The ringing mobile phone was not the one found on Wang Qiang's body, but Chen Ran's own mobile phone. Chen Ran took out the mobile phone and took a look, but to his surprise, the person calling him turned out to be Professor Yue.
Although he was a little surprised that Professor Yue suddenly called him, he quickly answered the phone and took the initiative to say hello to Professor Yue.
"What? It can't be me? It's fine if you don't come to see me, you little brat. You can't bear to even make a phone call. You even let me, an old guy, take the initiative to fight with you. Is it just an old horse kissing you? I won't
Kissed."
Hearing Chen Ran's greeting, Professor Yue smiled and started to greet Chen Ran.
"Of course not..."
Facing Professor Yue's squeeze, Chen Ran could only smile bitterly and deny it repeatedly. There was nothing he could do about it. After all, the other party was an elder. He couldn't push him, so he should return it.
Professor Yue laughed, obviously very satisfied with Chen Ran's attitude. After laughing, he paused and then asked: "Xiao Ran, have they already looked for you?"
"them?"
Professor Yue suddenly called him. Although Chen Ran was a little surprised, he didn't think of anything else for the moment. Now that Professor Yue suddenly asked him such an inexplicable question, he was stunned for a moment.
Of course, Chen Ran was just stunned for a moment, and then he realized who Professor Yue was talking about.
"Professor Yue, are you talking about the National Security Bureau?"
After Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, he began to ask thoughtfully. When he asked, his mind was also very active. It was obvious that Professor Yue suddenly called him because he answered Wang Qiang's mobile phone call just now.
Of course, this is not the key. The key thing is that judging from the fact that Professor Yue called him after he answered the phone, it was obvious that as he guessed, the two people from Guoan were not from the Wu family or from the Wu family.
Wu Laosan might have been sent by someone else who didn't like him, but he had other matters. As for what it was, it was obviously related to him and Professor Yue.
After confirming that the two people from Guoan were not sent by the Wu family, Chen Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he now has a foundation in Tianzhong City, this foundation is too fragile.
In front of such a behemoth as the Wu family, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is just a piece of paper. The Wu family does not even need to take action at all. They only need to show their attitude towards him, and maybe they can knock this piece of paper upside down.
After being completely relieved, Chen Ran became curious again. Since they were not sent by the Wu family, what did the people from the National Security Bureau want to do with him? Although he knew some knowledge about antiques, at this point in the country,
He is much more famous than himself, and the same is true for other aspects. What's more, what kind of department is the National Security Bureau? It seems to have nothing to do with this industry. At most, it is the intervention of the public security.
But the organization comes forward?
Confused, Chen Ran asked Professor Yue.
"Did people from the National Security Bureau find you? I don't know the details. I only know that they asked you to do them a favor. This favor may be related to the Shui family pattern."
Professor Yue's words surprised Chen Ran again. Listening to Professor Yue's tone, Professor Yue didn't know that the person who was looking for him was from the National Security Bureau. In this case, there are two possibilities. One is the person who asked Professor Yue for help.
It was a certain privileged person who was able to hire people from the National Security Bureau to do things. Another person from the National Security Bureau asked Professor Yue for help and even Professor Yue hid it.
After listening to Professor Yue's words, Chen Ran finally understood the whole story. It turned out that the problem still lay in Guixiong Ridge. During the review, he tried his best to reduce his influence in the whole process.
However, these people who obviously escaped from Guixiong Ridge could not ignore his role in it. Now someone apparently asked Professor Yue to help crack the Shui family pattern, and Professor Yue pushed him out.
That’s what happened after that.
In fact, Chen Ran's guess was wrong. It was not Professor Yue who pushed him out, but someone else.
After understanding the whole story, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. He even asked him for help. Is this called a request? If he was really taken away by them, why wouldn't others accuse him of being a traitor?
"Haha, Xiaoran, since they are asking for your help, then you should go and have a look, maybe you can meet... Ahem, it will be good for you to see more of the world and accumulate some qualifications. Now that this matter is done
, you can come directly to the capital, and we can have a good time together..."
Professor Yue may have a good relationship with the person who asked him to do something, but he hoped that Chen Ran could come forward to help. But in the middle of saying this, he didn't know what Professor Yue wanted to say.
As if he suddenly let something slip, he coughed to cover it up, and then changed his accent.
Of course, Chen Ran didn't notice this at this moment, because just now he was thinking about whether to help this person. According to his own intention, he didn't want to help this person. After all, the other party's response to this matter
It can be seen that this matter is by no means a trivial matter, and he knows everything about it. Who knows what the other party's purpose is, and who knows whether this matter is dangerous...
In fact, the most important thing is that he is not a pushy person. Who is willing to do something that is not beneficial and may be dangerous?
However, everything has a but.
However, there are many things in this world that you can't just do if you don't want to do them. Whether you want to do them or not is up to him. What's more, he and Guoan have already formed a grudge, and Guoan is willing to put it aside?
Obviously, Chen Ran had to consider all of these.
