Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Doubts

"She?" Lin Chan pondered for a moment and said, "I guess Ding Long’s company is partly owned by Gu En, and since Ding Long’s business is growing larger, she wouldn’t normally cross paths with your Lanteng Company, since both companies have no business competition. However, think about it, a crazy person’s heart is unfathomable by normal standards. Be extra cautious just in case."

After reminding He Zhilan of some things she should be aware of, Lin Chan urged her to take a midday rest. Whatever was happening in S Province, Lin Chan was aware of it all; he had even met Niu Rang himself and was profoundly moved by his sacrifice, let alone He Zhilan.

During this time, besides following Nuoyin in the perfume research and development progress, He Zhilan paid more attention to the progress of the clues left in the gun by Niu Rang.

For two straight days, there was still no news from Xing Ye and He Teng, but from the capital, they sent Lan Li down to assist, clearly showing the high importance they attached to this matter.

However, the choice of person sent was somewhat dumbfounding for Xing Ye and He Zhilan. Did the upper echelons not know that Lan Li and Xing Ye were sworn enemies?

Nevertheless, putting aside some political issues, Lan Li and He Teng were indeed the best help for the situation because both were more familiar with the matters here than anyone else.

The day Lan Li arrived, Xing Ye graciously played the host and reserved a table at a restaurant, inviting He Zhilan and bringing along Bian Xiulin to join in the lively gathering.

Even though Lan Li was accompanied by three other comrades, the invitation sent out by Xing Ye was for an old friends’ gathering, hence, only Lan Li showed up.

Seeing He Zhilan present, Lan Li was a bit surprised; he genuinely did not know that He Zhilan was in S Province.

One could say Lan Li and He Teng were quite matched in temperament, generally expressionless. However, since being together with He Zhilan, He Teng had undergone many changes compared to before, whereas Lan Li still resembled a moving ice block.

After sitting down, Lan Li simply nodded faintly towards He Zhilan as a greeting and casually asked, "How come you are here?"

The news of He Zhilan and He Teng’s remarriage was well known throughout the capital, especially within their circle. Both Old Master Lan and Old Master Gu had attended their wedding banquet, and He Teng had also heard about it from his own grandfather, though the matter was known only to the three of them.

"Why can’t I be here? Gu En is also in S Province." He Zhilan retorted with a smile, not really smiling. However, there was a hint of irony in her tone.

Previously, Lan Li found her displeasing in every aspect, but now, she found everything about him irritating. One could say, their fate simply clashed.

Hearing that Gu En was also in S Province, Lan Li was a bit taken aback. He paused, not saying anything, and proceeded to lower his head and start eating.

Since everyone present was familiar, Xing Ye and He Teng didn’t shirk away from discussing matters openly as they brought up the note left in the gun by Niu Rang, which was a headache for both.

"What do those sequences of letters and numbers mean, after all? You guys can’t decrypt it. It must be something significant that Niu Rang got from somewhere. After so many days, we can’t just let it remain a mystery, can we?" Bian Xiulin remarked, "Wouldn’t that mean Niu Rang’s sacrifice was in vain?"

"That won’t happen," replied He Teng resolutely, saying just those three words.
