Chapter 296: Chapter 295: Crap, I Slipped Up!!! (Second Update)

Little Paperman is Yun Ran’s Magic Artifact; when it is released, Yun Ran can perceive a lot of things.

However, if the distance is too far, and she wants to know all the details, it becomes somewhat strenuous, and she can only recall Little Paperman.

"Tell me, what’s happened these past few days?"

Little Paperman immediately started to talk non-stop like a chatterbox, recounting all the encounters.

It even repeated verbatim the conversation that Doctor Yu had over the phone with Principal Du.

Without any error, this was Yun Ran’s primary concern; she needed to know everything accurately!

Having listened, Yun Ran frowned slightly; this was clearly internal collaboration with external forces.

Even though they have now caught the mole, those outsiders are not to be underestimated.

No wonder people from the Capital City are seeking assistance from the Special Administration Bureau.

"I understand, you go back first, ensure that no one harms Doctor Yu and the others, and also, tell them that the people from the Special Administration Bureau have already gone there, and I will go too, but I am not on good terms with them!"

Little Paperman, with its round hands, touched its head, not quite understanding why its master was doing this.

Although it now possesses spiritual wisdom increasingly akin to a human, it still couldn’t contemplate complex matters like a human.

But its confusion was merely momentary, not understanding was okay; it just needed to follow its master’s instructions.

"Okay, master~"

After waiting for Little Paperman to leave, Ginsengfruit cautiously asked, "Host, the message I asked little brother to carry, was it to get Doctor Yu and his team to take sides?"

Yun Ran turned to look at Ginsengfruit, her tone unmistakably unfriendly: "Your little brother?"

Ginsengfruit: ...

Oops, misspoke!!!

"Host, that’s not important; we need to talk about something else now."

Yun Ran immediately scoffed, "Oh, not important? Since when? You, a System, even have the hobby of taking on little brothers, and moreover, you’ve targeted my own allies, trying to steal them now..."

Ginsengfruit felt that having a synthetic body was a terrible thing, as he could now feel a chill coursing through him.

Especially seeing Yun Ran’s increasingly dangerous gaze, Ginsengfruit immediately knelt down, and his chubby face even trembled in that moment.

Yun Ran: ...

Was she destined to clash with fatties in this life? Having Zhu Shijia, a Little Fatty as a friend was enough, and now another one shows up!

"Host, I’m on your side, being the boss is tiring if you have to manage everything, it’s enough if you just manage me..."

Yun Ran’s hand directly poked Ginsengfruit’s head: "You are small, but your schemes aren’t, with such a small group, and yet you still harbor ambitions of authority!"

Ginsengfruit rubbed his hands, murmuring softly, "I also dream of commanding with a single order and having a circle of helpers rushing out; how majestic that would be."

"What was that? Speak up!"

"No, nothing, Host, I was wrong, really wrong~~~"

Yun Ran wasn’t genuinely angry; Ginsengfruit was bound to her soul, it would not be an exaggeration to say they were in a life-and-death relationship.

Even if Ginsengfruit wanted to undermine her, it’s not a big deal to Yun Ran, as he can’t betray her.

Now that Ginsengfruit has his own body, he’s quite liberated.

Yun Ran was just taking this opportunity to give him a warning, lest he becomes unaware of his place and dares to do anything he pleases.

"Alright, your punishment will be to stay on guard during our journey!"

After freshening up, Yun Ran pulled the curtains by her bed; it was night time, and she needed to rest.

Ginsengfruit, seeing Yun Ran had calmed down, quickly got up from the ground.

Face bearing a he-he smile, "Don’t worry, Host, with me here, not even a mosquito will appear!"

With Little Paperman and Ginsengfruit both on guard, whether it’s a natural disaster or human trouble, nothing could disturb Yun Ran; she lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the driver’s partner was there early, holding a large box containing the best things he could find.

Only because of their extensive connections could they acquire so many goods.

The delegates from the Special Administration Bureau Headquarters were arriving by helicopter, much faster than Yun Ran.

The core team centered around Doctor Yu showed little surprise upon seeing the bureau’s delegates.

However, another team was exceptionally happy; they had suffered a lot during their trip.

Now that they had seen their ’saviors,’ they were overjoyed.

This time, the representative of the Murong Family was Murong Fei, also a history professor at another university in Capital City.

He brought four people from the Special Administration Bureau, and the rest are his assistants.

He hoped to gain Doctor Yu’s gratitude and thereby directly propose to integrate this project into the segment previously led by the Murong Family.

However, unexpectedly, Doctor Yu merely nodded indifferently towards him and then returned to his car.

The bodyguards, for some reason, seem to lack awareness and surrounded the area near the car, creating an empty space.

"Professor, this Doctor Yu really is as stubborn and ill-tempered as the rumors say!"

Murong Fei stood there, his face completely composed.

"No rush, some people always try to shake the big tree; only when they feel despair would they understand the comfort of resting under its shade."

The assistants grasped the professor’s intent right away and quickly flattered, "Professor, your foresight is unparalleled."

Back in the car, Doctor Yu saw Little Paperman hovering in mid-air, and the coldness on his face vanished.

There was even a smile on his face: "Don’t worry, I will definitely stand by your master’s side!"

Doctor Yu’s students also nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, if these people are at odds with your master, we definitely won’t associate with them!"

They had heard about Professor Murong Fei, notorious for being overbearing; any student or project he set his sights on would be snatched away, regardless of its commitment to others.

The things or people he disliked would disappear without him even having to say a word.

Now this man was even willing to come to the Northwest, a place known for arduous and dull archaeological work.

If anyone said Murong Fei had no ulterior motive, they’d never believe it.

As far as the master of Little Paperman is concerned, they felt it was justified.

Little Paperman had saved their lives without any benefit; owing to this bond, just keeping them from associating with those they disliked was the least they could do.

Not to mention that, as things stand, the protection provided by Little Paperman was already sufficient; they didn’t need any bells and whistles.

As for other people, even if they were sent by school leadership, they just couldn’t trust them.

They wouldn’t want to upset Little Paperman’s master for those people’s sake.
