Chapter 929: Chapter 926: Always Cruel

Ye Ranran hugged him tightly in terror. "What happened? Was there an earthquake?"

Jun Mochan let her go and walked onto the balcony. In the distance, thick smoke billowed and flames illuminated half the sky.

Jun Mochan’s expression was grave, his lips tightly pursed.

Ye Ranran followed him outside and was completely terrified by the sight of the towering flames.

"Over there, is that..."

"Stay here, I’m going out for a bit," Jun Mochan told her as he hugged her and patted her head. "Don’t ask too many questions, you know this is not your business, right?"

Ye Ranran knew that this incident was very serious, so serious that it was beyond anything she had ever encountered before. She numbly nodded her head.

As Jun Mochan went downstairs, Grandfather Jun had already come out of his room. He had casually slipped on some clothes but had not yet put on his overcoat, which the servants were frantically trying to help him into.

"Grandfather, I will take care of it," said Jun Mochan.

Grandfather Jun’s gaze was sharp as he nodded. "Be careful after it’s done."

After tonight, peace would no longer exist.

All night, Jun Mochan did not return, and Ye Ranran was restless, waking up frequently.

This morning, she got up particularly early. When she went downstairs, she found One mysteriously waiting below.

"Why are you here?" Ye Ranran’s eyes were a bit hazy.

Seeing her dark circles, One sneered, "Did you go thieving last night?"

Yes, Ye Ranran was about to reply when the TV anchor’s monotone voice announced, "Here is a news update. Around ten o’clock last night, an explosion occurred at the National Energy Bureau. The director and deputy director, along with a group of researchers, were inside. The death toll is heavy, and the exact number of casualties has not been determined yet. Jun Mochan and Song Yu rushed over early, and the fire department arrived within fifteen minutes, followed by Mayor Zhou Xian."

All the relevant bigwigs had gone to the scene.

Jun Mochan had arrived a bit earlier than the Song Family.

The TV showed images of the collapsed site, with flames still breaking out in some areas.

"How could it be destroyed so severely? How could there be an explosion out of nowhere?" Ye Ranran thought it was very strange.

Suddenly, she remembered that Jun Mochan had once mentioned whether to let Chu Ji become the director of the Energy Bureau.

At the time, she didn’t think much of it and assumed the other party wanted to step down, but was it not so now?

Had Jun Mochan foreseen this event? Was it his doing?

Ye Ranran’s face turned deathly pale.

"Madam." One came to her side.

"I’m fine," Ye Ranran put up her hand, covering her chest, trying to calm herself down with effort.

The world had always been cruel; she had always known that, having experienced all kinds of harsh lessons.

Ye Ranran felt that she could handle it, but now she found that she could not.

"Were there any innocent people inside?" she asked.

"I don’t know, but what does it matter whether they were innocent or not? The incident has occurred, and what can you do, Madam? Besides, if we don’t take action today, the Song Family will," said One expressionlessly.

"Sacrifices are inevitable amidst power struggles," One’s voice was even colder.

Casualties were expected on invisible battlefields, let alone such an incident. She realized that remaining uninvolved was simply impossible.

Ye Ranran clenched her fist tightly until her knuckles turned white. After a long while, she squeezed out a phrase through her clenched teeth, "You’re right."

"Madam, don’t look so troubled. If the young master knew, he might feel distressed," said One. Jun Mochan had shielded her from all darkness.

He reserved all the light, the sunshine, for her.

But Ye Ranran was so clever that she figured everything out from his cryptic words.
