The two classmates he brought with him were both so outstanding in temperament.
Zhang Zhenqi had also seen Su Xiaoqiang's photos. She believed that she was quite good-looking. When beauty reaches a certain level, the competition comes down to temperament and inner qualities.
Besides, one-night stands are just a momentary thrill; what man doesn't like excitement?
Was my hint not obvious enough?
While Zhang Zhenqi was thinking, Gu Ran had already carefully gotten out of the car.
He stood in front of the car door, glanced at the place he had arrived at, and paused for a moment.
Isn't this the wedding building he bought?
"Why are you living here?" Gu Ran turned to look at Zhang Wanjun.
"What's the problem? There's a four-star hotel upstairs here." Zhang Wanjun had known her nephew for so long that she knew he didn't care whether the hotel was luxurious or not, as long as it was clean and hygienic.
Since this is Gu Ran's own property, they arranged for him to stay here.
"Ah, this..." Gu Ran was speechless. This was like living on top of a nuclear bomb!
When Fenrir unleashes his Word of Power, Shiva's Dance of Karma, and the Kamaitachi flies out, will anyone still be able to live there?
However, the nuclear bomb won't explode for another week, so it's fine to stay here for now.
So Gu Ran decided not to be picky anymore and would talk about it in a few days.
He didn't notice that Zero glanced at him thoughtfully at that moment.
Gu Ran then asked Zhang Wanjun, "What's with that woman? Was it a honey trap? Did she want me to make a mistake?"
Zhang Wanjun said calmly, "You can just go for it with her; she won't refuse."
"You agree beforehand and then back out afterwards, right?" Gu Ran laughed. "I'm not falling for that."
Gu Ran had already guessed that the Zhang family wanted him to carry on their lineage. This Zhang Zhenqi was probably the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Zhang family, far ahead in terms of both bloodline and performance in all aspects.
"It's up to you whether you want to or not. If you can resist the temptation, then you can. If you can't resist and you do it, you don't need to take responsibility."
Zhang Wanjun was not interested in whether Gu Ran would leave a child or not. In her opinion, Gu Ran's father's bloodline was not very good either, but in the end, Gu Ran was still a prodigy.
So whether the bloodline is good or bad is not important at all, but the old folks in the family don't think so.
“Since my offspring are so expensive, I can’t just let them out.” Gu Ran suddenly thought of something and called Zhang Zhenqi over.
"Little brother, what's wrong? Do you want me to come back to your room with you?" Zhang Zhenqi hugged Gu Ran's arm tightly and asked with a smile.
Susie, standing to the side, frowned, wanting to remind Gu Ran that he was already a married man and should be mindful of his behavior.
But then she saw Gu Ran's mischievous grin and wondered what kind of wicked idea he was up to.
Gu Ran asked bluntly, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Zhang Zhenqi was stunned. Was it really that direct?
The girl's reserve made her subconsciously want to shake her head and refuse, but what if she refused and then never had another chance?
So she nodded decisively.
"This is...my first time," Zhang Zhenqi said with a touch of pride.
"That's great, very valuable." Gu Ran nodded. "How much money are you planning to give me?"
"Huh?" Zhang Zhenqi was a little confused about Gu Ran's meaning.
Shouldn't you pay me for my precious first time?
"If you want to sleep with me, shouldn't you give me money?" Gu Ran said matter-of-factly. "It's not like I want to sleep with you!"
Zhang Zhenqi had never heard such absurd words. She believed that she was good-looking and had a good figure. From elementary school to university, the men who pursued her could line up from Badaling to Shanhaiguan. Countless men wanted to sleep with her.
Now that she's paying him, he's still asking her for money?
"Then... what do you think... is appropriate?" Zhang Zhenqi asked through gritted teeth.
"One billion dollars per time, pregnancy not included, are you in?" Gu Ran glanced at the time. "If it's okay, I can let you grab a quick meal now!"
Zhang Zhenqi was stunned for a long time before she understood what he meant by fast food.
She glanced at Zhang Wanjun beside her, but Zhang Wanjun just chuckled and walked upstairs with her hands behind her back.
"If you're willing, ask your family for money. If not, then don't keep thinking about sleeping with me." Gu Ran glanced at Su Xi and Ling, signaling them to follow.
"I... I'll think about it." Zhang Zhenqi's tone was aggrieved; she actually endured being looked down upon by Gu Ran like that.
Susie walked up to Gu Ran and said softly, "Can't you speak properly? You have to give this young lady some face."
"Senior sister, you're so generous. Why don't you sleep with her?"
Susie punched his shoulder, glared at him irritably, and walked straight ahead.
Ling glanced at Gu Ran and said something unusual: "I've noticed that you make money pretty easily."
Gu Ran dismissed her, saying, "Go away, little girl, follow your senior sister and don't meddle in adults' affairs."
Before, when I was with Chip Girl, I always heard her talk about how hard it was to make money and how difficult it was to run a household.
But Gu Ran makes a billion dollars in one sale. He makes money so fast, and it doesn't even take much brainpower.
When she sees the potato chip girl later, she'll ask her properly what's so difficult about making money.
"I don't really understand. You're not bad yourself. What benefits did the Zhang family give you that made you willingly become my mistress?" Gu Ran asked Zhang Zhenqi softly at the end.
Zhang Zhenqi stood there blankly, speechless for a long time.
After returning to their room and putting away their luggage, the three students from Kassel College, along with Zhang Wanjun, went to the hotel's conference room for a meeting.
