Qin Ran could already imagine the scene.
Qian Dui didn’t even have time to think about what recipe Ning Wei was talking about.
He had been in this line for a long time and had seen all kinds of arrogant people.
He also couldn’t take it anymore and felt the anger roll in his chest almost igniting the surrounding air.
“Yes, I heard.” Qian Dui smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes as he said lightly, “He’s quite bold and arrogant.”
The exchange of words made Ning Wei terrified.
“Aunt, where did Mu Nan go?” Qin Ran returned the file to Qian Dui and asked word by word in a fiery tone.
Ning Wei was silent.
Then, a clear voice from outside the door could be heard. “He’s at home.” Cheng Juan leaned against the door frame and said in a dull voice, “It’s as expected, he’s probably negotiating with the people over there.”
It was as Qin Ran expected.
Her expression was solemn as she looked at Ning Wei. “Aunt, just stay here and relax.” Then, she turned to Qian Dui and said emotionlessly, “Let’s go.”
Ning Wei grabbed onto the bedsheets. “Ran Ran, what are you two doing? Don’t be impulsive!”
“Relax, I’m not going to be impulsive.” Qin Ran didn’t look back.
Impulsive?
Even if 129 didn’t participate, Qian Dui alone could make sure they didn’t run away.
She left directly with Qian Dui.
Cheng Juan didn’t follow them. Having Qian Dui go to the non-influential plastic factory was already an overkill.
He just walked to Ning Wei’s bed and reached out to look at Ning Wei’s medical record.
He leaned slightly against the head of the bed and flipped through it, frowning slightly. No wonder she was so angry.
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and made a call.
Then, he turned to Ning Wei and greeted her very politely. “Auntie Ning.”
He looked at her, paused, and then continued to explain in a warm voice, “The man just now is Qian Dui, the captain of Yun Cheng’s Criminal Investigation Team. He’s one of the top three big bosses in the domestic criminal investigation industry, so let alone your factory director, even the big landlord supporting him won’t be able to run away.”
When Ning Wei saw Cheng Juan, she remembered thinking this man looked good and was polite when she saw him in Chen Shulan’s ward last time.
Now that she heard what he said, she was stunned.
Of course she had heard of the criminal investigation team.
But she didn’t understand a few prefixes.
Big boss?
When did Ran Ran get to know them?
Ning Wei was still frozen in place.
She heard someone knock respectfully on the door.
Cheng Juan turned, bent over slightly, and hung the medical record card on the bed again before saying calmly, “Come in.”
In a flash, a bunch of doctors came in.
Ning Wei was still stunned. She watched as more doctors than yesterday entered the ward, their attitudes rigorous and respectful, and upon closer inspection, even a little fanatic.
The doctor in front was a little old and there was a nametag with the word “Dean” written on it. Was he First Hospital’s dean?
“Report the specific details to me.” Cheng Juan reached out and the dean immediately handed him a pile of information.
Cheng Juan took it and glanced at it. He flipped through it very quickly and occasionally glanced at Ning Wei.
He finished the twelve-page report within three minutes.
Then, he returned the information to the dean, deep in thoughts.
Someone handed him a white surgical gown immediately.
“The consultation is ready, and we have checked the patient’s physical condition. We will push her to the 22nd floor after twenty minutes…” Cheng Juan put on the white coat, buttoned it up with one hand, and walked out without hesitation. He gave instructions calmly, but his movements were quick.
He wasn’t as lazy as before.
Ning Wei was still stunned when she was pushed into the operating room. “You… are you going to amputate it?”
“No,” a nurse with a blue mask said softly. “Ms. Ning, don’t be afraid. With Dr. Cheng here, even if your legs are twisted, he will be able to make you stand up once more.”
Qin Ran had told her last night that despite her assertion, her leg wouldn’t be amputated.
Today, the nurse said that she would be able to jump around in a lively manner.
Coupled with Qian Dui, Ning Wei was completely stunned after being anesthetized.

Over here.
