Chapter 1221: Chapter 1240: An Encounter on a Narrow Path

"Don’t talk about her," Leng Ran changed the subject, "I asked you to keep an eye on Jiang Nanfei, how is it going? She should have left the military by now, right?"

Shi Cin’s eyes lit up, "She left yesterday, and entered the hospital the same evening. I was just about to tell you! I’ve just received the news; she has already left the hospital."

Leng Ran suddenly stood up, "Why didn’t you say something sooner? You only tell me after she’s been discharged."

"It happened so suddenly, you know we pay a price to get any information from Huo Beijiang."

Leng Ran sighed dejectedly. How could she have forgotten Huo Beijiang, that plague? But if it weren’t for Huo Beijiang, they wouldn’t need to pay attention to Jiang Nanfei. Thinking that Huo Beijiang was actually her aunt’s biological son, she still found it incredible.

Her cautiousness inside increased all the more.

Women are fickle, even the toughest woman has a soft spot. Now that her aunt wants to deal with Huo Beijiang, but who knows what she’s really thinking? If she foolishly did something to Huo Beijiang now, it’d mean her own demise once her aunt regretted it later.

Not feeling reassured, Leng Ran repeatedly instructed Shi Cin to be careful before picking up her bag, ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" Shi Cin followed with concern.

"I’m going to see Jiang Nanfei." Leng Ran turned back, revealing a cryptic smile, "Since she’s fallen ill, as an old classmate, naturally I should personally visit."

After she finished speaking, she headed out the door, only to coincidentally run into Zhuanzhuan and Leng Tianqi, who were also on their way out.

The three met in the narrow corridor of Dark Street, where the passageway was so tight that two people could barely walk side by side, let alone three. When they bumped into one another, someone had to give way.

Leng Tianqi bumped Zhuanzhuan with his shoulder and flashed a provocative smile, "Look at Leng Ran, she’s so mad her face is turning green."

"Tianqi, she’s your cousin, be a little more polite," Zhuanzhuan corrected with a smile.

"Yes!" Leng Tianqi didn’t argue but instead spread his hands in agreement, "You’re right, we all share the Leng surname, so no matter what, I should be a little more polite to her."

Despite his polite words, his actions remained unchanged. He even went so far as to put one hand in his pocket and took up two-thirds of the passageway.

Zhuanzhuan occupied the remaining third, her smile meaningfully deep and her eyes brimming with pleasure. She was somewhat glad she hadn’t dealt with Leng Tianqi; having such an interesting person around would keep life from getting dull.

Leng Ran moved swiftly, with no intention of stopping. This was the Leng Family’s residence on Dark Street. Who knew how many eyes were watching from the shadows! Whoever gave way today would be at a disadvantage in the future.

Moreover, Leng Ran started managing things before Zhuanzhuan, officially making her the top hand.

Zhuanzhuan was just there to assist her, officially the second in command, so Leng Ran had no intention of giving way.

As the three of them drew closer and closer to colliding, Shi Cin swallowed nervously. He feared that the superficial calm would break and was even more fearful that Leng Ran would lose in this confrontation.

Countless eyes watched in secret, filled with tension, excitement, and some with schadenfreude.

The three of them walked towards each other, none giving way, none considering the others, their gazes interlocking midair, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder from a distance.

Leng Tianqi couldn’t help but clench his fists. Despite his arrogant and brash demeanor, always finding Leng Ran disagreeable, he was definitely lying if he said he wasn’t nervous at this moment.

On one hand, he despised and looked down on Leng Ran, and on the other, he feared her.
