Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered - Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Alarming Movement!

It was almost eight o’clock in the evening.

Qian Dui had gotten off work earlier after handing the finishing matters about Poison Wolf to Hao Dui.

When he received a call from Qin Ran, he had been reading the details of previous cases.

“Factory? Okay.” Qian Dui put down the case in his hand, reached for the coat hanging on one side, and walked outside. “What happened?”

In such industrial injury cases, most factories would choose to conceal the truth.

Especially since Qin Ran was looking for it, then it must not have been reported.

He could only send people to investigate it.

Fortunately, Qian Dui’s team was the best in such matters.

“Something happened, let’s meet at our old place.” Qin Ran hung up the phone.

She squeezed her fists and stood in the corridor to calm herself down before entering Ning Wei’s ward.

Ning Wei had already returned to her ward.

“Ran Ran.” Ning Wei was still in a daze and thought Qin Ran had gone to beg the Lin family, but Qin Ran denied it. “Just now… those experts…”

After receiving medicine and an analgesic pump, Ning Wei looked much better than before.

She didn’t understand how Qin Ran could have brought those experts here without the Lin family.

“Aunt, don’t worry about it.” Qin Ran stood by the bed and looked down at Ning Wei’s leg. “I won’t let you amputate your leg.”

After talking, she didn’t wait for Ning Wei’s response and just took up her jacket and glanced at Mu Nan expressionlessly. “Come out with me.”

Qin Ran went out first.

Mu Nan pursed his lips and stood up. He was about to turn around when Ning Wei grabbed the corners of his clothes. She widened her eyes silently and shook her head, instructing Mu Nan not to tell her anything.

“I know.” Mu Nan nodded coldly.

Qin Ran stopped at the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall. She turned slightly when Mu Nan came out and crossed her arms, her face expressionless.

Mu Nan walked to her silently.

“You withdrew from the competition?” Qin Ran didn’t turn around to look at Mu Nan and only asked lightly.

Mu Nan looked up, pursed his lips, and responded after a long time. “Yeah.”

“Okay.” Qin Ran nodded. “A caregiver will take care of Aunt. You should go home later, you still have class tomorrow. I won’t go in anymore.”

Mu Nan watched as Qin Ran pressed the elevator and went downstairs before heading back to the ward.

“Ran Ran shouldn’t be able to find the location of the factory…” Ning Wei heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Her factory director had social connections, after all. It would be difficult for a high school student like Qin Ran to find him.

But Ning Wei widened her eyes and still couldn’t fall asleep, worrying that Qin Ran wouldn’t give up.

That year, Pan Mingyue’s incident had left a deep impression in her heart.

“Mu Nan, go to the plastics factory tomorrow and find our factory director. Settle this matter privately and say that I agree to the compensation terms.” Ning Wei pursed her lips and looked at Mu Nan.

Mu Nan paused after hearing this and only responded after a long time. “Okay.”

**

At half-past eight in a private restaurant.

Qin Ran didn’t sit down and leaned against a chair. The window was opened and she put a hand on it, her white fingertips sandwiching a stick of snow-white cigarette that blew into the dark night.

She made a call to Gu Xichi.

“I haven’t reached the pier yet.” Gu Xichi stood at the bow and watched the cruise ships head towards the pier at full speed. “I’m on the high seas, it will take a while more.”

The cruise ship didn’t belong to him but was a personal item given to him by a pirate boss whom he had saved before.

There was a sign on it and no ship dared to approach him.

“Okay.” Qin Ran nodded. “I forgot to mention that Jiang Dongye is in Yun Cheng. Be careful when you get off the plane.”

“He’s really lingering around.” Gu Xichi’s face turned dark after hearing this name. “Okay.”

They hung up.

Someone knocked on the door outside.

Qin Ran put down her phone and said, “Come in”.

Qian Dui entered while instructing his subordinate on the plastics factory.

He saw Qin Ran the moment he entered.

She was looking sideways out the window.

She turned her head when she heard him and pressed her cigarette onto the ashtray on the table. Her fingertips seemed cold as she gestured. “Sit.”

She pointed to the chair opposite.

