Li Lan received Jiang Xinran's location and replied.

"Wait for me there, we'll be there in about fifteen minutes."

Li Lan was the good friend who shared an apartment with Jiang Xinran. She usually liked to dress in a neutral style, and today was no exception.

After sending the message, Li Lan did not receive a reply from Jiang Xinran.

"Cousin, can you drive faster?" Li Lan said to Cheng Yiyang who was in the driver's seat.

"There's a red light ahead, my lady."

"Okay, cousin, you are right, safety first." Li Lan said, looking at the phone again.

However, I still couldn’t receive any information from my friends.

"Could something have happened?" Li Lan felt very bad and murmured.

Normally, when Jiang Xinran received her message, he would definitely reply, or at least say, "Got it."

But now, it's really unusual.

"Li Lan, how do we get ahead?"

"Oh, turn right and walk straight for a while, then turn left at the second intersection."

"Okay." After hearing this, Cheng Yiyang continued driving.

The car moved forward and in less than ten minutes, it reached the designated road.

"Li Lan, look outside the car and see if your friend is on this side of the road or the other side."

"Okay." Li Lan replied and looked outside the car.

After a careful look, Jiang Xinran was still not there.

So Li Lan made a phone call.

“Du, du, du—”

It rang several times, but still no one answered.

"Cousin, Ranran didn't answer the phone." Li Lan said worriedly.

Not long ago, the sky was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain.

"She wouldn't have gone somewhere else, would she?"

"No, she knows I'm going to pick someone up, so she won't wander around. Also, the location is also here."

"How about this, you get out of the car and look over here, and I'll go to the other side of the road to check. If there's anything, we can talk over the phone."

"Okay, cousin."

So, the two men split up and started searching for people on both sides of the road.

After getting off the car, Li Lan crossed the flower bed on the side of the road and walked along the path inside the flower bed.

......

At this time, it was already past five in the afternoon.

The sky was gloomy and the light was a little dim, but it was not time for the street lights to come on yet.

Li Lan stood where he was, opened the location sent by Jiang Xinran, and looked at it again and again.

The location is here, that's right. But why is there no one there?

For some unknown reason, Li Lan made the phone call.

"Ring, ring, ring—"

Hey, the ringtone is nearby.

Li Lan continued to talk on the phone and ran towards the ringing phone.

"Ranran, where are you? Ranran——" Li Lan shouted as he walked.

Suddenly, she saw someone lying on the flower base on the right.

......

Twenty minutes later.

Li Lan followed the ambulance and took Jiang Xinran to the hospital.

"Miss, your friend has lost a lot of blood and will probably need a blood transfusion. Do you know her blood type?" a nurse in the ambulance asked.

Only then did Li Lan's thoughts shift.

"She has type O blood."

"Well, it's good that it's not panda blood."

"no."

......

Soon, they arrived at the First People's Hospital of Huacheng.

Jiang Xinran had a head injury, and the back of his head was covered in blood, which was shocking to see. There was also a bloody patch on his pants thighs.

Seeing this, Li Lan was worried.

She had just returned from a business trip and was thinking of celebrating Jiang Xinran's promotion to a regular employee tonight, but this accident happened.

Later, during the rescue, Cheng Yiyang and two policemen arrived.

It was Cheng Yiyang who called the police just now.

He is Li Lan's cousin, a bit gentle and handsome. Originally, he accompanied his cousin to celebrate with Jiang Xinran today, but this accident happened.

"Ms. Li, we need to take a statement. Please come with us." A tall policeman said.

"Okay." Li Lan replied, and before leaving, he told Cheng Yiyang: "Cousin, please keep an eye on it for me."

"Well, don't worry."

......

After preliminary questioning, the police defined Jiang Xinran's incident as a case of intentional injury.

"Miss Li, do you have any suspicions?"

"I don't know. Xinran has been back in China for a few months, and apart from her family, she has not contacted her former classmates."

At this time, another policeman came in and whispered a few words to the police officer who was questioning him.

After the policeman left, the police officer who was questioning asked again: "Did you know that Jiang Xinran has been on the hot search recently?"

"Ah - what is this?" Li Lan said in surprise after hearing this.

Jiang Xinran has always been low-key, what could have happened to make her a hot topic?

What exactly happened to Ranran while she was on a business trip?

With the police's permission, Li Lan read the news online. Then, she said indignantly, "This is outrageous. Who wrote this? I'm going to sue him."

"Ms. Li, please don't get excited. Can you tell me what you know about Miss Jiang's family?"

"Ok."

So Li Lan told everything she knew about Jiang Xinran and her adoptive parents.

As the two police officers listened, they had new ideas and exchanged glances.

"Ms. Li, thank you for your cooperation. Please confirm the contents of the transcript. If it is correct, please sign it."

Just like that, the police officer ended his questioning of Li Lan.

......

In response to the attack on Jiang Xinran, Huacheng police officers quickly launched an investigation.

They checked the call records on Jiang Xinran's cell phone and questioned him one by one about the calls he made in recent days.

The first one is Grandpa Mu.

When I answered the phone, Grandpa Mu had just finished dinner and hadn't gone upstairs yet.

Upon hearing that Jiang Xinran had an accident, Grandpa Mu was worried and surprised.

When the driver came back, he told him to take Jiang Xinran to where she used to live.

Little did he know that when he went out later, he was attacked.

Then, Grandpa Mu immediately called his eldest grandson Mu Yan and informed him of the situation.

"Grandpa, I understand. I'll book a flight back tomorrow."

"Okay, arrange for someone to go to the hospital and take good care of your wife."

"Well, I will."

After ending the call, Mu Yan was about to make an outgoing call when he received a new call.

"Hello, Mr. Mu. I'm calling from the Huacheng Police Department."

After some communication, Mu Yan revealed his identity.

"I am Mu Yan, the president of the Mu Group. Jiang Xinran is my newlywed wife. Please find the murderer as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Mu." After hearing this, the police officer was surprised and replied quickly.

Oh my God, that Mr. Mu who is not interested in women is actually married.

Afterwards, Mu Yan remembered that his marriage to Jiang Xinran had to be kept secret, but now he told the police officer.

So he asked for confidentiality.

Of course, police officers are happy to cooperate with these personal privacy issues.

"Mr. Mu, do you know that your wife has been cyberbullied recently?"

"What is cyberbullying?"

"In recent days, there have been many reports online that have been spreading rumors that Ms. Jiang is unfilial to her parents, causing fierce responses from netizens. Ms. Li, a friend of Ms. Jiang, pointed out that the online reports are all fictitious and malicious slander. However, we need the parties involved to report before we can initiate an investigation."

"Okay, I understand. If there is any update on the case, please contact me immediately."

......

That night, after Mu Yan explained everything, he went online to check the news the police officer had mentioned.

The more I watched, the more frightened I became.
