After opening the door, Wen Xu turned around to take the bag in his hand, but Ji Ran dodged her hand and pushed the door open directly into the room.

Wen Xu sighed softly, followed him into the house and closed the door.

Ji Ran walked into the living room, put the bag he was carrying on the coffee table, and sat directly on the sofa. Just as he was about to speak, Wen Xu made a hushing gesture to him, signaling him to sit there and not speak.

Wen Xu took out instruments and computers to detect the room, and then checked every corner of the room.

I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no surveillance or listening devices in the room and that no one else was hiding.

Ji Ran could only watch her cautious movements. He was unable to help and dared not say a word. He just sat there obediently, following her gaze.

After completing the inspection, Wen Xu walked back to the living room, took out two bottles of milk from the plastic bag on the coffee table, and handed one to Ji Ran.

She sat on the single sofa opposite Ji Ran and said with a smile: "Brother Ran, I didn't expect you to have such a good eye. You can recognize me even with my makeup on."

Ji Ran twisted the milk and took a sip, then laughed: "To be honest, it was mostly guesswork. At first I thought the back was familiar, then I looked at it face to face and found that the ears, hands, and walking posture were all very familiar, so I was probably 7-8% sure, and only just now was I completely sure."

Wen Xu looked at his hands and sighed: "It seems that I have to disguise my ears and wear a pair of gloves tomorrow."

"It's okay!" Ji Ran put down the milk bottle, put his hands on the back of the sofa, and said proudly: "You disguised well, but your brother has very good eyesight and is very good at judging people. With your current disguise, ordinary people will definitely not recognize you."

Wen Xu smiled when he heard his boasting and changed the subject, "Brother Ran, are you here to help Ji Ci pay back his debts?"

"You know?" Ji Ran was slightly stunned.

Wen Xu nodded gently, "I saw him at the Sands Bay Casino when I came here this morning. He was so excited about gambling that he lost his mind easily."

When Ji Ci was mentioned, Ji Ran's smile instantly disappeared, and his tone became slightly heavy: "This kid usually likes to play and make trouble, but he has never caused any trouble. Who would have thought that after hanging out with Dong Zhilong for a few days, he would gamble, fight, and even go to the police station. If the other party hadn't agreed to a settlement, his studies might not be safe!"

Wen Xu whispered, "Brother Ran, after this, you guys better keep an eye on him. Once you get addicted to gambling, it's hard to change."

Ji Ran sighed, of course he knew.

Especially at Ji Ci's age, he is easily impulsive and deceived, and the key is that he himself does not have the ability.

This is the only child in my uncle's family, and he is usually spoiled and rarely disciplined.

I will definitely have to restrain him when I go back this time.

Ji Ran got angry when he mentioned Ji Ci. He didn't want to talk to him anymore. He looked up at Wen Xu and said, "Tell me about yourself. Why did you come to Aocheng in disguise?"

"I came to find Xiang Nuannuan." Wen Xu said directly: "I received news that she was taken to Australia City. Xiang Nuannuan's grandmother appeared in the Xinhe High-end Private Hospital. I was afraid that someone would set a trap, so I simply disguised myself and came here to investigate first."

Ji Ran guessed that she was disguised for something, but she didn't expect it was really for Xiang Nuannuan.

"Did you find her?"

Wen Xu said: "We found her grandmother. She is in the intensive care unit of that hospital. She is dying. Xie Qichen is there, but Xiang Nuannuan is nowhere to be seen."

"Xie Qichen?" Ji Ran was stunned. "Him? How could it be? Is he in cahoots with Xiang Nuannuan? What good will it do him to harm my brother?"

Wen Xu shook his head. "We still have to find Xiang Nuannuan to find out the specific reason. I have already asked someone to keep an eye on the hospital. By the way, how is my brother?"

When mentioning Shen Qian'an, Ji Ran sighed again.

"Mr. Huang is treating him. His mental state has improved a bit and he is no longer crazy, but he is cold and numb. He is like a puppet without a soul. He is depressed and nothing can change his mind. He has refused to talk about what happened that night, even when the police asked him."

Wen Xu drank some milk, took out two bags of plums from the bag and threw one to Ji Ran.

"From his perspective, he was almost killed by the person he trusted the most, and the person even fled because of the crime. I guess his 'heart' is dead now."

Wen Xu said as he opened the package and ate a plum, which tasted sour and sweet.

"So, I still don't understand whether it was Xiang Nuannuan who did that?" Ji Ran also followed her to open the package and eat.

Wen Xu said: "From my personal perspective, I still believe in Xiang Nuannuan. We can only wait until we find the person before we can tell the truth."

According to the information she knew, Wan Shuya was hypnotized, but no one could say whether Xiang Nuannuan was hypnotized or controlled.

After all, she wasn't there.

Wen Xu didn't dare to conclude that the person who stabbed Shen Qi'an was definitely not Xiang Nuannuan.

Maybe Shen Qian died with peace of mind because those knives were really stabbed at Nuannuan.

She could understand Shen Qian'an's current feelings, probably because he was too disappointed in someone.

"So what are you going to do next?" Ji Ran asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow." Wen Xu ate plums and looked at him vaguely, "Brother Ran, I advise you to take Ji Ci back home early tomorrow morning. It's still quite chaotic here, and you can't help me much. Besides, I'm in disguise now. If I get too close to you, it will be easy to be seen through."

Ji Ran thought so too.

Since Wen Xu chose to come here in disguise, he must have made some preparations. He can't cause trouble for others!

……

Suite 3102 downstairs.

Ji Ci sent the room number to Ji Ran.

He was very curious about what his brother was doing now, and whether he was doing anything, but he didn't dare to call him, let alone go upstairs to disturb him.

As soon as the message was sent, Ji Ci heard the sound of "bang bang" on the door.

"You're back so soon?" He glanced at his phone, got up and went to open the door, shouting, "Brother, stop knocking, or you'll break the door."

Ji Ci thought it was Ji Ran who came back, so he opened the door without looking through the peephole. The moment the door opened, he was completely stunned.

There were a dozen or so scoundrel-looking men standing at the door, and it was obvious that they were gangsters here.

"You, who are you looking for?" Ji Ci had never seen such a scene before. His legs suddenly went weak and his voice trembled.

The leading man smiled at Ji Ci, pushed him aside and walked into the room.

The people behind pushed Ji Ci into the house, and then rushed in together, leaving only two people guarding the door.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Guan Shan, and I'm employed by the Zhong family in Haicheng!"

The man who was speaking sat on a single sofa, raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, signaling his men to press Ji Ci to sit down.

When Ji Ci heard about the Zhong family, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, I will pay you back. I didn't say I wouldn't. There's no need to make such a big fuss. It's 730 million yuan including principal and interest. I knew I had planned to pay it back as soon as I left the police station. But I couldn't contact Zhong Luoyun. I called him more than a dozen times, but he didn't answer!"
