Chapter Forty-Six: My First Request
"Okay. Deal."
Zhou Ran raised her hand with a triumphant look on her face, grabbed Xia Chenggan's hand, and gave him a hard high five.
They gave Xia Chenggan no chance to back out.
Xia Chenggan withdrew his slightly numb hand, feeling a sense of loss.
Zhou Ran smiled slyly.
Meeting Xia Chenggan's gaze, she put on a bright smile.
"Young Master Xia, are you ready? I'm about to make my first request."
"Okay, you say it, as long as I can do it."
Xia Chenggan had already guessed what Zhou Ran wanted.
Do they want him to handle the trouble, or do they want the Zhou family's shares?
But then I realized it wasn't that simple. Why would someone make such a foolish request?
"Marry me!"
"ah?"
Xia Chenggan blinked; it seemed there was something wrong with his ears, and he had misheard.
What did Zhou Ran just say?
"You heard me right, and you're not hallucinating. I'm talking about marrying me, getting a marriage certificate, officially getting married, and becoming your spouse."
Zhou Ran repeated herself, explaining in detail and earnestly.
Xia Chenggan stared straight at Zhou Ran's face, momentarily dazed. Had she switched back to her old soul?
"No need for that expression. I'm still me, even if the person hasn't changed. It's just a wedding, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Zhou Ran looked Xia Chenggan up and down.
"You don't think I'd do anything to you because of this, do you? I'm not interested in disabled people, and I wasn't interested in you even when you weren't disabled."
Xia Chenggan only took the matter seriously after confirming that the other party had not changed the person.
After a moment of thought, he asked in return, "What do you hope to gain from marriage?"
He was certain that Zhou Ran didn't like him now, and there was no infatuation in her eyes.
But then he suddenly made this request, without any apparent purpose, which he didn't believe at all.
"Oh, perhaps I need a formal identity to do what I want to do?"
Zhou Ran said nonchalantly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if Xia Chenggan doesn't agree."
He planned that if the other party refused, he would ask Xia Cheng'an or Gu Tingxiao.
Xia Chenggan felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if he had seen through Xia's thoughts.
"What will you do if I don't agree?"
"Oh, you have a younger brother, and the Gu family also has Gu Tingxiao. Either one will do."
Zhou Ran shrugged indifferently and stated his plan bluntly, ignoring Xia Chenggan's darkening face immediately after he finished speaking.
I agree!
Xia Chenggan did not want to give him the opportunity to harm his brother and Gu Tingxiao.
"Why didn't you just make it this easy earlier? I remember you guys can get married, register it, and have your spousal status recognized?"
"right."
"What procedures are needed? Let's go back and get married first."
Zhou Ran asked anxiously, as he needed to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Xia Chenggan's gaze was complicated. He met Zhou Ran's bright eyes, took a deep breath, and said.
"Leave the preparations to me; we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau when we get back."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. You're the kind of person I can trust to get things done."
After saying that, he lay back down on the bed and added a sentence.
"Hurry up, I don't have that much time to waste on this."
"knew."
Seeing Zhou Ran watching TV listlessly, Xia Chenggan turned and left.
Mi Tian silently pushed Xia Chenggan out of the room.
She suppressed the excitement in her eyes; what a massive forced marriage scene this was.
Domineering CEO's Forced Love: An Alien Version of the Dominant and Defensive Romance.
The normal version is not what Young Master Xia said domineeringly.
【Man, you've completely captured my attention. You've achieved your goal. We'll get married when we get back. I'll give you the respect due to Mrs. Xia; don't even think about anything else.】
Isn't this the normal version? But in reality, Young Master Xia, this domineering CEO, was forced into love.
But somehow this is even more exciting than the normal way.
Haha, as expected, love between men should be a battle of equals, with each man being incredibly dominant.
Xia Chengan only realized after leaving that he hadn't come to marry him.
He wanted to know how Zhou Ran found them.
Based on Mi Tian's description, their previous analysis indicated that the problem lay in the mountains near Gu Tingxiao's old family residence.
Their last identifying traces disappeared from there.
They should be able to find the person fastest by going over there.
However, after reading it, Zhou Ran overruled everyone's objections and led her people to T City, a coastal city.
Beijing and T City are adjacent to each other. T City has the largest outlet to the sea and is only a little over two hours away from Beijing.
But it was also the place they ruled out immediately.
There are only two roads to T City, and they have both been checked and found to be safe.
Moreover, they did not believe that taking people out of the capital would be an easy task.
You need to show your ID card to enter and exit here; the identity verification is very strict.
Even if you take three unconscious people separately, it will still attract attention.
The Gu and Xia families reacted immediately. The three young masters had only been missing for a little over an hour when martial law was declared in the capital.
Therefore, they believed that these people were still in the capital with the three young masters, but they didn't know where they were.
Zhou Ran insisted that they had already left the city and were in T City.
It's most likely on that island near T city.
Mi Tian and Qian Kong stuck to their own opinions.
