Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 271 - 270: Seizing by Force?

Yun Ran had just finished her soup when a knock at the door came from the hospital room, and Gu Yuan’s eyes immediately turned fierce and malevolent.

The Northwest Branch’s recent incident had angered him so much that he even misplaced his anger onto innocent people.

Yun Ran glanced at Gu Yuan and didn’t expect his angry expression to be so intimidating, it even made her a bit scared.

As soon as Jiang Ming entered, he saw Gu Yuan’s eyes that seemed to want to tear him apart, making his skin tighten all over.

But he really had a reason he couldn’t avoid coming, so he could only brace himself and smile at Gu Yuan: "Gu Chu, I..."

Gu Yuan instantly shot a glare at him, and even though Jiang Ming was the person in charge of the Mobile Team and one of their own, he just couldn’t stand the sight of anyone right now!

"Didn’t you hear what the doctor said earlier, that Ranran was near death and needed special care?"

This was the first time Yun Ran had seen Gu Yuan giving so little face to a colleague.

He looked as if he was a senior uncle disciplining those junior brothers and sisters who were reckless and seeking death.

Yun Ran immediately retracted her head, lest Gu Yuan, while scolding, inadvertently included her too.

Gu Yuan was certain that Jiang Ming came to find Yun Ran; had he come to find him, he wouldn’t have been so displeased with Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming always had the final say within the Mobile Team, but he was really intimidated by Gu Yuan.

After all, Gu Yuan had been with Director Xie for a long time and had picked up a lot of Director Xie’s momentum, making Jiang Ming feel a physiological dread at the sight of Gu Yuan’s stern face.

Jiang Ming’s feet were eager to leave the hospital room.

But his body had stopped itself firmly in place, and he took out the communication device exclusive to the Special Administration Bureau and handed it to Gu Yuan.

A friend for a pinch is no friend at all, and then he ran off like a wisp of smoke.

Gu Yuan: ...

Ginsengfruit looked at the fleeing Jiang Ming and then at the even darker-faced Gu Yuan.

And felt some sympathy for its host: [Host, that Jiang Ming is completely disloyal, after causing trouble together, he just left you behind.]

Yun Ran also thought Jiang Ming was utterly shameless!

Now, Gu Yuan’s anger wasn’t directed at her, it was only because she was still a patient. Once she was up and bouncing around, she was bound to be scolded.

Yun Ran immediately closed her eyes; anyway, no matter who came now, she was a patient and had nothing to do with anything!

Gu Yuan turned his head and was almost laughed by the annoyance, not afraid of death when it was time but now afraid of being scolded!

But in the end, he restrained himself and took the communication device out of the hospital room.

As the door of the hospital room closed behind him, Yun Ran finally opened her eyes and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Ginsengfruit, tell me everything that happened while I was unconscious!"

Soon, Yun Ran learned about the events of the past few days; the Black Robed People were sent directly to the Special Administration Bureau headquarters in Capital City by special aircraft.

The entire Northwest Branch, except for Lan Jushi and the minibus driver, who did not make it back, the rest of the people, though severely injured, were at least out of danger.

The aftermath of the Illusion was taken over by another inspection department of the Special Administration Bureau, and even participants like Yun Ran had no authority to inquire.

The remaining issues were taken over by Gu Yuan’s side.

As far as the current situation was concerned, Yun Ran was just a convalescing idler.

"Lan Jushi and that driver didn’t make it back?"

[Yes, Host, they were too heavily tainted with Evil Qi, and having been hurt in vital areas while trapped in the Illusion, they didn’t last until the outbreak of your sacrifice of the Merit Golden Light and the Power of Purification.]

Yun Ran’s expression suddenly became somewhat dispirited; even the big shots couldn’t escape the fate of sacrifice.

Gu Yuan found an empty room and opened the communication device.

The person on the other side of the device received the signal and, thinking that the person at the other end was Yun Ran, did not bother with pleasantries.

They directly said, "Comrade Yun Ran, if your physical condition allows, we need you to provide the technique of the Power of Purification..."

"I am Gu Yuan, as Yun Ran’s superior’s superior, I categorically refuse your request! If you have any complaints, you can directly complain to Director Xie!"

After speaking, Gu Yuan turned off the communication device, and as for what the other side was feeling now, he didn’t care at all.

No faction can be a one-man show, and the Special Administration Bureau is no exception. Some people previously cared about saving face, but now they’ve stopped caring altogether.

But even after clearly rebuffing the other party, Gu Yuan was still very angry, cursing under his breath.

"What a bunch of crap, thinking that since Yun Ran has no sect background they can forcibly seize her magic, do they really think I’m a pushover!"

Thinking of some people’s despicable faces, Gu Yuan opened the room door, heading straight for Zhongli Yuanjing’s hospital room.

Zhonglisu was lucky, saved by Yun Ran before being dismembered, and now he only had some superficial injuries and was diligently taking care of the injured.

Seeing Gu Yuan from afar, Zhonglisu immediately came over to greet: "Gu Chu, why have you come, is there something you need?"

"I need to talk to the senior."

Zhonglisu immediately understood Gu Yuan’s meaning; he was asked to step out.

"Okay, I’ll go prepare food for the Clan Elders and the other seniors."

Zhongli Yuanjing’s injuries were lighter, and his spirits were fair. Seeing Gu Yuan’s unhappy expression, he vaguely guessed something.

Gu Yuan did not hide it and spoke directly: "The people from the review department want Yun Ran’s Power of Purification!"

Now as the head of Secretary Xie Xuzhi’s office, Gu Yuan’s remarks are certainly not just about standing up for Yun Ran.

Zhongli Yuanjing obviously understood the deeper meaning in his words, and his previous guess was confirmed, letting out a light sigh.

Most people in the review department sided with the Mystical Sects, and were opposed to the emerging faction led by Xie Xu.

Normally, when there’s nothing at stake, everyone lives peacefully, but once it involves some benefit disputes, they’d like nothing more than to flip the roof.

If it was before, Zhongli Yuanjing would not take sides with anyone.

Although their Zhongli Family was a Mystical aristocratic family, their family’s talents had been lacking for quite some time.

They’d already begun looking for other paths, with the museum he now occupies being one of the Zhongli Family’s alternatives.

Apart from missions that must be undertaken, they rarely got involved with the Special Administration Bureau’s internal affairs.

But now it’s different, Yun Ran saved him and Xiao Su; it’s just impossible to watch others forcibly exploit Yun Ran.

"The Zhongli Family will vote against."

Gu Yuan got the answer he wanted, and eyes that had never ceased to be angry finally showed satisfaction.
