In the dead of night, the door of the ward slowly opened silently from the outside.

On the hospital bed, Gu Ranle suddenly opened his eyes, his hand quickly slid under the pillow, grasped the self-defense dagger, and stared at the gradually opening crack in the door with sharp eyes.

As the door opened completely, the dim and soft light in the corridor outlined the clear silhouette of the man in the wheelchair.

Gu Ranle loosened his fingers, then turned over, turned his back to the door, closed his eyes and fell asleep again, as if nothing had happened.

Behind me, there were subtle but clear footsteps and the sound of a wheelchair slowly turning, slowly approaching and finally stopping beside the bed.

Then, the footsteps faded away quietly and the door closed gently.

Silence returned to the room.

As the morning light broke, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the curtains and Gu Ranle slowly woke up.

She sat up, her eyes naturally falling on the wheelchair beside the bed.

The man was dozing off in a wheelchair, his head swaying gently with his breathing. He looked tired yet with a bit of childlike innocence, like a warm and slightly humorous picture in the morning light.

Gu Ranle couldn't bear to disturb him, so he carefully turned over and got out of bed. As he was putting on his shoes, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.

Song Yu deliberately made a lot of noise, which directly woke up the person in the wheelchair.

Li Shenzhi opened his eyes dazedly and instinctively called out "Gu Ranle", his voice hoarse and gentle as if he had just woken up.

Gu Ranle couldn't help but chuckle and joked, "Is it more comfortable to lie on the three-meter-wide bed in your home than to take a nap in a wheelchair in the hospital?"

Li Shenzhi was not embarrassed at all when he heard this. Instead, he looked calm, with a gentle smile on his lips, and replied softly: "It's safe to sleep next to you."

Gu Ranle said with a "tsk", "Li Shenzhi, do you want to choke me to death so early in the morning?"

Li Shenzhi's face was full of pride, "It seems the sweetness is enough."

The two of them talked back and forth, completely ignoring Song Yu who was standing beside them, as if he had become a transparent person.

Song Yu didn't want to tolerate the two of them, and suddenly kicked the wheelchair with such force that Li Shenzhi and the wheelchair slid to the corner of the wall. Then, his eyes, as sharp as knives, locked onto Gu Ranle.

Gu Ranle raised her hand with a smile, lifted up the drooping corners of his mouth, and said earnestly: "Uncle, anger hurts the liver and accelerates aging. You still look younger when you smile. You are almost 40 years old and still don't have a girlfriend. You must pay attention to managing your facial expressions, otherwise you will look even older and it will be more difficult to find a partner."

Song Yu stared at her for a long while, but Gu Ranle still looked fearless.

When she was little, even a stern face couldn't scare her. Now that she's grown up, this approach is even less effective.

He finally sighed, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "Sit still, it's time to change the medicine!"

"Okay." Gu Ranle kicked off the shoe he had just put on, sat cross-legged on the bed, and then changed the subject, "Uncle, when are you leaving?"

"After breakfast." Song Yu answered briefly.

"Then I'll drive you?"

"No need."

Gu Ranle rolled her eyes and said, "How about I fly you there? That would be so cool!"

Five years ago, when she was pursuing Li Hongxuan, she was persuaded to buy a private plane and even took a pilot's license test. However, to this day, she has never flown it once.

Hearing this, Song Yu paused his movements and looked up at her with a complicated look in his eyes.

Gu Ranle's eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.

Song Yu suddenly chuckled, "I'm going to treat people, and you're planning to send me to heaven."

Gu Ranle: “…”

Gu Ranle's mood was obviously a little depressed. She asked with a little grievance: "Uncle, is there no trust between us at all?"

Song Yu still didn't give her a good look, and uttered two words, "No."

Gu Ranle curled her lips and wondered when she would have to fly a plane.

In the real world, she has flown a helicopter but never a private plane. She thought the difference wouldn't be that big, probably like the difference between driving a sports car and driving a large truck.

Song Yu saw through her thoughts, his eyes stern, and warned her seriously: "You'd better give up that idea!"

Gu Ranle was rebellious, "I won't! If you don't dare to sit, I'll find someone else."

After saying that, she looked at Li Shenzhi, who was kicked into a corner by Song Yu and said with a hint of provocation, "Brother Shenzhi, do you dare to sit in the plane I fly?"

Li Shenzhi didn't respond to her, and complained in his heart: "Your Uncle Song is afraid of being sent to heaven by you, so why shouldn't I be afraid? Your Uncle Song's life is life, so isn't mine?"

