"Why are you looking at me?" Gu Xichi raised an eyebrow.
The car drove slowly into the manor.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening and was dark.
Gu Xichi hadn't slept well for several days and had been in a drowsy state along the way, so he hadn't paid attention to the route.
He had been woken up by Jiang Dongye.
"Nothing, " Qin Ran said vaguely. She looked away and reached out to untie her seat belt."I was just looking."
Gu Xichi felt like Qin Ran's expression wasn't right, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it for the time being."Xiao Ran, how many rooms does Brother's house have? Is it enough for us?"
"It's not bad, enough for you to live in." Qin Ran coughed.
Gu Xichi nodded."That's good enough."
The car drove into the manor and they got ready to get off.
As soon as the car stopped, a servant came over to pick up the car key and drive the car into the garage.
The sight from inside the car hadn't been very good.
Gu Xichi thought that Cheng Juan had just bought a small house here. According to his extravagance, he might have even bought a garden.
However, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw several cement avenues along with a manor that seemed to have no end.
Although it was already night, the manor was brightly lit. Yelling and cheering could be heard not far away. Servants and bodyguards came and went.
Gu Xichi and Jiang Dongye had broadened views. But even so, they were deeply surprised by the old castles and towers.
"Let's go." Qin Ran put on her coat.
Seeing that the two were still stunned, she couldn't help but turn around and urge them.
Returning to his senses, Gu Xichi followed behind her and said faintly, "Xiao Ran, this is considered not bad?"
"Otherwise, is it bad?" Qin Ran raised an eyebrow.
Gu Xichi reached out to button his coat in silence.
They walked along the cobblestone road to the middle castle and bumped into many servants and members of each hall.
When they saw Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, they respectfully stood aside and greeted them "Boss" and "Miss Qin".
It was plain as day that Cheng Juan was the owner of this manor.
"You grew up with my Brother, " Gu Xichi walked behind Qin Ran and Cheng Juan to whisper to Jiang Dongye."Why does he have such a big manor in Continent M?"
Jiang Dongye also recovered and shook his head at this. His gentle eyebrows were knitted slightly in a frown."This is the first I came to know of this. I didn't hide it on purpose. Most people in Beijing think that Master Juan ignores his duties, but if the Cheng family knows of his large estate here in Continent M... they'll be frightened to tears."
Even if he didn't operate in Continent M, Jiang Dongye also knew that there were many big bosses as well as well-known international forces stationed here.
Owning such a large estate in Continent M required not only money but also authority.
Continent M was complex. Without enough power, no one would dare occupy such a large manor.
"I just found it strange." Gu Xichi glanced around and looked at the training ground not far away. His beautiful eyebrows knitted slightly."I just find this place familiar."
"Maybe you slept too little recently, Brother Gu." Jiang Dongye automatically made up a reason for him."I do the same sometimes."
"Really?" Gu Xichi's intuition told him something was wrong.
But he couldn't think of what at the moment.
They reached the first floor of the old castle as they talked.
Inside, the servants had already set meals on the round table.
No one was seated on the table and there were obviously two more sets of tablewares tonight. Cheng Juan had informed Cheng Shui before coming back.
But they didn't see Cheng Shui nor Cheng Huo.
Instead, Cheng Mu was the one who came out of the training ground when they came back.
His face wasn't as swollen as before, but it was still bruised.
After greeting them one by one, he turned to Qin Ran in surprise."Miss Qin, weren't you coming back tomorrow afternoon?"
Qin Ran pulled out a chair and sat down. Since not everyone was here yet, she didn't pick up her chopsticks and just laid her hands on the table."Something happened, so we came back earlier."
Cheng Mu nodded and asked no more.
Jiang Dongye put his phone on the table and raised an eyebrow at Cheng Mu."Cheng Mu, did you get beaten up?"
But he also felt strange. He hadn't seen Cheng Mu for just one month, but why did it seem like he had changed into another person?
His whole body seemed full of explosive power.
Gu Xichi had slept in the car for a long time and wasn't sleepy anymore. He lowered his head to play a game on his phone.
Hearing this, he also looked up and grinned."Cheng Mu, did you get special training?"
Cheng Mu glanced at them expressionlessly and nodded."Yes."
"You're lucky." Gu Xichi leaned back on the chair and put his phone down."Do you know how much the professor's experimental medicines you took are worth?"
Cheng Mu had long known that Qin Ran's medicines weren't simple. He quickly looked up at Gu Xichi at this.
