Chapter 103 - 103 I Should Be Responsible For You

103 I Should Be Responsible For You

“I also remember being naked at the time when we were leaning against each other,” Shi Ran argued.

“You’re right.” Chu Jinchen tapped his chin.

Shi Ran nodded.

She thought to herself that this strange topic was finally coming to an end.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jinchen said something shocking again, “Then I should be responsible for you.”

“No need for that.” Shi Ran refused decisively, without hesitation.

“But…” Chu Jinchen frowned in confusion. “Our family has a rule that we have to marry a woman once we’ve seen her naked.”

Shi Ran: ???

‘Did she look like a fool?’

How could Chu Jinchen say such a ridiculous reason without batting an eyelid?

“When were the rules made?” Shi Ran asked.

“Just now.”

Shi Ran was speechless.

Seeing that she was speechless, Chu Jinchen chuckled softly. “I don’t have to take responsibility, but at least don’t treat me like a stranger. We’re friends, right?”

“Sure,” Shi Ran said after a moment.

Compared to marrying him, being friends was obviously much better.

Chu Jinchen smiled. “I left three bodyguards to protect you in secret. They are all trained mercenaries. You can order them around if you need anything.”

“Can I refuse?”

“This is a gift I carefully prepared as a friend. I’ll be very sad if you don’t accept it,” Chu Jinchen said as if it was true.

In the end, Shi Ran had no choice but to accept it.

Somehow she felt that she had been tricked.

After dinner, Chu Jinchen sent Shi Ran to her apartment.

He watched as the figure gradually disappeared into the night before looking away.

His phone rang.

It was Wen Yu.

“Jinchen, I want to talk to you.”

Chu Jinchen’s eyes darkened and the smile on his lips faded.

“San Yu, to the Night Scenery.”

The black Maybach sped away.

… .

Shi Ran had reached her home.

The instant she opened the door, she became alert.

Slowing down her steps, she walked silently into the room.

With the moonlight from the window, she realized her apartment had been turned upside down.

The pillows on the sofa and the ornaments on the storage cabinet were casually thrown to the ground.

Shards of the vase in the corner fell to the floor and the flowers lay scattered everywhere.

She looked around to make sure the room was empty, then turned on the light.

The apartment looked like it had been burglarized. Things were thrown everywhere, and cabinets were opened.

She headed straight for the study.

The computer was on.

His fingers worked briefly.

Her gaze sharpened.

Someone had gone through all the files on her computer, even the recycling bin.

It was Wen Gongliang’s men!

“Da da—”

The sound of hurried footsteps outside the door grew fainter.

Without hesitation, Shi Ran rushed out, not forgetting to close the door before she left.

That man took the stairs so she went straight down after him.

The two of them were so far apart that she could only vaguely make out a man in black.

Shi Ran’s face darkened.

She grabbed the stair rail and used it to leap.

The distance shortened.

The man ran fast, but she was even faster.

He fled and she chased.

...

After running out of the apartment, Shi Ran finally saw the man’s back clearly.

He was short and thin, but extremely fast with his movements.

The man turned around to see if Shi Ran had caught up with him, only to realize that Shi Ran was less than five meters behind him.

“Shit!” he spat, and ran faster.

Was this woman normal? How could she be so fast??

No, they weren’t there yet. There were surveillance cameras everywhere so he shouldn’t be caught.

A second later, however, the back of his collar was grabbed.

The man froze and turned around mechanically. He realized that Shi Ran was less than a meter behind him.

Not good, he thought.

He couldn’t care less.

“Come out now!” the man shouted.

...

At this moment, a group of men poured out of the alley in front of them. They were tall and burly in black vests and camouflage pants.

They were running towards Shi Ran in a mighty manner.

The muscles and tattoos on their arms and their ferocious appearance frightened the surrounding crowd into screaming and fleeing.

In just a few seconds, with Shi Ran in the center, there was no one else around. Almost everyone had taken refuge in a nearby supermarket.

And the group had already got Shi Ran surrounded.

“Shit!”

The mercenary in charge of protecting Shi Ran immediately rushed forward.

They stood behind Shi Ran with imposing auras.

There were about ten people standing opposite him, and there were only four people on her side, but their auras were not weak at all.

“Miss Shi, let us protect you,” the mercenary behind Shi Ran said.

“No need. You guys stay behind. I’ll do it myself.” The tip of Shi Ran’s tongue touched the corner of her mouth, and her smile gradually became wider.

It had been a long time since she had fought to her heart’s content after coming to this world.

However, the mercenaries looked at each other.

“Miss Shi…”

“I can handle it. When you guys see that I can no longer fight, you can take action then.”

The three mercenaries looked conflicted and tried to persuade her otherwise.

“Get over there,” Shi Ran said to them, pointing to a safe corner.

The instructions they received were primarily those of their employers.

Therefore, even if they were unwilling, they could only silently walk to the position that Shi Ran had mentioned.

“Are we really going to let her fight alone?” Night Six asked, looking at his other two partners.

“It’s an order from our employer. We have no choice but to follow it,” Night Four said grimly.

“Is she serious? The group of people opposite us are obviously trained mercenaries. She actually won’t let us fight?” Night Six was speechless.

Night Five said calmly, “Before I came, I read my employer’s information. It’s said that she once fought a dozen hooligans alone and won.”

The corners of Night Six’s mouth twitched. “She doesn’t think she can beat up gangsters and even mercenaries, does she?”

“This group of people doesn’t even care about the surveillance cameras here. They clearly came prepared.” Night Four frowned.

“I’m speechless. If anything happens to this woman, the three of us will be the ones to take the blame.” Night Six curled his lips.

He rolled his eyes at Shi Ran, who was now surrounded. “I know you can’t be disrespectful to your employer, but I’d really like to say this woman is out of her mind.”

“Just the hooligans she had beat up in the video, I could beat them down alone. But for this group of people, even the three of us might not be able to win them. Yet she wants to do it herself!”

Night Six got angrier and angrier. In the end, he simply leaned against the wall. “After tonight, I want to apply for a transfer. I don’t want to protect idiots like this.”

Neither Night Four nor Night Five said anything, but they were obviously thinking the same thing as Night Six.

Meanwhile, the crowd hiding in the nearby supermarket was carefully watching the scene through clear glass windows.

“Who did that little girl offend? It looks like they’re here for revenge!”

“They look so fierce. It’s scary.”

“It looks like an emotional dispute to me. This woman doesn’t seem to be behaving herself. Maybe she cheated on some big shot.”

“The odds are against her.”

The crowd was abuzz.

Someone had already quietly called the police.

Others picked up their phones and turned on the video function, trying to capture the scene.

They were not far from Shi Ran’s side, so the shot was very clear.

The camera focused on Shi Ran’s face and zoomed in a little.

When they saw the exquisite face on the screen, someone gasped and looked shocked.

“Isn’t… isn’t that Shi Ran?!”
