Hao Dui turned and glanced at Cheng Mu before nodding. “Oh.”
He wasn’t interested anymore and stopped asking.
“I read the file from three years ago.” Hao Dui turned and walked out. “I went to Yun Cheng’s criminal investigation team.”
**
A few days later, the scars on Qin Ran’s hand were almost healed.
Recently, Cheng Juan, Lu Zhaoying, and the others had been busy. Hao Dui guarded her like a wolf and Qin Ran rarely went to the school doctor’s office.
She laid on the table with her eyes slightly closed. Her school uniform was pulled up to cover her chin.
Beside her, Lin Siran was explaining a question to Xia Fei.
“Lin Siran, where did you get this notebook from?” Xia Fei pointed to the notebook that Lin Siran had been referring to and asked.
Lin Siran turned and glanced at her. “Ran Ran gave it to me.”
But she seldom looked at it.
“I feel like the name is so familiar...” Xia Fei pointed to the three smooth words on the first page thoughtfully.
Lin Siran smiled and wasn’t bothered by this. “There are so many people in the world. Hundreds of people in the nation could have this name.”
It was nothing strange.
“But...” Xia Fei shook her head. “I’ve definitely seen it before.”
Xia Fei was so adamant about it, so Lin Siran couldn’t help but pick up the notebook and turn over a few chapters. The words were written very seriously and every point was clearly explained.
The focus was also very clear.
Lin Siran was fascinated by it and only returned to her senses when the afternoon self-study was over.
“Ran Ran, where did you get the notebook from?” Lin Siran finally realized that Qin Ran had given her a treasure.
“Someone gave it to me.” Qin Ran blinked and looked at Lin Siran with her eyes squinted casually.
Her eyebrows were lazy and smooth.
Lin Siran knew Qin Ran quite well and didn’t ask more.
Instead, she copied Qin Ran, laid on the table, and talked about something else. “Ran Ran, it’s the school’s anniversary a few days later. Our class has organized a program, do you want to...”
In fact, this program had already begun since school started.
It was the 50th anniversary, so the school attached great importance to it.
At that time, Qin Ran hadn’t transferred to class 3.9 yet.
After Qin Ran turned around, she was a little cold and amused. She was good looking, but the entertainment committee didn’t dare to ask her. Until a few days ago, when they finally relented and asked Lin Siran to be the middlewoman.
Before Lin Siran even said anything, Qin Ran put a book on her head and said in a dull voice, “I reject.”
Lin Siran looked at her face in distress and said she was too arrogant.
Qin Ran put on her headphones.
She was too noisy.
**
After school in the afternoon, Qin Ran and Lin Siran went downstairs together.
She always left late. She just got out of school when the same old man wearing a suit stopped her again.
His attitude was tough and persistent. “Ms. Qin, Madam is looking for you.”
This time, there were two bodyguards wearing black clothes behind him.
Not far away, students cast doubtful glances over at them.
Qin Ran took a deep breath. “Fine, I’ll go with you.”
Five minutes later.
In a room not far from the school.
Madam Feng was sitting by the window, looking at the girl sitting opposite with a steely face.
“You’re the female student that Feng Loucheng pushed away all his work to see at night?” Madam Feng held the teacup in her hand elegantly, but her stare was full of thorns and ridicule.
Qin Ran sat opposite her expressionlessly.
Although she had always been cold, she was mostly casual and careless, with the frivolity of it being a game.
Her delicate face was expressionless at the moment, and her eyes were deep and hazy.
“You hid deep enough.” Madam Feng threw the teacup on the table with a bam. “Should I say that you’re highly skilled?”
“What do you want?” Qin Ran took a deep breath, her voice undulated.
But her eyes looked heavy.
Hot and dry.
“Leave Yun Cheng.” Madam Feng glanced at her. “Don’t try to find Feng Loucheng in vain. You’re a student and can’t compete against me.”
Qin Ran smiled coolly.
Her hand tightened around the cup and she said, “Madam Feng, you’re always like this, dominant and willful. You have no care for anyone’s life...”
She lowered her eyes and almost smashed her cup at the person in front of her.
But at that time, her cell phone rang—
It was a melodious sound of music.
Qin Ran looked down. It was the alarm clock Cheng Juan had set for her, and there was a note on it—
Apply the green bottle of ointment.
Her violent outburst was calmed a little.
Qin Ran took a deep breath.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. “Uncle Feng, come over to Jingse Cafe.”
**
Qin Ran didn’t wait for Feng Loucheng to come. After the phone call, she went out.
As soon as she walked out of the cafe, she saw Lu Zhaoying calling her at the door of the private restaurant opposite.
Qin Ran’s footsteps paused. She squeezed her phone and bit the candy in her mouth, thinking for a while before walking over to them.
Qi Chengjun was absent.
But Cheng Mu, Cheng Juan, and Hao Dui were all there.
“Why aren’t you in school?” Cheng Juan hung up his phone and lowered his head to ask her.
Qin Ran smiled, her face calm. “I came out to meet someone.”
Cheng Mu and the others all heard it, but they thought that Qin Ran meant she was just meeting a fellow classmate and didn’t think much about it.
Cheng Juan ignored the others, lowered his head, and directly asked Qin Ran, “Shall we eat lunch together?”
Qin Ran didn’t feel hungry when she was talking to Madam Feng just now. She didn’t even drink the tea and also didn’t eat the dessert.
But now that Cheng Juan asked, she did indeed feel a little hungry.
Qin Ran followed Cheng Juan into the restaurant. Lu Zhaoying wasn’t interested in the case and also followed them.
The three of them ate for less than ten minutes before Cheng Mu and Hao Dui came in.
They looked listless.
Lu Zhaoying touched his ear studs and propped his legs up, unsurprised. “Why, Team Leader Qian doesn’t want to see you?”
Hao Dui sat down silently and didn’t say anything.
Although he was the captain of the Beijing criminal investigation team, there were many such teams in the country. Although this Team Leader Qian was only in Yun Cheng, his reputation was even higher than that of Hao Dui.
Lu Zhaoying grinned, looked at Cheng Juan, and then at Qin Ran.
Finally, he put a piece of meat onto his bowl, then glanced at Qin Ran and explained, “Team Leader Qian is Yun Cheng’s criminal investigation team’s captain. He became famous three years ago. The most important thing is that he joined a detective agency three years ago, so you have probably never heard of him. This detective agency isn’t open to the public.”
