Chapter 738: Who Owns the Patent?

Afterward, Yang Yue was taken away by the police.

And thus, the first cooperation between Jian Yiling, Zhai Yunsheng, Qin Chuan, and Qin Yufan ended as a success.

However, Qin Yufan’s heart still felt heavy. After all, Yang Yue was her beloved aunt.

“I want to take this opportunity to apologize to you on behalf of my auntie,” Qin Yufan said to Qin Chuan and Zhai Yunsheng.

Zhai Yunsheng merely nodded. From the very beginning, he did not take this matter to heart.

If it weren’t for Jian Yiling’s insistence on resolving the conflicts, he wouldn’t have been bothered to get involved.

After all, his reputation wasn’t great in the first place. It was normal for him to be framed and wrongly accused.

Qin Chuan replied: “We’re just in different positions. Sometimes, we don’t have the freedom to act independently. However, you’re still my sister.”

This was Qin Chuan’s first time acknowledging Qin Yufan’s relationship with him.

Upon hearing the word “sister,” the tears that Qin Yufan held back all day flowed out.

She always pretended that she was strong and mature. However, in reality, ever since her mother passed away, the series of changes had already made her feel constantly exhausted.

If it weren’t for the fact that someone had been accompanying her during this time, she might have already gone to some extremes.

Following this, Qin Yufan wiped away the tears on her face and pridefully said: “I don’t have a brother.”

Then, Qin Yufan turned around and asked Jian Yiling: “Jian Yiling, after this, we’re considered friends now right?”

“Mhmm,” they were friends now.

A smile appeared on Qin Yufan’s face.

The smile was incredibly genuine.

There was no deliberate pretense in that smile.

It was a rare smile that came from Qin Yufan’s heart.

Friends. Jian Yiling didn’t become her friend because she was the Young Lady of the Qin family.

Qin Yufan whispered into Jian Yiling’s ear: “It seems as though Qin Chuan and Zhai Yunsheng’s relationship got better! Are you happy?”

As she said this, Qin Yufan and Jian Yiling’s eyes were looking at Zhai Yunsheng and Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan and Zhai Yunsheng did not speak to each other. However, there was no animosity between them either. At the very least, they were existing in harmony.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. She did not want anything to happen with Zhai Yunsheng. She did not want to see the things that happened in the original novel.

Therefore, she had to make sure that the two of them did not become enemies. She did not want to bet on who would win in the end.

And thus, if the two of them weren’t on opposing sides, it would be going against the original plot.

“Oh right, what’s the deal with your self-defense weapon? What special battery does it have? What makes it so powerful?” Qin Yufan asked. She did not forget about the strange equipment that Jian Yiling had.

“It’s a new type of battery. It’s not yet sold on the market,” Jian Yiling replied.

“No wonder I haven’t seen it before!” Qin Yufan replied with excitement. Then, she began to question: “Who owns the patent? Which research team is developing it? I want to invest!”

From a businessman’s point of view, such a product would be incredibly profitable. Investing in it would definitely be the right choice.

Zhai Yunsheng and Qin Chuan also saw this.

Back then, they remained in communication with Jian Yiling and Qin Yufan. They heard what was happening in the Qin Residence.

And thus, they knew about the self-defense equipment that Jian Yiling was carrying.

All of a sudden, Jian Yiling felt like she was being watched by three wolves.

No. She wasn’t being watched by three wolves. The new type of battery in her hands was being watched.

“It’s not going to be mass-produced yet,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Oh? If it’s not something that’s going to be mass-produced yet, then how did you get it? Do you know the research and development team?”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Then did the research and development team make those self-defense weapons for you?”

“Brother Yunmo made them.”

“Doesn’t your second brother major in biology?”

“Mhmm. But he also knows a bit about electronics. He said that it’s natural for boys to be interested in electronic devices.”
