nHao Dui turned and glanced at Cheng Mu before nodding. “Oh.”

nHe wasn’t interested anymore and stopped asking.

n“I read the file from three years ago.” Hao Dui turned and walked out. “I went to Yun Cheng’s criminal investigation team.”

nA few days later, the scars on Qin Ran’s hand were almost healed.

nRecently, Cheng Juan, Lu Zhaoying, and the others had been busy. Hao Dui guarded her like a wolf and Qin Ran rarely went to the school doctor’s office.

nShe laid on the table with her eyes slightly closed. Her school uniform was pulled up to cover her chin.

nBeside her, Lin Siran was explaining a question to Xia Fei.

n“Lin Siran, where did you get this notebook from?” Xia Fei pointed to the notebook that Lin Siran had been referring to and asked.

nLin Siran turned and glanced at her. “Ran Ran gave it to me.”

nBut she seldom looked at it.

n“I feel like the name is so familiar…” Xia Fei pointed to the three smooth words on the first page thoughtfully.

nLin Siran smiled and wasn’t bothered by this. “There are so many people in the world. Hundreds of people in the nation could have this name.”

nIt was nothing strange.

n“But…” Xia Fei shook her head. “I’ve definitely seen it before.”

nXia Fei was so adamant about it, so Lin Siran couldn’t help but pick up the notebook and turn over a few chapters. The words were written very seriously and every point was clearly explained.

nThe focus was also very clear.

nLin Siran was fascinated by it and only returned to her senses when the afternoon self-study was over.

n“Ran Ran, where did you get the notebook from?” Lin Siran finally realized that Qin Ran had given her a treasure.

n“Someone gave it to me.” Qin Ran blinked and looked at Lin Siran with her eyes squinted casually.

nHer eyebrows were lazy and smooth.

nLin Siran knew Qin Ran quite well and didn’t ask more.

nInstead, she copied Qin Ran, laid on the table, and talked about something else. “Ran Ran, it’s the school’s anniversary a few days later. Our class has organized a program, do you want to…”

nIn fact, this program had already begun since school started.

nIt was the 50th anniversary, so the school attached great importance to it.

nAt that time, Qin Ran hadn’t transferred to class 3.9 yet.

nAfter Qin Ran turned around, she was a little cold and amused. She was good looking, but the entertainment committee didn’t dare to ask her. Until a few days ago, when they finally relented and asked Lin Siran to be the middlewoman.

nBefore Lin Siran even said anything, Qin Ran put a book on her head and said in a dull voice, “I reject.”

nLin Siran looked at her face in distress and said she was too arrogant.

nQin Ran put on her headphones.

nShe was too noisy.

nAfter school in the afternoon, Qin Ran and Lin Siran went downstairs together.

nShe always left late. She just got out of school when the same old man wearing a suit stopped her again.

nHis attitude was tough and persistent. “Ms. Qin, Madam is looking for you.”

nThis time, there were two bodyguards wearing black clothes behind him.

nNot far away, students cast doubtful glances over at them.

nQin Ran took a deep breath. “Fine, I’ll go with you.”

nFive minutes later.

nIn a room not far from the school.

nMadam Feng was sitting by the window, looking at the girl sitting opposite with a steely face.

n“You’re the female student that Feng Loucheng pushed away all his work to see at night?” Madam Feng held the teacup in her hand elegantly, but her stare was full of thorns and ridicule.

nQin Ran sat opposite her expressionlessly.

nAlthough she had always been cold, she was mostly casual and careless, with the frivolity of it being a game.

nHer delicate face was expressionless at the moment, and her eyes were deep and hazy.

n“You hid deep enough.” Madam Feng threw the teacup on the table with a bam. “Should I say that you’re highly skilled?”

n“What do you want?” Qin Ran took a deep breath, her voice undulated.

nBut her eyes looked heavy.

nHot and dry.

n“Leave Yun Cheng.” Madam Feng glanced at her. “Don’t try to find Feng Loucheng in vain. You’re a student and can’t compete against me.”

nQin Ran smiled coolly.

nHer hand tightened around the cup and she said, “Madam Feng, you’re always like this, dominant and willful. You have no care for anyone’s life…”

nShe lowered her eyes and almost smashed her cup at the person in front of her.

nBut at that time, her cell phone rang—

nIt was a melodious sound of music.

nQin Ran looked down. It was the alarm clock Cheng Juan had set for her, and there was a note on it—

nApply the green bottle of ointment.

nHer violent outburst was calmed a little.

nQin Ran took a deep breath.

nShe took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. “Uncle Feng, come over to Jingse Cafe.”

n**

nQin Ran didn’t wait for Feng Loucheng to come. After the phone call, she went out.

nAs soon as she walked out of the cafe, she saw Lu Zhaoying calling her at the door of the private restaurant opposite.

nQin Ran’s footsteps paused. She squeezed her phone and bit the candy in her mouth, thinking for a while before walking over to them.

nQi Chengjun was absent.

nBut Cheng Mu, Cheng Juan, and Hao Dui were all there.

n“Why aren’t you in school?” Cheng Juan hung up his phone and lowered his head to ask her.

nQin Ran smiled, her face calm. “I came out to meet someone.”

nCheng Mu and the others all heard it, but they thought that Qin Ran meant she was just meeting a fellow classmate and didn’t think much about it.

nCheng Juan ignored the others, lowered his head, and directly asked Qin Ran, “Shall we eat lunch together?”

nQin Ran didn’t feel hungry when she was talking to Madam Feng just now. She didn’t even drink the tea and also didn’t eat the dessert.

nBut now that Cheng Juan asked, she did indeed feel a little hungry.

nQin Ran followed Cheng Juan into the restaurant. Lu Zhaoying wasn’t interested in the case and also followed them.

nThe three of them ate for less than ten minutes before Cheng Mu and Hao Dui came in.

nThey looked listless.

nLu Zhaoying touched his ear studs and propped his legs up, unsurprised. “Why, Team Leader Qian doesn’t want to see you?”

nHao Dui sat down silently and didn’t say anything.

nAlthough he was the captain of the Beijing criminal investigation team, there were many such teams in the country. Although this Team Leader Qian was only in Yun Cheng, his reputation was even higher than that of Hao Dui.

nLu Zhaoying grinned, looked at Cheng Juan, and then at Qin Ran.

nFinally, he put a piece of meat onto his bowl, then glanced at Qin Ran and explained, “Team Leader Qian is Yun Cheng’s criminal investigation team’s captain. He became famous three years ago. The most important thing is that he joined a detective agency three years ago, so you have probably never heard of him. This detective agency isn’t open to the public.”
