Chapter Seventy-Two: Everything Is As You Expect
The sudden ringing of the phone made everyone in the living room have an ominous premonition.
Qin Ran waved his hand to Eckerd, who was about to answer the phone, and walked towards the phone in person.
"Hey."
"Your Excellency 2567, I'm glad that the first thing I heard was your voice."
"It saved me from unnecessary trouble, and besides, I didn't waste time."
"You must have guessed what I was trying to do."
"So ......"
"Would you like to save Officer Mei Huasheng?"
Qin Ran picked up the phone, and a voice that had been changed in voice came from the earpiece, and he couldn't tell his age, or even distinguish between men and women.
Yes, it is sharp and harsh.
Qin Ran didn't ask who you are, but quietly gestured to Gobauer.
The latter nodded slightly and disappeared into the living room.
The other party was able to grasp Lin An's whereabouts so accurately, and after the other party entered the villa, he pinched the phone and made a call here, Qin Ran didn't believe that the other party was an unpredictable prophet.
Tracking, surveillance.
There must be one or the other.
Or, a two-pronged approach.
In fact, it was just as Qin Ran guessed.
Gobauer spotted the stalker almost the next second he left the room.
After all, the other party was just standing in the pouring rain in a raincoat.
The moment he saw Gobauer, the stalker lifted the corner of his raincoat and saw what was hidden underneath, Gobauer, who was about to attack, immediately stopped and pressed the alarm he carried with him.
There is no siren sound.
But the vibrations reached every bodyguard and Eckerd and the makeup artist's phone.
Along with the vibration, there is also a text prompt -
Bomb!
Seeing this prompt, Eckerd immediately raised his mobile phone to Qin Ran and signaled.
Qin Ran's eyes narrowed, and the voice in his ear spoke again.
"It looks like I gave 2567 you a gift, and you received it."
"Now, let this messenger of mine into the room."
"After all, the rain in Rain City is cold and biting."
"Don't doubt it, the bomb I put on him is enough to raze the villa you are in, including you."
"Or do you think you can hide in that basement of yours?"
"I'm looking forward to your choice."
The voice was deliberate, as if it was giving Qin Ran time to think.
But Qin Ran didn't hesitate at all, and directly signaled to one of Gobauer's subordinates.
He believed that the other party would not be joking.
Or to be more precise, there is no need for the other party to joke at all.
The explosives on the opponent's envoy must be able to raze the surroundings to the ground.
If he could, Qin Ran really wanted to stay away from here as soon as possible, but in the entire villa, except for him who was a little sure of escaping, the rest of the people would definitely die.
And whether it is Eckerd or Lin An, once he dies, it will cause him huge trouble.
Eckerd had already become an integral part of his plan.
Lin An?
The identity of the other party is the biggest trouble.
He didn't have any more time to do it all over again.
Gobor slowly retreated into the living room of the villa, and the messenger in a black raincoat walked in step by step.
Droplets of water dripped down the raincoat and fell to the ground in the doorway.
When the other party took off his hood, a pale middle-aged face was imprinted into Qin Ran's sight, and the other party's lips trembled with fear.
I wanted to open my mouth to speak, but immediately thought of something and closed my mouth firmly.
Without Qin Ran's reminder, Lin An had already begun to investigate the identity of the person in front of him.
"A wise choice."
"See my messenger?"
"So let's continue with the previous topic - would you like to save Officer Mei Huasheng?"
The voice in the earpiece continued, but Qin Ran's gaze was on the 'messenger'.
The other party took out a small video camera from inside the raincoat.
It's not DV, it's smaller, it's more delicate.
"Oh."
"Are you paying attention to my messenger?"
"What he has in his hand is also a gift for you."
"I know you're used to being in front of the camera, so I've provided you with the environment."
"Of course!"
"The audience is the same as ever."
The owner of the voice in the earpiece spoke immediately the next moment Qin Ran looked at the 'messenger'.
"Digressions are always annoying."
"I'm asking Your Excellency 2567 once, would you like to save Officer Mei Huasheng?"
"Yes."
"She's not bad, she's an acquaintance of mine."
Faced with the other party's question again, Qin Ran answered almost without hesitation, his face was calm, his eyes were flat, as if what he said was the truth.
Lin An, who was investigating the identity of the 'messenger' on the side, looked up in amazement.
He clearly remembered that Qin Ran had categorically refused before.
After a period of contact and investigation, Lin An already knew that Qin Ran was not a person who would compromise because he was threatened by others.
This is true even when it is life-threatening.
The popularity of the 'psychic' column has attracted a lot of people who love it, but there are also people who hate it, and some of them are extreme, and they have issued death threats more than once.
And as the person in charge of the police, he also persuaded Qin Ran to 'rest' for a day or two more than once, giving them enough time to catch those guys.
Let them come. ’
This is Qin Ran's answer.
Lin An still remembers Qin Ran's eyes and expressions similar to those now when he said this.
Could it be that Mei Huasheng is different?
Such a thought, the moment it rose from his mind, Lin An shook his head.
No kidding!
Mei Huasheng is good-looking, and she can accept it in a colleague relationship, but that kind of character, in a friend or a closer lover relationship?
Ten men ten nasty.
The leg was broken, and he had to crawl to escape.
With Qin Ran's current fame, there is definitely a better choice than Mei Huasheng if you want to choose.
Not to mention......
Thinking of some rumors, Lin An couldn't help but glance at the makeup artist, and the incomprehension in his heart became deeper and deeper.
And the miniature camera in the hands of the 'messenger'?
Lin An saw it.
But Lin An didn't think about it at all.
The same is true for others.
They all looked at Qin Ran with a little puzzlement, wondering why Qin Ran had such a choice.
Qin Ran's performance was too real.
He lied to everyone.
He manifests everything he is to be a 'psychic', but not his true purpose.
Although the latter is his real goal, everyone is attracted to the former, and the most convincing thing is that he has never participated in any programs or activities other than 'psychic'.
Naturally, Qin Ran did this intentionally.
Not only because he does not want to be grasped for the true purpose, but also because ...... The 'revenue' of those programs and activities is too small.
Qin Ran knows very well how strong the attraction of 'mystery' is, and sacrificing the 'personality' he set for himself for the sake of one or two exposures is more than worth the loss, and drinking water quenches his thirst.
Bang bang bang.
There was applause from the earpiece.
"I knew I was right."
The other party said in a pun.
"Now, please give my 'messenger' a car, and he will carry you to a place."
"Remember, you can only come alone."
"If I find someone else, I'll detonate the bomb right away."
"And ......"
