Chapter 38: What If It Was True

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What if he was telling the truth?”

Lin Nan was unsure, but it’s been such a long time and there was still no news of Li Ran. There had to be someone who knew about her whereabouts.

Fang Lin also thought that it was weird.

‘How could this be?’

So many people had been sent out to look for her. Yet, she was nowhere to be found.

Resources were scarce. The longer this went on, the more likely conflicts would arise.

During this period, everyone was terrified.

Fang Lin narrowed his eyes and calmed down.

Lin Nan had always been decisive.

Fang Lin had always admired him for that. Once Lin Nan made up his mind, he would not back out.

However, Cui Chong’s words had no credibility at all.

Fang Lin hesitated. Then, he shrugged and said, “I hope so.”

‘Who knows?

‘Is it possible for Li Ran to have survived?’

Fang Lin thought about this matter for a long time.

‘It’s impossible.’

…

The smile on Cui Chong’s face disappeared as soon as he stepped out of the door.

He took out his walkie-talkie and contacted his men.

When he found out that they were still with Fang Qiu, Cui Chong felt a little annoyed.

“Stop wasting time. Hurry up and bring her to me. I have something to ask her.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu’s face was full of despair.

Hearing Cui Chong’s voice made her shiver for a moment. Then, she saw that the two men were preparing to leave.

They ordered her to put her wrinkled clothes back on.

She was brought into an empty room, where Cui Chong was waiting.

“Why are you targeting Li Tao?”

Cui Chong chuckled, “What’s the point of asking? Do you want to be punished again?”

She raised her head.

Her eyes had no emotions in them.

Fang Qiu had completely lost her spirit.

Cui Chong did not think much about it and asked, “I’ll give you a chance to destroy her. Do you want to?”

Fang Qiu trembled as she looked at Cui Chong in confusion.

She could not understand what he was thinking.

Cui Chong clapped his hands and sneered.

“Women that I can’t get usually end up in a miserable state. Are you in despair? Do you want her to feel the same way as you? If you do, then cooperate with me.”

“What do you mean? You want to…”

Fang Qiu was halfway through her sentence.

Cui Chong gave her a stare and she immediately stopped talking.

She went to a special place to take a shower that Cui Chong had arranged.

Then, she was given some medicine that she clenched tightly in her hands.

“Use this medicine as you see fit. If you don’t use it, that’s fine too. The most important thing is this phone. Keep your eyes on Li Tao and report back to me.”

Fang Qiu returned to the dormitory.

There were many people gathered at the entrance of Li Ran’s dormitory.

She was famous and the object of discussion.

People were talking and gossiping about her non-stop.

Li Ran could even hear some of their conversations.

At that moment, she felt extremely fortunate to have faked her name!

“Why is Li Tao so favored? Does she have no shame?”

“She probably used some special methods to get special treatments. There’s nothing she can’t do with her body.”

“Sigh, men are so shallow.”

“…”

Lin Ke defended Li Ran as much as she could. However, there were too many people and her mouth was already numb.

She resorted to comforting Li Ran instead.

“Li Tao, don’t be sad. It’s not your fault that you’re beautiful.”

Li Ran shook her head. She did not want to trouble Lin Ke since this has nothing to do with her.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

“Good! You’re much tougher than you look.”

Li Ran smiled at Lin Ke.

She was able to stay strong because she did not care about what happened.

Li Ran made it seem so easy, making Lin Ke admire her even more.

Nighttime dawned.

The news of Cui Chong getting suspended was announced to everyone and his position at the canteen was replaced by another person.

Li Ran only found out about the news when she entered the canteen.

As she was queueing, someone cut in front of her.

The line she was in was the longest. A group of people would always follow and harass her.

It made Lin Ke very angry!
