Chapter 125 - 80: Meeting Under the Moon
Inside the carriage, Wan Lu was spiritedly telling Ran Yan everything about Ge Lan.
The more Ran Yan listened, the more she felt that this was an extraordinary woman—intelligent, composed, and endlessly resourceful in dealing with the Gao family. Sometimes she appeared rather ruthless and despicable, but when it was time to show mercy, she left a sliver of hope; and when it was time to strike a final blow, she wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest. It was hard to believe that this was just a teenage girl.
"Xing Wife said that Jade Lady had a seven-orifice exquisite heart, it seems Ge Lan must have taken after her," Wan Lu remarked with emotion.
Ran Yan smiled faintly. People like Ge Lan were suited to live among the prominent clans; neither the former Ran Yan nor the current her were fit to worry over the struggles of the inner quarters.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t fight; on the contrary, if it really came to a confrontation, the Gao family might not be a match for Ran Yan. Besides, what was there for her to compete over? If a forensic doctor wanted to kill someone, there were plenty of ways to go unnoticed.
It’s just that her previous life was too solemn—all work and no play. In this life, she was destined not to make forensic science a career, so she needed to live freely and untroubled.
If those from the Ran household would keep to themselves, then there would be no need to cross paths. But if they truly provoked Ran Yan, she wouldn’t mind using these hands, skilled in dissection, to dissect a few living people.
The carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped. Outside, the night had grown pitch-dark, and the lamp on the carriage could only illuminate less than ten meters around it. Ran Yan looked out to see the wild grass stretching into the distance, creating an impression of profound coldness and stillness.
