…
There was still a difference between her real person and her photos, especially since Qin Ran barely showed her entire face. Section Chief Jiang and Sister Liu had only occasionally seen pictures of her, but after such a long time and the fact that Qin Ran wasn’t in the same industry, their memories were already blurry.
But upon hearing Luo Qian’s words, Sister Liu asked quietly, “She’s really…”
“I’m definite and certain.” Luo Qian glanced at her. “There’s no one in the circle of Beijing who doesn’t recognize her face.”

After all, everyone had received a warning from Cheng Juan in private.
Section Chief Jiang let out a sigh of relief, not knowing how to think of Pan Mingyue now.
The group went to Ju Shantang for lunch. During the meal, even the talkative Luo Qian also bowed his head to eat silently.
After lunch, Section Chief Jiang and the others stood at the door and took a taxi back.
Qin Ran followed Pan Mingyue, buttoning the hat on her head, waiting for Shi Liming’s car to come.
“You’re planning to work in the Inspection Institute in the future without taking a part-time job?” Qin Ran stuck her hands in her pocket and glanced at her.
Pan Mingyue pursed her lips and seemed to smile. “129?”
“No, don’t help Boss Chang clean up the mess.” Qin Ran tilted her head indifferently. “I mean photography. Are you interested in learning from Sister Chen?”
Before Pan Mingyue could answer, she received a call from the detention center. It was the detention head. “Miss Pan, your phone is still in the detention center. I heard from my subordinate that Aunt Feng called you just now…”
Just after she finished the call with the detention head, she heard a voice from not far away. “Mingyue? Weren’t you in the police station just now?”
The voice was a little sharp.
Pan Mingyue glanced at the sound source and saw Madam Feng and Li Shuangning.
“Screech—”
Shi Liming’s car stopped at the hotel entrance, and he got out of the car to open the back door.
Without even looking at Madam Feng, Qin Ran raised her chin and gestured for Pan Mingyue to get into the car.
Madam Feng and Li Shuangning stood rooted to the spot, watching as Pan Mingyue got into the black car. Madam Feng knew many people who had that sort of car, which wasn’t a luxury car, but…
The license plate number belonged to the military. As a member of the circle, Madam Feng could forcibly recognize the license plate number that started with a little red number.
Pan Mingyue knew people from the military?
Shocked, she watched as the car left, and then turned thoughtfully to Li Shuangning. She also realized that Li Shuangning was rooted to the spot in shock. “Shuangning, do you know the person just now?”
Li Shuangning returned to her senses and quickly said, “No, I was just wondering how she managed to get out of the police station.”
Madam Feng was still thinking about Pan Mingyue and didn’t notice anything wrong with Li Shuangning’s reaction.
When the two entered the hotel together, Li Shuangning looked back again.
Having fought with Qin Ran twice and having her two careers fail because of her, Li Shuangning naturally remembered her and could recognize her even if her face wasn’t exposed.

She never imagined that Qin Ran would have a good relationship with Pan Mingyue…
She also knew that Madam Feng only liked her because she was suitable for her son in terms of status and in all other aspects. She knew that Madam Feng looked down upon Pan Mingyue’s birth, but if she found out that Pan Mingyue knew Qin Ran…
Li Shuangning clenched her fists and didn’t tell Madam Feng about Qin Ran.
But the bottom of her heart began to struggle.
…
In the car.
Pan Mingyue stared at Qin Ran in surprise. “Film Emperor Qin is getting married?”
“Butler Qin just notified me. It’ll be next month.” Qin Ran also had a headache at the thought of He Chen, who was too casual with family matters and had yet to bring them to meet her family. The wedding was even arranged by Butler Qin alone.
“I can’t believe such a day is coming.” Pan Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled. “Film Emperor Qin’s fans finally have their wish come true.”
Qin Ran also leaned back, thinking about how she never expected Sister Chen to become her aunt.
Cheng Juan had also complained to her about her seniority more than once or twice.
He was obviously of father-level status but had to call other people brother or elder no matter where he went. In particular, he had seriously talked to her about Tang Jun.
Who could have imagined that his friend despite the age difference, Tang Jun, would become his uncle at rocket-like speed within a year, and was now twice his seniority?

Qin Ran brought Pan Mingyue to the Qin family’s house. She still had to go to the Qin family’s house to discuss about He Chen, mainly because they wanted to see her parents.
As for Pan Mingyue, Qin Ran asked her to do the photography for Qin Xiuchen’s wedding.
Qin Xiuchen, Qin Hanqiu, and the others were all sitting inside. After politely greeting each of them, Pan Mingyue sat quietly while listening to them discuss about He Chen and Qin Xiuchen.
Butler Qin had already arranged the big and small matters, so Qin Xiuchen only had to personally handle a few things by himself.
For example, finally meeting her parents.
“We’re going to the He family’s house tomorrow?” Standing aside, Butler Qin listened to their discussion and couldn’t help but pause. “You’re going together? All of you?”
Qin Ran glanced at him and hesitated. “… Isn’t it more sincere like that?”
They had heard that because of He Chen’s previous failed marriage, the He family attached great importance to her next marriage.
They had to give face.
Kenneth, who was drinking tea with Qin Hanqiu, said, “I promised Cheng Juan to adorn He Chen with more pride. Brother Qin, is that the proper way to say it?”
Qin Hanqiu nodded. “Yes, that’s right. You’re making rapid progress.”
Butler Qin was speechless.
Were they all crazy?

Were they trying to scare the family to death?
