Chapter 180: I haven’t been clamoring for my daughter lately
"Then let's do it now..." Ji Ran just started to speak.
Qi Mu's eyes flickered, and he blurted out, "Chi Tao is here."
Ji Ran was stunned, a look of confusion rising on his frail, pale face: "What is she doing here at this time?"
As soon as the words fell, Chi Tao's anxious shouting came from outside the window:
"Professor Ji! Professor Ji! Are you home?"
The next second, the door on the first floor was slightly opened.
A cold face appeared between the two doors, "What?"
"Why is your phone always turned off?!" Chi Tao couldn't help but complain loudly, "You made me worry to death!"
Ji Ran was stunned, then he remembered that his cell phone seemed to have run out of battery and had not been turned on since he ran away from Jiang Baishen's house the day before yesterday.
"I forgot to charge it."
Although Ji Ran spoke with confidence, he still touched his neck unnaturally, turned around and walked towards the sofa.
Seeing this, Chi Tao immediately followed in and cursed, "Isn't there anyone who doesn't charge for several days?"
Ji Ran picked his ears, sat down on the sofa, picked up the steaming cup of water in front of him, brought it to his mouth and took a few sips.
Chi Tao sat down next to her shortly afterwards, and seeing that she looked nonchalant, she was so angry that she wanted to grab her face.
But when you look closely, you can see that the dusk reflected from the door hinge falls on her face, which is pale and a little broken.
"Why do you look so bad?!" Chi Tao screamed and reached out to touch Ji Ran's forehead. Her angry tone instantly turned anxious, "Ah! Why is it so cold?!"
Ji Ran's body was so cold that it looked like a corpse. Chi Tao's heartbeat soared in fear. She subconsciously took out her phone and wanted to call 120.
"Hurry up and go to the hospital for a check-up!"
The next second, the phone was unexpectedly confiscated by Ji Ran.
"Oh, no..." Chi Tao looked at Ji Ran anxiously.
"What are you doing here?" Ji Ran frowned, with an expression of 'so annoying' written all over his face.
"Of course I came here... um..." Chi Tao started to argue without thinking, but she couldn't think of anything for a moment and got stuck.
"Oh! I'm here because of Zeng Yichen."
"Zeng Yichen?"
Ji Ran was startled, his eyes sank for two seconds, and then as if he had locked onto a target in his mind,
"Oh, what happened to Zeng Yichen?"
When Chi Tao saw this, she felt too helpless to complain and even wanted to laugh.
It turns out that Young Master Zeng is really a clown. He loves Professor Ji unilaterally to the point of being desperate, but Professor Ji still needs two seconds to think about his name.
"Cough cough..."
Chi Tao coughed twice and returned to the topic.
"He seems to have made some discoveries. He told me to be careful recently, saying that he discovered someone trying to harm you. I guess he found some evidence. Should we talk to him?"
Ji Ran was a little surprised, and his eyes narrowed with a hint of danger.
As a member of the Zeng family, even if he discovered some secret of the Zeng family, would he sincerely tell her about it to someone who was regarded as an enemy by his relatives?
Don't be a fraud~
Chi Tao saw her worry, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke to defend Zeng Yichen:
"I don't think he's as bad as his family."
As he spoke, Chi Tao recounted the entire conversation between him and Jiang Manxi in the office that day.
"I think he must be in great pain right now, but precisely because of the pain, it means that he may be somewhat trustworthy." Chi Tao analyzed.
Ji Ran raised his eyebrows and tapped the wall of the cup with his fingers.
She didn't think Zeng Yichen was that bad, but he was too stupid and too easy to be used, so she was not sure if there was anyone behind his rash surrender or monitoring him.
But since there are clues, we can't let them go. It's better to have chess pieces appear than to be in a continuous stalemate. It depends on who has better chess skills.
"Talk." Ji Ran uttered a word lightly.
Chi Tao nodded after receiving the instruction, took the phone back from Ji Ran, and prepared to send a message to Zeng Yichen: "Then I will ask him to go to school now."
"10 o'clock in the evening." Ji Ran interrupted, "I have something to do now."
"Something?" Chi Tao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ji Ran and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"
Ji Ran rolled his eyes at her and said, "Private matter."
"Private matter?" Chi Tao looked surprised.
These two words are not strange when applied to others, but it is very strange when applied to her, Ji Ran.
This little girl usually never leaves the house and her social circle is so small. Could there be any private matters that Chi Tao doesn't know?
Chi Tao opened her mouth and said speechlessly, "What private matters can you have..."
Suddenly she seemed to remember something and looked around slyly.
"Eh? Where's the ghost brother-in-law?"
To be honest, she almost forgot about this real ghost who appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
After looking around and not seeing the ghost brother-in-law, I thought about asking him about it.
Who knew that the next second, she was pulled out by Ji Ran again and stuffed into her own car.
"Eh...?" Chi Tao looked bewildered. She lowered the window and watched Ji Ran turn around and go back to the yard. As she stepped over the threshold, Chi Tao suddenly shouted:
"Remember to charge your phone!"
"Goodbye."
Ji Ran turned around and ruthlessly closed the gate.
This stinky Chi Tao always calls me ghost brother-in-law, ghost brother-in-law. It’s okay if he mentions the word “brother-in-law”, but she has to mention the word “ghost”. It annoys her to death.
"Why is that silly girl suddenly angry again?" Chi Tao scratched his neck in confusion.
However, seeing that night was about to fall, she had no objection to leaving and started the car.

Qin's Building.
Qin Wenzhou has been very quiet recently and rarely goes home. He is immersed in work every day, either flying around the world or buried in a pile of documents at his desk.
The market value of the Qin family doubled again in a short period of time, directly crushing the Jiang family and monopolizing the economic lifeline of Jinghua City.
Even Jiang Sheng called to scold me.
Yin Li had dark circles under his eyes and felt a headache just looking at his CEO.
In addition to having his boss's ability to make money severely pushed his cognitive limit, he was also really exhausted.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this boss. He hasn’t been shouting about looking for his daughter recently.
He had gone to great lengths to find the world's top cardiologists, but he casually said they were not needed and arranged for a special plane to send them back.
"Snapped!"
Qin Wenzhou threw the document he had just signed in front of Yin Li without even looking up.
Yin Li walked forward respectfully and prepared to take it away.
"Let the Ministry of Justice prepare for the meeting." Qin Wenzhou said.
Yin Li was slightly taken aback, wondering how serious a matter it would be to call a meeting of the entire Legal Department. He wondered which financial alliance was about to suffer a major disaster.
"Yes, Mr. Qin." Yin Li replied and prepared to go out to carry out the order.
"And," Qin Wenzhou suddenly spoke again.
Yin Li quickly straightened up, "Yes, Mr. Qin, your instructions."
