Chapter 643: Gu Lan Has Arrived in Person
The young man faced this sudden attack, his body also adopting a combat stance.He brought his arms together in the middle, blocking Zhao Jue's punch, then quickly separated them, took a step back, and then suddenly threw a punch forward.
This punch landed on the right side of Zhao Jue's face.
It sent him spinning in place several times, seeing stars.
Zhao Jue lay on the ground, probably dazed from the blow, his head bobbing up and down, his eyes rolled back white.
"Sorry, can you call the police?"
The young man loudly asked Jiang Ran, who was to the side.
Jiang Ran replied, "I've already called the police!"
The young man nodded, "That's good then."
Immediately after, the young man vigilantly stared at Zhao Jue, fearing he might get up and attack again.
They waited like this until the police arrived.
Four police officers asked Jiang Ran and the young man about the cause of the incident. Jiang Ran explained that he didn't know this person either, and that he had suddenly tried to chop him with a fire axe.
The four police officers nodded, saying they would investigate thoroughly.
Then they took Zhao Jue away.
Of course, Zhao Jue was still in a dazed, dizzy state when he was taken away, truly unaware of just how much force was behind that punch.
After the four police officers left.
Jiang Ran jogged over to the young man, his mouth wrapped in gauze opened as he smiled and said, "Thank you for saving my life. My name is Jiang Ran. May I ask yours?"
"My name is Yang Qi."
Jiang Ran carefully examined Yang Qi.
There was no danger warning, nor did he give off that unapproachable, keep-your-distance feeling.
The corners of his mouth were always upturned, giving off a sunny vibe.
"Yang Qi? Looking at you, are you a new resident just moving in?"
Jiang Ran walked over to the suitcase that had been chopped up, glanced at it. The suitcase contained some personal clothes and similar items.
"Yeah, I just arrived, and then I saw a thug trying to hurt you."
Jiang Ran said, "Yang Qi, your suitcase is ruined too! Alright, I'll buy you a new one. After all, you did it to save me."
Yang Qi took the damaged suitcase from Jiang Ran's hand and smiled, "No need, it wasn't you who broke it."
"As long as you're okay."
"Alright, I'm off now, going to check out my place."
Yang Qi patted Jiang Ran's shoulder, then pulled the damaged suitcase, heading in the direction of Building No. 2.
"Sigh... I'll still have to treat him to a meal later, or buy him a suitcase as thanks."
No matter what, Jiang Ran felt that if it weren't for Yang Qi today, he definitely would have been chased and hacked by that fire axe-wielding thug.
He didn't want it to end with an alternate personality coming out to clean up the mess again, followed by another long period of losing control of his body.
Jiang Ran was scared of that.
His gaze continued to follow Yang Qi, watching him meet Manager Wu Meiling downstairs.
He said something to Wu Meiling, then took a key from her hand.
And then he disappeared into the apartment building.
...
Three days passed.
During these three days, Jiang Ran stayed home, finally finishing that drama "The White Tower."
About this drama, Jiang Ran had to say, it really was good. No wonder domestic audience ratings gave this Cherry Blossom Country TV drama such a high score.
Especially the hospital power struggles and corruption issues.
Secondly, Jiang Ran also realized one thing.
If a doctor's diagnostic skills are poor, their technique lacking.
A tiny error can lead to a huge mistake.
They really can get a patient killed.
Especially since Jiang Ran had recently been able to see some news about hospitals online.
For example, overtreatment.
Clearly not needing surgery, just needing medication, or even not needing medication at all.
Some doctors, those so-called sanctified white-robed angels, can exaggerate how serious your condition is, tricking you into getting surgery.
So, Jiang Ran believed that if you encounter a doctor saying you need surgery, go to several more hospitals for opinions, especially hospitals in nearby big cities. Don't be afraid of the trouble.
He checked the time, a little past ten in the morning.
Jiang Ran poured a cup of hot water, planning to watch some variety shows.
At that moment, his door was knocked.
Jiang Ran walked over, looked through the peephole and saw a familiar, mature elegant woman's face, so he opened the door.
After the door opened, Wang Qingzhao walked in. With her was a slightly shorter woman wearing those oversized sunglasses that covered the upper half of her face, while the lower half was wrapped in a thick red scarf.
Lastly, there was another girl, wearing glasses, also quite young.
After the three women entered, Jiang Ran closed the door behind them.
After closing it, Jiang Ran turned around, poured three cups of hot water for them, and invited them to sit down.
After finishing this, he wanted to ask, what wind blew you here, Wang Qingzhao?
But at this moment, his gaze was drawn to the sunglasses-and-scarf woman.
He saw this woman first remove the scarf, revealing the lower half of a snow-white face.
Her skin was so well-maintained, it looked delicate and flawless, glowing white.
When she took off the sunglasses.
Jiang Ran rubbed his eyes, his mouth agape, for a moment thinking he was hallucinating.
But after looking several times, he still exclaimed:
"Damn, Gu Lan!"
What Jiang Ran absolutely never expected was that this sunglasses-and-scarf woman would actually be Gu Lan!!!
That second-tier female celebrity! The one who just had an indecent video leaked a few days ago!!!
"Or... did I mistake her? You just look a lot alike?"
There are plenty of people in the world with similar faces, especially those resembling celebrities.
"You're not mistaken, I am Gu Lan."
Gu Lan's breath was like an orchid, the fragrance on her body spreading dominantly through the air.
Even though she admitted her identity, Jiang Ran still couldn't believe it.
Especially since his mind was now impure.
Seeing Gu Lan's face, his gaze involuntarily drifted below her neck.
His mind was filled with the indecent video, Gu Lan's snow-white, lovely figure...
"Heh, handsome, I suppose you've seen that video too? Your eyes are being quite naughty."
Sitting on the sofa, Gu Lan, who had always been labeled as a pure, innocent jade maiden, took out a pack of cigarettes from her bosom. Jiang Ran didn't recognize the brand; it wasn't domestic, but foreign, all in English.
She took one out, then pulled out a sleek silver metal lighter.
She lit the cigarette held between her rosy lips.
And began puffing away.
"Uh..."
Jiang Ran scratched his head.
Honestly, there probably aren't many men in the country who haven't seen it.
But, right in front of the person involved, isn't this a bit impolite?
Just as this topic was about to pass.
Wang Qingzhao chimed in, "Jiang Ran, you really watched it?"
Jiang Ran scratched his head even more awkwardly, then let out a deep sigh, "I won't lie to you all, I watched it. But I watched it from an artistic appreciation perspective, absolutely without any lewd thoughts."
Jiang Ran patted his chest as a guarantee.
He didn't notice the several scrutinizing glances flashing in Wang Qingzhao's eyes, as if trying to determine whether the Jiang Ran before her was an alternate personality? Or the former main personality?
"Watching it is no big deal. Anyway, the face is already lost. Consider it a benefit I'm giving everyone after being a celebrity for so long, even though, this benefit wasn't something I actively gave out."
Gu Lan took a few more puffs of her cigarette, then offered it to Jiang Ran.
"Handsome, want a drag?"
Jiang Ran stared at the red filter tip, stained with the saliva of this pure, innocent jade maiden, Gu Lan.
If he took it and smoked it, would that count as exchanging saliva?
