Chapter 284: Chapter 283: Cherishing Life (Second Update)
The Ginsengfruit was powerful, and Little Paperman didn’t screw things up either, deliberately creating a commotion behind the cellar and reception center.
The police immediately followed and quickly discovered and brought out those who were hidden in the cellar.
At the same time, Yun Ran and others who were trapped in the small tin house were also rescued.
The leading police officer looked at so many innocent victims, his eyebrows almost squeezed a fly to death—the health station here was also far away.
Fortunately, the bodyguards had a wide range of skills and some simple medical equipment on hand, so dealing with injuries was not an issue.
Some went after the escaping bandits, chasing them far away, but sadly failed to catch them. However, they discovered the equipment hidden by the bandits.
Dragging back the items was a small consolation.
The victims were all gathered and closely watched, as no one could guarantee there weren’t any bandits among them.
They could only wait for them to wake up, then screen their identities one by one. Anyone with a slight issue, got system bracelets.
Aside from a few injured victims, the rest mainly suffered superficial injuries or had been knocked unconscious.
As daylight approached, Yun Ran pretended to wake up, looking shocked at the sight of so many people.
"Who are you guys, why did you kidnap me, I have money, don’t hurt me!!!"
Watching from the corner, Ginsengfruit couldn’t help but cover its eyes at its Host’s ’overacting’—too exaggerated.
But Yun Ran felt quite satisfied with herself, while the nearby police officers watched her awkwardly.
They were used to all sorts, and had already pegged Yun Ran as the kind of ’drama queen’ who loves to kick up a fuss.
"Don’t be afraid, young lady, we are the police, you are safe now."
Ginsengfruit immediately rushed over like a cannonball.
"Master, you finally woke up, you scared me to death."
At this moment, Ginsengfruit’s acting reached its peak, expressing fear, concern, and relief vividly.
Meanwhile, it communicated with Yun Ran using system’s voice: [Host, your crying and shouting just now were too exaggerated. Don’t leave them with a lasting impression.]
Yun Ran: ...
She could only use the action of hugging Ginsengfruit to cover her face and reveal an expression of speechlessness.
Once the police learned that Yun Ran was actually the daughter of the Hai City Yun Family, the suspicion on her was finally cleared.
By now the sky was fully lit, and Yun Ran prepared to leave with her bicycle.
One of the younger police officers kindly advised, "Miss Yun, if possible, we suggest you travel with a group. It’s not very safe for you alone."
Yun Ran quickly nodded, appearing to have been frightened by the ordeal: "Mhm~"
Once away from the area, Yun Ran finally let out a breath of relief.
"Luckily we didn’t get involved earlier, otherwise, our ears would surely be blistering from being nagged at. I don’t know how these people do it at such a young age, they talk so much!"
"That must be because they’ve seen too many dumb people doing stupid things, and they don’t take advice..."
Yun Ran thought about it; it seemed true, but it didn’t have much to do with her.
With half a month of vacation left, Yun Ran had no plans to go back so soon. She wanted to tour the Northwest first.
Otherwise, certain people from the Special Administration Bureau might tease her about actually coming here to avoid trouble, which would be embarrassing for her.
After having enough fun, it would just be time for the Xuanmen Competition, and she could take time off again, oh yeah~
Ginsengfruit sat in the backseat, now holding a big tub of yogurt.
While eating, it said, "Host, you haven’t met that Doctor Yu before, his brow was covered in dark clouds."
For some reason, the name sounded familiar.
At the same time, Yun Ran suddenly had an uneasy feeling, halting her pedaling abruptly.
Turning to Ginsengfruit, she asked, "Why didn’t you say so before?"
"Wasn’t it because you said you didn’t want to be involved with karma?"
If it weren’t for hearing that these people were from an archaeological team from a university in Capital City, Ginsengfruit wouldn’t have taken this matter seriously.
Yun Ran, always trusting her instincts, began to perform fortune-telling.
Calculating matters related to oneself is always somewhat hindered.
Sweat was now forming on Yun Ran’s forehead, unclear whether it was from fortune-telling or bicycling.
"I knew I felt uneasy for some reason; it is indeed related to me!"
Yun Ran took out her phone and called Principal Du Cheng.
Principal Du Cheng was in a meeting and under normal circumstances, unless there was a fire, he wouldn’t interrupt the meeting.
The assistant whispered into his ear, "Principal, it’s Yun Ran calling."
Principal Du Cheng glanced at the assistant, "Continue with the meeting, keep an eye on things."
After saying that, he took his phone and left the meeting room.
As soon as the call was picked up, he heard Yun Ran’s energetic voice, "Principal, do you know an archaeologist named Doctor Yu?"
"You mean Yu Zongshan, I’ve mentioned before, I have a friend in Capital City, he has special admissions spots for the university..."
Yun Ran immediately knew why she felt uneasy; Principal Du Cheng knew she was a person of Xuanmen and wasn’t one for studies.
So, using his personal connections, he paved the way for Yun Ran in advance.
No Doctor Yu = Losing the special admissions spot = She would have to struggle for years to get into university
Looking at it this way, well, Doctor Yu was indeed her Noble, and he couldn’t have an accident. To make slacking off easier in the future, worrying a little now was necessary.
"Okay, I got it."
Du Cheng knew well that Yun Ran wasn’t someone to stir up trouble for nothing. Since she asked, it meant there was an issue.
Yun Ran hastily hung up the phone, giving Principal Du Cheng, who was very conscious of boundaries, no chance to speak.
Principal Du Cheng really treated Yun Ran like his junior, genuinely breaking his heart over her future.
Seeing the hung-up phone, Principal Du Cheng was momentarily at a loss for words, as most people would love to foster a relationship with him, but this girl was truly fierce.
Ginsengfruit hadn’t stopped gobbling, smacking away and finishing a tub of yogurt.
"Host, you’re not planning on ’coincidentally’ meeting them, are you? They’re driving with four wheels; you can’t catch up."
After thinking for a moment, Yun Ran took out two Little Papermen; if she couldn’t chase them, the Little Papermen could.
"Both of you follow Doctor Yu and ensure he doesn’t die, for the rest, don’t intervene."
If she were just a person with the Heavenly Abandoned Fate, it would be fine to intervene in some matters.
But now it was different. Yun Ran felt her fate was not just simply Heavenly Abandoned; it was wiser to cherish life.