Lu Xueer was holding a notebook and organizing information. She had been following Zhang Wanjun with Zhang Zhenqi at the airport, and had only nodded to Gu Ran as a greeting.
Lu Xue'er currently lives in a top-floor clubhouse in Shanghai and works under the guidance of Nuwa, so her presence here represents Nuwa.
The laptop she was holding was actually on a video call, and Nuwa was listening to the meeting from the other end.
Gu Ran sat in the middle and said, "In terms of stance, the Secret Party and the Chinese aristocratic families share many similarities. We do not want the secrets of the Dragon Clan to be exposed. On this basis, we should be able to cooperate, so I brought both of my classmates here."
“I have no objection and agree to cooperate.” Zhang Wanjun had talked with two classmates in the car before and knew that they had strong family backgrounds and outstanding abilities.
Nuwa conveyed the orders by typing. Lu Xue'er glanced at the screen and said, "Nuwa said that we have three tasks. First and foremost, we must maintain local order and not allow hybrids to disrupt the order. Secondly, we must find the location of the dragon's lair, make preparations in advance, and ensure that the dragon's secrets are not revealed. Finally, we must slay the dragon."
Less than 24 hours after the bounty was posted on the hunter market, more than 5,000 hybrids from North America to Europe had arrived in the capital.
There will likely be more in the coming days.
After considering for a moment, Gu Ran said, "Mixed-bloods with organized families generally don't act recklessly. What we need to be wary of are lone wolves without any organization."
He looked at Susie: "Senior sister, go to Norma and get a list of these lone wolves, and keep a close eye on these people."
“Okay.” Susie nodded. Maintaining order and preventing the lives of ordinary people from being affected by mixed-race individuals was also a mission of the Secret Party.
“Besides that, we also need to pay attention to ordinary people,” Zhang Wanjun said. “In the hunter market, there are not only hybrids, but also some people who live on the edge. Some of them may know the inside story of the dragon race and come here to make money.”
“We should hand these people over to the local police station,” Gu Ran said. “They probably have more experience in this area than we do.”
Beijing has experience in hosting large-scale events over the years and is an important city, so its public security work has always been quite good.
As long as we use our connections to send a message to higher authorities, letting them know that the current situation is serious, they will take effective measures.
“Then the next topic is the location of the dragon’s lair.” Zhang Wanjun took out a record of earthquakes in the capital over the past hundred years. “Assuming the dragon’s lair is really in the capital, it is very likely underground, but the capital is so big that it is hard to say exactly where it is.”
Earthquake logs contain a lot of messy information; even the slightest tremor will be recorded. It's very difficult to find the thread in them.
“The dragon’s lair… I have a way to find it, so leave it to me,” Gu Ran thought for a moment and continued, “Besides, the bounty hunters in the hunter market obviously know where the dragon’s lair is. I guess they’ve already made arrangements. Instead of blindly searching, we might as well wait for it to come to us.”
Everyone agreed that Gu Ran was right; the situation was still unclear, so it was the right thing to do for now.
"Then there's only one last question." Lü Xue'er glanced at her laptop and asked Gu Ran, "Is the Secret Party confident enough to slaughter the Dragon King?"
This is a very important issue. If the Secret Party fails to slay the dragon and the Dragon King is born, then ordinary citizens will suffer.
“The students with the best lineage in the academy have already arrived in the capital,” Gu Ran said. “I believe they can slay the dragon.”
Zhang Wanjun and Lü Xueer exchanged a glance, because Gu Ran didn't say he would go to slay the dragon himself, but instead said he would trust others.
He can have such trust, but the Huaxia aristocratic families cannot have the same trust in their students.
“Trust us.” Gu Ran knew their concerns and said, “My classmates have defeated Norton and Constantine before, and they will definitely be able to defeat Fenrir this time as well.”
The goddess Nuwa, far away in Shanghai, stared at her computer screen for a long time before replying with a few words: Trust them.
The Secret Party is more experienced than other organizations in slaying dragons, and for this reason, the Huaxia Family trusts them.
Next, Gu Ran and Zhang Wanjun discussed some details and then adjourned the meeting, each going about their own business.
Chapter 289 Chu Zihang is going to meet Xia Mi's parents
“Senior Sister and Zero can move around freely, just keep in touch by phone,” Gu Ran said.
"I'm going out for a bit." Zero said, her hands behind her back, and left without saying a word. No one knew where she was going.
Gu Ran guessed that she was going to find the long-legged girl and the potato chip girl.
He asked Susie, "What about you, Senior Sister? Are you going to find Senior Brother Chu?"
"I won't go, Xia Mi will help him." Susie smiled brightly, "I'll help you."
"Then, senior sister... help me buy a large scroll," Gu Ran said, "I don't want outsiders to see what I'm doing. It needs to be at least 1.2 meters wide... I'll write down the rest of the requirements for you."
"Oh..." Susie didn't ask any more questions, thinking that he must have his reasons.
It was already dawn. Gu Ran returned to her suite, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and watched the sun slowly rise in the east.
Gu Ran's phone vibrated at that moment. He glanced at it and saw it was a message from Su Xiaoqiang:
"You can be seduced by someone like her? Is she prettier than me?"
A few hours ago, Gu Ran sent her a photo of Zhang Zhenqi. She must have just woken up and seen the message. This is her reply.
Gu Ran typed with a smile: "She's not as pretty as you, but..."
"but?"
"But she's sexier than you!"
"...Wait, I'll show you how sexy I am!"
A short while later, Su Xiaoqiang took several selfies, all of them showing her posing in various sexy positions on the bed.
