Suddenly Chen Ran's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw it was Bai Zhiruo calling. He pressed the answer button, "Hello, Bai Zhiruo, what's up?"
Bai Zhiruo's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Honey, I saw some news online saying that you're cooperating with Saudi Arabia to develop new energy sources. Is that true?"
Chen Ran was taken aback. "Where did you see that?"
“Online. Many media outlets are reporting on this,” Bai Zhiruo replied.
Chen Ran frowned. "I haven't finished discussing this matter with our company yet. You haven't said anything out of the blue, have you?"
Bai Zhiruo frowned upon hearing this. "No, I didn't say anything. But I'm worried that others might spread rumors."
Chen Ran comforted him, "It's okay, I'll handle it."
He hung up the phone and looked at Sophie. "I'm sorry, something urgent has come up. Let's talk again later."
Sophie smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Chen Ran left the coffee shop and got into a car. The car quickly started and drove towards the company.
In the car, Chen Ran pondered Sophie's identity and purpose. He felt that Sophie was no ordinary person and was very likely connected to the organization behind her.
A sense of foreboding washed over Chen Ran; he felt as if he had been drawn into a massive conspiracy. He tried to calm himself and think about how to deal with the situation.
Upon returning to the company, Chen Ran immediately convened an emergency meeting with his team. He briefed the team members on the cooperation with Saudi Arabia and asked them to prepare for dealing with the media and the market.
After the meeting, Chen Ran remained alone in the conference room, contemplating his next move (Li Wang Zhao). He knew that the success or failure of this collaborative project would directly impact the company's future development, so he had to proceed with caution.
Just then, his phone rang again. He glanced at it; it was Sophie calling. He hesitated for a moment, then finally answered.
Sophie said on the phone, "Chen Ran, I hope we can meet again."
Chen Ran replied, "I'm sorry, I'm a bit busy right now. Let's schedule another time."
Chapter 111: Secret Society
Sophie insisted, "I think we need to meet as soon as possible. I have some important things to discuss with you."
Chen Ran felt somewhat uneasy after hearing this. He didn't know what Sophie wanted to discuss with him, but he decided to go see her. He said, "Okay, you name the time and place."
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Okay, see you at the same coffee shop tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Chen Ran nodded. "Okay, see you tomorrow."
The next afternoon, Chen Ran arrived at the coffee shop on time. He saw Sophie already waiting there, so he went over to her.
Sophie saw Chen Ran and greeted him with a smile, "You've arrived."
Chen Ran nodded. "Yes, I'm here."
Sophie looked into Chen Ran's eyes and said seriously, "Chen Ran, I have something important to discuss with you."
Chen Ran felt a little nervous after hearing this. He didn't know what Sophie wanted to discuss with him, but he decided to listen carefully.
Sophie looked at Chen Ran, took a deep breath, and said, "Chen Ran, I hope you can join our organization."
Chen Ran was very surprised after hearing this. He hadn't expected Sophie to make such a request. He looked into Sophie's eyes and asked, "What does your organization do?"
Sophie replied, "Our organization is a secret society dedicated to maintaining world peace and stability. We possess significant strength and resources to help people solve various problems."
Chen Ran was even more surprised after hearing this. He had never heard of such an organization before, nor did he know why they had invited him to join. He looked into Sophie's eyes and asked, "Why did you choose me?"
Sophie looked into Chen Ran's eyes and said earnestly, "Because you have a unique quality that makes us very curious. We believe in your abilities and potential, and think you are a talent worth nurturing."
Chen Ran was somewhat moved after hearing this. He hadn't met such a direct and sincere person in a long time. However, he still hesitated, "I need to think about it."
Sophie looked at Chen Ran and smiled, saying, "Of course, you can consider it. However, I hope you will seriously consider this opportunity. If you join our organization, you will have the opportunity to meet more people and experience more things, and to unleash your abilities and potential."
Chen Ran nodded. "Okay, I will consider it seriously."
Sophie looked into Chen Ran's eyes and said earnestly, "Chen Ran, I hope you can make the right choice. Whatever decision you make, I will respect it."
Chen Ran felt Sophie's enthusiasm and sincerity, and he believed he could make the right decision. No matter what lay ahead, he was not afraid.
After their conversation ended, Sophie gave Chen Ran her contact information, and Chen Ran gave her his. They exchanged contact information to ensure they could stay in touch in the future.
After that, Chen Ran returned to the company. Thinking about his conversation with Sophie, he realized he needed more time to consider. He decided to carefully reflect on his conversation with Sophie before making a final decision.
Meanwhile, Sophie returned to the organization. Thinking of Chen Ran's resolute gaze and earnest attitude, she felt he was someone she could trust and rely on. Whatever the final outcome, she would respect his decision.
Chapter 112: Waiting for My Return
Two days passed, and Chen Ran still hadn't received a call from Sophie. On the morning of the third day, Chen Ran was busy working at the company when he suddenly saw Sophie's call. He quickly pressed the answer button, "Hello, Sophie, what's up?"
Sophie said on the other end of the phone, "Chen Ran, I think you've made up your mind."
Chen Ran replied, "Yes, I've thought it over. I'm willing to join your organization."
Sophie smiled happily on the other end of the phone, "Really? That's great! Welcome to our organization!"
Chen Ran smiled and said, "Thank you. But I have one condition."
Sophie listened to Chen Ran's words and smiled, saying, "Go ahead and say it, any conditions are fine."
Chen Ran said, "I hope you can protect my wife, Bai Zhiruo."
Sophie was puzzled after hearing this. "Why? Did something happen to her?"
