During dinner, Lin Ran and Ji Ningyu, who starred in a certain movie, sat side by side. Ji Keping, the "father-in-law" always wanted to talk to Lin Ran, and even toasted his "son-in-law" from time to time. However,
Lin Ran's behavior was very cold.
For a father who almost threw his daughter into a pit of fire, Lin Ran really didn't need to give him any face.
Ji Keping always had a hot face but a cold butt, but he didn't have any objections, let alone get angry because of it. Instead, he kept smiling in apology. After all, S-class bosses are all aloof, and they can sit at the same table together.
Eating is an honor for his old Ji family.
Ji Ningyu's attitude is also very cold. Indeed, once some grudges are formed, they are not so easy to eliminate.
What's more, Ji Keping's previous expression was enough to make people feel disgusted.
"Let me simply express my opinion." Lin Ran put down his chopsticks and then glanced at everyone on the table.
His tone was very calm, but everyone who looked at him couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble.
"This time, the death of S-class Xu Liangkai will definitely cause a big shock in the world of martial arts. I hope my identity will not be leaked. Can you do it?"
"Lin Ran, don't worry." Ji Yingbo said, "I have repeatedly told everyone in the Ji family to keep their mouths shut. They must not reveal anything about what happened today!"
After hearing this, Lin Ran said calmly: "Okay, I hope the Ji family can keep their word and don't let me down."
"Definitely, definitely." Ji Keping smiled.
His old face was indeed quite thick, and he didn't feel any embarrassment at all while chatting with Lin Ran.
"In addition, I think that although you are family members, you should not interfere with Ning Yu's marriage. Do you understand?" Lin Ran added.
This sentence is actually the most critical part of this meal.
Lin Ran was not confident about Ji Keping's character and had to explain it one more time.
"That's for sure...why would I interfere in Ning Yu's marriage again? I didn't recognize Mr. Lin, an S-level powerhouse, at that time, so..." Ji Keping puffed up his chest and said, "I promise, this kind of thing
It will never happen to me again!"
Ji Ningyu lowered her head to eat the vegetables without saying anything else.< br>
She usually doesn't eat much, but today she ate significantly more than usual, perhaps to make up for her previous consumption.
…………
After dinner, Lin Ran had just left Ji's house and was about to meet Qin Wanxi's brother and sister, when his cell phone rang.
He opened it and saw that it was Wen Yuexin, the daughter of Wen Huaiyuan, the head of Shuangshan Island.
"Brother Lin Ran, I'm at Shuangshan Island." She said with a smile, "Today, I heard about your heroic deeds."
"My heroic deeds?"
Lin Ran frowned slightly, and suddenly felt very surprised.
I just ordered the Ji family to keep secret about today's events, but the news has already spread to Shuangshan Island? It's a bit too fast!
"Yes, today a newly promoted S-class member of the Xu family in Dingzhou suddenly fell seriously ill. From then on, he closed the door to thank guests and never saw anyone again. This matter... with an S-class physical fitness, how could he suddenly become ill?" Wen Yue
Xin smiled, the direction of her words was already very obvious.
The subtext seems to be saying - just admit it, it was you who did it.
"Maybe it's because I got carried away while practicing." Lin Ran smiled and said, "It's also possible that some gangsters who usually keep a low profile took action."
"No, there are too many people watching this kind of thing. Once you do it, you will be easily exposed. Moreover, other forces in the Jianghu world are willing to see another S-class appear." Wen Yuexin said.
.
"Oh? Shouldn't they be wary of the appearance of an S-class strongman, lest it cause resource involution and status competition for them?" Lin Ran asked.
"The military is getting stronger and stronger, and the Warrior Management Office is already reaching out to the world of martial arts. One more super master will be a bargaining chip for negotiating with the military."
Lin Ran hadn't thought of this before. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Then it's very possible that the military department did this."
