Chapter 487: Taking the Hook

Then I noticed a pink light emanating from the woman's eyes.

Tu Ran cried out inwardly, "Oh no!", but it was too late.

She still felt weak all over and had no strength at all.

"You can't move. My hypnosis skills are top-notch."

After the woman finished speaking, her hands suddenly transformed into sharp claws and attacked Tu Ran's face.

At the critical moment, an arrow suddenly flew over from nowhere.

Forcing the woman to give up attacking Tu Ran and protect herself.

"who?"

"come out."

"How dare you ruin my good deeds."

As soon as he finished speaking, a second wave of arrows came, obviously faster than the previous one.

Seeing that she couldn't take advantage of him, the woman gritted her teeth and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."

Then the woman flashed and disappeared, leaving only a thick white mist.

Waiting for the white mist to dissipate...

Tu Ran was shocked to find that there was an old man sitting in front of her. She had seen this old man before.

I also saw it in my dream...

"It's you?" Tu Ran was surprised.

The old man stroked his beard with a smile.

"It's rare that you still remember me, old man."

"I'm in a dream?" Tu Ran then realized that he was in a dream.

The old man nodded.

"That woman just now was..."

"It's just a powerful monster, not worth mentioning."

"Thank you for saving me." Tu Ran clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

The old man's eyes were slightly complicated. "Actually, you don't need me to save you at all. Your mental strength has always been strong, but you are in a weak state now. Your vitality has been greatly damaged, so that thing took advantage of you."

"You know?" Tu Ran was even more surprised.

"You shouldn't have taken action today." The old man looked at Tu Ran word by word.

Tu Ran immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.

It was the moment that made Xie Huailan faint at the end.

In fact, a little poison was used before, just to make those people dizzy, which is not a big deal.

Anyway, she is a Chinese medicine practitioner, so detoxification and poisoning are no problem for her.

But in the end, he was able to gather energy in his palms, causing Xie Huailan to faint out of nowhere.

This is beyond the capabilities of normal people...

It is destined to be backfired.

This is the rule of nature. If you violate the rules, you will be punished.

Tu Ran is not a nosy person.

But this time, in order to prevent Xie Huailan from revealing her mother-in-law's secret, she actually violated the rules.

Therefore, the backlash force seriously damaged her vitality and left her in a weak state.

It feels like your phone loses 80% of its battery in an instant.

It can be made up, but it takes time.

Replenishing this kind of energy is not just about eating good food and getting more sleep.

It is quite troublesome, or rather, this qi is not called qi, but qi.

Although they have the same pronunciation, they have completely different meanings.

The innate qi has been the must-win pursuit of many great practitioners from ancient times to the present.

Some people spend their entire lives without owning anything.

And Tu Ran was born with such a luxurious thing.

She thought that she was the only one who knew this secret, and her grandfather didn't know it.

I didn’t expect that the white-bearded old man in the dream knew so much.

"I really can't just sit back and watch." For some reason, Tu Ran trusted the old man in front of him.

"Of course it's not for my mother-in-law. I'm not such a mean person. If someone treats me badly, I'll repay him with kindness. I do this entirely for..." Tu Ran didn't finish his words.

"It's for Xie Nancheng." The old man interrupted her.

"Yes, it's for Xie Nancheng."

"His mother raised him, and he wouldn't want to see anything happen to my mother-in-law."

"But have you ever thought about this? This is their fate... You shouldn't interfere with cause and effect. Anyone who interferes with cause and effect will definitely be rejected by heaven."

"I understand the reason, but I don't regret it."

"You are such a silly girl. If I hadn't come today, those little monsters would have taken half of your life. Your husband can't save you. He is just a mortal." The old man emphasized.

"I know."

"Old man, why did you save me?"

"I do."

Tu Ran: ...

"Old man, I cannot repay you for saving my life. If you can use me..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go back. You're weak, so you should sleep less. You'll be easily targeted in your dreams."

After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

The next second, Tu Ran woke up from his dream.

As soon as I woke up, I saw Xie Nancheng staring at me.

"Why are you looking at me?" She said in a weak voice.

"I think you're pretty."

"Don't give me that..." Tu Ran felt a little embarrassed and turned his head away.

Seeing that she wanted to get up, Xie Nancheng quickly helped her up.

"Come on, change your clothes, and I'll take you to dinner."

"I don't want to go out. I'm not hungry."

"You still have to eat, be obedient." The boss was coaxing him like a child.

"No, I really can't eat it."

"Then have it sent home to eat."

Before Tu Ran could say anything, Xie Nancheng had already taken out his cell phone to make arrangements.

He even called Mu Wanjun and asked her to accompany Tu Ran for a while.

Mu Wanjun was naturally willing to come, and she couldn't wait to come and ask about everything that happened today.

After all, the internal affairs of the Xie family were widely spread outside, but no one knew what happened.

Mu Wanjun arrived soon, and the dishes sent from the private restaurant also arrived.

After giving the instructions, Xie Nancheng went out to do his work.

At this moment, Father Xie was already sitting in Bai Yueguang's house drinking tea.

"Huaiyu, is the matter resolved?"

"Yeah, nothing happened."

"I saw on the news that someone was arrested and brought back."

"It's my second sister."

"ah?"

"It's okay, she deserves it."

"Huaiyu, calm down first. You're old and can't get angry easily. It's not good for your liver. Here, drink some of this. This is the lemon water I made. It's good for detoxification."

Qiao Kelan is extremely gentle and always speaks in a soft voice.

Even between her eyebrows, she could see the favor that time had shown her.

"good."

Mr. Xie was indeed in a bad mood and had originally returned to the old house.

But after taking two bites of the meal, his wife started nagging again and scolded Xie Huailan in front of the old lady.

He said that if it weren't for her mischief, there wouldn't be so much unrest at home.

What can the old lady say?

My own daughter has already gone to jail, and she was sent there by my own grandson.

After Mr. Xie tried to persuade him for a few times, his wife went crazy and said that his elbows were bent outwards.

Father Xie was so angry that he dropped his chopsticks and drove out.

And as they drove, they arrived at Qiao Kelan's house.

Qiao Kelan had already eaten, but she still made dumplings for Xie Huaiyu first.

The cabbage and pork ones are particularly delicious.

After dinner, the two began to chat again. Father Xie found that he could indeed find a sense of peace in his heart with Qiao Kelan.

"Huaiyu."

"I actually have a question I'm not sure whether I should ask."

"You ask." Father Xie looked at the white moonlight in front of him and felt that everything about her was pleasing to the eye.

"Why doesn't your wife like your daughter-in-law?"

"Is it just because you can't have children?"

"But I saw a news report today saying that she actually wanted her goddaughter to marry your son, right? But I think your daughter-in-law has done nothing wrong, so it wouldn't be a good idea to break up the couple, right?"

"Huai Yu, I'm sorry, I'm just an outsider and shouldn't say these things." After saying that, Qiao Kelan deliberately lowered his head with a look of guilt on his face.

"Kelan, why do you think so? I don't treat you as an outsider." Dad Xie immediately took the bait.
