Chapter 297 Repeating the Same Trick
They originally wanted to use Si Jiliang as a breakthrough, but they didn't expect the plan to fail and the situation to collapse completely.
"What exactly happened?" Lu Ziyi asked hurriedly, a look of anxiety flashing across his face.
Bai Zhuwei briefly recounted what had happened to them, and An Li's expression grew increasingly grim as she listened.
It seems impossible to use this incident to target Jiang Ran now.
Thinking of this, An Li's expression suddenly darkened. Bai Zhuwei noticed the change in her expression and said seemingly unintentionally, "It seems that such crooked methods are ultimately unacceptable. The only way to deal with such people is to use direct violence."
As An Li listened, her brow furrowed slightly, but she already had a plan in mind.
After Bai Zhuwei finished speaking, she pursed her lips slightly and continued, "However, we shouldn't be afraid of her recently. After all, if things are exposed, how could we possibly offend her, who is protected by the Si family?"
Her words were full of self-deprecation. Upon hearing this, An Li's face turned cold, and she replied in a cold voice, "Why are you also boosting the morale of others while belittling your own?"
"Are we just going to let her do whatever she wants and simply let bygones be bygones?"
Seeing her displeasure and cold tone, Bai Zhuwei deliberately feigned helplessness: "What can we do?"
"What to do? Naturally, we must ruin her reputation and leave her with nothing!" An Li said through gritted teeth, a ruthless glint in her eyes.
After listening to this, Bai Zhuwei exchanged a few more pleasantries and then left under the pretext of having something to do.
As soon as he stepped outside, a cold smile flashed across his face, followed by a muttered, "What an idiot!"
She simply added fuel to the fire with a few words, and they fell for it so easily.
On the other side, Lu Ziyi also chimed in with malicious mockery of Jiang Ran, which fueled An Li's anger even more.
Her gaze suddenly darkened, and she replied coldly, "She got away with it this time by luck, but she won't be so lucky next time..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi raised an eyebrow, his face showing confusion.
Anli said coldly, "I'll arrange for someone to take advantage of her being alone and teach her a good lesson!"
“Okay!” Lu Ziyi nodded and replied in a deep voice.
After the two discussed their plan, Lu Ziyi kept a close eye on Jiang Ran and noticed that her daily route was just a straight line between two points.
From the villa to Si Jiliang's residence, he also brought Si Zuochen and Si Youlin with him.
Left with no other choice, Lu Ziyi could only suppress his urgency for the time being.
"Boss, she came out alone!"
Just when Lu Ziyi had given up all hope, the thug suddenly spoke up from the side.
Lu Ziyi was startled and looked up, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Ran driving away alone.
Seeing this, he quickly ordered, "Follow them!"
The thug responded in a low voice, then quickly drove off at a distance to follow Jiang Ran's car. Learning from the lesson of being discovered last time, Lu Ziyi did not rush to stop her this time.
The medicinal herb shop is located in a secluded alley, accessible only on foot.
Lu Ziyi's eyes flashed slightly as a plan came to mind. He then ordered his men to get out of the car with him. When Jiang Ran came out of the medicine shop and walked into an alley, Lu Ziyi quickly waved to his thugs behind him.
The thugs swarmed forward and surrounded Jiang Ran.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing across her face as she coldly watched Lu Ziyi slowly approach from the crowd.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ziyi, who had disappeared without a trace, would appear at this time, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly masked his anger, his expression unchanged, and coldly scoffed, "You actually dare to come out?"
Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Lu Ziyi's face suddenly darkened, and he coldly retorted, "Sharp-tongued!"
"I hope you can still be this stubborn in a moment!"
Upon hearing Lu Ziyi's threatening words, Jiang Ran's lips curled slightly, a cold glint flashing across her face as she scoffed, "Have you forgotten how you used to hide like a rat in the street, afraid to show your face?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept around, and he sneered again: "What? Are you planning to use the same trick again? Have you forgotten the lesson from last time so quickly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ziyi instantly recalled those unbearable scenes, his anger intensified, and he coldly retorted, "You got lucky and escaped before, but you definitely won't have that kind of luck this time!"