Finally, Xiahou Nan made the final decision to split the operation into two groups.
Zhou Ran, along with Mi Tian and Qian Kong, led a group of people to search for the person.
In the capital, the Gu and Xia families sent people to search for any clues.
In the end, it turned out that it was Zhou Ran who was right; the three young masters were indeed on an island near T City.
They even went so far as to hollow out the entire island to use it as a secret base.
It's amazing that no one has discovered this place for so many years.
When she told this story, the admiration in her eyes was undisguised.
Especially after hearing that Zhou Ran single-handedly took down the opposing leader and handed over the results to the authorities.
Mi Tian wondered how Zhou Ran's brain was so clever and efficient.
The more capable a person is, the more they admire others. Hearing how amazing Zhou Ran was, he praised her repeatedly to Xia Chenggan.
Xia Chenggan came to ask Zhou Ran why she knew he was on the island.
How did they know who did it? And how were they able to catch him so accurately?
He only discovered he was on the island after obtaining the map designated as Code 1 and during his escape.
He had previously thought he was on a mountain in the capital.
Zhou Ran's mysterious abilities always piqued his interest.
He didn't expect that when he came here, this person wouldn't give him a chance at all, and directly forced him to get married.
Xia Chenggan was helpless; his illness had made him slow to react, and he had actually lost the battle.
But now he feels it's unnecessary to go back and ask again.
Zhou Ran clearly didn't want to say, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, and he would be able to tell.
Zhou Ran lay sprawled on the bed, lazily letting the light from the television illuminate the camera in the corner.
He did indeed do it on purpose, preventing Xia Chenggan from asking questions.
This time he was too high-profile and his actions were too eye-catching, so some people might question his motives.
He didn't want to attract too much attention, so the fact that he was Xia's spouse was a good shield.
He did everything to show those who doubted him that everything he did was to win Xia Chenggan's heart.
He would do anything crazy for Xia Chenggan.
It's also important to maintain the original Zhou Ran's character setting, otherwise, if the change is too rapid, it will arouse suspicion.
As for Xia Chenggan's heart? He wouldn't even take it if it were given to him for free.
It's not like eating Xia Chenggan's heart will grant him immortality, so what use would he have for it?
Keep a low profile for now, behave yourself for a while, and once the attention is low, then do something else.
This was simply the most effective option when forced into a corner.
Guo Xiang told him that this base was a research base for Asian secrets.
It started with research into the reasons why Asians age slowly, in order to provide products that promote longevity to those foreign "old monsters" who want to live longer.
The Asians here are of all kinds, and without exception, they all live very long lives.
Their DNA was broken down and studied to maximize its potential.
However, after a period of research, it was found that while Asians are long-lived, they cannot achieve immortality at all.
As they learned more about civilization, they discovered that the ancient people had long ago invented methods for achieving immortality.
Cultivating immortality and ascending to godhood, performing sacrifices to become a god, and seizing another's body for rebirth.
Each of these can achieve the goal of immortality.
Their research began to change; the first two methods had little effect.
The main problem is that the sacrificial rituals are too complex and the procedures are too complicated. These foreigners don't have the necessary background knowledge to understand them.
If we fail here, it will be a good thing.
Who knew that the last rebirth through possession would touch some of the very edges?
Foreigners also believe that the soul of the dead wanders the world.
This coincides with the traditional Chinese belief in ghosts and spirits.
They thought that if they couldn't achieve immortality, then putting a dead person into the body of a living person and bringing them back to life would be a form of immortality.
So their experiments went in the direction of possession and rebirth.
Then they need a soul, and a body suitable for that soul.
Code 1 is the first perfect experimental subject and the best container.
As for the soul, they have just captured it.
Code Name 1 underwent three experiments, and each time the soul that tried to possess another died, Code Name 1 survived.
They believed that the soul and body were not compatible, so they sent Code 1 to find a suitable soul.
Let her capture the soul herself to increase the power of the soul's hatred, thus increasing the chances of success.
Upon learning of their experiments, Zhou Ran knew he couldn't expose himself.
If the authorities find out that he was reborn and possessed Zhou Ran's body, he will be resurrected.
Then he will be trapped here and never be able to get out.
The unknown is always frightening; it needs to be made controllable.
As for Guo Xiang, Zhou Ran specifically instructed him not to say a word about the possession of souls, otherwise no one could save them.
Xia Chenggan is in the know, so aligning yourself with him at this time is the safest approach.
Marriage is the strongest bond that allows strangers to forge a relationship.
After weighing the pros and cons from all sides, Zhou Ran decisively forced Xia Chenggan, who had come to her door, to marry her.
He was determined to take Xia Chenggan's position as his wife; no one could take it from him.
What made him make such a quick decision was another secret Guo Xiang mentioned.
It's about the secret of why they came here and why they have become who they are now.
What kind of world is this? What are they here for?
Knowing all this, we must cling tightly to Xia Chenggan, this powerful figure.
Zhou Ran would never let go. 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.
