Qin Ran raised her eyebrow and continued calmly rubbing her hair without a word.

Gu Xichi put on his coat and peeked at the computer. “Wait for me for half an hour.”

Then, he drove over to Qin Ran’s hotel. There was no traffic early in the morning and he could reach in half an hour.

“Okay.” Qin Ran nodded.

Gu Xichi reached out to hang up and shut down the computer.

While going downstairs, he put on his coat.

He grabbed his car key on the living room table and left.

**

At the hotel, Qin Ran threw the towel onto the table after wiping her hair.

Instead of using a hairdryer to continue drying it, she reached out to turn off the lights and poured herself another gla.s.s of water.

Turning off the computer page where Gu Xichi had already hung up, she returned to the main page. On it, the wallpaper was still the oppressive desert color and only had a white arrow on it.

Qin Ran stared at the computer for a long time, pursed her lips, and reopened the editing page.

She typed out a string of c.u.mbersome codes on the keyboard.

The lights in the room were turned off and the light from the computer screen reflected on her eyes. They were clear and cold, exuding a faint chilly aura.

She pressed the “enter” key with her slender and white fingers directly before directly exiting from the search engine.

Qin Ran retrieved Chen Shulan’s ID photo from the computer; she had found it amongst Chen Shulan’s things last time.

Qin Ran knew that Gu Xichi still had something to tell her just now, but she had not asked further.

Qin Ran only knew of Chen Shulan’s radiation after arriving in Yun Cheng. Before that, she thought Chen Shulan’s problem was just ordinary organ aging.

But seeing Gu Xichi and Cheng Juan’s reactions, it was obviously not the case.

Radiation?

What kind of radiation was so strong?

Qin Ran pursed her lips and put Chen Shulan’s photo in the search bar. This was the first time she was searching for Chen Shulan’s information on the search engine.

Chang Ning had given her a copy before, but it had not been too detailed.

Three minutes later, all of Chen Shulan’s information appeared.

There was not much information.

Qin Ran opened them one by one and started to browse down from the beginning.

At the same time.

In the next room.

Lu Zhaoying was still awake. He was too excited after seeing Sun G.o.d today, so he called Jiang Dongye and Cheng Mu over to drink again.

During dinner at night, Cheng Juan did not let them drink because of Yi Jiming and Yang Fei.

“I wanted to find Qin Ran.” Lu Zhaoying opened a bottle of beer. Under the light, his earrings reflected a chill as he continued, “Why did Yi Jiming call her G.o.d Qin?”

Lu Zhaoying felt like things were more complicated than he had imagined.

He wanted to find Qin Ran to talk about this, but she would probably just look at him lightly and ignore him.

Cheng Mu did not go at night and was not sure what happened.

He sat on the opposite side of the sofa and paused when he heard Lu Zhaoying. “Yi Jiming called Miss Qin G.o.d Qin?”

Cheng Mu was different from Jiang Dongye, he knew of Yi Jiming.

Other than Yang Fei, he was the second most popular member of OST.

“Why?” Cheng Mu put down his beer and asked Lu Zhaoying.

Lu Zhaoying took a sip, narrowed his eyes, and stood up after a moment of thought. He then took out his mobile phone from the table and clicked on Qin Ran’s profile before sending a sentence—

[Are you asleep?]

She did not reply.

Three minutes later, she still did not reply.

When dividing the room at night, Qin Ran just happened to stay in the room next to Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying. After thinking for a while, Lu Zhaoying decided to go over to find her.

Their rooms were 3606, 3607, and 3608. Qin Ran was in 3607 and Cheng Juan was in 3606.

Jiang Dongye was originally leaning on the sofa and drinking slowly.

But after hearing Lu Zhaoying, he stood up immediately and put the bottle on the table with a “boom”. “No, Young Master Lu should not bother with this kind of thing. I will go, I will go!”

Without giving Lu Zhaoying the opportunity to speak, he directly opened the door and left.

His movements were so smooth and quick that it almost seemed rehea.r.s.ed.

His tall and slender figure disappeared.

Lu Zhaoying, who had already stood up, was frozen in place, speechless.

