Chapter 250: Nowhere to Escape
Not wanting to continue talking nonsense with Jiang Ran, Jiang Suxin took a sip of tea and said straight to the point: "I asked you to come here because of something Si Xu asked me to do."
Si Xu asked her to investigate Si Nian and Qin Huai.
Jiang Ran put on a posture of listening attentively: "You go ahead."
She didn't ask why she had to tell her what Si Xu had entrusted her with.
Jiang Suxin looked at her in surprise, and said thoughtfully: "...You are indeed a smart person."
Jiang Ran smiled slightly but didn't respond.
Jiang Suxin returned to the topic and said seriously, "I don't have much information about Qin Huai. As you know, Qin Huai is a psychic, so it's difficult to investigate his information without him discovering it."
"Yeah, I know." Qin Huai came from the laboratory, and she had a lot of information about him.
"I called you here because of the Si Nian that Si Xu mentioned." Jiang Suxin asked her, "You and this Si Nian had a connection. You were still very young at that time. I wonder if you still remember it."
"No." The only impression she had of Si Nian was that Jiang Yize mentioned this name.
"Si Nian is the youngest daughter in the family. She has an older brother. In college, she and your father Jiang Yize were classmates. They had a very good relationship. It was said that—" She glanced at Jiang Ran and sighed, "There was a rumor in school that they were a couple."
"Oh." Jiang Ran was very calm. "You don't want to tell me that Si Nian took revenge on my father because my father betrayed her, right?"
"You know?" Jiang Suxin paused while drinking her tea. "How did you know?"
"Know what?" Jiang Ran hated this kind of roundabout probing the most. "Is Si Nian taking revenge on my father? Or is it my father who betrayed her?"
Jiang Suxin said slowly: "Both."
Jiang Ran smiled: "From what you said, my father and Si Nian were really boyfriend and girlfriend in college?"
Jiang Suxin nodded slightly.
Jiang Ran spread his hands: "Okay, go ahead."
"Your father and Si Nian were a couple. Later, your father and your mother met and fell in love, and they separated."
"Oh, so what you're saying is that my father cheated on me?"
Jiang Suxin agreed.
"Later, your father joined Xiling Laboratory, and Si Nian was in Dongchao City. Your father would find excuses to come to Dongchao City every month to meet her..."
"Didn't my father come to Dongchao City to attend a seminar?"
"Seminar?" Jiang Suxin chuckled. "What seminar should be held every month?"
"Well, even after my father started a family and established a career, he still had ties with his ex-lover."
Her tone remained calm, but Jiang Suxin felt a little uncertain: "Disappointed?"
Jiang Ran asked back: "Aren't you finished yet?"
"What happened next is the tragic ending of the whole story - although your father was still involved with Si Nian, he had no intention of divorcing her and marrying her. The woman turned from love to hate and reported your father to Shen Lang."
"Then my father died."
"……I regret."
"Si Xu asked you to investigate, and you only found out that the woman was my father's ex-lover?"
“…”Isn’t this news important to you?
"Ms. Jiang, besides your ex-lover, what else have you found out about that woman?"
“…There is no other news at the moment.”
"The lantern bearer?" Jiang Ran scoffed. "So all you can do is investigate this kind of gossip?"
This was the first time someone dared to comment on her work in such a frivolous tone. Jiang Suxin clenched her fist: Okay, for that person's order, she endured it!
"...I know you're very angry when you hear this news. I...think this news is your privacy. You have the right to decide whether to tell Si Xu."
"I'm not angry." Jiang Ran interrupted the woman and sighed, "Have you finished your story? Then how about I tell you the version I found out?"
She folded her hands on the table, completely changing her previous nonchalant attitude. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were cold.
"There was a poor woman who met a man she loved in college, but he already had someone else in his heart. So the woman could only suppress her love and stay with him as a friend. Do you know what this kind of woman is called?"
"A poor soul trapped in love?"
"Haha." Jiang Ran said word by word, "Shameless green tea bitch."
“…”
"The green tea bitch thought that as long as she stayed with the man, he would look back at her. In the end, the man married his lover, had children, and lived happily ever after, while she could only hide in a dark corner like a maggot that could not see the light of day, relying on her imagination to imagine her own disgusting love story."
As Jiang Ran finished speaking, a light sound was heard from behind the screen.
Jiang Suxin's expression changed slightly.
The girl glanced at him, seemingly unconcerned. "The man came to the woman's city every month for meetings for his work. The woman continued to approach him as a friend, but no matter how much she hinted, he didn't respond to her feelings. The woman turned her love into hate, and with the mentality of destroying him if she couldn't get him, she directly betrayed him and killed him."
Jiang Ran paused for a moment, then leaned over and asked Jiang Suxin, "Lamp Holder, what do you think of my version?"
Jiang Suxin's attention was still on the screen. Upon hearing this, she blurted out, "What's going on?"
"The character settings and storyline are much more interesting than your story about that unfaithful scumbag who got what he deserved, aren't they?"
"you……"
"Want to know why I know this story?"
“…”
"Because, besides you, I met another old friend at Beichen Base. I've heard a completely different version of your story from that old friend."
"Old friend?" Is there any news about the entire Beichen base that she doesn't know?
"Lightman, your sight is too far ahead, your vision is too broad, and you often overlook what's right under your nose." Jiang Ran changed his posture and chuckled, "There's more information you don't know about this Beichen base than you can imagine."
Who was Huo Sichan? Would he be defenseless if he placed an intelligence dealer in his base?
At least, from the story told by the woman today, we can know that this lamplighter who is said to know everything does not know Tu Su's identity.
"I don't understand, Ms. Jiang." Jiang Ran held up her chin and sighed, "You and I have no grudges against each other. What's your purpose in making up such lies about my father?"
Jiang Suxin pretended to be calm: "I never sell false information. Si Xu knows this better than you."
"You really didn't sell fake news. You just told me and didn't take any money from me. That doesn't count as selling, Ms. Jiang."
“…”
"Also, Si Xu probably doesn't know that the information dealer he knows and Si Nian, whom he wants to investigate, are old friends, right?"
Before the girl finished her words, she suddenly rushed forward. Before Jiang Suxin could react, she grabbed the woman's neck and dragged her back forcefully.
Jiang Su was furious: "What are you doing! Jiang Ran!"
"Don't move, Lantern Man." After dragging the man to the wall, Jiang Ran loosened his grip, a silver light flickering at his fingertips. "If you move, your head and neck might be torn apart."
Something cold and thin pressed into her skin on her neck, and Jiang Suxin stopped struggling.
Jiang Ran looked at the screen and said loudly, "I wonder if the guest behind the screen is that horrible rat? Or that shameless green tea?"
