322 The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend
Hearing that Lin Ran had something important to entrust to him, Sun Ge couldn’t help but frown.
At the side, Huo Qiyun also looked puzzled. He looked at Lin Ran and asked in confusion, “Are you crazy? He wanted to kill you just now, but you wanted to entrust something to him? What makes you think he’ll listen to you?”
“Of course he’ll listen to me.”
Lin Ran said confidently, but his eyes were filled with malice. “Because this also has something to do with his own plan.”
“His plan?”
Huo Qiyun looked at Sun Ge in confusion, frowned, and asked coldly, “Hey! What’s your plan?”
Sun Ge ignored Huo Qiyun and frowned at Lin Ran. “What exactly do you mean?”
“Do you think you’re the mastermind?”
As if afraid that Sun Ge wouldn’t understand, Lin Ran paused for a moment and added, “I’m talking about your and Chen Tianqi’s plan. Do you think you’re the mastermind?”
“Of course!”
Sun Ge nodded without hesitation. After all, he and Chen Tianqi had come up with the plan and carried it out together until now. If they weren’t the mastermind, who was?
However, to Sun Ge’s surprise, Lin Ran laughed when he heard his answer. His laughter was filled with mockery.
Sun Ge was furious, but he was still puzzled. His intuition told him that Lin Ran must know something he didn’t.
Thinking of this, Sun Ge took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He patiently asked, “Do you know something?”
Lin Ran smiled mysteriously but didn’t answer Sun Ge’s question. He changed the topic and asked, “Can you find Chen Tianqi?”
“Now?”
Sun Ge asked. Seeing Lin Ran nod, he immediately looked troubled. “It’s a little difficult, but we’ve already agreed to meet tomorrow morning.”
“Tomorrow morning…”
Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully. “It’s a little late, but it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Sun Ge couldn’t help but look curious when he heard this. Huo Qiyun asked directly, “What are you muttering about? Can’t you just say it?”
“Tsk! You talk as if you can understand me if I tell you!”
Lin Ran rolled his eyes at Huo Qiyun and looked at Sun Ge seriously. “It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. In any case, you and Chen Tianqi were played by Xuan Wushang. You think you’re the mastermind, but you’re just pawns in his hands.”
Hearing the words “Xuan Wushang”, Huo Qiyun’s expression changed slightly. He was about to speak when Lin Ran stopped him with a look.
On the other hand, Sun Ge’s expression also changed. His first reaction was disbelief. “We’ve imprisoned him for 13 years. Apart from Elder Ge, who delivers food every day, he can’t come into contact with anyone from the outside world. Are you trying to say that Elder Ge is actually his man?”
Before Lin Ran could speak, Sun Ge sneered and continued, “If that’s what you want to say, I advise you to save it. Elder Ge is the last person in the world who will betray us!”
Lin Ran took a deep breath and held back his laughter. He looked at Sun Ge and said seriously, “I don’t know why you trust Elder Ge so much, but this matter indeed has nothing to do with him.”
“Back then, when you took Fluttering Cloud away from Xuan Wushang, it was all part of his plan. Back then, he left a corner of Fluttering Cloud. Through that corner, he could hear everything Chen Tianqi heard. Your plan was already under his control.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Ge immediately looked suspicious.
However, before he could question, Lin Ran said, “In short, this is the situation. Your plan has nothing to do with me. I’ve already told you everything I know. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
Sun Ge looked at the calm Lin Ran and didn’t know what to say. Although he didn’t want to admit it, it was true that his plan had nothing to do with Lin Ran.
Now that Sun Ge already knew that Lin Ran was not from the Great Yong Dynasty, it meant that what happened here was none of his business.
The information Lin Ran provided under this premise seemed to be quite convincing.
“Why?”
After a short silence, Sun Ge looked at Lin Ran and asked seriously, “Since what happened here has nothing to do with you, why did you help us?”
“To cause trouble for Xuan Wushang.”
Lin Ran smiled evilly and replied honestly, “I don’t know what Xuan Wushang’s motive is, but your plan has clearly become a part of his plan. Since he wants to take advantage of you, I naturally can’t let him have his way.”
After a pause, Lin Ran continued, “By the way, I know you don’t believe me, but this problem is easy to solve. After you see Chen Tianqi tomorrow morning, you just have to test him a little to know if I’m telling the truth.”
Sun Ge’s interest was piqued. “How to test him?”
“Think about it yourself.” Lin Ran shrugged.
“But…”
Sun Ge wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.
Seeing that Sun Ge was silent, Lin Ran couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on him. He raised the waist token in his hand and reminded him, “Remember to go to the city gate to get it tomorrow!”
With that, Lin Ran turned around and left. Seeing this, Huo Qiyun hurriedly followed. As soon as he left, he couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say just now? Why didn’t I understand a word you said? Xuan Wushang was locked up for 13 years? Why haven’t I heard of this before?”
“There are many things you haven’t heard of!”
Lin Ran chuckled and waved his hand to urge him to hurry up. “Let’s not talk about this first. We’ll go to the Ye family immediately. I’ll explain it to you after we leave the city.”
Huo Qiyun knew that Lin Ran had his plan, so he didn’t ask further. Then, the two of them left the government office and went to the north of the city.
When Lin Ran stopped in front of the house with the door open, Huo Qiyun’s expression became strange.
“Is this the Ye family you mentioned?”
Huo Qiyun probed with a strange expression, “The house I told you about is this one, but there was no one inside when I entered.”
“No one?”
Lin Ran raised his eyebrows. As he spoke, he released his divine sense to scan the rooms. After realizing that there was really no one around, he immediately had an ominous feeling.
