Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

Raymond said to Gu Ran in the passenger seat:

"Hey, young man, I don't think you need to come with us to retreat. You should spend some time with that girl."

Gu Ran rested her chin on her hand, looking at the scenery outside the car window, ignoring him.

"Do you think the world of mixed-race people is too chaotic and don't want ordinary people to get involved?"

Raymond seemed to see right through him.

He continued to say to Gu Ran, "This world is made up of an inner world and an outer world. No one can change this, just like Ragnarok and the resurrection of the Black King—it's something that's bound to happen. You don't need to give up your feelings because of something you can't stop. I can see that you like that girl too, don't you?"

Gu Ran couldn't deny Raymond's words from the bottom of her heart.

He does indeed have feelings for Su Xiaoqiang.

A beautiful and sexy girl repeatedly expressed her love for him.

He wasn't a block of wood or a cold-blooded animal; naturally, he had feelings for her.

But how could he respond? They were from two different worlds.

Especially after what happened last night.

This time, thankfully she was unharmed.

But what about next time?

Raymond knew that Gu Ran was carrying a heavy psychological burden.

He said to Gu Ran, "Do you know what? I'm married. My wife is an ordinary person."

Gu Ran was a little curious, so she looked at him.

“My wife is an ordinary person,” Raymond emphasized again. “She has absolutely no connection to the underworld. Her greatest pleasure is using my supplementary credit card to go on shopping sprees in Japan, and then she shares her spoils with me every time she comes back.”

Raymond seemed to have not chatted for a long time, and was happy to talk more with Gu Ran:

"My thinking is very simple. Saving the world is what geniuses with S-class bloodlines should do. As for me, I'll just do my job well and live a peaceful life with my wife."

"As for whether the world will end in the future, or whether we will still be alive after the end of the world... who cares! The most important thing is to live in the present and dare to love and do!"

"Think about it, if you miss out on that girl's feelings today, will you regret it later? If she misses out on you, will she regret it? Obviously, you will both regret it, right? So why not be together for now, and deal with the future later?"

Chapter 37 Norma's Authority

"Even the Secret Party doesn't oppose its members' freedom to date, so don't worry too much about things in the underworld."

Raymond spoke eloquently and said a lot, while Gu Ran listened silently.

"And such a hot chick, if you don't try her out, and just let another man have her, don't you think it's a waste? Hehehe..." Raymond revealed a lewd, old man's smile.

Gu Ran was speechless as the car wheel ran over his face.

"Does your wife know what your job entails?" Gu Ran asked him.

Raymond said, "She thought I was a security consultant, that is, a bodyguard. She didn't know anything about the underworld, after all, the Secret Society has a confidentiality agreement."

“I think the biggest problem between you and that girl is the long-distance relationship after school starts,” Raymond continued. “After all, Kassel College is not open to ordinary people. You know, that hilltop campus was a military fortress ten years ago.”

He smiled at Gu Ran and said, "So... I suggest you and that girl have more fun during the summer vacation, and then take a break from your freshman year of college."

"Take a leave of absence?" Gu Ran looked puzzled. "Why would I take a leave of absence for no reason?"

"Maternity leave!" Raymond said with a smile.

Gu Ran immediately wanted to kick the old driver out of the car.

The car had been driving for a while and was almost back in the city.

Gu Ran asked him, "Has Norma found any information about the assassin's identity?"

When it came to serious matters, Raymond regained his serious demeanor.

"Pasong Charonpong is a mercenary of mixed Chinese and Thai descent, holding a Thai passport. He was born in the Golden Triangle, a region historically home to several defeated military groups that have roamed the area..."

Basong Charonpong's father was Chinese. His defeated army wandered around and first ended up in Myanmar.

Myanmar was naturally unwilling; how could it allow others to sleep soundly beside its own bed?

So they had to be driven away immediately.

As it turned out, the Burmese army's combat effectiveness was too weak. Even with air cover, they couldn't defeat that defeated army, and the entire northern Myanmar was taken over.

Myanmar had no choice but to seek help from the United Nations at the time.

Then this defeated army was driven to other places, eventually settling in the Golden Triangle, which is the border area of ​​Myanmar, Thailand and Laos, a no-man's-land.

Many people marry and have children in this place.

Basong Charonpong was born in the 1970s, and Norma couldn't find out which of his parents was of mixed race.

