Chapter 83 Things Have Changed
"Is this going too far? Are we, the Xia family, some kind of lawless madmen?"
"Exactly, this sounds like something out of a cult."
"We are a legitimate company."
"Manager, when should we begin our counterattack?"
...
Some people were furious after seeing the comments online.
Such a good company of theirs has been portrayed as an exploitative landlord.
Some went too far, calling them dens and breeding grounds for instigating crime.
This is infuriating.
Do these people have no brains?
To criticize for the sake of criticizing.
The manager reassured everyone.
"Take as many screenshots as you can. Once the higher-ups give the order, fight back. If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility."
Upon hearing this, everyone rubbed their hands together, ready to make a big splash.
Go up against those PR professionals and see how many eyes the King of Horses has.
At Gu's, all the employees are busy.
Documents were delivered to Gu Tingxiao's office one by one.
"President Gu, our operations department is ready, the online trolls we contacted are all in place, and all the necessary connections have been established. We're just waiting for your order."
"No rush, let the bullets fly for a while, then catch these people by the tail and crush them."
Gu Tingxiao's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
This was their most formal counterattack since they were kidnapped.
Those people are too slippery to be fooled.
The finishing touches were done exceptionally well.
Both he and Xia Chenggan came up empty-handed.
Fortunately, the two of them teamed up this time and managed to capture the person.
Anyone who dares to lay a hand on him must be prepared to pay with their life.
"yes!"
Are all those people watching?
"I'm keeping an eye on it, don't worry, it definitely won't run away."
"That's good. How's Qiao Han doing?"
"There's been no movement so far, but we've got people keeping a close eye on things."
"Alright. Let me see what the people behind this are up to. My Gu family is not something those people can just mess with."
Here, CEO Gu has already made his domineering entrance.
The Gu family's secretaries were also extremely busy.
They don't pay attention to what's online; these are just clowns.
They focus on potential partners and projects.
They worked quickly, and the documents soon reached Xia Chenggan's desk.
Looking at the projects that were found to have problems.
Xia Chenggan rubbed his brow bone to relieve his tired mood.
Fortunately, it's still within our control.
Following Zhou Ran's earlier warning, Xia Chenggan secretly launched a thorough investigation into the Xia family.
How could their family members have one accident after another so easily?
As long as he is alive, he will not allow anyone to harm his family.
Unless he is entangled in something, and the person who makes the move is someone he knows.
Therefore, a thorough self-examination is imperative.
He hired professionals at high salaries, one team conducting overt investigations and another team conducting covert investigations, to begin a thorough investigation.
We've recently uncovered quite a few things.
That's why he didn't sleep a wink last night.
The things they found were far more serious than he had imagined.
Trusted subordinates, partners, and familiar relatives.
None of them ran away, and none of them showed any mercy to their family.
The Gu family is all corrupt, and he especially wants to expose Gu Tingxiao. They haven't had a martial arts exchange in a long time.
Let's take this opportunity to exchange ideas.
"What are the rumors going on outside?"
"This is outrageous!"
"Have all three of them been caught?"
"We caught him. One of them had gone on vacation. Our men caught him yesterday while he was away in another city."
"Okay, let's begin!"
Xia Chenggan suppressed his emotions; he was now the person in charge of the Xia family.
Those who come to provoke him, let them see what he's capable of.
"yes!"
The school bell rang, signaling the end of the school term.
Zhou Ran walked out, and Xia Chengping rushed over.
"Brother Zhou! Are you coming with us?"
"No, I'm going back. You can go on your own."
Do you know where I'm going?
"I know, are you going to find Xia Chenggan?"
"As expected, my brother Zhou is the smartest. Aren't you going? My brother really needs you right now."
"No, I have something to do. You guys go ahead!"
"Alright then, we're leaving."
Xia Chengan pulled the clingy Xia Chengping away.
They got into the car and headed to Xia's headquarters. They were a little worried about Xia Chenggan, whose leg was still not healed, and wondered if he was angry.
As brothers, they had to go and offer them warmth.
Zhou Ran smiled as she watched them leave.
No matter how similar he is to Xia Chenggan, they are still different.
He was a lone wolf; he had nothing to protect.
Xia Chenggan is a lion, and he wants to protect his clan.
They are different soils, yet they grow the same variety of flowers.
Xia Chenggan looked more beautiful, while he looked more haggard.
They each possess their own unique beauty.
He got into the car, but the driver had been changed. Yu Qing was lying in the passenger seat, his eyes closed, already fast asleep.
The short-haired girl turned her head and gestured to Zhou Ran.
"Boss!"
"Okay, let's go! Let's go see some old friends."
"Okay, hold on tight."
With a tap of the accelerator, the car roared off, quickly disappearing from the crowded streets.
They rushed toward the edge of the city.
Even at full speed, it took them almost half an hour to get there.
This is a manor, covering a vast area.
They arrived at the entrance, but were stopped by the security guard.
"This is private property. Do you have an invitation?"
"Give your boss a call and tell him that an old friend has come to collect a debt."
When the security guard heard what the girl said, he asked her a question.
"What's your name? I need to tell the boss."
“Tell him my name is Qiu Jing.”
