Chapter 44 I'll Pretend to Be This X

The way everyone else looked at Zhou Ran changed.

Are you threatening me?

"With your level of Chinese, I wasn't threatening you at all..."

Zhou Ran raised her head high, "I'm looking down on you."

The other party stood up angrily, and a clear sound of smashing and breaking came from the other side.

Zhou Ran sat calmly in her seat, waiting for things to calm down.

With a calm and composed demeanor, as if everything was under control.

Despite being surrounded by countless enemy troops, I remain steadfast and unmoved.

The aura of a great general is overwhelming.

The middle-aged man standing to the side couldn't help but stare at Zhou Ran intently, his eyes burning with desire.

This prompted Qian Kong to look over, his mind racing. Was this man a pervert? Had he taken a fancy to Young Master Zhou?

When will I still have such thoughts?

Can't you see your husband is about to explode with anger?

The person on the other end finally finished venting and quieted down, then walked back to the screen.

"You little brat, I'll show you what happens when you anger me."

“You are very smart, and you guessed correctly. I set up a self-destruct system on that island in advance. That will be your final resting place.”

The other party's tone was ferocious and manic, as if he intended to tear Zhou Ran to pieces.

Qian Kong and the others were sweating profusely. Zhou Ran wasn't afraid of death, but they were. Once the system was activated, they would perish on this godforsaken island.

"Really? You're willing to part with it? This is all the hard work you've painstakingly built up, the time, experience, and money you've invested."

To create something like this in such a strict place.

There must be some unspeakable secret. Now, because of a small mistake, all their efforts have been in vain.

Years of hard work destroyed in an instant, are you willing to accept that?

I'm not reconciled! Who could be reconciled? Just hearing these descriptions makes my heart ache.

No one knows better than him how much effort and money he poured into building this island.

He smoothed over so many relationships, and it was all because of those stupid people who suddenly wanted to mess with Xia Chenggan and his group, causing so much trouble.

They even took him to his precious base, forcing him to abandon his hard work.

His experiment will soon yield results; give him a little more time, and he will be able to return to his country with his head held high.

He made those who looked down on him and those who mocked him look at him with admiration, no longer daring to laugh at him, and only praising him.

How could he accept this?

How could I accept this?

Qian Kong looked at Zhou Ran with surprise. How did he manage to control the other person's emotions with just a few words?

This boy has such abilities; he really underestimated him before.

Looking back on my actions, I don't think I've offended anyone. Thank goodness.

Such a clever person is not suitable to be an enemy.

He's not smart enough to handle it, so he'd better just listen to him.

"On another note, even if you blow this place up, can you still go back?"

Losers have no home.

Seeing that the other party had fallen silent again, Zhou Ran added fuel to the fire.

Even if you escape safely and go back, are you sure you can live for a long time?

A worthless piece of trash, a stray dog ​​fleeing in panic.

Can he live for one day? Two days? One week? Two weeks?

Don't worry, you definitely won't last more than a month.

When the time comes, it won't be us foreigners who want you dead.

Rather, it's your closest family members.

"Tsk tsk, you won't even get a decent funeral then."

Zhou Ran's words were like knives, stabbing people until they were completely wounded.

She wanted to get angry, but she knew that everything Zhou Ran said was true and represented the predicament she would face in the future.

That's why he still chose to talk to Zhou Ran even after discovering he had been exposed.

If he could save this place, even if it was just to buy him some time to get the things out and give him a chance to make a comeback, he would be willing to take the risk.

"You've won. What are your terms?"

After hearing just a few words from Zhou Ran, the middle-aged men were able to calm their leader down and make him admit defeat; the light in their eyes was now barely concealed.

Looking into those increasingly blatant and intense eyes.

He had no doubt that if the video hadn't been on and he hadn't been there, the middle-aged man on the other side would have pounced on him immediately.

Qian Kong stepped forward, blocking some of the middle-aged men's burning gazes.

Protect our underage, unscrupulous children.

“Simple, I want to take Xia Chenggan with me.” He’s his current golden goose, his long-term meal ticket, and he must take him with him.

"no problem."

The other party's leader agreed very readily, as he absolutely hated this trouble.

Xia Chenggan had brought him a lot of trouble, and he was the one who most wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

"Tell me, who is behind this?"

The other party's leader was silent for two seconds, then readily uttered a name. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to work with you."

That's all?

The boss on the other side was somewhat incredulous. He ran over and gave him a hard time.

They blew up his ship, came over to confront him, threatened him, and provoked him.

Just for these two trivial matters?

That's it?

this?

The boss on the other side was starting to have an existential crisis.

There's always that awkward feeling of thinking a question is a death sentence, only to find it's an easy one.

"It's that simple. If you hadn't arrested Xia Chenggan, I wouldn't have bothered with you."

He wouldn't have bothered to make a move if he hadn't kidnapped his powerful backer.

He's a fake young master now, a pitiful little thing, and he still has to rely on sucking up to others to reach the pinnacle of his life.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, before a long pause was followed by a slow, deliberate remark.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I had kidnapped your lover. This wasn't my idea. Believe me, I never intended to hurt you."

Qian Kong and the middle-aged man suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder he didn't care about Young Master Gu's life or death and insisted on storming the enemy camp alone; it turns out he's having an affair with Young Master Xia.

No wonder Young Master Xia never had any scandals before; it turns out he likes men and even has a lover. Tsk tsk, I never expected the truth to be like this.

