Chapter 34 Interception on the Way

After leaving, Jiang Ran went straight to the antique market and bought a compass.

She can't sense where they are at all now, and can only rely on these external things to detect their aura and determine their location.

She aligned the compass horizontally with her chest and abdomen, and saw the central magnetic needle swinging violently back and forth, as if it were being disturbed.

After a moment, the sliding stopped, and the magnetic needle aligned with the red line on the compass base, pointing in one direction.

“The Xun direction…” Jiang Ran frowned slightly.

How could they be in the southeast direction? That direction is clearly opposite to the villa.

Then carefully place the compass in front of the car and drive in the direction it indicates.

Just then, Song Yuqing suddenly appeared in front of them. Unlike last time, she didn't try to avoid them at all and just stood in the middle of the road.

Jiang Ran slammed on the brakes, glared at the crazy woman in front of her, got out of the car, and angrily shouted, "Are you crazy?!"

Song Yuqing strode forward, her face full of anger: "Jiang Ran, you're so cunning! All that talk about share investment and huge dividends is a lie! You just wanted to swindle our money, didn't you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran instantly understood why she was there. So she had come to question her?

"So what?" Jiang Ran retorted with a hint of sarcasm.

Seeing that she did not deny it, Song Yuqing's expression turned ugly, and her eyes looked at her with disbelief.

"If I hadn't specifically inquired, I wouldn't have known that the Si family doesn't have any concept of scattered shares at all. This is all a fabrication you made up."

"Jiang Ran, why did you do this? Do you know that Ziyi even borrowed money from loan sharks to help you raise money!"

Song Yuqing still held onto a last hope: even if Jiang Ran was deliberately targeting her, her feelings for Lu Ziyi were extraordinary.

As long as Lu Ziyi is alright, their secret plan will not be considered a failure.

Hearing Song Yuqing's words, Jiang Ran suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Loan sharks? You're telling me you expect me to sympathize with her? You're overthinking it. What does her borrowing money from loan sharks have to do with me?"

"And you, you're saying I cheated you out of money? How can getting my own money back be considered cheating?"

Song Yuqing was taken aback by Jiang Ran's words and was about to retort when she heard Jiang Ran continue.

"You've swindled so much money out of me, what? You're not going to pay it back?" Jiang Ran said, glancing at her sideways.

"You had to borrow money at exorbitant interest rates for a mere three million? Who told you to live such a lavish lifestyle and spend all that money?"

"You...you're spouting nonsense!"

Jiang Ran looked up at her, her eyes full of disdain: "You should know best whether I'm lying or not. Do you still think I'm the puppet you used to be, the one who just obeyed orders?"

Song Yuqing's face stiffened, and her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Jiang Ran: "So you planned all this from the beginning, setting traps for us step by step from the moment you said you wanted to invest."

"Jiang Ran, you're so cunning! We misjudged you!"

Hearing her sarcasm, Jiang Ran scoffed coldly.

"If you hadn't been so greedy, wanting to make a huge profit with a small investment, how could my plan have succeeded?"

As she spoke, she took a few steps closer to her. Song Yuqing felt a strong sense of pressure, and then she heard her lips part slightly.

"I'm just taking back what's mine, and you're scolding me like this? Does shamelessness really mean everything in this world now?"

Jiang Ran retorted sarcastically, thinking that Song Yuqing had not only perfectly imitated the "green tea" persona, but also embodied shamelessness to the fullest extent.

How dare you question her?

If it weren't for the fact that I'm in this situation, I would definitely teach her a lesson about how treacherous society can be!

"You're shameless!" Unable to win an argument with Jiang Ran, Song Yuqing resorted to personal attacks.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Ran didn't care at all, smiled slightly, and said with a mocking expression, "Compared to you, I am completely inferior."

Before Song Yuqing could speak, he continued, "I have things to do, I don't have time to argue with you."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Seeing this, Song Yuqing quickly took a few steps and stretched out her arms to block her.

"You're not leaving today until you give me an explanation!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran frowned. Was he about to resort to shamelessness?

He shoved her aside and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, then don't block my way."

Song Yuqing stumbled from the push, and when she looked up again, Jiang Ran had already started the car, stepped on the gas, and the car grazed past her.

She quickly dodged to the side, only then realizing that she was deliberately doing this to humiliate her!

Watching the car disappear from sight, Song Yuqing's lips curled into a smile, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Ran didn't take this incident to heart and sped off following the directions indicated by the compass.

Just then, a truck suddenly appeared in front of her and changed lanes. To avoid a collision, she quickly stepped on the brakes, but the car's speed did not decrease at all.

Just as she was about to collide with the car in front of her, Jiang Ran suddenly swerved into another lane, narrowly escaping a collision.

He glanced down at the brakes, his brow furrowed.

What's going on?

Brake failure? It was working perfectly fine just now.

Driving a car with potential safety hazards made Jiang Ran feel uneasy.

She just arrived here to look for someone, and then her car broke down. Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?

Jiang Ran looked up at the landmark and searched for an escape lane. The most important thing now was to deal with the car properly.

Otherwise, she would have taken the lead before even finding the person.

Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly saw Si Zuochen and Si Youlin standing not far from the car.

Jiang Ran immediately slammed on the brakes, but then, realizing they were useless, she turned the steering wheel sharply to one side without hesitation.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the car swerved to avoid the mountainside and crashed into it. The front of the car was instantly deformed and started emitting white smoke.

"hiss--"

Jiang Ran was also slammed hard against the steering wheel, but fortunately, she was unharmed.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Jiang Ran quickly got out of the car and saw that the middle of the road was empty. She looked around and saw that the entire road was empty.

Not a single person, not even a car, passed by.

"Si Zuochen! Si Youlin!"

Jiang Ran called out, but there was no response for a long time.

But she clearly saw them before she moved away.

Jiang Ran fell into deep thought. Could it be that she was seeing things?

That shouldn't be the case...

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from afar, and Jiang Ran turned around to look.

Gu Nan got out of the car, frowned slightly at the scene before her, and asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Ran recounted how she had just experienced blurred vision. Gu Nan nodded and then asked, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Ran shook her head: "Why are you here?"

"I went back to see my mother. The situation was handled promptly, and she's fine."

"Then how did you know I was here?" Jiang Ran tilted her head and asked.

Gu Nan frowned slightly: "Your car will automatically send an alarm if there is an accident. I happened to be walking this way when I received the alarm notification. I thought something had happened, so I rushed over."