He wanted to return the money to Miss Qin.
"Ask my Brother." Gu Xichi smiled.
Cheng Mu turned to Cheng Juan.
While pouring tea for Qin Ran, Cheng Juan sat lazily without any bearings. He looked slightly put off and said clearly, "The R&D investment and human resources added together and discounted by half amounts to 110 million."
He put the teacup down and thought for a moment before adding, "In M coins."
The anti-aging biochemical enzymes they made were only semi-finished products, but people were already paying two to three million per injection and were even fighting for the waiting list.
Gu Xichi had packaged the medicines developed by the world's top group of medical lunatics. Forget about the initial investment, if all these medicines were sold to the big bosses in need, the price could be more exaggerated than the one Cheng Juan had estimated.
"Cough..." Jiang Dongye sat next to Gu Xichi and coughed several times.
It was this expensive?
Cheng Mu was speechless.
What was repayment? He didn't know what it was, he hadn't said anything about it.

"Brother, the student's academic research on heart cloning was inspired by your previous thesis." Gu Xichi thought for a moment before adding, "The old man just asked him to read up on your records and get ready to clean the 12th floor."
From the moment he met him, Gu Xichi knew that Cheng Juan was very knowledgeable.
Be it the cloning of the heart or the anti-aging biochemical enzymes and life suspension... Cheng Juan had written many academic papers that were placed in medical organizations and collected by Luo Jing.
Other professors had to ask him for the key if they wanted to read the papers.
In Gu Xichi's eyes, this kind of medical technology required a civilization of more than a hundred years.
He didn't know how Cheng Juan had developed these thoughts, just like how he didn't know how Qin Ran had managed to give him an artificial intelligence robot 50 years more advanced.
Thus, he wasn't surprised that the two of them had come together.
Cheng Juan nodded in low spirits and remained silent.
Gu Xichi wanted to say something.
But a voice not far away interrupted him."Boss, the two rooms upstairs have been arranged."
Cheng Shui came down from the second floor. He had just finished helping Gu Xichi and Jiang Dongye arrange their rooms.
Walking to the dining table, he didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he first greeted Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, then bowed very politely to Gu Xichi and Jiang Dongye."Young Master Jiang, Mr. Gu."
Jiang Dongye was familiar with Cheng Shui and nodded."Long time no see."
Then, he realized that Gu Xichi was extremely quiet.
"Are you okay?" Qin Ran held her chin in one hand and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Mr- Mr. Cheng Shui?!" Gu Xichi was normally a calm person, but at this time, his beautiful face looked taken by surprise.
He glanced at Cheng Shui, then at Cheng Juan."What did you just call my Brother?"
Everyone in the business knew that Gu Xichi had a good relationship with the big diamond boss.
In fact, Gu Xichi had never seen the diamond big boss before. Cheng Shui had always acted as the middleman between them.
The last time he came to Continent M was a year and a half ago, and he hadn't stayed for more than ten minutes. This must be why he thought the manor looked so familiar.
Cheng Shui glanced at Cheng Juan and repeated himself."Boss. He's the Boss you're thinking of."
Gu Xichi looked up and stared at the dining table. Except for Jiang Dongye's confused expression, everyone else was calm.
"Xiao Ran, you already knew this?" Gu Xichi glanced at Qin Ran.
She picked up her chopsticks and glanced at him before shaking her head and saying calmly, "I only learned about it a month ago."
Cheng Mu stared at the usually calm Gu Xichi and felt his originally tense expression relax. He felt comforted that he wasn't the only one.
"No, what's wrong?" Jiang Dongye looked up.
Cheng Mu sighed very deeply.
He poured Gu Xichi a glass of cold water and handed it to him, saying with experience, "Doctor Gu, just get used to it."
Jiang Dongye propped his legs up and felt amused at Gu Xichi's rare expression. He laughed calmly."What's worth your surprise? Calm down."
Looking down at Jiang Dongye with a sneer, Gu Xichi said, "Weren't you always curious about the identity of the three big bosses behind me?"
Jiang Dongye nodded. He was indeed very curious.
"Do you know who's the stone reseller?" Gu Xichi continued sneering.
Jiang Dongye was about to say that he wasn't a stone reseller, but a diamond big boss and the world's top three super rich- rich...
Before his thoughts had even aligned fully.
An idea struck Jiang Dongye's mind and he turned to stare at Cheng Juan. What- What the hell?
