Chapter 111 Little Death
Zhou Ran snatched the pants back from the dog's mouth, and the golden retriever saw that the pants had been taken away.
It rammed into her head, causing Zhou Ran to stagger a few steps.
"What exactly do you want? I'm not a fool! Are you trying to extort me?"
Zhou Ran didn't want to go; she felt it wasn't a good thing.
Seeing that he didn't move, the golden retriever nudged him again.
Zhou Ran had no choice but to walk a few steps in the direction the golden retriever was heading.
Sure enough, when the golden retriever saw him move, it barked twice with satisfaction, as if urging him to keep going.
Zhou Ran was helpless. Now even a dog could boss him around?
Zhou Ran continued walking and returned to the villa she had just been at.
Police have cordoned off the entrance, and officers are investigating inside.
Zhou Ran looked at the golden retriever.
"The police are inside, I can't get in."
The golden retriever stood where he had just fallen and barked.
Zhou Ran walked over helplessly.
He wanted to see what this stupid dog was up to now.
He looked around but didn't see anything. The dog moved to a more distant corner and barked.
Zhou Ran followed, and as she got closer, she smelled a strong stench of blood.
Based on Zhou Ran's experience, most people couldn't survive with blood of that concentration.
He walked over and carefully examined the bushes. Hidden inside was a small suitcase.
The box wasn't big, and its color was greenish; you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.
Zhou Ran looked back at her position.
He was in a small alley at the corner of the doorway, an alley only two or three meters wide.
The surrounding area was covered by trees of varying heights.
If the camera doesn't reach you, basically no one will come.
The location at the entrance of the alley should normally be where the trash cans were placed.
The trash can was probably moved to the other side of the street to make it easier for the ambulance to get in.
If there were trash cans to cover it up, this place would look like a small secret base.
You can do whatever you want inside, or hide something, and nobody will find out.
"Help! Police officers!"
In this situation, there's definitely nothing good in that suitcase.
Zhou Ran turned around and shouted at the police inside the villa.
Professional tasks should be handled by professionals.
"What's wrong, little one?"
Zhou Ran is already quite young, with a baby face that makes her look even younger, and her curly hair makes her look even younger.
The tall policeman looked at the small, soft child in front of him.
The smile on her face softened a bit.
"The big dog found a box on the side, and it smelled really bad."
He suffered because of his appearance. Zhou Ran felt like yelling at him, but she held back, telling herself that serious matters were more important.
"It's right there! I didn't move!"
Upon hearing Zhou Ran's words, Yu Hang's expression turned serious.
He called his colleagues, and together they went over with their body cameras.
With Zhou Ran's guidance, they found the box within minutes.
Based on their experience, this box is not simple.
What's inside is probably terrifying.
Yu Hang led Zhou Ran outside the alley and told him to wait there while he went to find his colleagues from the forensic department.
After a series of photos and evidence collection, the box was taken out.
Fresh blood flowed down the seams of the box.
Zhou Ran raised an eyebrow; she was still bleeding, so she must have been dead not long ago.
Zhou Ran glanced around and looked at the goose at her feet.
One guess is that the dog's owner didn't encounter a thief or criminal.
This is most likely because they've encountered a murderer, and they're determined to kill him to silence him.
Even though she had guessed it, Zhou Ran didn't intend to say anything.
There is a well-established system here, and surveillance is ubiquitous.
It's good enough for him to be a clueless discoverer. Getting involved would be too much trouble.
Zhou Ran kicked the dog that was squatting next to her.
"I have no food at home and I don't keep dogs. You'll have to go with the police later, so don't stick to me."
The golden retriever lay on the ground whimpering.
Zhou Ran pretended not to see or hear; he was a cold-hearted person who didn't fall for any coquetry.
Yu Hang came over and took another statement from him, this time about finding the box.
It was even simpler than before; Zhou Ran even mentioned that the golden retriever had brought him over.
"This dog should know something; it even has a dog license. You can take it with you!"
Yu Hang twitched his lips; this was the first time he had ever heard of the concept of a dog license.
However, according to the rules, the dog must indeed be taken back.
Yu Hang picked up the dog leash from the ground, intending to take the dog back.
"Please keep your phone on normally recently, as we may need your assistance."
"OK."
Zhou Ran readily agreed, since he didn't plan to do anything in the near future anyway.
He said goodbye to Yu Hang and went home with his two bodyguards.
I took another shower before returning to my room.
Lying on his own big bed, he couldn't fall asleep.
Of course he wasn't scared; he wouldn't be frightened by such a small situation.
He slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night.
"I won't sleep so much next time."
Zhou Ran went downstairs in her pajamas and rummaged through the refrigerator.
Finally, I grabbed a can of Coke and drank it.
The sound of police sirens rang out outside, but quickly faded away.
It seems the police at the villa over there have left.
Zhou Ran sat down in the courtyard on the first floor.
Enjoying fruit, drinking cola, and feeling the evening breeze is so pleasant.
The only downside is that there are some mosquitoes.
The housekeeper thoughtfully had a lot of mosquito repellent brought over.
"The weather has been changing lately, and there are a lot of bugs. Zhou Shao, you should stay here for a bit and then head back."
