"Yeah, I found it. I wanted to tell you yesterday." When Zhou Xian called, apart from the matter of her dealing with the dark forces, he also found the location of the terrorist.
"So why so late?" Chu Ji was a bit upset.
"Something came up, it was delayed. You should come over." Ye Ranran’s voice was even more raspy, like the sound of stones colliding, particularly harsh to the ears.
Chu Ji finally noticed something was off, "You..."
"A little tired, hanging up."
One took away his cellphone, and Ye Ranran closed her eyes again, "You should go, call me when he arrives."
One silently returned the cell phone to its place and silently walked out.
He didn’t go far, but stood guard at the door.
Chu Ji, following his navigation, arrived at Riverside Villa for the very first time.
At the front gate, there were two bodyguards who confirmed his identity before letting him in.
"Madam is upstairs, just a moment please." The butler led him to the hall.
The villa was decorated warmly. On the dining table, there was a bouquet of roses. On the windowsill, there were twinkling stars.
The place was filled with coziness, and the details revealed luxury.
Chu Ji recalled the gentle man caring for the gentle woman.
The butler ignored Chu Ji’s observation, went upstairs to inform One that Ye Ranran’s guest had arrived.
One opened the door, looking at Ye Ranran, her face pale, eyes tightly closed, for the first time, he felt conflicted.
Should he wake her up now? Or wait a bit?
Before he could decide, the person on the bed opened her eyes.
"What is it?" Ye Ranran moved slightly.
"Oh." Ye Ranran felt weak all over. She could only tell One, "Help me up."
One put his arm around her shoulder, applying a little force to help her sit up.
Her hair, which once just reached her neck when she saved him, now reached her shoulders.
"Right, you went out on a mission earlier, did you complete it?" Ye Ranran suddenly asked.
"It’s completed." One didn’t tell her that his mission was to deliver goods.
Those matters were too dark, he couldn’t bear to let her know.
"That’s good." Ye Ranran motioned for him to let go. "Bring in two people to attend to me."
She couldn’t even move now, and definitely couldn’t change her clothes on her own.
Two maids came in quickly. Under their care, Ye Ranran changed into a longer sweater, her hair loosely draped, her face lightly made up, she then appeared before Chu Ji.
She didn’t want to frighten Chu Ji with her current appearance.
Seeing her frail appearance, Chu Ji frowned, "How did you wind up in this state?"
"There was a mishap." Ye Ranran nestled into the sofa.
Chu Ji took another look at One standing behind her, dressed all in black, he was hard to ignore.
"Xia Shi encountered some trouble recently. The last person who could have helped the Wen family has been removed. The next step is to clear your name." Ye Ranran said.
Chu Ji didn’t say anything, but continued to listen.
"You saw what happened at the hotel before." Chu Ji had just left the hotel when it crumbled into ashes before his eyes.
The scene was too stark, too haunting for him to forget.
"We have confirmation that it was the work of terrorists. The news also reported it, so I won’t go into detail. I am providing you with the location of the terrorists, you should go and capture them."
"As for the sex photo scandal, can’t you spin the truth into a lie?"
Performing meritorious deeds to atone for his guilt, and washing away his disgrace, even if it doesn’t lead to a promotion, at least he could retain his current position.
