So Susie opened her arms and hugged him, while also making a pretentious cheek kiss gesture.

She was carrying a huge pile of snacks and had also bought two family buckets, as if she knew they hadn't been eating properly.

"Senior sister is the most considerate." Gu Ran picked up two pieces of original recipe chicken and started eating. Before, eating a bowl of instant noodles was not enough.

"You've made quite a commotion this time." Susie glanced at Zhao Xuzhen lying on the ground, and at the transformed second-generation creature.

Both of them were bound by steel cables by Gu Ran. If they hadn't been injured, the steel cables might not have been able to restrain them, but at this moment, Zhao Xuzhen's limbs had been broken by Gu Ran, and the spine of the second-generation species had also been severed by Gu Ran, so he had no power to resist.

“Next, we’ll go to Japan first, and then transfer there to Chicago,” Gu Ran said. “I’ve revised Norma’s plan and, by using my connections, we’ll be able to get to Japan very soon.”

"But shouldn't we be worried about the other side's forces coming to seize these two targets along the way, since they have high research value?" Susie learned about Zhao Xuzhen and the next generation on the way.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't allow them to steal it," Gu Ran said with a half-smile.

For the Secret Party, Zhao Xuzhen, a super hybrid breed resulting from dozens of generations of superior genes, is very worthy of study. His power to control dragons and his secret techniques are also a valuable asset for the Secret Party to study.

Therefore, the researchers from the secret party were overjoyed to learn that Gu Ran had captured two live specimens for them!

The Night Watch community is very active now, with various departments discussing how to divide the two specimens for research. Even the Equipment Department hopes to obtain the scales of the next generation of dragons for equipment research.

This was information that Gu Ran had deliberately spread through Li Enshu, so that the entire academy would know that Gu Ran had captured a super hybrid and a second-generation hybrid.

The goal is to create momentum while shifting blame. It's the Secret Party that's targeting Zhao Xuzhen, not me, Gu Ran. Everyone knows the Secret Party's principles. Who told you to be so flamboyant and become dragon knights in broad daylight? You brought it on yourselves!

Seeing Gu Ran's expression, Susie knew he was definitely plotting some wicked scheme.

But she didn't say anything, she just invited Victoria and Isabel to eat and chat together.

"I see this is your first mission, how are you feeling?" Susie asked the two of them.

Isabel said, "I was very excited when I first heard I could go on a mission, but to be honest, I was also very scared when I actually faced the real dragon..."

“Me too, I was really scared to death by Longwei at the time…” Victoria said with lingering fear. “Don’t laugh at me, I almost lost control of my bladder.”

"Luckily, we had the president. He encouraged us, saying that it was just a big, flying lizard and nothing to worry about."

Victoria looked at Gu Ran with pure admiration, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at his retreating figure.

Isabel then said to Susie, "With the president's encouragement, we're not afraid anymore. Oh, and I also destroyed Dragon Wing with a sniper rifle!"

Isabel proudly recounted the battle to Susie. She was usually a very refined girl, but today, when talking about her fight with the dragon, her excitement was palpable.

Victoria also said that she had done a good job of gathering evidence, and had filmed Zhao Xuzhen's actions, including breaking through his bloodline to become a dragon, colluding with dragons, and carrying out terrorist attacks.

Lying on the ground, Zhao Xuzhen was speechless. If the Secret Service got hold of this evidence, he probably wouldn't dare to leave Great Britain Island for the rest of his life, otherwise he would definitely be hunted down to death by the Secret Service.

"For your first time facing a real dragon, you've performed exceptionally well," Susie, as a senior, gently encouraged her juniors.

"You faced a real dragon before, right, senior? Like when Constantine invaded the campus?" Isabel said. "How did you react then?"

"Me..." Susie recalled that night and laughed, "I performed terribly. I was also intimidated by the dragon's might and almost died. Fortunately, my junior brother saved me."

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Ran, who was gnawing on chicken wings by the lake. He seemed not to have heard her and was only focused on eating.

Isabel had heard that Susie had been affected by Constantine's words of power and almost died, but was saved by Gu Ran.

