cool autumn

Assistant Xiao Wang has been squatting at the corner of the stairs for a long time, and Zhou Ran has been squatting for as long as he has been sitting in the living room.

Suddenly, there was an extra hand on his shoulder, and he slapped Assistant Xiao Wang hard, then lowered his voice and smiled at him, "Wang Xiaoyi, what are you doing, you are sneaking around, what are you going to do?"

The person who spoke was nicknamed Luo Laoqi, and his first name was Luo Raoqi. He had the appearance of a rough man, but he was the rare right-hand man beside Huo Wendong besides Lin Lang and Xiao Wang's assistant.

Assistant Xiao Wang took a leisurely glance at him, rubbed his aching shoulder, then silently turned his head back to the living room, looked at the closed study behind him with a headache, and pulled Luo Laoqi next to him frantically. collar, and asked with a tangled expression: "Tell me, what are they going to do? The two of them don't care about each other, so why bother with nothing?"

Luo Laoqi reached out his hand and took out a piece of beef jerky from his pocket, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, followed Assistant Xiao Wang's gaze to the study room, then looked at Zhou Ran on the sofa, shook his head Smiling, "One edge is too sharp, and the other is too arrogant. On the surface, it looks like nothing, but it will wear off after a long time."

Another person squeezed in next to him, Lin Lang pushed Assistant Xiao Wang to the left, and insisted on occupying most of the position in the corner. Looking at Nunuzui in front of him, he turned around and asked Luo Laoqi, "Which one of them will bow his head first at the end?"

"It's hard to say," Luo Laoqi stuffed another large piece of beef jerky into his mouth, and chewed vigorously. Feeling uncomfortable in such a squatting position, he simply sat on his buttocks and waited to swallow the meat in his mouth. Then he said slowly: "The child looked like he was taught by a high-ranking family. You said that the baby pimples raised in the deep sea can't be compared with the small fish and shrimps in the stinky ditch. What's more," Luo Laoqi glanced at the study again from the corner of his eyes, and continued: "Besides, our boss is so protective of his heart, his eyes are clenched, maybe who will fall in first."

Assistant Xiao Wang and Lin Lang looked at each other, and they knelt down hand in hand and nodded with sympathy.

Zhou Ran sat cross-legged on the sofa, typing on the keyboard with one hand, and picked up the second treasure and put it in his arms to keep warm. This little guy was checked by Zhou Huaning on the second day he came to this villa. It's just right now to help warm your feet.

On the computer, Lin Wangbei sent him a lot of files, all of which were important materials that Lin Jingxian asked him to get over this time. Zhou Ran opened the files one by one, checked them carefully, tapped the table with his index finger, and pondered for a long time. He stroked Erbao's hair for a long time without speaking.

After a lot of thought, Zhou Ran still picked up the phone, reached out and pressed a number on it, waiting for the call to connect.

An angry "Hello?" came from the phone, and it was Yuan Mingguo who answered the phone.

"Mr. Yuan, I'm Zhou Ran. I want to talk to you about the construction of a military port in Xunyang City. Do you have time now? Let's talk." Zhou Ran chuckled while clicking on the last file He opened his mouth and said, his eyes were always calm and peaceful.

There was silence for a while, the sound of whistling wind and a few light footsteps came through the radio waves, as if they had changed to a quiet location. After several minutes, Yuan Mingguo lowered his voice in a serious tone. The voice replied: "What do you want to tell me?"

Zhou Ran closed the computer with a smile, covered his eyes with drooping eyelashes, and said in a flat tone: "I think Mr. Yuan also understands the interests of all parties involved in the construction of the port, so I won't say much here. Since I will have a detailed discussion with you this time, it also shows my sincerity in wanting to cooperate harmoniously with you. If the port dispute has a strong push from your side, I think the current chaotic situation will change. , and then controlled, Zhou Ran asked himself and dared not talk about the divergence of port interests. Of course, these are not things that I, a commoner, should take care of. The kid is arrogant, but I just want Xunyang City to have a stable life. You don’t have to Worry about what I'm plotting against you, or the forces behind you."

Yuan Mingguo listened to the ordinary and unobtrusive words coming from the other end of the phone, but one by one they came together to form a shocking news. His hands trembled a little because of excitement and excitement. Given the opportunity, he would be able to reach a higher level in a short time, without having to walk on the cusp of the storm because of the suppression of the balance by various forces.

