Chapter 246: Underground Alliance, Hidden Deeply

Cheng Shui had only heard from Cheng Huo that this person’s surname was Yang.

But he didn’t expect him to be Yang Shuyan.

Bowing slightly and maintaining a respectful stance, his eyes drooped down to cover his expression.

Yang Shuyan just glanced silently at him, smiling.

“After this, I’m going back to Beijing. If you get into trouble, come and find me. Don’t do things impulsively.” Sighing softly, he reached out and caressed Qin Ran’s head.

Cheng Shui, who had yet to react from the previous breaking news, was shocked further by Mr. Yang’s actions.

What the f*ck… how dare you to touch the big boss’s head?!

He was indeed fearless.

Cheng Shui regained his composure.

He pinched his phone and walked behind them, staring at their backs.

His lips were pursed tightly and his attention was on Yang Shuyan along the way.

These two people indeed looked close. Cheng Shui couldn’t help but frown in worry for Cheng Juan.

Yang Shuyan didn’t intend on staying in the manor. After exchanging a few words, Qin Ran sent him all the way to the gate.

Since this was Qin Ran’s friend, Cheng Shui didn’t say much.

He stayed two steps behind Qin Ran and respectfully sent Mr. Yang to the gate. At the gate, he especially turned to look at Mr. Yang’s car.

It was a sapphire blue car.

The model was sleek and clean.

But he didn’t see the slightest bit of a symbol or other patterns on the car.

There wasn’t a flag either.

Withdrawing his gaze from the car calmly, he saw that Yang Shuyan had paused with his car keys in his hand.

He really looked like a celestial being, but his face was cold and icy. He stared at Cheng Shui and asked in a clear voice, “Have you seen me before?”

“No.” Cheng Shui smiled gracefully, not revealing his cloven foot.

Yang Shuyan retracted his gaze and asked no further. He whispered a few words to Qin Ran again before opening his car door.

Once the car drove away, Cheng Shui turned to look at Qin Ran.

He regarded her a lot more solemnly.

“Miss Qin, you’ve probably known that friend for many years, right? Are you very close?” He stepped forward and asked seriously.

Qin Ran was wearing a down jacket with her hand in her pocket.

Hearing this, she raised an eyebrow and patiently answered, “About ten years? Or maybe longer? He’s the heir of the Yunguang Consortium.”

“Yunguang Consortium?” Cheng Shui frowned.

He didn’t know what else to say.

Qin Ran continued walking to the training ground. “Why, who else could he be?”

“No, nothing.” Cheng Shui shook his head and paused. He didn’t remind Qin Ran to watch out for this person and simply asked, “Miss Qin, do you know the situation of Continent M?”

They were reaching the training ground.

Qin Ran stared at the silhouettes on the training ground with dark eyes and said casually, “I don’t mix with Continent M, how would I know?”

She sounded empty and distant.

No emotions could be detected.

The two of them entered the big training ground and a few people at the gambling table beckoned towards Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, Miss Qin, over here!”

Qin Ran glanced at Cheng Shui. She originally wanted to ask for a cigarette, but she kept quiet after thinking for a while.

She took out a lollipop from her pocket.

Tearing it open, she lazily waved to the group of people. “I’m coming.”

She turned to greet Cheng Shui before going over to host the game.

Seeing that she had returned to play, Cheng Shui swallowed back his words of explanation.

He went back to report to Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan hadn’t replied after finding out that Cheng Shui didn’t enter the study.

Cheng Shui glanced at Cheng Juan, who was looking at the ring attentively. Then, he walked in front to announce the results.

“Boss, Miss Qin’s friend has left.” He bowed respectfully.

Cheng Juan nodded, seemingly unconcerned. His eyes were still fixated on the ring.

He even held a white porcelain cup of tea in his hand.

Glancing at him, Cheng Shui continued, “That Mr. Yang is about 25 or 26 years old. He’s slightly older than you, but he has known Miss Qin for more than ten years.”

Cheng Juan’s hand paused.

Cheng Shui added, “They’re very close. That Mr. Yang even caressed Miss Qin’s head.”

After speaking, Cheng Shui glanced down at the cup in Cheng Juan’s hand.

There were a few extra cracks on it.

Turning, he instructed a servant, “Go and get a new cup for Boss.”

The servant took Cheng Juan’s cup and left.

After the servant left.

