Return to before death

Chapter 14 Five Minutes of Time Travel

She lay there for an unknown amount of time, her tears gradually drying up, her life seemingly slipping away bit by bit. The window was open, and a howling wind swept in from outside, overturning the lifeless objects lying on the table.

The red, though dark, now illuminated her eyes like dazzling fireworks.

Her vacant eyes regained their sparkle, and her slender fingers rubbed the red on the amulet. She placed the amulet under her nose and tried to breathe deeply.

Bloody smell.

correct!

How could she forget that the back of this amulet was originally stained with blood?

Since it was at the scene of death, could the blood be Sheng Xuanling's?

definitely is!

It can only be his!

Yan Ran frantically searched through a pile of things and finally found the small, silver tie clip.

When her husband died, a bullet pierced his chest, and blood splattered onto his collar clip. Although it was only a very small amount, it was still her husband's blood as he died.

The very last glimmer of hope.

If it still doesn't work this time, then...

no, I can not!

Yan Ran shook her head desperately, trying to banish all those bad thoughts from her mind. She held the amulet in one hand and her collar clip in the other. The four words "Wanfa Yuansheng" rang out in the storm, sounding so insignificant.

When she opened her eyes again, the daytime was bustling with noise and traffic.

She stood in front of the Zong Group building. Across the square, a huge LED screen displayed the news of the celebrity couple, the "Octopus Couple," announcing their marriage. She had seen this news while browsing the web in a coffee shop on the day her husband passed away.

The time was 3:15 PM.

It worked, it really worked!

She really did it!

At that moment, she was overjoyed and almost shouted out loud.

However, she quickly calmed down. She realized that she could only go back to the past, and nothing had changed.

She had to stop Jung-kyung and evade the sniper's attack.

Yan Ran gripped the amulet tightly, placing it against her heart. "Please, it must succeed."

Since retiring from the newspaper at her mother-in-law's request after getting married, Yan Ran has devoted herself to being a wife and mother, rarely participating in business activities other than fundraising for the Zong family's children's health foundation. She generally doesn't concern herself with company affairs and rarely comes to the company except for a few times to deliver meals, so most people in the company don't know her.

Originally worried that she might be stopped and have her time delayed, she unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance she had seen before, and Yan Ran entered the private elevator smoothly.

Zong Qingzheng has two assistants, one named Mary and the other named Lan Ke. Both are Harvard graduates, very capable, and well-liked in the company.

"Mrs. Zong!" Lan saw Yan Ran and stood up from her seat in a fluster. "Why are you here?"

The more composed Mary glared at Lan Ke, then smiled and said, "Mrs. Zong, the general manager is in a meeting. Please wait here for a moment, and I'll make you a cup of coffee."

Yan Ran was worried and afraid that she might make a mistake, so she was very anxious. "Mary, I have something urgent to do. I need to see Zheng Qing right now. Could you please go to the conference room and call him for me?"

Mary frowned. The general manager disliked being disturbed during meetings, so everyone's phones were switched off.

Seeing that Yan Ran was indeed extremely anxious, and remembering how much the general manager valued his wife, she nodded and walked towards the conference room.

Yan Ran stood anxiously in place, constantly checking the time on her watch. Lan Ke made her a cup of coffee, which Yan Ran took, but she had no appetite for anything. So she put the coffee on the table, but just then she looked down and saw Lan Ke's pregnancy test report.

Lan Ke shyly stuffed the pregnancy test report into the folder, saying, "I'm sorry you had to see this."

"It's a good thing." Yan Ran thought of her little sweetheart and imagined that from today onwards, the three of them could be reunited, live happily ever after, and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

The meeting quickly adjourned, and Zong Zhengqing emerged from the conference room. His tall figure swiftly approached Yan Ran, scooped her up in his arms, and, with a smile in his phoenix eyes, lightly pecked her forehead. "Missed me?"

"Put me down." In the past, she could always be immersed in his love and unable to extricate herself when faced with his enthusiasm, but now she really had no mood for it. "Zhengqing, someone wants to kill you."
