Someone approached Jiang Zhi, smiled, clinked glasses with him, took a sip of wine, and then leaned close to Su Ran's ear and said, "Little Su Ran has so many secrets. You suddenly have so much money. Why don't you tell your brother how you earned it?"

Su Ran leaned back on the sofa, looking languid. She pushed Jiang Zhi away a few feet with her fingertips before taking the wine glass he offered. "Does Ninth Master Jiang even care about my measly few coins?"

Jiang Zhi smiled and raised his glass. "Little Su Ran is mistaken. Who would complain about having too much money? I'd be happy to make money together if we could find a way."

Su Ran glanced at him. "What do you want with me today? Didn't you say not to call me unless it's something important?"

Jiang Zhi wasn't annoyed by the other party changing the subject. "I've come across a few ways to make money recently. Would you like to join in?"

Su Ran shook her head. "I have no money."

Jiang Zhi paused in his drinking, looked up at her, and said, "You're really as boring as ever. Wouldn't it have been better if I had invited you to join us earlier? Why have you been poor for over a decade?"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow at him, "Isn't the method of making money you mentioned written in the criminal law?"

Jiang Zhi didn't say anything more, but just buried his head in someone's neck. Su Ran saw that person through the dim light in the private room.

[Ding! Detected a potential spender! Appearance rating: 95 points, meets spending requirements. Host, please make a donation as soon as possible to receive a rebate!]

Su Ran was somewhat surprised to hear the system's voice. She looked closely at the person's appearance; he seemed very young. Su Ran frowned and glanced at Jiang Zhi.

This is real torture!

As the boy took a few steps back as Jiang Zhi leaned closer, but was then encircled by Jiang Zhi's hand, Su Ran took a sip of her drink, and Jiang Zhi sat up straight.

"What's wrong with Ninth Master Jiang? Didn't you boast that you attract others with your own charm? Why are you resorting to force?" Su Ran asked with a mocking expression, which was different from the Jiang Zhi she knew.

Su Ran knew that Jiang Zhi had many people around him, and they changed quickly, but as far as she knew, Jiang Zhi was not someone who liked to play the power game. The people around him in the past were simply people who admired Jiang Zhi's wealth and power and went with the flow.

Jiang Zhi chuckled, flicking a strand of his hair with his fingertip, placing the wine glass on the table, and leaning lazily against the sofa, "I'm just getting tired of this and want to try something different."

Su Ran glanced at Jiang Zhi and tapped her finger, "Shall we introduce him?"

"Sheng Yang." Jiang Zhi turned slightly to reveal him, but his tone was serious. "Little A-Yang, why don't you get to know your sister Ran?"

Sheng Yang shrank back slightly, seemingly unwilling to say more. Although Su Ran was surprised by Jiang Zhi's attitude towards him, she had no interest in dealing with him and got back to the main topic, "Tell me, what happened?"

Jiang Zhi straightened his expression, glanced at her, and Su Ran understood. She got up and left. A short while after she left, Jiang Zhi also told Sheng Yang that he would be leaving for a while.

Su Ran was waiting for Jiang Zhi on the fourth floor.

Moonlight is one of Jiang Zhi's properties and the largest money pit in Shanghai. The building has a total of seventeen floors and includes food, accommodation, and entertainment.

The fourth floor is also a lounge, where Su Ran is currently in Jiang Zhi's private room, the two sitting opposite each other.

"Speak," Su Ran's voice rang out first.

"There's been a lot going on over there lately, and it's caused quite a stir. People from China have even gone there. What happened at the police station today?" Jiang Zhi asked calmly. Su Ran looked at him, but she wasn't annoyed that he was investigating her whereabouts.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I just saw someone being trafficked to northern Myanmar while watching a live stream." Jiang Zhi continued, "You like him? How about I send some people over to snatch him back?"

Su Ran's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this. It really seemed like something he could do. "No need. I've already contacted the police. The police will handle the follow-up."

Jiang Zhi didn't take it seriously after hearing this, "But you know they're conservative, so whether the person you mentioned will come back alive is still unknown."

Su Ran pursed her lips and remained silent. She had thought about what Jiang Zhi said, but what could she do about it?

Jiang Zhi smiled but didn't say anything. He stood up and said, "Let's go back. Xiao Ran can leave if she wants. I'm going to find Xiao A Yang first."

Watching Jiang Zhi's retreating figure, Su Ran didn't say anything more and got up to leave.

After exiting the elevator and returning to the third floor, the deafening music could still be heard in the corridor. Annoyed by the music, Su Ran headed towards the restroom.

Su Ran remembered there was a window over there, where it could let in fresh air.

Su Ran leaned against the wall, took a cigarette from a sexy woman, lit it, and put the cigarette holder in her mouth.

The cigarette burns between her slender, graceful fingers, conveying a sense of depth, languor, allure, gentleness, and captivating charm.

A faint minty flavor lingered on her tongue. She flicked off the ash, and as the smoke swirled, she waited for the cigarette to burn quietly. With only a little bit left, Su Ran approached the metal trash can and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.

I leaned against the wall and let the cold wind blow on me for a while to reduce the smell of smoke on my body. There was a sink at the entrance of the bathroom, so I washed my hands in front of the mirror, and then a familiar face appeared in the mirror.

Su Ran merely glanced up, without turning back, and diligently washed her fingertips before pulling out a tissue to slowly wipe them.

After finishing everything, Su Ran slowly turned around and looked at the person who had come in. "Is there something you need?"

The boy lowered his head and remained silent. Su Ran didn't ask any more questions. She walked around him to the fence, found an open space, turned around, and leaned against the fence to look at him.

The boy behind her paused for a moment before following her. No one spoke, only the irritating music played. Su Ran was getting impatient.

Then, the boy's clear, gentle voice rang out, "You... seem to have a good relationship with Ninth Brother."

Su Ran turned around, leaning against the railing, her gaze slightly cool as she looked at the boy in front of her. "How did you figure that out? Was he the only one joking around with me? Or was he called away by me alone?"

The boy lowered his head, constantly fidgeting with the hem of his clothes. When he looked up, his eyes were bright and sparkling, and he was extremely handsome. He said very seriously, "No, it's not that. When Ninth Brother looks at you, he looks at you very seriously, like...like a very good friend."

Su Ran smiled but didn't say anything. Seeing her disbelieving look, the boy became a little anxious and raised his voice a few decibels, "I'm telling the truth! Don't you believe me!"

"If your ninth brother hears you say that, he'll definitely lock you up with his pet darling." Su Ran's words were full of threat.

She leaned closer to the boy's face and found it somewhat amusing and unexpected that his face had turned pale with fear. But upon getting closer, she also caught a whiff of something indescribable.

Su Ran glanced at the toilet behind Sheng Yang, then at him, her expression knowing, but she couldn't help but curse inwardly.

They actually used their mouths.

"How old is the child?" Su Ran thought he looked quite young, but she was also curious about his exact age.

Although Sheng Yang looked puzzled, he still replied, "I'm 17."

Su Ran looked Sheng Yang up and down, and she was right; he really was a minor. "You've been following him?"

Sheng Yang shook his head, but then nodded, "I followed him when I was eleven."

Su Ran was somewhat surprised when she heard the age, after all, she and Jiang Zhi were childhood sweethearts, but she had never heard of this person by Jiang Zhi's side.

This is Jiang Zhi.

It was hidden quite well.
