Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 125 - 124 Great Hidden in the City (2 more updates)

Han Tianming instructed his secretary to find information about Yun Ran. He had never faced such a big loss before—slapped in the face and still hoping to get away with it? Dream on!

But before the details were clear, the secretary reported that the Zhao Family had taken that Yun Family girl away.

Angered, Han Tianming smashed a million-dollar ornament directly.

Although he only compensated five million, which wasn’t even enough for one of his drinking sessions, it wasn’t about the money.

"Isn’t it clear yet? What do I pay you for?"

"Boss, our people... they don’t dare to get too close to the Zhao Family..."

The secretary’s forehead was covered in sweat; he couldn’t even remember which number secretary he was anymore, nor did he know when he would lose his job.

Just then, Chu Shuning pushed open the door and walked in, and the secretary breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he felt that the young master and Lady Chu were often out of their minds, he was now saved.

"Get out!"

The secretary hustled out.

"Tianming, you’re losing your temper at the secretary again..."

Han Tianming suddenly gripped Chu Shuning’s chin fiercely: "Haven’t I told you not to speak up for other men?"

"Tianming, what are you going crazy about!"

"Heh, I’m going crazy, am I? Haven’t I treated you well enough? Why do you only have eyes for other men!"

The secretary who just closed the door: ...

Female secretaries are suspected by Lady Chu, male secretaries are suspected by the young master. freёnovelkiss.com

Indeed, money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat; he doubted he’d last long. These two were truly the bane of working people!

That night, the secretary received his termination package.

The next morning, Yun Ran woke up to see Jian Yan making faces at her.

Thinking that she had just sent Jian Yan to cash in the jewelry and checks given by Zhao Mingzhu, she resisted rolling her eyes at him.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Miss, your luck is really good, if it was a day later, you wouldn’t have received the compensation from the Han Family."

This comment finally piqued Yun Ran’s curiosity: "What happened?"

"The Han Family went bankrupt overnight. All their upstream and downstream industry chains collectively breached contracts, and the banks also demanded they settle their loans early.

Rumor has it, the land they previously secured, which was already halfway through development, saw investors pulling out overnight. It’s all such bad luck piled up together, it’s not surprising they went bankrupt."

Yun Ran: ...

Although she had never managed a company, so many coincidences couldn’t just be coincidences; clearly, someone was targeting them.

She instantly felt relieved, glad that she had secured the compensation in advance.

Seeing no particular expression on Yun Ran’s face, Jian Yan couldn’t help mumbling internally: Could he really be overthinking it? The Han Family’s bankruptcy, was it really unrelated to Miss?

When he heard the news, he was so shocked he spaced out for several seconds. There must be something fishy going on, but he vaguely felt something was off.

The Han Family had neither earlier nor later troubles but stumbled right after offending Miss. He always felt Miss played some role in this.

Unfortunately, his probing seemed futile.

"Tonight, the Zhao Family’s banquet will be at the Zhao Family Mansion. The young master had gowns prepared for both the eldest miss and you.

The young master is busy with something and will send someone to pick you up for the banquet later tonight."

Jian Yan left some things unsaid, but Yun Ran already understood the underlying message.

That was, for this period, just have fun on your own and don’t stir up any trouble.

As soon as Jian Yan left, Yun Ran immediately changed her clothes and went to find the people from the Special Administration Bureau South China Branch.

Upon approaching the place Shen Zhe mentioned, Yun Ran sized up this densely populated urban village.

Indeed, it was a case of hiding in plain sight, who would have thought that the Special Administration Bureau South China Branch would be located here, with an office.

"Who goes there!"

Before she even got close to what seemed to be a convenience center, a man with eagle-like eyes stopped her.

His body was all sinewy muscles, and at a glance, he nearly resembled someone collecting protection money.

Yun Ran silently handed over her introduction letter.

The man glanced at it, and skepticism nearly flooded his eyes, obviously thinking that Yun Ran, who looked like a frail Little Chicken, didn’t look like their colleague.

But the words on his lips were: "Go in!"

It was only after entering the unremarkable door that Yun Ran realized the complexity hidden within.

People who were not allowed simply could not cross the Array that led directly underground.

As she followed the staircase down, Yun Ran finally saw how large and lively this underground arena was.

"Ah, a newcomer, looks weak as a chicken, I’m sure I could knock them out with one punch."

"Really don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking, we don’t have enough people here for those missions, yet they assign them to outsiders, so frustrating!"

"Is Hai City out of people? Sending such a young girl here, who are they trying to insult!"

...

The Ginsengfruit System was furious upon hearing these words, astonished that the staff beneath the Special Administration Bureau could have such varied qualities!

Yun Ran’s gaze faintly swept over those who had just mocked her, then she took out her credentials.

"Let’s have a practice then!"

Those who had just joked about Yun Ran, seeing the credentials in her hand, suddenly looked like chickens that had their necks pinched.

They instantly regretted it, never expecting someone capable of being on an equal footing with their superiors.

If Yun Ran were a temp worker, then these people were mere contractors, not even comparable to her temp status.

The Special Administration Bureau wasn’t solely comprised of Xuanmen people; there were many more dealing with dirty tasks and surveillance.

Yun Ran having credentials from the Special Administration Bureau was enough proof that she was one of the Xuanmen people, not someone those basic-level bureau people could jeer at.

But Yun Ran had already taken off her jacket, casually picked up a mask nearby, and put it on.

She flipped onto the platform.

"You guys are quite arrogant, then let me challenge your highest record!"

Once on the platform, even the Xuanmen people couldn’t use techniques, only fists, and those who were initially cautious of Yun Ran’s identity weren’t all cowards.

Seeing Yun Ran step directly on their faces, they naturally couldn’t endure it.

"Fine, I’ll challenge you!"

Very quickly, the already lively underground venue grew even more boisterous!

"Idiots, she is on the left, beat her to death!"

"Holy shit!!!"

"Is this even human speed!!!"

"Damn, that’s way too brutal!!!"

...

Still on the underground platform, a muscular man looking as solid as iron, stared in fear at Yun Ran, who was only chest high and appeared frail, then suddenly fell with a loud thud.
