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

"One million? That's just like giving alms to beggars!"

The man sneered, his fingers jumping on the keyboard like a storm.

[One price, five million, one cent less, no bargaining!]

The other party responded quickly and sharply: [Don’t be too greedy, or you’ll lose your life! ]

"Oh, you dare to threaten me?" The man sneered.

[Ten million, that's the bottom line! I have a more powerful bomb on hand. Once it explodes, hehe, don't blame me for not reminding you, it will be too late to regret it!]

The other party seemed to be a little shaken, [At most six million, no more.]

"Bargain with me? I'm really giving you a slap in the face!" The man's eyes were stern.

[Fifteen million, no bargaining!]

The other party was silent for a moment, and compromised again, [Eight million, that's the limit.]

[Twenty million, not a cent less!]

The man was resolute.

The other party's message stopped abruptly, and the air was filled with tension.

After waiting for two or three minutes, there was still no news from the other party. The man couldn't help but feel a little nervous, fearing that the cooked duck would fly away. He turned to look at Gu Ranle.

"I asked for 20 million, but he stopped replying my messages. Will he run away? What should I do? If I had known, I would have asked for 15 million and stopped while I was ahead."

Gu Ranle smiled calmly, "Wait another five minutes. If he doesn't reply, you can continue to expose the news."

The man's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Okay! What's next?"

Ah Lu kicked him impatiently, "Why are you so impatient? You'll know what the content is when I tell you to post it!"

The man covered his sore butt and answered honestly, "Oh," and dared not say anything more.

In less than five minutes, the other party's message arrived as expected.

[Deal, payment and goods, you decide the location.]

"Haha, it works! This rich lady's moves are different!"

The man was so excited that he almost jumped up. The image of himself sitting on a huge sum of money appeared in his mind, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"He said he wanted to meet to do the deal. I can decide the location."

Gu Ranle chuckled, with a hint of amusement in her tone, "Meet? Aren't you afraid that he will set you up, and you won't get the money, but lose your life instead?"

The man smiled confidently, "Boss, you don't understand this, right? Since I dare to meet him, there is no way I won't make adequate preparations."

Ah Lu stepped forward again and kicked him mercilessly.

"Stop pretending here! You dare to show off in front of the boss? Are you tired of living?"

The man rubbed his increasingly swollen buttocks and begged for mercy with a bitter face: "Brother Alu, please show mercy, can you kick me somewhere else?"

Not only did A-Lu not stop, but he became even worse.

"Who is your brother? You are much older than me!"

"I was wrong, Brother Lu."

"Who are you calling brother? How dare you take advantage of me!"

Before he finished speaking, another accurate kick hit the target.

The man was completely stunned. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Gu Ranle for help, "Boss..."

A-Lu interrupted without mercy and kicked him again.

"This is my boss, not yours! You can't take my job!"

The man finally couldn't help it and burst into tears, "I...I was really wrong..."

"You still have the nerve to cry!"

A-Lu scolded angrily, but her foot was lifted up again involuntarily, and she delivered another precise strike at the "old place".

It is not right for a man to cry, nor is it right not to cry.

He simply squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, not daring to say another word.

"Okay, A-Lu, that's enough."

Gu Ranle spoke at the right time, his eyes falling on the man squatting on the ground.

“Can you trace the other party’s IP?”

"of course can!"

The man stood up quickly and returned to the computer. His fingertips raced across the keyboard like jumping notes, and strings of complex codes immediately surged on the screen.

Soon, the screen froze and the result was revealed.

The man said "Huh" and frowned, "Why is this IP exactly the same as the one of the big client a few days ago?"

Gu Ranle's eyes shone when he heard this, "What big client?"

The man was slightly embarrassed. "I am the one who hired me to post information with the intention of discrediting you."

"Are you sure it's the same one?"

The man patted his chest, confidently saying, "I'm absolutely sure! If such a small thing could go wrong, then all my years of using computers would be in vain."

Gu Ranle frowned, "Gu Xiaohei, didn't you say that Li Ergou and Bai Yanlan didn't know each other?"

Li Ergou was the man who drowned in the pond.

After the accident, Gu Ranle's first suspect was Bai Yanlan.

But Gu Xiaohei told her that Bai Yanlan and Li Ergou did not know each other.

