Chapter 1184: Chapter 1183: Astonishment

“Huo Beijiang is here! Even my aunt couldn’t get on his good side; I’m definitely not going to make the mistake of overestimating myself.” She had made the same mistake three times and absolutely could not afford a fourth.

“Get ready for the exposure, find me a scapegoat.” She was going to lead the seeds of suspicion onto someone else, now that she had the identity of Jiang Nanfei’s classmate, she absolutely could not lose it.

Otherwise, her value in her aunt’s eyes would be greatly discounted.

“I understand.” Shi Cin nodded seriously.

Leng Ran sighed, frustratedly rubbing her hair, “I didn’t expect to take such a big risk today and still fail.” She had come with full confidence of success, as long as she got in touch with Jiang Yang, she had a way to get him to leave the compound with her.

“You shouldn’t worry anymore.” Shi Cin didn’t take Jiang Nanfei seriously at all, just a little girl from the countryside. How much could she weigh? Over these years, she had dealt with many people, and countless of them ended up groveling at her feet.

In Shi Cin’s eyes, the only reason they hadn’t found a way to deal with Jiang Nanfei was because of Leng Ran’s consideration of their past friendship.

If it weren’t for Leng Ran’s soft-heartedness, Jiang Nanfei wouldn’t know how many times she’d be dead by now.

“Jiang Nanfei can’t hide in the military forever, the moment she comes out, I’ll make sure she obeys obediently,” Shi Cin said confidently. “I’ve already made inquiries; the military training at the military academy is about to end, and she’ll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

“You don’t understand,” Leng Ran said, looking straight ahead with a cold smirk at the corner of her mouth. “The task auntie gave me is to make Jiang Nanfei listen obediently; as long as she does, she can be used to constrain Huo Beijiang.”

That was why she wanted to capture Jiang Yang tonight.

She had learned it all from her aunt.

Since Jiang Nanfei was Huo Beijiang’s Achilles’ heel, then Jiang Yang would be Jiang Nanfei’s weakness–these were all links in a chain.

“It was me who screwed things up,” Leng Ran punched down hard. She had an ominous hunch, feeling that something uncontrollable was going to happen. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have hesitated back then, and I should not have shown weakness and revealed a flaw.”

She could have perfectly played the role of an old classmate, leaving Jiang Nanfei utterly unguarded.

“Don’t blame yourself. If you can’t handle it, then no one in the Leng Family can do better than you,” Shi Cin said confidently. Leng Ran’s performance on Dark Street lately had amazed everyone.

Truly worthy of the Leng Family, personally chosen by Leng Peixi, she was indeed ruthless.

The two made their way to the mid-mountain villa, and when the car entered the villa, they saw Feng Sha standing at the entrance, arms crossed and leaning against a pillar. Seeing Leng Ran come in, he tilted his head and flashed a malicious smile at her.

Leng Ran’s heart skipped, that ominous premonition becoming clearer.

When she walked into the living room and saw the person sitting on the sofa, she was completely stunned.

“Jiang Zhuanzhuan?” Even with Leng Ran’s fortitude, her eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, “What are you doing here?”

Zhuanzhuan was holding a very simple thermos cup, the kind you would expect from a model student. After being questioned by Leng Ran, she still smiled amiably and even stood up very politely to greet them.

PS: Today is National Day, long live our motherland! Did you little cuties go out and play for National Day? Well, I didn’t. I heard the tourist spots are packed with people, so it’s better to stay home snacking, reading novels, and binge-watching dramas–bliss.
