"So? He came here to seek revenge on me?" Tu Ran's eyes widened.

Just for this? The big boss personally came down to seek revenge on her little minions? This is a bit unrealistic.

"Don't forget, you were also the one who killed his cousin, Nick Wells." Zero reminded coldly.

"He's not dead yet, I just dug out his inner elixir, he can still live for ten days or half a month," Tu Ran retracted her neck, her communicator vibrating, "Besides, even if Nick Wells is dead, it will be difficult to trace it to me."

She turned on the screen and was stunned when she saw the message in the communicator.

"Where is Xi Chunzhi now?"

"Medical department."

"Are you sure?" Tu Ran stared at the two lines of words on the communicator.

"Xi Chunzhi is in our hands. You have three minutes to come out. We have something important to discuss with you."

The other party may have felt that the tone was too harsh, and added, "Don't worry, we won't hurt you."

"Xi Chunzhi is indeed still in the medical department." Ling called up the surveillance footage of the ward where Xi Chunzhi was located in the medical department. Xi Chunzhi was leaning on the bed with a table in front of her. There was porridge and side dishes on it. She was eating slowly and chewing the food.

"What does Stephano mean? He said Xi Chunzhi is in his hands," Tu Ran realized belatedly, "Is this guy bluffing me? He thinks I can't find the surveillance of the medical department within three minutes, right?"

“It should be… yes.”

"Oh, I'd like to see what they want to talk to me about."

Tu Ran replied through the communicator, "I'm afraid you guys will do something to me, so we can just communicate directly through the communicator."

The other party quickly sent a message, "The interview is more formal."

"Okay." Tu Ran sent a word and stood out from behind the concealed aircraft.

She approached the aircraft where Stefano Wells was and stopped about ten meters away from them.

"It's right here. The shielding circle is just ahead of this." Ling said in the headset.

"Let's talk face to face here." Tu Ran said. Her voice was transmitted over more than ten meters and was almost inaudible when it reached Stefano Wells.

Andre: “…”

Stefano Wells: "..."

Stefano Wells closed his eyes and said, "Turn off the shielding device and ask her to come over and talk."

Andre immediately did as he was told and contacted Tu Ran again, saying that the blocking had been turned off and she could come over without worry.

"Is it really closed?" Tu Ran asked in a low voice.

"It's off." Zero said.

Tu Ran finally felt relieved and walked towards them.

The bodyguard stared at Tu Ran as she walked towards him, his eyes behind his sunglasses almost emitting fire.

Because she didn't play by the rules, he would be punished when he returned! How could Tu Ran not notice such naked hostility? She didn't take it to heart, but looked at Andre, "I'm out, release Xi Chunzhi."

Acting should be performed in full.

"We didn't capture Xi Chunzhi. She is lying safely on the hospital bed. We are sorry to force you out in this way." Andre looked apologetic.

Tu Ran showed a little anger and annoyance of being played with, and said in a bad attitude, "What do you want to talk about? Speak quickly, I still have to go to work."

"From what we know, your rank in the pioneer team is not high." Andre said. "Yes, what's wrong?" Tu Ran crossed her arms.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

"You are incompetent and cannot collect any useful information in the Threshold, so your level is naturally low." After a pause, Tu Ran took the initiative and said, "It seems that you are not that powerful. You can't even find out this. I am really stupid to believe your threat to kidnap Xi Chunzhi. Who are you? If you don't tell me, I will leave."

Andre: “…” It was the first time he met such a rude, willful and uncultured pioneer.

"Let me introduce you formally. The person in front of you is Stefano Wells, the head of the Wells family." Andre raised his chin.

To be honest, he wanted to see the reaction of this uncultured pioneer in front of him when he was intimidated by the name of the patriarch.

"You should know when to stop bragging. How could the person in charge of the Wells family come to see me?" Tu Ran rolled her eyes at him, totally unconvinced, and turned to leave.

Andre: “…”

Well, after all, the other party is just a small pioneer who has never come into contact with the federal high-level officials, so this reaction is understandable.

"Don't leave yet, we know you have the inner elixir!"

Tu Ran paused, turned back to look at Andre, squinted his eyes, and asked, "What is the inner elixir?"

"Oh, Tu Ran, huh? You're a good actor."

The voice came from inside the car window, with a hint of sarcasm.

Sure enough, the boss's voice was three parts distracted, three parts sarcastic, and four parts indifferent.

A pair of leather shoes appeared in front of Tu Ran, and then an extremely long leg stretched out from the seat in the car and stepped on the ground. Looking at this scene, Tu Ran's mind was full of mantis legs.

A tall man walked out of the car and looked down at Tu Ran.

"I've seen some of your performances in killing genetic monsters. You're excellent. I happen to be in need of a bodyguard, so I want to hire you now."

Tu Ran: “???” What’s going on? This guy is in need of a powerful bodyguard? Even if he is in need, does he need to recruit them personally? Wouldn’t there be millions of people vying to be his bodyguards if he just waved his hand? “I will give you a salary ten times higher than the pioneer team.”

Tu Ran laughed dryly, "Just because I have inner elixir? You should have enough subordinates with inner elixir."

"Indeed, I have, but I lack subordinates who can recognize other people's abilities."

Tu Ran's brows suddenly frowned.

"Don't have that expression," Stephano looked at Tu Ran and smiled contemptuously, "Have you ever wondered why Zhao Yan was able to pass the memory reader?"

"He has taken refuge with you?" Tu Ran was stunned. There had been so many things going on recently that she had forgotten about this.

"Yes, I helped him pass the memory reader, and he helped me determine who has super powers." Stephano said slowly.

Tu Ran listened to his words and caught a word: judgment.

"Zhao Yan's ability is... to judge whether a person has superpowers?" Tu Ran couldn't believe it. That guy clearly had "telepathy" and the thoughts of everyone within thirty meters could not escape his eyes.

"Yes, as long as he is within thirty meters of him, he can tell whether a person has superpowers." Stephano raised his chin.

Tu Ran was certain that the person in front of her was a sucker who had been deceived by Zhao Yan. His thoughts had already been read by him. He actually naively believed that Zhao Yan could only judge whether a person had superpowers.

Tu Ran wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

She really wanted to see how this scapegoat would react after learning the truth, but she couldn't say it now. If she did, it would be bad if Stefano became wary of her as well.
