Chapter 1456: Chapter 1379: Can’t Find the Person

Of course, I got scolded when I came back and was even punished, but honestly, I still felt pretty good about it.

After graduating, Wen Li also entered the political arena. Over the years, he’s been busy climbing up the ranks and has put off personal matters like marriage.

Ye Ranran, who was also navigating the political world, understood that having fewer people around means fewer problems. Especially at the grassroots level, one small mistake could give others the perfect reason to kick you out, which would basically ruin your career.

“Don’t laugh at me; next time, it’ll be your turn.” Wen Li closed the door behind him.

Ye Ranran chuckled and sat back down, turning her computer on again.

This time, some news came through. She looked at the photo of the bracelet on her screen and quickly picked up the phone.

“Xiao Mei, where did you find the bracelet you sent me earlier?”

“This is a limited edition. Only two were produced at the time. The one I just found is on the black market. I have the seller’s contact information—if you want it, I can send it to you.”

“Alright.” Ye Ranran didn’t hesitate long before agreeing.

The black market is just another marketplace for transactions. But it’s a bit chaotic, and it wouldn’t be safe for her to go alone. Ye Ranran looked at her petite frame and decided to find someone to accompany her.

But who could she ask? Wen Li came to mind immediately. Except, he’s probably already arrived at his blind date location by now.

Would it be rude to disturb him?

Tang Sheng—he’s one of Fu Rong’s people. She didn’t want to call him either.

Ye Ranran scrolled through her contact list and suddenly saw a familiar number near the top of her recent calls.

Should she ask him? But she had only met him a few times—was it appropriate?

And even if she decided to call him, what excuse would she use?

At a hotel, Jun Mochan was completely unaware of Ye Ranran’s tangled thoughts.

He, Zhou Xian, and Chu Ji were playing cards.

“Fu Rong wants to muddy the waters, doesn’t he? Well, I’ll help him out.” Jun Mochan laid down a trump card.

Zhou Xian and Chu Ji exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of suspicion and intrigue. “What exactly are you planning?”

“Fu Rong is desperate for the old man in power to step down, isn’t he? Well, I’ll give him a little push. Let’s see if he has what it takes to claim that position.”

Jun Mochan casually rearranged the cards in his hand. Seeing the two staring at him blankly, he raised an eyebrow. “Are you not going to play?”

Zhou Xian and Chu Ji both inwardly gave the finger. He had played a trump card—how were they supposed to counter that?

“Looks like the plan is falling into place.” Seeing they weren’t responding, Jun Mochan played a heart card.

This time, Zhou Xian could respond. He played a spade card and said, “You really do enjoy stirring up chaos, don’t you?”

This guy was growing increasingly audacious. Sending someone to assassinate the current president—where did he get the courage?

If the plot was discovered, it would undoubtedly provoke war between the two nations.

“I’m curious—who exactly did you send?” Chu Ji was more cautious than the other two.

If the mission succeeded, great. But if it failed and the person got caught… damn, he felt an overwhelming urge to book a flight back home immediately.

Being around these people was downright dangerous.

“One is here, isn’t he? Might as well give him the task.” Jun Mochan spoke with utter nonchalance.

“Alright, I’m out of cards,” he said, placing his last card down.

At that moment, his phone rang.

Seeing the name flashing on the screen, his sharp features immediately softened. The edges of his expression—all traces of coldness—disappeared bit by bit.

Zhou Xian and Chu Ji exchanged looks, instantly guessing who the caller was.

In this world, there was probably no one other than Ye Ranran who could elicit such visible emotion from Jun Mochan.
