129 Getting Close to Me Means Danger

Shi Ran’s body stiffened.

She reached out and pressed her palm against Chu Jinchen’s face, pushing him away. She said righteously, “No.”

Chu Jinchen was a little regretful, but he was not surprised.

He sat back down and looked at her. After a while, he said, “What do you think?”

!!

“Huh?” Shi Ran was puzzled.

Chu Jinchen said slowly, “Actually, Wen Gongliang is not exaggerating. There’s indeed someone hiding in the dark who wants to kill me.”

“Since I was young, as long as it’s something I like, it won’t end well in the end.”

“I like dogs. I had a dog when I was young, but it was killed by a car. After that, I had another rabbit and it was poisoned to death.”

Chu Jinchen said calmly.

However, these words made her heart ache.

At that time, Chu Jinchen was still a child.

Such an action would leave a huge trauma in a child’s heart.

If it was an ordinary child, they probably would not dare to raise pets anymore.

Shi Ran was moved. “So you haven’t had a pet since?”

“No, I started raising tigers after that. Lions.”

Shi Ran: ?

‘Fine.’

She had forgotten that Chu Jinchen’s thoughts were different from ordinary people.

Chu Jinchen pursed his lips. “Getting close to me means danger, so…”

He lowered his eyes and slid his index finger across the table.

Her eyes flickered.

Was Chu Jinchen planning to draw a line with her?

For her safety?

She frowned slightly, not liking the sound of that.

She opened her mouth and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jinchen raised his head and looked at her. His eyes were firm as he said word by word, “So, you have to be mentally prepared, but I believe that with your ability, they can’t hurt you.”

Shi Ran was speechless.

He had overestimated her.

However, compared to drawing a line, she preferred this method.

Seeing that she seemed to be very speechless, Chu Jinchen chuckled.

He asked curiously, “If I say that I’ll draw a line with you, will you agree?”

“I will,” she replied bluntly.

“You’re quite straightforward.” Chu Jinchen’s tone was filled with helplessness.

“I will help you find the person in the dark,” she added.

Chu Jinchen was stunned as surprise flashed across his eyes.

When he looked up, he caught the slyness in her eyes.

He guessed that she was deliberately taking revenge on him for his actions just now.

But still, there was actually a hint of sweetness in his heart.

But soon, he said seriously, “That person hid very well. I haven’t found him after so many years. Although I have clues, I haven’t solved them yet.”

It has yet to be solved?

Shi Ran’s eyes narrowed.

She recalled the first time she went to KT Group, Chu Jinchen and Qiu Yaohang had tested her.

A flash of inspiration.

She asked directly, “So is your search for Ray related to this unsolved clue?”

“Huh?” Chu Jinchen was a little surprised.

He did not expect her to think of Ray from his words.

Although they had always known that she was very smart…

This time was indeed beyond his expectations.

He nodded, not denying it.

However, what surprised Chu Jinchen even more was that there was still more to come.

“You previously said that the kidnapping at the age of 15 was related to that person in the dark?”

Chu Jinchen was immediately interested. “Yes.”

“I remember you saying that this kidnapping was different. You’ve been kidnapped twice, which means that the 13-year-old kidnapping has nothing to do with this person.”

“Yes.” Chu Jinchen’s interest was even stronger.

He did not talk to her about this in depth.

Even when they were mentioned, they were all unimportant information.

He was really curious about what assumptions she could obtain from his few words.

Shi Ran pondered for a moment.

Seeing that Chu Jinchen did not stop her, she continued.

“At the age of 13, it was the first time you were kidnapped. It was after you rejected the engagement with Wen Yufei, so…”

Shi Ran paused.

Chu Jinchen supported his head with a faint smile.

“It’s Wen Gongliang, right?” Shi Ran guessed.

“Why do you think it’s him?” Chu Jinchen asked mysteriously.

“You and Wen Yufei’s engagement is because of an old trickster who said that if you don’t marry Wen Yufei before the age of 30, you’ll die an unnatural death.”

“I guess you resisted quite fiercely at that time so the Chu Family wavered and of course, Wen Gongliang became upset enough to kidnap you.”

“It’s to make the Chu Family, including you, know that if you don’t accept this engagement, you’ll be in danger,” Shi Ran said logically.

In the end, she added, “Of course, this is just my guess.”

Chu Jinchen chuckled, his eyes shining with hidden pride, but he pretended to be calm. “Most likely.”

“Then who do you think this person in the dark is?” Chu Jinchen continued to ask.

Shi Ran picked up her coffee and took a sip. She leaned back in her chair and pondered carefully.

“You’ve been designated as the heir since you were young. There must be many people in the dark who want to get rid of you.”

“Whether it’s the branch family or the direct descendants of the Chu Family, they all want to climb up. And you are naturally a thorn in their side.”

“If they were enemies from other families, they wouldn’t have hidden it so deeply. They are like this not because they were afraid that you would find out, but because they are afraid that the Chu Family would find out.”

“The fortune-teller said that you can bring the Chu Family to greater heights, so getting rid of you is tantamount to telling everyone that he doesn’t want the Chu Family to prosper.”

“Therefore, he can only attack you in secret. Only when you die will he have a chance, but…”

Shi Ran paused.

Chu Jinchen’s gaze followed her.

“How can he confirm that your position will fall on him after you die? There’s only one possibility. He’s a direct descendant of the Chu Family.”

Clap! Clap!

Chu Jinchen clapped his hands, his eyes filled with admiration.

He did not expect her to guess this part correctly.

This was more than what he had expected.

“I have a question,” Chu Jinchen said.

“Shoot.”

“You’ve been raised by the Shi Family since you were young. The Shi Family is just a small family. Why are you so familiar with the open and hidden conflicts in large families?” Chu Jinchen asked.

It was very difficult to understand these things without being involved.

The Shi family was not as large or complicated as the Chu family.

If not for the fact that she knew the disputes in the big families like the back of her hand, she would not have guessed from his few words that the person behind the scenes was a direct descendant of the Chu Family.

“Is there a possibility that I’m just too smart?” Shi Ran blinked and said.

She could not possibly tell Chu Jinchen that she had transmigrated into a book and in her previous life, she was the head of a big family, right?

In her previous life, she was the patriarch of the number one combat family in the Supreme Alliance, a family that relied on their fists to speak.

From the moment she was labeled as the heir, not only did she have to deal with the open competition, but she also had to pay attention to the hidden conflicts.

She had experienced this kind of scene many times.

Every day, she either accepted a person’s challenge or resolved that person’s assassination.

Life could not be too happy.

Of course, Chu Jinchen did not believe her, but he did not ask further.

Everyone had their own secrets, and he respected her privacy.

“I’ve been investigating ever since I returned to the Chu Family. However, the Chu Family is a hundred-year-old family with too many direct descendants. It’s not easy to investigate,” Chu Jinchen said casually.

Shi Ran lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “Someone is protecting the real culprit, right?”
