The sudden ringing of the phone made everyone in the living room feel ominous.
Qin Ran waved his hand to Eckerd who was about to answer the phone, and walked towards the phone himself.
"Hello."
"Your Excellency 2567, I'm very glad that the first thing I heard was your voice."
"It saves me unnecessary trouble and, moreover, no time wasted."
"You must have roughly guessed my purpose."
"So… "
"Are you willing to save Officer Mei Huasheng?"
Qin Ran picked up the phone, and a voice with an altered voice came through the receiver. He couldn't tell the age, or even tell the difference between male and female.
What is there is sharp and harsh.
Qin Ran didn't ask who you are, but gestured to Gebauer calmly.
The latter nodded slightly and disappeared into the living room.
The other party was able to grasp Lin An's whereabouts so accurately. After the other party entered the villa, he called here on the phone. Qin Ran did not believe that the other party was a prophet.
Track, monitor.
There must be one of the two.
Or, do both.
In fact, it was just as Qin Ran guessed.
Gebauer spotted the stalker almost as soon as he left the room.
After all, the other party was just standing in the pouring rain wearing a raincoat.
The moment he saw Gebauer, the stalker lifted up the corner of his raincoat. After seeing something hidden below, Gebauer, who was about to launch an attack, immediately stopped and pressed the alarm on his body.
No sirens.
But the vibration was transmitted to the mobile phones of every bodyguard, Eckerd, and makeup artist.
Along with the vibration, there is also a text prompt
bomb!
Seeing this prompt, Eckerd immediately raised his phone to Qin Ran as a signal.
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes, and the voice next to his ear spoke again.
"It seems that you have received the gift I prepared for you in 2567."
"Now, let this emissary of mine enter the room."
"After all, the rain in Yucheng is icy cold."
"Don't doubt, the bomb I planted on him is enough to level the villa where you are, including you naturally."
"Or, you think you can hide in that basement of yours?"
"I look forward to your choice."
The voice paused deliberately, as if to give Qin Ran time to think.
But Qin Ran didn't hesitate at all, and directly signaled to one of Gebauer's subordinates.
He believed that the other party would not joke.
Or to be more precise, the other party didn't need to joke at all.
The explosive on the opponent's envoy must be able to raze the surrounding area to the ground.
If possible, Qin Ran really wanted to stay away from here as soon as possible, but in the entire villa, except for him who was somewhat sure of escaping, the rest of the people would surely die.
Regardless of whether it was Eckerd or Lin An, once he died, it would cause him great trouble.
Eckerd has long been an integral part of his plan.
Lin An
The identity of the other party is the biggest trouble.
He doesn't have any more time now, so he has to do it all over again.
Gebauer retreated slowly to the living room of the villa, and the messenger in black raincoat walked in step by step.
Drops of water dripped along the raincoat and onto the ground at the door.
When the other party took off the hood, a pale middle-aged face appeared in Kieran's line of sight. The other party's lips trembled with fear on his face.
He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but immediately thought of something and closed his mouth firmly.
Without Qin Ran's reminder, Lin An had already started investigating the identity of the person in front of him.
"Wise choice."
"Meet my messenger?"
"Then let's continue the previous topic, would you like to save Officer Mei Huasheng?"
The voice in the earpiece continued, but Kieran's eyes turned to the 'messenger'.
The other party took out a similar small video camera from the raincoat.
It's not a dv, it's smaller and more compact.
"oh."
"Are you paying attention to my messenger?"
"What he holds is also a gift for you."
"I know you are used to being in front of the camera, so I have provided you with a corresponding environment."
"certainly!"
"The audience is the same as before."
The owner of the voice in the earpiece spoke immediately the moment Kieran looked at the 'messenger'.
"Digressions are always annoying."
"I'm asking Your Excellency 2567 once, are you willing to save Officer Mei Huasheng?"
"willing."
"She's not a bad person, she's my acquaintance."
Facing another question from the other party, Qin Ran answered almost without hesitation, with a calm face and flat eyes, as if what he said was the truth.
Lin An, who was investigating the identity of the 'messenger' looked up in astonishment.
He clearly remembered Qin Ran's categorical rejection before.
After a period of contact and investigation, Lin An already knew that Qin Ran was not someone who would compromise just because he was threatened by others.
This is true even when it is life-threatening.
The popularity of the "Psychic" column has attracted many people who like it, but there are also people who hate it. Some extreme guys have issued death threats more than once.
And as the person in charge of the police, he persuaded Qin Ran more than once to "take a break" for a day or two, giving them enough time to catch those guys.
'Let them come. '
This is Qin Ran's answer.
Lin An still remembers Qin Ran's eyes and expression similar to now when he said this sentence.
Could it be that Mei Huasheng is different
Lin An shook his head the moment such thoughts rose from his mind.
Do not make jokes!
Mei Huasheng is good-looking, and it is acceptable in the relationship of colleagues, but with such a character, in the relationship of friends or closer lovers
Ten men out of ten hate.
His legs were broken, and he had to crawl to escape.
With Qin Ran's current reputation, there is definitely a better choice than Mei Huasheng.
not to mention…
Thinking of some rumors, Lin An involuntarily glanced at the make-up artist, feeling more and more puzzled in his heart.
And the miniature video camera in the hands of the 'messenger'
Lin An saw it.
But Lin An didn't think about that at all.
The same goes for everyone else.
They all looked at Qin Ran with a little doubt, wondering why Qin Ran made such a choice.
Qin Ran's performance was too real.
He fooled everyone.
He showed everything about being a 'psychic', but not his true purpose.
Although the latter is his real goal, everyone is attracted to the former. The most convincing thing is that he has never participated in any program or activity other than "Psychic".
Naturally, Qin Ran did this on purpose.
Not only because he doesn't want people to grasp the real purpose, but also because...the 'income' from those programs and activities is too little.
Qin Ran is well aware of how strong the attraction brought by 'mystery' is, sacrificing the 'personality' he set for himself for one or two exposures, that is not worth the candle, drinking poison to quench thirst.
clap clap.
There was applause from the receiver.
"I knew my choice was right."
The other party said a double meaning.
"Now, please give my 'messenger' a car, and he will drive you to a place."
"Remember, you can only come alone."
"If I find anyone else, I will detonate the bomb immediately."
"besides… "
