“Did you fight with someone in the mall today?” Mo Chi patted Qin Ran’s head and asked.
“You know everything?” Without even thinking, she knew that the two bodyguards must have informed him. She had tactfully mentioned to Mo Chi a few times if he could remove the two bodyguards, but he didn’t agree.
“I know. Show me the hand that had hit them.” After saying that, Mo Chi stretched out his right hand and waited.
Qin Ran pouted and thought to herself that it was indeed not good to fight in public. If she was punished today, she would accept it. Then, she slowly raised her right hand reluctantly and placed it in Mo Chi’s palm.
Unexpectedly, Mo Chi only took a closer look and lowered his head to blow on it gently. “It hurts, right?” When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with heartache.
Qin Ran nodded in a daze, then shook her head. Those three slaps were indeed not light, but she had trained since she was young. To put it bluntly, her skin was thick, and that bit of pain was nothing.
Mo Chi smiled and reached out his other hand to hook the tip of Qin Ran’s nose. “Does it hurt?”
Qin Ran also lowered her eyebrows and smiled. She stole a few glances at the man in front of her. The doting expression on his face made her even more shy.
She had undergone high-intensity training like the boys since she was young, and the missions she carried out were not something that girls could complete. This caused Qin Ran to be a little confused about the relationship between men and women. However, at this moment, she felt that the night with Mo Chi by her side was actually so beautiful.
Moreover, she hadn’t felt the warmth and security that he brought her since her parents passed away a year ago.
“August is almost over. It’s a little cold at night. Let’s go back!” As Mo Chi spoke, he pulled Qin Ran’s hand.
Qin Ran nodded obediently and followed behind Mo Chi. The two figures, one tall and one short, walked towards the main building unhurriedly.
Qin Ran could only obediently drink an entire cup of milk under Mo Chi’s supervision because she had eaten a little spicy food outside tonight before returning to her small bedroom.
Ever since she ran away from home the last time, Mo Chi had indeed never urged her to move to the master bedroom. Qin Ran thought that he had gotten over the novelty, but actually, she didn’t know that President Mo had endured it very hard when he married a wife that he could only see but not touch. Every day, he was like a mute who had to suffer in silence.
Qin Ran returned to her room and immediately took out a slip of paper. On it was a phone number.
She recalled what Su Wang said in the hotpot restaurant today.
At that time, Su Nan went to the washroom alone. Su Wang immediately frowned and said, “Qingqing, have you encountered any trouble in the past year?”
Qin Ran looked at Su Wang with a puzzled expression. She had been ranked second on the Assassination List for a long time, and there were countless people looking for trouble with her every day. What exactly did Su Wang mean?
Seeing that Qin Ran was silent, Su Wang directly confessed, “Do you still remember that old bachelor surnamed Wang from your hometown? Every time I pass by your house, I can see him wandering back and forth nearby. He even keeps sticking his head out to look inside.”
Qin Ran had an impression of this bachelor surnamed Wang. He was famous for being a drunkard and a scoundrel. However, he had never meddled in other people’s business. Why was he near her house every day?
Su Wang continued, “I felt that it was strange, so I found an opportunity to get him drunk. I heard from him that someone gave him 400 yuan every day and asked him to pay attention to the movements in your house.”
400 yuan a day was not a small sum. It was enough for Old Bachelor Wang to eat and drink for a day. Moreover, this person was very smart. He didn’t find it troublesome to transfer money every day. He was just afraid that Old Bachelor Wang would be lazy and not go to her house to supervise. So it means that the person behind him wouldn’t let go of any movement in her house.
“Or did Uncle and Auntie offend anyone when they were alive? Oh right, I even copied this number from his phone. He contacted this person every day. It’s not a local number. He must be the person behind him.” Su Wang guessed.
Qin Ran sat in front of the computer in the bedroom and carefully thought about Su Wang’s last sentence. She opened the special website of the National Security Bureau on the computer and entered the phone number on the slip of paper in her hand into the contact information verification office.
There were no results.
There was actually no information about this number in the National Security Bureau. It seemed that this person was not simple.
This person spent money and effort to pay attention to the movements in her old house. This person was most likely related to her parents’ deaths.
