Chapter 46: 46 Women’s words cannot be trusted!
Looking at the information on the tablet, a storm was clearly brewing in Xie Xuzhi’s eyes.
Hearing the sound of Yun Ran pushing the door open, Xie Xuzhi quickly regained his composure, but his gaze towards Yun Ran, who had changed clothes, carried a hint of wariness.
The last person he was wary of now has tall grass growing on their grave.
"Yun Ran, being able to locate the Imperial Cauldron Club so smoothly is indeed extraordinary. What brings you to me?"
Yun Ran pretended not to notice the faint killing intent Xie Xuzhi was emitting and directly sat opposite him.
Smiling, she said, "I suppose you’ve looked into the incidents that occurred after my return these past two days."
Both parties were intelligent, even somewhat familiar with each other’s capabilities; there was no need to beat around the bush.
Xie Xuzhi nodded. He was wary of Yun Ran, but this was the Imperial Cauldron Club, his territory.
Even if Yun Ran was exceptionally capable, escaping safely from here would not be easy. He didn’t need to show any courtesy to Yun Ran, nor did he need to conceal anything.
"I underestimated you before, Yun Ran. I’m curious, what would bring someone like you to seek me out?"
"I’ve been conspired against, my life chart changed from ’Wealth and Rank’ to ’Heavenly Abandoned Fate.’ Now, despised by the Heavenly Dao, there are things I cannot do myself and need assistance!"
Xie Xuzhi’s hands hidden under the table clenched into fists slightly, his gaze becoming distant, scrutinizing, and with a slightly inexplicable pity as he looked at Yun Ran.
Yun Ran didn’t feel she had any special privileges before the Xie Family; her word alone wouldn’t be taken as truth.
She then narrated how she had been schemed against.
Xie Xuzhi controlled part of the authority in the Special Administration Bureau, but he was not a member of the Xuan Sect; he was more familiar with the Sect from hearsay.
Yun Ran’s words rendered him unusually silent, but she knew he was weighing the pros and cons.
So, she did not interrupt his thoughts but waited quietly.
After a while, Xie Xuzhi’s voice finally emerged, "Do you have any suspects?"
"This scheme, the hardest part is how to deceive the Heavenly Dao without being discovered, else the punishment from the Heavenly Dao is not cheap.
The mastermind behind this wants to ruin my life, making me bear the reputation of being disloyal and unfilial. My own mother is the best instigator.
Over the years, I don’t know how that person instigated my mother to act against me, but I think my mother’s side is the best breakthrough."
Watching Yun Ran speak confidently, Xie Xuzhi was somewhat puzzled by how Yun Ran had been previously so disastrously schemed against.
This skeptical look made Yun Ran feel somewhat guilty; she was not the original owner, but she had to shoulder the consequences of the original owner’s actions and still needed a plausible explanation.
"So, you know, I was young and always yearning for maternal love. Just that it turned out to be a demanding attempt. The pain of my original family, you people embraced by love wouldn’t understand."
As she spoke, Yun Ran even shed a few tears.
Ginsengfruit was stunned watching this; if it didn’t know the situation, it would have been fooled by the Host.
Good lord, as the saying in dramas goes, never trust a woman’s words, especially a beautiful one batting tears, she could deceive someone into bankruptcy.
"Why should you receive this help!"
Neither the Xie Family nor the Special Administration Bureau were charitable places.
Investigating the mastermind behind plotting against Yun Ran would cost a significant amount of resources and manpower.
"You should have seen what I’m capable of. I can unconditionally serve you for two years, plus, I’ll find a way to extend your life."
Xie Xuzhi shook his head, "Two years is too short, at least five years!"
"No, two and a half years at most!"
"Four years."
"Three years."
"Alright, deal!"
Yun Ran: ...
Good lord, she now somewhat doubted whether Xie Xuzhi possessed some mind-reading technique; three years was her bottom line.
"I will assign you a special commissioner’s status; in case of any tricky situations in the future, you will be dispatched as external support."
Yun Ran waited for other instructions from Xie Xuzhi, for instance, regarding how long she must extend his life.
But the guy directly moved to serving tea to see her off, as if extending his life was not important at all.
But she wasn’t the type to impose herself. Since Xie Xuzhi didn’t bring it up, she let it go, which spared her some trouble.
After leaving the room, Yun Ran saw Gu Yuan leaning against the corridor wall with a grin watching her.
"To settle a deal so quickly with our boss, you are the first one, young lady, you have potential!"
Yun Ran, seeing Gu Yuan’s smiling face, did not find him easy to get along with.
She felt he was entirely a smiling tiger, anyone who truly believed his smile would be unwittingly sold.
"How do you know we settled the deal, and not that I was kicked out?"
Gu Yuan’s fingers circled his own eyes: "Naturally, because I have fiery eyes."
Yun Ran did not want to engage with Gu Yuan and turned to head downstairs, her business concluded, it was time to leave.
Gu Yuan, rarely encountering a female he didn’t dislike, quickly followed: "You can’t just wander around here; let me escort you out~"
But then, he was a bit dumbfounded as he watched Yun Ran smoothly go downstairs, not triggering any arrays.
He then belatedly touched his head and muttered to himself, "Isn’t it, how does this girl know arrays?"
Yun Ran left through the front door of the Imperial Cauldron Club, leaving those hidden in the shadows flabbergasted.
"Who is this person, when did they come, why didn’t we see them before?"
"Don’t know, did they arrive in Young Master Xie’s car earlier?"
"Impossible, aside from the driver, there wouldn’t be anyone else in Young Master Xie’s car." freeweɓnovel.cøm
...
These people still had the leisure to chat, utterly unaware that because Yun Ran had successfully infiltrated the ecological area’s natural defenses in just half an hour, they would face what kind of hellish training.
Yun Ran didn’t need anyone to guide her and left the ecological area without taking any detours.
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but mutter in front of Xie Xuzhi: "Boss, this young girl is quite eccentric, if she can’t be used by us, I’m afraid she should be directly eliminated."
A living young girl, talked about being eliminated so casually as though she were not a life but just a pet.
Xie Xuzhi glanced at Gu Yuan, showing no obvious emotion, but Gu Yuan felt a chilling sensation.
"She will serve me for the next three years!"
