Chapter Thirteen: A Slap to Bring People Closer
"Is there anything else? Why did you suddenly come back?"
Zhou Ran didn't want to say much to the lunatic, but she was a little curious as to why he had suddenly returned.
Do you know Yang Cheng'er?
"who?"
Zhou Ran had no recollection of this name. He had only been here for three days and had only met a limited number of people, so he was sure he didn't recognize it.
Whether the original owner knew him or not is none of his business; he's not the original owner.
Xia Chengan, who had been observing Zhou Ran's reaction, was certain that Zhou Ran did not recognize the person, or rather, she did not recognize the name.
"You've probably seen him before; he's the one you shot and killed."
After saying that, he added, "Not bad shooting!"
One shot, one kill; excellent marksmanship.
As for Zhou Ran from before, she didn't know how to handle guns, or even anything related to that.
"It's alright, so-so. Is that Old Yang the Yang Cheng'er you mentioned?"
Xia Chenggan lazily stretched out his arms and draped them over the back of the sofa.
"Um."
What's wrong with him?
If there wasn't something wrong with the person, Xia Chenggan wouldn't have suddenly come back.
Judging by the timeline, he received the message while he was in the car and immediately returned.
The fact that they're searching so urgently suggests that this is a very important clue.
"We found out that someone hired them with the aim of capturing my brother alive."
Xia Chenggan deliberately emphasized the last two words.
Zhou Ran understood what he meant.
Captured alive, that's interesting.
"Does your family value this younger brother a lot? Or does he have some special talent?"
“My third brother is rather introverted and the most obedient. The boldest thing he ever did in his life was to insist on maintaining his engagement with the Gu family’s son against our parents.”
With an expression of utter disbelief, she asked, "What's so great about that kid?"
"Many bad habits, greasy, domineering, and slow-witted."
"Aside from having a little business sense and being able to make money, he's all flawed."
"Of course, the biggest problem is blindness."
"That woman is obviously a scheming, weak-willed woman. She's petty and can't handle anything important."
...
Xia Chenggan kept nitpicking at Gu Tingxiao's faults.
Zhou Ran desperately wanted to cover her ears and remind him that they weren't that familiar with each other.
Wasn't he aloof and aloof heartthrob before? Now he's all businesslike, talking to me about deals and terms??
How come things changed after just one trip?
Did the two slaps just now make him happy?
If he had known this guy had this fetish, he wouldn't have slapped him later.
As Xia Chengan spoke, he stared at the back of Zhou Ran's head.
Even without seeing his face, you can tell that his expression is one of utter despair.
No wonder the second child always liked to tease people; it turns out he was so funny!
"Shut up! You're disturbing me."
Zhou Ran finally lost her temper and grabbed the two mouths that kept babbling on and on.
The world quieted down, and Zhou Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
This person is too noisy. I will definitely not hit him next time, absolutely not!
Xia Chenggan looked at the approaching face with a smile on his face.
This is a classic case of throwing oneself into someone's arms, and it smells quite nice, doesn't it?
"What kind of look is that? It's so cheesy!"
Zhou Ran hurriedly withdrew her hand, realizing that she had been too close to Xia Chenggan, and quickly stepped back to create some distance.
You should stay away from this kind of mentally ill person to avoid catching some terrible disease.
He rubbed his hands vigorously on his pajamas to remove the unknown liquid that had gotten on them.
Xia Chenggan saw his actions and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He's the one who looks down on others; nobody dares to look down on him.
"You dislike me?"
Shouldn't it?
Zhou Ran felt uncomfortable with her hands sticky, and rubbing them repeatedly didn't help.
I rushed into the kitchen and washed my hands thoroughly.
Zhou Ran noticed the empty sofa on the other side, realizing that her second brother's method wasn't very effective.
Zhou Ran waited until she felt she was clean, then carefully dried her hands before coming out.
Let's continue with the previous topic.
"Since your brother doesn't have anything that others would covet, then it must be his identity. Has your Xia family offended someone recently? Or is there some project that others are eyeing?"
Xia Chenggan nodded; that was his guess too.
"You have someone in mind?"
"Somewhat, but I can't be sure."
Xia Chenggan has narrowed down the scope; all that's left is to confirm it.
"what do you want to do?"
It's so much easier to talk to smart people.
Xia Chenggan laughed and reached out his hand to Zhou Ran.
"Mr. Zhou, would you be interested in going to see a great show with me?"
"You're treating, I'll keep you company. Wait ten minutes, I'm going to change my clothes."
Zhou Ran didn't mince words. She left a comment and rushed upstairs to change her clothes.
As expected of a wealthy person, he had already changed into clothes that suited him in his wardrobe.
He habitually reached for his three-piece suit; in his past life, he practically had suits welded to his body.
Zhou Ran suddenly realized that her current body was that of a child, so wearing a suit wasn't appropriate.
