After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

He looked at Zhang Ran with complicated eyes, "They will issue a statement today to sever ties with you, and I will arrange for them to go abroad tomorrow so that they won't be implicated by you if they stay in the country." With her cunning, if Gu Jinhe hadn't intervened this time, her mother and grandfather would have died in an accident again, while she would still be at large.

"Are they willing to leave?" Zhang Ran asked distrustfully. She didn't trust that Cheng Mingtai could persuade them to abandon her and go abroad.

“I told them that if they didn’t leave, they would become hostages and be threatened to confess, and only then did they agree.”

"Well done." Zhang Ran praised without reservation, "You've finally done something decent."

Cheng Mingtai laughed in exasperation, "If you were a decent person, would you be sitting here?"

Zhang Ran didn't argue with him, but asked with concern, "Er Ya probably can't leave. She's involved in another murder case." Er Ya was her biggest worry. Although she had secretly sent people to protect her, Gu Jinhe would definitely target her again.

“I’ve already looked into her case,” Cheng Mingtai explained. “The police have no evidence to detain her, and with someone offering to help, she was able to leave the country.”

"Who?" Zhang Ran was a little curious. It was already good enough that no one would kick her when she was down after learning that she was in trouble, let alone offer a helping hand.

Cheng Mingtai didn't speak, but used his body to block the view and wrote the character '城' (city) on the table.

Zhang Ran recognized him; it was Huo Cheng.

Ji Qing is now the bureau chief and also his sister. After the police investigated Er Ya, they found that she had not committed murder. Huo Cheng could easily arrange for her to leave the country.

As for Cheng Mingtai, he had known Huo Cheng for a long time.

Previously, Huo Cheng, Qiao Xi, Zhang Ran, and Shi Xu were kidnapped together.

Upon learning the news, Cheng Mingtai immediately traveled from S City to Beijing, where he naturally became acquainted with Huo Cheng.

"After you arrange for them to go abroad, you must also pay attention to their safety," Zhang Ran reminded them.

“I know what I’m doing.” Cheng Mingtai looked at her seriously. “The evidence is conclusive. Unless Guo Xiao changes her story or finds new evidence to overturn the previous evidence, you will definitely be sentenced to death once you go to court.”

“Don’t do anything unnecessary,” Zhang Ran instructed earnestly. “Just take the lawyer’s fees and spend your days eating, drinking, and loafing around.”

Cheng Mingtai narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing her calm and composed expression, and suddenly asked, "What if your backup plan doesn't work? You'll die."

"I have many backup plans. If one doesn't work, I have a second one. If the second one doesn't work, I have a third and a fourth one."

Cheng Mingtai: "..." What? So many backup plans? Do they think I'm an octopus?

Zhang Ran scoffed, "Just like you said, all these backup plans have failed. I still have a trump card. Once I play it, let alone sentence me to death, they won't leave until they kneel down and beg me."

Cheng Mingtai: "..." So arrogant and fearless, it seems she deliberately pretended to have fallen for Gu Jinhe's scheme.

"Knowing you're a menace and won't die, then Qi Hongyan and I won't investigate anything." The person behind the scenes is Gu Jinhe. He and Qi Hongyan also have to protect themselves. Otherwise, if they die while investigating the case, they won't be able to defend Zhang Ran in court. If Gu Jinhe then bribes lawyers or even judges, Zhang Ran will be completely finished.

Zhang Ran called out to Cheng Mingtai's departing figure, "Remember to bring some food next time you visit; the food here is terrible."

Over the years, her appetite has become increasingly picky. Chicken leg rice is a sentimental thing, because all the chicken legs she has ever eaten since she was a child belonged to Luo Yaozu. When she visited relatives' homes, she was never allowed to eat chicken legs. If she ate an extra piece of meat, she would be scolded for being lazy and greedy, and that she would never be able to get married when she grew up.

Now she can eat chicken legs every day, but that's about it; she misses the fancy meals outside.
