CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 281: CAN’T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!

"You, go out first." Xing Chen paused for a moment and ordered Ping Le.

Ping Le nodded and quietly left.

The large meeting room with its ultra-long table had rows upon rows of neatly arranged chairs.

Ran Xiangsi was sitting in one of those chairs, the hot water in her hand was starting to cool down slowly. She hadn’t taken a sip, her gaze was somewhat empty, unfocused.

Xing Chen sighed and took the cup from her hand, placing it on the table.

"Scared?"

Ran Xiangsi silently nodded.

Given the tense situation earlier, it would be impossible not to be scared.

Seeing her dull expression, Xing Chen then smiled, his eyes filled with affection.

"I thought you were truly fearless, L.S."

He intentionally didn’t call her by her real name, which made Ran Xiangsi somewhat angry and embarrassed. She quickly stood up and looked up at him.

"Aren’t you scared? If we hadn’t hidden quickly earlier, we’d probably be dead by now!"

For the first time, she felt so close to death.

Ran Xiangsi really didn’t want to admit that her legs were still a bit weak!

Upon hearing her words, Xing Chen’s laughter became even deeper, spreading in Ran Xiangsi’s ears.

"Even if you’re scared, they won’t show mercy because of that. Remember, fear is the most useless thing."

"Do you know who they are? Why did they want to kill us?" Ran Xiangsi pouted and sat back down.

After a while, Xing Chen finally stopped laughing and turned to look at the tall buildings outside the window, his gaze cold and frightening, "We’ll find out soon."

...

Xing Chen was right, less than fifteen minutes later, Ping’an had already caught the guy who fired shots from the building opposite.

Rongsheng Technology wasn’t a good place for interrogation, so they sent the guy to Director Li’s place, leaving the interrogation work to the police.

When Ping Le returned to the meeting room, Ran Xiangsi saw that he was alone and hurried to ask, "Where is Xing Chen?"

"Young Master has gone to the police station. Before he left, he asked me to escort you home, Young Madam." Ping Le said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Ran Xiangsi frowned, "Did they catch the guy?"

"Yes."

"..." For some reason, her heart felt a little empty.

Ran Xiangsi bit her lip and nodded, "Let’s go."

Since they already caught the person and Xing Chen wasn’t here, there was no point in her staying.

Just as she walked downstairs with Ping Le, Ran Xiangsi received an unfamiliar call.

So late, who could be calling?

Ran Xiangsi hesitantly answered the call.

Unexpectedly, Ran Yingqian’s voice quickly came from the other end of the line.

"Sister Xiangsi? You... you need to come quickly! Dad... Dad had a car accident while racing on the highway, he’s barely hanging on!"

Ran Xiangsi initially wanted to hang up the moment she heard Ran Yingqian’s voice, but she was caught off guard by what she said next.

Despite not having a good relationship, he was still her biological father.

Ran Xiangsi’s heart instantly surged.

"What’s going on? Where’s my dad now?" Ran Xiangsi asked as she ran to the street to hail a taxi.

Seeing this, Ping Le was utterly confused, having no idea why the Young Madam was leaving in another car.

Meanwhile, Ran Yingqian’s voice over the phone was even stained with tears, "I’m... I’m at the exit of Xihu High-speed. Hurry up! Dad wants to see you!"
