Chapter 430: Class Reunion? Again?
Chapter 430: Class Reunion? Again?
"Who are you? Do you know me?"Jiang Ran was very confused.
The young woman walked towards Jiang Ran and smiled, "I thought I was mistaken, but it turns out I wasn't."
"You really are a forgetful noble. We've been old classmates for so many years. I still remember you, but you don't remember me."
"Old classmate...?"
Jiang Ran was even more confused.
"Are you my university classmate?"
Jiang Ran started searching his memory but couldn't recall having such a university classmate!
"What university classmate? I'm your high school classmate! Hu Xiaofei from Class 1, Grade 12!!!"
"Hu Xiaofei?"
Jiang Ran really didn't remember much, though he had a pretty strong impression of Hu Yifei from the show "Love Apartment."
He let his mind go blank and thought for a long time.
Only then did Jiang Ran say with extreme uncertainty, "Are you the girl who sat behind me in the first year of high school? For one semester?"
Hu Xiaofei punched Jiang Ran's chest, "Haha, you finally remember me! Long time no see, what are you doing these days?!"
Jiang Ran said, "As you can see, I'm out buying groceries."
Hu Xiaofei: ...
Hu Xiaofei looked down at the items in the shopping cart and said, "I never imagined you could cook!"
Jiang Ran said, "Not very good at it, but living alone, you have to learn."
Hu Xiaofei said, "Alone? No way, you're still single? I really can't imagine that. Back in high school, I personally saw plenty of girls stuffing love letters into your desk drawer."
Jiang Ran smiled slightly, "That's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
Hu Xiaofei nodded, "Yeah, after all, it's been many years since we graduated high school."
"Oh, by the way, Jiang Ran, we're having a high school class reunion next week. Are you coming?"
"High school class reunion?"
For some reason, Jiang Ran suddenly remembered the small group university gathering he attended a few months ago.
And the outcome?
Of the participants in that university gathering.
Only him, Wang Qingzhao, and Shen Xing remained.
The other three university classmates, Fatty, the short guy, and the short guy's girlfriend, the ordinary girl.
By now, they should have successfully rushed to be reborn.
Therefore, suddenly being asked to attend a class reunion made Jiang Ran fearful.
Because he always felt he had a bit of a Conan-like attribute.
So he wanted to refuse.
But then, Hu Xiaofei over there directly said, "Hey, Jiang Ran, I just mentioned this in our high school class group chat. Guess what? They're all super excited. They never expected me to run into an old classmate, so one after another, they're all clamoring for you to come!"
"They said you absolutely have to come!"
Jiang Ran was speechless. Seriously, is your mouth that fast?
"Fine, I'll come."
Jiang Ran had no choice.
"Okay, add me as a friend. I'll send you the reunion address and details later."
The two added each other as friends, and Jiang Ran received the reunion address and time.
They chatted a bit more, then went their separate ways after leaving the supermarket.
Jiang Ran returned to his home, Room 304 in Alice Apartment.
After tidying up a bit, he started following the online method of Chicken Cutlet Brother to make fried chicken cutlets.
Just as he was marinating the sliced chicken breast.
His phone, placed on the table, rang. Jiang Ran went back to the living room, brought the phone to the open-plan kitchen, answered the call, put it on speakerphone, placed it on the kitchen counter, and while marinating the chicken breast, said:
"Who is this?"
From the other side: "It's me, Lin Feng."
"Oh, Lin Feng. What's up?"
"Yes, a big issue. The new manager is completely unreliable!"
"Unreliable? How so?"
"It's like this. Didn't you tell me yesterday that he, along with Shangguan Fei and the security team, were staking out that guy."
"So, early this morning, that White Ghost Face Mask Person came to my place again, and he was using a power drill on my door. I sent a message to the new manager, Mao Li Zhishu."
"He replied, saying he would send the security team over immediately to catch the guy."
"But, until that guy left, I never saw a single shadow of the security team."
Lin Feng's tone sounded somewhat angry.
Whether it was fake or real anger was unclear.
Hearing this, Jiang Ran's hands were covered in various liquids. He leaned his mouth close to the phone and said:
"Oh, I see. That is indeed pretty unreliable."
"But, you don't need to get that angry."
"Because, early this morning, that guy also came to my doorstep. Although, he didn't have a power drill, just an ordinary fruit knife, scraping my door."
Lin Feng's tone from the other side was exceptionally agitated: "What?! He went to your place too?!"
"Yeah, came to my place."
Jiang Ran picked up on the agitation and shock in Lin Feng's words.
But he only thought Lin Feng was surprised, completely unaware that Lin Feng was actually thinking:
That guy actually dared to go to Jiang Ran's place? Excellent!
He's already marked for death!
Lin Feng was very excited: "Did you go out and catch him then?"
Jiang Ran was taken aback: "Why would you think I'd go out? Do you think I'm that brave?"
Lin Feng: "Uh..."
Jiang Ran said: "I didn't go out. After discovering he was at my door, I also sent a message to the manager Mao Li Zhishu. He didn't even reply. I asked him this morning, and he said that guy didn't go to their spot yesterday, so they let their guard down and fell asleep."
Lin Feng: "So that's it... By the way, Jiang Ran, did you call the police?"
Jiang Ran said: "I didn't, but Shangguan Fei did. The police also said to call them if we spot him, and they'll implement an arrest. But honestly, by the time the police arrive, that guy would have long run off. Plus, the surveillance footage keeps getting deleted, leaving no clues at all."
Lin Feng knew the dangers of this apartment complex.
Especially knowing that if you call the police about matters concerning this apartment.
Who knows if the ones who come are real police or fake police arranged by the apartment management.
Therefore, relying on that avenue was impossible.
He exchanged a few more pleasantries with Jiang Ran.
Finally, just before hanging up.
He said to Jiang Ran: "Oh, right, Jiang Ran, do you know which horror movie that guy's outfit is from?"
Jiang Ran said: "No idea, but the mask and outfit look familiar. I really don't know where it's from."
Lin Feng: "It's from the foreign horror movie 'Scream'. You can check it out."
Jiang Ran said: "Alright."
After hanging up.
Lin Feng over there threw his phone onto the sofa, then lay down fully on the sofa, looking sideways at Wang Ziyi who was watching TV.
While eating the fruit salad she made, Wang Ziyi was watching a Korean love drama.
Looking at the leisurely Wang Ziyi, the Ultimate Rich Kid Lin Feng felt a bit unbalanced in his heart.
He was here working himself to death, and she was here immersed in romance.
But then it occurred to him that Wang Ziyi was just a pretty vase. What could he expect from a vase?
Lin Feng rested his forehead in his left hand, feeling somewhat troubled.
If he found someone smart, it would definitely help him get through the next two rounds in Alice Apartment.
But the downside is, smart people are prone to backfire.
They're good at playing mind games.
He once had a friend who found a smart and beautiful woman. In the end, the emotional damage to that friend wasn't the main thing;the economic damage was huge.
Finding someone not smart, with nothing but beauty like Wang Ziyi.
Even if she wanted to secretly harm you, she couldn't cause much damage.
But the downside is, at times like this, she offers no help whatsoever.
Only now did Lin Feng realize that the world is full of double-edged swords.
