155: Chapter 155 Zhang Yuan's Visit

After lunch, an uninvited guest arrived at Xiao Ran's villa!

It was someone he didn't want to see, but had no choice but to.

"Director Zhang, what an honor! I apologize for not coming out to greet you!" Xiao Ran felt bitter inside, but still welcomed Director Zhang, the head of the Public Security Bureau, into the living room with a smile.

Zhang Yuan was beaming, looking to be in a good mood, and said with a chuckle, "Mr. Xiao, you certainly made me search for you!"

"Director Zhang, what are you saying? If you want to find me, I couldn't hide from you!" Xiao Ran chuckled.

Then, he very politely brewed a pot of tea for Zhang Yuan.

The etiquette of hospitality naturally couldn't be omitted.

As for the purpose of his visit, he understood it more or less.

Everything was unsaid.

Zhang Yuan picked up the emerald green teacup, took a light sip of the hot tea, and his eyes immediately lit up:

"Excellent biluochun!"

"I didn't expect Director Zhang to also be a tea lover!" Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow and said with a chuckle.

"Haha, not really. It's just that I've met more people, so I've drunk a bit more tea!"

"I understand! I understand!" Xiao Ran gave him an understanding look, then continued, "If Director Zhang doesn't mind, would you like to take a few liang back with you later?"

Zhang Yuan glanced at him and half-jokingly said, "Chairman Xiao! Are you trying to bribe an official in office?"

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!" Xiao Ran waved his hands repeatedly.

He wasn't surprised at all that his identity had been revealed.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly got down to business.

"Mr. Xiao, are your injuries much better now?" Zhang Yuan suddenly asked.

He's testing me right away?

Xiao Ran knew that he certainly couldn't hide from the police's eyes.

But he already knew everything, yet he was still playing a riddle, wasn't he tired?

Xiao Ran put away his carefree demeanor, his eyes becoming somewhat sharp: "Director Zhang, just tell me directly, what do you want from me?"

"Mr. Xiao, I just told your girlfriend your whereabouts." Zhang Yuan suddenly said something astonishing.

"What? What girlfriend?"

Xiao Ran was surprised.

He wasn't even ready yet, and he was still thinking about how to face those girls.

He didn't expect Zhang Yuan to just tell them his news?

"Don't be nervous!" Zhang Yuan waved his hand, then continued to ask:

"Gu Yurou is your girlfriend, right?"

"Uh... yes!" Xiao Ran hesitated a bit, but still confirmed it.

So he was talking about Gu Yurou!

He thought he had told Liang Shiqing about his situation!

But since it was Gu Yurou, it would be much easier to handle; there was a lot of room for maneuver!

"That girl is the daughter of an old friend of mine, but don't worry, I didn't tell her your specific information, I just mentioned that you were injured."

"That's good!" Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan hadn't leaked all of his information.

Otherwise, a bunch of people would rush here, crying and asking this and that, and he wouldn't know how to deal with it.

"Thank you, Director Zhang..."

"Don't be so formal! Yu Rou calls me Uncle, so you can call me Uncle from now on too! Young man, I have high hopes for you!"

As Zhang Yuan spoke, he suddenly leaned closer and patted Xiao Ran's shoulder.

"Uncle Zhang! You're too kind!" Xiao Ran naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to get closer.

However, you dare to casually pat the shoulder of a chairman!

Could it be that he really took him for Gu Yurou's future husband?

Just as Xiao Ran was about to boast, Zhang Yuan suddenly changed the subject: "Where did the bullet that wounded you go?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran subconsciously touched his abdomen.

This action naturally didn't escape Zhang Yuan's eyes, and he immediately asked with some concern, "It hit your stomach? Are you alright?"

Good heavens!

He's still setting traps for him here!

These old foxes are full of tricks!

"Mm! But I'm fine now, the bullet has been removed!"

"Can you give us the bullet?"

"Yes!"

"..."

After seeing Zhang Yuan leave the villa, Xiao Ran sat back in the living room.

Zhang Yuan's arrival was clearly with good intentions.

He also mentioned something about a 'Courageous Act Award' or something similar, which Xiao Ran naturally didn't care for.

Looking at his beaming face, he must have received commendation from above.

Even before he left, Xiao Ran had a talk with him.

For example, telling a small lie and selectively concealing things from Gu Yurou.

As for whether he could fool them, that would depend on his acting skills!

This time, he was preparing to do something big to see how much lifespan he could get.

"Hee hee hee~~"

The unrestrained laughter echoed in the empty living room, scaring Old Lu, who was on standby, into shrinking his neck!

——

The scorching sun shone directly.

The blue-roofed, white-walled villa seemed to glow with dazzling light.

A very familiar villa!

This was Jiang Siyue's residence in Donghai, and it was in the same villa complex as Xiao Ran!

After bidding farewell to Xiao Ran, Zhang Yuan drove directly to Jiang Siyue's place, half a kilometer away.

"Uncle Zhang! Please have some tea!" Jiang Siyue gently pushed the teacup, her demeanor serene and elegant, every movement pleasing to the eye.

"Thank you!"

"Slurp~~" Zhang Yuan took a sip of tea, his eyes suddenly widened, and a familiar phrase blurted out: "Excellent biluochun!"

He was slightly surprised in his heart.

Not only was it the same tea name, but compared to the one at Xiao Ran's place, there wasn't the slightest difference in taste!

It was as if it was brewed from the same pot of tea!

He almost suspected that these two people might be sharing a can of tea leaves!

"I didn't expect Uncle Zhang to also be a tea lover!" Jiang Siyue's lips curved slightly upward, revealing an elegant smile.

"Not at all! Miss Jiang is joking."

Jiang Siyue was not someone who liked to dally, so she directly asked her question: "Uncle Zhang, is there any news about my friend?"

"There's news! It's just that..." Zhang Yuan hesitated.

Xiao Ran clearly didn't want his information exposed.

But with Jiang Siyue's capabilities, finding out his information was only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, he gave the answer: "Miss Jiang, Xiao Ran is a student at the University of Finance. As for the rest of the information, you'll have to ask him yourself."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"

"..."

Jiang Siyue stood at the villa entrance, watching Zhang Yuan leave.

Her clear, translucent eyes held a hint of anticipation, sparkling with deep sorrow.

"Husband... your death anniversary... is almost here..."

"At that time... let your friends see you too..."

...——

Thanks again to the big shot who loves to eat pork for the reward.

There aren't many extra chapters, please don't mind.
