Chapter 360: Chapter 356: I, Wen Ran, Am Invincible

After confirming Wen Ran’s identity, the woman sat down, "Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Shao Yuqing."

"My name is Wen Ran."

Shao Yuqing smiled and shook the award certificate and Wen Ran’s admission notice in her hand, "I know."

"Hmm."

Shao Yuqing then became more serious, "Alright, tell me, how did you actually realize these people were acting strangely?"

To be honest, Wen Ran hadn’t really found anything wrong with them.

It’s just...

"It was a feeling."

Wen Ran looked with clear eyes, "I really dislike them. Yeah, when he kept pestering persistently, I already felt very annoyed."

A feeling?

Shao Yuqing stroked her chin, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Anything else?"

"That’s it," Wen Ran replied honestly, "We’re here for college, and we’re bringing children and elders, utterly exhausted.

We definitely wouldn’t want to create trouble."

Kindness is fine, but the priority is to ensure one’s own safety.

But Sun Xiaolian’s words were too ridiculous, what’s this about hugging or not hugging?

Such nonsense.

If she had claimed she was starving to death, Wen Ran might’ve given her a noodle strip to slurp.

Hug her baby?

No way, absolutely not!

Shao Yuqing asked again, "How did you realize Sun Xiaolian and Zhang Zhengquan had drugged your little compartment?"

Wen Ran: "..."

She hesitated for a second, watching as Shao Yuqing’s eyes squinted.

Wen Ran instantly stopped hesitating.

Better them than me.

At this point, there’s no use hiding Songzhu.

Besides, people can bring pigs, cows, and sheep onto the train; there’s no way she should be embarrassed about bringing a squirrel.

"It was this."

Pulling Songzhu out from her collar, Wen Ran admitted sincerely, "It’s very sensitive to smells, and it detected the scent, pulling at my lips, waking me up."

She already had formidable physical prowess, almost inhuman, but asleep, she might have been vulnerable.

But here she was, wide awake!

Waking Wen Ran = invincible.

Shao Yuqing: "..."

Wen Ran noticed that her eye twitched a bit.

Taking a deep breath, Shao Yuqing asked sincerely, "Is this a rat?"

Songzhu, ready to receive compliments: "???"

Its small eyes filled with immense confusion.

Shao Yuqing feared Songzhu hadn’t been sufficiently insulted and added, "It’s well-fed, eating like a little pig."

"Squeak~"

If not for Wen Ran’s quick reflexes, swiftly and accurately grabbing it, Songzhu would’ve certainly jumped onto Shao Yuqing’s face, teaching her a lesson.

You two-legged beasts, open your squinting eyes and see clearly!

I!

Am the super-duper squirrel king!

Yes, add majestic to that!

Very cool.

Holding Songzhu tightly, Wen Ran laughed awkwardly, "Haha, this is a squirrel, not a rat. It’s quite clever.

It can understand humans, like you just now..."

Watching the struggling fat bundle in Wen Ran’s hands, Shao Yuqing fell silent.

Ah, turns out it’s a squirrel.

To be fair, she’s seen quite a few squirrels over the years.

Seen them not a hundred times, but certainly eighty.

Never seen a squirrel as plump as this.

"Sorry," Shao Yuqing apologized sincerely, "It’s your fierce size, I’m sorry, you look different from typical squirrels.

But it does resemble a type of rat I’ve seen before, they’re strong enough to take on cats."

Songzhu: "!!!"

Its dark little eyes sparkled with a strange light.

Turns out, it’s even more formidable than it imagined!

After soothing Songzhu, Shao Yuqing and Wen Ran got somewhat acquainted, then continued asking questions, soon moving on to the rest of the Xiao Family.

While asking questions there, over here the great memory restoration technique began.

Sun Xiaolian, Zhang Zhengquan initially refused to cooperate, then scrambled to spill information, fearing they’d fall behind.

From beginning to end, it took five minutes.

Well, to be precise, four minutes thirty-one seconds.

With accurate information, capturing people was much easier.

Xu Changhe’s emotions collapsed, "My child! What about my child?"

Er Mei trembled, remembering her sister-in-law, so scared she nearly wet herself, "It wasn’t me, really wasn’t me."

"Comrade," the interrogator’s attitude was indifferent, "Now’s not the time to worry about what to do, could you describe the entire process of being drugged to me?"

"I, I..."

Xu Changhe was speechless, Er Mei was even more spineless.

Despite repeated questioning, all they got were meaningless words.

Just fear, still fear.

Interrogator: "......"

With this, how can the work proceed?

Activities quietly continued in the shadows.

Everyone was subdued.

Except one burly man, who made everyone realize the difficulty.

This person stood six foot three, weighed two hundred thirty pounds, sitting there like a large Buddha.

"Such a person, thick-skinned, we’re afraid..."

Not afraid of sacrifice, but worried about injuring innocent people during the capture.

At that point, the situation might become even harder to control.

Wen Ran was eager, "I can handle it!"

Shao Yuqing’s eyes softened, "I know you want to help, but you have to act within your limits. Approaching such a person is like suicide."

Wen Ran seriously, "Aren’t you judging too hastily without verifying?"

"Alright," Shao Yuqing glanced at her subordinate, "Zhang Ping, you go."

"Yes!"

The man stood five-foot-eleven, weighed one hundred fifty.

He stepped forward, hadn’t even thought about how he’d spar with Wen Ran when she already moved.

A low sweeping kick, Zhang Ping felt his stance drop, unsteady, thought for sure he would fall.

Yet...

He seemed to hover steadily in mid-air.

Shao Yuqing: "...???"

Seeing Wen Ran lifting Zhang Ping, her excited eyes sparkling.

Perhaps sometimes, she had to put her biases aside when judging people.

Such a person is unbelievably capable.

At that moment, Shao Yuqing’s mind was filled with, recruit!

Recruit! Must recruit!

Yet Wen Ran had no idea that her brief kindness today would add so much color to her future life; she only knew that when her daughter grew up, roaming the world on missions, it inevitably tied back to today’s events!

Heaven help.

She shouldn’t be deceived by Shao Yuqing’s beauty, otherwise, how come her daughter ended up bound to this for life.

Regret!

...

"Plop~"

A water droplet fell.

Shan Ta opened his eyes slightly, cautiously scanned his surroundings.

He didn’t detect anything unusual.

Yet, he felt a creeping unease.

As if something was slipping out of his control.
