The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

When the speedboat docked at the pier, the splashing water reached a height of two meters.

Lu Ran jumped ashore, pulling his black diving suit all the way up to his chest, revealing lean muscles and a large patch of skin whitened by the seawater.

He tossed his hair, and the fiery red strands exploded in the sunlight, splashing water droplets, like a wild beast shaking its fur after crawling out of the sea.

He didn't bring any backup.

One person, a stolen speedboat, a diving suit, and swam for three whole hours.

At the dock, Zhou Si's bodyguards were already lined up.

Twelve men, dressed in black combat uniforms and wearing tactical headsets, their submachine guns gleaming in the sunlight.

Lu Ran didn't even glance at them.

He jumped off the speedboat, his bare feet landing on the wooden planks of the dock, every muscle in his body taut, ready to pounce and bite someone's throat at any moment.

Water trickled from his trousers, forming a small puddle at his feet.

He bent down, picked up a waterproof bag from the deck, unzipped it, and confirmed that the contents were still there.

It's a bottle of red wine.

He searched the entire capital city for the brand that Li Ruo loved to drink.

He then slung the waterproof bag over his shoulder and looked up at the white villa in the center of the island.

"Brother Ran!"

A henchman poked his head out of the speedboat, his voice trembling:

"Are you sure you don't need me to go with you? Zhou Si's people..."

"go back."

Lu Ran's voice was very calm, as calm as if he were talking about what to eat today.

"But……"

"I said, go back."

The younger brother timidly shrank back.

Lu Ran turned around and walked towards the dock.

He walked barefoot on the scorching hot wooden board, leaving a wet footprint with every step.

The sea breeze dispersed the moisture from his body, revealing the lean yet muscular outline beneath his wetsuit.

The bodyguards raised their guns.

"Mr. Lu!"

The lead bodyguard's voice was stern: "No one is allowed to land on the island without the boss's permission!"

Lu Ran stopped in his tracks.

He looked up at the bodyguard.

The bodyguard was very tall, half a head taller than him, and his shoulders were as broad as a wall.

"You're stopping me?" Lu Ran tilted his head and smiled wickedly.

The bodyguard's finger was on the trigger: "That's an order."

Lu Ran stared at him for a full three seconds.

Then he gave a faint smile that was almost imperceptible.

But his eyes suddenly brightened.

He took a step forward.

The bodyguard pressed the muzzle of his gun against his chest.

"I told you," the bodyguard said in a low voice, "that I didn't have permission—"

"Shoot."

Lu Ran interrupted him, her voice as calm as if she were talking about something completely ordinary:

"Shoot here."

He pointed to his heart.

The bodyguard's fingers froze.

"Kill me."

Lu Ran then gave a sneer that seemed to defy heaven and earth:

"Then when your boss asks you why you killed me, you just say, 'I went to his island.'"

The bodyguard's Adam's apple bobbed.

"If you don't shoot..."

Lu Ran lowered his head, looking at the gun barrel pressed against his chest, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Get out of here."

He reached out, pinched the barrel between two fingers, and gently pushed it aside.

The bodyguard didn't move.

Lu Ran walked past him, his bare feet making soft crunching sounds on the pebbles.

He took two steps, stopped, and glanced back at the bodyguard.

"Oh, right."

He said, "Tell your boss, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm just here to deliver a bottle of wine."

He waved the waterproof bag in his hand, then turned and walked towards the villa.

The bodyguard began reporting into Zhou Si's group through the headset.

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, Brother Ran is online!!!]

Barefoot! Wet hair! Wet suit! This looks like a siren coming ashore!

[He swam for three hours! Three hours! Then he just sprinted a speedboat onto the island!]

That turn-around move was so cool and crazy!!

The bodyguard's fingers were trembling... Lu Ran's aura was too strong!

Zhou Si's base was just raided by Lu Xingzhou, and now Lu Ran is here too...

At the entrance of the villa, six armed bodyguards simultaneously raised their guns.

Lu Ran didn't even glance at them and walked straight ahead.

"stop!"

He didn't stand.

Her red hair fluttered in the wind, and her footsteps trod on the cobblestones, each step feeling like stepping on someone's grave.

The bodyguards' safety catches clicked and clacked incessantly.

"Let him come over."

Zhou Si stood on the steps at the entrance of the villa, a cigarette dangling from his fingers.

The bodyguards made way for them.

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment.

He thought there would be a fight, that Zhou Si would throw punches at him like he did five years ago, and that he would have to draw blood before he could get through that door.

So they just let him in like that?

Lu Ran didn't hesitate for long and strode over.

Zhou Si watched quietly as Lu Ran walked over from the gravel path.

Barefoot, soaking wet, with a cheap waterproof bag slung over his shoulder, he looked like a victim just pulled from the sea.

But he seemed very energetic and ready to fight.

"Ah Si".

Lu Ran stopped at the bottom of the steps, looked up at him, and gave a slight smile:

"have not seen you for a long time."

Zhou Si glanced at it indifferently.

The two looked at each other.

Zhou Si was wearing black tactical boots and dark gray cargo pants, with a black vest stretched across his chest, revealing his two strong and muscular arms.

He was a head taller than Lu Ran, and his shoulders were also a size wider. Standing in the sunlight, he looked like a solid wall.

He put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter, and lit it.

The smoke dissipated in front of him, blurring his outline.

What are you doing here?

"Deliver the wine."

Lu Ran patted the waterproof bag on his shoulder. "It's her favorite drink. I've been looking for it for a long time."

Zhou Si looked at the cheap waterproof bag, at Lu Ran's soaked wetsuit, and at him standing barefoot on the scorching stone road, his feet already blistered.

His Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't answer.

"I'm asking you where they are."

Lu Ran took a step forward, his chest almost touching Zhou Si's chest.

He was a little shorter, but his presence was in no way inferior. The way he looked up at Zhou Si resembled a wolf cub ready to bite at any moment.

"Where is Li Ruo?"

Zhou Si looked down at him, his eyes indifferent.

How far did you swim?

"Four nautical miles, three hours."

Lu Ran wiped the water off his face: "That guy on your island has such a terrible voice, he's like a blind man."

Zhou Si: "Are you out of your mind?"

"What's a life worth?"

Lu Ran's lips twitched, forming a smile that wasn't quite a smile:

"I'm asking you, where is she?"

Zhou Si was silent for a few seconds: "Upstairs."

Lu Ran turned and left.

Zhou Si gripped his shoulder.

Lu Ran reacted as quickly as if he had anticipated it.

He slumped his shoulders, flipped his arm, and thrust his elbow toward Zhou Si's ribs.

Zhou Si dodged to the side, his hand sliding from Lu Ran's shoulder to his wrist, his fingers tightening like iron clamps.

Lu Ran's other hand was already clenched into a fist and swung over.

Zhou Si did not dodge.

The fist grazed his cheekbone, creating a gust of wind, but missed.

His arm went under Lu Ran's armpit, grabbed the back of his neck, and pressed him down.

Lu Ran's knee slammed into the ground with a dull thud.

"open!"

Lu Ran's voice came up from below, muffled, like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on and was panting.

"Have you calmed down yet?" Zhou Si asked.

Lu Ran: "Fuck you, calm down!!!"