He really didn't dare to sit.

But he really didn't dare to say it directly.

How to do?

Ling Chong said that when faced with a problem, he would just close his eyes and pretend to be dead.

Although this method sounds unreliable, it might be worth a try at this moment.

He leaned his head against the wall, his eyes closed, his body rigid and motionless.

Seeing this, Gu Ranle frowned, "Li Shenzhi?"

She exchanged glances with Song Yu and wondered in her heart, could it be that he had just hit his head against the wall and passed out?

There was also a hint of uncertainty in Song Yu's eyes.

"Li Shenzhi?"

Gu Ranle called again, with a little more concern in her voice.

Seeing that the other party still had no reaction, she gently tugged at the corner of Song Yu's clothes.

"Uncle, why don't you go see him?"

Song Yu didn't go, thinking to himself, he fainted after being hit? This person is too fragile, is he made of paper?

After changing the dressing for her, he packed up his things and said calmly, "The dressing needs to be changed every four hours. The next dressing change will be at ten o'clock in the morning. The wound cannot be exposed to water for three days. You can go now."

"understood."

Gu Ranle responded casually, quickly put on his shoes, and walked quickly to the corner.

"Li Shenzhi?"

She called softly and gently tugged at Li Shenzhi's clothes, but the other party did not respond.

She carefully lifted his head and let him sit back in the wheelchair.

After a careful examination, I confirmed that there was no wound on the forehead, his breathing was steady, and his pulse was strong, and only then did I feel relieved.

Song Yu walked to the door, glanced at Li Shenzhi, snorted coldly, and left in big strides.

Gu Ranle didn't stay for long and followed Song Yu out the door.

Outside the door, Ling Chong saw them coming out together and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Miss, where is my husband?"

"He fell asleep in the wheelchair."

Ling Chong hurried into the ward and immediately saw his husband in the corner. He muttered in confusion, "Why did he go to the corner to sleep?"

He called out repeatedly: "Sir? Sir?"

Li Shenzhi slowly opened one eye and confirmed, "Is the person gone?"

Ling Chong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "They're gone, all gone. Sir, are you...pretending to sleep?"

Li Shenzhi smiled slightly and nodded, "The method you mentioned is quite useful at the critical moment."

Ling Chong looked confused: "???"

I don't know what you are talking about, but it feels like you are praising me.

He then asked again: "Sir, Miss Gu has left, so where are we going next?"

"Check where Song Yu is going today."

"it is good."

*

After leaving Song Yu's clinic, Gu Ranle went to the street to have a simple breakfast.

While I was eating, I received a message from someone who said, "You've got shit all over your head but you still want to stir it up."

After dinner, she took a taxi to the old town.

The winding stone road is flanked by mottled grey walls. Every brick and tile is engraved with traces of time, in varying depths, telling stories of the past.

The old trees stand tall with their roots tangled and intertwined. The mottled light and shadows cast among the branches and leaves, together with the leisurely old people and playful children on the street corners, create a series of warm and peaceful pictures.

Although she seldom comes here often, every time she comes, the old town always gives her an indescribable spiritual comfort with its unique tranquility and serenity.

Walk along the cobblestone road to the end, where you will see a quaint house.

The old wooden door was half open. She gently pushed it open, and with a creaky sound, it seemed to open the door to the past.

The people in the house heard the sound and came out quickly.

"Boss, you're here."

A young man wearing a loose white T-shirt, baggy jeans, bright yellow sneakers, and with his hair dyed bright green, came up to me with a big smile on his face.

His attire seemed particularly out of place in this quaint courtyard.

"I'm in the house, I'm quiet now."

Gu Ranle looked at his striking green hair and said jokingly, "Why not just call you Ah Lu?"

"Alu? That's good. I also find my name hard to pronounce." Alu responded nonchalantly.

Gu Ranle chuckled: "Alu, are you going to change your hair to blue next time?"

Every time I see him, his hair color is different.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This time it's green's turn, next time it will be blue's turn.

Ah Lu's eyes widened in surprise, "Boss, you are amazing! How did you know I was going to dye my hair blue next time? I really plan to dye it blue next time!"

Gu Ranle snorted, “I’m not amazing at all. Even a fool can guess that your rainbow color series is not over yet.

The man was locked in a small hut on the east side.

