Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 217 - 216: Can’t Tell the King from the Joker

The man who looks exactly like Tan Chengbi, the naked malice on him, is just too obvious.

Yun Ran couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation, thinking that there is no lack of odd characters year after year, but this year seems especially abundant!

She is not someone without a temper. She put up with the Yun Family out of consideration for pros and cons, and she humored Xie Xuzhi for the sake of benefits.

But what reason does she have to endure this ungrateful son of a bitch in front of her?

Yun Ran kicked him squarely in the back, sending him flying and landing face-first in an ungraceful sprawl.

While doing so, she said in a particularly cutting tone, "Idiot, can’t tell the difference between a big king and a small one? Let grandma teach you a lesson on how disaster springs from the mouth!"

Seeing the man’s miserable state now gave Yun Ran a sense of satisfaction. Just as she was about to turn around and leave,

a scolding voice came from not too far away: "How audacious! What are you doing!"

Yun Ran looked in the direction of the voice, to see a stern-faced old geezer staring at her with a ferocious gaze.

His look suggested that Yun Ran had committed some heinous crime, as if he was ready to execute her right then and there.

It’s too bad that Yun Ran’s face was mostly covered except for her eyes, hiding her look of disdain.

The person across from her couldn’t see her facial expression, but had he seen it, that old geezer would definitely be even angrier.

Yun Ran stood carelessly with her arms crossed, slouching as if she didn’t have a care in the world—as if the only thing missing was a wall to lean on, which would make her posture even more disrespectful.

"You saw what I was doing and still ask? Are those eyes just for decoration!"

Those who put on a fearsome air towards her can’t be up to any good—she’s certainly not about to give ground just because someone is older.

Her words immediately infuriated the old man opposite her; he had never come across such an insolent younger generation.

If Yun Ran were a junior in their family, she would have already been dragged off to kneel in the ancestral hall. Of course, a strict family punishment would be inevitable.

"You’ve got some nerve! Do you know who I am?"

"Who you are has nothing to do with me. I don’t eat from your pot or drink your water. Even if you were the Jade Emperor himself, it wouldn’t matter to me~"

Yun Ran actually knew who this person was; wasn’t he just one of the so-called big shots who came along with Xie Xuzhi earlier?

If at first, she had some respect for these few men,

But knowing that they would trip up Xie Xuzhi at any opportunity, she wouldn’t show these people a shred of respect.

What if they have the ability? Nowadays, there are plenty of capable people, and she couldn’t be less bothered by those who rely on their seniority to throw their weight around.

She has done enough exercise for the day and feels quite weak now. It’s time to go back.

Yun Ran turned and headed towards the direction of the ward, completely ignoring the person who had just rebuked her harshly.

Yun Ran’s attitude truly infuriated this old master from the Yi Family. In the Mystical Sect aristocratic family circles, he was considered a person of great esteem and respect.

"How dare you!"

Unfortunately for him, Yun Ran simply ignored him.

As for the man she had just kicked flying, still unable to stand up from the pain, Yun Ran didn’t even spare him another glance.

Listening to the old geezer’s indignant voice, Yun Ran turned her head, her round eyes rolling upwards to the sky.

She cocked her head and retorted, "I actually ’dare’ quite a lot. Oh, by the way, I’m an injured person. Your atrocious behavior towards me just now has seemingly aggravated my injuries.

Later, I’ll have someone send you a list of compensation. If you don’t acknowledge it, I’ll settle the score with your juniors, beat them up every day, and if I don’t make their lives miserable, I’ll take your name~"

If she couldn’t beat the older ones, couldn’t she still handle the younger ones?

At this moment, Yun Ran was showcasing her unruly behavior to the fullest. There was nobody she would not dare to scam unless she chose not to.

Thinking about the fresh income, Yun Ran was in an exceptionally good mood, humming a light tune as she walked back.

Not far away, Xie Xuzhi and several others following behind had all witnessed this scene.

No one noticed the slight smile on Xie Xuzhi’s lips, apparently quite pleased with Yun Ran’s ’misdeeds’ just now.

But then, after hearing the voice of the person behind him, Xie Xuzhi’s face returned to its usual coldness.

"Director Xie, you just stand by and watch your person disrespect their elders?"

"She’s just a temp worker, paid by the job; other matters are not my concern. Besides, do you think it’s appropriate for me to intervene in matters internal to the Mystical Sect that are outside of the Special Administration Bureau’s authority?"

The person who asked the question was immediately silenced by this response; the conflicts between the families of the Mystical Sect and the secular aristocratic families had long been very acute.

It had been hard enough for the Mystical Sect families to force the secular aristocratic families to meddle only in Mystical Sect affairs within the jurisdiction of the Special Administration Bureau.

If he were to ask Xie Xuzhi to handle the conflict between them and Yun Ran today, Xie Xuzhi would certainly seize the opportunity to encroach on the jurisdiction over internal matters of the Special Administration Bureau.

After all, they also do not belong to the internal members of the Special Administration Bureau. Strictly speaking, they are just like Yun Ran, just specially recruited.

The others, silenced by Xie Xuzhi, could only suppress their dissatisfaction: "Director Xie is correct; these are just minor issues, no need for your intervention."

Xie Xuzhi looked at the person who was kicked to the ground and had not gotten up for a long time; there was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.

He was very clear about who Yun Ran is—a person greedy and stingy but with firm principles.

If it were not for the other party provoking her, she would never randomly attack an innocent person.

"You have your tasks, so go ahead, I have business to attend to, I won’t keep you company!"

With that, Xie Xuzhi took his people and turned to leave the hospital.

Several elders could only watch Xie Xuzhi leave, feeling a million kinds of frustration but helpless to do anything. They could only covertly create small stumbling blocks for Xie Xuzhi.

As for anything else, they dare not act, even overt difficulties were prohibited.

However, being suppressed by a younger person like this made none of them look good.

They could only try to find as much leverage as possible. Maybe then, they might have a chance to pull Xie Xuzhi down.

"You say, did Xie Xuzhi’s people hide something this time? The stuff in that underground fort, definitely not just the things for borrowing national fortunes and seeking immortality, I suspect..."

The others pricked up their ears upon hearing this.

They all felt vaguely that Yun Ran and Gu Yuan, who entered first, certainly knew more.

Unfortunately, they have tried countless times over the past few days but have not managed to extract any information from Gu Yuan’s mouth.

If not for the fact that Gu Yuan belonged to the Gu Family, they might have resorted to direct methods by now.
