Chapter 10: The former man-eating plant, now a poor little thing
"Okay, go ahead!"
Director Tan agreed with a big gesture. The surprise came very quickly. Zhou Chenshen was a little surprised. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "So easy to talk to?"
"Otherwise, if you don't leave, you'll be court-martialed tomorrow."
Zhou Chenshen: ...
Many people want him dead!
"Lin Jicha keeps an eye on me every day. He won't be satisfied until he completely brings me down and throws me in jail."
Zhou Chenshen lit a cigarette for himself.
The lighter lit up with a "click" sound, then went out, and wisps of green smoke swirled up. He was very relaxed about it.
His whole body exudes a wildness, more like the weeds growing in the cracks of rocks. Even the strongest wind cannot bend his waist.
Director Tan: !!
Her admiring gaze was fleeting, and she immediately scolded him again: "It's already this late, and you're still acting so arrogantly? Tell me the truth, what is the identity of the girl you sent to the hospital? If someone named Lin keeps chasing you, is there something wrong with her identity?"
"She is Professor Liu's only relative. She was captured along with Professor Liu. Those people tortured her to force Professor Liu to surrender... She is also the only survivor of this incident."
Zhou Chenshen spoke slowly. He was quite good at making up stories and could do it off the top of his head.
"Oh, just make it up! If I really believed you, I wouldn't be named Tan! You little bastard, give me a cigarette. You have no respect for your superiors at all!"
Director Tan knew him too well and knew that he was unwilling to talk, so he stopped asking. Zhou Chenshen personally lit a cigarette for him.
The two talked in the office for a long time. Almost two hours had passed before Director Tan left with a sullen expression.
Someone was watching this place outside. Qiu Zaifei received the news immediately and sneered, "It's normal to be scolded for failing to complete the mission. Even if he is the top ace, it's not good enough. This time, let's see how Director Tan punishes him!"
He believed that Director Tan scolded Zhou Chenshen harshly because of the failure of the mission.
Zhou Chenshen opened the window to let out the smell of cigarette smoke. He looked at his clothes, which were still the same as those he wore in the mountains, and went to the bathroom to take a shower as quickly as possible.
I raced against time and at 6:30 in the evening, I went to the hospital cafeteria to buy a meal for the patient and went upstairs to the ward.
"Sorry, I was gone a little longer and came back late."
I put the porridge, buns, pickles, and ham I bought on the table and asked her what she wanted to eat.
"I want to eat them all. Bro, my feet don't hurt."
Li Ran moved his ankle, his eyes full of smiles.
When Zhou Chenshen left, she tore off the gauze and took a look. Whether it was wound treatment or debridement and anti-inflammation, everything was done very well, so she didn't plan to do it again herself.
"You're seriously injured, so you need to take good care of yourself. But you have to remember, you only have one life. No matter what, you can never give up easily. Do you understand?"
Zhou Chenshen blew the porridge cool and fed her slowly. The little girl had suffered so much and still retrieved the information for them, so it was his duty to take care of her.
Just thinking of her previous words that she didn't want to live, he gave her a few more words of advice. He didn't want to see the light in her eyes disappear completely one day.
"I know, I won't do that again. I will work hard and live my life to the fullest."
Li Ran said that she would take good care of her life when she had a brother in the future, and she would kill anyone who dared not let her live!
"Yeah, that's good."
Zhou Chenshen continued to feed her. The little girl was so cute that he had to be patient to take care of her.
Li Ran nodded. She spoke obediently, opened her mouth obediently, and drank porridge obediently. She was so obedient that Zhou Chenshen almost forgot her past identity and the ruthless moves this ancestor had used when fighting him!
The former carnivorous plant, no matter how much suffering it endures, will never be able to turn into a gentle and lovely little white flower.
"Grandpa Liu's coffin has been taken away by someone from above. The information you helped us retrieve has also been handed over. Ranran, you've been a great contributor to this mission. Tell me what reward you want. I'll satisfy you."
After swallowing the last bite of the bun, Li Ran said, "I don't want anything. I'll listen to my brother."
Zhou Chenshen: ...
Good boy, is he raising a daughter?
After dinner, Zhou Chenshen personally went to fetch some water, let her lie down, washed her hair, and blew her hair. Li Ran was so beautiful that her heart was beating fast and she felt so happy.
After everything was packed up, Zhou Chenshen went to find Shen Jiming: "How is she?"
“Very bad.”
"Tell me more specifically."
Chen Jiming looked at Zhou Chenshen's serious expression and couldn't help laughing: "Finally, you're tempted? This is the first time I've seen you care so much about a girl."
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."
"The serious thing is, she's been malnourished for a long time and is always injured. She has many injuries, both big and small. Her physical development is not very good, and her bone age is slow. She's already nineteen years old, but she looks only fourteen or fifteen. If you really want to like her, you have to take good care of her. Just like... taking care of your ancestors!"
Shen Jiming said half-jokingly that he never expected that his words would come true.
The next morning, the old man came again as expected. Not only did he bring a lot of jewelry, but he also brought a lot of delicious food and drinks... Li Ran looked at him eagerly, feeling flattered.
"Grandpa, I, I can't eat now."
A lot of it is meat. She wants to eat it, but she can’t because she is a patient now.
The old man slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. I'll wait until you're healed before eating. Your name is Ranran, right? Can I call you Ranran too?"
The old man liked Li Ran as soon as he saw him.
Although he is a little thinner, darker and weaker, it doesn’t matter... His eyes are exceptionally clear and his gaze is exceptionally steady. You can tell at first glance that he is a good child.
Otherwise, his grandson would not have picked up the little girl from the mountains.
"Okay, Grandpa, you can just call me Ranran."
When Li Ran was well-behaved, she was very good at coaxing people. The old man was soon in a good mood because of her coaxing. When he left, he also grabbed Zhou Chenshen and took him out.
"After Ah Ran is discharged from the hospital, come and live with me at Mingshan's house. We have a big yard and many servants, so we can take good care of her. Besides, my place is safer too."
The old man suggested that such a big yard would be a bit lonely with only him and his wife living there, and it would be more lively if a little girl were to keep them company.
Zhou Chenshen: ...
His grandfather does whatever he wants.
With Li Ran's temper and identity...if he really lives in Mingshan, he will be in constant trouble and danger.
If those members of the Ace of Hearts who were killed by her knew that she was still alive, they would definitely come back and kill them all.
"Master, I have my own plans for Ah Ran's future, so don't worry about it."
Zhou Chenshen pushed the old man away and asked the guard to take good care of him. Then he turned back and saw Li Ran staring at a pile of jewels in front of the bed in a daze.
Seeing him come in, Li Ran's eyes flashed: "Brother, Grandpa is so cute, giving me so many gifts. But, they are too expensive, I can't accept them."
Based on her visual estimation, these jewels are worth a lot of money.
The total value is tens of millions.
"You don't like it?"
Zhou Chenshen sat over and reached out to push the jewelry aside. "It's okay. If you don't like it, just put it aside. Grandpa is old and has always wanted to raise a good granddaughter. When he saw you, he probably treated you as his own granddaughter."
Suddenly I thought, what if I let grandpa adopt Li Ran?
In this way, Li Ran can live in the Zhou family with a legitimate reason.
"No, I don't want to be a grandfather or a granddaughter."
Li Ran refused.
