Chapter 62 Chapter 62 An Ran, long time no see

"Ms. Lin, people sometimes cannot understand each other." Uncle Wang said calmly.

Uncle Wang's life was already halfway through, and he had seen many ups and downs. Nothing that happened in the circle of wealthy people would surprise him. The Xue siblings were just scammers. In his opinion, this kind of thing was not worth making a fuss about. What was worth noting was that the Xue siblings also defrauded government investment, and it could be said that they succeeded.

Lin Anran was speechless for a moment. Indeed, not to mention Xue Kai who had no news at the moment, she really couldn't understand Xue Ya. They were all human beings, but people's thoughts could be very different.

Regardless of whether Xue Ya is willing to confess or not, even if Xue Ya is willing, it cannot change the fact that Xue Ya is a liar who sets traps and cheats people out of their money.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. Is there any way to know why Xue Ya wants to kidnap me?" Lin Anran didn't sense any murderous intent from Xue Ya, but why kidnap her?

She had some vague ideas, but she didn't know whether they were correct or not. She only showed that little bit to the outside world. It couldn't be that Phalaenopsis and Clivia kidnapped her.

Uncle Wang said that he would try his best to find a way, but Xue Ya was in the Public Security Bureau, so they couldn't just interrogate her whenever they wanted. They could only try, and ultimately it would depend on whether the Public Security Bureau could find out the truth from her interrogation.

"Ms. Lin, the Xue family's villa next door has been sealed off." Aunt Zhong told Lin Anran about this when she brought her breakfast.

Lin Anran blinked: "When did it happen?"

Aunt Zhong said, "I saw it early this morning when I went out to buy groceries. Miss Lin, is it certain that the Xue family will be sentenced this time?"

Aunt Zhong was there that night when the kidnappers broke into Lin Anran's villa and experienced it firsthand.

Lin Anran nodded and said that the Xue brothers not only cheated her out of money, but also planned to kidnap her. They had already found some evidence and it was impossible to escape. "But I don't know where Xue Kai is hiding now."

Aunt Zhong sighed, "Wouldn't it be easier for him to escape if he ran to Hong Kong?"

"Yes." If Xue Kai escaped from Hong Kong to any country in Southeast Asia, he could easily find a place to hide. It is even more chaotic over there, and it is not so easy to handle cross-border cases. Not to mention cross-border cases, even if the mainland police go to Hong Kong to handle cases, there are also difficulties in front of them. After all, Hong Kong has not yet returned.

Lin Anran was no longer anxious. There was no point in being anxious. She wasn't a police officer, so how could she fly over to catch Xue Kai? At least Xue Ya was caught, and that housekeeper Carson couldn't escape either.

After breakfast and working in the garden, Lin Anran went to the study to read, but for a moment she couldn't concentrate. She scratched her hair with the pen in her hand. In a few hours, she would be able to see Zhou Heyuan...

Recalling the last time she saw Zhou Heyuan, it was before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. Lin Anran was shocked to realize that she hadn't seen Zhou Heyuan for several months. They had been in contact by phone all the time. Perhaps because of the distance, her contact with Zhou Heyuan became more frequent.

Realizing this, Lin Anran silently raised her hands and gently covered her face. The feeling of contacting someone by phone and meeting him in person were completely different. They talked about everything across the phone line. This made her think about what to say to Zhou Heyuan when she saw him.

But before meeting Zhou Heyuan, Lin Anran received a call from Qian Jiaming. She wondered why Qian Jiaming called her.

As soon as Qian Jiaming opened his mouth, he began to express his concern for Lin Anran's safety.

"I'm unharmed, at most I used my brain a little." Lin Anran joked to himself.

Qian Jiaming immediately said, "That's because he's injured. Xiaolin, you need to eat something good to nourish your brain."

Lin Anran laughed heartily. "I will." She paused, then turned her attention to Qian Jiaming's situation. "Did you encounter any danger in the north?"

Zhou Heyuan always said that he was fine and not dangerous. Although he believed him, Lin Anran always felt that things were not that simple. Since he couldn't get any information from Zhou Heyuan, he decided to try to test his friend.

"Dangerous? It's too dangerous here!" Qian Jiaming exclaimed in shock. "Just two days ago, if He Yuan hadn't helped me, I would have been pierced by someone."

Lin Anran's eyes suddenly widened: "Is Zhou Heyuan okay?!"

Qian Jiaming was stunned for a moment, coughed forcefully, and quickly explained, "It's okay, it's okay. He Yuan is fine, he's not hurt. He's completely unharmed. Really, he started training when he was a few years old. He learned Kung Fu from Grandpa Zhou. His skills are much better than mine. He can easily beat five of me."

"Five, are you sure you didn't say too few?" Guo Shuyan, who was sitting next to him, looked at Qian Jiaming speechlessly.

Qian Jiaming rubbed the back of his head and chuckled, "Anyway, He Yuan is a better fighter than you and me. Otherwise, Grandpa Zhou wouldn't have always regretted that He Yuan didn't join the army."

Guo Shuyan couldn't refute it. The two of them combined were not enough to beat Zhou Heyuan with one hand.

Lin Anran heard the conversation between Qian Jiaming and Guo Shuyan, but she couldn't completely let go!

She only knew that there was chaos after the disintegration of the northern superpower, but she was not sure how chaotic it was. Now, just listening to Qian Jiaming's simple words was enough to imagine what kind of chaotic situation it was. Qian Jiaming said it easily, but the situation at that time was definitely not that simple. If she was not careful, she would not only get a hole in her body, but she might even lose her life.