"Okay, just a moment."
The security guard quickly made a phone call.
Qiu Jing sat in the car waiting.
If Xia Chengan were here, he would recognize him.
This is where their class holds games.
It was also the place where he first encountered the woman who attacked and kidnapped him.
Zhou Ran sat quietly in the back seat.
The security guard quickly confirmed the details and informed Qiu Jing.
“Our boss is waiting for you in cabin number three. Just walk straight along the main road, turn right at the end, and you’ll be there.”
"good."
Qiu Jing started the car and, following the security guard's directions, arrived at cabin number three.
Zhou Ran got off the bus and stood in front of cabin number three.
Qiu Jing followed and stood behind Zhou Ran, ready to protect her at any time.
They walked to the door, and Qiu Jing rang the doorbell.
The clear sound of camel bells.
The rhythm of the tapping is the prelude to a familiar tune.
It was originally a broken lullaby, with only a few melodies.
He had heard it before; that person had hummed it countless times.
The door opened, and sound came from the speaker above.
Welcome!
As Zhou Ran and her companion walked in, they were greeted by a huge carpet that almost covered the entire living room.
It is embroidered with golden dragons and soaring phoenixes.
He remembered someone telling him that.
The dragon and phoenix symbolize good fortune; they are a match made in heaven, perfect for us.
What a pity! Things have changed, and so have the people.
Zhou Ran walked straight in and sat down on the sofa.
A sound came from the loudspeaker.
"Heh, even with a different appearance, it's still you. Are you so sure I won't tamper with things in the house?"
"You don't dare? You coward, you don't even dare to meet them, what else would you dare to do?"
Zhou Ran's arrogant voice showed no mercy whatsoever.
He was in a very bad mood. He came here hoping to see someone, perhaps another old friend.
Who knew that the other party would leave him with so many things that could evoke memories?
But it hides its head and tail and refuses to show itself.
"Heh, still as arrogant as ever. I dare not see you. If I stayed here, you would have already wrapped me up."
The voice coming from the loudspeaker trembled slightly, a mixture of excitement and fear.
"It seems you are familiar with my methods. Unfortunately, I don't remember ever knowing you!"
Why don't you recognize me? What gives you the right not to recognize me?
The sound from the loudspeaker instantly broke his defenses; he could endure anything.
The only thing she couldn't bear was that Zhou Ran didn't remember him.
"You're trying to impersonate Guo Xiang, but you're not convincing."
"I didn't act well? How was I not good at it? It was exactly the same."
"Your eyes, your eyes disgust me."
Zhou Ran continued, saying that he had known all along that the Guo Xiang in this world was someone else.
This is not Guo Xiang from his world.
He just couldn't guess what that person impersonating Guo Xiang was trying to do.
Why did Guo Xiang from the last century get involved in that incident?
With so many mysteries, it's better to wait and see.
Now that the fox's tail has been revealed, hasn't it?
"You actually figured it out a long time ago? You're really smart and capable."
He's right, you're a formidable opponent! Don't underestimate him, don't underestimate him.
Zhou Ran raised an eyebrow. It seems he has someone backing him up!
That damned rat is hiding well enough; he'll definitely find him.
Do you know why I don't call you out on it?
"Why? What do you want to do? You can't catch me."
The fake Guo Xiang saw how Zhou Ran caught that foreign spy.
He couldn't believe he was running so fast.
Zhou Ran can still catch him? He's not a god!
"Beg me, I am your god, I hold your life and death in my hands!"
Zhou Ran, unusually, spoke with a domineering air, displaying a rare display of childishness.
The other side was as if they were being choked; not a sound came out.
Zhou Ran, this benevolent deity, did not despise his followers for their lack of manners.
Instead, he said...
"The Gu family and the Xia family have joined forces. They will find you through all the connections. Run! You're finished. You won't be able to escape."
"you……"
A sound came from the loudspeaker, followed by a crackling sound.
Then peace returned.
After a long while, Qiu Jing's phone rang.
"Yes, yes, okay."
Qiu Jing hung up the phone.
He respectfully reported to Zhou Ran, "Boss, the person has escaped!"
"Okay, keep an eye on things this time."
"Yes, the order has already been given."
Zhou Ran nodded and stood up from the sofa.
I wandered around the room casually. There were white curtains with blue and purple floral patterns, a dark brown leather sofa, and a solid wood wine cabinet.
Red wine, white wine, and fruit wine were arranged in that order.
They are not arranged by year, but by the color of the bottles.
The strange and peculiar obsession with cleanliness all felt so familiar.
None of the things here are things I remember.
But they all have traces of memories.
He remembers the argument when choosing the sofa.
The other person said a light color would look better, but he insisted on a dark brown, because it's understated, low-key, and easy to maintain.
In the end, the other person compromised, allowing him to successfully order the sofa in coffee color.
Their arguments ranged from sofas to curtains, from bedding to decorations.
Even on the smallest matter, there are differing opinions.
The two could never reach an agreement, and in the end, either he or the other person would compromise.
I miss the home I once built with my own hands.
A sense of melancholy washes over me. This is no longer my home; the home that once stood there is gone, everything has changed. (Author's note:)
