The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 150 Only She Is an Outsider

"no!"

Gu Yuan was still reeling from the shock of his impending doom when he heard that Yun Ran planned to go alone.

All emotions were instantly wiped away at that moment, and he immediately reverted to his shrewd and capable self.

“If you insist on going, the others can turn back, but I’m definitely going with you.”

Gu Yuan actually wanted to say that since they knew it was dangerous, they should just cancel the meeting. So what if the Zhao family was involved? So what if they were the richest family in South China? What's wrong with not giving Zhao Mingzhu face? She can't bite anyone!
But after thinking about it, since the other party had already set up a trap and was waiting, if it didn't work this time, they would come again next time. You can't guard against thieves every day.

Yun Ran slightly raised her eyelids, glanced at Gu Yuan's face with its mixed aura, and directly refused.

"You're Xie Xuzhi's confidant, and the Gu family's precious darling. If you get stuck on such a lowly matter because of me, I'm afraid you'll be ground to dust."

Gu Yuan: ...

He's really good too, how can you be so sure he'll definitely win?
Those who follow the mystical arts are most skilled at defying fate and changing destiny.

Yun Ran wasn't going to argue with Gu Yuan about these things. She directly called Xie Xuzhi and asked him to withdraw everyone.

Xie Xuzhi had promised Yunran that he would not interfere in the feud between her and the Zhao family.

Hearing that the Zhao family had set a trap for Yun Ran, he realized that this had crossed his bottom line.

"Did you hear what I told you? Withdraw all your men, so they don't die in something so pointless."

As members of the Special Administration Bureau, these people had long been prepared for the day when they would have to sacrifice themselves.

But that was for the sake of the mission, not because I was inexplicably implicated by Yun Ran.

Hearing Yun Ran so clearly understand her status, Xie Xuzhi's anger gradually dissipated.

"It seems you're confident you can escape unscathed. Fine, I'll bring everyone back."

Yun Ran's call was on speakerphone, and Gu Yuan clearly heard Xie Xuzhi's words. He was also surprised to learn that his boss and Yun Ran got along in this way.

"You can leave once you've taken me to my destination!"

If she weren't under 18 and unable to drive, she would have made Gu Yuan get out of the car right now.

Gu Yuan may seem silly and unreliable, but when something really happens, he is more reliable than anyone else.

After dropping Yunran off at the entrance of a private club owned by the Zhao family, Gu Yuan did not leave but waited nearby.

For the first time, he even used the Gu family's resources in South China, so that he could provide support to Yun Ran if necessary.

Yunran followed the club's waiter directly to the third floor.

Listening to the waiter's enthusiastic introduction of the place's special features, and the fact that the third floor does not accept any guests except for super VIPs invited by the Zhao family.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be flattered, but Yunran remained indifferent.

The waiter was also perceptive; he glanced at Yun Ran's expression and knew that this seemingly naive young girl was no ordinary person.

These external vanities held no appeal for her, and she immediately changed the subject, bringing up today's special dish.

Upon reaching the third floor, Yunran realized that the floors below and this third floor were completely different worlds.

The two lower floors are extremely luxurious, with original famous paintings hanging everywhere on the walls, as well as many antique ornaments.

If someone didn't know better, they'd probably think they'd come to a museum instead of a private club for eating, drinking, and having fun. The third floor was even more extraordinary; right there, there was a wall made of neatly stacked gold bricks.

It does illustrate what it means to be both vulgar and refined.

There were no more famous paintings on the walls of the third floor, but the walls were all openwork, and bulletproof glass was embedded in the openwork.

Inside were the Zhao family's own treasures, including exquisite jewels, illuminated by spotlights that made their brilliance shine into people's hearts.

People with poor self-control are likely to be tempted by even a hint of greed.

The other glass cases also contain treasures of collector's value, which are on a completely different level compared to the famous paintings and antiques on the first and second floors below.

No wonder only those invited by the Zhao family can go up to the third floor; isn't this a perfect way to show the invitees the Zhao family's profound wealth and influence?

[Host, Zhao Mingzhu has set a trap for you. Why did she bring you here? These treasures look very valuable. Isn't she afraid that you'll destroy them when you retaliate?]

"Who knows? Maybe they're overconfident, thinking they can take me down easily and that a fight won't even break out."

The ginseng fruit immediately offered three seconds of silence for those who hadn't even met yet; those who underestimated its host would probably suffer greatly.

We've reached the end; we've finally arrived.

The waiter pushed open the door, and the private room was ridiculously large; it even felt like your voice would echo when you spoke inside.

Such a large space, with only one table placed in the middle.

Yun Ran stepped inside, but the scene before her eyes suddenly changed.

What she saw now was no longer an empty private room, but a picturesque mountain forest that seemed to cleanse one's soul.

The sounds of birdsong even filled the air, making the scene seem even more real.

Yun Ran's lips curled up slightly. This show of force was a bit too gentle. With such a beautiful setting, was she sure it could scare her?
If you want to scare her, you have to create a scene like those zombie blockbusters from abroad.

Yun Ran raised her hand, and a crisp snap of her fingers suddenly rang out. Everything that had just been in front of her vanished in an instant.

Instead, there were now four people sitting at the table in the middle of the private room, one of whom was Zhao Mingzhu.

The remaining three were all dressed in black robes, made of a similar material to the group of people they had seen on the cruise ship.

Yun Ran paused for a moment, then smiled and walked directly toward the table.

"So Sister Zhao invited more than just me."

Zhao Mingzhu had thought Yun Ran would embarrass herself, but to her surprise, she broke the illusion so easily.

When Ling Buqu created this illusion, even someone as resolute as her was trapped inside for half an hour.

Being there makes you forget all your troubles, as if you're really on vacation, and your mind is completely blank.

It seems that her assessment of Yun Ran's abilities was far from her full potential.

Immediately, the look in Yun Ran's eyes was one of blatant fear. Such a capable person could not be used by her and could not be kept alive!
"No, you are the only guest I invited today."

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, clearly understanding Zhao Mingzhu's unspoken meaning: here, she was the only outsider, and everyone else was an accomplice.