Norma only found out that Basong Jalunpong had worked as a mercenary on the Middle Eastern battlefield and had a lot of blood on his hands. His awakening of the Word of Power should have been when he was twenty years old.

He could use his magical words to ambush enemies on the battlefield, and many people died from his inexplicable throwing knives.

Later, he quit being a mercenary and registered on a hunter's website to become a hunter himself.

As for his hunter activity records, they are very secretive, and Norma cannot find them yet.

The identity of the employer who kidnapped Gu Ran remains unknown.

Norma was unable to find any connection between him and others, not even indirect evidence.

After listening to Raymond's words, Gu Ran asked, "So, in other words, we still know nothing about the person behind this?"

“Yes, the person who commissioned you is cunning and didn’t leave any electronic clues,” Raymond said. “But don’t worry, after this failure, they won’t kidnap you again. After all, even A-level hunters failed, and there are only a handful of A-level hunters on the hunter website.”

"Oh right, what about those three ordinary kidnappers?" Gu Ran thought of the three people who had followed him into the quagmire.

Raymond said, "In the morning, villagers from the neighborhood reported to the police station that the bodies of the three men had been found in the water."

Gu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then said, "It's to silence them."

“These three men were mercenaries, from northern Vietnam.” Raymond nodded and continued, “Perhaps they had met the client, so they were silenced.”

“Don’t worry, Norma is monitoring you in real time. If there’s any news that’s bad for you, you’ll get a warning immediately,” Raymond said. “This time, it’s the principal’s order.”

"Principal?" Gu Ran was taken aback, not expecting that Angers also knew about this.

Raymond said, "The principal cares about you quite a bit and even made an exception to allow you to use Norma's privileges before the start of the semester... Although it's only limited privileges, it's enough to ensure your safety."

Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he no longer needed to worry about safety during the summer vacation.

After this series of events, he came to terms with it, and his mindset began to change.

……

Another week passed, and the college entrance examination results were released, a fierce competition among thousands of students.

That afternoon, Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang were reading together at the city library.

Gu Ran found many psychology books and wrote a short paper about the relationship between the exposure effect and feelings that develop over time.

"Research has shown that when two people spend a lot of time together, even if neither of them thinks they have developed feelings for the other, the familiarity they develop creates a primal attraction between them. This attraction is released slowly, like the sublimation of a camphor ball, and with the accumulation of time, it will burst forth at a certain point and transform into feelings of love... which is what we often call 'love growing over time'."

This short paper was sent to Professor Guderian. The main content of the paper was to discuss the possibility of two divers developing feelings for each other after spending a lot of time together. It was almost as if it was explicitly stating that Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaqi were in love.

At this point, even if Guderian is incredibly thick-skinned, he should understand something by now.

But Gu Ran was still worried that the old German man wouldn't understand, so he got the principal's email address through Norma.

I also sent him a copy of this short paper.

Gu Ran left the rest to himself; this was enough.

He's just a student who hasn't even started school yet; doing too much would easily arouse suspicion.

After sending the paper out, Gu Ran returned the book to the shelf and then closed her laptop.

Su Xiaoqiang, who was reading a book across from him, looked up and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Ah."

"I'm going to the restroom. Wait for me in the corridor," Su Xiaoqiang whispered to Gu Ran.

"it is good."

Gu Ran was admiring the scenery in the library's corridor.

It needs to be quiet in the reading room, but you can talk outside in the corridor. People make phone calls or chat quietly there.

This place is so quiet and beautiful.

I wish I could live such a peaceful life forever.

"Hey, isn't this Gu Ran?"

At this moment, a man who was about 1.75 meters tall walked over.

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and shorts tracksuit from a foreign sportswear brand, and a pair of very exaggerated red skateboard shoes.

What's most eye-catching is that his hair is dyed in two colors, red and gold, on one side and half.

Chapter 38 Ambiguity

In Gu Ran's memory, it was rare to see someone dye their hair one color on each side.

You could say he's non-mainstream, but he's not completely non-mainstream; yet, you could also say he's a bit mentally unstable.

Gu Ran stared at him, racking her brains for a while, but still couldn't remember who he was.

"Pretend you don't know me? You're still as gloomy as ever!" The man reached out and rudely stroked Gu Ran's face.

Gu Ran frowned.

Although it was just a light touch, without any force.

But he still felt offended.

If we go somewhere where there's no one around...

I might have to beat him up.

It seemed that it was because of these two actions that Gu Ran finally remembered who this person was.
