Chapter Thirty-Two: The Shadow Descends

  "Nothing! I'm watching TV! Why would you think of going to the mall?! I remember you're the one who hates going out the most! What surprise, tell me, if it's not expensive, I won't go!" He Meili was being arrogant again, but in reality, she had a thousand thoughts running through her mind. Ever since Li You Ran saved her, her way of thinking had changed greatly. A man with money and who treats you well is indeed very attractive! But a man willing to risk his life for you, can't that explain everything?!

  She's willing! But she can't say to Li You Ran "I'm willing to be your girlfriend! Come and be my boyfriend!" That's too shameless, at least make him dangle a bit! Men who are too easy to get don't know how to cherish!

  "It doesn't matter, I'll just go pick him up tomorrow! That's it! I need to find a place to rest, there really is nowhere else to go!" Li You Ran said after finishing speaking and hung up the phone, making He Mei Li think that she didn't even have the chance to call him over.

  "Idiot! You've come and I can still drive you away, can't I? Hmph! How infuriating! Go to sleep!"

  Li You Ran, who had no idea that he had missed an opportunity, could only rest for a night at the inn in the nearby town.

  While Li You Ran was resting, in a high-rise building in the city center, two people were discussing something about him.

  "Big sister! It's all clear now, the groom got into a conflict with this person named Li You Ran, then kidnapped his friend, and that's what led to everything. What do you think we should do to resolve it?"

  A woman holding a glass of red wine gazes out at the night view while listening to the report in her hand.

  "Don't be so vague! I know you have a more detailed report! Spit it out! An ordinary person can't cause that kind of harm! Zhou Yuxiang is also a waste, if not for that marriage contract, I'd want to get rid of him! It's good this way, at least he won't be able to humiliate me everywhere from now on, and it's also giving an account to Dad's old friend. Speak up!"

  It turned out she was Zhou Pi's wife and seemed to have a lot of power.

  "Yes! The reason for the conflict was that the boss wanted to make a pass at that woman, but failed. Then he hated the male friend by her side, Li You Ran, thinking he was meddling in between. He started targeting him everywhere and eventually found an excuse to fire him. As it turned out, Li You Ran had a fiery temper too, so he quit on the same day. The boss then used the reason that Li caused losses for the company and wanted to deduct his salary, but ended up getting beaten by him."

  "Wait a minute! Don't call him brother-in-law from now on! Anyway, he's already become a useless person. Just raise him and don't need to show respect for him. If he doesn't know what's good for him, just drive him out of the Liu family."

  When the woman said that, the man inexplicably felt a surge of joy in his heart, as if he wanted to thank Li You Ran's ancestors. He was also considered a member of the Liu family, albeit a distant relative who had been attached to the Liu family since childhood and grew up with Liu Jiajia, whom he had always liked. However, it turned out that Master Liu had married off his eldest daughter to Zhou Yuxiang due to a promise made years ago.

  Although the big sister's means are clever, making Zhou Yuxiang know difficulty and retreat, but this nominal couple is naturally being envied by him. Now that he has been disabled by Li You Ran, he is naturally overjoyed and even wants to give Li You Ran a banner of "eliminating harm for the people". When speaking, he also unknowingly leans towards Li You Ran.

  "Ah! I see! This Li You Ran is no ordinary person."

  "Oh! How can it be so simple? Tell me more." The big sister became interested.

  "The day before he left, we found out that his bank deposit had increased by 2 million! After that, he quit promptly. I think this is also the reason why he has the guts to do so! After all, he has been with the company for several years, if he had this courage earlier, he would have left long ago."

  "Hmm! Indeed it is! But just because of this, saying he's not simple is a bit too much! Two million, for ordinary people, is indeed a lot! But for us, it's just a number."

  "Of course! That's not the point, the point is that he received a deposit of 400 million yuan just one day later! And according to our investigation, the source of this money was actually from the Yuan Group's subsidiary, Dajin Jewelry." He stopped here.

  "Yuan's group, that's interesting! But if it's about the Da Jin jewelry, maybe he sold some treasure. That's not surprising, there have been cases where people sell treasures for sky-high prices."

  "It did happen! And we inferred it was, but it's not that simple! The young lady heard that Yuan Lifen, who didn't get along with you, has been promoted and is now in the demon capital managing the family business."

  "What's the big deal! Do you think it's difficult for me to leave this place?" The young lady raised an eyebrow, annoyed at the mention of Yuan Li Fei's name. From childhood to adulthood, she had never been suppressed by Yuan Li Fei.

  "I didn't mean that, I think this has something to do with Li You Ran. That money was sent by Yuan Li Fei, and then she went on a trip to the Imperial Capital, after which she rose to power in Mo Du."

  "How interesting! No great reward without great effort, especially for women! The Yuan Group is notoriously conservative, but this time they're being so generous! What did you find out?"

  "We didn't find anything, but we got a message! A researcher from the appraisal department of Dajin Jewelry suddenly went missing. It's said that someone from the capital came to take him away, and he escaped through the ventilation duct while going to the bathroom. This is not something an ordinary person can do. It's said that this person has grasped something that the Yuan Group wants to cover up. In the past few days, the city has been in a state of panic, and the Yuan Group has sealed off all major transportation routes. Their people are everywhere, even ** have been mobilized. It looks like this thing is connected to many others! I think this is related to Li You Ran, otherwise why would Yuan Lifen spend 40 million on that jewelry."

  "What you said is right! As far as I know, that woman wouldn't personally take action unless it's worth tens of millions. Investigate the appraiser thoroughly, and have Li You Ran keep an eye on things from her end. You can go now." The young mistress gave her orders and left, her subordinate gazing longingly at her back before disappearing into the darkness.

  And the appraiser they were talking about, at this time was just coming out of a manhole in a sewer, he had been running for several days, but couldn't find an opportunity to leave, even the sewage treatment plant was guarded by their people. He had only studied a little bit of the powder of that gemstone, and as a result, he discovered a shocking great secret! Then, just as he was overjoyed, people from the Yuan Group came, saying they wanted to take him to the Imperial Capital.

  If it were in the past, he would have begged for it! Now, however, he's afraid of it, this thing is too hot to handle, its value is too great! So great that he'll be turned into powder directly, so he ran away, not wanting to die, he must run! Maybe he can find a force to rely on with his own research! In that case, he would also be safe! On the premise that he must find a way to leave.
