"So you think there's no hope of sending her to prison?"

Bai Yanlan stared at the other party unwillingly and asked.

The man raised his lips with a sarcastic smile, "You should think more about how to get out of this situation."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't think Gu Ranle is so stupid, and don't think you are too smart. The fact that she can hire Jiang Hanyu to be her personal lawyer is enough to prove that she is not the prodigal and love-brained girl that outsiders think she is."

Bai Yanlan held her handbag tightly in her hands, pursed her lips, and did not speak for a long time.

"Just wait and see. Gu Cheng's world is about to change. There will be a major reshuffle, and she is the driving force behind it."

"Her? You are praising her too much!"

Bai Yanlan didn't take it seriously. To kill a poor rich girl whose father had passed away, whose mother was missing, who was arrogant and domineering and had very bad relationships with others was easier than to kill an ant.

The other party glanced at Bai Yanlan coldly and said, "Don't contact me again. Today is the last time we meet."

Bai Yanlan chuckled, "Are you scared?"

The other party sneered, too lazy to waste words with such an idiot, and stood up to leave.

After taking two steps, Bai Yanlan's sarcastic sneer came from behind.

"We are already tied together. We live together and die together. Do you think it is possible for you to survive alone?"

The other party paused slightly but did not respond. After opening the door, his figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Bai Yanlan looked at the man's departing back, the anger in her heart burning like a ignited flame.

She suddenly grabbed the coffee cup on the table and threw it to the ground with all her strength.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the coffee cup instantly broke into pieces, the fragments flew everywhere, and the coffee also splattered all over the floor. The rich coffee aroma formed a sharp contrast with the broken ceramic pieces, as if telling of her inner confusion and unwillingness.

She was breathing heavily, her eyes were red, and she stared at the door angrily, as if she wanted to stare it through.

"Gu Ranle, I will definitely kill you! Just wait and see!"

She gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, her voice full of hatred and her eyes firm and cold.

"I'll let you know that I, Bai Yanlan, am not so easy to deal with!"

Bai Yanlan stood up, stepped on the debris on the ground, walked towards the door step by step, opened the door, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

At the same time, a black car stopped outside the police station.

The car door slowly opened, and a man in a neat suit and with a stern face got out of the car.

The midday sun was blazingly bright. He squinted slightly, raised his hand to push the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, looked up at the dazzling sky, and then walked into the police station.

After completing the registration procedures, Jiang Hanyu soon met with Gu Ranle.

The two men's eyes met for a moment, Jiang Hanyu nodded slightly, then turned around and followed a police officer away.

Not long after, Jiang Hanyu returned.

"You can go now," he said simply.

The two walked out of the police station one after the other.

Jiang Hanyu went straight back into the car, and Gu Ranle followed him in.

"It's not on the way, you should take a taxi back by yourself."

Jiang Hanyu's voice was direct and frank without any warmth.

Gu Ranle didn't care about this indifference at all. She fastened her seat belt, adjusted the seat, lay down on it, tilted her head to look at him, and grinned with her big teeth bared.

"Lawyer Jiang, if it's not convenient for you, then just go the other way! The sun is scorching, and my delicate skin can't stand the sun. If I get sunburned, I'll be in a bad mood, and if I'm in a bad mood, I might have some tricks on your commission."

Jiang Hanyu started the engine expressionlessly, his eyes focused on the road ahead, his voice calm but with a power that could not be ignored.

"If you want to lose everything, go ahead and try."

Gu Ranle curled her lips, looking playful, "So fierce, are you heartbroken again?"

Jiang Hanyu didn't respond to her and concentrated on driving.

Perhaps the verbal battle in the court consumed too many of his words. Jiang Hanyu is usually taciturn, but today he has spoken quite a lot.

Gu Ranle knew his character very well, so she stopped teasing him and closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Jiang Hanyu sent her to the gate of Gu's house and parked the car outside the gate without going in.

"I'm very busy lately, so you'd better be quiet and don't make me come to the police station every few days to clean up your mess."

Before getting off the car, Jiang Hanyu gave a warning.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ranle retorted in dissatisfaction: "Lawyer Jiang, tell me honestly, how many times have I called you in the past seven years? If I really didn't call you once throughout the year, you would probably feel uneasy about taking the high commission, right? I'm doing this all for your sake."

Jiang Hanyu said in a cold tone, "Thank you, Miss Gu."

"You're welcome. I'm a good boss who cares about my subordinates!"

"Get out of here!"

"Wow, you're quite arrogant! But I like this temper."

When Gu Ranle got out of the car, she teased Jiang Hanyu again, which made Jiang Hanyu so angry that he turned the car around with the rear facing her, blew exhaust fumes in her face, and drove away.

"My lady!"

As soon as Gu Ranle stepped into the threshold of the Gu family's gate, Butler Zhao spotted her with his sharp eyes and hurriedly walked up to her with an anxious look on his face.

"Miss, I just saw the news and I'm so worried. I called you but your phone was turned off. I was so worried."

Butler Zhao walked around Gu Ranle, looked her up and down carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was safe and sound.

"It's good that you're okay. It's good that you're okay. Miss Yueming and Miss Lanshan were both scared and cried just now."

"Two cowards, I don't know who they look like."

Gu Kang and Zhao Lili were both braver than each other, but they didn't expect that their two daughters would cry at the slightest provocation.

Gu Ranle teased, "Old Zhao, you're not scared to tears, are you?"

Butler Zhao deliberately rubbed his eyes and said, "Miss, look, am I crying?"

Gu Ranle felt a warm current in her heart and patted Butler Zhao's shoulder gently. "I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'm fine."

"That's good, that's good." Butler Zhao responded repeatedly, and suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "You haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll go tell Aunt Wang and ask her to heat up the food. Everyone hasn't had lunch yet, and we're waiting for you!"

Butler Zhao left in a hurry, while Gu Ranle walked into the yard leisurely.

She pulled her cell phone out of her trouser pocket and pressed the power button.

In an instant, the phone started to vibrate "buzzing" like a bee awakening, and a series of incoming call reminders and unread messages in the chat software came flooding in like a tide.

Waiting for the phone to finally go quiet, Gu Ranle briefly browsed the message and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She found an angle with soft light and took a selfie.

She then uploaded the photo to social media with the caption: The hunt has officially begun. Are you ready?
