Chapter 241: Clues
"Don't look at me with such incredible eyes. I can't hide these from you. Even the smell of your body has changed." Mu Wanjun said word by word.
Tu Ran suddenly understood.
Mu Wanjun's identity is somewhat special, she is different from others.
She even has that kind of thing, so recognizing smells should be no problem for her.
To ease the awkwardness, Tu Ran changed the subject and smiled, "Maybe it's because you and I are both special that we can become friends, each other's first best friends."
"Xie Nancheng is not worthy of you, actually."
"I know it's late for me to say this."
"With your personality, if you dare to give yourself to others, you must have thought it through carefully."
"As your friend, since it's your choice, I support you even if I know he's not worthy of you."
"Thank you, Wanjun."
It was just an ordinary conversation between friends, but Tu Ran was actually a little moved.
Perhaps, she knew that Mu Wanjun really cared about her, rather than being jealous, provocative, or alienating her.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll get you something to eat."
After saying that, Mu Wanjun stood up and went to the kitchen.
Tu Ran was actually a little hungry. His last meal was breakfast in the small town.
But at that time we were still in danger, so we ate in a hurry.
After Mu Wanjun reminded her, she was really hungry.
"Can you cook?" Tu Ran remembered that Miss Mu didn't seem to cook much.
"Want to try the hotpot from Southern Sichuan?"
"Eat." Tu Ran smiled.
Mu Wanjun then opened the refrigerator and began to take out the hot pot base and ingredients she brought from her hometown.
There were two more WeChat messages on Tu Ran’s phone.
One was sent by Xie Nancheng.
Xie Nancheng: Wife, you stay at your friend’s house for a while. I’ll come back to pick you up after I finish some things.
Tu Ran: Yeah.
Xie Nancheng: Are you hungry? I’ll order some private dishes for you.
Tu Ran: Wanjun is cooking hot pot for me.
Xie Nancheng: That girl, doesn’t she like you?
The boss was inexplicably jealous.
Tu Ran: Xie Nancheng, you are crazy, aren’t you disgusting?
Xie Nancheng: Oh, I always have a sense of crisis.
Tu Ran: Don’t slander my friend.
Xie Nancheng: Okay, my dear wife, I apologize and will pick you up later.
As their relationship progressed, Xie Nancheng's changes became more noticeable.
She is much gentler than before, and she is completely different from when she first got married.
In addition to Xie Nancheng, there was another message from Gu Xixing.
To be honest, a lot of things happened during the two days before and after the Chinese New Year.
Tu Ran almost forgot about this person.
It is obvious that she really has no feelings for Gu Xixing.
Gu Xixing: Happy New Year, Tu Ran.
Tu Ran: Happy New Year, Mr. Gu.
Gu Xixing: I have found a little clue about the matter you asked me to investigate.
Tu Ran: So fast?
Gu Xixing: Well, let’s meet and talk when we have time. It’s not convenient to talk on the phone.
Tu Ran: Okay.
Gu Xixing was very happy that Tu Ran could reply to the message.
The Gu family did not have a good time this year.
Because of Gu Xixing's feelings for Tu Ran, Old Man Gu was very angry and the relationship between father and son became tense.
After a simple meal on New Year's Eve, Gu Xixing returned to his residence.
Old Man Gu cannot accept a divorced daughter-in-law.
What’s more, this daughter-in-law cannot be from the Xie family. He doesn’t want to offend the Xie family, nor does he want to be gossiped about.
The older generation is more stubborn and has never studied abroad, so it's normal that they can't accept such a relationship.
But Gu Xixing insisted on his own way and was still very concerned about Tu Ran's affairs.
"Boss Gu, I found it."
"They were being hunted."
"Oh?" Gu Xixing frowned.
"The people chasing them are from Phoenix Ridge to the highway."
“It also caused several car accidents.”
"It wasn't until they returned to Xiangcheng and Xie Nancheng's people fought back that it ended."
