Shen Yuye stayed in the village to handle the aftermath, while Su Ran led her people down the mountain.
The military would handle the rest, and she didn't want to get involved, so she simply returned to her guesthouse.
Everything came to light.
The person who knocked on the door on that rainy night was probably trying to find out her intentions, fearing that the drugs hidden in the warehouse and village would be exposed.
The village chief was also an outsider, a drug dealer hiding in the village, who led his men to get the villagers to grow poppies with him.
The hurried departure was probably because the people in the warehouse cages were being moved. The village was mostly populated by men because the women were all locked up at home.
In Grandpa Chen's house, one could hear faint sobs from a woman and the sound of something hitting the wall.
Taking them to Grandpa Chen's place was probably because he was one of their own, and they were there to keep an eye on them.
So what Grandpa Chen said was half true and half false. His two sons may have died because they helped evil people, and his two daughters-in-law were probably imprisoned by him.
The sound of hitting the wall and the whimpering sound must have come from a woman.
The former big shot...
He's probably not stupid; all his actions don't resemble those of someone who's mentally challenged. He's probably just pretending to be stupid. His wife was probably kidnapped too.
Su Ran didn't know why she had encountered such a thing. The whole village was full of bad people, which made her quite surprised. How could the people in the surrounding villages not know about such a strange village?
The government won't intervene?
Is someone up there?
[Ding! Special mission detected! Mission complete! Reward: A super estate in the Rocky Mountains of America!]
Su Ran wasn't surprised to hear that a special mission had been triggered again, as major events usually have a very high probability of triggering special missions.
Su Fuling handed over a glass of water and said softly, "Miss, we're going back to Shanghai tomorrow."
Su Ran nodded. "We should increase the intensity of our investigations into the foundation's affairs. I hope this situation will not happen again."
Su Fuling nodded. Su Ran looked at the police car parked outside the guesthouse and sighed, "There are still too many bad people in this world. It seems that they are repeat offenders who got away with it so easily."
This matter was so significant that it made the news, but Su Ran's name was kept anonymous, and she was described as a concerned citizen.
While listening to Su Yi's words in the villa, Su Ran had guessed that this matter would make the news on the way back to Shanghai, but she did not expect it to happen so quickly.
The people who signed in these past two mornings were mostly dealing with company shares, all of which were handed over to Su Bufan for processing.
After breakfast, I received a phone call.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ran happily drove out and headed straight for the airport.
Seeing the woman waving in the distance, he smiled and waved back. The woman quickly ran over, looked at Su Ran, then at the car, and reached out to pinch Su Ran's cheek.
"No way, my Ranran, are you really that rich? I thought the videos I saw on Douyu were fake! But seeing your Douyu account gaining so many followers, I thought I had traveled through time."
Su Ran smiled and pulled the hand off her face. She saw that the woman in front of her was her best friend. She then put her in the car, and her small luggage fit perfectly in the front compartment.
"Let's go, Miss Xu Songyuan, get in the car and we'll take you for a drive."
Xu Songyuan raised her hand happily, but after getting into the supercar, she didn't know how to sit properly and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Su Ran looked over with a smile, "Why didn't you say you were coming to Shanghai sooner? You're planning to launch a surprise attack on Saturday, aren't you?"
Hearing her best friend's reply, Xu Songyuan finally relaxed and felt less awkward sitting in the luxury car. "I just wanted to give you a surprise!"
Xu Songyuan sat in the passenger seat talking about interesting things at school. Su Ran had skipped a grade, but her best friend hadn't graduated yet. As she listened to her talk about campus life, she would occasionally respond with a few words.
What do you want to eat?
After listening, Xu Songyuan pondered for a moment, "Are there any authentic Sichuan-style hot pot restaurants in Shanghai?"
Su Ran looked at Xu Songyuan speechlessly, "Locals in Shanghai prefer light flavors. They do have Sichuan-style hot pot, but it's not authentic."
Xu Songyuan shook her head upon hearing this, "Then forget it, Ranran, you decide. I'll just come along with my belly and eat." After saying that, she looked up at the sky with a sorrowful expression and sighed, "What a pity! I'm so young and I already have to rely on my best friend to support me! Sigh! Who understands this kind of pain!"
Su Ran smiled but didn't say anything. She talked about pain, but her eyes were full of joy. She was practically dancing on the street with drums and gongs, saying that her best friend was a rich woman.
Su Ran took her people directly to Zuixiangju.
Inside the private room.
Xu Songyuan chatted with Su Ran about entertainment gossip, all of which she had gotten from gossip groups.
While serving her food, Su Ran chimed in, "Is there something you need in Shanghai?"
Xu Songyuan shyly withdrew her hand, covered her face, and said in an extremely affected voice, "I mainly wanted to see my idol. Isn't that idol debut variety show that's starting to film? My idol Shen Zhili is one of the mentors on it."
As Su Ran ate her meal, she heard her words. It seemed that Qingjiu had sent a message saying that the first episode of the idol debut was starting filming today, and the mentors they had invited were...
Su Ran pondered for a moment, seemingly referring to Shen Zhili who had a wish to express his gratitude.
Chen Yuye, Chen Zhili, Chen Yu?
Why do I keep running into people with the surname Shen?
Xu Songyuan kept talking on and on, asking Su Bufan to find out who the three Shen brothers in Kyoto were.
"Ranran, the first episode of 'Idol Debut' is filming today. We'll be inviting some audience members, but most of the show will be streamed live online. We'll also be adding some bonus content later. Ranran, do you know this is the closest I've ever been to my idol?!"
Seeing her fangirl-like expression, Su Ran smiled and asked, "So, did you manage to buy a ticket?"
At this point, Xu Songyuan looked dejected, "No... Ahhhhhh! Those humans are too fast! I couldn't get a ticket! I was already thinking of coming, but since I couldn't get a ticket, I decided to come and play with you. We'll watch the live stream and I can lick my idol's boots!"
Su Ran pinched Xu Songyuan's cheek, "Hurry up and eat, you'll have the energy to chase after your idols after you finish eating."
"Huh?" Xu Songyuan stared wide-eyed at Su Ran. "Ranran, what did you say? You're a fan of celebrities!"
"I'll take you to the scene then, let's eat first." Upon hearing this, Xu Songyuan immediately began to eat voraciously, like a pig shoveling swill.
Su Ran messaged Qing Jiu, saying that she was going to the "Idol Debut" show later and asked someone to come pick her up.
After seeing the message from Su Qingjiu, I saw the information sent by Su Bufan. After reading it, I confirmed that the three people were indeed the three Shen brothers.
The eldest son is brooding, dignified, and rational; the second son is gentle and refined; and the youngest son is lively and cheerful.
The three of them have quite different personalities.
After Xu Songyuan finished eating, he led his people towards the variety show venue.
Upon arriving at her destination, Xu Songyuan acted like a fervent fan, taking pictures and looking around. She even found her group and returned with support supplies in her hands.
Su Ran didn't go out of the car because it was too hot outside. When her best friend came back, she handed her a bottle of water. Then there was a knock on the car window. After rolling down the window, she heard someone say, "Big Boss, I heard from Assistant Jiu that the director asked me to come and pick you up to go to the set. You can just call me Xiao Yang."
Su Ran nodded, and was about to tell Xu Songyuan to get out of the car, but then...
