Chapter 6 makes it easier for me to catch them all in one fell swoop.
The girl finally calmed down and looked at Shanran, saying, "You have blood on you. I have a wet towel here. You can wipe it off."
He then soaked the towel in water and walked over to hand it to Shanran.
The girl's face and body were covered in blood, but she ignored it and just kept looking at Shanran.
"These bastards came from the slums of District 5. They followed my sister and barged in when she came in. My sister has the Bauhinia Flower ability; her body can turn into a plant and grow flowers. The pollen can cause coughing and asthma. The two people on the ground were coughing so badly they couldn't move, so the other two simply knocked them unconscious."
My sister quickly lost her strength and was kicked away by them. Thank goodness, thank goodness you came...
"May I ask your name? I... I will definitely find a way to repay you."
"Shanran, my name is Shanran," Shanran thought for a moment, then looked at the girl, "I don't want anything right now. If you want to repay me, try to live. Once Zone 1 is temporarily stable, go to the safe zone. If we can meet again then, you can repay me."
"Safe zone?" the girl asked, puzzled.
Shanran nodded, said nothing more, washed herself several times to clean the blood off her skin, and then turned and left.
"Lord Shan, my name is Mo Yunyun, and my sister's name is Mo Qiqi. I don't have any special abilities, but I will try my best to survive!"
Upon hearing the way the other person addressed her, Shan Ran nearly tripped over her own foot.
Why does it sound so much like a mountain bandit?
"Okay, try to live."
After leaving the house, Shanran made a phone call.
"Hey, Miss Shan, did you get the knife?"
“Zack, thank you, the knife is very nice... but your management of the urban village is terrible, the robbers in the 5th district slums are coming and going as they please.”
Zack is Shanran's contact in the black market and also the underground manager of this urban village.
"What? What kind of bastards from District 5 dare to come here and act so arrogantly? Where are they? I'll send someone over to check right away."
“I’ve taken care of it,” Shan Ran said after giving the address. “Zack, as a friendly partner, let me remind you to stock up on supplies, stock up on some cold-weather clothing, and prepare sufficient weapons for self-defense. Be careful in three days and find a safe and sturdy house to stay in.”
"Hiss... Miss Shan, what do you mean by this? Three days later? Do you have some news? I can buy information, the price is negotiable."
Shan Ran chuckled softly, "Zack, this message is free if you trust me."
That's all, goodbye.
After saying that, Shanran hung up the phone.
Zack knew Shanran's parents and had interacted with them before. After learning that Shanran had come to live in the Third Continent, he took the initiative to contact her.
The two sides had little contact before, but for Shanran now, it is a valuable connection.
After getting into the car, a commotion came from the street. Shanran looked over and saw that Zack's men had dragged out the other intruders and brought them to the street to beat them up.
Shan Ran glanced at it, then turned around and left.
When she got home, the worker told her that a man and a woman had come by that morning. Based on their description, Shanran guessed that it was Aunt Zhang and her son.
Shan Ran clicked her tongue in disgust. They hadn't even come to her door; instead, they had come to her.
Just then, Shanran's phone rang.
Upon seeing Aunt Zhang's name, Shan Ran frowned slightly.
"Hello, Aunt Zhang."
"Ranran, are you home yet? I came to your house today to clean, but you weren't home. Why have you changed the locks? Aunt Zhang's key won't open the door."
Aunt Zhang deliberately downplayed the fact that her son had also come.
Shan Ran casually twirled the end of her hair. "Well, there were too many workers. The locks were changed as soon as the interior was finished. I'll give you the new key when you come over tomorrow."
"Okay, Ranran, what time will you be home tomorrow?"
Shan Ran thought for a moment, "Let's do it at 10 p.m. I'm out all day."
"It's so late. It's not very safe outside lately. I saw several assaults today, so I'm a little afraid to go out at night..."
Aunt Zhang pretended to hesitate before revealing her purpose, "Ranran, ten o'clock is a bit late, can I bring my son with me?"
Shan Ran raised an eyebrow. "Sure, you can all come together."
It makes it easy for me to catch them all at once.
Aunt Zhang smiled and agreed, then hung up the phone, nodded to her son, and indicated that everything was fine.
"Mom, when we go tomorrow, let's not rush. We still need to find out if Shanran has any special abilities, and what those abilities are."
"I know, I know, but there are two of us, are we afraid of a little girl like her?"
Zhang Xinren shook his head in disapproval. "Mom, you're wrong about that. We shouldn't use force. Your son is handsome and capable. Is it really that hard to win Shan Ran's favor?"
Aunt Zhang imagined that scene and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
“Our son is so thoughtful. You can take your time. Once you’re with her, everything she has will be yours.”
Zhang Xinren laughed too, "It's not just mine, it's also my mother's."
——
Shan Ran was also full of wonderful expectations for tomorrow's activities, humming a song as she took out the fresh vegetables she had bought today.
After eating fast food for several days, I'm going to cook a big meal today.
Shan Ran's hand, which was holding vegetables, suddenly stopped.
How do you cook again?
Wash the vegetables first, then put them in the pan, add oil, turn on the heat, add salt, and it's ready to serve!
The edges are a bit burnt, and the smell...
It has no taste.
Shanran put down her chopsticks with disdain and rested her chin on her hand in resignation.
No matter which world it is, it seems that Shanran's cooking skills have never been unlocked.
Forget it, I'll just heat up a hamburger. Food is hard to come by these days, so let's not waste it.
After finishing the hamburger, Shanran squinted her eyes contentedly.
Comfortable.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Shanran opened the door, and outside were the workers.
"Boss, a customer has come in and says he wants to see you."
Shan Ran found it strange. Who would be looking for her at this time? Could it be Aunt Zhang who came to visit?
Hmm, no, that doesn't seem like it. If it were that mother and son, they wouldn't be so polite; they would have knocked on the door directly.
Shan Ran walked to the courtyard gate, where a strange man was standing.
The man had silver-gray hair and a sculpted Western face, resembling a scene from an old Western movie. His handsome face, shimmering like the sun, left a stunning impression, ancient yet dignified.
He looked up, his gray eyes deep and cold. After a moment of stunned silence upon seeing Shan Ran, he smiled, his eyes narrowing, melting away the ice and snow.
The man bent slightly, raised his hand forward, and spoke in a gentle and elegant tone with a pleasant voice and a standard aristocratic accent.
"This must be the esteemed Miss Shan. I am your neighbor, Rhein Lawrence."