Cheng Mu was long accustomed to it and sat blankly on the sofa.

Next door.

Jiang Dongye stood in front of Qin Ran’s door and straightened his clothes. Then, he raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

Qin Ran was still looking at Chen Shulan’s information in the room.

From beginning to end, all the information and life resumes seemed very normal.

There was no trace of where she could have faced radiation.

She put her hand on the mouse and stared at the screen blankly.

When she heard the doorbell, she immediately switched to the computer’s main page.

“Who’s looking for me so late?” Qin Ran turned and turned on the lights.

She was still wearing a bathrobe and it was loosely tied. Her hair was still wet and formed two bunches hanging on either side of her, dripping water down her collarbone.

Jiang Dongye did not expect her to take a bath the moment she came back, so he just stared at her face and dared not look elsewhere. “Lu…”

Before he could finish speaking, the door of room 3606 also opened. He had just taken a shower and his dark hair was still dripping with water.

A pair of good-looking eyes stared directly at Jiang Dongye with a raised eyebrow. “What are you doing here so late?”

Jiang Dongye was speechless and suddenly regretted being so diligent.

“No, Master Juan, I can explain. Lu Zhaoying wanted to talk to her.” He turned quickly and looked at Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan’s eyes swept past him to Qin Ran and he said in a lowered voice, “Go back inside and sleep.”

Qin Ran glanced at the two of them and nodded before going back inside.

She took a sip of water.

The phone on the table lit up and she saw Gu Xichi’s message appear on the lock screen page: [I’m here. You’re in 3607, right?]

Gu Xichi had just gotten out of the elevator door.

Everyone could access the elevator even without a card.

He pressed on the b.u.t.ton for the 36th floor.

Looking down on the WeChat chat page on his phone, he saw that Qin Ran had yet to reply.

He glanced in the direction of 3607 and walked over.

There was a figure standing in the middle. Gu Xichi lowered his head to send a message to Qin Ran and said without looking up, “Sorry, please make way.”

He wore a white s.h.i.+rt inside and a long trench coat that reached his knees.

His figure appeared especially long.

Jiang Dongye had just finished talking to Cheng Juan and was preparing to return to Lu Zhaoying’s room. When he heard this, he took a step aside.

But this person’s voice sounded pretty good.

He turned his head slightly and saw Gu Xichi stuffing his phone into his pocket.

The photo of Gu Xichi in Jiang Dongye’s hands had been from several years ago, but Gu Xichi did not look much different. Jiang Dongye looked at the photo every day and could recognize him even if he became ashes.

Not to mention the side profile.

But Jiang Dongye could not believe it and just pointed at Gu Xichi in shock. “What the f*ck, who are you?”

Jiang Dongye was familiar with Gu Xichi, and Gu Xichi also knew about Jiang Dongye. Matthew and Qin Ran had sent Jiang Dongye’s information to him several times.

When Jiang Dongye pointed to him, Gu Xichi did not even have time to think about why he was here.

He reached into his pocket, directly took out a silver needle, and stuck it into Jiang Dongye’s neck.

Jiang Dongye slammed onto the carpet in the hotel corridor.

Gu Xichi withdrew the silver needle calmly.

Standing condescendingly next to Jiang Dongye, his delicate brow furrowed and he walked over to 3607 and knocked on the door.

Qin Ran opened the door immediately and let him in.

“Why is that dog here?” Gu Xichi walked inside in a daze and reached for a cigarette in his pocket. “He scared me.”

After thinking for a while, he glanced at Qin Ran again and leaned on the sofa. “Pack your things, let’s go first. I will not be able to escape if the dog’s men are here.”

Gu Xichi was not afraid of Jiang Dongye if they were to fight alone.

After all, Gu Xichi had many tricks up his sleeves.

But if Jiang Dongye’s group of dogs were here, Gu Xichi would find it hard to escape.

Qin Ran packed her stuff and shut down her computer page calmly. Then, she closed the lid, walked over to the water dispenser, poured a gla.s.s of water for him, and said lightly, “He followed me here.”

Gu Xichi responded casually while reaching for the water.