He casually grabbed a white Tang suit and put it on neatly.
A white silk blouse with black knotted buttons and bamboo embroidery on the hem.
Loose, soft, and comfortable.
He casually picked up a matching bamboo flute, which could be used as a weapon in critical moments.
He's not entirely safe right now; who knows if the guy surnamed Xia can protect him?
After all, it seems that this guy can't even protect his own brother.
If he hadn't suddenly appeared, that kid would probably be dead.
He was neither used to nor liked entrusting his life entirely to someone else.
He rushed downstairs, where Xia Chenggan was already waiting.
He looked up when he heard the noise and the first thing he saw was a smiling face.
Zhou Ran is very cute, inheriting her mother's big eyes and her father's handsome features.
She hadn't fully grown in, still had some baby fat, and sported a head full of curly hair, looking like a delicate and beautiful doll.
The first impression they give is that they are cute and pretty.
He used to always keep his head down, his hair covering half of his face, and the other half of his face looked gloomy.
He exuded a gloomy aura, with a hint of madness.
It's as if the whole world owes him something, and he wants to go crazy and destroy the world at any moment.
Now, Zhou Ran has shed all her gloom and wears a bright smile on her baby face.
It swept away the gloomy atmosphere, like a cheerful little puppy.
"Alright, let's go!"
Xia Chenggan watched as the person lunged at him.
Instinctively, I reached out to catch him, ruffled his fluffy little head, and praised him for being such a good boy.
Zhou Ran deftly dodged Xia Chenggan's outstretched hand and rushed out the door without even glancing at Xia Chenggan.
Unfortunately, Xia Chenggan withdrew his hand and followed without the slightest embarrassment.
His second brother said that he should be thick-skinned, have a shameless spirit, and not have any idol baggage.
Once in the car, Zhou Ran deliberately sat in the seat furthest away from him.
Xia Chenggan has been acting like he's sick ever since, so he'd better avoid him.
Xia Chenggan didn't know what to say.
Zhou Ran deliberately didn't want to talk about it.
An eerie silence fell over the car as it drove quietly along the road.
They went to the hospital quietly.
Looking at the hospital sign, Zhou Ran glanced at Xia Chenggan.
Meeting his strange gaze fixed intently on her, Zhou Ran silently turned her head away, swallowing back all the words she was about to say.
Seeing that he avoided his venomous gaze, Xia Chengan laughed even more heartily.
"Get out of the car, the real show is probably already underway."
Xia Chenggan got out of the car, and Zhou Ran silently followed.
Then I witnessed a massive display of showing off.
They got out of the car and walked down the red carpet, where two rows of people lined the entrance to welcome them.
Zhou Ran raised an eyebrow. This world is indeed sick; he often felt out of place because he was too normal.
I really want to ask, are all the people in the hospital so idle? Instead of saving lives, they're here greeting guests?
Given Xia Chenggan's current worrying mental state, Zhou Ran remained silent, simply observing the situation.
He followed behind, feeling a faint sense of social death.
"Welcome, Mr. Xia!"
"Hello, Mr. Xia!"
As they walked in, they heard a chorus of greetings.
Zhou Ran awkwardly dug three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms out of the ground with her toes.
He regretted it.
Why are you so rude to agree to come over?
He should have refused decisively. Next time, even if that bastard begs him on his knees, he won't come.
Despite her inner turmoil, Zhou Ran maintained her signature smile.
My etiquette teacher taught me this in my past life: "Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, you will remain calm and composed."
Is anyone there?
"They're all here."
"Okay, let's go!"
Xia Chenggan didn't forget to turn back and tell Zhou Ran, "Keep up!"
Zhou Ran nodded and frantically pressed the elevator button, yelling, "Hurry up and open the elevator!" He didn't want to be the butt of the crowd.
That's right, a crowd of people were watching the spectacle and discussing it amongst themselves.
He didn't want to hear what he had to say; it would only make things more awkward.
"Over here!"
Xia Chenggan reached out and grabbed Zhou Ran's arm, pulling her in another direction.
As a shareholder of the hospital, he has his own private elevator.
"Why are you leaving? The elevator's here, hurry up and get on."
Zhou Ran, with an unknown amount of strength, pulled the person back into the elevator, giving them no chance to back out.
Xia Chenggan was pulled into the elevator and looked helplessly at Zhou Ran.
"What's wrong? What kind of look is that?"
Zhou Ran withdrew her hand in disgust. Oh no, she accidentally touched something dirty. She'd have to use disinfectant to clean it later.
"What kind of expression is that on your face?"
He had already noticed Zhou Ran's evasive behavior and found her expression amusing, so he wasn't angry anymore.
Everyone else was left behind, and Xia Chenggan took on the responsibility of leading the way.
They arrived at the ward door quickly.
The door says 407.
They had just arrived at the door and hadn't even knocked when they heard shouts coming from inside, as if they were arguing.
