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

Chapter 217: Can't tell the difference between the big and small kings
This man, who looks exactly like Tan Chengbi, exudes such blatant malice that it's all too obvious.

Yunran was so angry she laughed. There are always weirdos every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual!
She's not someone without a temper. She tolerated the Yun family before because she weighed the pros and cons, and she tolerated Xie Xuzhi because she wanted to gain benefits.

Why should she tolerate this ungrateful bastard in front of her?

Yun Ran kicked the man in the back, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

She coldly added, "Idiot, can't you tell the difference between the king and the queen? I'll teach you what it means to have trouble with your words!"

Seeing the man's miserable state, Yun Ran felt relieved and was about to turn and leave when...

A shout came from not far away: "How dare you! What are you doing!"

Yun Ran looked in the direction of the sound and saw a stern-faced old man staring at her with a sinister gaze.

They looked as if Yun Ran had committed some heinous crime and they were about to execute her on the spot.

Unfortunately, Yunran's face was now completely covered, with only her eyes showing, concealing her disgusted expression.

The person opposite her couldn't see her expression; otherwise, that old geezer would have been even angrier.

Yun Ran stood with her arms crossed, looking quite nonchalant. It was only because there was no wall for her to lean against that her posture was even more unruly.

"You saw what I was doing, and you're still asking? Are those eyeballs just decorations?!"

What good could someone be who treats her so fiercely? She wouldn't give in to him just because he's older.

These words immediately enraged the old man opposite him; he had never seen such a rude junior.

If Yunran were a junior member of their family, she would definitely have been dragged to kneel in the ancestral hall by now, and of course, she would have received a beating from the family.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you? What do I care? I don't eat from your pot, nor have I drunk a drop of your water. Even if you're the King of Heaven, it's none of my business."

Yun Ran actually knew this person; wasn't he one of those so-called big shots who had come with Xie Xuzhi before?

At first, she did show some respect to these people.

But knowing that they would find any opportunity to trip up Xie Xuzhi, it was no wonder she couldn't give them a friendly look.

So what if someone is capable? There are plenty of capable people these days. She wouldn't bother with those old fogies who just rely on their age.

She's had enough exercise for today; she's still very weak and needs to go back.

Yun Ran turned and headed towards the ward, completely ignoring the person who had just yelled at her.

Yun Ran's attitude really angered the old man of the Yi family. He was a highly respected figure in the Xuanmen family.

"presumptuous!"

Unfortunately, Yunran completely ignored her.

As for the man she had just kicked away, who hadn't been able to stand up for a long time due to the excruciating pain, she didn't even give him a second glance.

Hearing the old man's furious voice, Yun Ran turned her head, her round eyes rolling back in her head.

He tilted his head and replied, "I'm still on my five-star list. Oh, right, I'm injured now. Because of your terrible behavior towards me earlier, I feel my injuries have worsened. Later, I'll have someone send you a compensation list. If you don't accept it, I'll settle accounts with your descendants, beat them up every day, and if I don't teach them a lesson, I'll change my surname to yours!"

If she can't beat the older one, can't she beat the younger one?

Yun Ran was now displaying her shameless behavior to the fullest extent; there was no one she couldn't extort, only people she didn't want to extort.

Thinking about the new income, Yunran was in a very good mood, humming a cheerful song as she walked back.

Not far away, Xie Xuzhi and several people following behind him witnessed this scene.

No one saw that Xie Xuzhi's lips curled up slightly, clearly pleased with Yun Ran's 'misdeeds'.

But then, upon hearing the voice from behind him, Xie Xuzhi's face returned to its previous coldness.

"Director Xie, is it disrespectful to look at your people like that?"

"She's just a temporary worker, paid according to her tasks. The rest is not my responsibility. Besides, do you think it's appropriate for me to interfere in matters of the Xuanmen that are not within the Special Administration Bureau?"

The person who asked the question was immediately silenced by this question. The conflict between the Xuanmen aristocratic families and these secular families had long been very sharp.

The two sides have been arguing about a boundary issue. Finally, the talents of the Xuanmen families forced these outside families to interfere in Xuanmen affairs within the jurisdiction of the Special Administration Bureau.

If he were to ask Xie Xuzhi to resolve the conflict between them and Yunran today, Xie Xuzhi would definitely seize the opportunity to begin encroaching on the boundaries of matters outside the Special Administration Bureau.

Since they weren't part of the Special Administration Bureau either, strictly speaking, they were the same as Yun Ran, just specially transferred.

The others, silenced by Xie Xuzhi, could only suppress their dissatisfaction: "Director Xie is right, it's just a small matter, there's no need for you to get involved."

Xie Xuzhi looked at the person who had been kicked away and fallen to the ground, who hadn't gotten up for a long time, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

He knew Yun Ran very well; although she was greedy and stingy, she was a person of great principle.

She wouldn't casually attack an innocent person unless they had provoked her.

"You guys go ahead and do what you need to do. I have other things to do, so I won't keep you company any longer!"

With that, Xie Xuzhi turned and left the hospital with his men.

The old men could only watch Xie Xuzhi leave. Even though they were extremely unhappy, there was nothing they could do. All they could do was secretly try to trip Xie Xuzhi up.

As for other matters, they dared not touch them, not even openly cause them trouble.

However, being suppressed like this by a young man, none of them looked too good.

They can only try to find some leverage against Xie Xuzhi so that they might have a chance to bring him down.

"Do you think Xie Xuzhi's men are hiding something? The things in that underground fortress are definitely more than just things that borrow the nation's fortune to seek immortality. I suspect..."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately perked up their ears.

They all had a vague feeling that Yun Ran and Gu Yuan, who were inside first, definitely knew more.

Unfortunately, despite their numerous attempts to probe Gu Yuan over the past few days, they were unable to extract any information from him.

If Gu Yuan weren't a member of the Gu family, they might have resorted to direct measures.
