Chapter 77 - What Big Guts?

Qin Ran was holding her phone while walking slowly with her head lowered when a shadow fell on her from in front.

She didn’t look up, just changed direction and continued walking.

The figure paused for a moment and seemed to find her reaction unexpected.

But he immediately turned around and reached out to stop her.

“Excuse me.” His voice was slightly old, and although he was smiling, his eyes were narrowed as he looked at Qin Ran. He pointed to the Mercedes-Benz not far away. “Our Madam wants to see you.”

He nodded slightly, his tone neither humble nor overbearing.

Qin Ran frowned and stood at the side. She was expressionless and didn’t even raise her head. “Make way.”

She didn’t ask about the car nor who he was. She didn’t even ask who his Madam was. This was obviously beyond the expectations of the old man. Qin Ran’s answer wasn’t something he had expected.

“Madam Feng wants to see you, please come with me.” The old man blocked her path again and said in a heavier tone.

Qin Ran finally looked up. She turned the phone in her left hand and it traced a curvature in the air. Then, she clenched it in her fists and said with cold and dry eyes, “Make way.”

Maybe it was because nobody had ever spoken to him like that, but the old man was frozen in place now.

Qin Ran bypassed him and walked forward.

Within a few steps, she saw Mu Ying.

Qin Ran was obviously in a bad mood. Mu Ying rarely saw her act this coldly.

“Cousin,” she called softly.

“Yeah.” Qin Ran cleared her throat and narrowed her eyes slightly. Her apricot eyes were still cold when she looked up. “What’s the matter?”

“Oh.” Mu Ying glanced at the car not far away and wanted to ask who it was, but she didn’t dare to say more about it when she saw Qin Ran’s expression. So, she just said, “Mother heard that your hand was injured, so she asked me to invite you over on Saturday.”

“How did she know...” Qin Ran clenched her phone and thought for a while before replying, “Sure, I’ll go.”

“Sorry, my cousin has always had a bad temper...” Mu Ying explained to her classmates with her head lowered when Qin Ran had left.

“Wow, her reputation is really well-deserved. She comes with air-conditioning within a meter!”

“I’m so excited!”

“Mu Ying, I can’t believe she’s your cousin!”

“Who was that old man that got off the car? He looks so good!”

Before Mu Ying could open her mouth to explain, the group of people around her had exploded in suppressed, excited voices, and didn’t seem to have just been ignored.

Mu Ying, who still wanted to explain further, stood in a daze for a long time. She stared in the direction of Qin Ran and felt complicated. “I don’t know either.”

When Qin Ran got to the school doctor’s office, Lu Zhaoying was holding his phone and laughing foolishly.

He waved when he saw Qin Ran.

Qi Chengjun had always been busy and should have left after the case, but he had stayed the whole day in the school doctor’s office and was still holding Qin Ran’s answer sheet.

“Qin...”

He opened his mouth, but before he could say more, Cheng Juan walked over from the mannequin, pulled out the answer sheet from his hand, and handed it to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran glanced at it. It was the answer sheet she had copied.

She paused.

Cheng Juan stared at her, then said expressionlessly, “You dropped this here accidentally. I’ve put it away till now.”

Qin Ran nodded and said politely, “Thank you.”

Qi Chengjun was still staring at Qin Ran.

Lu Zhaoying didn’t see it, but he and Cheng Juan had both seen that in this little girl’s seemingly cluttered English answer sheet with a low score, the abcd options actually contained a five letter Morse code.

Morse codes were made by using long and short dots that represented English letters, numbers, and commonly used symbols.

Qin Ran’s five letter Morse code was in order.

It seemed to be organized in the molecular formula of the tungstic acid.

At first, he had wondered if this molecular formula meant anything?

But after Cheng Juan’s reminder, he discovered that the molecular weight of the tungstic acid’s molecular formula was 250. This little girl was scolding people through the answer sheet!

He didn’t know what kind of circumstance she had been in while doing up the answer sheet.

Qi Chengjun sat on the sofa and pressed his finger against his lips as he watched Cheng Juan change Qin Ran’s bandage.

At this time, the school doctor’s office door was closed.

Someone knocked against the door twice, anxious and loud.

Lu Zhaoying’s legs were propped on the table and he said absent-mindedly, “Come in.”

The door was banged open.

Was it so urgent?

Lu Zhaoying squinted and looked up. At one glance, he saw Principal Xu, who was still wearing a suit and holding a briefcase after returning from a business trip.

He quickly lowered his legs and stood up. “Elder Xu, are you here to find Qi Chengjun?”

Qi Chengjun hadn’t noticed the person at the door. He had learned psychology before and was trying to decipher Qin Ran’s psychological thoughts.

Before he could analyze it, he heard Lu Zhaoying’s voice.

Qi Chengjun was stunned for a moment, then he stood up immediately and looked at Principal Xu nervously. “Elder...”

Everyone in the school doctor’s office subconsciously felt that Elder Xu had rushed here to see Qi Chengjun.

However, Principal Xu didn’t even give Qi Chengjun a single glance. He went directly to Qin Ran and Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan had just opened the gauze and was cleaning the edges with an alcohol wipe.

A few days had passed and the wound on her palm had begun to heal. Still a little red and swollen and purplish, it still had traces of the stitches and looked even more terrible than before.

Principal Xu’s expression changed almost instantly. “How did this happen to your hand?”

“Principal Xu?” Qin Ran stared at him in surprise. Then, she looked at her hand and smiled casually. “Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

“Fine?! Doctor, her hand...” Principal Xu’s face was dark. He ignored her and looked up to find that the person who had bandaged her hand was Cheng Juan.

He was shocked for a moment before he said, “With you around, her hand should be fine.”

Principal Xu heaved a sigh of relief.

However, he couldn’t help but give Cheng Juan another glance. This person only received one operation per month and it was already a routine. Then, this...

He was hesitating when he finally noticed the school doctor’s office surroundings.

He was shocked and surprised to see Qi Chengjun standing there. “You’re in Yun Cheng too?”

Qi Chengjun: “...”

He laughed and opened his mouth to say something, only to see that Principal Xu had turned to Qin Ran again.

“Say, what happened? You’re already so big, how could you have injured your hand like this?!” Principal Xu’s expression wasn’t good. He didn’t look at Qin Ran’s hand and only stared at her. “Tell me, what happened to your right hand? Who the hell had the guts to touch your right hand?! Does Feng Loucheng know...”