"Actually, just half an hour ago, the heads of the top ten Jianghu forces had already held a remote meeting." Wen Yuexin, acting as Lin Ran's qualified internal response, said: "After all, Jianghu Zhongming is on the bright side.
There are only a few S-class people, and everyone knows it. However, except for the top ten forces, there are almost no forces in the Jianghu world that can use S-class to kill Xu Liangkai. Therefore, most of the suspicions are directed at the military.
"
Lin Ran laughed: "So, they can only suffer the loss of being dumb. There is no evidence to prove that it was the military department."
"But, Sister Qingcheng said it was you." Wen Yuexin smiled happily.
It seems that she thinks so too.
Lin Ran's expression suddenly became difficult. Could it be said that he was betrayed by his fiancée? .???.
"Su Qingcheng...has her brain got wet?" Lin Ran coughed twice.
"Sister Qingcheng didn't say this at a meeting of various sects, she just said it to me." Wen Yuexin said.
Lin Ran was a little surprised. When did Wen Yuexin have such a good relationship with Su Qingcheng? Weren't these two girls always inseparable before?
However, the next second, Wen Yuexin continued to smile and said:
"By the way, Sister Qingcheng is right next to me. She heard everything you just said."
Lin Ran's expression became even more difficult and was about to freeze on his face.
"Then why didn't you remind me earlier?" Lin Ran was about to cry.
Why do you feel like you are complaining about your wife to others, but your wife peeks into the chat history?
For some reason, Lin Ran felt a little shorter every time he was in front of Su Qingcheng. He didn't know if it was because he was born with the gene of being a soft-boiler, or because the other person's image was too bright.
"So, is this the image I have in your impression?" Su Qingcheng's voice came from the other end of the phone. It sounded nice but had a slightly ethereal meaning. It was not particularly real, but it was different from her fairy.
Their looks match each other perfectly.
"No, no, no, it's really not, cough, cough, cough." Lin Ran was embarrassed, coughed several times, and said, "There is no water in your brain, it's me. Water got in...yes, that's me."
Su Qingcheng had already answered the phone and said sternly: "This incident is taken very seriously by Jianghu sects. After all, this incident has brought them a strong sense of crisis... Regardless of whether you did it or not, you have to be careful.
"
This was a warning, but I don't know if Su Qingcheng's concern was hidden in it.
"Well, that's true. I can understand their sense of crisis." Lin Ran said.
Indeed, a big boss has just emerged in the Jianghu world, and he is suspected of being beaten to death by the military department. If this continues, which sect can still have a sense of security? Wouldn't everyone be in danger?
"So, don't let so many spearheads be pointed at you." Su Qingcheng said.
Lin Ran did not deny it anymore, but said: "It is impossible to maintain absolute confidentiality, but even if they come to my door, I will not be afraid."
"You are very confident."
"Yes, after all, if you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, my fiancée is not a decoration." Lin Ran said with a smile, "I am willing to eat soft rice, can they care about it?"
After hearing this, Su Qingcheng slightly raised the corners of her lips, outlining a beautiful arc that Lin Ran couldn't see. Then, her smile faded slightly and she said: "Let's meet at a higher place after you recover from your injury."
.”
Lin Rang just wanted to agree, but he felt keenly that there seemed to be some overtones in this sentence!
"Qingcheng, what do you mean by higher places?" Lin Ran narrowed his eyes, "Do you have to wait until I recover from my injury?"
He understood Su Qingcheng's subtext.
If you follow what the other party said, then your strength before you recovered from the injury is still unable to meet the requirements of that "higher place"!
Su Qingcheng chuckled lightly and did not answer directly, but said: "I need to leave for a while recently. If anyone in the Jianghu world dares to take advantage of this to cause trouble for you, wait until I come back to deal with them."
After saying that, the phone was hung up.
Lin Ran held the phone in his hand and fell into deep thought for a long time.
After a long time, he spoke and said softly: "Qingcheng, where are you going?"