When she met Bai Yanlan on the road the day before yesterday, she tried to test Bai Yanlan. Although she did not reveal the truth directly, her subtle reaction made her firmly believe that even if they were not close friends, there must be some unknown connection between them.

[The information I have here shows that Li Ergou and Bai Yanlan did not know each other.]

"I suspect you are lying to me."

[Woman, what good will it do me to lie to you? ]

"You know what the benefits are."

[If you say so, then I will not provide any information about anyone you ask me about in the future.]

"Gu Xiaohei, you are threatening me."

[It's not a threat, it's because I don't want to cause trouble for myself. If you don't believe what I say, what can you do to me? There is very little information about Li Ergou, only one sentence, male, 42 years old, single, criminal record, and eventually drowned. There is nothing else. And there is indeed no such person in Bai Yanlan's network, so I said that they didn't know each other, is it wrong? ]

“Is your database not updated in time?”

[The information of all characters in this world is fixed at the beginning, but it will change accordingly as you influence this world. Usually, these changed characters have a direct or indirect relationship with you. ]

"Then according to what you said, Li Shenzhi may not die miserably in the end."

According to the original plot, the villain Li Shenzhi will die tragically at the hands of Li Hongxuan and Xiao Nan.

[His life or death has little to do with whether you can successfully capture him. As for how the world will change in the end, this is not something you should consider.]

"I'll tell A'lu the time and place of the meeting later. You can leave now." Gu Ranle said to the man, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.

The man was stunned, his face full of disbelief, "You, you really want to let me go?"

"What? Are you reluctant to leave this place?" A'lu raised her foot to kick him again, but the man got smarter this time and dodged.

"No, no, no, I'll leave right away. Thank you for not killing me!"

A Lu escorted the man out of the old town and dropped him off on the roadside, then returned to the old yard.

Gu Ranle stood under the grape trellis in the yard, holding a bunch of crystal clear grapes in her hand and tasting them leisurely.

Ah Lu also picked a bunch and ate it while asking, "Boss, are you letting him go so easily?"

"If we don't release him, do we have to continue to provide him with food and drink?"

Ah Lu scratched his head, "Then all the trouble I've been doing for the past two days has been in vain, right?"

Gu Ranle chuckled, and said meaningfully, "Since it's a struggle, there's no such thing as a waste of time."

A-Lu seemed to understand but not quite, and scratched his head more frequently.

Gu Ranle said nothing more and walked away under the green shade of the grape trellis.

On the other hand, Bai Yanlan's mind was a tangled mess of fear and resentment.

Although the content posted by that big V did not directly mention the name and the attached pictures were blurry, the public opinion has not been directed at her for the time being, but the uneasiness deep in her heart is like a wildfire that is difficult to contain.

The deliberately blurred picture gradually became clearer in her eyes. The outline of the characters seemed to coincide with her memory, which made her break out in a cold sweat.

She couldn't understand why the past that had been hidden for more than 20 years became known to others?

First, Gu Ranle deliberately called her "Bai Yanlan" in front of her, and then Zhao Lili also came to blackmail her.

Where did these two people find out?

Zhao Lili obviously knew about it not long ago. If she had known it earlier, she would never have kept it in silence until now.

So, who revealed this secret to Zhao Lili?

Could it be Gu Ranle?

Thinking of this, Bai Yanlan's heart sank suddenly.

Did Gu Ranle already know the truth behind the smashing incident, and was it inextricably linked to her?

If this is the case, then isn’t this big V’s revelation a revenge carefully planned by Gu Ranle?

This series of speculations made her feel very uneasy. If her guesses were true, the situation would become extremely tricky. She would have to face the shadow that she had been avoiding for many years, as well as the storm that might follow.

Just when Bai Yanlan was feeling upset, the cell phone rang suddenly, like an uninvited thunder in the night sky, which scared her.

She glanced at the screen and suddenly understood.

It’s Zhao Lili calling.

This phone call undoubtedly added fuel to her already troubled mood.

Bai Yanlan's eyes instantly turned gloomy, and she sneered in her heart.

She could almost foresee that Zhao Lili's call this time would be to ask for money again.

Zhao Lili, you will eventually pay the price for your greed and ignorance.

