Chapter 265 Meeting Li Ran Again
Qin Qing stared at the darkness behind the house. She heard it very clearly just now, there were obviously footsteps!
"Who? Who is it!"
Her heart was beating fast. Seeing Qin Qing's nervous look, even Wen Shishi became a little nervous.
"Sister Qing..."
Wen Shishi quickly picked up the wooden stick on the ground, held hands with Qin Qing, and stared ahead vigilantly.
"come out!"
Qin Qing shouted sharply, and a figure rushed out from behind the house. In the light of the car lights, Qin Qing suddenly realized that the person was clearly...
"Li Ran!"
As soon as she saw Li Ran, Qin Qing rushed up to him excitedly and grabbed his arm tightly.
"Li Ran? It's you, it's really you!"
"Sister-in-law, you... you let me take a breath..."
Li Ran was sweating profusely and was still breathing heavily. Qin Qing then noticed that his shoes were covered in mud and it looked like he had been running all the way here.
"Why are you back? Didn't you go out to carry out a mission?" Qin Qing asked puzzledly.
"My mission is over. If I don't come find you soon, Brother Fang will kill me."
Li Ran finally caught his breath. He had limited time and no means of transportation, so he ran all the way back to Dagang Village from the county town.
"Fang Zhiwei?"
Qin Qing's heart started pounding when she heard the news about Fang Zhiwei. Hope ignited in her eyes, but she didn't dare to believe it too much. "Li Ran, are you saying... Fang Zhiwei is still alive?"
"Brother Fang is fine."
"What about him? Where is he?"
Qin Qing pinched herself subconsciously, fearing that everything before her was just a dream.
He has had this dream countless times since he learned of Fang Zhiwei's death. He is afraid that this time, too, is just a dream!
"Brother Fang is still on a mission, sister-in-law, and I don't have much time. I took the opportunity to pass by the mountain city and came to tell you that Brother Fang is safe."
Li Ran's words made Qin Qing's tears burst out uncontrollably. She burst into tears and kept wiping her tears with her hands, but she couldn't keep up with the speed of the tears.
"Sister Qing, don't cry, isn't this a good thing?"
Seeing Qin Qing so sad, Wen Shishi quickly reached out and hugged her in her arms, patting her back and comforting her.
Seeing Qin Qing's collapse, Li Ran was dumbfounded. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Brother Fang is fine, shouldn't you be happy?"
Wen Shishi immediately glared back, "Happy? Sister Qing went to Kyoto to look for you, but everyone in Kyoto said Fang Zhiwei was dead. They even built a tomb for him, and even Fang Zhiwei's home had a mourning hall. What do you think Sister Qing would think?"
"What? How could this happen? Could it be that the old man..."
Li Ran hadn't expected Qin Qing to go to Kyoto and encounter something like this. "That's not right, Sister Qing, didn't I leave you the address?"
"Yes, isn't that the address you gave me the same as Ning Keqing's home? She was the one who told us that Fang Zhiwei was dead. She was the one who took me to the Martyrs' Cemetery!"
Wen Shishi stared at Li Ran, without a single pleasant tone in her mouth.
"That's not right. We told her long ago that as soon as she came to Kyoto, we would tell her about our mission. Could it be..."
"Is that even a question? She must have been bribed! And you guys, is there really no chance for you to write a letter to Sister Qing? Even if you can't write a letter, can't you just send a telegram?"
Wen Shishi became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. Although she had never met Fang Zhiwei, she didn't have a good impression of him at all because he was so unreliable and had made Sister Qing so sad.
"Of course not..."
Wen Shishi spoke like a machine gun, and Li Ran was a little overwhelmed. For a moment, he didn't know where to start explaining.
After Qin Qing cried bitterly, she finally cleared up the depression she had been feeling for days, and her emotions gradually calmed down. She wiped her tears and patted Wen Shishi's hand.
"Shishi, you can't blame them. They must have a mission and couldn't get away."
Qin Qing knew Fang Zhiwei well. If there was any way, he would definitely find a way to contact her. If he couldn't, it must be because he had an unexplainable reason.
"Sister-in-law, it's true. After Brother Fang was brought back to Kyoto, he finally woke up, but before he could even recover, he was brought back to the team and started the mission. Our mission this time is highly confidential, and we can't contact the outside world at all."
Li Ran tried hard to explain to Qin Qing, hoping that she would not blame Fang Zhiwei.
"If we can't contact you, then why are you out now?"
When Wen Shishi asked this, Li Ran had to look at her straight in the eye. She was dressed like a lady from a wealthy family, and with that unruly aura, she did have the unique sassyness of a girl from a mountain city.
He looked at Wen Shishi and Qin Qing's intimate behavior and could only give in. He sighed and said, "I completed the mission ahead of schedule this time, so I was able to leave the team for a few days. But this mission almost caused the boss to be seriously injured..."
"So how is he now? Is he alright?"
Qin Qing became nervous when she heard that Fang Zhiwei might be injured.
"It was just a close call. The boss is fine. But he has a mission to complete. Sister-in-law, I came here specifically to let you know I'm safe. I'll be back with the team soon. I only have three days, and the boss went to great lengths to keep his itinerary a secret from me during these three days."
At first, Li Ran didn't understand why Fang Zhiwei had erased his schedule, but now he understood. Fang Zhiwei might have guessed that Mr. Lan would do something.
"Okay, okay, Li Ran, tell him that everything is fine with me. As long as he's fine, there's nothing wrong with me."
At this moment, Qin Qing no longer wanted to care about anything else.
No matter whether Mr. Lan deliberately set up such a situation, it was just to make her give up completely and never have anything to do with Fang Zhiwei again. She didn't ask for much, as long as Fang Zhiwei was safe and sound.
"Sister-in-law, I will explain your trip to Kyoto to the boss after I return."
Li Ran didn't expect that Ning Keqing would actually cooperate with Mr. Lan in lying. If he had known she would do this, he would not have left her address to Qin Qing.
"I know. Tell him I'll be waiting for him in the mountain city!"
Qin Qing said to Li Ran, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes again.
Li Ran also nodded. "Sister-in-law, my time is limited. I have to return to the team. I'll be leaving first."
"Shishi, let's give Li Ran a ride."
Thinking that Li Ran must be exhausted from running around, Qin Qing mentioned this to Wen Shishi.
Wen Shishi still cared about Li Ran, but she naturally had no way to refuse Qin Qing's request, so she could only snort coldly.
"Get in the car."
