Chapter 594 - Nobody Expected It To Be Her
Chapter 594: Nobody Expected It To Be Her
It was Cheng Mu who opened the door.
Inside.
Qin Ran had one hand on the table while holding a ceramic teacup with the other.
She looked toward the door a little impatiently.
She was completely unprepared to see that the person standing at the door was the same person who had insisted on making her wear a jacket just half an hour ago.
Several different emotions hit her, then came silence.
Cheng Juan had just finished reading the message on his cell phone. As he looked up, his expression was unreadable as usual.
The girl in the room, who seemed a little unhappy, was looking back at him expressionlessly.
Both of them didn’t make a move.
It was Cheng Mu who took a step back after just a moment of confusion. He hadn’t figured it out yet. “Master Juan, what are you doing here? Aren’t you going to meet Lone Wolf?”
Cheng Mu’s voice broke the silence. Cheng Juan finally entered the room and then looked at him gently while saying, “Go out.”
Boom.
Cheng Mu didn’t ask for the reason. He simply left and closed the door behind him.
Only after he left the room did Cheng Mu understand what was going on.
Cheng Juan was meeting Lone Wolf at nine in the morning…
…
Inside.
Cheng Juan kept quiet for a while before taking another step forward tentatively. “… Are you hungry?”
Qin Ran wasn’t responding very well to this too.
Her impression of the big boss in Continent F was of someone cruel and violent. That image didn’t fit the Cheng Juan she knew at all.
What exactly was going on?
Cheng Juan was the person she’d once fought with?
Qin Ran finished the drink in one gulp.
No wonder she found his movements at the Cheng household familiar.
She placed the teacup on the table and looked up at him. “Take a seat first, let’s talk. What are you looking for me for?”
She’d thought that the big boss had found out all about her. But seeing that it was Cheng Juan, she knew that it wasn’t the case.
“Collaboration.” Cheng Juan saw that she seemed calm and took the seat beside her rather than opposite her. He refilled her cup with the teapot and said, “Sister Ran, please calm down first.”
“I saw that Giant Crocodile has joined hands with the Ming family and was afraid that something would go wrong in Beijing. That’s why I thought of collaborating with Lone Wolf.” Cheng Juan looked at Qin Ran as she picked up the teacup. “… Giant Crocodile was just offering bait?”
It was known to everyone that the five big bosses of 129 were on very good terms.
Since Qin Ran was Lone Wolf, Giant Crocodile couldn’t possibly be on Ming Hai’s side.
“Mm.” Qin Ran had so much on her mind now, she couldn’t keep up with Cheng Juan’s train of thought. She casually responded, “He’s not really putting out bait, he’s just trying to get the entry approval from Ming Hai.”
From the moment Cheng Juan knew that Qin Ran was Lone Wolf, he realized that the matter in Beijing was easily solvable.
A lot of questions in his mind were answered too.
In Yun Cheng, Lone Wolf, who had disappeared without a trace for a whole year, had taken up his order of all people…
Followed by Cheng Wenru’s incident…
Lone Wolf was a tech genius, so it wasn’t too much of a surprise that it turned out to be Qin Ran.
“I’m planning to wash my hands off it once the Ming family’s case is settled.” Cheng Juan looked at her tenderly and explained, “I was planning to take over the medical organization in Continent M.”
He explained in detail.
“Take over the medical organization?” Qin Ran looked at him. “With one surgery a month?”
“I was fighting for the position in Continent F at that time and didn’t have time for this. But I had a deal with the old man; I had to take up at least one surgery each month.”
Even when he was recuperating in Yun Cheng, he still stuck to it.
“Mm.” Qin Ran took another sip of tea.
“I figured that you were the Q who helped Giant Crocodile, but didn’t realize that you were Lone Wolf.” Cheng Juan flipped the menu casually. “You wanted to tell me about this tonight?”
“Not exactly.” Qin Ran seemed a little uncertain.
She looked up at Cheng Juan with some confusion.
She hadn’t expected herself to live past 19.
Who would’ve known that the first time around, she somehow lived on because of Gu Xichi? After Chen Shulan’s death, she thought that it was all over for her as well, but then Cheng Juan appeared.
“Do you remember fighting with some peasants in July of the Year X7?” Qin Ran thought that she’d be bringing this case up in a life-and-death situation with the big boss of Continent F.
Or that she’d never mention it.
She didn’t think she’d be talking about it this casually.
Cheng Juan suddenly felt a lump in his throat. His voice quivered as he said, “Back then… y-you…”
Back then, after Gu Xichi had told him about it, he’d looked all over Continent M but to no avail.
Qin Ran folded her arms across her chest and said, “How about this, you let me hit you in return?”
Cheng Juan had thought about it for a long time. How nice it would’ve been if he had met Qin Ran earlier, perhaps before the explosion happened, or just a year earlier?
Who would’ve known that they’d already encountered each other back then?
He felt that it was such a blessing he’d chosen to take on Hao Dui’s case. He reached out and embraced her, then kissed her on the head lightly. “… It’s my fault, hit me all you want…”
At the same time.
Chang Ning called Qin Ran countless times, but she didn’t respond.
He turned to ask his subordinate, “Any information from the scouts?”
The subordinate shook his head. “We dared not get too close.”
“Could something have happened?” Giant Crocodile furrowed his brows. “This won’t do, I’d better go and take a look. She’s too good-looking for this to be safe…”
