After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Lin Yue also nodded repeatedly to show her agreement, and her usually cold eyes were now more gentle and distressed.

"Congratulations to the host for receiving 50 points of love from Zhao Gang."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving 30 points of love from Lin Yue. The total love has reached 130 points. Please keep up the good work, host."

Listening to the system voice coming from her ears, Nan Qiao was so moved that she almost cried. It feels so good to have someone care about her!

"Uncle Zhao Gang, Lan Yuchen doesn't know I have the system. He probably wants those two people to follow me and find out if I've revealed my identity. They're not spies, so let them go."

"Okay, I'll call them right away." Zhao Gang stood up. "By the way, Dr. Jiang would like you to demonstrate how to use the nano-repair machine."

"Okay, I'll go find Dr. Jiang right away." Nan Qiao nodded and left the meeting room.

Zhao Gang called and the Security Bureau released the person.

As soon as the two of them turned on their phones with trembling hands, a call came in impatiently.

Lan Yuchen contacted these two people for three days, but they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and he couldn't get in touch with them no matter what.

He could only keep making phone calls, his face calm but his heart filled with fear and confusion.

After finally contacting the two people, Lan Yuchen frowned and asked, "What happened to you two? Why have you been missing for three days?"

On the other end of the line, the two men replied with trembling voices, "Boss, we were arrested by the Security Bureau. They suspected us of being spies. We were detained for three days. It scared us to death."

Another person's voice was tearful, clearly terrified. "We all thought we couldn't get out. If we were convicted, we'd be stabbed."

Lan Yuchen's heart tightened. "How did you get caught by the Security Bureau? What did you do?"

The two men truthfully told the story of how they were caught following Nan Qiao that day.

"We don't know what happened. We were clearly tracking him, but suddenly we were caught."

After listening to this, Lan Yuchen was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion surging in his heart.

What did Nan Qiao do that was worth the official going through so much trouble?

"We won't take on this kind of work anymore. It's a high-risk job, and we still want to live a few more years!"

The two people on the other end of the phone continued, "We didn't find out anything this time, so we won't take your money, Mr. Lan. We also plan to retire. If you have this kind of thing again, Mr. Lan, please find someone else, don't come to us again."

Another person kindly advised, "Boss Lan, I advise you to stop asking about Miss Nan Qiao's affairs. The less you know, the better."

"Miss Nan Qiao, you can't afford to offend her."

But that's how people are. The more they are told not to ask, the more curious they become.

Lan Yuchen wanted to ask something but the two of them had already hung up the phone. When he called again, the other party had blocked him.

Lan Yuchen's face immediately turned green. It was the first time that he was humiliated by his unpopular younger sister, and he felt very bad.

Afterwards, Lan Yuchen returned home with a gloomy face. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the voices of his parents and sister Lan Xuxue talking in the living room.

"Mom and Dad, let me tell you, I saw Nan Qiao being taken away by officials outside the alley that day. I wonder if she has done something wrong." Lan Xuxue said with certainty, and there was a hint of gloating in her tone.

It was the first time Lan Yuchen saw it so clearly that he could hardly believe his eyes.

He never expected that his sister, who had been kind and innocent since childhood, would have this side of him.

But he soon figured it out. Lan Xuxue was still young and it was inevitable that she had some small thoughts.

Lan Zhiming frowned and said coldly, "Fortunately, we have severed ties with her, otherwise we would have to deal with her aftermath, which is troublesome."

Jiang Peishan was also extremely relieved and echoed, "As expected, those who grew up in an orphanage have filthy thoughts and dirty hands."

"Bringing him back to the Lan family will only cause unrest in the Lan family."

Jiang Peishan smiled at Lan Xuxue and said, "Our Xiaoxue is so well-behaved and sensible. Not only has she never caused any trouble to our Lan family since she was young, she has also received many honors and brought us honor."

"By the way, didn't you sign up for this year's Youth Invention and Creation Competition? How are your preparations going? When does the actual competition start?"

"The competition will start a month after school starts." Lan Xuxue said with a smile.

"After school starts, I would like to ask for advice from seniors majoring in electronic information engineering and mechanical engineering at Peking University, so that I can make my work better and strive to win first place." Lan Xuxue raised her chin, her face full of confidence.

Seeing this, Lan Zhiming's eyes were full of admiration, "She is worthy of being my daughter, she is ambitious!"

"Xiaoxue, don't worry and ask for advice. Our Lan family does have some knowledge in this area. With your intelligence and the guidance of Senior Jingda, you will definitely win the first place in this competition."

Jiang Peishan also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xiaoxue. You have always been excellent. You deserve the first place in this competition."

"When you win the award, our Lan family will gain more glory."

Lan Xuxue felt a little flattered by her parents' praise. She could already see herself standing on the podium, receiving everyone's envious gazes. "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I will definitely work hard. I want everyone to know that our Lan family's children are the best!"

Of course, except for Nan Qiao, who grew up in an orphanage, she will prove that no matter what, she is the best and most suitable person to be a father, mother or daughter!

"Brother, how long have you been back? Why haven't you spoken a word?" Lan Xuxue turned around and saw Lan Yuchen standing at the entrance. She immediately restrained her expression, fearing that her elder brother would discover her little thoughts.

Lan Yuchen frowned slightly, walked over slowly, and sat down on the sofa, "I just came back a while ago."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaoxue, participating in the competition is a good thing, but don't be too conceited. There are many outstanding people in this world. You must remain humble and keep working hard."

Lan Xuxue felt a little unconvinced, but she didn't dare to refute her elder brother, so she could only respond obediently, "I understand, brother. I will humbly ask the seniors for advice."

Not long after, Lan Zhiming and Jiang Peishan returned to their rooms. Lan Yuchen reminded Lan Xuxue, "Don't tell your parents about Nan Qiao in the future, and don't ask around."

He always felt that Nan Qiao's matter was not as simple as they imagined, and it would be better for the Lan family to stay away from her and take care of themselves.

"Why, brother?"

Lan Yuchen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "No reason."

"Nan Qiao has nothing to do with our Lan family anymore. There's no point in inquiring about her or talking about her too much. It will only cause more trouble."

Lan Xuxue said unwillingly, "But brother, I think my parents have an obligation to know what kind of person their biological daughter is..."

Lan Yuchen's tone became stern: "No! We in the Lan family have our own lives to live. Don't bother with someone you've already severed ties with."

"Prepare for your game well and don't focus on these unimportant things."

"But, brother..."

Lan Yuchen interrupted her, "Do you also want to sever ties with us like she did?"