Chen Ran replied, "Yes, she is in danger right now. I hope you can protect her safety."
After hearing this, Sophie said seriously, "We will investigate thoroughly and do everything we can to protect her."
Chen Ran felt somewhat relieved after hearing this. He knew Sophie was serious and believed her promise. He said, "Thank you. I will contact you as soon as possible to arrange a time and place to meet."
After hearing this, Sophie smiled and said, "Okay, we look forward to your arrival. Chen Ran, you will be an important member of our organization."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran felt extremely excited. He knew his life was about to undergo a dramatic change, but he also knew he had to face this challenge. He decided to be honest with Bai Zhiruo and let her know his decision and reasons.
That evening, Chen Ran returned home. He saw Bai Zhiruo watching TV in the living room. He walked over, sat down beside her, and said softly, "Zhiruo, I have something to discuss with you."
Bai Zhiruo looked at Chen Ran and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chen Ran took a deep breath and said seriously, "I plan to join an organization that can help people solve various problems. However, I need to leave for a period of time to receive training and undertake tasks."
Bai Zhiruo was extremely surprised upon hearing this. She had never expected Chen Ran to make such a decision. Looking into Chen Ran's eyes, she asked, "How long are you going to be gone?"
0 ·····Requesting flowers·· ·····
Chen Ran replied, "I don't know, it might be a long time. But I will do my best to protect your safety."
Bai Zhiruo felt a little worried after hearing this. She knew Chen Ran's decision was irreversible, but she still hoped he could stay. She looked into Chen Ran's eyes...
She said earnestly, "Chen Ran, I don't want you to leave. I don't want to lose you."
..... .... 0
Chen Ran looked into Bai Zhiruo's eyes and said firmly, "Zhiruo, I have to go. This is my decision, and my responsibility. But I will do everything in my power to protect your safety. Trust me, okay?"
Bai Zhiruo was deeply moved after hearing this. She knew Chen Ran was serious and that she couldn't change his decision. Looking into Chen Ran's eyes, she smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you. Wherever you go, whatever difficulties you encounter, I will wait for you to come back."
Chen Ran felt very warm upon hearing this. He knew Bai Zhiruo would support his decision and wait for his return. He said, "Zhiruo, I'll be back as soon as possible. You must take good care of yourself and not worry me."
Chapter 113: The Prison
After hearing this, Bai Zhiruo nodded seriously, "Okay, I will."
The next day, Chen Ran and Sophie met at a coffee shop. Sophie was dressed in a black business suit, looking very capable. She smiled at Chen Ran and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Chen Ran looked into Sophie's eyes and said firmly, "Yes, I've thought it through. I'm willing to join your organization."
Sophie was overjoyed upon hearing this. She knew Chen Ran was a trustworthy and reliable person. She smiled and said, "Welcome to our organization. We will do our best to support you and help you become an excellent member."
Chen Ran was deeply moved upon hearing this. He knew his life was about to undergo a dramatic change, but he also knew he had to face the challenge. He said, "Thank you. I will do my best in my studies and work to contribute to the organization."
Sophie nodded seriously after listening. "Okay, I believe you. We will arrange training and work tasks for you in the coming days. Are you ready?"
After hearing this, Chen Ran said firmly, "Yes, I'm ready."
After hearing this, Sophie smiled and said, "Okay, we look forward to your performance. I believe you will become an excellent member."
In the days that followed, Chen Ran began an intense and fulfilling training program. Every day he learned various skills and knowledge, including combat techniques, intelligence gathering, and crisis management. He knew these skills would play a crucial role in future missions.
Bai Zhiruo also started her own work. She became a designer at a company and worked busily every day. Although she missed Chen Ran very much, she knew that Chen Ran was doing what he wanted to do, so she silently supported him.
Several months later, Chen Ran finished his training and began his mission. He was sent to a city to investigate a company's illegal activities. He knew this mission was extremely important and that his performance would affect the reputation of the entire organization.
Bai Zhiruo was also busy working. Suddenly, she received a message from Chen Ran. "Zhiruo, I have an urgent mission to handle. I have to leave for a while. Take good care of yourself and don't worry me..." After reading it, Bai Zhiruo felt a little worried, but knowing the nature of Chen Ran's work, she silently supported him.
A few days later, Bai Zhiruo suddenly received a message from Chen Ran. "Zhiruo, I'm so sorry to tell you this. I encountered danger while on a mission. I'm currently being held captive. But don't worry, I'll do everything I can to escape." After reading it, Bai Zhiruo felt frightened and worried. She didn't know how bad Chen Ran's situation was, nor did she know what she should do.
She tried to contact Chen Ran, but received no response. Bai Zhiruo grew increasingly frightened and decided to go to the place Chen Ran was last seen. She contacted several of Chen Ran's friends and eventually learned that Chen Ran might be being held captive in an abandoned factory. Bai Zhiruo set off without hesitation.
She arrived at the factory and saw Chen Ran locked in a cell. She felt afraid, but knew Chen Ran wouldn't give up. Mustering her courage, she approached Chen Ran, and seeing the scars on his face and his weary expression, her heart clenched.
Chapter 114: Falling into a Desperate Situation
"Ranran, how... how are you?" Bai Zhiruo asked softly.
"Zhiruo, I..." Chen Ran had just started to speak when he heard footsteps outside. Two men in black suits walked over. "Come on, the boss wants to see you." They grabbed Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo and led them into an office in the factory.
There was a man sitting behind his desk in the office. He had a smile on his face and looked kind and approachable.
