Despite her young age, Nuwa is actually a cold and ruthless person.

"If you ask me, I definitely won't let him off so easily." Gu Ran calculated the days. "It's not even been a year, and you can't hold back anymore?"

Su Xiaoqiang wasn't some saint either, and said, "He deserves to suffer!"

"What about Grandpa Lü Zhong and Lü Xue'er? What are their opinions?" Gu Ran asked.

Zhang Wanjun said, "They saw through it all long ago, so it doesn't matter. If Lü Yongbin wants to die, then let him die."

The three chatted for a while longer before Zhang Wanjun left, as she had other things to do.

After seeing her aunt off, Gu Ran sat on the sofa, pondering how to bring up the topic with Su Xiaoqiang.

He will then have to disappear for more than a month, unable to contact me daily as usual, and may even be out of contact for a period of time.

Su Xiaoqiang returned from the doorway, suddenly started running, and then leaped up, like a crow trying to jump into Gu Ran's arms.

"Holy crap!" Gu Ran immediately tensed his muscles, prepared to release the force, and stretched out his hands to catch her in mid-air.

"You'd be lucky your husband isn't an ordinary person, otherwise my legs would have been broken by you sitting on them!"

"I only dared to play like this because I knew you were amazing!" Su Xiaoqiang sat on his lap and reached out to pinch his cheek with her slender fingers.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

"You heard that?" Gu Ran was a little surprised. He had noticed that Su Xiaoqiang shouldn't have been eavesdropping.

"I guessed it." Su Xiaoqiang leaned against him, as if she had seen through his thoughts all along. "What mission is it? Where are we going?"

Gu Ran said, "I'm going to see my mother. It will probably take more than a month. I may not be able to contact you every day. I need to hide my whereabouts and may even be out of contact for a while."

"Okay, I understand." Su Xiaoqiang nodded.

Gu Ran looked down at her and saw that she was also staring at him with her charming big eyes.

"Be careful," she said quietly. "You promised me last night that you would be alright."

"Mmm." Gu Ran put his arm around her shoulder and hugged her tightly. "I'll definitely be fine. I might bring my mom back with me then... but..."

"Just what?"

Gu Ran pretended to have a headache: "How should we handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future?"

Su Xiaoqiang immediately grabbed his collar and asked with a smile, "Tell me, if I and your mother fell into the water together, who would you save?"

"I'll save you, keep your baby safe, put your name on the property deed, and buy, buy, buy!"

"What are you saying! I can swim, I don't need you to save me! What do you mean by 'saving the baby'? And the property deed in Shanghai is in my name, I can pay for all the shopping myself!"

Su Xiaoqiang and he were playing around together.

Gu Ran suddenly grabbed her toes and tickled the soles of her feet.

"Ah! You big bad guy!" Su Xiaoqiang tried to struggle, but couldn't break free, so she had no choice but to let him grab her feet.

Her little feet were very soft, with fair skin on the insteps, and her toenails were painted red and had been specially manicured, making them delicate and adorable.

"Were your shoes still damp in the bathroom last night?" Gu Ran held her ankle with one hand and picked up the iPad from a short distance away with the other. "I saw a store downstairs. Pick out a pair and I'll buy them for you later."

"Then why are you grabbing my feet?"

"Taking measurements!" he said, tickling the soles of her feet, making her laugh so hard she couldn't straighten up.

"Honey, I can't take it anymore, please let me go, stop tickling me!" Su Xiaoqiang laughed through her tears, pleading for mercy in a coquettish manner.

Gu Ran leaned forward and gently pecked her lips.

"I'll go open the door." With that, he walked to the door and opened it before the waiter could knock.

"Give it to me. I'll ask you to come back and take it back after we finish eating." Gu Ran took the food cart from the waiter.

The waiter was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Okay, please enjoy your meal."

After closing the door, Su Xiaoqiang sat on the sofa and asked, "Did you just use your superpower to see through things again?"

"I used it by accident. I just wanted to see if you were wearing my underwear..." Gu Ran pushed the food cart to the coffee table and took out all the dishes that Su Xiaoqiang had ordered.

"You big bad guy!" Su Xiaoqiang slapped his butt hard.

Since it was already past 10 a.m., Su Xiaoqiang ordered brunch, which included steak, cake, and Cantonese dim sum.

"Aren't you afraid of eating so many cream cakes and turning into a little piggy?" Gu Ran glanced at it and realized there were three cakes in total.

“I just ordered one piece and thought it was delicious, so I wanted to try a few more,” Su Xiaoqiang said. “I’ll only eat a little bit of each, and you can have the rest.”

Aren't you afraid I'll get so fat I'll turn into a big pig?

Su Xiaoqiang knew he had a big appetite, so she said, "Don't worry, I'll still love you no matter how fat you get."

"Then I'll have to try and see if I can get fat..."

In the hotel, the two enjoyed a cozy and peaceful weekend.

……

On Monday morning, Gu Ran took Su Xiaoqiang to the airport to send her back to Shanghai.

