Chapter 202 Monastery Explosion
After all, Ji Ran is coming to our house this weekend, and whether she can leave alive or not will be up to him once she arrives.
“But…” the man hesitated.
How can these doubts be resolved without investigating that professor?
“Come over this weekend, the professor will be there too,” Zeng Nian interrupted.
The man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."
It seems that the professor's lifespan will end this week.
After the two had discussed it, the man left under the cover of night.
Zeng Nian threw the box containing the ring back into the drawer, then turned to face a row of photo frames on the bookshelf and fell into deep thought.
He reached out and picked up one of the picture frames, then took it apart.
Looking at the man whose chest he had crossed out, his eyes once again turned sinister.
Two words were squeezed out from between his clenched teeth:
Qi Mu
He didn't realize that besides resentment, his tone also contained a burning jealousy that he was unwilling to admit.
You'll never beat me!
The photo in my hand was crumpled by the force of the twisting, and there were obvious fingernail marks on the back of the photo.
He stuffed the photo back into the frame, threw it back onto the bookcase, walked out of the study, and slammed the door shut.
What he didn't see was a pair of lifeless eyes at the corner of the corridor.
late at night.
The international news section reported an urgent message.
An explosion occurred at a Vancouver monastery; the number of casualties is currently unknown, and the cause of the incident is under investigation.
At the same time, Ji Ran's phone suddenly rang.
The girl, who was already fast asleep, frowned, clearly annoyed by the intrusive noise.
Qi Mu glanced at the unfamiliar number and subconsciously connected it to some information.
His dark red eyes looked at the girl on the bed. After hesitating for two seconds, he finally stepped forward and softly called out:
"Ran Ran."
"Hmm..." Ji Ran hummed softly, but remained sleepy and did not open her eyes.
"It must be something related to your mother," Qi Mu patiently advised.
A moment later, Ji Ran suddenly opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, grabbed the phone, and swiped to answer the call:
"Hey?"
The person on the other end was a strange man, whose voice was very anxious:
"Professor Ji! This is Yin Li. President Qin is in trouble! Can you come over?"
Ji Ran's heart suddenly leaped into her throat. "Where?"
"I'm at President Qin's villa now. Send me your location and I'll send someone to pick you up!" Yin Li said.
“Just tell me where it is,” Ji Ran said firmly.
Yin Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately gave the Qin family's exact location.
Having obtained the location, Ji Ran hung up the phone, immediately got out of bed, and wanted to get the car keys.
Qi Mu pulled her back.
She turned to look at Qi Mu with some surprise, "What's wrong?"
"I'll take you there," Qi Mu said softly.
He wouldn't let her ride a bike in that condition.
Ji Ran's face was full of worry. The last time she asked him to take her to the Qin Group building, it was because Qin Wenzhou's office was on the top floor. As long as she avoided his assistant and secretary, there was basically no risk.
But he must have a lot of servants at home, right?
Just like Jiang Boshen's family.
"But that's Qin Wenzhou's house. Who knows what his family situation is like? What if he finds out..."
“He already knows,” Qi Mu said calmly.
Ji Ran's eyes widened. "When?"
She didn't recall Qin Wenzhou discovering this.
So Qi Mu stopped hiding it and told her about how he saved Qin Wenzhou when she tried to jump into the river to commit suicide for love.
Ji Ran was shocked, but she suddenly understood why Qin Wenzhou hadn't asked her how she had gotten into his office so easily last time.
But there was no time to think about those things right now, so she nodded to Qi Mu.
Then, the two appeared in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras outside the Qin family villa.
Ji Ran quickly walked around the house and arrived at the main entrance of the villa, where a whole row of security guards in black suits stood.
At this moment, they all became alert because of her sudden appearance.
Ji Ran frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed, and wanted to take out his phone to call back the caller.
Yin Li happened to be walking out of the gate at that moment. He was worried that Ji Ran wouldn't be able to get in smoothly, so he planned to wait for her at the entrance of the villa area.
He was stunned when he opened the door and saw Ji Ran.
"Professor Ji... Professor Ji? How come you..." so quickly?
It was only two minutes after he hung up the phone, right?
Upon hearing this, Ji Ran recalled that this person was the president's special assistant whom she had met at the Qin Group building before.
She stepped forward and asked directly, "What happened to him?"
Yin Li came to her senses, but she was clearly still unable to shake off the shock.
But he still managed to distinguish between primary and secondary matters, and immediately began explaining while leading the way:
"President Qin is injured. Please come upstairs with me."
Ji Ran then went with him.
"How did you get hurt?"
Ji Ran asked, though his voice remained indifferent, it also revealed a hint of worry.
Yin Li was also somewhat surprised, after all, she had always been such a cold and aloof person.
In addition, every time President Qin secretly went to see her before, he would come back looking dejected.
He had only contacted her with a "let's give it a try" attitude, and he never expected her to agree so readily.
So, it turns out that President Qin isn't so pitiful after all.
"President Qin had some business in Vancouver these past two days, but I never expected someone would plant a bomb there," Yin Li replied.
"A bomb?" Ji Ran exclaimed in surprise. "Then wouldn't he...?"
Upon seeing this, Yin Li immediately reassured him, "No, no, President Qin jumped out just seconds before the explosion. He only fell and hit his leg and head, but he managed to fly back overnight before passing out."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ran felt a strange unease, as if her heart had been tugged.
She figured it was probably out of guilt, since she knew there was danger involved, which was why she sent Qin Wenzhou.
I thought that with Qin Wenzhou's power, I could bring my mother back unharmed, but I never expected that the other side would be so ruthless as to plant a bomb.
and many more.
"Then Mom..." Ji Ran hesitated, then awkwardly changed her words, "Um... what about Qiu Lingyue?"
Yin Li paused, seemingly surprised that Ji Ran already knew about her mother, and even more surprised that she knew that President Qin went to Vancouver for her mother's sake.
But this is for the best, otherwise, as an outsider, he really wouldn't know how to explain it to her.
“Miss Qiu is not injured, but…” Yin Li replied somewhat awkwardly.
Ji Ran didn't press for details. She roughly knew her mother's condition, and as long as she was alright, that was all that mattered.
Soon the two arrived at the door of Qin Wenzhou's bedroom.
The door wasn't closed, and Ji Ran could see that there were not only servants coming and going in the room, but also several people in white coats guarding it.
"Assistant Yin." Everyone inside bowed respectfully upon seeing Yin Li.
Yin Li nodded. "You all go out first."
Upon receiving the instruction, everyone was stunned for a moment, then stopped what they were doing and all went outside.
However, their gazes were all drawn to the face next to Yin Li, a face that resembled that wooden woman but was younger and more innocent.