"What is the current situation?" Gu Xixing asked.
"Xie Nancheng is a bit crazy. He mobilized a lot of people and has already caught two people. I heard the rest ran away."
"Um."
"Is there anything we need to do?"
"Yes, you need someone to secretly follow the group. When necessary, take action, but don't let anyone die."
"Okay, Mr. Gu."
Gu Xixing's methods are particularly obvious, and he also wants to help Tu Ran get revenge.
Although Xie Nancheng was already taking crazy revenge, it did not stop him from protecting Tu Ran.
On the way back to pick up Tu Ran, Xie Nancheng also received a call from his subordinates.
Tell him that Gu Xixing has also sent people to handle this matter.
Although he shared the same stance, the boss's pride wouldn't allow it.
He cursed, "How can he be compared to a stinky drug seller?"
“But he’s also helping us.”
"I need his help? Just take care of your own business, you idiot."
Although his wife has devoted herself to him wholeheartedly, the boss is still jealous.
Even after dealing with all these, he didn't even go back to the old house to say a word.
He went directly to Mu Wanjun's house to pick up Tu Ran.
I happened to catch them when they hadn't finished eating hot pot.
Mu Wanjun didn't take the initiative to invite him to eat, but the boss was thick-skinned and took the initiative to join the hot pot group.
He didn't forget to take a photo and send it to Feng Yao, deliberately trying to piss off his good friend.
Feng Yao: Where to eat hot pot?
Xie Nancheng: Mu Wanjun’s home.
Feng Yao: ...
Xie Nancheng: Are you envious?
Feng Yao: You just want to make me angry, Mr. Cheng, but having said that, this girl is really heartless. She spent New Year's Eve at my house, and now she's having hotpot and didn't even invite me?
Feng Yao was so angry that he sent a WeChat message to Mu Wanjun to question her.
They didn't reply at all.
Xie Nancheng was a bit gossipy, "I heard that you spent New Year's Eve at Feng Yao's house."
"I heard that you spent New Year's Eve in Phoenix Ridge?" Mu Wanjun asked a soul-searching question.
Xie Nancheng: I heard that you ate dumplings at someone’s house and found gold coins in them.
Mu Wanjun's soul counterattacked: "I heard that you were being hunted before New Year's Eve was over, and you were in a mess all the way? How is the Jetta? Is it easy to drive?"
Xie Nancheng glanced at Tu Ran and said, "Wife, why do you tell her everything?"
"If you don't talk dirty and don't provoke others, will they argue with you?" Tu Ran didn't even look at him when he spoke.
On the other side, the Xie family’s old house.
When Xie Huailan heard that the mission had failed again, she was so angry that she almost threw the bowl.
She walked to the back garden, lowered her voice, and held the phone. "You always called me a fool before, saying that I acted too impulsively. Now you take action yourself, what do you think? He still got away."
"I really didn't expect that you are at this level, huh."
"Xie Huailan, I haven't questioned you yet. Did you leak the news? Why would they start escaping from the back mountain at three or four in the morning for such a confidential matter? You wouldn't betray me, would you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We only have one enemy. Will I betray you?" Xie Huailan's face turned ashen.
"Was it your loser husband who leaked it?" the man on the other end asked angrily.
"My husband doesn't know the specific details at all. Why don't you ask those people of yours if there's a mole inside? Okay, I won't say more. Saying more will arouse suspicion. Let's contact each other again."
After Xie Huailan hung up the phone, she looked at a pot of blooming Clivia in the back garden.
He kicked the flowerpot in anger and broke it into pieces.
Such a good opportunity, how could it be slipped away?
Obviously both of them need to be dealt with together.
On the other side, Mu Wanjun's home.
When Xie Nancheng and Tu Ran finished their hot pot and were about to leave.
Xie Nancheng received a surprise call.
"Boss, we've found some clues. If all goes well, we should be able to find the young lady's biological parents."
"What?" Xie Nancheng was suddenly surprised.