Mu Nan’s family lived in an old community.
It was on the sixth floor and there wasn’t an elevator.
There were many people in the old community.
Today, nobody dared to approach Mu Nan’s house.
Two black vans were parked downstairs.
Qian Dui stopped the car and pressed his phone again. “Has everyone evacuated from Hehai Plastics Factory?”
He got off the car and told his men where Mu Nan’s house was.
Qin Ran came down from the other door.
She was looking down, her eyes bloodshot and extremely cold.
Qin Ran was good-looking and also came to the Mu family’s house often, so most of the neighbors knew her.
A white-haired grandma who just came back from the vegetable market saw Qin Ran going upstairs and immediately stopped her. “Little girl, don’t go up! A group of people just went up to find your cousin, and they even have tattoos on their body, so fierce!”
She tugged on her sleeves and Qin Ran lowered her head to look at the turbid eyes of the worried grandmother before taking a deep breath.
“Thank you, grandma. I’ll take a look from outside and leave.”
Qian Dui hung up his phone. “They set off at about the same time as us and found a surveillance video at the Hehai Plastics Factory, but it was already destroyed. They’ll arrive in ten minutes.”
Qin Ran nodded. “Send the monitoring video to my phone.”
Even if the monitoring was smashed, much less destroyed, she would still be able to restore it.
The two of them went upstairs as they talked.
The grandmother stood behind them for a long while, then shook her head and left with a sigh.
**
On the sixth floor.
“Twenty thousand, it’s compensation for your mother.” A middle-aged man with a tattoo on his fat face took a puff of his cigarette and glanced at the person beside him.
The person immediately threw a small pile of money on the table.
There were a bunch of black-clothed men in the room with their sleeves rolled up, revealing cyan tattoos on their arms.
Mu Nan didn’t look at the money and just stared at the bearded man intensely. “Did you guys do it on purpose?”
The middle-aged man sneered at Mu Nan, but before he could speak, the sound of the door unlocking could be heard.
Who could come at this time?
The middle-aged man and his subordinates couldn’t help but look outside.
Mu Nan thought of someone and his expression also changed as he looked up sharply.
Qin Ran had taken Ning Wei’s key when she left, so she directly opened the door and entered the house with Qian Dui.
Her sweater hat was still buckled on her head, but it wasn’t pulled down. Today, she had especially changed into a black coat and wasn’t wearing her school uniform jacket.
She narrowed her pair of beautiful eyes and swept across everyone in the room, her eyes rid of surprise or any other emotion and just endlessly cold.
She reached down to pull on the brim of her hat, covering her bloodshot eyes.
Seeing Qin Ran, the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. Qian Dui walked in front of her quietly and blocked the eyes of the middle-aged man.
Now that he was in the house, the middle-aged man wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he kindly answered Mu Nan’s question, “It’s not important whether it was deliberate. Young lad, don’t be so angry, having an accident in the factory is just a simple matter.”
Mu Nan pursed his lips and dug his fingernails into his palm.
He looked up and engraved the middle-aged man’s face deep in his mind.
“Aren’t you afraid I will call the police?” Mu Nan’s voice was suppressed and a little hoarse, but it still sounded calm.
As if he had just heard a joke, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, sympathizing, “Do you think I will let you guys get the surveillance videos? Without it, who knows if you’re just fabricating false information to get our compensation? Your mother was already handicapped from the beginning. At that time, we can just make use of it and spread it online. Your mother will then be accused of committing fraud for the compensation, who do you think is the unlucky one?”
Hearing this, Mu Nan’s hands shook.
“Don’t be so angry.” The middle-aged man smiled and knocked his cigarette bag on the table. “If you want to report the case, go ahead. But of course, whether it succeeds…”
He turned and stared at Qin Ran before squinting. “Is this your sister?”
He didn’t care about unimportant people like Mu Nan and Ning Wei at all. He had only crippled Ning Wei’s leg as a warning, and also because he was disdainful of her.