Since you insist on seeking your own death, there is no need for me to show mercy.

Bai Yanlan took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and put the phone close to her ear, preparing for the coming storm, while also secretly thinking about how to get rid of this trouble completely.

The people she arranged were supposed to get rid of Zhao Lili yesterday, but unexpectedly only caused Zhao Lili to suffer minor injuries.

We must succeed this time no matter what.

"Hey, ma'am."

Bai Yanlan's voice was calm, but her eyes were like ice, revealing a fierce determination.

"Jiaojiao, I'm very short of money right now. I had a car accident yesterday and I'm in the hospital now. Can you help me out again and lend me two million for emergency?"

Zhao Lili's voice sounded soft, and people who didn't know her might think she was really borrowing money.

Bai Yanlan snorted coldly. She didn't want to waste any more time beating around the bush with her, so she got straight to the point and asked, "Zhao Lili, let's not beat around the bush. Tell me, how much do you want before you give up?"

"Ten million! As long as you give me ten million, I promise I will never bother you again."

Ten million?

Bai Yanlan sneered in her heart.

She knew very well that Zhao Lili was a greedy and insatiable person. Once she tasted the sweetness, she would ask for more endlessly.

Ten million today, it could be twenty million tomorrow!

And this time, she will not give Zhao Lili any chance.

"Ten million? I don't have that much. Eight million at most. That's my bottom line."

Bai Yanlan deliberately bargained to dispel Zhao Lili's concerns.

Zhao Lili is suspicious by nature. If she agrees immediately, she will definitely think too much.

"No, it must be 10 million, not a penny less!" Zhao Lili did not give in.

“I don’t really have that much!”

"You don't have what your man has, so even a penny less won't do."

The two argued on the phone for a while, and finally Bai Yanlan compromised.

"Okay, ten million is ten million. But I hope you can keep your word."

"Of course. We are half sisters after all. How could I harm you? I just want you to live a peaceful life."

Zhao Lili's words sounded high-sounding, but they could not conceal her greedy nature.

"Then it's settled. You come to my store to pick up the money at 5 o'clock this afternoon."

Bai Yanlan runs a beauty salon in Gucheng. Thanks to her husband Xiao Yuanshan's connections, her business has been booming.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yanlan immediately dialed another number, her tone filled with unquestionable coldness.

"This time, there must be no mistakes. If we fail like last time, you know the consequences."

The echo of the call had not yet faded away when the phone vibrated again, displaying an unknown caller number.

Bai Yanlan frowned and pressed the answer button.

"Boss, there's news. The other party has confirmed the time and location of the transaction. It's at 12:12 noon today, and the location is International Cinema. But the specific location, they said they will notify you after the cinema."

From the other end of the line came the cautious report of his subordinates.

Hearing this, Bai Yanlan tapped the table lightly with her fingers, as if she was weighing something.

After a moment, she said in a deep voice, "Okay, then let's do as the other party asks. But there is one thing I want to emphasize, you must catch him alive. I want to deal with this person personally."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yanlan's eyes became even deeper, as if she had foreseen everything that was about to happen.

She stood up, walked to the window, stared at the bustling scene outside, and secretly planned every next move in her mind.

At this point, there is no turning back for her, and she will get rid of anyone who is not good for her.

After dealing with Zhao Lili, it was Gu Ranle's turn next.

However, Gu Ranle is not as easy to deal with as the fool Zhao Lili, so she must plan carefully.

*

Shortly after leaving the old town, Gu Ranle's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the police station, asking her to come over as soon as possible.

After arriving at the police station, an officer informed her in detail about the results of the identification of the person who drowned in the pond.

"The deceased is named Li Ergou, not from Gucheng, 42 years old, a man who had been unemployed for a long time and had a history of theft. He was released from prison six months ago."

"According to his recent roommate, Li Ergou mentioned that he had found a valuable vase osmanthus tree a few days before the incident and planned to steal a few to sell. On the night of the incident, he went to bed unusually early, but suddenly left the dormitory at midnight and never returned."

"Based on the information we have so far, we initially speculate that he might have been in the process of stealing trees when he suddenly decided to break into your home to steal. Unfortunately, he slipped and fell into the pond and drowned."

Gu Ranle nodded after hearing this, "So, the case is closed like this?"
