Chapter 93: The Seven Kill Envoy Begins Major Actions

“Ranyan, I’ll be back after lunch. Can you watch the shop for a bit?”

Lin Qingzhi said to the inexplicably dazed Chen Ranni.

“Ah—” Immersed in her heroic thoughts, Chen Ranni was startled by Lin Qingzhi’s sudden words, letting out a strange cry.

She quickly stood up, turned around, and looked at Lin Qingzhi.

“Yes, sure…”

After answering, and seeing Lin Qingzhi’s puzzled look, Chen Ranni blushed and lowered her head again.

Liu Xinyao, watching this, spoke up in surprise.

“Chen Ranni? What a coincidence! What are you doing at Qingzhi jie’s place?”

“I’m working part-time for Qingzhi jie…”

Chen Ranni knew Liu Xinyao. Although they weren’t in the same class in high school, they both got into S University, so they had some impression of each other.

“Really, what a coincidence! I was thinking of helping out at Qingzhi jie’s place too!”

Saying this, Liu Xinyao turned to Lin Qingzhi, “Qingzhi jie, Brother-in-law said you’re short-handed. Can I help too?”

“Sure, if you want to, come over anytime!”

Lin Qingzhi agreed without hesitation.

After Wang Haoran’s explanation and Liu Xinyao’s courtesy, Lin Qingzhi had cleared up her misunderstanding of Liu Xinyao.

Although she still couldn’t understand why Liu Xinyao wanted to get close to her sister’s rival, Lin Qingzhi was happy to get along with her.

“Hehe, thanks, Qingzhi jie!”

Liu Xinyao happily held Lin Qingzhi’s hand.

As they were about to leave the shop, Liu Xinyao glanced at the lonely Chen Ranni and couldn’t help but ask, “Ranni, do you want to join us for lunch?”

“Eh—really?!”

Hearing Liu Xinyao’s offer, Chen Ranni looked up in surprise.

“Uh… this… should be fine…”

Liu Xinyao, just being polite, looked at Chen Ranni’s shining eyes and turned to Lin Qingzhi, feeling a bit at a loss.

Since she was Qingzhi jie’s employee, she couldn’t make the decision.

Seeing Chen Ranni’s eager and shy look, Lin Qingzhi agreed even though she was puzzled.

“Ranyan, come with us! All the orders are online, we can handle them after lunch.”

“Okay, great!”

So, the four of them went to have lunch at a nearby restaurant, “Stars and Sea.”

They sat around a round table.

Chen Ranni looked up and saw Wang Haoran sitting opposite her, feeling very embarrassed. She turned her head and pretended to be engrossed in listening to Liu Xinyao and Lin Qingzhi’s conversation.

While waiting for the dishes, Liu Xinyao’s phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Huh?! An… Anlin, what’s up?”

Liu Xinyao suddenly remembered that she had been so preoccupied she hadn’t seen Xu Anlin and hadn’t even broken up with him!

Seeing the others at the table looking at her anxious expression, Liu Xinyao quickly whispered into the phone.

“Um, I’m eating right now. Let’s talk later…”

“I’m not with anyone special, just… just with… my sister and Brother-in-law… Oh, and our former schoolmate Chen Ranni, who also got into S University.”

“Mm… okay, see you this afternoon!”

Finding it inconvenient to talk in front of Qingzhi jie, Liu Xinyao decided she’d meet Xu Anlin in the afternoon to explain everything.

Hanging up, Liu Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other end of the call.

Xu Anlin also sighed in relief.

He didn’t expect Liu Xinyao to meet Chen Ranni! This was completely unexpected.

He hadn’t even won Chen Ranni’s heart yet!

But fortunately, with Liu Xinyao’s personality, she wouldn’t mention her boyfriend to a casual classmate. And Chen Ranni, being very introverted, wouldn’t ask.

Ending the call early, he was confident they wouldn’t discuss him. So, it shouldn’t expose his relationship with Liu Xinyao to Chen Ranni.

Xu Anlin felt troubled. Though he dodged this time, it would eventually come to light. What would he do then?

Having no experience handling such complicated situations, he decided to take it one step at a time. After all—

Xu Anlin confidently made a gesture.

“I want it all!”

Failing to meet his girlfriend, Xu Anlin turned around, giving up on the couple’s meal at “Stars and Sea,” and decided to eat at the school cafeteria instead.

***

At S University.

It was lunchtime. Security guard Xiao Longchen volunteered to stay and watch the gate, letting his colleagues go eat first.

Watching his colleagues leave one by one, Xiao Longchen’s expression turned serious. He picked up his phone and made a call.

“Hello, Greedy Wolf? How did it go?”

Xiao Longchen’s voice was cold.

On the other end, Greedy Wolf’s cheerful voice came through.

“Boss, everything’s done! The heads of the Li and Zheng families died in a car accident along with their sons. When the ambulance arrived, they could only collect the bodies!”

“Good!”

Xiao Longchen was pleased. These two families had cooperated with the Jia family against the Xiao family. Now, the revenge was complete.

As for the Jia family, Xiao Longchen planned to handle them personally.

Greedy Wolf’s voice continued, “Boss, I found out the Jia family seems to have a connection with the Wang family.”

“The Wang family?”

“Yes, the family controlling S City’s famous Wang Group.”

“What’s their relationship?”

“I found out that after the Jia family took over your family’s assets, they clashed with other forces, resulting in mutual destruction. To maintain their status, the weakened Jia family ceded many benefits to the Wang family for protection. This included your family’s properties and businesses!”

“Is that so… So, my Xiao family’s things are now with the Wang family?”

“Boss, what should we do?”

Listening to Greedy Wolf’s question, Xiao Longchen was silent for a moment, then gave instructions.

“I’ll handle the Jia family personally.”

“As for the Wang family, leave it to you.”

“Remember, although the Wang family has my family’s things, we should give them a chance.”

“If the Wang family head is sensible and returns our things and offers substantial compensation, we should be generous and not pursue it further!”