Having said that, he didn't waste any more time. With a slight wave of his hand, he took a half step back. The thugs immediately understood and swarmed forward, pressing closer and closer to Jiang Ran.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran's expression suddenly turned fierce. Just as the person in front of her was about to reach out and grab her, Jiang Ran dodged to the side and kicked him to the ground. Then she and the others began to fight head-on.
But she doesn't know how to fight at all. The few times she had fought before, she had only managed to win by using the technique of using minimal force to overcome great strength.
Lu Ziyi had her figured out, which is why he brought these people here with such confidence.
The two sides were vastly different in strength. Jiang Ran couldn't avoid it and was grabbed by the arm by someone, unable to break free.
Seeing Jiang Ran subdued, Lu Ziyi slowly stepped forward, a look of disdain flashing across his face before he sneered, "What? Weren't you so arrogant?!"
"You still ended up in my hands, didn't you? I'd like to see who can find out you were kidnapped without anyone noticing since there are no security cameras here!"
Seeing him making sarcastic remarks from the side, Jiang Ran suddenly sneered, "A petty person who has achieved his goal!"
One sentence instantly struck a nerve with Lu Ziyi. His eyes narrowed sharply, a sinister glint flashing between his brows. He then coldly retorted, "I'd like to see if you'll still act this way when you're cornered!"
Having said that, he waved his hand slightly and coldly ordered, "Take him away!"
The thugs instantly understood, pinning Jiang Ran's hands behind her back and secretly taking her away. Jiang Ran's gaze swept over the medicine that had fallen to the ground during the fight. Taking advantage of their inattention, she had secretly slipped a talisman among them, so that if they noticed anything amiss, they would immediately realize she had been kidnapped.
On the other side, seeing that Jiang Ran hadn't returned yet, Si Youlin couldn't help but ask, "Didn't she say she'd come back to pick us up after buying the medicine? Why is she taking so long?"
Si Zuochen suddenly felt uneasy and called Jiang Ran, but no one answered.
Seeing this, Si Youlin frowned slightly, his heart tightened, and he said in a low voice, "Brother, I have a bad feeling."
The two were of one mind. Si Zuochen's expression suddenly turned cold, and he replied in a deep voice, "Go find Daddy!"
Si Yanxiao was holding a senior management meeting when his secretary suddenly approached and whispered a few words in his ear. A look of surprise flashed across Si Yanxiao's face. Then, he raised his hand slightly and said in a cold voice, "The meeting is suspended. If there is anything to add, go directly to Gu Nan."
After saying that, he turned and left. Gu Nan then spoke up, "The meeting continues."
Si Yanxiao strode to the office, pushed open the door, and saw Si Zuochen and Si Youlin sitting anxiously in their chairs. Upon seeing him enter, they quickly stood up, walked over to him, and said, "Jiang Ran is missing!"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's pupils constricted sharply, and he looked surprised. He gently reassured them, "Don't panic. Tell me what happened."
“After she bought the medicine, she never came back. No one answered the phone, and my brother and I both felt uneasy.”
"Daddy, quickly send someone to look for them!"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's gaze darkened, and he replied in a low voice, "Alright."
They immediately sent people to investigate Jiang Ran's whereabouts, only to find that the last place she was last seen on surveillance was indeed near the herbal medicine station.
He then took the twins and drove off to look for clues.
Throughout the journey, Si Yanxiao frowned deeply, his expression filled with a sinister aura. The person behind the scenes was still lurking in the shadows, eyeing the Si family with predatory intent. If this was also his doing, things would likely become much more complicated...
After getting off the bus, Si Yanxiao walked towards the alley. Before he even reached the herbal medicine station, his eyes swept across the ground and he noticed a talisman under the scattered herbs. He quickly stepped forward and picked it up.
Upon seeing it, Si Zuochen's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It's Jiang Ran's handwriting!"
Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes and glanced around, his brows furrowing slightly, a deep meaning flashing across his face.
He then made a phone call to his subordinates and sternly ordered, "Get a copy of the surveillance footage from the south alley entrance!"
Si Youlin chimed in softly, "Perhaps we can locate her through her phone."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao nodded slightly and then sent that person to tamper with the phone's location.
The message that came through said the phone was in the car, and that this road was obviously impassable.
A moment later, the surveillance video was sent directly to Si Yanxiao's phone. The three of them sat together in the car, ready to find clues from it.
