Yun Ran looked at Song Ye, then at Song Qi. These two were uncle and nephew? On closer inspection, there really was a resemblance between their eyebrows and eyes.
"Song Qi, why are you here? Aren’t you at work?"
The most bewildered person at the moment was none other than Song Qi. He was just at work as usual, why did it seem like he was slacking off?
"Uncle, I’m one of the leading teachers of the study tour group. I am working right now."
It suddenly dawned on Song Ye that his nephew was a teacher at Xinghua School, and Yun Ran was a student there.
A wave of guilt surged in his heart; due to his job, he hadn’t taken good care of his daughter and seldom saw his nephew, leading to the current awkward situation.
Yun Ran directly stepped forward and interrupted the awkward meeting between the uncle and nephew.
"Captain Song, did you need me for something?"
Mentioning work, Song Ye immediately became a different person. The cluelessness he had shown when answering his nephew was replaced with professionalism.
He pulled Yun Ran aside into a corner. Even with his nephew, he wouldn’t be the least bit careless regarding work matters.
"I’m here because of the incident where you were held hostage yesterday. Zheng Qiang had been specially marked, and there were several others like him before.
But when the police caught them, they either died on the spot, or their hearts stopped suddenly as soon as they opened their mouths during police interrogation.
Later, the relevant department sought help from the Special Administration Bureau, uh, people with methods similar to yours, but they are official.
Someone from the Special Administration Bureau knew that the death mark on Zheng Qiang was lifted by you. To protect your privacy, my superiors found me to negotiate with you."
Yun Ran understood and looked at Song Ye speechlessly. It seemed like the folks from the Special Administration Bureau wanted a freebie! What kind of people were they!
Her tone became a bit unpleasant: "What’s there to negotiate about? It’s just that the person didn’t judge correctly, thinking they picked the weakest one to hold hostage. Turns out, I’m a tough nut to crack.
Letting him die just like that would have been too easy on him. That’s why I lifted the mark so he could properly serve time in prison!"
Song Ye listened to Yun Ran’s rejection but wasn’t in a hurry. He calmly added, "Oh, I forgot to mention, there’s a reward. 500,000 yuan per person!"
Yun Ran, who had just had a ’don’t mess with me’ vibe, suddenly spoke with righteousness: "Assisting the police in eliminating evil and maintaining peace is the duty of every citizen!"
Song Ye knew it would be like this. Talking to this girl about anything other than reward money was pointless.
"Oh, right, what about Zheng Qiang, whom I helped catch yesterday? Does that count for the reward?"
Song Ye: ...
Watching Yun Ran eagerly look at him, he spat out a word: "Yes!"
Yun Ran instantly smiled so widely that her eyes curved, and after looking around to make sure no one was watching them,
she took out the Little Paperman number two that had come into contact with the death mark yesterday.
"This is my treasure. It was thanks to it that I could successfully catch the criminal suspect yesterday. It can also track down other people with the mark based on the scent of yesterday’s mark.
Later, when you catch the others, just directly transfer the reward to the account I’ve provided you with. Oh, and don’t even think about skimming off my money. It knows math!"
The Little Paperman, which had been playing dead, as if it were just a decoration, immediately came to life once Yun Ran told it to go work and make money.
It jumped onto Song Ye, looking ready for him to hurry up and leave so it could start earning money for its master.
Song Ye’s expression seemed frozen, unable to react for a long while.
"Captain Song, aren’t you in a hurry to catch people? You can go now!"
Yun Ran’s words brought Song Ye back to reality, his gaze more complex than ever.
He originally thought that Yun Ran would join them in their pursuit, but the girl, from start to finish, had no intention of getting involved herself and just sent a ’little brother’.
"You... never mind."
Song Ye didn’t know what else to say and just left with the Little Paperman. At least in that moment, he had no doubts about its usefulness.
Poor Song Qi, who had just been sitting on the lobby sofa, thought he could have a meal with his uncle after he finished his business.
But then he watched his uncle stride away without so much as a greeting for him.
In his twenties, for the first time he felt a little melodramatic, actually feeling like crying due to his uncle’s neglect.
Thinking about the upcoming reward money, Yun Ran found Song Qi especially pleasing to the eye today.
She directly gave him a Vajra Talisman she had drawn extra the day before: "This is a good thing. It’s for you."
The tears he had been brewing were immediately swallowed back. It seemed his uncle was indeed his Noble!
Yun Ran then hummed a tune and returned to her room. After resting for a while, she would go out to set up her stall. In a good mood today, everything from fortune-telling to buying talismans would be 20% off!
"Today is a good day, everything I wish for will come true, today is a good day..."
Little Fatty was sneakily lurking, watching Yun Ran so pleased, he hurriedly stuffed the gifts Xiao Sun had brought from home into Yun Ran’s hands.
Then he turned and ran, as if afraid Yun Ran would catch him and refuse his offerings.
Ginsengfruit leisurely commented, "Look at what you’ve done to poor Little Fatty. He’s giving you a gift like he’s committing a crime."
Yun Ran immediately took offense: "Hey, whose System are you anyway? Why are you bending your elbow outwards?"
"Hmph, who told you to slack off when you had a chance to earn Merit, and to show off, too? As the greatest peace System, I strongly condemn you!"
"You’re just a System, what do you know? Humans are complex, their hearts unpredictable. If one doesn’t want to be swayed by others, they must stand firm. Otherwise, they’ll be at the mercy of others and sooner or later fall into the hands of Evil Cultivators!"
Ginsengfruit couldn’t win the argument with Yun Ran and went silent.
Yun Ran examined the gifts sent by the Zhu Family. There was even a hundred-year-old Ginseng among the top-notch nourishments.
It seems the Zhu Family had understood her intentions in refusing their heavy reward. They didn’t plan to entangle further, so they sent these items as a settlement for the favor. Yun Ran accepted them without hesitation.
In the afternoon, when she set up her stall, because it was at the foot of General Mountain with a large flow of people, there were many other stalls selling all sorts of peace charms and Luck Charms.
Yun Ran setting up a little fortune-telling booth didn’t seem odd, it was just her youth that drew frequent curious glances from passersby.
Some were thinking of joining the fun, but when they saw a sign next to it saying, "2000 yuan per fortune, 20% off today, must pay if accurate, three fortunes a day!"
They were scared off immediately and retreated several steps as if afraid that getting too close would result in being defrauded.
