"Impossible, Instructor Mu is just a soldier, how could he have such capabilities? Besides, Instructor Mu had already beaten Ye Sheng half to death at the time, how could he have gone to Pingxi to deal with the Ye family? Xiao Xiao, I think you’ve read too many novels, haven’t you?"
An Ran joked with a smile, but Xiao Xiao pouted and thought to herself: An Ran, are you stupid?
In the following days, news about the Ye family dominated the front pages of the local section. In just a month, the Ye family declared bankruptcy. Dad Ye couldn’t bear the blow, had a heart attack, and died. Mom Ye lost her sanity and was admitted to a mental hospital. The Ye family’s assets were seized.
The Ye family, once the largest family business in Pingxi, disappeared just like that.
Similarly, Mu Xingfeng also seemed to vanish. Since the day they parted, An Ran never saw Mu Xingfeng again, and she never returned to Longteng Xinyuan. She thought this was the right way for the two of them. She had her studies and work; he had his army and fiancée. But whenever she was idle, she couldn’t help thinking of him—what the hell?
Hacker Bar was still as dazzling as ever, with pounding music hitting the eardrums, and young people swaying their hips to the rhythm and wildly tossing their flowing hair.
At a corner of the bar, Guo Xinyi watched a figure weaving through the crowd and couldn’t help but pout.
Sun Beibei followed Guo Xinyi’s gaze and moved closer to her, "Xinyi, don’t worry. The person coming over is my sister’s friend. Last time, she helped arrange everything. If we want to make it so An Ran can’t stay here, she only needs to say a word to Angel."
"It better be that way. I’ve had enough. How can I not know why Lu Yi comes to this bar every week?" Guo Xinyi said as she looked at the tall, handsome figure in the distance, whose eyes never left the woman, not noticing anyone else.
"But seriously, Xinyi, what do you think the relationship between An Ran and Instructor Mu is? Last time I saw Instructor Mu’s face, tsk tsk, it was really unpleasant. If Instructor Mu does have something with An Ran, would it be bad if he finds out what we’re doing?" Sun Beibei shivered at the memory of Mu Xingfeng’s expression that day.
"What relationship could they have? Have you seen Instructor Mu come looking for An Ran all this time? It was just a coincidence that day," Guo Xinyi said with certainty.
That day, the few of them were all at the bar. Hearing the commotion, they went to watch, and as they opened the private room door, they saw Instructor Mu carrying An Ran past their room.
The bar was so chaotic then; just a little inquiry would reveal what happened.
As they were talking, a tall, elegantly dressed woman walked over.
Sun Beibei quickly stood up and waved, "Weiwei, over here."
Cao Wei smiled and walked over, her eyes lighting up when she saw Guo Xinyi.
Guo Xinyi was someone all the socialites wanted to associate with, but she was proud and aloof, with few people catching her eye.
But behind her was the entire Guo family. Knowing that she was the only Miss of the Guo family now, befriending her meant endless benefits.
Guo Xinyi had met Cao Wei before, but they hadn’t talked. Now, needing help, she naturally lowered her stance.
After Sun Beibei introduced the two, they sat down. Looking at An Ran not far away, she spoke with some sarcasm, "An Ran really has some nerve. After almost being played, she still manages to blend in here."