"Ahem, Xiaolin, you really don't have to worry about Heyuan." Qian Jiaming's heart trembled when he thought of Zhou Heyuan. He realized that he might have said something he shouldn't have said. Although, Zhou Heyuan and Lin Anran are not sure whether they are a couple yet, but with the degree of care Zhou Heyuan has for Lin Anran, he will definitely call her "sister-in-law" in the future.

Qian Jiaming winked at Guo Shuyan and asked him to find a solution, but Guo Shuyan ignored him. He found another reason why Qian Jiaming's secret love failed.

"I understand. Thank you Mr. Qian for telling me about this." Lin Anran smiled. She thought about what to say when she met Zhou Heyuan.

Qian Jiaming felt a chill on his back. Maybe he shouldn't have made this call.

Lin Anran: "By the way, Mr. Qian, do you have anything to tell Zhou Heyuan?"

Qian Jiaming shuddered and immediately said, "No."

Lin Anran: "Okay, I'll hang up then."

After hanging up the phone, Qian Jiaming's hands were still shaking and his eyes were blank.

Guo Shuyan pushed his glasses and reminded him, "Didn't you call to ask Xiaolin to persuade Heyuan to come back to work earlier?"

Qian Jiaming: "...Do I dare to tell you about that? I'm afraid if I tell you, Xiaolin will rush over and tear me apart!"

Guo Shuyan chuckled: "So you have some self-awareness."

"Why didn't you stop me just now?" Qian Jiaming was so angry that he stared at him resentfully.

Guo Shuyan: "How can I stop you? Who knew you would suddenly mention He Yuan helping you?"

Qian Jiaming twirled his hair into a mess. "I brought this up to help Heyuan get points with Xiaolin, but after I finished speaking I realized something was amiss!"

Hearing this, Guo Shuyan asked back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Does He Yuan really need you to help him get points from Xiao Lin?"

Qian Jiaming knew he was in the wrong and kept quiet.

The moment Zhou Heyuan saw Lin Anran, he immediately noticed something wrong with her - the smile on her face was a little strange?

"Zhou Heyuan, long time no see." Lin Anran stood at the door of her villa, looking at Zhou Heyuan whom she had not seen for several months. Well, he was still the same person, but different from before. She felt that Zhou Heyuan was more handsome?

Zhou Heyuan's eyes were fixed on her face. He was always very gentlemanly in front of her. He asked her, "Can I understand that I can call you by a different name?"

Lin Anran smiled slightly: "Sure, how do you want to call me?"

"Anran, long time no see." Zhou Heyuan looked at her and said to her.

Lin Anran was stunned for a moment, put away the fake smile on his face, and looked at Zhou Heyuan seriously. After flying from the north to the south, Zhou Heyuan did not show any signs of fatigue, but his hair was a little messy, unlike before when his hair was always well-groomed.

"You came to see me as soon as you got off the plane?" Lin Anran looked at Zhou Heyuan, then glanced at Uncle Wang and Fang Jie behind him.

Zhou Heyuan looked at her calmly and said, "Yeah."

After getting the confirmation, Lin Anran couldn't bear to block people at the door, so she took them inside.

"You just got off the plane, so you should have a glass of warm water." Lin Anran didn't let Aunt Zhong serve tea, she handed the cup to Zhou Heyuan.

Uncle Wang and the others were very tactful and gave the living room to Lin Anran and Zhou Heyuan.

Zhou Heyuan looked at her and drank half a glass of water as he was told. After finishing it, he looked at her again and asked her softly, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Lin Anran didn't expect Zhou Heyuan to be so perceptive. She raised her eyebrows slightly and threw the question back to him: "What do you think?"

Zhou Heyuan was silent. The two of them looked into each other's eyes silently, and Lin Anran kept smiling.

The first person to give in was Zhou Heyuan: "You speak, I listen."

Lin Anran also broke down and chuckled: "What did you do after listening to it? Did you change it?"

Zhou Heyuan said seriously: "I can't promise anything that I can't do."

"Thank you for your honesty. Let me tell you, before you came, I received a call from Mr. Qian. He told me that you were very brave and saved him." Lin Anran was very satisfied with Zhou Heyuan's attitude. Not making promises easily was a sign of responsibility, and she appreciated this.

Zhou Heyuan: "...The situation was critical at the time. I didn't think about anything else but saving people."

Lin Anran stared at him closely. Zhou Heyuan was openly being looked at by her, and there was no trace of regret on his face.

Lin Anran was discouraged: "You have the ability to save people, so you reached out to save them. I admire you for that, but in the future, you must always take care of yourself before saving others."

"Okay, I promise you." This time, Zhou Heyuan agreed immediately.

Lin Anran looked at him and shook his head helplessly.

"Are you very busy at work? I don't think Mr. Qian called me to inquire about my situation." Because she had spoken to Zhou Heyuan on the phone before, Qian Jiaming and Guo Shuyan had said a few words to her on the side, showing their concern. It was impossible for these two to be so idle as to call her again to confirm.

Zhou Heyuan said, "The team can still turn around without me. My departure is just right. It will give them ample opportunities to gain experience."

Lin Anran smiled. It was good that Zhou Heyuan would go to that dangerous place later.

"After talking about me, let's talk about you." Zhou Heyuan changed the subject.

"Me? What can I say?" Lin Anran nearly choked on her own saliva. She spoke rapidly, "I'm not like you. If I feel danger, I will immediately take effective measures to protect myself. No one can touch a hair on my head."

What's wrong with her being timid? She can protect herself.

Zhou Heyuan was unable to refute Lin Anran's words. Indeed, no matter from which angle you looked at it, Lin Anran had found a way to protect herself, and all her responses were effective and easy to use.
