Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Gu Yuan, who was busy as a dog, was about to rest when he received a message from his subordinate.

Knowing that Yun Ran had unexpectedly taken the Special Administration Bureau's special aircraft to the Northeast overnight, he was so excited that he jumped up directly.

He accidentally bit his tongue.

"Ouch!"

Gu Yuan covered his mouth in pain, his eyes full of disbelief.

"How could this girl be so reckless? Out of nowhere, she's mingling with that old fox Elder Gong!"

At this moment, he couldn't care about his tongue pain and quickly had someone investigate thoroughly to find out exactly what was happening, while also calling Xie Xuzhi, who had been discharged from the hospital.

"You better have a real urgent matter."

Listening to the cold voice of the boss on the other end, Gu Yuan completely lost his usual vigilance and rattled off the situation like a machine gun.

At last, he added excitedly: "Boss, you might need to activate the undercover agents at the Northeast Branch ahead of schedule.

My Ranran sister is unfamiliar there. If she gets tricked by those old foxes, how will I live?!!!"

Xie Xuzhi:...

He never imagined that Gu Yuan would have such an abstract moment.

Too lazy to deal with Gu Yuan's unending cries, he hung up the phone and then had someone find out about Yun Ran's situation.

When Yun Ran did these things, she didn't hide from anyone, and the Xie Family soon figured out the trajectory of Yun Ran these days.

Xie Xuzhi looked at the complete information delivered to him within half an hour, though it didn't specify what Yun Ran had discovered.

But according to the data, he could essentially infer what had likely happened.

He naturally understood that Yun Ran had persuaded Elder Gong and Minister Duan onto her side.

After putting down the information, Xie Xuzhi couldn't help but recognize Yun Ran's cleverness.

She could even make friends with those who previously opposed her, convincing them to willingly share risks, truly a promising talent.

And as Gu Yuan, who was hung up, eased the pain of his tongue with a hissing sound, he dialed the helicopter.

Yun Ran was resting with her eyes closed as the staff on the helicopter came over carefully to speak: "Lady Yun, a call from Gu Chu."

Seeing the phone handed to her, Yun Ran glanced at Elder Gong and Minister Duan before calmly picking up the phone.

"What's up?"

Upon hearing Yun Ran's lazy and calm voice, Gu Yuan's previously worried feelings immediately eased a lot.

"You little girl, I didn't see you for a moment, and you started doing big things, I'm just worried about you."

The two were already familiar, so their conversation naturally wasn't very formal and went straight to the point.

"Uh, it's just a small matter, you know my skills."

Even knowing others couldn't hear their conversation, Gu Yuan instinctively lowered his voice.

He complained softly, adding: "Of course I know your skills, it's just I'm worried others might deceive you.

They say you can know someone's face but not their heart, you have to be careful outside, don't let someone stab you in the back."

Even though Elder Gong is a notable figure in the Special Administration Bureau, in Gu Yuan's mind, anyone not part of his people has questionable motives.

"Don't worry, I'm not a good person either, I'm full of mind games."

Gu Yuan:...

He didn't expect Yun Ran to speak of herself, even cursing herself, but it greatly relieved his worries.

"Alright then, over there in the Northeast, I'll find you a few trusted people to follow you."

"Sure."

If it were someone else's goodwill, Yun Ran wouldn't care to give much face, but Gu Yuan's face deserved some respect.

The phone quickly disconnected, and Minister Duan's sarcastic voice rang out.

"Didn't realize you and Gu Chu have quite a good relationship, even calling directly to the helicopter, who are you suspicious of!"

Each special aircraft has its dedicated phone. Generally, people who don't get along internally wouldn't contact each other's people.

Now Gu Yuan didn't avoid suspicion at all, directly calling over; he wouldn't believe Gu Yuan didn't know he and Elder Gong were also on the plane.

This was blatantly saying he was watching them, hum, truly suspicious minds!

Yun Ran returned the phone to the staff and continued resting, too lazy to bother with the disputes of the Special Administration Bureau's internal personnel.

Seeing Yun Ran not speaking, Minister Duan got even more irate.

"I'm talking to you!"

Yun Ran said lightly: "Sorry, but as an outsider, it's inappropriate for me to interfere in your internal matters."

Minister Duan:...

Alright, alright, he had never met anyone like Yun Ran who adapted to her identity so well; she was simply advancing and retreating strategically, her cheek not something ordinary people could compare to.

Now, Minister Duan increasingly regretted believing Yun Ran's nonsense when he received her call.

Ginsengfruit held his mouth tight, fearing he might laugh accidentally. His host was known for being argumentative.

Those shrugging shoulders eventually didn't escape Minister Duan's eyes.

Being rebuffed by that dead girl Yun Ran was one thing, but now even a little brat dared to laugh.

Minister Duan glared fiercely at Ginsengfruit: both master and apprentice are no good!

The special aircraft was fast; Yun Ran felt she hadn't rested long before the plane was about to descend.

Yun Ran habitually took out her phone, planning to check the time, and saw two unread messages.

One was from Gu Yuan, the other from Xie Xuzhi.

Gu Yuan's message listed several absolutely trustworthy names.

And Xie Xuzhi's had only one contact number, telling her to call that number if she needed people in the Northeast.

Yun Ran only had to think briefly to understand that Xie Xuzhi provided one of his forces belonging to the Northeast.

After scanning the names and contact numbers, Yun Ran deleted both messages.

No wonder Elder Gong's status was high enough—the exclusive Northeast airport at this hour still had many picking him up.

When getting off the plane, Elder Gong glanced at Yun Ran and reminded: "Stay calm later, follow me, and don't interrupt."

Yun Ran nodded, understanding Elder Gong meant to protect her.

Being at someone else's place, even if their identities could suppress others, who knows if the opposite party might comply outwardly but oppose in secret, or even backstab.

Facing these local powers, naturally, one must be cautious to avoid pitfalls.

With Elder Gong and Minister Duan spearheading, others' gazes wouldn't fall on her; perhaps she could discover things she wasn't yet aware of.

"Rest assured, I'm clear in the head."
