“I can’t control you anymore.” Tang Yan pressed the space between his eyebrows tiredly. “But if you really want to take the risk, I will protect you.”
Qin Ran sighed and looked out of the window. The sky was blue, but those who had once been her companions could no longer walk under the same sky with her. Her heart was filled with hatred for Phantom, but more than that, she was filled with sorrow and despair.
She just wanted a stable home and hoped that her family and friends would be safe. However, this thought seemed so extravagant.
The waiter knocked on the door. Tang Yan opened the door and walked in with milk tea and cupcakes. “Eat something sweet. Don’t think about those unhappy things.”
Qin Ran picked up the matcha green milk tea and licked the milk foam. Her sad mood seemed to have improved a lot. She sniffed and said, “Don’t worry about me. I’m not that fragile. I still have a lot of things to do. I won’t collapse so easily. Whether it’s the ‘Wolf Pack’ or Phantom, I’m not afraid of them. My hands have been stained with blood for so many years. It’s uncertain who will deal with who.”
Tang Yan smiled and looked at the most outstanding talent that he had personally nurtured. He nodded. “This is what Beautiful Fox should say.” After thinking for a few seconds, Tang Yan said, “It’s not convenient for me to contact you directly in the future. I’ll arrange some people for you. If you need any help, tell me. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
Qin Ran knew how dangerous this operation was, so she didn’t reject Tang Yan’s suggestion. However, she also knew that Tang Yan’s people might not be of much use. After all, she was the ace agent of the National Security Bureau. If the trouble she encountered was so serious that she couldn’t solve it, then others would be even more unable to help.
At this moment, a ridiculous thought flashed across her mind. Perhaps the last thing these people could do was to collect her corpse.
This thought was very negative, but every time Qin Ran went on a mission, she would think of this problem. In their line of work, they lived on the edge of a knife. Their heads were tied to their belts, and it was hard to say if they would fall off one day.
Even someone as powerful as her could not guarantee that she could perfectly solve all the problems every time. She had also been injured in missions and had almost lost her life.
In the past, she was fearless. Even if she died tomorrow, she felt that she was dying for her country and people. That way, her death would be honorable and tragic.
However, her mentality had changed slightly now. She was a little afraid of death. She couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to Mo Chi if she died. He would be very sad, right? After all, he loved her more than anything.
Her heart ached when she thought about how Mo Chi would be sad because of her death. It turned out that loving someone was because she didn’t want to see him sad, let alone for her sake.
“Old Tang,” Qin Ran suddenly said, “I have a favor to ask.”
“Tell me.” Tang Yan looked at Qin Ran in surprise with a puzzled expression.
“If anything happens to me, I mean if”—Qin Ran closed her eyes—”please send more people to protect my husband.”
“Your husband…”
“He’s the heir to Tian Mo Corporation.” Qin Ran’s tone suddenly became gentle. “You should have heard of his name.”
Tang Yan nodded. Qin Ran knew that Tang Yan had already understood what she meant, so she didn’t say anything else.
Although Mo Chi was the heir of the Tian Mo Corporation and definitely had many bodyguards protecting him, the methods of Phantom’s people were extremely terrifying. They could even assassinate the royal heir of a country. Qin Ran was afraid that Mo Chi didn’t have enough people to protect him.
She had already decided to go against Phantom. If anything happened to her, she was worried that Phantom would find trouble with Mo Chi. No matter how powerful Mo Chi was, he was just an ordinary businessman. She was worried about him.
After leaving Jiangyang Hotel, Qin Ran returned home. She took a hot shower and went upstairs.
After Mo Chi returned, the servant said that Qin Ran had returned home more than two hours ago. Mo Chi was a little surprised because according to the schedule, Qin Ran had class in the afternoon. Why did she return home early?
Mo Chi hurriedly took off his clothes and went upstairs. When he pushed open the door of the room, he saw Qin Ran leaning against the goldfish pool. She was in a daze as she threw goldfish feed into the water.
Mo Chi walked quietly to her side, afraid that he would scare her. When he saw Qin Ran’s empty eyes and sad expression, Mo Chi’s heart immediately ached.