So Susie brought up the incident of the dragons invading the campus, saying that Gu Ran was only a freshman at the time, but he was undisciplined and acted arbitrarily. However, he dared to attack Constantine alone when everyone was helpless, and he also suggested that the kinetic energy of Frigga's bullets could be used to stop the enemy.

Finally, he chased after Constantine and Norton, and if the principal hadn't stopped him on the radio, he probably would have killed Norton on the spot at the school.

“Then why not kill Norton at school?” Victoria asked.

"The principal has other matters to consider. As for what those matters are, you are not yet of the appropriate rank, so I cannot tell you," Gu Ran said at this moment.

“Oh…” Victoria obediently did not ask any more questions.

At that time, Angers must have reached some kind of agreement with the boss. The boss needed Norton's dragon bones, while Angers needed Lu Mingfei. So Angers let Norton go back and merge with Samson, so that Norton's dragon bones would become more mature. After Jiude Mai killed Norton, the Secret Society did not retrieve the dragon bones. Instead, Su Enxi's team retrieved them.

So the dragon bone eventually ended up in the hands of the small business owner.

The rest of the time was spent keeping watch and chatting, waiting for the remaining three Secret Service agents to arrive. By then, it was already dawn.

Following Norma's instructions, the group headed to Japan.

*……*……*

On the other side, the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

That night, Su Xiaoqiang met with many lawyers at the top-floor clubhouse. Each of them came with various equity transfer contracts, asking her to sign them.

Most of the lawyers work for multinational companies, and the sentence they said to Su Xiaoqiang most often after they came to her door was, "As long as you sign this document, a portion of the shares of a certain international company will be transferred to your name..."

These international giants, including Google, Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, and Microsoft, involved equity transfers from more than twenty companies, plus $5 billion in cash, totaling $1001 billion!

Although Gu Ran called to tell her that someone was going to send her money and that she should keep whatever amount was sent, she thought it would be at most a few hundred million US dollars.

I never expected it to be $1001 billion...

And this doesn't even include the $100 billion bet that Gu Ran won back from his student card.

"This kid makes money pretty fast and easily..." Nuwa was always by Su Xiaoqiang's side protecting her, and also helping her look at the contract.

In less than a day, it generated over a hundred billion US dollars in revenue, faster than banks printing money.

"Yes, it's too fast..." Su Xiaoqiang has now transformed into a billionaire with assets of hundreds of billions of dollars, and that doesn't even take into account the future changes in the market value of those companies.

For example, Microsoft's current market value is only slightly over $2000 billion, but it will eventually approach $4 trillion, a 20-fold increase!

This means that Su Xiaoqiang's Microsoft shares will appreciate 20 times in value in the future!

The market capitalization of companies like Apple and Google has also increased more than tenfold in ten years!

Even disregarding the value of the equity, the annual dividends from these companies alone constitute an inexhaustible fortune!

All of this happened so suddenly that Su Xiaoqiang felt like she was in a dream world.

With a net worth of $1101 billion, Su Xiaoqiang seems to be richer than most entrepreneurs in China—no, he should be richer than all of them. Probably none of the entrepreneurs on the Forbes China list are as wealthy as Su Xiaoqiang!

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are some hidden billionaires who are not on the list.

If this money were used in Africa, it would be enough to arm a country and then sweep across the entire continent... It would be enough to make a country richer than itself!

Gu Ran had already earned several hundred million US dollars after the sinking of Tokyo, which Su Xiaoqiang already considered a lot.

Now, assets worth several hundred million dollars have suddenly become 1101 billion... That's too much!

Actually, this doesn't even include Gu Ran's Bitcoin. He mined more than 10% of the total Bitcoin supply, which is over a million coins.

When it reaches $100,000 a coin... there are so many zeros, it's hard to count them all.

"But I've discovered that this kid is like a Pixiu, only taking in and never giving out. He has so many billions in assets and he's still eating and drinking for free here," Nuwa said irritably.

Su Xiaoqiang smiled, quickly hugged Nuwa's small body, and said coquettishly, "That's because you're kind-hearted and care about us juniors!"

