Speaking up to this point, Qin Ran threw the dagger in her hand into a puddle in the distance. “You guys have also seen it for yourselves. I’m a person who is apathetic and bloodthirsty. If you don’t do as I say and offend me, then the consequences…” Qin Ran deliberately stopped and raised her eyebrows as she sized up the three of them. In the end, she said, “The consequences will definitely be a hundred times worse than today!”

After she finished speaking, Qin Ran pulled open the zipper of her small satchel and took out a wet tissue from it. She gently wiped away the trace of blood on her collar and walked briskly towards the bookstore.

It was a work day, so there weren’t many customers in the bookstore. There were only a few children who were having summer break.

Qin Ran sat at the front desk, staring blankly at the book in her hand.

The Mo Family was one of the most prestigious families in Xuanchuan City, and there was bound to be a lot of bloodshed. Everyone in the circle said that Old Mr. Mo was biased towards his youngest son, but he gave Mo Chi the full authority to manage Tian Mo Corporation. Furthermore, the portion of the Mo Family’s properties and assets that were given to Mo Huai was only enough for the rest of his life. The remaining 99.9% was under Mo Chi’s name.

It was very simple. Although Old Mr. Mo was old, he was not muddle-headed. He cherished his youngest son, but he also knew that he was a weakling, a true prodigal. Although Mo Chi was the illegitimate son of his eldest son, he had great capabilities. Only by handing over the corporation and family business to him could the Mo Family continue to thrive.

Qin Ran understood why Mo Huai wanted to harm her child. It was probably because his nephew, Mo Chi, was too capable and had several bodyguards protecting him day and night, so he could only settle for second best.

This child was loved by Mo Chi and even Old Mr. Mo. If he harmed the child, Mo Chi’s descendants would be exterminated. Old Mr. Mo would also hate him. When the time came, he could fan the flames and perhaps get more of the family assets.

When she thought of this, Qin Ran carefully and gently rubbed her lower abdomen again. She felt very upset that she had let her baby experience a false alarm today. It turned out that as a mother, she would always prioritize her child.

“I don’t want to think about it anymore. Let’s think about what would happen tonight.” Qin Ran gently shook her head. It was useless to think too much about what had already happened. It was better to think about the video call tonight.

At seven in the evening, at the Mo Residence.

Qin Ran turned on the computer and operated it. It was another website that had reinforced multiple defenses and firewalls. Qin Ran clicked on it and found a window among the mess of codes. She then entered her account ID and password.

This was an internal website that was connected to the International Security Bureau and the S Research Center. Not all staff members could log in at will. Only those who had a high enough rating and were old enough could have their own accounts and passwords.

Right after that, Qin Ran opened Fu Li’s information on her phone and simply entered it. She clicked and submitted it. In less than two minutes, the computer interface seemed to have been infected by the trojan horse virus and suddenly turned pitch black.

Qin Ran’s expression remained unchanged. She counted down in her heart: Five, four, three, two, one.

A man who was holding a glass of red wine and was wearing a huge diamond appeared. It was bright and dazzling, but what was even more dazzling was the man’s face. His brows were slender, his eyes were deep, and the curve of his lips was beautiful and natural. He was wearing an orange flowery shirt. The two buttons near his neck were unbuttoned, revealing his fair and tender chest.

After he saw that the video call was connected, the man first smiled lightly before saying, “Lu Xi, Lu Xi, you’ve been hiding for half a year. You’re finally willing to see me again.”

This man was Tang Yan, the Director of the National Security Bureau’s lower grade A agents. He was the direct leader of Qin Ran and her superior.

Although there were quite a number of agents, Tang Yan had been the best to Qin Ran for many years. Firstly, it was because she was really smart and had completed the missions beautifully every single time. Secondly, he had been partners with her many times and had spent more time with her.

“Did you see the application I sent you?” Qin Ran cut straight to the point.

“I saw it, but who is this person? To think that he would be able to get your help.” Tang Yan swirled the wine glass and took a sip.

“He’s my fiancé. Although I’m not going to marry him, he’s still an important figure. Tell the people at the research center to treat him.” As expected, Tang Yan would ask so many questions.

“Not marrying him? Is he considered your fiancé then?” Tang Yan knew that this little girl had always been scheming and had a lot of tricks up her sleeves. She kept saying all sorts of things.

“Don’t bother about it. I only asked you to help me pass it over. Did you see the conditions I wrote? They won’t suffer any losses if the S Research Center accepts this mission.” Qin Ran couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

That was true. It was not something that could be done with money alone for the Beautiful Fox to help them with their network.
