Chapter 1842 One-eyed deaf? Blind? Don't recognize him.
"Auntie is still so busy." Zhang Ran's eyes were full of respect when she mentioned Yao Lan. In order to be a good judge, she has also lost a lot. Some people praise her, and some people belittle her, but she has always persisted and never forgotten her original intention.
Changing the subject, he suddenly asked, "So when are you two getting married?"
The usually aloof Qiao Xi blushed instantly, glancing shyly at Cheng Mingtai before answering Zhang Ran, "I'll get married after I graduate, and you absolutely have to come." She knew very well how busy Zhang Ran was usually, either busy with work or busy being sued.
When she's about to get married, she should remind Zhang Ran to behave herself and not cause trouble during that time, otherwise if she gets arrested, she won't get to see her in a wedding dress.
"Come on, I'll definitely come," Zhang Ran readily agreed.
Halfway through the banquet, the others gradually left.
Many people took time off work to come over, and it was already a great honor for Xia Wei to attend the wedding and have a meal.
After Zhang Ran finished the last dish, the other tables were empty except for Cheng Mingtai and a few others, plus the groom Mu Mingqi and Xia Wei.
"I'm so glad you could come today." Xia Wei hadn't seen Zhang Ran for a very long time. She looked her over carefully and found that she hadn't changed at all, just like she had a few years ago. But over the years, she had heard news about Zhang Ran from Cheng Mingtai, and each time it was terrifying.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we're leaving now." Cheng Mingtai stood up and said goodbye to Xia Wei and Mu Mingqi.
Qiao Xi also greeted them, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Ran, thinking they would leave together. However, seeing that the bride and groom seemed to have things to say to Zhang Ran, she didn't ask any further questions. She only said to Zhang Ran, "If you're not in a hurry to leave, come to my house for dinner sometime." Zhang Ran had made her fortune, and her parents had long wanted to meet her, but they hadn't had the chance yet.
"Okay." Zhang Ran nodded to her and watched her and Cheng Mingtai walk out of the restaurant.
Xia Wei already knew her husband wanted to speak with Zhang Ran alone, so she took the initiative to talk to Er Ya. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mu Mingqi and Zhang Ran walk to a corner of the restaurant to talk, without leaving her sight.
"Confirmed news: Luo Laoliu has gone missing, and the underworld is in chaos." Mu Mingqi lowered his voice, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Ran. "Many forces want to take advantage of his disappearance to seize the Huo family's territory."
"Even if he's disappeared, his men aren't pushovers." Zhang Ran thought to herself, it would be better if they all died in a fight to the death. She longed for the world to end so everyone could die together—how wonderful that would be!
“You’re right, but someone has switched sides at the last minute.” Mu Mingqi looked at Zhang Ran and asked, “He’s nicknamed One-Eyed Dragon. Have you seen this person?”
"One-eyed deaf? Blind? I don't know him." Zhang Ran pretended to be stupid.
Mu Mingqi knew immediately that she was talking nonsense again, and said bluntly, "Originally, One-Eyed Dragon was Huo Xiao's right-hand man. Later, when Huo Xiao lost power, he was the first to betray him and join Luo Laoliu."
"Now that Luo Laoliu has disappeared, he has betrayed us again and joined forces with the old man's adopted son, Hai Ge."
"The old man doesn't trust anyone, not even his own son Huo Xiao. He treats his adopted son Hai Ge as the sharpest knife, so naturally, he hands over most of his power to Hai Ge."
"He disappeared a few years ago. Some people say he died at Huo Xiao's hands, while others say he was secretly killed by Luo Laoliu's men. Unexpectedly, he reappeared right after the old man died and Luo Laoliu disappeared, and took over half of the power."
"As for the other half of the forces, they still believe that Luo Laoliu is still alive."
