Chapter 209: 208 Zhou Mingfu dies suddenly

Shen Yuting was somewhat stunned, unable to describe the shock in her heart with words. She opened her mouth, but couldn’t get a word out.

Gu Kai suddenly pressed down on the accelerator, the Maserati that had been maintaining a steady speed suddenly sped up, shooting forward like an arrow leaving its string. Even buckled up, Shen Yuting’s body still swayed considerably due to inertia.

MO Xiuchen’s business trip was supposed to last three days, but there was an accident over there. On the third day, he called Wen Ran to tell her that he wouldn’t be back for another two or three days.

Wen Ran was curled up on the sofa, the room’s bright crystal lamp casting a soft light on her. Reflecting her beautiful features, she looked serene and elegant.

She was holding a cup in one hand and her phone in the other, speaking softly, “It’s okay, don’t rush, and don’t overwork yourself. If it can’t be handled in two or three days, then take four or five. Come back whenever everything is settled.”

“It won’t take that long.”

MO Xiuchen laughed lightly on the other end of the phone. Hearing Wen Ran’s gentle voice, all the gloom in his heart dissipated like mist, his mood becoming instantly brighter. “Have you been feeling uncomfortable these past two days? Did Nanny Zhang cook meals for you according to the recipes I gave her?”

Feeling sweet inside, Wen Ran’s voice inevitably gained a playful tone. “With you checking in every day, Nanny Zhang wouldn’t dare not follow your instructions. She not only cooked them but also insists I finish them every meal. Maybe by the time you get back, I’ll have gotten fat.”

MO Xiuchen was truly meticulous, his care for Wen Ran surpassing his own.

Before he left, he specifically instructed Nanny Zhang to cook some foods suitable for Wen Ran’s period during these few days and ordered Nanny Zhang to take care of her, to keep her from touching cold water and the like.

While he was away on his trip, he was sometimes so busy he had to resort to instant noodles.

MO Xiuchen’s voice, wrapped in laughter and carried by the night breeze, added a few touches of ambiguity to the deep fall, “It’s best that way, putting on a bit of weight can make you feel even better to touch.”

“I won’t talk to you anymore. I need to shower and go to bed. You should also rest early.”

“Haha, Ranran, what could you possibly still be shy about with me?”

MO Xiuchen enjoyed teasing Wen Ran. Even over the phone, he could imagine Ranran most likely blushing again at that moment. Her skin was fair and delicate, even the slightest blush was exceedingly enticing.

She simply couldn’t resist any of his suggestive teases, easily blushing. “I’m not being shy, I’m really hanging up.”

Wen Ran, afraid that if she continued, MO Xiuchen would say something even more embarrassing, quickly ended the call then hummed a little tune as she went to take a shower in the bathroom.

During MO Xiuchen’s absence, Wen Ran was chauffeured to and from work by Little Liu every day.

Cheng Jia stayed in the hospital for two days and was discharged on the third day.

She was still indifferent towards Little Liu, who seemed to have forgotten about that night’s incident and no longer paid her any attention.

Every day, he dutifully acted as Wen Ran’s driver, ensuring her safety.

As the day of the trial was fast approaching, Xiao Wenqing’s inability to persuade MO Zixuan made him anxious to the point of developing a canker sore in his mouth.

On the eve of the trial, Zhou Mingfu suddenly died!

When Wen Ran received the news, she was already lying in bed, ready to sleep.

The phone call was from her brother, Wen Jin. He had friends in the police station and was the first to receive the news. As soon as he was notified, he immediately called Wen Ran.

Upon hearing the news, Wen Ran was somewhat in disbelief, “Brother, are you sure it’s true? Zhou Mingfu is dead?”

Zhou Mingfu had harmed her time and again, and was very likely the culprit who killed their parents. He hadn’t even been given his due punishment, and yet he was already dead.

Such an easy death was simply too easy for him.

“It’s absolutely true, Zhou Mingfu died half an hour ago, the cause of death is still under investigation. Ranran, there must be another reason for Zhou Mingfu’s death. MO Xiuchen haven’t been at home these past few days, I’ll find two people to act as your bodyguards.”

Wen Jin had always been worried about Wen Ran. It was somewhat better when MO Xiuchen was at home, but MO Xiuchen had been away on a business trip for the past few days. He had once suggested having two bodyguards to protect her, but Wen Ran turned down the idea.

“Brother, I have Little Liu driving me every day. He’s trained, he can protect me, you don’t need to worry.”

“How can I not worry? Although the cause of Zhou Mingfu’s death is not yet clear, we can at least be sure that there was someone behind him. I had always suspected that the car accident was his doing, but now, I’m suddenly feeling that things might not be that simple. Ranran, if our enemy was only Zhou Mingfu, then his death now would put us at ease.”

“But in reality, we don’t know who else might be behind him, someone perhaps even more formidable. I can’t take a risk with your safety. Tomorrow morning, I’ll send those two over to pick you up. You can continue to use Little Liu’s car, but two more people to protect you will help both me and MO Xiuchen feel better.”

Wen Jin was firm in his stance. Zhou Mingfu’s death, while shocking, had also left him somewhat uneasy.

“Okay, have it your way then.”

Wen Ran agreed softly, not wanting to make her brother worry, and even more, not wanting to worry MO Xiuchen, who was away on a business trip. Wen Jin was able to learn of Zhou Mingfu’s death at the first moment, so MO Xiuchen would definitely be aware as well.

Unexpectedly, MO Xiuchen didn’t call her.

After her conversation with Wen Jin, Wen Ran waited expectantly with her phone in hand for about ten minutes. From her understanding of MO Xiuchen over the past few days, if he had received news of Zhou Mingfu’s sudden death, he would definitely call to tell her.

However, MO Xiuchen’s call never came. Instead, about ten minutes later, Bai Xiaoxiao called to ask whether she knew of Zhou Mingfu’s death.

“I just got the news as well. How did you find out?”

Wen Ran asked Bai Xiaoxiao who laughed triumphantly on the other end of the phone. “Ranran, that evil man Zhou Mingfu is finally dead. This really is great news worth celebrating. Let’s go out and celebrate tomorrow.”

Wen Ran smiled wearily, thinking in her heart that even this girl Bai Xiaoxiao already knew about Zhou Mingfu’s death. MO Xiuchen must know as well.

Biting her lip, she replied perfunctorily, “We can still celebrate after the cause of his death is established. I’m a bit tired, let’s talk tomorrow!”

With MO Xiuchen in her mind, Wen Ran hung up after a few words with Bai Xiaoxiao. Glancing at the time, it was nearly eleven at night.

Perhaps it was because it was too late and he didn’t want to affect her rest, so he planned to call back the next day. Wen Ran reassured herself with this thought and waited a little longer before finally easing her mind with this consolation.

After all, he had just called during dinner, so calling the next day would be the same.

After pondering for a moment, she sent him another text message before putting down her phone and pulling the blanket over her to sleep..