"You can handle this matter?" Yuan Mingguo asked hesitantly.

Zhou Ran shook his head, "If you are interested, you can contact the Patriarch of the Lin family by yourself, and someone there will have a deeper understanding and talk with you. I hope we can work together and encourage each other happily."

"I will contact you again," Yuan Mingguo said, and hung up the phone with a click, followed by a long beep.

Zhou Ran leaned back on the sofa, touched the darkened phone screen and smiled, "It's okay, as long as Yuan Mingguo still wants to share this big cake, he is not afraid that the forces behind him will not take the bait. It's for Zhou Huaning's happiness to add weight.

It is said that it is not simple to involve interests in feelings. Don’t you know that the separation of a pair of lifelong partners is often caused by the fact that they are too little or worthless to both parties. Even if the relationship between Zhou Huaning and Yuan Dingbang cannot last forever, as long as Zhou Huaning is willing, He will not give him reasons and excuses to leave his mother, and using family interests to tie him up is just the most shallow and common method.That is to say, if anyone dares to oppose or deny the relationship between Zhou Huaning and Yuan Dingbang now, the first thing he will face will not be them themselves, but the family forces behind the Yuan family.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ran sent messages to Lin Kuofeng and Lin Jingxian to inform Yuan Mingguo of Yuan Mingguo's attitude, and then he calmed down a little.

The study room, which had been closed for many days, finally opened a door. Zhou Ran stared blankly at Huo Wendong casually wearing a nightgown. From his exposed chest, he could still see the white bandage he used to bind the wound. The two looked at each other. Touching each other, they looked away when they turned their eyes, and they silently ignored each other.

The trio of onlookers who were watching secretly regretted it, but they didn't dare to step forward to do anything, they could only itch like a cat's paw scratching their hearts, and followed suit in a hurry.

Huo Wendong looked a little tired, he was leaning lazily on the sofa, the servant next to him cleverly brought him a cup of hot coffee to refresh him, stood by the side and waited for a few minutes without seeing him speak, then quietly retreated .

The already quiet living room suddenly became even quieter. Even the trio on the other side of the stairs carefully held their breath and did not dare to make any noise to break the deadlock.

The excited documents that he was dealing with just now seemed to suddenly become irritable and boring. Zhou Ran pouted, picked up the cold traditional Chinese medicine on the table and drank a few mouthfuls, but couldn’t find the candied fruit in a hurry. He could only quickly take the glass and pour himself a cup of warm boiling water, and drank it in one gulp, so as to relieve the bitter taste in his mouth a little.

Alright, I'm in no mood now, let's deal with the files later.Zhou Ran glanced at Huo Wendong who was facing him, picked up Er Bao who was still sleeping on his lap, gathered up the documents scattered around the table, stacked them together with the laptop, and held them in his arms , walked upstairs to the room with their feet up, the two of them had a cold war recently, neither of them paid attention to the other, they both felt that the other was doing something wrong, they secretly competed secretly, and even went to bed at night in the rooms they found.

Humph, whoever bows his head first is a puppy.Zhou Ran cursed secretly.

Huo Wendong has been watching Zhou Ran's movements quietly from the sidelines, seeing him frowning, he is also anxious, who brought the medicine this time, why forgot to add candied fruit together, it is simply remiss of duty.

Seeing Zhou Ran walking past him indifferently pulling on his slippers, Huo Wendong just wanted to reach out his hand to hold the person, so as to comfort him, but Zhou Ran's eyes drifted over, and the hand retracted silently.

"Oh, why is our boss so stupid, what face do you want at this time, hurry up..." Luo Laoqi slapped his thigh, wishing he could go into battle himself, and just show his glory for his boss.

Lin Lang rubbed her chin, and Jijiong said with a spirit, "Could it be that the BOSS wants to revive Fu Gang?"

Assistant Xiao Wang and Luo Laoqi silently flashed to the two sides...

After looking back, Zhou Ran walked back to the room, threw all those things on the bed, locked the door, and then let out a sigh of relief, and carefully checked every corner of the room for surveillance cameras. Not only guard against Huo Wendong, but also have to be vigilant if other people with ulterior motives come in and arrange something in the room. It is an extraordinary time, and it is impossible not to be careful.

