Chapter 521 'Nuclear Bomb Crisis' - Dinner
Xu Ran understood as soon as he heard that the reason why the kidnapper failed to fight with a gun at the beginning was because when he was leaving, he used his mental power and mind to get out of someone's gun; Otherwise, it would have been a battle with guns.

Xu Ran told Amy: "On my side, I just happened to know that there were people tied to the two of them in the car; As for the rest of the information, it is not clear. ”
"Oh, the police station said that those two don't have anything to say at the moment."
For the rest of the time, Amy stopped talking about work, and the two mainly talked about eating and talking; During this period, Amy once talked about it, and at that time, "the 'gunman who was thrown to death' found at the corner of the red light district has not been identified." ”
In this regard, Xu Ran also said that he could not do anything, because Xu Ran was also completely clueless; However, Xu Ran took the opportunity to tell Amy: "If there is something unclear in the future, as long as the clues are not broken, I can help track it down; When I encounter the kind of person who doesn't speak, I have a way to make him speak; I'm good at that. ”
At the end of dinner that night, it was Xu Ran who took the initiative to pay and settle the bill.
……
On this morning, while Xu Ran transferred 100,000 yuan to the detective agency's company account, he also told Maggie that he planned to rent an apartment with better conditions outside, and asked them to help find it; If several of them are interested, they can also consider moving in together.
And Maggie and the other four daughters are still very enthusiastic about the reality of being able to rent a good house; Since they knew that Xu Ran was not short of money, they also actively began to implement it everywhere.
Due to the nature of the detective agency's business, these days, the four girls are also familiar with the living environment of W City, so when looking for an apartment to rent out, the efficiency is also quite high; In the afternoon of the same day, the four girls fell in love with a villa with a swimming pool.
That is, at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the four girls called anxiously and asked Xu Ran to go over to see the house; However, Xu Ran considered that the dinner with Amy and Amy had already agreed that night, and the time could not be staggered, so he asked the four of them to choose first, and Xu Ran said that he would go to see the house the next morning.
……
The villa in the picture of the four women is located in the junction of W City and the suburbs, and the location of the villa belongs to a villa area, and the security environment is still very good; It is about a 20-minute drive from here to Xu Ran's company's office.
The main building of this villa is a two-storey building, on the second floor of the main building, there are five separate bedrooms, one of which is a large bedroom with a separate bathroom; There is also a bathroom for the other four bedrooms; On the ground floor, in addition to a hall and kitchen, there are 3 separate bedrooms, and on the ground floor there is also a separate bathroom, through the communal service.
In the courtyard of this villa, on the south side of the main building, there is also a 5x10㎡ swimming pool; Because of the brick courtyard wall around it, and the nearby villas are not very close to each other, you don't have to worry about being peeped at by neighbors when you swim in this pool.
When Xu Ran came to see the house with the four daughters the next morning, all the women strongly advocated that Xu Ran rent this villa; After Xu Ran saw it, he was also very satisfied, and immediately made a decision and decided to rent this villa; The rent of the villa is 6,000 yuan per month, and Xu Ran paid the rent until the end of December at one time.
Next, it is the fourth daughter to be anxious and consider the problem of relocation; The four smaller single rooms upstairs were directly divided by the four women; As for the big bedroom, they still knew the general situation very well, and they left it to Xu Ran.
However, Xu Ran decided to let the room be empty first; Xu Ran chose a bedroom for himself on the first floor to live in, and on the second floor, he decided to leave a few ladies as a sufficient space for them to move; He also had other considerations for choosing the first floor, at least when he went in and out of the villa privately, there would be less movement.
Xu Ran asked the four daughters, since they moved here, whether they wanted to have a 'housewarming' and celebrate, and the four daughters all thought that it was completely right; Therefore, after discussion, the five of them decided that the two girls would be specially arranged to stay in the villa in these two days to plan and prepare various matters for the 'burning pot bottom'; That is, the eighteenth day of Xu Ran's coming to this world.
This day, which is also the time zone of W City, is August 17, calendar time, which happens to be a Saturday.
As for the guests who were invited to come and participate in the "Burning Pot", in addition to all the staff of the "Sonorous Detective Agency", Xu Ran is also ready to invite Betty and his wife, Amy, Gina and Natasha, as well as Uncle Lei and "Landmine"; For Uncle Lei and 'Landmine', when invited, the two of them will also be reminded to bring their respective female companions with them.
Maggie and the other four daughters, because they don't have their own personal relationships in W City, so they don't have any friends who need special invitations.
……
For Maggie, since the last time she was wet on the train and Xu Ran, although she lived in the company and was close neighbors to Xu Ran every day, she never had that kind of super intimate relationship with Xu Ran; This is not to say that she hates Xu Ran anymore and doesn't want to have that kind of ultra-intimate relationship with Xu Ran again, but the relationship between the two has not yet been coordinated and natural.
These days, the three female companions often knock on the side to help her, when she needs to use the bathroom and take a shower, the female companions will also force her to go to Xu Ran's room to take a shower, and try to urge her to make progress with Xu Ran; But Maggie felt that Xu Ran did not call herself sufficiently.
