nQin Ran did not have many contacts saved on her cell phone. Chen Shulan’s doctor’s number was the first on the list.

nWhen she received the call, her mind began buzzing. She did not even have the time to explain herself as she left the class.

nShe ran in the rain and arrived with water dripping off her hair.

n“Medicine, that’s what we need.” The doctor took a step back subconsciously. “We initially thought that we could use another substitute medication, but your grandma’s heart condition deteriorated just now. That’s when we realized that she’s resistant to the other medication.”

nThe Lin family and Qin Ran paid up a lot of money.

nSo the doctor had been using the CNS medication that was still being researched on in the laboratories. It hadn’t even been given an official medical name beyond its symbol “CNS”.

nThey were out of the medication yesterday, so he used a substitute. Who would’ve known that Chen Shulan was so averse to other medicine?

n“There is stock in the capital, but it’d take three days for the procedures to be done and all.” Lin Jinxuan looked at Qin Ran and pursed his lips.

nQin Ran thought. “Three days…”

n“I can only guarantee her life for five hours. We need the CNS in five hours, or we can transfer Ms. Chen to a hospital in the capital. They have the resources, but the risk is that she might be infected during the transfer.” A distance away, a few doctors came over and gave a conclusion after much discussion.

nNing Qing, who had been sitting right outside the anti-bacterial room, finally snapped back to her senses. “Then let’s contact the hospital in the capital!”

n“No!” Qin Ran refused without hesitation.

nNing Qing, Ning Wei, Lin Jinxuan, and the other people in the hallway looked at her in shock.

nQin Ran slowly looked up. Her eyes were red and deep beyond measure. Her hair was all over her face from running in the rain, and her expression was as dark as the rainclouds.

n“Grandma cannot go to the capital!” Qin Ran scanned their faces one by one as she made her statement.

nLin Jinxuan thought for a bit but couldn’t think of another solution.

nHe did not expect Qin Ran to be against this decision.

nNing Qing was stunned. “What are you saying? If she doesn’t go to the capital, we’re going to watch her die here in Yun Cheng.”

n“Shut up! She won’t die.” Qin Ran turned away. “Doctor, I’m counting on you for the next five hours.”

nThe doctor-in-charge looked at Qin Ran.

nQin Ran always looked so casual and easygoing. But now that she was cold and distant, those eyes looked deep and even scary.

n“Then, after the five hours, the patient…” One of the other doctors spoke.

nBut the doctor-in-charge interrupted and said, “We can only keep her alive for the next five hours. Beyond that, it’s out of our control.”

nQin Ran reached for her cell phone in her pocket. “I know.”

n“No, Doctor. Don’t listen to her. She doesn’t know anything! We’re going to the capital.” Ning Qing was extremely anxious.

nThe doctor handed an indemnity form for Qin Ran to sign.

nQin Ran skimmed through it, found that it was alright, and signed on it.

nThe doctor-in-charge took it back and said to Ning Qing apologetically, “Ms. Lin, before Ms. Chen fell into an unconscious state, she’d appointed Miss Qin as her first contact. We have to take Miss Qin’s word for it.”

nWith that, the doctors got to work to stabilize her condition as much as possible temporarily.

n“Qin Ran, what exactly are you doing?” Ning Wei was very angry. “She’s your grandma!”

nQin Ran avoided eye contact with her. She simply gave her a pat on the back. “Little Aunt, don’t worry. Grandma will be fine.”

nNing Wei was still in her office wear. “Are you sure?”

n“Don’t worry.” Qin Ran searched for a number on her cell phone and walked towards the elevator.

nNobody picked up on the other end.

nQin Ran stuffed her cell phone back in her pocket and took out the other thick, black cell phone. She clicked a few keys and two screens came on.

nIf Hao Dui was here, he definitely would’ve recognized that this was similar to what Qian Dui’s technical personnel was holding.

nShe scanned the surroundings and found an empty spot to put down the screens.

nQin Ran immediately input the thumb drive and tapped away on the keyboard. Soon, a video appeared.

n**

nCapital.

n129 Club.