"knew."
The butler finished giving his instructions before leaving.
Zhou Ran continued to leisurely eat her fruit.
His phone rang, he saw the caller ID, and answered it.
"Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"
"Young Master Zhou, I need your help. I'm in a difficult situation right now."
The person across from me had been drinking and was slurring their words; it was clear they were genuinely annoyed.
"Oh? You have everything now, so what worries could you possibly have?"
Zhou Ran smiled and said that what he said was not wrong.
The person opposite is Shaoyang; he has everything now.
Shao Ying was kicked out again, and now she's about to be imprisoned.
The family business will all belong to him in the future.
The beautiful woman is pregnant again, and will have a child soon.
These are the best days ever; what difficulties could there be?
Shao Yang slammed down a mouthful of wine in frustration.
"Young Master Zhou, please don't make fun of me. I know my own abilities."
Please, please help me! If it weren't for your amazing intervention last time, I would definitely be dead by now.
That's true; he fell into Shao Ying's trap last time.
Shao Ying is a really ruthless guy; he wants him to die out there.
Thanks to Zhou Ran's help, he was rescued and then helped him deal with Shao Ying.
They reclaimed their own property and drove the people out.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be sleeping on the streets now, he'd be sleeping at the bottom of a lake.
"What is it?"
"It's all because of that woman, Qiao Han. She's pregnant and is threatening me. If I don't agree to her demands, she'll ruin my reputation."
Do you have any ideas to help me?
"No, you can't even control your own lower body, how can I help you!"
Zhou Ran helped Shao Yang back then only because Shao Yang was useful and a useful pawn.
He didn't want to get involved in his relationship with the woman.
To put it bluntly, a man who can't control his lower body has no future.
A man who can't even handle a woman is utterly useless.
“I know this was my fault, but who would have thought she would try to blackmail me! I’m now in a desperate situation. I just took over the family business, and I can’t let her ruin it.”
The person opposite me, slurring their drink, was uttering the most vicious words.
Zhou Ran sneered. This kind of person deserves it; it's all the retribution he deserves.
"If you don't want to ruin your career, then just marry her. After all, isn't she carrying your heir?"
This is the safest approach; all Qiao Han wants is status, position, and resources.
They've got their eye on the power behind this kid from Shaoyang.
If Shaoyang had been even a little more ambitious and controlled himself, this whole thing wouldn't have been possible.
Now that she's already eaten, and she's pregnant.
Isn't that like someone being held hostage?
Qiao Han dared to cause trouble at this time only because she knew that Shao Yang wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.
I don't want my family to have to find another heir because of this.
After all, the Shao family still has quite a few illegitimate children.
Only Shao Ying and Shao Yang are adults.
If this drags on for a few more years, his younger brothers will grow up, and it's really uncertain who will inherit this fortune.
This is why Shaoyang is so eager to take control of the family business now.
He's got the upper hand now; even if his younger brothers rise up later, they won't be able to cause any major upheaval.
Qiao Han cleverly grasped this point, leaving Shao Yang with no other choice.
"But……"
He didn't want to marry her. Shao Yang scratched his head. If he wanted to marry her, he would have done so long ago when the rumors started.
It shouldn't have dragged on until now.
His relationship with Qiao Han was nothing more than a fleeting affair; in their line of work, this kind of thing was all too common.
One role, one new wife; one role, one new husband.
The play ended and the audience dispersed, but he lingered among the flowers, unwilling to be tied down by anyone.
"Alright, I've given you my ideas. Now you can figure out what to do with them."
Zhou Ran hung up the phone immediately.
He's already used up all his resources; you think you can get him to do something more? You're dreaming.
He understood Shao Yang's thoughts.
In his view, Zhou Ran had extraordinary abilities, and he could threaten Qiao Han to make her give up.
Or get an abortion.
He's weathered this crisis, and from now on, no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants.
But why should Zhou Ran help him?
Who would do something that doesn't bring them any benefit?
Human nature is inherently base; he is no saint.
They won't be so generous as to let people take advantage of them repeatedly without paying a price.
Zhou Ran scoffed, put her phone aside, and let Shao Yang make calls, but she didn't answer any of them.
When Shao Yang heard that the call had not been answered, he angrily slammed the phone on the ground.
Shao Yangmeng gulped down a mouthful of wine, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Even if Zhou Ran doesn't help him, he has his own ways. She's just a woman, isn't she?
He simply refused to believe that he couldn't solve it.
Zhou Ran sat outside for a while, but there were too many bugs, so she went back to her room to play on her phone.
When I scrolled to the entertainment section, I was surprised to see Qiao Han's name.
It was an official announcement for a new drama, and after much discussion among fans, plus the efforts of online trolls, it trended on social media.
This time it's a modern drama.
Zhou Ran glanced at the synopsis; it seemed to be a modern urban romance drama disguised as a business drama.
Zhou Ran mainly looked at the actor playing the male lead.
He is a very masculine actor, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes; he is quite handsome.
Zhou Ran shook her head. It's a pity. This drama probably won't go smoothly. It might even become a black mark on her history.
Given Shaoyang's petty nature, how could he possibly let such a good opportunity slip by? Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