This was Qian Kong's inner grumbling.

No wonder they only made that one condition at the end; they're a couple! What a beautiful love story.

This is what middle-aged people think in their hearts.

[She said that such a beautiful woman like him offered herself up, but Young Master Xia showed her no tenderness whatsoever, and she thought it was because she wasn't pretty enough. Now she realizes it was because the gender was wrong.]

This is a grumbling from code name 1.

Zhou Ran immediately flew into a rage and jumped up and down.

"You're his lover, your whole family is his lover! How can you use such foul language! Haven't you had enough of your good life? Let me show you what I'm capable of!"

That's utter slander! How could he possibly be that heartless guy's lover?!

You blind fool, no wonder you've only managed to build a rat's nest all these years!

idiot!

"I was wrong, I won't say it, I won't say it."

Seeing the other person readily admit their mistake, he had a gut feeling that if he didn't quickly explain himself, the consequences would be unbearable.

"snort!"

She got up and left with an air of arrogance, and Qian Kong quickly followed, as did Code Name 1.

The middle-aged man wanted to join in, but then suddenly realized that he and Zhou Ran were not on the same side.

Who are you? What do you want?

The video call hadn't ended when suddenly there was a gasp, followed by the sound of things falling to the ground with a clatter, and a jumble of voices.

Then, after the initial panic subsided, a human face appeared in the video.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your cooperation."

"You're welcome. Catching spies is every citizen's duty. We'll also take over here; there'll be a surprise for you. I'll have someone send you the address."

"Okay, thank you."

Qian Kong's phone rang, and he quickly sent the address information.

Somewhat bewildered, they looked at Zhou Ran. Didn't they just say they were going to make a deal? Why did they call the police to arrest someone?

"I didn't say what kind of deal I made with him. Did we say what the deal was for?"

Qian Kong carefully recalled their previous conversation, and it seemed that they hadn't actually discussed what constituted a transaction.

Zhou Ran did not agree to stop arresting people after the transaction was completed.

Thinking about it this way, Qian Kong's gaze towards Zhou Ran changed.

Every move he made, every word he uttered, was meticulously planned.

The ultimate goal is to extract information and, at the same time, capture the person.

The plan is meticulously crafted, leaving no stone unturned. This kid is terrifying!

You absolutely must not offend him.

"Let's go, let's rescue Young Master Xia. Have someone bring Gu Tingxiao down."

Zhou Ran looked at the middle-aged man.

"good."

The middle-aged man quickly ordered someone to bring it over.

"Is the medical equipment here comprehensive?"

This sentence is addressed to codename 1.

"Yes, we have the most advanced instruments in the world here."

"Then Gu Tingxiao's life is in your hands. Only by saving his life can you live."

"yes."

Code Name 1 nodded quickly. She had just watched the whole thing and knew that this young master Zhou was not someone to mess with.

This place will soon be taken over by the authorities. Only by protecting Gu Tingxiao can she gain a favor, and only then will the Gu family step in to save her life.

After the middle-aged man gave the order, Xiao Pao walked over with a big smile on his face.

“Mr. Zhou, I will take you to pick up Young Master Xia.”

Zhou Ran looked him up and down before reluctantly nodding, "Mm."

The middle-aged man smiled obsequiously and led his men to find Xia Chenggan.

Xia Chenggan stayed behind to hold off his brother, buying him time to escape. He was wounded in the fight, taking two bullets to the leg.

She has been moved to the middle-aged treatment room for treatment by the middle-aged man.

They brought the people to the battlefield belonging to Code 1, and Code 1 went directly to help remove the bullets.

The middle-aged man reassured him, "Young Master Xia's injuries are not serious. He received timely treatment and there will be no problems. You don't need to worry."

"Um."

"Please rest here for a moment."

The middle-aged man led the people to the frosted glass room on the other side.

Zhou Ran checked the time and looked at Qian Kong to the side.

"Qian Kong, go and see why Gu Tingxiao and the others haven't arrived. Don't let anything go wrong."

The middle-aged man offered, "I'll have someone take Mr. Qian there. The terrain here is complicated, and without someone to guide him, he might not be able to find the exit."

"What about here?"

Qian Kong was worried about Gu Tingxiao, after all, his primary task was to bring Gu Tingxiao back safely.

But this is the enemy's stronghold, and leaving a teenager here seems inappropriate.

He looked at the middle-aged man, who looked cowardly and obsequious.

What if the dog gets cornered and does something rash? He hesitated.

"It's alright, this place will be taken over soon. The only way out is to cooperate honestly. They don't want to die here."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

The middle-aged man had someone take Qian Kong away.

Qian Kong glanced at Zhou Ran with concern, and only left after being urged by Zhou Ran.

After the person left, the middle-aged man locked the glass room from the inside.

These glass rooms are specially designed to prevent people from escaping. Entry and exit require a card, and they can be locked from both inside and out. They are also exceptionally soundproof.

This is why Code Name 1 dared to discuss secrets directly with Xia Chengan inside; there was no safer place than here.

The middle-aged man locked the door and turned to walk towards Zhou Ran.

The middle-aged man is around forty years old. He exercises regularly and has some muscle on his body.

With his height of over 1.8 meters, he seemed to press down on us like a mountain.

In an instant, the tables turned; the middle-aged man became the butcher, and Zhou Ran the prey. 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.