Nuwa smiled and gently patted Su Xiaoqiang's head with her small hand, just like petting a kitten.

“Since the other party has admitted their mistake and Gu Ran has no intention of killing Zhao Xuzhen, you should be safe now and won’t bother you again,” Nuwa said. “Besides, the entire city of Shanghai is under my surveillance. If any mixed-race individuals approach, I will detect them immediately. But just in case, you should stay here with me for a few more days, just like playing games with me.”

"Thank you, Nuwa," Su Xiaoqiang said happily. "I really enjoy living with Nuwa."

"You have such a sweet mouth." Nuwa pinched Su Xiaoqiang's little cheek, then yawned and went back to her room to take a nap.

She didn't sleep all night either.

*……*……*

The next afternoon, Gu Ran and the others arrived at Kansai Airport in Osaka.

Because Tokyo's airspace is not under the control of the Japanese government but rather the US military, all aircraft landing in Tokyo have to make a large detour to avoid the airspace controlled by US military bases.

This has created a situation where flying from Shanghai to Osaka is closer than flying to Tokyo because it avoids detours.

The journey to transport Zhao Xuzhen was surprisingly safe; no one came to steal Zhao Xuzhen or the next-generation creature.

Susie and the others were very vigilant, their nerves on edge, while Gu Ran was relaxed, because he was sure that everyone understood him.

This is good.

According to the secret party's discussion, this time Zhao Xuzhen and the second-generation species will not be brought back to Kassel College. Instead, they will be transported to a small island in the Pacific Ocean for secret experiments.

"Hello, Gu Ran. My name is Fujiwara Shinnosuke. I'm the specialist who's here to take over your mission. I'll be in charge of transporting Zhao Xuzhen from now on."

In the cargo transshipment warehouse of Kansai Airport, a refined and composed man was waiting for Gu Ran and explained the arrangements for the trip.

“I’ve received the notification from the Board of Directors regarding the change of assignment, and I know that you will be taking over my assignment.” Gu Ran smiled and handed him the iPad and stylus. “Sign the handover. The person is perfectly fine and still alive, while Long is half-dead.”

Fujiwara Shinnosuke glanced at Zhao Xuzhen's status and immediately signed his name: "Thank you for your hard work, Gu Ran. You've done a great job capturing this super hybrid!"

"Not at all, it's all thanks to everyone," Gu Ran said politely, then smiled and said, "Now that the mission has been handed over, I'm going to rest. Escorting this stuff is quite tiring."

"Yes, yes, junior, you should go and rest!" Fujiwara Shinnosuke said with a smile.

"Well then, goodbye, senior."

"Okay, goodbye junior."

After saying that, Gu Ran led Su Xi and the others away from the airport.

“Something’s not right,” Susie tugged at Gu Ran’s arm and whispered in his ear, “Logically speaking, when escorting such a super hybrid, the personnel should have been arranged in advance. Moreover, this mission was originally our responsibility, and we should have been the ones to transport him to a certain base. How could the personnel have been changed halfway through?”

"Who cares? That's how the academy arranged it anyway, we'll just follow orders." Gu Ran knew their intentions, of course.

“But I always feel there’s something fishy about this kind of task arrangement that just seems to have no end,” Susie said, puzzled.

"Maybe the board of directors is up to some office politics again. I really can't be bothered to think about it." Gu Ran yawned, pretending not to care about anything.

In fact, he knows it perfectly well!

He specifically told the person on the other end of the phone last night that he would do everything in his power to ensure the mission's success, so if the other party wanted to rescue Zhao Xuzhen, they would have to get past Gu Ran first.

Gu Ran's strength is undeniable, and they fear the cost will be too high, but they cannot abandon the person, since they have already spent money, and Zhao Xuzhen is a valuable asset.

then what should we do?

The best solution is to remove Gu Ran from his post and prevent him from continuing to escort Zhao Xuzhen.

So they mobilized the power of the school board to have Gu Ran hand over the task, which led to the scene at the airport.

"Is this Fujiwara Shinnosuke in your year? Do you know him?" Gu Ran turned to ask Su Qian beside her.
