Gu Yuan, who was busy as a dog, was about to rest when he received a message from his subordinate.
Knowing that Yun Ran had unexpectedly taken the Special Administration Bureauâs special aircraft to the Northeast overnight, he was so excited that he jumped up directly.
He accidentally bit his tongue.
"Ouch!"
Gu Yuan covered his mouth in pain, his eyes full of disbelief.
"How could this girl be so reckless? Out of nowhere, sheâs mingling with that old fox Elder Gong!"
At this moment, he couldnât care about his tongue pain and quickly had someone investigate thoroughly to find out exactly what was happening, while also calling Xie Xuzhi, who had been discharged from the hospital.
"You better have a real urgent matter."
Listening to the cold voice of the boss on the other end, Gu Yuan completely lost his usual vigilance and rattled off the situation like a machine gun.
At last, he added excitedly: "Boss, you might need to activate the undercover agents at the Northeast Branch ahead of schedule.
My Ranran sister is unfamiliar there. If she gets tricked by those old foxes, how will I live?!!!"
Xie Xuzhi:...
He never imagined that Gu Yuan would have such an abstract moment.
Too lazy to deal with Gu Yuanâs unending cries, he hung up the phone and then had someone find out about Yun Ranâs situation.
When Yun Ran did these things, she didnât hide from anyone, and the Xie Family soon figured out the trajectory of Yun Ran these days.
Xie Xuzhi looked at the complete information delivered to him within half an hour, though it didnât specify what Yun Ran had discovered.
But according to the data, he could essentially infer what had likely happened.
He naturally understood that Yun Ran had persuaded Elder Gong and Minister Duan onto her side.
After putting down the information, Xie Xuzhi couldnât help but recognize Yun Ranâs cleverness.
She could even make friends with those who previously opposed her, convincing them to willingly share risks, truly a promising talent.
And as Gu Yuan, who was hung up, eased the pain of his tongue with a hissing sound, he dialed the helicopter.
Yun Ran was resting with her eyes closed as the staff on the helicopter came over carefully to speak: "Lady Yun, a call from Gu Chu."
Seeing the phone handed to her, Yun Ran glanced at Elder Gong and Minister Duan before calmly picking up the phone.
"Whatâs up?"
Upon hearing Yun Ranâs lazy and calm voice, Gu Yuanâs previously worried feelings immediately eased a lot.
"You little girl, I didnât see you for a moment, and you started doing big things, Iâm just worried about you."
The two were already familiar, so their conversation naturally wasnât very formal and went straight to the point.
"Uh, itâs just a small matter, you know my skills."
Even knowing others couldnât hear their conversation, Gu Yuan instinctively lowered his voice.
He complained softly, adding: "Of course I know your skills, itâs just Iâm worried others might deceive you.
They say you can know someoneâs face but not their heart, you have to be careful outside, donât let someone stab you in the back."
Even though Elder Gong is a notable figure in the Special Administration Bureau, in Gu Yuanâs mind, anyone not part of his people has questionable motives.
"Donât worry, Iâm not a good person either, Iâm full of mind games."
Gu Yuan:...
He didnât expect Yun Ran to speak of herself, even cursing herself, but it greatly relieved his worries.
"Alright then, over there in the Northeast, Iâll find you a few trusted people to follow you."
"Sure."
If it were someone elseâs goodwill, Yun Ran wouldnât care to give much face, but Gu Yuanâs face deserved some respect.
The phone quickly disconnected, and Minister Duanâs sarcastic voice rang out.
"Didnât realize you and Gu Chu have quite a good relationship, even calling directly to the helicopter, who are you suspicious of!"
Each special aircraft has its dedicated phone. Generally, people who donât get along internally wouldnât contact each otherâs people.
Now Gu Yuan didnât avoid suspicion at all, directly calling over; he wouldnât believe Gu Yuan didnât know he and Elder Gong were also on the plane.
This was blatantly saying he was watching them, hum, truly suspicious minds!
Yun Ran returned the phone to the staff and continued resting, too lazy to bother with the disputes of the Special Administration Bureauâs internal personnel.
Seeing Yun Ran not speaking, Minister Duan got even more irate.
"Iâm talking to you!"
Yun Ran said lightly: "Sorry, but as an outsider, itâs inappropriate for me to interfere in your internal matters."
Minister Duan:...
Alright, alright, he had never met anyone like Yun Ran who adapted to her identity so well; she was simply advancing and retreating strategically, her cheek not something ordinary people could compare to.
Now, Minister Duan increasingly regretted believing Yun Ranâs nonsense when he received her call.
Ginsengfruit held his mouth tight, fearing he might laugh accidentally. His host was known for being argumentative.
Those shrugging shoulders eventually didnât escape Minister Duanâs eyes.
Being rebuffed by that dead girl Yun Ran was one thing, but now even a little brat dared to laugh.
Minister Duan glared fiercely at Ginsengfruit: both master and apprentice are no good!
The special aircraft was fast; Yun Ran felt she hadnât rested long before the plane was about to descend.
Yun Ran habitually took out her phone, planning to check the time, and saw two unread messages.
One was from Gu Yuan, the other from Xie Xuzhi.
Gu Yuanâs message listed several absolutely trustworthy names.
And Xie Xuzhiâs had only one contact number, telling her to call that number if she needed people in the Northeast.
Yun Ran only had to think briefly to understand that Xie Xuzhi provided one of his forces belonging to the Northeast.
After scanning the names and contact numbers, Yun Ran deleted both messages.
No wonder Elder Gongâs status was high enoughâthe exclusive Northeast airport at this hour still had many picking him up.
When getting off the plane, Elder Gong glanced at Yun Ran and reminded: "Stay calm later, follow me, and donât interrupt."
Yun Ran nodded, understanding Elder Gong meant to protect her.
Being at someone elseâs place, even if their identities could suppress others, who knows if the opposite party might comply outwardly but oppose in secret, or even backstab.
Facing these local powers, naturally, one must be cautious to avoid pitfalls.
With Elder Gong and Minister Duan spearheading, othersâ gazes wouldnât fall on her; perhaps she could discover things she wasnât yet aware of.
"Rest assured, Iâm clear in the head."