After confirming that there was nothing much in the room, Zhou Ran packed up a set of clothes, rolled them up and walked into the bathroom. With his second treasure in his pocket, he entered the space with the clothes.

When his whole body was submerged in the pool filled with yin and yang spring water, Zhou Ran relaxed. Huo Wendong was busy dealing with Young Master Huo's affairs these days. Power requires psychological preparation to suffer backlash. Zhou Ran saw it, but he didn't know how to help, so the two of them simply competed with each other. So far, they have handled their own affairs well, and they can be regarded as peaceful coexistence.

In fact, after the Hu Jinbiao incident, the biggest reflection for Zhou Ran was that he was too weak, he wanted to grow up as soon as possible, and he urgently needed to move towards a better and clearer direction.

Zhou Ran squeezed his arm and murmured, "It's still too weak." I don't know if he was complaining about his body or was sincere about his strength.

After guessing the time, after Zhou Ran got out of the small woods and tidied up carefully, he pointed out the space.

At dinner time, Luo Laoqi and Lin Lang had already had Assistant Xiao Wang finally dared to peep openly. He glanced at his boss from the corner of his eyes, and looked at Zhou Ran from the corner of his eyes. The three of them looked at each other and there was another burst of meaningful strange laugh,

A servant brought up the soup, Huo Wendong moved the soft-shelled turtle soup in front of him to Zhou Ran, and seeing the smiling faces of the three people next to him, Zhou Ran trembled inexplicably, just as he picked up the spoon in his hand, the bowl was thick and white. Luhua's soft-shelled turtle soup suddenly stretched out a foot to support the soup surface, and the spoon fell into the bowl with a bang. Zhou Ran watched it quietly for a few seconds, then put it on the other side and ignored it.

Huo Wendong frowned, "This soup is good for your health, don't be picky about eating." He was about to push the soup back to Zhou Ran.

"This soft-shelled turtle has stretched out a foot, do you want me to lick it and eat it?" Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows, moved the stool and moved his seat, and pointed his mouth in a very rude manner.

Staring at the black turtle claws for a few moments, Huo Wendong stuffed the turtle soup aside without blinking. The claws were facing Lin Lang, and Lin Lang seemed to be in a bad mood. Boss, I don't like to lick the turtle's claws either.

Facing Zhou Ran was a plate of bright red spicy fried chicken. Before Zhou Ran moved his chopsticks, Huo Wendong stretched out his hand and moved them far away. Zhang said with a paralyzed face, "You have a bad stomach, it's better to avoid such irritating food."

There was a choke in his chest, Zhou Ran put down his chopsticks expressionlessly, and before he opened his mouth to speak, the phone rang, just as he couldn't eat because of the choking, Zhou Ran took care of Huo Wendong's suddenly sinking face, holding two Bao and the mobile phone walked upstairs.

"Aran, you haven't eaten yet," Lin Lang hurriedly called out seeing the situation.

Zhou Ran turned sideways, glanced at the man, shook the phone, pursed his lips and said lightly: "I'm going to answer the phone, you guys eat first."

The dinner table suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Ran went back to the room and connected the phone, Zhou Huaning's voice came from the phone, "Ran Ran, it's me, have you finished your meal?"

"Eat," Zhou Ran pressed his somewhat empty stomach, opening his eyes and talking nonsense without changing his tone.

Zhou Huaning smiled over there, and said softly: "That's right, a burglar broke into our house yesterday, and there are a lot of other things. The watch on the bedside table in your room was stolen. I wanted to ask Uncle Yuan to come and see it." Yes, but Xiaomo said no, I thought it would be inconvenient for you to go out and come back, so I delayed telling you until now."

The movement of holding down his stomach froze, Zhou Ran sat up straight, and asked in a concentrated voice: "Is the family okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to worry," Zhou Huaning hurriedly replied over there, hesitated, and asked again: "Ran Ran, tomorrow is the 28th year, and your Uncle Yuan's family suddenly asked us to go over there together, look, you want to go there tomorrow?" come back together?"

Zhou Ran restrained his emotions, his expression was inexplicable, "It depends on the situation, you can go with Uncle Yuan, since the Yuan family has made a noise to let you go, then there should be no moths, with Uncle Yuan following Don't worry too much."

