The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

Gu Ranle's words were like a spell, completely confusing Bai Yanlan's mind and causing her to frequently lose focus while driving.

Although her hands were still mechanically holding the steering wheel, her movements had lost their former steadiness and precision, as if she was being pulled by an invisible force and had lost control.

Sometimes you use too much force, causing the vehicle to shake violently; sometimes you relax and allow the vehicle to slowly deviate from the lane.

This scared Xiao Nan who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Mom! What's wrong with you?!"

There was a hint of screaming and anxiety in her voice, trying to awaken her mother's thoughts that were detached from reality.

Bai Yanlan was startled by the sudden scream and unconsciously exerted force with her fingers, causing the vehicle to shake.

She suddenly came to her senses.

It was a large truck, quietly parked at a red light.

She quickly slammed the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes at the same time. The wheels screamed shrilly and the car body shook violently under the huge inertia. Finally, in a thrilling way, it stopped almost against the rear of the truck.

Xiao Nan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a pale face, her eyes full of fear and anxiety, and her hands tightly grasped the seat belt, which was her only source of support and security at the moment.

"Mom, what are you doing? We almost..."

Her voice was choked with sobs and she couldn't continue.

Bai Yanlan felt a deep sense of remorse and regret in her heart, "Nannan, I'm sorry, Mom was distracted just now."

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, trying to calm his fear and anger, "Pull the car over for a while, I'll drive the rest of the way."

Bai Yanlan nodded with lingering fear.

After the two exchanged positions, Xiao Nan drove the vehicle carefully and continued forward.

After a moment of silence, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what did you talk about with Gu Ranle just now? Why did you become restless and distracted after you came back?"

Bai Yanlan sighed softly, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and she tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

"It's nothing, actually. I was just mad at her. Before I could even say a few words, she was more reasonable than me. She acted as if it was reasonable for her to hit you."

Xiao Nan's face changed slightly when she heard this. She forced a smile and asked tentatively, "So what did she say?"

"No matter what she said, it was all just quibbling." Bai Yanlan patted her daughter's arm gently, "Don't worry, Mom will definitely seek justice for you in this matter."

"Oh."

Each of them had their own concerns, so they tacitly chose to remain silent and not continue the topic.

After returning home, Bai Yanlan did not enter the house, but returned to the driver's seat from the co-pilot seat, and said to Xiao Nan gently but with a bit of urgency:

"Nannan, go back to your room and rest first. Mom has something urgent to deal with."

Xiao Nan frowned slightly, recalling the thrilling scene on the road, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"Mom, why don't we let the driver drive? Safety comes first."

Bai Yanlan nodded, watched her go into the house, and then drove away quickly.

About an hour later, the vehicle stopped in the underground parking lot of a large shopping mall in the city.

Bai Yanlan took the elevator directly to the dining area on the top floor and walked straight into an inconspicuous fresh fish restaurant in the corner.

It was lunch time, but the store was unusually deserted.

Bai Yanlan deliberately chose to sit in a corner where no one was around.

Soon, a man who looked like a waiter but was actually someone else came over slowly. Although he held the menu in his hand, he said as soon as he opened his mouth:

"Before 3 pm, be sure to prepare one million in cash."

Bai Yanlan was embarrassed when she heard this. "Cash? How can I get so much cash in such a short time?"

"It's your business how you do it." The man said firmly, "If I don't see the money by three o'clock in the afternoon, I will report you to the police!"

"you--"

"Fang Hu is dead, I must leave here immediately!" The man's voice was filled with urgency.

"You can't leave." Bai Yanlan analyzed calmly, "Once you leave, it's like telling the police that you are involved in Fang Hu's death."

The man was very emotional. "If I don't leave, won't the police find out about me? It was me who instigated Fang Hu to steal from Gu's house!"

"So what? You only instigated it verbally. Now Fang Hu is dead, there is no evidence. Just listen to me and focus on your work. Even if the police come to your door, you don't have to be nervous. Investigating a case requires evidence. Without proof, they can't do anything to you."

"Don't try to fool me with these words. If I fail, you will also be responsible!"

"What good will it do me to fool you?" Bai Yanlan tried to calm the other person down, "Don't worry, just listen to me and everything will be fine."

She pulled a large envelope from her handbag, used the menu as a cover, and handed it to the man.

"Here is 30,000 yuan in cash. Take it and use it first. But remember, don't let the people in your dormitory know that you suddenly have this extra money."

The man took the envelope, gently rubbed the thickness with his fingertips, and hummed with satisfaction.

"I know this very well. I don't need you to teach me."

After that, he turned around and left.

I passed by a middle-aged woman who was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes at the door.

"Sister, here!"

Bai Yanlan saw Zhao Lili and waved to her enthusiastically.

Zhao Lili and Li Jiaojiao (Bai Yanlan) are half-sisters and they occasionally interact with each other.

This morning, Zhao Lili suddenly called Bai Yanlan and asked her to have lunch at this fresh fish restaurant.

Bai Yanlan was worrying about where to meet the person, when she suddenly had an idea and decided to set the meeting place here. She hurried over and met the person before Zhao Lili arrived.

Zhao Lili sat down briskly opposite Bai Yanlan and said apologetically, "Sorry, Jiaojiao, I was delayed for a while because of something on the way. Did you wait too long?"

Bai Yanlan smiled and replied, "I just arrived a while ago. I just ordered pickled fish, mapo tofu, and beef with lotus root. Order more if you want to eat anything else."

Zhao Lili picked up the menu and casually added two more dishes.

While waiting for the meal, the two chatted idly.

"Sister, why did you ask me to come here today? Is there something wrong?" Bai Yanlan asked.

Zhao Lili smiled and said, "I'm a little short on money recently, so I want to borrow some money from you. Not much, just one million will do."

"One million?!" Another million!

"Yes, this little money is nothing to you, right?"

Bai Yanlan was a little angry. "Not to mention that I don't have it. Even if I do, my money didn't come from the wind. You just asked for a million. Don't think I don't know that you owe gambling debts. Gambling is a bottomless pit—"

"If you say that, it's meaningless."

Zhao Lili took a cigarette from her bag, lit it, and after puffing away for a while, she spoke again.

"Jiaojiao, oh, no, to be exact I should call you Bai Yanlan. If I tell Xiao Yuanshan that you are pretending to be Li Jiaojiao, guess what he will do to you?"
