Chapter 60: Terrified Chief, Come to the Door

Why was Qin Ran with an old man in the middle of the night?

Driving a Mercedes...

There was a sense of familiarity in that person’s back.

Qin Yu pursed her lips.

Not far away.

“Oh,” Qin Ran stood leaning against the door of the car. Her whole figure was hidden in the shadow from the wall and she tilted her head sideways, having a slight headache. “There’s no need for such trouble.”

“I inquired about it, you’ll make up for whatever you eat.” Feng Loucheng put an insulation container in her left hand and persuaded her carefully. “Nourish your skin.”

“Okay, just this time,” Qin Ran had a headache and said sincerely.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Feng Loucheng just looked at her like an old father and didn’t promise nor refuse.

Qin Ran returned to the bedroom with the container.

“What’s this?” Lin Siran helped her open it and took a bowl.

Wu Yan was taking a bath in the bathroom. Qin Ran sat down on a stool, her eyes down, her feet laying lazily on the table. She leaned back and said, “I don’t know.”

Lin Siran unscrewed the lid and looked inside: “...”

Pig’s foot soup, wolfberry, and a hint of Chinese medicine.

Lin Siran was sitting in another chair, lying on the table watching her drink soup. “Ran Ran.”

Qin Ran turned her head to the side and squinted her eyes slightly. She was slightly relaxed and her voice was quite low. “Yeah?”

“As for our self-study and discussion on the class speech contest in the evening, our only senior high school event, would you join me?” Lin Siran blinked with her hand on her chin.

“I have to add on to the number of people?” Qin Ran glanced at her with an eyebrow raised.

“No, you know, you are now the face of our class!” Lin Siran’s eyes flashed. “You just have to stand in front and read the speech we wrote. I’m certain we’ll score five points higher than the other classes.”

As the campus belle, Qin Ran was indeed class 3.9’s face.

It turned out she was selling her face. After drinking the soup, Qin Ran thought for a moment and nodded, easygoing. “Sure.”

The next day, the Lin family welcomed another guest.

“Deputy Shen?” Lin Qi thought for a moment. The Lin family had no relationship with the political world. There were so many intricacies there, and the politicians cherished their plumage and didn’t interact easily.

Only Lin Jinxuan knew Feng Ci, but even so, he wasn’t close to him.

As Deputy Shen approached, Lin Qi and Lin Wan were very cautious.

Lin Qi personally poured tea to Deputy Shen.

“Deputy, you’re looking for me because of my stepdaughter?” Lin Qi and Deputy Shen didn’t have any relationship, so he knew the motive behind his arrival immediately.

Deputy Shen held the water, his expression very bad, his tone sincere. “I didn’t have any choice, so I could only come and find you. What happened that night was all a misunderstanding. As long as Ms. Qin agrees to privatize the matter, I will owe her a favor.”

Lin Qi had also been running around for Qin Ran’s affairs yesterday, but who knew that things would have changed so much in one day.

He looked at Lin Wan and knew that things weren’t simple.

Lin Qi was expressionless. He put down his teacup and laughed. “Ran Ran doesn’t stay here. This matter...”

“To be honest, the Chief is paying attention to this matter.” Deputy Shen smiled bitterly. “There were indeed internal affairs after investigating deeper into Ms. Qin’s case. As long as you’re willing to help me, you can come and find me if the Lin family needs help in the future.”

As a businessman, this business really did work.

Deputy Shen’s favor wasn’t so easy to come across.

But Lin Qi didn’t agree and was ambiguous. “This matter depends on Ran Ran.”

When Deputy Shen was gone, Lin Wan pressed her eyebrows. “Brother, why didn’t you agree?”

“We can relay the message for him.” Lin Qi shook his head, his expression calm. He said slowly, “But we can’t agree in Ran Ran’s place.”

Ning Qing looked at the two of them, holding the phone thoughtfully.

Not far from First Middle School’s door.

The black car drove carelessly.

Lu Zhaoying was drowsy in the passenger seat. “Master Juan, that Xu Shen was brought to the detention center. I asked for Qin Ran and Pan Mingyue’s file in Ninghai Town, but I couldn’t find everything.”

Lu Zhaoying thought it was strange.

Normally, as long as the Chief asked for it, such files were easily transferred over.

He glanced over at Cheng Juan, who still hadn’t moved, and raised his eyebrows. Cheng Juan had been the most active one before.

Cheng Juan was sitting behind, leaning halfway on the window. His head tilted slightly and looked outside lazily, quiet and attentive.

Lu Zhaoying felt he was weird and glanced over.

He suddenly smiled.

“Ah— isn’t that Qin Ran? Why is she coming out?”

Cheng Mu, who was driving, glanced at Cheng Juan’s dark eyes in the rearview mirror and stepped on the brake subconsciously.

Master Juan indeed got out of the car.

Cheng Mu couldn’t help but take a closer look at Qin Ran.

He muttered in his heart that he still didn’t know what was so good about this high school student.

Qin Ran had been called out by Mu Ying.

She still hadn’t answered Ning Qing’s call. Ning Qing could only go to the school and call Mu Ying to go to Class 3.9 to find Qin Ran.

There was a coffee shop in front of the school, which was quite quiet and had no private rooms.

Ning Qing and Lin Wan sat by the window.

“Why are you looking for me?” Qin Ran pulled the chair aside and sat with her legs crossed.

She looked like she had no manners.

She hasn’t slept well lately, so her eyes were bloodshot and her expression cold and annoyed.

Her figure was lazy and she lowered her head halfway, not looking nearly as strong as she did at the police station a few days ago.

Like a hooligan.

Lin Wan looked at her and frowned subconsciously.

Those who would sit on the seat of the Chief were usually people with inside information and who were familiar with the movements of the city.

She took the coffee, drank it, and looked away.

Ning Qing’s eyes turned to Qin Ran’s left hand. She was holding a mobile phone in her left hand and her fingers were long and smooth.

Her right hand was slightly exposed and the thread gauze could be seen.

Ning Qing remembered that she wrote with her left hand and was left-handed.

She was relieved that her left hand was fine.

“Your hands... are you okay?” Ning Qing uneasily grasped her wallet and said.

“It’s ok, I won’t become crippled.” Qin Ran kicked the trash can beside her.

Ning Qing didn’t know what to say and just opened her mouth.

Qin Ran ran out of patience. She frowned and was quite irritable. “Is there anything else? Otherwise, I’ll leave first.”

Ning Qing looked at Qin Ran and clutched her purse even tighter. “Your injury doesn’t seem to be a big problem. About Xu Shen...”

Qin Ran leaned back, squinting at her indifferently.

Ning Qing remained silent for a while.

Lin Wan put the cup on the table. She looked at Qin Ran and spoke slowly as if she was on higher grounds. “Qin Ran, I don’t wish for Xu Shen’s matter to go to the courts.”