Qian Dui frowned, put down his phone, and waited for Qin Ran to speak first.

The wind at night was strong and the smoke in Qin Ran’s room had dissipated. She reached out to close the window and explained the situation briefly.

“It’s simple.” Qian Dui, who had been extremely worried along the way, finally relaxed. He picked up the menu, ordered a few dishes, and then promised her. “Don’t worry, I will definitely find this factory for you. Who has such big nerves to provoke you.”

If this matter was just an ordinary report and the other party hid it after hearing about the investigation, it might really be impossible to find.

But with Qian Dui, nothing was impossible.

The main thing was they were fast.

In an inappropriate description, the Yun Cheng Criminal Investigation Team was simply too powerful in regard to such a small matter.

Qin Ran had found Qian Dui because of this.

She narrowed her eyes, looked down at the teacup in her hand, and said lightly, “I also want to know who is seeking his own death.”

**

Early the next morning.

The school’s medical office.

As a school doctor, Lu Zhaoying naturally couldn’t leave his job for too long.

He arrived yesterday afternoon.

At this time, he sat on his chair and watched as Cheng Juan entered through the door. He yawned and said vaguely, “I don’t know, I didn’t see Qin Ran. I called her yesterday, but she didn’t pick up. I told Cheng Mu to go to school to understand the situation.”

Cheng Juan only wore a black shirt and his beige windbreaker was on his hand.

He was a little lazy.

He threw the windbreaker on the sofa and looked up to snort in response when he heard Lu Zhaoying.

Before long, Cheng Mu returned.

“I asked Miss Qin’s deskmate and she said Miss Qin took leave.” Cheng Mu carried a lunchbox in and was followed by Hao Dui.

“Master Juan.” Hao Dui greeted respectfully before frowning. “Miss Qin isn’t here? Why are they always so busy?”

Cheng Juan dragged a chair and sat down with his legs casually propped up.

After hearing Hao Dui, he poured a glass of water for himself and turned around. “Who else is busy?”

“Qian Dui. I went to find his technical staff for help regarding a large database, but when I went over in the morning, I was informed that their whole team was out on a mission.” Hao Dui sat down on another side and frowned.

Thus, he had come to find Qin Ran to help him analyze it.

But Cheng Mu had told him Qin Ran was on leave before he even reached the school doctor’s office.

“Qian Dui’s entire team was dispatched?” Lu Zhaoying put down the case that hadn’t been sorted out for several days and looked over in surprise. “Did Poison Wolf move again in the days since we left?”

Qian Dui’s team had great movement and was recognized in the entire criminal investigation community.

Qian Dui’s ability was needless to say, but there were also several people in his team who were extremely famous in the criminal investigation community.

Otherwise, Hao Dui wouldn’t have traveled thousands of miles to find Qian Dui in Yun Cheng.

Hao Dui might not have been able to hire Qian Dui in regards to Poison Wolf if it hadn’t been for Qin Ran playing the middleman.

But now the whole team had been dispatched.

Was something big happening in Yun Cheng?

“No, I’ve already cleaned up their remnants.” Hao Dui shook his head and stared at Cheng Mu’s breakfast before taking a bite out of a bun. “That’s why I find it so strange.”

Qian Dui had always been cold and seldom talked to others except for Qin Ran.

Hao Dui didn’t understand it and couldn’t find out from Qian Dui either, so he just put it to the back of his mind and turned to look at Cheng Mu. “What happened to your goddess’ application for 129? I heard there was a big movement this year.”

It was an era of network connection, but some news only circulated in the inner circle of Beijing.

It was just like how ordinary people didn’t know the existence of 129.

Hao Dui had been busy cleaning up the remnants and hadn’t paid much attention to what was happening in the capital.

“Of course, the person who set the question this year already caused a sensation…” Cheng Mu had always been expressionless, but now his tone was excited.

Cheng Juan leaned on the back of his chair and didn’t eat anything. He just casually took a sip of a bottle of pulp and poked a straw in calmly.

He pondered for a minute with his eyes down.

Suddenly, he looked up and raised an eyebrow. “No.”

The three people looked over at Cheng Juan’s voice.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhaoying asked.

