However, Ye Maoshan was not angry because Qiao Nian and the others lied to him and refused to tell him the truth.
But worry.
Worried that Qiao Nian would suffer in the Independent Continent.
He did not mention how anxious Grandpa Ye and Ye Lan were, and how quickly they arranged their affairs in Beijing and hurried to the Independent Island.
But Qiao Nian had already guessed something.
She was silent for a moment, then asked, "When will Mr. Ye and Aunt Ye arrive?"
Ye Wangchuan said a time.
Qiao Nian stood up and walked upstairs: "I'll pick you up at the airport later."

at the same time.
On the Ye family’s private plane.
Old Master Ye was sitting upright, looking through the information about the Ye family's influence in the Independent Continent over the years.
Ye Lan brought him a cup of tea and gently placed it on his desk. Seeing that Old Man Ye didn't even raise his head, Ye Lan couldn't help but said worriedly, "Dad, you should take a rest. You haven't closed your eyes for more than ten hours since you got on the plane. It won't be too late to read these materials when you get there."
Old Master Ye flipped through a page of information, took a deep breath, then sat up straight, looked her straight in the eye, and said, "The forces in Independent Continent are complicated, and I'm worried about Nian Nian. The Ye family's roots are in Beijing, not in Independent Continent, and I'm afraid I can't protect her."
Ye Lan remained silent.
She sat down after a long while, rubbing her forehead, and said with a headache, "I don't know what Nian Nian wants to do in the Independent Continent, and Wang Chuan won't tell us the truth."
Mr. Ye didn’t know much, but he knew Ji Qing.
Ji Qing used to be from the First Research Institute.
Old Master Ye opened his mouth and said something serious when he mentioned the First Research Institute: "She should want to enter the First Research Institute."
"The Ye family is not in the Independent Continent, and the First Research Institute is a place where the three major families in the Independent Continent have to show respect. I have heard about the selection system of the research institute before. If she wants to enter the First Research Institute, I have to think of a way."
Ye Lan nodded, noting that the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
She took the initiative to break the solemn atmosphere and said with a smile: "We'll talk about the future later. There will always be a way out. I also know a few forces in the independent continent. If it doesn't work, I will ask them if there is any way to let Nian Nian enter the First Research Institute. By the way, Dad, did Wang Chuan reply to you? Is Nian Nian free to have dinner with us tonight?"
When she mentioned Qiao Nian, Mr. Ye could no longer be strict.
His wrinkled face was visibly relaxed, revealing a warm expression, and his voice became gentle: "If she is busy, we can make an appointment another day. We also need to reorganize the Ye family's influence in the Independent Continent, so there is no rush."
"Yeah." Ye Lan responded, turned her head, and said to the old man: "Don't say anything when you see Nian Nian. If she doesn't want to say what she is doing in Independence Island for the time being, don't ask her. Young people have their own things to do, and we will try our best to help. Nian Nian has always been sensible and distressing. Since she did this, she must have her own reasons."
"Do I need you to teach me how to do this?" Old Master Ye glared at her unhappily, snorted, and said, "I wanted to tell you to stop asking nonsense questions."
Seeing his protective look, Ye Lan wanted to laugh, and the corners of her mouth actually lifted up as she said with a smile, "I won't ask any nonsense questions."
Old Master Ye was upset. He looked at her again, thought for a moment, and said solemnly, "I remember Ye Keji knew someone from the First Research Institute."