"Okay, I'll go over to meet you in a few days. Don't kick me out then." Naturally, Chen Ran wouldn't tell Professor Yue what he was thinking in his heart. After hearing Professor Yue's words, he
He responded with a smile at first.
"Then let's make an agreement like this. If you don't come by then, I will go and catch you myself." After coming out of Guixiong Ridge, Professor Yue had not met Chen Ran even though he had spoken to Chen Ran several times on the phone.
It was a one-time meeting, so when he heard that Chen Ran would visit him in a few days, the old man was very happy and made an agreement with Chen Ran on the spot.
Although Chen Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had no choice but to agree again and again.
When Chen Ran took out his mobile phone to answer the call, he temporarily handed the plastic bag found from Wang Qiang to Yang Shijie. When Yang Shijie saw that Chen Ran was answering his phone, he also moved into the villa to let Chen Ran in.
The call was answered at the door of the villa.
Chen Rang just hung up Professor Yue's call, and before he could figure out the matter, he saw Yang Shijie hurriedly coming out of the villa in front of him, holding in his hand none other than Wang Qiang's cell phone.
The phone is vibrating, obviously the other party is calling again.
Chen Ran and Yang Shijie looked at each other and took the phone.
After taking the phone in his hand, Chen Ran did not choose to answer the call immediately. Instead, he frowned and pondered for a moment before answering the call. Before answering the phone, he involuntarily took a deep breath.
Because he could guess that the person who called this time must be the person in charge of this matter.
"Are you Chen Ran?" After the call was connected, a voice came over the phone, and the other party's voice was a little deep.
"Yes, you are?" Chen Ran paused for a moment and then asked in a calm tone.
The other party said in a deep voice: "My surname is Hou. You can call me Hou Chu or Mr. Hou. There is no one around you now, right?"
"No, tell me if you have anything to say." When he said this, Chen Ran did not raise his head to look at Yang Shijie, because the phone may have been modified and the sound was very quiet during the call. As long as he made a slight movement, if the other party
A master in a certain field may be able to detect it through his words.
Yang Shijie, who was standing aside, consciously restrained his breathing when he heard Chen Ran's words.
The other party hummed, and then said to Chen Ran in a deep voice: "I order you based on the country's justice and the country's honor and disgrace. From now on, you can't tell anyone that I talked to you on the phone, and you can't talk to anyone about anything related to it.
Otherwise, you will be convicted of treason. Now, in the name of the General Administration of State Security, I formally invite you to join us in this operation. Can you agree?"
The other party neither mentioned Wang Qiang or the two of them, nor did they tell him about Professor Yue's phone call with him. Chen Ran was surprised, and Chen Ran originally thought that the other party would warn him or even threaten him.
It was strange, but in fact, apart from warning him not to leak the secret, the other party did not say anything threatening to him, as if he didn't care whether he was willing or not.
The more the other party doesn't care, the more confidence the other party has in his heart. But what makes Chen Ran a little confused is that since the other party has already planned to take forceful measures if he is not willing, why bother telling him through Professor Yue?
Well, is the other party's plan to give Professor Yue some face first and then take action if he doesn't understand what's going on?
Although he was confused, Chen Ran couldn't think about it anymore. After thinking for a while, he agreed: "Okay, I promise you."
On the one hand, he completely fell out with Guoan, and on the other hand, he repaired the relationship with Guoan and even made friends with Guoan. Chen Ran has passed the impulsive stage and naturally knows how to choose. After all, he has almost no resistance against such a huge organization like Guoan.
To a certain extent, Guoan has represented the will of the country. In the face of national justice, let alone him, even He Zhenhua obviously has to contribute when he should.
Of course, a promise is a promise, but when doing something, you must do it within your own ability without endangering your own safety.
Chen Ran just thought about this point in his mind and did not bring it up to the other party face to face, because it can be seen from the fact that Guoan does not follow the rules. What is the use of raising it now, when it is on the other party's territory?
It's not the other party who has the final say, which is why he hesitates to agree or not. Now he can only take one step at a time.
"How long will it take? When do you need my help?" Chen Ran asked again after agreeing. Before going to help, he naturally had to make some preparations. At least he had to cure his narcolepsy, or else
That would be too dangerous.
The other party pondered for a moment before replying: "The time cannot be determined, because the matter is so important, even if the matter is completed, everyone involved will have to undergo an isolation review period of at least ten to fifteen days."
The other party's words made Chen Ran frown. He thought it would only last two or three days at most. Unexpectedly, the isolation and review time alone would take ten and a half months. He was quarantined and reviewed when he came out of Guixiong Ridge.
It lasted two days, so although I was a little surprised that I needed to be quarantined for review, I wasn't too surprised.
If it takes so long, then he will have to prepare more. But as soon as he had this idea, the tone and attitude of the other party suddenly became serious and tough.
"This matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed. You don't need to make any preparations. We have already prepared whatever you need. All you need to do now is to put down everything in your hands and set off immediately."
[I wanted to adjust my work and rest schedule, but I still didn’t adjust...]