Although sometimes, when Maggie entered Xu Ran's room, Maggie had been picked up by her female companions and dressed very coolly, and she herself could feel that this kind of dress made Xu Ran very useful, but Xu Ran did not make a move to take another step beyond Lei Chi.
Maggie is depressed about this, but she can also understand Xu Ran's behavior; In Maggie's view, Xu Ran should attach great importance to the 'progress of men and women in this relationship' and the practical meaning it represents; Since the emotional communication between the two parties has not yet reached the level of intimacy, Xu Ran deliberately took a measure to keep a certain distance.
Maggie admired Xu Ran a lot, and when she found out that Xu Ran was so principled, she appreciated Xu Ran more and more; But appreciation is appreciation, and she can't take the initiative to 'force the wall' on Xu Ran and take Xu Ran down, so now, she can only consider slowly staying up with Xu Ran's temperament.
Although she and Xu Ran had already done that before, she also knew that Xu Ran's mentality at that time was that she was 'saving the rivers and lakes', and she couldn't use this to coerce Xu Ran and make persistent efforts.
What Maggie didn't know was that one of Xu Ran's biggest knots was that he couldn't stay in this world for a long time, so he was most afraid of emotional entanglements with the women in this world; The more he felt and had a soft spot for himself, the more he wanted to avoid it; Xu Ran didn't want to leave endless pain and regret for the woman who cared about him after he left this world; If such a situation occurs, even if he lives in another world, it will make Xu Ran worry about it from time to time.
……
Country X, as a great power in this world, is also a country of immigrants; In the city of W alone, there are several living quarters of other races, in which the main language of circulation is usually the language of the inhabitants and the country of origin; Even many people who live in it only speak the language of their country of origin, but they do not speak the language of country X.
In recent days, Xu Ran has begun to learn the language of another big country in this world, and in W City, there happens to be a resident who speaks this big Chinese language; Xu Ran came here to learn this language on the spot, one is to understand all aspects of the city and this living area, and the other is to lay a good language and cultural foundation when he visits the country in the future.
According to Xu Ran's judgment, the source of the nuclear bomb that exploded in W City should be from X abroad; Therefore, if he has time, Xu Ran is ready to go to the field to see those countries that can produce nuclear weapons.
In this particular ethnic cluster, there are also triad gangs made up of members of these ethnic groups; Xu Ran has not yet found a suitable entry point to contact these gang members; However, Xu Ran also has a rough calculation, once among these gang members, it is found that there are people engaged in smuggling, he must get involved and find out.
……
On August 17, at 12 noon local time, Xu Ran's 'burning pot' party was officially opened in Xu Ran's newly rented villa; In country X, there was originally a 'burning pot' dinner when moving to a new home, so all guests had a strong sense of participation in such activities; The atmosphere was very warm.
Uncle Lei and 'Landmine' both brought their respective wives to come with them, and on the 'Landmine' side, Xu then came to entrust Yingzi to invite them on his behalf.
After Gina and Natasha saw Xu Ran, they both gave Xu Ran a bear hug, complaining that Xu Ran was 'slow to contact and too uninteresting. Although Amy had heard Xu Ran say about the situation of the detective agency before, she still felt pressured when she saw Xu Ran and a few people living in such a place.
Betty still has an impression of Amy, Gina and Natasha, but considering the occasion, Betty didn't take the initiative to mention to them about Fruit Beach, but in terms of interest in talking, Betty likes to talk to these three women and say a few more words; Betty also quietly teased Xu Ran when she was carrying people, and praised him for establishing a connection with the third daughter.
For this 'burning pot bottom' activity, Xu Ran and the others have made full preparations, not only in terms of food, but also in the bedding in each room, which has been perfectly prepared, so that some guests can provide good convenience in case they want to stay overnight;
In the afternoon, many people go to the swimming pool to swim, and everyone knows that they can swim here before they come, so they all have their own swimsuits. Even Betty and her family brought their own swimsuits; In Xu Ran's place, due to the complexity of the crowd, no one proposed to engage in fruit swimming here.
However, there are also people who don't want to swim, like Yingzi and a few others, who proposed to play mahjong, but Xu Ran here just didn't prepare a mahjong machine; So Xu Ran hurried and went shopping by phone, and someone sent a mahjong machine.
The older ones who had come to the meeting had left one after another in the afternoon, and the younger ones had had dinner together before others left.
Amy was also planning to leave for dinner, but Gina and Natasha insisted on staying here for the night; Xu Ran expressed his stance with them: "Anyway, there are many houses here, as long as you like to live here, you can live forever." ”
So, Gina and Natasha couldn't help but say goodbye and pulled Amy to choose a room.
As for Yingzi, although she has known Xu Ran for a long time, she has no deep friendship, and she is still an employee of Xu Ran's company, so she can't be very casual with Xu Ran; Again, Yingzi likes to play mahjong, but here at night, there is not enough table to play mahjong; Therefore, Yingzi was not interested in spending the night here, so she left with other colleagues after dinner.
In the end, the night accommodation staff were: four women plus three women, plus Xu Ran.
In order to arrange the room reasonably, the fourth daughter asked Xu Ran to live back in the big room upstairs; As for the three bedrooms on the first floor, it was left to Amy, Gina, and Natasha.