Cheng Shui turned serious and lowered his voice. “Boss, that Mr. Yang is Yang Shuyan.”

Hearing this, Cheng Juan’s eyebrows knitted together in a frown and his eyes turned cold. “Yang Shuyan?”

“But… I don’t think Miss Qin knows yet. I also only found out that Yang Shuyan is still the heir of the Yunguang Consortium. Miss Qin is probably the inner core figure. Then it seems that the poppy flower mark on Xiao Hei isn’t so difficult to understand anymore since Yang Shuyan is from the Yunguang Consortium.” Cheng Shui shook his head.

Yunguang Consortium only dealt with business domestically and almost had no business with Continent M.

Indeed, n.o.body would connect Yunguang Consortium to Continent M.

“There are too many uncertainties surrounding that Yang Shuyan, and he’s also very evil. I heard from Cheng Tu that the Mas family doesn’t dare to offend him easily either. I’m a little worried about Miss Qin’s safety. She seems especially trusting of Yang Shuyan.” Cheng Shui glanced at the ring. It was s.h.i.+ Liming’s turn to compete.

s.h.i.+ Liming himself was also surprised to draw a tie with Luo Dui.

The servant handed Cheng Juan the new cup of tea.

Cheng Shui coughed. “But of course, with you around, Boss, even ten Yang Shuyans are of no worry!”

He pursed his lips again. “Boss, do you want to…”

Cheng Juan smiled. “Notify Cheng Tu.”

The year-end a.s.sessment was finally over.

The first day had been focused on Qin Ran.

The second day had been focused on the gambling den.

On the third day, the focus had been on Cheng Mu and s.h.i.+ Liming. Even Luo Dui, who had managed to ride on Qin Ran’s coattails, had also been heavily discussed.

Luo Dui originally scored around 860, but now, his score had risen to 888. He directly challenged Cheng Huo and even drew a tie with him.

s.h.i.+ Liming had challenged him next and had risen to the challenge.

Except for a few hall leaders and s.h.i.+ Liming, everyone else in the manor were strangers to Cheng Mu.

s.h.i.+ Liming had just entered from the previous a.s.sessment. He originally wanted to enter the law enforcement hall, but because of his low strength, had been awarded the procurement hall instead.

He had just scored around 810.

But after just one month, he could even tie with Cheng Huo and the others?!

Who didn’t know that Luo Dui and s.h.i.+ Liming’s improvements were thanks to Qin Ran?

During dinner time at the hall, everyone’s eyes fell on Leader Du, the pig-head who had been the first to reject Qin Ran.

Leader Du held his chopsticks and was speechless.

After the a.s.sessment came the question of personnel allocation as well as the New Year.

Although it had been lively in the previous years, they had simply kept to the working routine. This year, however, Cheng Shui’s spirits were much higher.

But before this, Cheng Huo had asked Cheng Mu and Cheng Shui to stay behind.

Cheng Mu was a little afraid that Cheng Shui and Cheng Huo would team up against him, so he stood in front of Cheng Shui’s table and didn’t dare to move. “It’s not that I willingly became better than you two…”

Cheng Shui actually wanted to talk about serious business with him, but after hearing this, he cheekily reached out to hit him.

Cheng Mu… didn’t dare to retaliate.

Sitting at the side with his feet on the table, Cheng Huo glared at Cheng Mu and gritted his teeth involuntarily.

“I came to you mainly with regards to Miss Qin.” Cheng Shui hit his head a few more times before getting down to business. “You should know that Boss wants you to follow Miss Qin. Since you’ve officially joined our manor, I won’t hide the news from you anymore. There are still a few more months left until Miss Qin’s college examination. During this time, we will all be in Continent M. I’ll tell you about the distribution of forces within Continent M. Cheng Huo, listen closely too.”

Cheng Tu’s actions had always been mysterious, but Cheng Juan wasn’t very concerned. He was deeply hidden in Continent M, so Cheng Shui rarely mentioned Cheng Tu to the others.

He could probably guess what Cheng Juan’s next moves were.

They were about to have a showdown.

Continent M was the development focus of the International Center and had gathered countless forces.

The other side of the manor always acted in a low-key manner. Various forces wanted to annex them not only for the few main businesses but also for the control of the aircraft parking ground.

The Mas family was second to none in Continent M and held a strong foothold. Apart from them, there were also some underground forces that had been handed down.

“The number one among these forces is the Underground Alliance.”