The room is equipped with air conditioning, which is blowing air slowly into the room, creating a pleasant temperature and making it so comfortable that people don't want to leave.

Gu Ranle pushed the door open and couldn't help but say, "Boy, you're treated pretty well! With the air conditioner on and watermelon to eat, aren't you feeling pretty good?"

Ah Lu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Boss, he paid for the air conditioning and the watermelon."

"Oh?"

"That's it, boss. Just listen to me."

Ah Lu cleared her throat. "He tried to bribe me with 50,000 yuan, saying it was too hot here and asked me to let him go. I thought, if you don't make money, you're a bastard, so I bribed him and bought him an air conditioner and a watermelon. The total cost was 3,888 yuan. This way he was cool and I made money. It was a win-win situation!"

After hearing this, Gu Ranle gave him a thumbs up. This train of thought was truly beyond the reach of ordinary people. She admired him from the bottom of her heart.

The man who was eating watermelon while enjoying the air conditioning glanced at Gu Ranle and continued to leisurely eat the watermelon in his hand.

Seeing this, A-Lu strode forward and kicked his watermelon away.

"Don't just focus on eating, come and meet our boss!" A-Lu ordered.

The man looked at Gu Ranle, and under the pressure of A Lu's momentum, he reluctantly stood up and perfunctorily called out "Boss".

A Lu quickly brought a chair and placed it respectfully behind Gu Ranle.

"Boss, please take a seat."

Gu Ranle sat down gracefully, and then motioned the man to sit down as well. She was not used to the feeling of being looked down upon by others.

The man sat down again, playing with the spoon he had used to dig the watermelon out of boredom. The watermelon was gone, and the fun seemed to have been largely gone.

Gu Ranle looked at him, then glanced at A Lu, and secretly felt that the two of them were quite similar in some aspects, both exuding a "not very smart" aura.

However, if you say they are not smart, their achievements in the field of computers are indeed impressive.

"Don't you know me?" Gu Ranle took the initiative to break the silence.

The man's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his head. His eyes stayed on Gu Ranle's face for a moment, and he shook his head, "I don't know her. But you are very beautiful."

Ah Lu interrupted, "You have a pretty good eye, our boss is a recognized beauty in Gu Cheng's eyes, and she's been all the rage online lately."

Gu Ranle chuckled, "Then let me formally introduce myself. My name is Gu Ranle, and everyone in Gucheng calls me 'Miss Gu'. I have indeed attracted some attention on the Internet recently."

"You...you are..."

The man stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, as if he realized something, and turned around to run away.

Ah Lu was quick to grab his collar and said, "Want to run? Where do you think you can run to?"

Seeing there was no hope of escape, the man's legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

"Auntie, I really don't know anything. I'm just a paid employee. I post whatever others ask me to post. Please let me go!"

"It's not impossible to let you go. The key is to see how you perform next." Gu Ranle said in a calm tone.

"As long as you let me go, I'm willing to do anything!" the man said hurriedly.

Gu Ranle was quite satisfied with this kind of person who knew the times. Dealing with such people could save a lot of trouble.

"A-Lu, prepare a computer for him."

A-Lu responded and came out soon with a laptop.

"Use your main account to post an update with the content 'Shocking news! A wealthy lady took on the identity of her deceased twin sister 25 years ago and gave birth to a daughter. For more details, please continue to follow this account.' Attach the picture I gave you." Gu Ranle instructed.

The man looked incredulous. "It's that simple? You can let me go just by sending this?"

"Of course, but you have to make sure this post is in the top ten of the trending search list within an hour." Gu Ranle added.

"This is a piece of cake for me. As long as the money is in place, I can have as many water army as I want and guarantee it will make it to the top." The man was full of confidence.

As a well-known celebrity on a certain platform with tens of millions of fans, one of his updates is enough to cause a stir.

Sure enough, soon after the update was published, the number of clicks quickly climbed.

"Someone will definitely contact you and ask you to delete the status soon. Have you thought of a solution?" Gu Ranle asked.

"I've thought about it. If you want me to delete the post, you have to pay. Since you're a wealthy lady, you must be rich. At least five million. I won't do it for a penny less." The man's eyes flashed with greed.

"If you want to make money, you have to take a long-term view. Are you satisfied with five million? You have to learn to ask for double the price, so that financial freedom is just around the corner." Gu Ranle persuaded.

While the two were talking, the man's account received a private message.

[Delete the picture and text you just posted, and I will give you one million.]
