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

Lan Yuchen sat there expressionlessly, staring blankly ahead, as if numb to everything before him.

Recently, because of Lan Xuxue's incident, the Lan family's stock market plummeted, and their Lan family directly lost hundreds of millions. He was busy and overwhelmed, but had no ability to stop it.

Lan Hanwen looked at Lan Xuxue with impatience. He once treated this sister as a treasure, but now he treated her like a snake and avoided her as much as possible.

Lan Jingcheng, however, was filled with sorrow and genuinely worried about his sister.

Will she be well fed and well clothed after she goes in? Can her spoiled sister endure the life in there?

After she was released, her life was completely ruined. How could she live under the criticism of others?

In the court, the judge struck the gavel, and the crisp sound instantly quieted the noisy courtroom.

The prosecutor listed Lan Xuxue's crimes in a clear and orderly manner, and each piece of evidence exploded in the courtroom like a bombshell.

The surveillance video and the media footage showed Lan Xuxue looking excited, raising the nano-repair machine with resentment and determination, and about to smash it down.

Lan Zhiming was so angry when he saw this scene that he trembled all over and scolded in a low voice: "Rebellious girl!"

Jiang Peishan cried even louder and almost collapsed.

The defense lawyer tried to exonerate Lan Xuxue, but his words seemed pale and powerless in the face of the hard evidence.

When the audience who witnessed the incident appeared in court as witnesses, Lan Xuxue's psychological defenses completely collapsed. She slumped in her chair with a blank look in her eyes.

Some members of the Lan family looked reluctant, while others looked disappointed.

In the end, the judge sentenced Lan Xuxue to ten years in prison and a fine for intentionally destroying the country's valuable scientific research products.

Upon hearing the verdict, Lan Xuxue burst into tears and Jiang Peishan almost fainted.

Lan Zhiming sighed deeply, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

People in the courtroom were talking about it. Amidst the clamor, the Lan family members had different expressions, but they were all overwhelmed by the heavy verdict and could not raise their heads.

Nan Qiao and Lin Yue stood up and walked out of the court calmly. The sunlight shining on them formed a sharp contrast with the oppression in the courtroom.

After the trial, the Lan family returned home in low spirits.

Lan Jingcheng walked towards Lan Xuxue's room with heavy steps, and every step seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds.

The room was still filled with the scent of Lan Xuxue's usual perfume, but at this moment it only felt pungent to him.

He slowly opened the wardrobe and began to pack things for his sister.

His hands were trembling as he folded the clothes, his eyes full of heartache and helplessness.

When he picked up a coat, he accidentally saw his sister's laptop on the table.

He turned on his laptop, which was not turned off, and the screen lit up immediately.

The WeChat interface came into view. Lan Jingcheng wanted to help her close it, but found that it was a chat window between Lan Xuxue and Hu Lili, and he had not had time to log out.

His eyes involuntarily fell on the chat history. Lan Jingcheng slowly flipped through the pages, and each line of text made his face more and more ugly.

Lan Xuxue complained to Hu Lili during a chat, "My second brother is really stupid. No one knows how to spread rumors. How come he can't do what others can do, and he got arrested?"

"It made me live in fear all day, afraid that he would betray me. But fortunately, he also knew that it was his own fault and had nothing to do with me, so he didn't tell the police."

"We should stay away from him from now on. We shouldn't let a man who has been in jail influence us. I really think it's unlucky."

Lan Jingcheng's hands were tightly clutching his clothes, his knuckles turning white.

A feeling of resentment welled up in his heart. He had done so much for his sister, but in her eyes he was so unbearable.

He recalled how much effort and connections he had put in to help her discredit Nan Qiao online, but in the end things did not develop as they expected, and he ended up in jail.

Who was he in jail for? Who was he sacrificing his esports career for? Wasn't it to vent his anger on Lan Xuxue? She actually, she actually...

Lan Jingcheng gritted his teeth and his breathing became rapid.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He couldn't understand why his sister, who had been well-behaved, sensible and loved him since childhood, would become like this!

Lan Jingcheng continued to look at the chat history. Hu Lili's flattering and bad advice made him even more furious.

He slammed his computer shut and stuffed his clothes into his bag.

He paced back and forth in the room, the anger in his heart burning like a flame that could not be extinguished.

He wanted to find Lan Xuxue to ask clearly, but he knew that she was in the police station at the moment and they couldn't meet.

Lan Jingcheng punched the wall, the resentment and hatred in his heart intertwined together, making him fall into deep resentment and pain.

The light in the room was dim, as if mourning the depressing atmosphere.

Finally, Lan Jingcheng sat on the sofa and calmed down.

He would no longer regard Lan Xuxue as his sister, nor would he be so caring towards her.

When Lan Xuxue comes out, he will just treat her as an ordinary adopted daughter of the Lan family!

the other side.

Zhao Gang stood in a laboratory filled with various instruments with a serious expression, checking the parameters of each device with focused eyes.

He held a list in his hand, which listed various supplies and tools prepared for Nan Qiao's journey. While checking the list, he carefully sorted the items and placed them in special storage boxes.

He carefully placed some small but powerful communication devices into a shockproof box. These communication devices had been specially modified to maintain stable signals under various interferences that might occur in the other world.

He picked up several sets of light and tough protective clothing and repeatedly checked them for damage or defects to ensure Nan Qiao's safety in the other world.

On the table nearby were various special medicines, some for healing wounds and some for resisting unknown viruses. Zhao Gang put them one by one into the first aid kit and marked the instructions for use in detail.

In order to help Nan Qiao adapt to the environment of the strange world better and faster, Zhao Gang also prepared a large amount of information about geography, culture and possible dangerous creatures.

He organized the information into electronic documents and stored them in a waterproof and sturdy tablet computer so that Nan Qiao could check them at any time.

At the same time, he did not forget to check the core components of the crossing device, used professional instruments to detect whether the energy fluctuations were stable, and carefully inspected and debugged every screw and every line to ensure that no faults would occur during the crossing process.

He called his assistant and checked the list of supplies again. His voice was calm and firm: "These things are related to Nan Qiao's safety in the other world. There can't be any mistakes."

The assistant nodded seriously and repeatedly confirmed every preparation with Zhao Gang.

The laboratory was brightly lit, and indicator lights on various instruments were flashing, as if they were preparing for the upcoming crossing operation.

Zhao Gang took a deep breath. He knew that this journey was of great significance and must be foolproof.
