333 Important Task
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran released his divine sense to explore a larger area. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief. “We’re overthinking.”
Ye Jin frowned in confusion. “What do you mean?”
Lin Ran raised his hand and drew a circle in the air. “Within 150 meters, it is empty, but further away from that, everything is as usual.”
Hearing this explanation, the confusion in Ye Jin’s eyes intensified. “But why is there no one within 150 meters? Where did they go?”
“How would I know?”
Lin Ran smiled bitterly and shrugged. Before Ye Jin could speak, he continued, “In short, everything is normal in the city,”at least for the time being. Don’t worry. Let’s go.”
Ye Jin looked at the empty living room again and opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. She nodded and set off with Lin Ran.
After that, just as Lin Ran had said, after the two of them walked for a while, the street slowly became lively. Although there were not many pedestrians passing by, it was still more normal than the empty street just now.
“See, I told you it was fine, right?”
Lin Ran looked at Ye Jin, who was frowning, and said with a smile, “Those people probably went out to do something together. Don’t worry.”
Ye Jin raised her eyebrows. “Dozens of families went out to do something together, but no one told my family?”
Lin Ran really didn’t know how to explain. He could only pretend not to hear it and continue walking.
In silence, the two of them arrived at the magistrate’s office.
Seeing the destination, Ye Jin revealed a puzzled expression. “What are we here for?”
“To attend an appointment.”
Lin Ran replied in a subtle tone. Before Ye Jin could ask further, he knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door opened and a young man in black stuck his head out. He yawned and said impatiently, “His Lordship is not up yet. Come back later!”
With that, the man closed the door. Lin Ran took a step forward and blocked the door from closing. “I’m not looking for His Lordship. I’m here to look for Sun Ge.”
“Looking for Brother Sun?”
The young man frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Wait here. I’ll go inform him.”
Ye Jin asked in confusion, “Didn’t he want to catch you? Why did you come looking for him?”
“Him wanting to catch me is just a misunderstanding.”
Lin Ran crossed his arms and replied with a smile, “Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why can’t I come to look for him?”
Ye Jin blinked, clearly not understanding. However, seeing how confident Lin Ran was, she didn’t say anything else.
The two of them waited quietly at the entrance of the magistrate’s office for a few minutes before the tightly shut door finally opened. It was still the same person who came out. “Brother Sun asked me to take you in—”
At this point, the man glanced at Ye Jin before turning his gaze back to Lin Ran. “But he said that he’ll only see you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Lin Ran could speak, Ye Jin exploded. “Why? Why wouldn’t he see me?”
“How would I know? Anyway, that’s what Brother Sun said.”
The man replied casually. His gaze landed on Lin Ran’s face and his tone became impatient again. “Are you coming in or not? If not, I’ll go back to sleep!”
Lin Ran nodded repeatedly. Actually, he had long guessed that this would happen. After all, Sun Ge and Chen Tianqi were ordered to kill Ye Jin’s mother back then. Sun Ge would definitely feel a little uncomfortable when he saw Ye Jin.
It was also because of this that Lin Ran wanted to sneak over to meet him last night. However, he was caught by Ye Jin in a moment of carelessness.
Seeing that Lin Ran agreed, the man stepped aside to make way.
Lin Ran was about to enter when he suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, it’s not good to let a girl wait outside so early in the morning. Can she wait for me inside?”
The man thought for a moment and nodded. Lin Ran looked at Ye Jin and said, “Wait for me. I’ll look for you in fifteen minutes at most.”
Ye Jin looked like she wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, Lin Ran said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Be good. Besides, I have an important task for you.”
Hearing that there was an “important task”, Ye Jin immediately perked up. “What task?”
Lin Ran smiled and whispered into her ear. After hearing it, Ye Jin looked puzzled. “Is this the important task you mentioned? But why do I feel that it’s a pointless task?”
“I knew you wouldn’t understand the importance of it.”
Lin Ran’s expression turned serious. He patted Ye Jin’s shoulder and said seriously, “This task is extremely important. Please do it seriously because it concerns our lives!”
“That important?”
Ye Jin’s expression instantly turned solemn. Then, she nodded heavily with a serious expression. “I’ll definitely do my best!”
“Thank you!”
Lin Ran gave her an affirmative look. When he turned to look at the man, he put on a relaxed expression. “Let’s go!”
The man turned around and brought the two of them into the magistrate’s office. He first found a room for Ye Jin to wait before bringing Lin Ran to see Sun Ge.
After the two of them left, Ye Jin immediately closed the door and windows. Then, she took off the necklace she was wearing and wiped it carefully. As she wiped it, she was wondering why the cleanness of this necklace concerned her and Lin Ran’s lives?
On the other side.
Lin Ran was brought to another room not far away. When he entered, Sun Ge was already waiting in the room.
Seeing Lin Ran enter, Sun Ge perked up. After greeting him, he said to the man who led the way, “Thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest.”
The man agreed and turned to leave. Only then did Sun Ge look at Lin Ran warily. “Why are you here again? Didn’t I tell you everything last night?”
“Yes, you did. That’s why I’m not here for you today…”
Lin Ran smiled casually. Before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and right on the heels of that, the smile on his face disappeared. “He’s here.”
