Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered - Chapter 465
Chapter 465: Sister Ran: Matthew, Let’s Talk
Qin Ran didn’t pay much attention to Cheng Wenru after responding.
She was thinking about what would happen next.
Once she entered the cafe, Qin Ran knew that Giant Crocodile’s arrival was disclosed by Cheng Juan.
He had set up a trap for Matthew.
Matthew didn’t have control over the airport parking grounds and Giant Crocodile was careful. Hence, it could only be Cheng Juan who guessed that she was meeting him.
She hadn’t come clean to Cheng Juan about Giant Crocodile and Matthew’s grudge.
There were many conflicts of interest.
Giant Crocodile and Cheng Tu did not see eye-to-eye, so Cheng Juan would’ve supported Cheng Tu.
She couldn’t influence Continent M’s forces on her own, and things would get even more complicated. Cheng Juan would give in because of her, but what about his men? What about Matthew’s and Giant Crocodile’s men?
As a leader and boss, how could they give in because of her? It was trivial and disloyal.
Qin Ran didn’t feel that she was as important.
She didn’t want Cheng Juan to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Qin Ran leaned back and frowned.
Fortunately, she fled from Continent M…
But, she left some traces. Gu Xichi flushed her number, and she erased her records. However, they could be found if someone wanted to.
How could she be more sincere?
Qin Ran was thinking about how to confess to Cheng Juan about Giant Crocodile and Matthew.
Cheng Wenru couldn’t calm down.
She turned to look at Qin Ran. Her face was frozen.
She sensed that something was amiss about the person who took them away. Qin Ran’s first reply had calmed her down, but her second reply made her extremely anxious.
“Ran Ran.” Cheng Wenru looked at Qin Ran with a blank expression. “What did you say just now?”
Qin Ran was still thinking about how to confess. She repeated, “Sister, it’s Matthew.”
Her voice was calm.
??
How can you be so calm?
Cheng Wenru took a deep breath. She felt that Qin Ran might not know Matthew’s status in Continent M as she was engrossed in research. “Ran Ran, listen to me. Did you contact Cheng Huo and Cheng Mu?”
She took out her phone while she was speaking.
They did not take away their phones.
“I contacted them a long time ago. Don’t worry.” Qin Ran could sense Cheng Wenru’s fear and turned her head to comfort her.
They were nearing Matthew’s building.
As they talked, they arrived at the building.
Qin Ran was too casual, and Cheng Wenru didn’t look dangerous. As they were females and did not have any weapons, they were brought to an interrogation room with an iron door and single-sided glass.
The iron door had a magnetic card lock.
They left after sending them in.
The interrogation room had two chairs. Qin Ran kicked out a chair and said, “Sister Cheng, you can take a seat first.”
Cheng Wenru was no longer anxious as she realized why Qin Ran was so calm. They didn’t break any law in Continent M.
Matthew was from the Interpol and thus couldn’t do as he pleased. Calm, she said, “I’m not tired, you can take a seat instead. I’ll talk to anyone that comes later.”
Seeing that Cheng Wenru had no intention to sit, she sat down and took out her phone.
There was no signal in the interrogation room, so Qin Ran started gaming for a while.
Cheng Wenru stayed strong and looked at Qin Ran playing her game.
Their drive couldn’t easily be wavered now.
On the other side of the single-sided glass.
The group of people stared at Qin Ran playing her game leisurely. They took off their headsets and asked, “Is Chief back?”
At first, they suspected that these two were ordinary people.
They thought that they were inexplicably locked here without any reason. However, seeing how idle they were, it seemed they weren’t simple.
Ordinary people wouldn’t act like this.
Their headsets sounded. He immediately picked it up and replied, “Yes.” He then stood up and said, “Chief is back!”
Two men rushed outside and met Matthew at the lift. “Boss, these two women must know about Giant Crocodile’s whereabouts.”
Matthew was furious. He narrowed his eyes and dialed a number. “No, I cannot let them go immediately. She knows about Giant Crocodile.”
It was Gu Xichi he was talking to. He was in the laboratory holding onto a report. Hearing this, he slammed the report on the table. “Did you forget how I rescued you from the pile of dead bodies..”
Matthew’s tone remained still. “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her. But before I find Giant Crocodile, I won’t release any of them. This is a matter of principle.”
Matthew hung up the call.
He owed his life to Gu Xichi. However, he couldn’t release them just because of him.
In a laboratory in Beijing.
Gu Xichi stared at his phone with a dazed expression. Jiang Dongye was observing a petri dish. He turned his head to look at him. “Are you okay?”
“No.” Gu Xichi shook his head. “What’s Xiao Ran’s relationship with Giant Crocodile?”
He lowered his head and looked for Cheng Juan’s number.
He trusted that Matthew wouldn’t mess with Qin Ran.
He had to inform Cheng Juan.
Gu Xichi had seen Matthew’s wanted list. Cheng Juan was one of them.
Jiang Dongye looked at him. Frowning, he said, “No wonder Beijing is so peaceful. We haven’t received any news.”
Qin Ran and Cheng Juan must have left Beijing.
**
In Continent M, Matthew’s building.
Matthew swiped his card and entered the room.
His gaze alternated between Qin Ran and Cheng Wenru.
His attention was fixed on Qin Ran for a longer time.
Matthew had a strong aura, so Cheng Wenru’s calm mind was slightly disrupted.
Matthew realized that she was nervous. He pointed to Qin Ran and said, “Take her out first.”
This meant that he wanted to speak to Cheng Wenru alone.
Qin Ran finished her game and placed her phone on the table. She casually leaned back on the chair and met his gaze. “Wait, let’s talk first.”
