Chapter 73 - Reinforcements

“How long has it been since you last contacted me ever since you asked me to help you deal with your crippled fiancé, Lu Xi?” Tang Yan took it as an old grudge.

“It’s my fault. I was cold-blooded and heartless.” After all, she had something to ask of him. The more respectful she was, the better.

“Come on, I know you. You don’t visit unless you need something. Tell me, what do you want me to do this time?”

Qin Ran was worried about how to change the topic. When she saw Tang Yan speak, she directly explained her problem to him.

After hearing Qin Ran’s story, Tang Yan hurriedly said, “Why are you joining in the fun of the college entrance examination? Don’t you know your own intelligence?”

“Why do I feel like you’re scolding me? Also, didn’t I ask you to help suppress public opinion? Why are you talking about my college entrance examination?” Qin Ran and Tang Yan were a pair of quarrelsome enemies.

“Are you asking me for help?” Tang Yan pretended to be angry.

“Just say it. Are you going to help or not?” She dared to be so stubborn because she knew that Tang Yan would definitely help her.

“I will!”

As expected, Tang Yan still agreed.

With the National Security Bureau taking action, Qin Ran naturally didn’t have to worry.

This job could be said to have brought her more fear than joy. Day after day of high-intensity training and dangerous missions, she thought that she would no longer have any contact with any colleagues after she retired from the Security Bureau. However, it was only now that she understood that the things she tried hard to hide were all she had in her life. Those people and those feelings would not dissipate just like that.

As an ordinary girl, she would definitely benefit greatly if she could enter a top university to further her studies at the age of twenty, and it was very likely to change her life.

But Qin Ran was never an ordinary girl.

A long time ago, when she was still in primary school, she saw her parents fiddling with various reagents in the side room every night. She couldn’t help but be curious and clamored that she had to study hard in the future and do all kinds of powerful experiments like her parents.

However, she didn’t expect her mother, who had always been gentle and tolerant, to change her expression drastically at that moment. She held her hand tightly and said sternly, “We don’t want you to be too outstanding. I only hope that you can be ordinary and live a peaceful and healthy life.”

When she was young, Qin Ran didn’t understand why her parents were different from others. The doubts had been suppressed in her heart for many years. Nearly a year ago, her parents died from a sudden illness. Qin Ran was busy grieving. Now that she thought about it, she felt that something was amiss.

Then, she turned around to look at her childhood.

It was said that children were the expectations of their parents. Perhaps those words were the strongest wish of her parents!

Her parents were no longer around, but Qin Ran was willing to follow their wishes and live a simple life.

Qin Ran didn’t look at the news on the Internet for the entire day. She believed that with the National Security Bureau taking action, there wouldn’t be any mistakes. She only logged into her account at the right time and posted a status, indicating that she was very grateful to the enthusiastic netizens and even more so to the famous lawyers and major companies for their help. However, she was living very happily and contentedly now. It wasn’t as miserable as in the video. She had long forgiven Zhang Lan’s actions.

As expected, the popularity gradually decreased at night.

For some reason, Qin Ran missed her parents very much tonight.

No one could stop the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, her parents had been gone for nearly a year. She wondered if they were doing well in the heavens and if they were living a simple life.

She missed them so much. Qin Ran felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes.

As he was about to get off work, Mo Chi received a document delivery. It was actually Qin Ran’s admission notice.

Logically speaking, it was not time to mail the notice to the students yet. It was probably because when this ordinary university saw the arrival of the top scholar of the college entrance examination, they mailed the notice in advance to keep this talent.

After receiving the package, Mo Chi immediately asked the driver to drive home. Although he knew that the lass would definitely be accepted, he was still happy for her.

Mo Chi hid the notice behind him and quietly pushed open Qin Ran’s door, wanting to give her a surprise.

“Ranran!”

“Yes?”

Hearing Qin Ran’s response, Mo Chi’s heart subconsciously tightened. Why was there a sobbing tone in her voice?
