The next day.
Duet Cafe.
This was the second time Qin Ran and Xu Lanxia met.
Xu Lanxia no longer had the dominance she had last time, and there was a hint of unconcealable worry on her face.
Qin Ran was a little confused. He didn't say anything like "Madam, you don't want to..."
Things seemed to be very different from what he had guessed.
Xu Lanxia glanced at the Land Rover outside the window. "Qin Ran, you're lucky. Both of your games became hits."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ran immediately realized that Xu Lanxia was investigating him again.
He had only bought the car a few days ago, but Xu Lanxia already knew that it was the profit from his game development.
Qin Ran was a little wary. Xu Lanxia either had someone keep an eye on him or launched a second investigation into him.
Either way, it's not good news.
Fortunately, the initiative was in his hands and he did not do anything illegal.
Kieran smiled and said, "Just luck."
"You're quite modest, neither arrogant nor impetuous. You don't act like a young person."
"You are too polite, Madam. I wonder what you want to discuss with me today."
"We are going abroad." Xu Lanxia's tone revealed helplessness and reluctance.
Qin Ran was stunned. "Going abroad? Going on vacation?"
"No. We probably won't be back for a few years. You don't need to do anything else."
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Lanxia took out a bank card and pushed it in front of Qin Ran.
"There's 30 million in here. The password is the last six digits of the card number. I hope you can promise me something."
Qin Ran had a bad feeling that something must have happened that he didn't know about.
Otherwise, Xu Lanxia would not have said that she wanted to go abroad, and stay there for several years.
It's more like...running away.
Something may have happened!
"What happened?"
Xu Lanxia shook her head. "You don't need to know. Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to do anything, and it might even bring you trouble."
"The An Group collapsed?"
Xu Lanxia answered the question irrelevantly. "I hope that if Xiaoke stays in China, you can help transfer the money to her."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the money?"
"I believe Xiaoke and Xiaomo won't make the mistake of choosing me." Xu Lanxia said meaningfully, "Besides, can you escape?"
Qin Ran ignored the threat in Xu Lanxia's words and asked, "Why don't you hand it over to Sister An yourself?"
"Sister An?" Xu Lanxia smiled playfully.
"Give her the money yourself."
"If she'd accepted my money, there'd be no need to do this." Xu Lanxia sighed. "Qin Ran, I won't stop you and Xiao Ke from having sex, but you must at least ensure she has a worry-free life for the rest of her life. I already owe her a lot."
"Wait." Qin Ran raised his hand and said, "Madam, I think you may have misunderstood."
"Dashcam."
. . .
Kieran fell silent.
"If Xiaoke is willing to go abroad with me, this money will be your breakup fee, and you should never come to see Xiaoke again."
? ?
Breakup fee?
We are not even together, so how can we talk about "breaking up"?
Qin Ran looked at the bank card on the table and fell into deep thought.
Today's private meeting was completely beyond Kieran's expectations.
Although Xu Lanxia didn't say it explicitly, Qin Ran guessed that something big had happened in the An Group.
There is another possibility. An Ke's in-laws were removed from office, and the An Group was implicated. After all, the interests of the two families are intertwined.
Now An Maochang is going to take his wife and daughter abroad to avoid the limelight.
Kieran couldn't think of any other possibility.
But the An Group, which is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, is about to collapse?
It's a bit unbelievable!
Qin Ran couldn't help but think of a certain video, a certain energy, and a certain big company. They were all industry giants, but they also collapsed at any time.
Some individual debts even reach trillions!
The collapse of the An Group certainly shocked Qin Ran, but it was not unacceptable.
Qin Ran didn't have any feelings for the An Group, so if it collapsed, it collapsed.
But he was concerned about whether Anke would be implicated.
After a long silence, Qin Ran asked, "Is Sister An okay?"
"It should be fine. It will be fine if you go abroad with me."
"So today you actually want me to be your lobbyist?"
"Yes and no."
Xu Lanxia sighed softly.
"Xiao Ke is my daughter. I watched her grow up. How could I not understand her temper?"
"She has been a widow for so many years because of a dead fiancé. It hurts me to see her like that."
"Now that she finally has a chance to be free, she won't listen to us anymore."
As Xu Lanxia spoke, her eyes became red and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
But in Kieran's eyes, these were no different from crocodile tears.
If he really loved Encore as much as he said, he should have set Encore free long ago.
Instead of waiting until the tree fell to remember that An Ke was his only daughter.
Kieran accepted the card and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Next week at the latest."
"How big is it?"
"The middle sea is shaking."
Qin Ran was shocked! No wonder Xu Lanxia was so anxious to go abroad.
"This money is with me. I will persuade Sister An."
"Don't worry, this money is clean and will not affect you."
"I'm just holding the compensation you owe Sister An."
Xu Lanxia's expression turned a little grim, but she still agreed with Qin Ran's statement.
"Thank you!"
"Need not."
"If Xiao Ke doesn't leave, please take better care of her."
"You don't need to worry about these. You should think about how to deal with this trouble more cleanly."
"I understand. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again. I'm leaving now."
"Wait. Who is Sister An's biological father?"
"Just a dead man."
"Is he really dead?"
Xu Lanxia's expression changed. She looked at Qin Ran for a long moment before saying, "It doesn't matter anymore. I would have died a long time ago."
After saying that, Xu Lanxia stood up and left, her back still as dignified and elegant as ever.
Qin Ran sat in his seat, staring at the sky outside the window in a daze.
He had investigated this matter. Although the Internet was not well developed in the past, there were still clues.
Relying on clues, Qin Ran found An Ke's biological father.
Anke's biological father is not dead. He got married in his thirties and now has his own family.
The life of an ordinary family is very different from that of the wife of the chairman of An Group!
From ancient times to the present, there have been countless similar incidents.
Qin Ran was not easy to comment on.
Some things cannot be simply judged by right or wrong, nor can we stand on the moral high ground to judge who is right and who is wrong.
Behind human nature is the fickleness of the world.