Cheng Juan put down his drink and reached out to knock on the table before glancing at Hao Dui. “Are you sure that nothing major happened in Yun Cheng?”

“Of course. Otherwise, Uncle Jiang would be looking for me.” Hao Dui was certain. “Qian Dui’s action didn’t just shock us. Uncle Jiang asked me in the morning if the matter regarding Poison Wolf had changed.”

Jiang Hui was the head of the government in Yun Cheng and had contributed financially and physically to Poison Wolf last time. Since they were all from Beijing, Hao Dui had also worked under Jiang Hui before.

If something were to happen in Yun Cheng, the first person Jiang Hui would find was definitely Hao Dui.

Not Qian Dui.

Cheng Juan stood up and frowned slightly before picking up his phone to call Qin Ran and heading outside.

This time, Qin Ran picked up very quickly.

Lu Zhaoying didn’t understand him. “Master Juan, aren’t you eating?”

Hao Dui had yet to understand just now, but after seeing Cheng Juan’s actions, realization flashed through his mind. “No wonder!”

Qian Dui’s entire team wasn’t an ordinary criminal investigation team. Normal cases wouldn’t be handed to him, but Hao Dui was clear about one thing—

Qin Ran.

Qian Dui’s attitude towards Qin Ran was very special.

It would make sense if the entire team had been dispatched for Qin Ran.

“I just don’t know what happened…” Hao Dui muttered.

Lu Zhaoying also looked up after hearing Qin Ran. He put down his chopsticks and remembered that Qin Ran had taken leave and hadn’t answered his call in the afternoon.

“Cheng Mu, look after the school doctor’s office. I’ll go find Master Juan.” Lu Zhaoying couldn’t sit still and put down his chopsticks with a frown.

Cheng Mu nodded.

Hao Dui also thought for a while and went out with his mobile phone to call Jiang Hui.

Of course, these people didn’t know that Qian Dui had made such a big movement only for a plastics factory.

First Hospital.

Qin Ran was afraid that Chen Shulan would become suspicious, so she went directly to Ning Wei’s ward without visiting Chen Shulan.

When she went in, Ning Wei was still on a drip.

A group of doctors was doing routine rounds.

Qin Ran stood aside and waited for the doctors to finish their rounds before she approached. She glanced around the room and asked, “Where’s Mu Nan?”

“He stayed with me last night and I told him to go back.” Ning Wei moved a little and watched as the doctors left. “Ran Ran, those doctors…”

“Little aunt, don’t lie to me.” Qin Ran pursed her lips and took two steps forward. “Is Mu Nan really at home?”

“He’s in school if he’s not at home.” Ning Wei smiled.

Qin Ran’s phone rang and she took it out to look at it to see that it was Qian Dui. She glanced at Ning Wei and didn’t avoid it this time. “Come over.”

She told him Ning Wei’s ward number.

Ning Wei watched on uneasily.

In less than five minutes, Qian Dui carried a pile of documents inside.

Last night, he had heard Qin Ran explain Ning Wei’s condition, so he wasn’t surprised when he greeted Ning Wei. He saw that Qin Ran wasn’t avoiding it, so he directly handed the portfolio to her. “Miss Qin, this is information on Hehai Plastics Factory.”

Bam—

A string in Ning Wei’s heart suddenly broke.

She didn’t have time to think about how Qin Ran had managed to find out about Hehai Plastics Factory so quickly. She sat up violently and hurriedly said in a high-pitched voice, “Ran Ran, listen to me, don’t go! My director wanted a piece of my recipe, but I wasn’t willing to give it to him. The machine malfunctioned and trapped my leg inside, but he only gave me a warning. My factory director has a lot of connections—he’s the kind of person who can silently cover a person’s death due to a machine malfunction as a work injury!”

“My leg was already useless, it’s fine if it’s amputated. This man is so cruel, so he definitely won’t leave any evidence. Don’t act impulsively because of me, it’s not worth it!”

Qin Ran nodded after hearing this. She didn’t expect there to be such ruthless people in Yun Cheng who deliberately made someone handicapped just as a warning.

She licked her lips and turned to Qian Dui. “Did you hear that?”