Afterwards, he went to the hospital and visited Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

Nono came once and never came back. She went back to Kassel College with Susie and Zero.

Lu Mingfei became somewhat sullen again.

Fortunately, Gu Ran gave him a PSP to keep him entertained and prevent him from being too bored.

Judging from how he's wrapped up like a rice dumpling, he'll probably need to stay in the hospital for more than a month.

Fingel hasn't left yet; he comes to visit his two junior brothers every day.

Chu Zihang seemed to have regained some of his energy. He stopped staring blankly out the window as before and started reading papers and attending online classes on his laptop.

"Senior brother, shall we go have a chat?" Gu Ran brought over a wheelchair, intending to push Chu Zihang out to get some sun.

"Okay." Chu Zihang did not refuse and let Gu Ran push him after he got into the wheelchair.

The hospital has well-maintained landscaping, with dedicated lawns and flowerbeds, and the scenery is also well-arranged.

Gu Ran remained silent throughout the journey, as did Chu Zihang, because he did not know Gu Ran's purpose in bringing him out.

“Actually, you don’t need to care so much about Ragnarok.” Gu Ran pushed Chu Zihang as they walked through the garden. “Even if you don’t become Hela, there are other ways. Or are you in a hurry to open a certain Nibelungen?”

Chu Zihang was a little confused; he didn't understand what Gu Ran was saying.

Gu Ran didn't care whether he understood or not, and continued, "I can tell you some information, because Odin... perhaps I will meet him at Ragnarok."

"Do you know Odin's identity? Who is he? Tell me where he is!" Chu Zihang asked coldly.

For him, the belief that sustained his life and the meaning of his existence were only one thing: revenge, revenge for his father!

He is now willing to risk everything for this goal.

Chapter 307 Missing Persons Case

Gu Ran said calmly, "Don't be anxious, it won't help. All I can say is that the Secret Party is not a united front, so don't easily trust Norma."

"What I'm about to tell you, don't search for it through Norma, because your search will leave a record that might be known by someone with ulterior motives," Gu Ran continued.

Chu Zihang nodded heavily.

“First of all, Odin will artificially accelerate the process of Ragnarok,” Gu Ran said. “I think you two have already guessed it, the awakening of the Dragon King was all arranged by humans.”

The two of us?

Chu Zihang was a little confused. Was Gu Ran talking to someone else?

He looked around; he was all alone.

Gu Ran continued, "Secondly, Odin's gun was actually in the hands of the Secret Society, but it was later lent out. So... I suspect that there are Odin's people in the Secret Society, and they are very well hidden."

Chu Zihang was stunned again: "Odin's spear... the legendary eternal spear, Gungnir?"

“Odin is different from other dragon kings. I guess he may never have been asleep and has been active in the world all along. We don’t know how much power he has hidden or how much wealth he has accumulated, but organizations like the Secret Society may have been almost completely infiltrated by him.”

“I even have a bold guess that the Secret Party may have been formed by Odin. Of course, I have no evidence for this; it is purely speculation.”

Chu Zihang was shocked by Gu Ran's remarks.

If the Secret Society was founded by Odin, then was the dragon slaying always part of Odin's plan?

"Finally... I'm telling you all this because I want to form an alliance. I think when we face Odin together in the end, we should be able to become friends and fight against a common enemy. My goal is simple: to prevent Ragnarok from coming. As for the war between the new king and the old king, I don't care."

"Are you... talking to me?" Chu Zihang asked, staring at Gu Ran.

Gu Ran looked at him for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Of course, it's just the two of us here. Are there any other people?"

……

Singapore.

Li Tianzhi was originally in the Coast Guard, where he fought against smuggling ships and terrorists at sea.

However, in order to investigate the whereabouts of the Zhang family in Southeast Asia, he resigned from his original position and joined Interpol in Singapore, specializing in investigating human organ trafficking and drug trafficking.

However, in the past year or so, the Zhang family of Nanyang has completely disappeared, and all of their original properties have been sold to others or simply abandoned.

The fact that they would relinquish such a huge benefit so easily suggests that they have even greater benefits waiting for them.

However, he and his Interpol colleagues searched for a long time but still couldn't find any clues, which greatly troubled him.

It was already 9 p.m. when Li Tianzhi got off work and returned to his apartment.

The apartment was deserted, with only him inside. After his fiancée passed away, he never looked for another girlfriend and continued to live alone.

He had no interest in dating until he found the Zhang family's organ trafficking organization in Southeast Asia.

The cold, white fluorescent light was turned on as he cooked noodles in the kitchen. Suddenly, his phone received a text message:

"Hi, would it be convenient for us to meet up today and have a chat? The Avengers."

When Li Tianzhi saw the text message, he paused for a moment, then immediately replied: "Are you in Singapore? We can meet. Where are you?"

"I'm downstairs from your apartment. If you agree, I'll come in from your balcony. Could you please open the French doors on your balcony?"

Li Tianzhi glanced at the balcony, slowly walked over, and opened the French windows.

He glanced around but didn't see anyone.
