Chapter 1207
1207 Clean up
As the man crawled, he aimed the gun at her and Jiao Mengran.
Lan Xiao’s breathing stopped and he sucked in a cold breath.
She quickly got up and pounced on the man.
The man’s eyes were filled with shock. He looked at Lan Xiao in disbelief as he pounced on him.
He didn’t even have the time to shoot before the gun in his hand was snatched away by Lan Xiao.
Lan Xiao grabbed the gun and quickly pointed it at his head.
At this moment, Jiao Mengran also immediately got up from the ground and walked over to Lan Xiao.
She glanced at Lan Xiao, her eyes full of admiration and praise.
Lan Xiao’s skills were simply too good.
If the two of them were to fight, she probably wouldn’t be able to defeat Lan Xiao.
Lan Xiao squatted on the ground and looked at the man angrily. He asked in a low voice, ” “Speak, who sent you?”
The man gritted his teeth and glared at Lan Xiao. He sneered.
“Do you think I’ll tell you the truth?”
Lan Xiao frowned. The next moment, he saw the man smile eerily and bite his tongue. Then, he swallowed blood and died on the spot.
Jiao Mengran was shocked, she quickly knelt down and pried open the man’s tongue.
The bright blood was mixed with a poison bag.
The medicine bag had already burst.
“He was poisoned to death. Tao Wu is so ruthless. I’m afraid that this person’s background is not simple.” Jiao Mengran’s tone carried a hint of solemnity.
The surrounding people saw this scene and were all frightened, running in all directions.
Lan Xiao took out his phone and called the police.
Not long after, the police arrived.
Lan Xiao and Jiao Mengran went to the police station to record their statements.
When ye Meng received the news, he quickly brought his lawyer and rushed to the police station.
In a short period of time, the police station had also investigated the truth of the matter through the surveillance video and other evidence.
Lan Xiao and Jiao Mengran had also confirmed the identity of the deceased.
There was a mysterious organization in the International underworld.
The members of this organization were like the men of sacrifice in ancient times.
Some people spent a lot of money to hire them to carry out missions.
If they failed the mission and were caught, they would bite their tongues and commit suicide. They would never reveal the inside story or their employer’s information.
The organization was so mysterious that it struck fear in people.
Lan Xiao didn’t expect that someone would actually hire these outlaws to take her life.
Ye Meng brought him out of the police station and personally sent Lan Xiao back to the hotel.
“Miss LAN, brother Jiang has ordered you to rest first. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk tomorrow. I’ve sent many people to guard the outside. No one will disturb you again.”
Lan Xiao nodded at ye Meng, then looked at Jiao Mengran and thanked her.
“Thank you for just now. If you didn’t drive me away, I’m afraid I would have been hit by a truck.”
Jiao Mengran pursed her lips into a smile and quickly waved her hands,”I should be the one thanking you. If it wasn’t for you snatching that man’s gun, I’m afraid I would have already died.”
Ye Meng listened to the two of them thanking each other.
He could not help but chuckle,”alright, you two don’t have to be so polite.” Since you two got to know each other because of brother Jiang, it’s also fate. In the future, if we get along well, maybe we can even become good friends.”
Jiao Mengran’s eyes flickered and she glanced at Lan Xiao.
“Lan Xiao, I don’t just want to thank you, I also want to say sorry to you, Yingluo.”
Lan Xiao’s eyes flashed with confusion.
“I’m sorry? Where did you come from?”
Jiao Mengran now understood that in brother Jiang’s eyes, Lan Xiao was still the most important.
In that case, why would she do something stupid to offend Lan Xiao and make brother Jiang angry?
She might as well get along well with Lan Xiao.
As long as brother Jiang allowed her to stay by his side, she had no other requests.
“Because of brother Jiang’s injury, I’ve taken my anger out on you a few times. Fortunately, you didn’t hold it against me. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the chance to stay by brother Jiang’s side.” Jiao Mengran’s eyes flashed with gratitude.
Lan Xiao held Jiao Mengran’s hand and smiled. “You also know that I don’t have any feelings for brother Jiang’s Qianqian. I have a boyfriend, so I can’t be with brother Jiang. I owe him too much, so I don’t want him to be alone. I hope that there’s someone who can truly love him and silently guard him.”
“With someone by his side to take care of him, I can be more at ease. I think that you’re the most suitable candidate. That’s why I’ve been wishing you and brother Jiang well.”
Jiao Mengran’s heart was gradually filled with waves.
She pursed her lips and looked at Lan Xiao, her eyes slightly bitter.
“Thank you, Yingluo.”
Lan Xiao stepped forward and hugged Jiao Mengran, patting her shoulder gently.
Ye Meng watched from the side. He also felt that it was good for Jiao Mengran to stay by brother Jiang’s side.
Jiao Mengran wasn’t a bad person. She could only blame herself for loving brother Jiang too deeply.
And brother Jiang was too cold-hearted.
That was why Brother Jiang and Jiao Mengran were in such a stalemate.
Brother Jiang was giving Lan Xiao some face now and didn’t want to make things too ugly with Jiao Mengran.
No one knew what would happen in the future.
Let’s just take it one step at a time.
