Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1097 - Chapter 1097 Chapter 1096 The Rift

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1096: The Rift Chapter 1097: Chapter 1096: The Rift Shi Cin nodded as he took it in hand. “This is the watch, how did you get it?” The value of this watch far exceeded its own worth, and if it fell into the hands of the police, their trouble would be immense.

Shi Cin’s gaze towards Leng Ran had completely changed since yesterday. It was not just acknowledgment before, but today it had turned into admiration.

Indeed, he was worthy of defeating Leng Tianqi.

He really had some skills.

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Leng Ran said with a slight frown, a trace of complexity on her pale, aloof face.

As Feng Sha started the car, he reminded her, “Don’t forget what your main mission is!” Retrieving a watch was merely incidental.

“Of course I haven’t forgotten.”

“Have you done it then? You’ve been delaying for quite some time now, and if you keep dragging your feet, you’ll be the only one to suffer.”

Leng Ran bit her lip and snorted coldly, her sarcasm apparent as she looked at Feng Sha with impatience. “I don’t need you to remind me of my affairs; just take care of your own!”

“Hmph!” Feng Sha let out a scornful chuckle and fell silent.

Shi Cin looked at Leng Ran with complete submission in his eyes. Compared to Leng Yi’s meek demeanor in front of people like Feng Sha, Leng Ran undoubtedly had more courage and resembled Leng Peixi from the past. If they were to have her as the behind-the-scenes boss in Dark Street in the future, their voice would certainly become more influential.

The car sped along the highway, but Leng Ran’s frown never eased. Her slender body leaned against the black seatback, making her look more like an underage girl. After all, she was at the age to be attending university.

But Leng Peixi had already deprived her of the right to go to college.

Shi Cin watched Leng Ran without a word and after a long time, he finally said, “Miss Leng Ran, in the future, all of Dark Street’s forces will be at your disposal, and my life will also be yours.”

Leng Ran turned her head, her eyes surprisingly bright. “That’s very conscious of you.” When Leng Peixi handed over Dark Street to her, Shi Cin’s life was already hers.

“Is there anything I can do for you?”

“For now, you can’t do anything,” Leng Ran said, her expression silent as she was immersed in thoughts of her previous conversation with Jiang Nanfei. This was her first real move, aiming to drive a wedge between Jiang Nanfei and Huo Beijiang before they could.

No matter how close the relationship, it would not withstand deliberate provocation, nor the test of human nature. And betrayal, exploitation, scheming were all the greatest weaknesses. She believed that, with time, this gap would only widen, eventually becoming irreparable.

Leng Ran sighed softly in her heart, looking unconsciously at the palm of her hand. These hands had never been stained with blood, and the first time they were used was on her close friend.

People’s Liberation Army General Hospital—-

Today, Wei Qin’s room was exceptionally lively. Besides Wei Fangyi, who visited daily, Tang Lan and Jin Lifu, who had not been seen for a while, also came. Their main purpose was to bring Tang Qian.

Ever since she knew the truth, Tang Qian had fallen ill, rather unstable mentally. During this time, she had been staying in another hospital, with Tang Lan constantly by her side. Now that she was better, the doctor finally allowed her discharge, and she came to see her eldest son at the first opportunity.

Since her arrival, Tang Qian shrank into a corner, her mind in a daze, having retired early from her job due to illness. She occasionally stole glances at Wei Qin, wanting to talk to him but unable to muster the courage.

She was such a failure, so foolish–what right did she have to speak to Wei Qin?
