Chapter 108 Suspicion Arises

Wolf Fang is a legendary figure.

According to seniority, their godfather was of the same generation.

He is ruthless, calculating, vicious, and enjoys violence.

He is most famous for his ability to hide his abilities.

He enjoys violence and taking lives.

It can also effectively conceal one's figure.

He makes it impossible for you to catch him.

He also likes to stir up trouble, and once he sets his sights on you...

It's like being targeted by a pack of wolves, a fight to the death.

When Langya was the leader, their city was in a particularly chaotic state.

Every day, there are mass violent incidents, bloody fights, and no peace and quiet.

One day, this legend suddenly disappeared.

Legend has it that one of Wolf Fang's adopted sons betrayed him and killed Wolf Fang.

There is also a legend that Langya fell in love with a girl, but she refused him. So he killed the girl's entire family. Her only younger brother escaped and sought revenge on Langya.

There is also a legend that Langya was killed by mistake when he was fighting with someone over a woman.

There are many different opinions about his death.

However, the consensus is that he is a very capable and terrifying person.

"How did he end up here?"

"They came here the same way we did. If they weren't powerful figures, why would they be able to stir up this world?"

Zhou Ran suspected that there were even more powerful figures behind this.

Judging from his previous style of doing things, he seems to have ruthless methods.

However, there is another force at play, whose leader is more prudent, more calculating, and more secretive and restrained.

It has a completely different style from Wolf Fang.

One is a cunning fox, the other a ruthless wolf.

As someone who knows Zhou Ran inside and out, Qiu Dun guessed Zhou Ran's worries.

"Are you worried that there's someone even more powerful lurking behind this?"

"Hmm, this person is smarter, more secretive, and more careful. This time, he made his move but left no trace."

Zhou Ran thought of the doctor; he must be more than just a double agent.

"What do you want to do? How can we help you?"

Qiu Dun stared intently at Zhou Ran.

Ning Rui raised her fist, looking eager to try.

"What are you thinking? This isn't the hellish place under our chaotic system. Here, we uphold the rule of law. No matter how well he hides, we can still catch him."

Zhou Ran's previous seriousness vanished, replaced by a relaxed smile.

"I hate that look on your face. You're planning to handle this yourself. Can't you trust us for even a little bit? We can help."

After things were discussed openly, Qiu Dun became more relaxed and expressed his dissatisfaction directly.

If he had kept it to himself before, he would never have said a word in rebuttal to Zhou Ran.

At least they know how to communicate now, which is already a good improvement.

Zhou Ran patted his arm reassuringly.

"I know, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't have any plans for the future."

After this devastating blow, their strength was greatly weakened.

They will bide their time for a period of time, not daring to make any rash moves.

Only after accumulating enough strength and being confident will one take action.

I also plan to use this time to bide my time and cultivate my own personnel.

Xia Chenggan's people are too troublesome, and Li Quan and Fu Xuan's people are less capable.

As for the people from Shaoyang, they are more suited for assistant roles and are not needed.

I need to have my own people, and these people need to be ruthless and swift in their actions.

I don't have anyone I trust right now, so please get better soon so I can help you!

Zhou Ran earnestly explained her plan to Qiu Dun.

Qiu Dun's expression softened after hearing what he said.

That's right, they are the ones who trust each other.

"Don't worry, this is just a minor injury. I'll be discharged soon. Leave this to me."

"Okay, sure."

After Zhou Ran finished comforting one of them, she turned to meet Ning Rui's excited gaze.

She also wants to participate in today's embarrassing scene.

"You should just be a good Mrs. Hill."

"Ah! Why can't I help?!"

Ning Rui looked at Zhou Ran with resentment, as if this made her seem useless.

Although she is indeed useless, she has an ambitious heart.

"Alright, I'll ask for your help when I need it, like this time."

"Mhm."

Ning Rui nodded in satisfaction, like a child who had just received candy.

After calming down the two people,

Zhou Ran went out to find a doctor, wanting to inquire about Qiu Dun's condition.

They happened to run into Servais, who was returning from shopping.

Zhou Ran pulled the person to a corner.

"This matter is almost over. Take Ning Rui back to China."

"She wants to stay here with you for a while."

"No need, it's not safe here right now. Take her away and protect them."

Servis felt increasingly pressured by Zhou Ran's deep gaze.

His brother-in-law is quite a character; his gaze is even more intimidating than that of his father.

"Okay, I'll get them away as soon as possible."

Only after receiving the assurance did Zhou Ran leave to find the doctor.

The doctor, who had already been taken to the hospital by ambulance, was being examined by police officers.

Hospitals are always noisy and busy.

When they arrived, they ran into a patient who had been in a car accident.

The doctors and nurses running around in the emergency room are racing against time to save every patient's life.

The doctor was given emergency treatment because the situation was unclear and X-rays were needed, as well as an internal medicine consultation.

The policeman was a kind-hearted middle-aged man.

He stayed by the bedside, surrounded by the sounds of busy activity.

I wish I could split myself into two people.

