C26 Su Rann Let's See Where You Can Run To!

"Su Rann, what exactly is happening? Do you know Hei Lei?" Liu Jiatong was still reeling as if she had been dreaming.

What sort of man was Hei Lei to kneel down on his own accord and even call her boss?

She would never have believed such a thing could happen if she hadn't witnessed it herself.

"I don't know him," Su Rann replied calmly, "Perhaps he mistook me for someone else."

Jiatong was still struggling to accept it. In Lan City, the number of people who could instill fear in Hei Lei could be counted on one hand. And someone who could make him kneel was truly unheard of.

Could it be that Hei Lei had indeed mistaken her for someone else today? How much luck must she have accumulated over the years for this to happen?

Jiatong glanced at Su Rann once more. Her slight frame was usually so aloof, yet she had come to Jiatong's aid several times. There was no way she had any ties to Hei Lei.

Today, they both must have been touched by fortune's favor.

Su Rann and Lu Jinhan arrived home around the same time. Stepping out of his Bentley, Jinhan fixed his gaze on the woman before him.

In her eyes, he detected not a hint of fear.

Her graceful, wind-swept silhouette compelled Jinhan to take a second look.

Was this really the same woman who had been so meek before others? The one who had shamelessly climbed into his bed for ten million?

Had he missed something before, or was there something he had overlooked?

The information Nan Jun had retrieved indicated that Su Rann's altered appearance was due to reconstructive surgery following a car accident.

Everything else seemed consistent with what he knew before; he could spot no discrepancies.

Su Rann maintained a careful distance from Jinhan, yet she appeared to be lost in thought.

Each time she encountered Jinhan, the image of a key would surface in her mind. Perhaps today was the day to delve a little deeper.

Watching her retreating figure, a shadow of darkness flickered in Jinhan's eyes, tinged with a hint of danger.

That night, as Jinhan stood on the balcony making a phone call, Su Rann slipped into his room once again.

The layout of his room was etched into her memory.

Eagle Eye had reported that the key was in Jinhan's possession, and Jinhan was known for his keen sensitivity—ordinary people couldn't get close to him without good reason.

Lu Jinhan's room was off-limits, a place not easily entered or exited.

Su Rann moved with the grace of clouds drifting across the sky, meticulously searching every suspicious spot she had previously noted, yet she found no clues. Suddenly, with a click, the lights in the room flickered on.

Startled, Su Rann wondered why she hadn't detected his presence. Normally, she could sense anyone within a fifty-meter radius—this oversight was a first for her. She recalled the last time she had realized Lu Jinhan had returned; it was because she overheard his conversation with Lu Zihann.

Who was this man that she couldn't sense at all?

"What are you doing?" Lu Jinhan asked, closing the door and striding over to her.

"Tell me, what are you after?" His voice was icy, his gaze piercing like that of a venomous serpent.

Lu Jinhan's grip was firm as he held her. His features were sharp, exuding the commanding presence of an emperor.

Su Rann knew she couldn't reveal her identity just yet; it would make finding the key all the more difficult.

"I left something in your room," she replied, her voice steady as she boldly met his stare.

Lu Jinhan scrutinized the woman before him, intent on discovering her true motive for being in his room.

"What are you looking for?" he pressed, eager to uncover whatever game she was playing.

"This." Su Rann picked up a leather case from the floor. "I left this here last time."

As she attempted to leave, Lu Jinhan's hand closed around her arm once more. She could usually sense others well in advance, but it seemed all her skills were nullified in Lu Jinhan's presence.

Realizing too late, Su Rann tried to pull away, but Lu Jinhan's grip caused her to lose her balance and fall against him. Their lips met in an unexpected kiss. Su Rann's eyes narrowed in shock, her body devoid of strength.

In this man's presence, she felt utterly defenseless.

A blush crept across Su Rann's cheeks—this was her first kiss in over two millennia! She tried to raise her hand to strike him, but Lu Jinhan held her wrists firmly in his grasp.

In his presence, she found herself utterly powerless. This man was her nemesis, the one who could neutralize her strength completely.

For the first time, she faced such an unexpected predicament.

Lu Jinhan observed her flushed cheeks, his previously angry eyes softening as he slowly released her hand.

Her lips were unexpectedly soft, cool, and surprisingly sweet.

With a swift turn, Su Rann left the scene.

Lu Jinhan watched her retreating figure, his gaze deep and inscrutable.

The following day at the office, Su Rann was noticeably distracted.

She was usually very perceptive, but Lu Jinhan was the one exception.

"This area is not for unrestricted access," the security guard stated outside the office, his tone clearly insufficient.

"Move aside," Hei Lei commanded, his voice deep and resonant like distant thunder.

In Lan City, Hei Lei was a name that everyone recognized. He had now boldly stormed into the company. The security guards had arrived quickly, yet they kept a cautious distance from him.

Hei Lei's reputation for being merciless and brutal was well-established in Lan City; no one dared to cross him.

"Where is Su Rann? I'm looking for Su Rann," Hei Lei demanded, scanning the crowd with an intimidating glare.

The crowd parted, with people murmuring, "You can't go in there."

Faced with Hei Lei's formidable presence, no one dared to step forward.

At the door, Chi Xin's lips curled into a smile upon hearing Su Rann's name.

It seemed Su Rann had managed to offend Hei Lei, and now he had come to seek her out personally. Chi Xin couldn't help but feel a thrill of schadenfreude. Those who crossed Hei Lei rarely fared well.

If she could leverage Hei Lei's wrath to teach Su Rann a lesson, wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity?

Chi Xin approached Hei Lei, "Are you looking for Su Rann?"

She was the first to boldly step towards him.

"Do you know where she is?" His piercing gaze didn't waver.

"I do. Follow me," Chi Xin said, a triumphant note in her voice.

The security guard attempted to intervene but was quickly deterred by a single look from Hei Lei.

Hei Lei followed Chi Xin, his aura one of unbridled menace. However, upon laying eyes on Su Rann, his harsh features softened considerably.

As Liu Jiatong watched Hei Lei approach, her heart clenched once more.

How on earth did this man locate the company? She wondered if he had mistaken her for someone else yesterday and had now come to the office to settle a debt.

Her legs felt wobbly, and panic surged through her.

Chi Xin's lips twisted into a triumphant smile upon seeing Hei Lei head towards Su Rann.

"Su Rann, where will you hide today?" she mused with a sense of victory.
