Gu Ran himself remained completely hidden within it.
The mission was completed well, and there were no large-scale casualties, only some minor injuries.
Chu Zihang is in good health, unlike the serious injuries he suffered before.
At this moment, the burly men from the school's sanitation department received orders to retreat. However, on their way back, they discovered that their FedEx truck had crashed into the load-bearing wall of the Runde Building.
The car is no longer usable.
In the darkness, there was a slender figure. She seemed somewhat annoyed, wondering who had disrupted her plans.
She just wanted to see what the little boy looked like now.
……
Two blocks away from Runde Building, Gu Ran and Chu Zihang met.
He gave the document to Chu Zihang and asked him to handle it.
Following Professor Schneider's instructions, Chu Zihang prepared to send the items back to Kassel College.
"The fog just now was an illusion created by humans; it should belong to some kind of spiritual power." Gu Ran also noticed the abnormal water vapor just now.
He continued to ask Chu Zihang, "Did you see some kind of hallucination?"
Chu Zihang nodded slightly.
That rusty Maybach wasn't real; it was a FedEx truck.
He vaguely sensed that someone was orchestrating all of this.
If he had just suffered a blood loss, things might have taken an unpredictable turn.
"It seems... someone is plotting against me..." Chu Zihang stated his hypothesis.
Gu Ran was surprised that he had actually discovered the problem.
Even if she schemed against you, it was just because she was playing around. Just forgive that arrogant little dragon girl.
He patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Forget it, there's no use thinking about it. Mission accomplished, let's go home. See you at the airport later."
"Are you going back to school today too?" Chu Zihang asked.
"I'm not going back to school, I'm just going to Chicago for vacation." Gu Ran smiled and then asked, "By the way, did you like my birthday present?"
"Lu Mingfei should really like it," Chu Zihang thought to himself. At this moment, Lu Mingfei should be enjoying having dinner with Chen Wenwen.
He must have had a great birthday today, after all, he showed off a bit in front of the girl he used to like.
“But the result will definitely not be good,” Gu Ran said, shaking his head.
Chapter 255 Lu Mingfei's Restless Moment
"Believe it or not, after Chen Wenwen finishes dinner with Lu Mingfei tonight, she'll go to Zhao Menghua's house to explain to him, even though it's raining outside," Gu Ran said to Chu Zihang.
Outside, the rain was pouring down. Summer rain always comes down suddenly, without any mercy.
Chu Zihang was silent for a while, and finally said, "As long as Lu Mingfei is happy."
“That’s true.” Gu Ran stretched and looked outside. A red Maserati slowly stopped in front of him.
The car window rolled down, and Su Xiaoqiang greeted the two people inside.
"I'm leaving now, senior. See you at the airport later." Gu Ran opened the passenger door, got in the car, and drove away.
Chu Zihang also got into his Porsche, ready to go home to get his luggage.
In the international airport departure hall, Gu Ran pushed two huge suitcases, both of which belonged to Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang, meanwhile, linked arms with him, in high spirits.
She was so excited about her first trip with Gu Ran that she couldn't sleep for several days, as excited as a primary school student going on a school field trip the next day.
"Do we call this our honeymoon?" Su Xiaoqiang asked happily.
"Every day is Valentine's Day with you, so it doesn't matter if it's a honeymoon or not." Gu Ran was good at coaxing his girlfriend; one sentence was enough to make her happy for half a day.
The two searched around and soon reunited with Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei.
Chu Zihang remained expressionless, resting with his eyes closed.
"What are you doing..." Lu Mingfei still didn't know why Gu Ran had brought Su Xiaoqiang with her.
"Oh, we're going on our honeymoon," Gu Ran said with a smile, holding Su Xiaoqiang's hand.
Lu Mingfei then remembered that Su Xiaoqiang and Gu Ran were engaged. He grumbled, "Don't go on a honeymoon right after getting engaged? Leave some room for single people!"
In fact, Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang's engagement banquet has not been held yet. Announcing the engagement to the public was just Su Xiaoqiang's casual remark, specifically to undermine Zhao Menghua.
The Su family is a prominent family in the area, so why would they be so frugal if they were really getting engaged?
Moreover, Su's father was old-fashioned and said that the engagement should also be held on an auspicious date. In the end, the feng shui master picked a date that would be during the Chinese New Year next year.
"Happy birthday!" Gu Ran looked at Lu Mingfei. "I haven't officially told you yet."
"Thank you." Lu Mingfei was genuinely happy; he had received many birthday wishes today.
Even the gang leader, Caesar, sent him a happy birthday message.
"Thank you for booking the whole place. Actually, it didn't have to be so extravagant. It must have cost a lot of money..." Lu Mingfei said somewhat embarrassedly.
“It didn’t cost me any money,” Gu Ran laughed. “Before the holiday, I contacted Caesar and said I wanted to book a restaurant to celebrate Lu Mingfei’s birthday, and asked if he wanted to give a gift…”
"Damn, bro! You guys who play tactics are really dirty-minded!" Lu Mingfei knew what Gu Ran meant by this move.