The injured were wheeled in with the ambulance, and a pregnant woman also ran in.

The bed was right next to them.

The pregnant woman was terrified and kept crying, her hands and face covered in blood.

The man surrounded by emergency room doctors was likely the pregnant woman's husband.

Another person was pushed onto the bed opposite. The pregnant woman rushed over to see what was going on, but was stopped by the nurse.

The bed opposite was occupied by a girl; judging from the pregnant woman's voice, she must be her sister.

The police couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this scene.

A car accident, what a tragedy for the family!

The driver who caused the accident was quickly brought in; his legs were covered in blood, but he was still conscious.

The pregnant woman rushed excitedly towards the driver when she saw him.

The nurse quickly pulled the woman away, but the petite and frail nurse was no match for the frenzied pregnant woman.

He was suddenly pushed by the pregnant woman and fell over.

Upon seeing this, the police rushed over and helped the nurse up.

They blocked the pregnant woman from rushing past and worked with the nurses to calm her down.

The nurse noticed something between the pregnant woman's legs and called for the police to help her quickly get to bed.

After helping the pregnant woman settle in, the police officer wiped the sweat from his face and returned to his previous position.

The injured doctor, who should have been lying in bed, was nowhere to be found.

Yes, they've disappeared.

"Holy crap! Where did everyone go?!"

The police quickly searched the vicinity; the doctor was injured and couldn't have gone far.

While searching for the person, the police urgently called their colleagues.

After searching around and not finding anyone, the police rushed into the monitoring room and retrieved the surveillance footage from that time.

The surveillance footage clearly shows him helping to persuade the pregnant woman.

The doctor got out of bed and staggered outside.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I bumped into a doctor wearing a white coat, a mask, and a floral headscarf.

He helped the doctor up, and then the doctor fell on top of him. He dragged the doctor to the bed next to him and pushed him away.

Then they disappeared from the surveillance footage, and the nearby cameras never saw them again.

The police searched along the route they had just seen and eventually found the safety passage on the side.

A truck with a trash can outside the emergency exit opened the trash can.

They found the white coat that had been discarded inside.

Now it's clear: someone impersonated a doctor at the hospital and took their suspect away.

It wasn't until the next day, when Zhou Ran went to the police station to give a statement, that she learned of this situation.

Do you know who their accomplices are?

Zhou Ran shook her head in confusion.

The only accomplice he knew was Shao Ying, and he recounted the events of the past few days.

The gist of the story is that they threatened Xia Chenggan with his life to help keep the Xia family in check.

He answered questions about what happened at the Xia family's residence.

"At that time, I heard Liu Si Nian, the fake steward, say that I should kill Xia Chenggan."

How could I? I like Xia Chenggan so much, how could I hurt him? I pretended to rush over.

I saw him attack the doctor, so I rushed over to help.

I was trying to stop him as soon as possible and threatened him, but he slipped and the knife was stuck in his neck.

"Waaah, I didn't mean to kill anyone!"

Zhou Ran's eyes were red, and tears were streaming down her face.

His eyes were filled with fear of killing and panic at the situation.

The police asked her several more times, and Zhou Ran answered them intermittently.

After the statement was taken, the police told him that he needed to cooperate with the investigation at any time and not to leave the city.

Zhou Ran nodded obediently, and Xia Chengjun accompanied her away.

After they left, in the room on the other side of the interrogation room.

Fang Yuan looked at Song Ai.

Did you see him lying?

"You suspect him?"

Song Ai didn't answer, but instead asked Fang Yuan a question.

"Hmm. His style of doing things is too different. I investigated Zhou Ran's information."

His behavior differed from what was stated in the records, but this was revealed in the surveillance footage submitted by the Xia family.

He matches the information very well; this person is very difficult to deal with.

Fang Yuan's judgments were based on his usual experience.

Song Ai frowned. "Could I see the surveillance footage?"

"Can."

Song Ai watched all the videos and had the same feeling as Fang Yuan.

"Everything said in the interrogation room was true; I didn't detect any lies."

However, the fear he displayed was not a genuine emotion.

Zhou Ran's behavior in this surveillance footage is completely different from how she appears in the monitoring room.

Song Ai pointed to a surveillance video.

"From the moment she entered the door, Zhou Ran felt fear, hesitation, and worry, which is all normal."

But from this place…

Song Ai fast-forwarded the surveillance footage to the scene of the assassination attempt on Xia Chenggan.

"This shows that Liu Si Nian was controlling Zhou Ran and making him kill Xia Cheng Gan."

Mind control is a long-term process; Liu was able to control Zhou Ran four years ago.

They've been hypnotizing or manipulating Zhou Ran lately.

Make him listen to you and do impulsive things.

If Zhou Ran could do all this, it's either because she used medication or because her willpower was too weak.

If it were medication, Zhou Ran wouldn't have suddenly regained consciousness.

If Zhou Ran's willpower was weak, he would have been even less likely to do so without any assistance.

He broke free from control solely through his own willpower. (Author's note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.)
