It's night.

"Ran'er, I didn't accompany you on this trip, you must be careful in everything!"

"Hmm. I'll take care of myself. Besides, don't you still have my little uncle by your side? Although he is indeed not very reliable, but you should not underestimate my ability—— if necessary, I can completely shift the enemy's attention to him, let him deal with it first, and I will take the opportunity to slip away first! Hehe......" As he spoke, Gao Ran unconsciously showed a sly and wicked face.

When Gao Xi saw it, he could only shake his head helplessly, "Okay! Don't worry, when you are away, I will take care of the affairs of the 'Zhongli Society' for you."

"The vendors you hired were happy to work with us. They all felt that the terms we offered and the protection we could give them were far better than those of other dependent forces, so they all signed a ten-year contract with us, in black and white, in duplicate, and we each kept one copy;

"They also said that in ten years, if Ran'er changes your mind and does not want to live in seclusion, they will be very willing to sign a lifelong cooperation contract with you! They all feel that you are more reliable than the Heavenly Pavilion Masters—— not to mention those families and royal families...... It is said that I will never find a more suitable partner than you in this life!"

"Heh! Sure enough, I know the current affairs! I have a vision!" Gao Ran was not modest, and accepted Gao Xi's compliment to her very calmly. Then he glanced at Gao Xi again and motioned for him to continue.

Gao Xi understood, and continued: "In this way, the financial resources that support the normal operation of the 'Zhongli Club' can be regarded as solved. And on the killer's side, I have also collected a lot of good seedlings. Don't worry, I'll train them all to be first-class killers who are no less than Heavenly Pavilion's! And I'll make them loyal to you to the death!, so that you can get out safely in the future......"

"Hmm. Although it is inevitable that he will still rely on the power and resources of Tiange in the first year, I don't think Qiu Yueze will mind...... But remember, no matter what, we must not do anything that really harms the interests of the Heavenly Pavilion! Let alone deliberately become an enemy of it! Otherwise, Qiu Yueze will not let us continue to do whatever we want......

"Well, you can rest assured, I will never do anything to be sorry for the pavilion master!"

"Hmm. Although Gao Ran knew that what she and Gao Xi really cared about might not be the same thing, at least they were going to do the same thing in the end, so they didn't care deeply about whether their respective motives were the same. just vaguely and casually responded, even if it was a perfunctory past.

The two walked while talking, and before they knew it, they had walked to the door of Gao Ran's room.

"Then you should rest early. ”

"Hmm. ”

The two of them said "good night" to each other. And just as they were about to enter their respective rooms, suddenly a flying arrow "whoosh" quickly slashed through Gao Ran's ear and pierced directly into the door panel in front of her!

"Ran'er, are you okay!" The next moment, Gao Xi immediately returned to Gao Ran's side, and nervously turned her over to take a closer look, for fear that the sudden arrow just now really hit her!

"I'm fine. Gao Ran replied calmly. But I thought to myself: It's finally time to wait!

But Gao Xi didn't listen to Gao Ran's answer at all, but finally breathed a sigh of relief after he personally checked and confirmed that she was indeed fine. Then a sharp light shot at the back hill that was still faintly visible outside the backyard wall.

When Gao Ran saw him like this, he guessed his intentions, so he immediately stretched out his hand to grab him and stop him, saying, "Xi, don't go! The person who came has no ill will towards me, he just sent me a message on behalf of his master." ”

Gao Xi was stopped by Gao Ran, and unconsciously paused for a moment, and then reacted: the reason why she deliberately moved here and transformed this place - such a big effort turned out to be to wait for the arrow just now!

After remembering this again, Gao Xi dispelled the idea of chasing the assassin just now.

"Then take a look, what does the note tied to the arrow say?"

"Hmm. ”

Gao Ran untied the note on the arrow in response, and Gao Xi then pulled out the entire arrow. Taking advantage of Gao Ran's time to read the note, he also carefully checked a few details of this arrow by the way, wanting to see where this arrow came from?

"It was an 'old friend' who invited me to the back mountain for a while. ”

"Old friend?"

"Hmm. It's Uncle Xiao's 'old friend'. To be precise, he wanted to win over Uncle Xiao, but he never succeeded, so he had to monitor his every move at all times, waiting to find his weakness and force him to submit to a certain force.

"I have been aware of those eyeliners since the first time I met Uncle Xiao! I think that they have already reached a kind of 'tacit understanding' with Uncle Xiao: Uncle Xiao is willing to let them follow, and they are willing to let anyone who has the ability to make further contact with Uncle Xiao aware of their existence. - Like me!"

"Ran'er, what do you mean ......?"

"That's right! It seems that they have decided that I am the weakness of the little uncle! Heh, it's a pity, but they don't know that it's just that the little uncle is in a good mood and is willing to 'help' me...... However, I don't think they should be so stupid that they will really be fooled by me for too long, otherwise, Uncle Xiao will not tolerate them to this day!

After saying that, Gao Ran immediately explained to Gao Xi: "I'll go to Houshan first, and you will follow." With your efforts, you can definitely avoid those eyeliners! However, for the sake of caution, you'd better stay away! Just because those eyeliners can't be detected doesn't mean that their masters won't be able to detect them either!"

"Well, be careful!"

"Hmm. ”

After responding, Gao Ran immediately turned around and walked to the back door, and after going out through the back door, he went straight to the back mountain. Along the way, swaggering, stop-and-go, as if it was real, just out for a casual walk, admiring the moon by the way.

When she walked slowly to the top of the mountain, she casually leaned against a tree and sat directly on the ground, looking boredly at the bright moon in the sky, while waiting for the appearance of the "old friend".

"Ran'er is so interested!" After a while, the man appeared!

Gao Ran felt a little proud in his heart. Come to think of it, he was so impatient that she deliberately stopped all the way! Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared so soon!

"Ran'er?" It's just that Gao Ran was really a little surprised by this title! She didn't know that the person she was waiting for was actually acquainted with her!

However, before that person really approached her and allowed her to see his appearance through the moonlight, Gao Ran couldn't figure out who this person was.

"What's the matter, as soon as Qingli Town is farewell, you don't remember me?"

"I really don't remember!" - for a moment, Gao Ran really wanted to blurt out like this—— even if at this moment, she had completely seen the face of the person who came, but she still couldn't remember who he was?

However, she was sure that the person who came had no ill will towards her, on the contrary, she vaguely felt that he seemed to be more interested in her than he wanted to use her to force the little uncle to comply! Why?

"I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory, I often forget things...... I don't know who your Excellency is? If you met in Qingli Town...... Could it be that Your Excellency also has dealings with the Fu family?"

When tempted like this, Gao Ran was still a little vigilant and deliberately concealed her private dealings with the An family, only thinking that what she could bring to the table openly was only known to everyone about the marriage between their Gao family and the Fu family. Therefore, it is reasonable to mention the Fu family at this time.

"Heh, Ran'er is really cautious, and she easily doesn't show her 'true face'......"

As soon as Gao Ran heard this, her vigilance immediately became even worse! How could she not hear the other party's intentions: if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to test her in turn, it was that he had already known about the deals she had made with the An family in Qingli Town!

"Oh, I don't know what Ran'er is like in your eyes? Since you say that I don't show my 'true face'...... Then I'd like to hear your Excellency's insights, and I'm curious about my 'true colors'!"