The two chattered a few more words, and Tang Mo's voice suddenly came from the radio, "Aran, Aran, are you still in Luding City? Wait for me, I'll take a plane to find you tomorrow, haha..."

Zhou Ran couldn't help rubbing his temples with his hands, and said with a helpless smile: "It's better to say goodbye, if you don't go back, your brother will probably rush to my house and tie you back."

Tang Mo was laughing over there, and when Zhou Huaning went out, he immediately became serious and said in a serious voice: "Hey, Aran, I just saw that the person who came to your room to rummage through things and pick the lock is very professional, not like ordinary little ones." The appearance of a thief, I have been to the army to train before, and this method is a bit like that of a regular army. I said, Aran, have you messed with some big shots? Even the scouts in the army It's all used."

Zhou Ran was silent for a while, and just said lightly, "Just pretend you don't know about this matter, forget it, and I will take care of it."

Outside the closed door, Huo Wendong stood still holding a plate of warm vegetable porridge. Under the shadow of the wooden door, people couldn't see his expression clearly, but looked at Zhou Ran's cold expression while holding the microphone , watching quietly for a few minutes, and then quietly went downstairs with the plate.

Tang Mo was still a little worried about Zhou Ran, and kept telling him into the microphone, "I'm telling you, Zhou Ran, if you really have something to discuss with me, don't just hide everything by yourself, don't tell me How do I know if I can help you, right, we are friends."

"Well, we're friends," yes in the last life, and of course it's the same in this life.Zhou Ran lowered her eyes and smiled, closed the phone, hung up the phone, and flung it towards the bed.

Of course he knew why his home was burglarized, and why his room was just overturned and searched, it was because some people were in a hurry.

Hu Jinbiao has a cautious temper, ever since he got on the boat of Huang's family. , I don’t know how much useful information has been collected behind the scenes, just the officials of Xunyang City have countless handles, but it was his overly cautious temper that killed him. In this way, the fish died and the net was broken. It is uncertain who died in the end.

During the period when he was kidnapped and used as an experimental product, Zhou Ran saw Hu Jinbiao recording data more than once when he was conscious, and would also record another data. After being rescued and sent to the old monk to recuperate At that time, he took it to study the half of the medical book written by Hu Jinbiao's baby, which depicted incomprehensible characters. After carefully studying the mystery, he found that there were many small characters annotated on it. In the end, Zhou Ran discovered the secret of his behavior.

As long as you find that ledger, you will not be afraid of the forces hidden behind the Huang family, and your desire to bring it down will no longer be a fantasy.

By the time Zhou Ran packed up his emotions and went downstairs to eat, Huo Wendong had already gone back to his room. Zhou Ran stood outside the door for a long time with his lips pursed. One was waiting inside and the other was watching outside, in a stalemate. No one has taken the first step.

It was dawn again all night.

Zhou Ran woke up very early that day. When he was sitting at the dinner table, Lin Lang keenly noticed that he was wearing a little too much today, and his face was obviously pale. Seeing that he was not in a good mood, he just wanted to say something , I heard Zhou Ran say in a low voice: "I plan to go back to Xunyang City today. I already booked the ticket last night. The plane at ten o'clock."

Everyone at the dinner table stopped immediately, Huo Wendong's face was sullen and gloomy, "Didn't you already agree to celebrate the New Year here?"

"I'm just telling you," Zhou Ran put down his chopsticks, said lightly, and got up to go back to the room to pack his things.

Huo Wendong grabbed his wrist, pulled him and planned to spread out with him, but as soon as he started, the heat from Zhou Ran's body hit his face, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized that Zhou Ran's body temperature was high. He was a little abnormal, he hurriedly wrapped him in his arms, and shouted in multiple voices: "Ran Ran, Ran Ran, do you have a fever?"

Zhou Ran was already in low spirits, and after being shaken vigorously a few times, his head sank, and he fell directly into Huo Wendong's arms.

"Go and call the doctor," Lin Lang saw that Huo Wendong ran upstairs with Zhou Ran in his arms, why did he tell the servant to call the family doctor, then turned around and told Assistant Xiao Wang, "Go and refund the ticket that A Ran booked, hurry up Yes."

Assistant Xiao Wang nodded, picked up his mobile phone to make a call, and heard the reply there after speaking, he couldn't help wondering, "The airport staff said that there is no flight to Xunyang City in the morning..."
