Chapter 748: 0737 Are you sure you want to know?

After a long while—

"What? Is this for real?"

Mo Shangjie had a look of utter disbelief on his face as he dashed to the archery lane, jumping up and down while hugging the target, his expression screaming incredulity.

The others were also shocked, but what shocked them even more was that Su Ran’s three arrows had hit the bullseye, not only that.

At the same time she hit the bullseye, she had also knocked off Yan Shuming’s arrow!

Was this something a human could even do?

Even Chu Xiyao couldn’t manage it!

"How is this possible? This woman... is she really that amazing?"

"This is called amazing? This is called being divine, okay? Who among ordinary people can hit the bullseye and knock off someone else’s arrow at the same time?"

"So, she was playing the fool and pretending to hide her true skills?"

The expressions on everyone’s faces still hadn’t fully recovered from the shock.

Yan Shuming, on the other hand, looked utterly dejected, his face pale as if he couldn’t accept the result at all!

His archery skills, which he prided himself on, had lost to a woman he deemed as good for nothing.

What mattered most was that he had lost the land in Nan City!

That land was meant for the Yan family’s capital turnover.

And now, he had lost it...

Lost it!

How could this have happened?!

Just then, Su Ran’s voice suddenly rang out.

"It seems my luck isn’t too bad today, so I’ll unceremoniously accept this bet. Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Yan!"

In an instant, Yan Shuming came back to his senses, glaring at Su Ran with a dark, ominous look on his face.

"You did it on purpose?"

This woman had been fooling him!

She clearly knew how to shoot arrows but pretended otherwise with such deep scheming!

Upon hearing this, Su Ran raised an eyebrow. "What did I do on purpose?"

Yan Shuming’s eyes were filled with rage, "You obviously know archery."

With the corner of her mouth hooked in a smile, Su Ran enquired softly, "Did I ever say I couldn’t?"

"You..." Yan Shuming choked, his face turning even darker.

She indeed hadn’t said that; the competition had been his idea to begin with.

But then why did she act like she couldn’t shoot an arrow?

In their midst, was there anything worth her scheming over?

Him...

All at once, a shiver ran through Yan Shuming’s heart followed by a chilling realization.

Others might not, but he had something on him!

The land in Nan City wasn’t far from Global, its value was self-explanatory, and many were eying it, including the Fu family.

If her goal from the start had been that piece of land, then she...

Suddenly, Yan Shuming felt the chill in his heart spreading throughout his body.

If from the beginning, she was playing the fool to bait him into a trap.

If that were true, how deep was her cunning?

But on second thought, it seemed unlikely!

How could a woman possibly anticipate so much?

And who had the intellect to plot all this?

His encounter with her had been accidental, and challenging her to a competition had been an impromptu decision; how could she have predicted any of it?

This was impossible!

He must have been overthinking it!

Su Ran looked at the ever-changing expressions on Yan Shuming’s face and smiled slightly.

"Now it’s time for Mr. Yan to honor the bet!"

Grinding his teeth, Yan Shuming glared at Su Ran with a dark face but stayed silent.

Su Ran wasn’t worried he would break the agreement and said lazily, "Mr. Yan doesn’t want to pay? What a dilemma! I have the written proof you drafted by hand. So, I guess I’ll have to send my lawyer to collect the debt."

Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked towards Yan Shuming.

Yan Shuming’s face turned ugly, veins throbbing on his forehead and he finally spoke.

"I will draft an agreement and have it delivered to you."

Su Ran nodded, satisfied, and left with Fu Qixiu and Mo Shangjie.

At that moment, those who had looked down on Su Ran were showing subtle changes in their attitudes.

"Indeed, someone chosen by Fu Qiyuan is extraordinary!"

"I told you so and you didn’t believe me. Could Fu Qiyuan’s judgment be flawed? This is the internationally renowned R. You haven’t seen her fighting videos. A person who has made a name internationally, how simple could she be?"

"Hmph, at the end of the day, isn’t she just a little designer? Are you really flattering her so much? Which one of us here doesn’t come from a better background than hers? What right does she have?"

"I don’t know what right she has, but I do know she’s Fu Qiyuan’s fiancée now. You all had better pray she doesn’t tell Fu Qiyuan about what happened just now, otherwise... Heh!"

At this, everyone turned pale!

Su Ran was Fu Qiyuan’s fiancée; picking on her was the same as picking on the Fu family.

And just now, most of them had been unfriendly towards her!

To the side, Mu Linhao paid no heed to the discussions around him. He glanced at Yan Shuming, who was in a daze, his face revealing deep thought.

