Chapter 213: Murong Bufan’s Plan

“…Murong Bufan? Xuexue? Why are you here?”

Walking up, it was indeed Murong Bufan, with Fu Xue by his side.

“We were passing by and saw you guys fighting here!”

Murong Bufan squinted at Wang Haoran, who merely shrugged.

“I have no idea why they showed up. I was just defending myself!”

“You’re not going to accuse us of mutual assault again, are you?”

Wang Haoran didn’t believe Murong Bufan would dare make baseless accusations in front of Fu Xue.

Sure enough, Murong Bufan didn’t dwell on that point. Instead, he curiously eyed Wang Haoran’s somewhat disheveled clothes.

“Of course not. But, Wang Haoran, with your skills, how could you get hurt?”

“Aren’t you a Grandmaster?!”

“Who said Grandmasters can’t get hurt? I can do what I want!” Wang Haoran said nonchalantly.

“Getting hurt isn’t a crime, is it?”

“Hehe, getting hurt isn’t a crime, but…”

Murong Bufan turned to look at the man behind him.

“Tell us honestly, what has our President Wang done?”

Seeing the middle-aged man behind Murong Bufan, Wang Haoran narrowed his eyes.

This middle-aged man was the leader of the four burly men, the one who had tried to forcibly demolish and pressure Xu Ruochu.

“Murong Bufan, what are you…?”

“Hehe, Wang Haoran, drop the act! He’s already confessed!”

Murong Bufan looked at the middle-aged man and ordered, “Tell the truth, quickly!”

“I… I…”

“Don’t be afraid, we’ll protect you!”

Seeing the middle-aged man hesitating, Murong Bufan patted his shoulder.

Finally, the man spoke up.

“Last night, President Wang had someone get us out of jail, saying he had something for us to do. After it was done, he’d send us abroad to lay low.”

“What did he want you to do?” Murong Bufan asked.

“He… President Wang wanted us to come here this morning… to block the Xu family’s mother and daughter…”

“And then President Wang would play the hero…”

“He even specifically instructed us to hurt her mom, sending her back to the hospital…”

The middle-aged man pointed at Xu Ruochu’s mom as he spoke.

“Did he say why?”

“No. Officer, that’s all I know!”

After the man finished, Wang Haoran laughed and looked at Murong Bufan.

“Hehe, Officer Murong, you believe him?”

“Of course!”

Murong Bufan smiled, nodding.

“Wang Haoran, you know, this morning Xuexue and I went out and happened to see this man acting suspiciously at the hospital entrance.”

“He should have been in jail, but there he was at the hospital entrance. I was curious, so I detained him for questioning.”

“And well, he couldn’t hold up, so he confessed everything.”

“…That’s right.”

Fu Xue confirmed Murong Bufan’s words.

However, she added another sentence.

“We went out together because we were on a mission, and then we stumbled upon this scene.”

Fu Xue’s additional explanation made Murong Bufan feel somewhat bitter.

But thinking about Wang Haoran’s impending disgrace, his mood improved.

“President Wang truly cares for his subordinates. He committed such a big crime, and you still used your connections to get him out and plan to send him abroad.”

“Heh, I sent him to jail, he hates me, it’s normal for him to slander me, right?”

“But President Wang, with your Grandmaster skills, stronger than mine, how come you’re struggling against these goons?”

“…”

Seeing Wang Haoran speechless, Murong Bufan felt triumphant.

He had long anticipated Wang Haoran wouldn’t miss the chance to play the hero and move Xu Ruochu!

Indeed, Wang Haoran fell for it!

Murong Bufan looked at Wang Haoran and began “deducing.”

“You staged a hero-saving-the-beauty act to win Ruochu’s gratitude and make her fall for you completely.”

“And you instructed them to injure her mom so she’d stay in the hospital, making Ruochu continue to rely on you, right?”

“Let me guess, you wanted to take advantage of Ruochu’s body, but she refused, so you came up with this scheme?”

“…All of this is your speculation. Where’s the evidence? If I really wanted to do this, I could have found someone else. Why go through the trouble of getting these guys out of jail?” Wang Haoran retorted.

“That’s because they committed their crimes under your orders! You feared they’d confess, so you planned to send them abroad!”

After Wang Haoran finished, the thug with the shattered knee also spoke up in pain.

“That’s right! President Wang, didn’t you say you’d let us leave after the act? Why did you go so hard on us, what am I supposed to do now!”

The middle-aged man beside Murong Bufan also spoke with a regretful tone.

“President Wang, I’m sorry, I want to be a good person.”

“This young girl is so pitiful, what you did was too much!”

“…Hehe, you don’t need to apologize. Whatever you do is your business, as long as you bear the consequences!”

Wang Haoran shrugged, then looked at Murong Bufan.

“All of this is your speculation, with no real evidence!”

However, Murong Bufan, well-prepared, was confident.

“Hmph, Wang Haoran, dare to go to the police station with me and check who released these people?”

“…To the police station?”

“Hehe, I’m not going!”

Wang Haoran wasn’t playing anymore. Presumed innocent until proven guilty, and they wanted him to go to the police station to clear his name? What a joke!

He wasn’t the protagonist!

Wang Haoran directly asked Fu Xue.

“Xuexue, what do you think?”

“…I, I…”

Fu Xue felt conflicted.

Murong Bufan’s actions were all with her, and they indeed coincidentally stumbled upon this scene.

And Wang Haoran, a Grandmaster, struggling with a few small fry, was indeed strange…

But thinking of Sister Ning, she…

“Brother Murong, these people have a grudge against Wang Haoran, their words may not be trustworthy.”

“I think we should take them back for interrogation to get the truth!”

In the end, Fu Xue decided to believe Wang Haoran this time.

“Xuexue, you’re great!”

“Xiaoxue! You…!” Murong Bufan felt as if he had swallowed something bitter!

Meanwhile, Wang Haoran, patting Fu Xue’s head, waved to Xu Ruochu.

“Xiao Chu, come here!”

“…”

“Xiao Chu?”

Hearing Wang Haoran’s voice, Xu Ruochu, who had been silent, looked up.

“Why don’t you dare to go?”

“…”

“Brother Murong is telling the truth, right?”

“…False! Alright, Xiao Chu, come here, I’ll explain everything to you later!”

“You bastard! I’m not coming over!”

Xu Ruochu’s eyes were already red.

Listening to everyone’s words, she found Murong Bufan’s explanation quite reasonable.

Wang Haoran had indeed tried to take things further, but she, feeling shy, had refused.

She also felt it wasn’t appropriate while her mom was still in the hospital.

And today’s discharge was decided by her mom last night, and she had only told Wang Haoran.

How could it be such a coincidence that these thugs were released last night and found them?

If these people were really instructed by Wang Haoran…

Thinking about the phrase “clinging to the Wang family for money,” and their intention to injure her mom, Xu Ruochu couldn’t hold back her tears.

She knew it, she wasn’t lucky enough to find someone who truly loved and cherished her!

It was all just a game!

Crying, Xu Ruochu pulled her mom’s hand and distanced herself from Wang Haoran.

“…Fine.”

After a while, Wang Haoran nodded.

His target was the female lead, Fu Xue, anyway.

Then, Wang Haoran picked up his phone and instructed, “Luoluo, Yingying, come over!”