nChang Ning was sitting in the meeting room, discussing something with a few other ordinary members. Even ordinary members of this camp were few and far between and were rather highly regarded in the capital.

nThere were even fewer higher class members of the 129 Club. Each of them was the cream of the crop.

nA tab suddenly opened on the computer screen in front of Chang Ning. It was obvious that someone was using a fake account.

nHe clicked the green button.

n“Taking a client’s request…” He smiled. But right after that, he realized that the account had sent him a video, not a voice memo.

nAs the founder of the 129 Detective Agency, Chang Wei had witnessed much chaos in the outside world. And yet, his face was all red now as he slammed the table.

nHe was losing it as he watched the screen.

nIt was a rainy scene, and there was a young girl in the video.

nHe could see that her eyes were deep, her face fair, and even after being drenched in the rain, her features were exquisite.

nThat girl was still in a school uniform and a jacket that had “First Middle School” printed on it.

n“L-Lone Wolf?!” Chang Ning lost his calmness.

nLone Wolf was well known in the 129 Detective Agency. Seven years ago during a hacker situation, Lone Wolf had found a way to beat two of 129’s members.

nWith that, Chang Ning invited Lone Wolf.

nBut he never expected Lone Wolf to be a female, and one so young at that?!

nOver the next few years, 129 Detective Agency became more established and stable. The few higher class members began guessing who Lone Wolf really was. After all, this was the only person who used just one account consistently.

nThey dug up old records of syndicates and alliances, but none of them matched Lone Wolf’s identity.

nHow was it possible?!

nThat was because they never guessed that this Lone Wolf was in a middle school!

n“It’s me.” This time, Qin Ran did not use the voice changer function on her headphones. “Do you know the medication CNS? My grandma’s condition is critical.”

n“Hold on.” Chang Ning had to recover from his shock. He remembered that Lone Wolf only ever listened to her grandma. He minimized the tab and searched the keyword online.

nIn less than two minutes, he got a result. “There are no stocks in the capital. The last batch was shipped two days ago to the neighboring state. He Chen is there now. If she takes the earliest flight on First Class, she can be there at about midnight.”

nIt took time to get past all the checkpoints and such.

nMidnight…

nQin Ran’s eyes flickered. “Give me He Chen’s personal phone number.”

nSeeing that Qin Ran urgently needed it, Chang Ning did not say more. He sent a series of digits to Qin Ran immediately.

n**

nWhat was the fastest way to get someone past all the checkpoints and customs? Faces flashed in Qin Ran’s mind.

nShe eliminated each one of them until only one was left.

nShe took the other cell phone out and made a call.

nSchool.

nThe school’s medical office.

nCheng Juan was leaning back in his seat, staring at an anatomy model. He still had a blanket on him when the phone rang.

n“What is it?” He straightened up as he saw the caller ID and picked up.

nQin Ran kept the thick, heavy cell phone, and her voice was more hoarse than before. “Do you know how to get someone back in the country in the shortest time possible?”

n“Which airport?” Cheng Juan stood up immediately and hurled the blanket onto the couch with a serious expression.

nQin Ran was quieter than ever before as she gave him a reply.

n“Give me the person’s details. I can get him back in three hours.” Cheng Juan squinted.

nHe immediately made another call after hanging up on her.

nLu Zhaoying saw that Cheng Juan was going out and shouted, “Master Juan, umbrella!”

nCheng Juan did not stop.

nCheng Mu quickly grabbed an umbrella and caught up with him.

nLu Zhaoying had never seen Cheng Juan like this. But he couldn’t go along like Cheng Mu, he had to help Cheng Juan man the counter.

nThe sky was still dark and gloomy.

nDark clouds were hanging overhead, almost oppressing.

nThree hours later.

nAt Yun Cheng Airport, a 26-year-old lady in a dress alighted from the plane, before immediately getting onto another helicopter.

n10 minutes later, the helicopter landed on the roof of the hospital.

nCheng Juan was waiting with an umbrella, with Qin Ran standing beside him. It was pouring and the surroundings were rather misty.

nHe Chen got off the helicopter.

nShe went straight for the only female on the roof and exclaimed, “Whoa, you really are just a middle school student!”
