Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered - Chapter 469
Chapter 469: Continent M Large-Scale Power, Return to Beijing
“Great God Giant Crocodile probably has an answer.” Cheng Wenru clicked on the message and read it.
Hearing this, Cheng Huo immediately turned over and gritted his teeth. “Giant Crocodile?”
On the other hand, Cheng Shui had nothing to do with Giant Crocodile and was quite calm without overthinking it.
But he still paused slightly at the mention of “Giant Crocodile”…
As the chief butler of the manor, most of the manor news had to pass through him, so he naturally knew Huo’er’s news of Giant Crocodile…
He also knew about Matthew.
His confusion now turned to bewilderment.
Giant Crocodile just arrived at Continent M, while Qin Ran was going to meet her friend?
As far as he knew, she didn’t have any friends in Continent M. Lu Zhixin and Gu Xichi were both in Beijing…
It was reasonable to say that Matthew might make a move on Giant Crocodile today…
Most importantly, Cheng Wenru said that Qin Ran contributed to letting Giant Crocodile accept her order…
His eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly turned to Cheng Wenru. “Eldest Lady, could you tell me about the situation in Matthew’s building today?”
Putting down her cup, Cheng Wenru went over the cause and effect of the incident.
Cheng Shui learned that after interrogating Qin Ran and realizing that he had caught the wrong person, Matthew had immediately released them…
As Cheng Wenru described, Matthew’s men later apologized to them and were very polite.
Who the hell was Matthew? With so many forces in Continent M, Matthew and his men weren’t ordinary people to do their job as an Interpol policeman with ease here.
Glancing upstairs, Cheng Shui formulated some guesses in his heart.
“Huh?!” Cheng Wenru was looking down at her phone and was shocked upon seeing a message from 129’s app. She immediately said in surprise, “First Hall Master and the others are coming back tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow?” Cheng Juan came downstairs without looking surprised. He just faintly glanced at her. “Then, I’ll go back the day after seeing the First Hall Master.”
He didn’t seem the slightest bit surprised.
Cheng Wenru was still staring at her phone in shock and was out of it. After hearing Old Master Cheng’s description, she originally thought there would be a bloody storm in Continent M this time, but who knew that not only did nothing happen, but the First Hall Master and Second Hall Master were even coming back.
Cheng Wenru didn’t even manage to see Giant Crocodile in person.
“You’re going back?” She turned to Cheng Juan.
“Yeah.” Cheng Juan lazily walked over to the table and slowly poured himself a glass of water. “I’ll let Cheng Shui buy the tickets.”
Cheng Wenru didn’t have any opinions. “Then, the First Hall Master and Second Hall Master…”
Taking a sip from the cup, Cheng Juan looked up and blankly glanced at her. “You still have to teach them how to do business? Don’t worry. After this incident, they’ll naturally understand the rules in Continent M.”
He refilled the cup with water and headed upstairs again.
Staring at his back, Cheng Wenru felt slightly puzzled. Cheng Juan seemed a little strange. He wasn’t surprised and even seemed a little indifferent…
While pondering over this, she went upstairs to take a bath.
Cheng Shui looked away and turned to Cheng Mu and Cheng Huo. “Did Miss Qin stay in Continent M previously? I feel like she’s familiar with the terrain here.”
Cheng Mu didn’t answer and just lowered his head.
Cheng Huo shook his head and said confidently, “No, if that was the case, I would have heard of her.”
“Really…” Cheng Shui stood pondering at the side and trailed off.
He just went out with his keys to settle the First Hall Master and Second Hall Master’s matter tomorrow.
**
At noon the next day, First Hall Master and Second Hall Master were released.
Cheng Wenru went to meet them. In front of Matthew’s building, they didn’t say much.
Cheng Wenru couldn’t say much about Continent M and knew much less than the other hall masters.
She only briefly understood the news and got into Cheng Mu’s car.
Cheng Mu was still driving his usual black car with a black flag inserted in the rearview mirror.
The hall masters watched as Cheng Wenru left.
Once the car disappeared, they heaved a sigh of relief. “I can’t believe we’re out…”
“Find a place to rest and don’t act impulsively in the future.”
“…”
One of the butlers with a good memory stared at the car and hesitantly said, “First Hall Master, Second Hall Master, don’t you think that the flag on Cheng Mu’s car seemed a little familiar?”
“Flag?” First Hall Master was a little carefree. “What flag?”
Second Hall Master’s expression was stern. “I remember that some forces in Continent M have flags on their cars. Describe it, what kind of flag was it?”
The black flag was small and inconspicuous.
Nobody else except this butler had seen it.
The butler squinted. “It was black… I think there was a red mark…”
“You must have seen wrongly.” First Hall Master waved his hand dismissively.
But the butler still noted this down.
They came out this time mainly to explore and collect information. As long as they didn’t cause trouble from now on, their personal safety was at least guaranteed.
Nothing big would happen with Cheng Shui secretly watching over them.
The next day, at 10 am, Cheng Wenru, Cheng Juan, Qin Ran, and Cheng Mu flew back to Beijing.
At Beijing’s airport.
Qin Ran wore a black down jacket with a red pattern on the cuffs, prepared for her by Cheng Shui.
When she got off the plane, she buttoned the hoodie over her head and lowered her head, revealing only her delicate chin.
Cheng Juan walked behind her, casually pulling a black suitcase.
Qin Ran took out her phone to call Qin Hanqiu.
“I was worried you wouldn’t be back for the New Year…” Qin Hanqiu was elated and was very talkative. But, at the end, he was a little hesitant.
Qin Ran reached out to pull the brim of her hoodie. “Go on.”
“Erm… your Uncle wants to meet you and Xiao Ling. Do you want to see him?”