He took out his lighter again to light the cigarette, but before he could do so, he finally reacted to what Qin Ran just said. He turned his head rigidly and stared at Qin Ran. “Babe… did I hear wrongly?”

Qin Ran sat back in his chair and raised an eyebrow. “No, Jiang Dongye came with me.”

She had also been surprised and shocked to receive Gu Xichi’s watermarked doc.u.ment.

“Relax, I have already hacked the corridor monitoring. Jiang Dongye is not your opponent.” Qin Ran crossed her legs arrogantly and said casually, “He will not be able to find you.”

“Tell me, what’s going on between you and Jiang Dongye? Are you really going to be entangled?”

“I’m not sure. The laboratory in Beijing has been looking for me.” Gu Xichi sighed in relief and glanced at Qin Ran faintly. He paused for a moment before continuing, “I don’t know if I can return to the Middle East if I go to Beijing. But that dog is really annoying.”

Last time, Jiang Dongye had almost found him, so Gu Xichi did not dare to go to the Middle East anymore.

Qin Ran held her chin in one hand and stared at Gu Xichi. “Do you want to meet him and make things clear?”

“Wait, let me ask you a question first. How is your relations.h.i.+p with Cheng Juan?” Gu Xichi spat out a smoke ring slowly and glanced at her quietly.

“It’s alright?” Qin Ran narrowed her eyes and thought for a while before replying.

“If I can’t settle things with Jiang Dongye, which side will he take?” Gu Xichi lowered his cigarette and looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran laughed and said rather firmly, “Yours.”

Gu Xichi raised an eyebrow and bit his cigarette. “As long as he stands on your side. I finally found a chance to torture him. I’ll go home first, you can bring them over tomorrow.” He naturally knew that Jiang Dongye could only be able to find him so many times because of Cheng Juan’s support.

He naturally included Cheng Juan in the word “them”.

Qin Ran stared at Gu Xichi’s back and fell deep in thought. He seemed to trust Cheng Juan quite a bit.

Early the next morning, Jiang Dongye pressed his head and got up from the bed. His handsome face was twisted slightly and he clenched the quilt fiercely with his fingers before saying word by word, “Gu. Xi. Chi.”

His phone showed a message from Lu Zhaoying telling him to join them for breakfast on the 22nd floor.

He was not as diligent today and his expression was dark.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhaoying touched his earrings and asked.

Jiang Dongye bit on a loaf of bread and ignored him, then looked at Cheng Juan. “How did I get back to my room last night?”

“Cheng Mu dragged you in.” Cheng Juan looked up at him.

Cheng Mu walked over with a stack of bread.

Hearing this, he nodded. “Young Master Jiang, how did you faint in the corridor?”

“Did you see anyone around when you found me?” Jiang Dongye ground his teeth.

Cheng Mu shook his head.

Lu Zhaoying asked anxiously, “No, how did you faint?”

He glanced at Cheng Juan and did not dare to ask if he had beaten him for entering Qin Ran’s room.

“Before I fainted, I saw Gu Xichi.” Jiang Dongye bit onto his bread fiercely.

Shocked, Cheng Mu stared at Jiang Dongye in disbelief. “Gu, Gu Xichi?”

The impressive diamond big boss, the one that both Matthew from the Interpol and the guy from the slum housing were friends with?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Qin Ran silently again and shrank away.

He realized that Gu Xichi had probably come to find Qin Ran…

“Yes, him.” Jiang Dongye took another sip of water.

Cheng Juan reached out and knocked on the table, raising an eyebrow. “Hurry up and eat. We still have somewhere to go after this.”

“I’m not going.” Jiang Dongye pinched the chopsticks in his hands and stared fiercely in front of him. “I’ll call my men here.”

Qin Ran paused.

Fine, you are the one who doesn’t want to go.

However, Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes and said softly, “No, you want to go.”

Jiang Dongye was speechless.

Twenty minutes later, after eating breakfast, they all went down to take the bus.

Jiang Dongye was reluctant to go, so he called someone on his phone and prepared his men to look across Devil City.

Cheng Mu drove the car according to the address given by Qin Ran and drove straight to a manor.