-

Fu Qixiu followed Su Ran closely, never leaving her side even for a step.

"Sister-in-law, was your initial goal that plot of land in Nan City?" Fu Qixiu asked.

Su Ran glanced at him. "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"Don’t play dumb with me. How can there be such a coincidence in this world? Grandpa just mentioned that piece of land this morning, and you also asked about our Yan family’s affairs."

Su Ran raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps there really is such a coincidence?"

Fu Qixiu was immediately choked up by her response before his eyes widened.

"Stop pretending to be clueless. But sister-in-law, what exactly have you done? Why does everything today seem like it’s within your expectations! Based on the few words I, Brother Jie, and grandpa said this morning, there wasn’t much useful information, right?"

"I don’t need that much useful information."

Seeing that Fu Qixiu had guessed it, Su Ran no longer intended to keep hiding.

"Hmm?"

Fu Qixiu and Mo Shangjie exchanged glances, completely baffled.

"I only needed to know that the Fu family wanted that piece of land and that Yan Shuming liked Chu Xiyao. That was enough."

Mo Shangjie’s face showed surprise. "You knew Yan Shuming would be here today?"

Su Ran smiled, her face shrouded in mystery.

"Didn’t the old master say this morning? Yan Shuming has liked Chu Xiyao since he was a child. How could he not be where she is?"

"True, but what exactly have you done? Why would Yan Shuming suddenly challenge you to a contest, even willing to wager that plot of land in Nan City?"

Mo Shangjie blinked, three large question marks materializing above his head.

Su Ran looked nonchalant. "I didn’t do anything, I just changed my personality a little bit."

Changed personality?

Her personality today indeed seemed quite different from usual.

But what does that have to do with what happened today?

Su Ran turned her head to look at the two still confused men and curved her lips slightly.

"It’s a common flaw in men, prideful and self-righteous, assuming they are always correct. Yet, when confronted with a frail and helpless woman who keeps her grievances to herself, they can’t help but overflow with sympathy.

Especially when this woman also happens to be someone they like, their sense of justice surges, and they are willing to give up everything for her! So..."

Realization dawned on Mo Shangjie and Fu Qixiu immediately.

"So, you did it on purpose today? You deliberately targeted Chu Xiyao to embarrass her publicly, all to infuriate Yan Shuming?"

No wonder sister-in-law showed no good face to Chu Xiyao from the moment she walked in.

Su Ran raised her eyebrows. "There is no contrast without comparison. Yan Shuming reveres Chu Xiyao as a goddess, but Chu Xiyao likes your brother.

So when he sees a capricious, unreasonable woman standing beside your brother, tell me, wouldn’t he feel injustice on behalf of his goddess?"

Mo Shangjie and Fu Qixiu’s eyes widened in terror.

How smart is this woman, with an off-the-charts IQ?

She’s so clever that it sends a chill down one’s spine!

She predicted all possible outcomes like a seer and controlled the scene throughout.

Every step was within her anticipation.

Fu Qixiu thought about how Su Ran purposefully went back to change her clothes midway and couldn’t help shivering!

"So, you pretending not to know how to shoot arrows at the beginning was also an act? Just to lure Yan Shuming into challenging you? How did you know he would definitely choose archery?"

Su Ran curled her lips. "This is the Archery Hall. If he doesn’t challenge me to archery, what else could we compete in? Chu Xiyao must have arranged it from the beginning with this in mind."

Fu Qixiu: "..."

He didn’t want to ask anymore. Love quadrangles are too brain-consuming!

"Then sister-in-law, did you know what conditions Yan Shuming would propose?"

Su Ran looked at him with a smirk, playfully saying:

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Uh, well..."

Should he say he wants to know or not?

"It’s nothing more than wanting me to break up with your brother and never show up in front of him again, to facilitate your brother getting together with Chu Xiyao and the like."

Fu Qixiu: "..."

Look at this damned curiosity of his. Why did he have to ask?

Was he tired of living?

"Aren’t you afraid my brother will find out with you being so bold?"

Su Ran grinned, "If you don’t tell, he doesn’t tell, I don’t say, your brother will definitely not find out."

Fu Qixiu: "..."

Mo Shangjie: "..."

My brother (the boss) isn’t a fool!

"Alright, go have fun. I’m going to find your brother!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Shangjie and Fu Qixiu did not follow.

The two looked at each other.

"Hiss... do I feel like the boss is going to be in danger from now on?"

"I think so too!"
