At the thought, he felt somewhat relieved. Catching up to Professor Qiao didn't matter if he could secure the support of her family.

Meanwhile,
Qiao Yun walked to the corridor to answer a phone call.
"What's the matter?"
Pei Ya's voice was somewhat heavy, "I've just received significant news!"
"What?"
On the other side of the line, Pei Ya took a deep breath and said, "M country has requested to have Qin Yuan extradited back to M country, even mobilizing their Foreign Ministry to discuss the issue. This matter isn't just about crime anymore, it has escalated to a national level."
Qiao Yun's lowered eyelids lifted, her gaze slightly cold, "The reason."
"As you know, Qin Yuan is an investor at the G·M Research Institute, and G·M was involved in a crime busted in M country. Now, M country wants him on the grounds that he is an international fugitive."
The incident with G·M had occurred several years ago, and in a strict sense, Qin Yuan could indeed be considered a fugitive.