Mu Nan’s heart tightened when he saw the middle-aged man lay eyes on Qin Ran. “Wait, I’ll give you the things. Hurry up and leave!”
Then, he went back to his room, took out a piece of yellowed paper, and passed it to the bearded man.
“You’re indeed smarter than your mother.” The bearded man took the paper in Mu Nan’s hand and his eyes lit up. “If only your mother was as tactful as you, why would she need to suffer this?”
He smoked another cigarette and spread the paper on the table before looking at it carefully.
The longer he looked at it, the greedier he looked.
Then, he stacked the paper neatly and placed it in his pocket.
Mu Nan reached out and pointed to the door with a blank expression. “Can you go now?”
“Go?” The middle-aged man nodded. “Of course I can go.”
He stood up and took two steps towards Qin Ran.
Something wicked flashed across his eyes. “But your sister has to come with me.”
Mu Nan took two steps forward swiftly, the veins on his face bulging. “How dare you!”
“Grab these two men.” The middle-aged man ignored Mu Nan and instructed.
His subordinates immediately held Mu Nan’s hands and also grabbed Qian Dui easily.
At the same time—
The cell phone in Qin Ran’s pocket rang.
She looked down and saw that it was Gu Xichi.
“Have you reached?” She didn’t seem to feel urgent and spoke lightly.
Gu Xichi got out of the taxi wearing large black sunglasses. “First Hospital, right? Which ward?”
Qin Ran said the name of Ning Wei’s ward. “Someone is there, be careful.”
She was naturally referring to Hao Dui, Cheng Mu, and Lu Zhaoying.
Gu Xichi chuckled casually. “Relax.”
After hanging up, Qin Ran looked around the room and saw that everyone was looking at her.
Even the middle-aged man seemed surprised. Qin Ran’s voice was too calm, and her tone didn’t change at all when she talked, as if she was discussing the weather with them.
Did she really not know the urgency of the situation, or was she stupid?
The middle-aged man paused, then reacted and stepped forward.
But Qin Ran bypassed him first and walked towards the table.
She first flicked the money on the table onto the ground, then pulled out a chair and sat down. She lowered her head and unfolded her mobile phone, turning it into a miniature handheld computer as she brought out the monitoring video that she had just received.
She started recovering it.
“What are you doing?” The middle-aged man was still stunned.
These people weren’t professionals and their techniques were lousy, so Qin Ran recovered the video very quickly. After hearing this, she raised her head, leaned back on the chair, and said lightly, “If you want to know, come over here and take a look.”
The middle-aged man stared at her extremely glamorous face that exuded a sense of fatal danger.
He walked over and looked down at the screen of the handheld computer.
It showed the monitoring video of the crime scene that had already been destroyed.
The video vividly showed him working with several employees to tamper with the machine tool which Ning Wei worked with, and there was also a video of him destroying the surveillance video with several other people.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed and he reached out to try to grab Qin Ran’s computer.
But Qin Ran was a step quicker than him.
She looked down calmly and closed the computer.
Then, she reached out and pulled down her sweater hat before removing the black rubber band from her wrist to tie up the hair that had scattered all over her head.
She moved her wrists, turned her head, and said lightly to Qian Dui, “I’ve gotten sufficient evidence. Can I start now?”
**
At the same time.
Hao Dui and Aunt Luan Zhou couldn’t find Qian Dui anywhere.
However, they heard that Cheng Juan was in First Hospital now and that Qin Ran’s aunt was in trouble.
The two of them received a ward number from the dean.
He and Lu Zhaoying drove over to First Hospital, wanting to know what happened that made the entire criminal investigation team make such a big move.
The royal blue car parked in front of the hospital.
A taxi also stopped.
A man in white casual clothes got off, wearing a pair of wide black sunglasses on his nose bridge which couldn’t cover how delicate and defined his face was.
Lu Zhaoying put his hands in his pocket and glanced around randomly while waiting for Hao Dui to park the car. Suddenly, he paused.