Gu Ran asked Caesar to give a gift at a wedding, but Caesar was no ordinary person; he would never give a gift to someone else, so he took care of it all himself.
Moreover, Lu Mingfei was a member of his student council. It was only natural for him to book a restaurant for his underling's birthday, and he wouldn't allow outsiders to interfere!
So they willingly paid and booked the restaurant.
This is what Gu Ran excels at: using other people's money to do her own thing.
Chu Zihang, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback by this turn of events. He slightly opened his eyes, surprised that Gu Ran was so cunning.
This move also tricked Chu Zihang, making him owe Gu Ran a favor for no reason.
However, Chu Zihang also admired Gu Ran, who had foreseen all of this, and he was willing to owe him this favor.
Su Xiaoqiang then asked Lu Mingfei, "Isn't Chen Wenwen beautiful tonight? I did her makeup!"
"She really is quite pretty..." Lu Mingfei recalled Chen Wenwen's outfit tonight.
She wore a white lace dress with a low-cut neckline, yet it was still very ladylike and not too revealing. Her face was lightly made up, and she still looked as innocent as ever.
Although she looked slightly different from the Chen Wenwen in the white cotton dress he remembered, she was still very beautiful tonight.
"What, didn't you take the opportunity to confess to Chen Wenwen again?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.
Lu Mingfei said with dissatisfaction, "Why did you use the word 'again'? I haven't even confessed to her!"
“You didn’t do it, but you did think about it.” Su Xiaoqiang pressed on relentlessly, throwing in a classical Chinese phrase, “Though there were no obvious signs, the intention was there.”
This statement was made by Xu Youzhen, an official during the Ming Dynasty, when Yu Qian, who had been wrongfully executed for "leaving behind a pure reputation in the world," was executed.
Lu Mingfei's face flushed red. Although he didn't know the allusion, he understood the general meaning: Chen Wenwen had always been a secret in his heart.
He only told Nono about it.
But earlier today, Senior Brother Chu told him, "Actually, everyone at Shilan Middle School knows you like Chen Wenwen... but they all know you're like a toad who can't reach a swan, so they don't care..."
Lu Mingfei was speechless on the spot. Oh no, so that's how it was!
The situation is the same now. Everyone at Kassel College knows that Lu Mingfei likes Nuonuo, but they also know that Nuonuo and Caesar are the real couple, so they continue to treat Lu Mingfei like a toad...
History does indeed repeat itself in a cycle of mistakes.
Gu Ran, who was standing to the side, tugged at Su Xiaoqiang's hand, stopping her from continuing to berate Lu Mingfei.
He said, "Now Lu Mingfei no longer looks down on Chen Wenwen because she is just an ordinary girl."
“Oh…” Su Xiaoqiang knew Nuonuo and had seen her photos. The girl had red hair and a good appearance and figure.
Her breasts weren't as big as hers, so she felt a little more at ease.
"What do you mean by looking down on someone or looking down on someone? We're just friends!" Lu Mingfei argued, staring at Gu Ran with wide eyes, wondering if he could read minds.
Yes, compared to Nuonuo, Chen Wenwen is just an ordinary girl.
Lu Mingfei's spirits were somewhat low.
Because Nono's birthday wishes haven't arrived yet.
And now, it's already 11 p.m.
Gu Ran walked over to Lu Mingfei and patted him on the shoulder: "Some things, if you don't take the initiative, won't have good results, and in the end you can only be restless."
Huh? Lu Mingfei was confused.
Gu Ran took out his phone, dialed Chen Motong's number, and put it on speakerphone.
"Hey junior, what brings you here so late? Aren't you afraid your girlfriend will get jealous?"
Su Xiaoqiang was slightly taken aback. Why did it seem like the whole world knew that I was jealous?
Gu Ran said, "My girlfriend is right next to me. She's very generous, gentle, and understanding. She's not jealous at all."
Su Xiaoqiang glared at him; that jerk only knew how to say nice things in front of her.
"Oh...sorry," Nono said, suppressing a laugh. "Then next time you're free, let's go to the hot springs together!"
Gu Ran opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to agree; Nuonuo's figure was still quite impressive.
But Su Xiaoqiang stood to the side, making a neck-cutting gesture with his right hand as a threat.
You agree to give it a try?
"What, you don't want to?" Nono continued to tease him.
"I want to, I want to!" Lu Mingfei said into the phone.
"What? Lu Mingfei is here too!" Nuonuo clicked her tongue, seemingly a little unhappy that she couldn't tease Gu Ran anymore.
"You two chat, my girlfriend and I are going to buy some water." Gu Ran handed his phone to Lu Mingfei, then pulled Su Xiaoqiang to a nearby vending machine to buy drinks.
Chu Zihang opened his eyes at this moment and wisely moved away.
