Chapter 123: 122 Let’s see if it can scare me to death! (2 more updates)
In the evening, Yun Ran carried some items to the hot spring pool on the top floor, which could only be used by guests in the presidential suite.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she heard a piercing roar, "Did you ever love me?"
Then came a decisive female voice, "Never!"
Yun Ran: ...
This gave Yun Ran quite a scare. Wasn’t this supposed to be the most high-end hotel? Why were there such crazy scenes happening?
Goodness, she must have forgotten to check the almanac before leaving. Just listening to the voices of the two, she could guess that they were definitely a notorious couple, the kind that would bring trouble to anyone who glanced their way. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Stop!"
The tall, beautiful woman saw the elevator doors open and barged right in. Yun Ran quickly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding being hit.
The man was a bit slower, reaching out to stop the closing elevator doors, but he was too late.
The furious man vented his anger on Yun Ran, who was standing nearby, glaring at her with bloodshot eyes as if he wanted to eat her alive.
"How dare you obstruct me! Are you tired of living?"
Yun Ran rolled her eyes. Anyone with eyes could see that she had almost been hit just now!
Just then, the elevator doors unexpectedly reopened. The man, looking at the defiant yet aggrieved woman inside the elevator, seemed to have a sudden impulse. He reached out to grab Yun Ran.
He shouted, "If you have the guts, leave. Do you really think I can’t live without you? Do you see this woman? From today onwards, she’s my girlfriend!"
Hearing such absurd words made even the fearless Yun Ran feel appalled.
Especially seeing the reaching hand, Yun Ran felt that if she tolerated any longer, it would be damaging to herself.
Instantly, she used a grappling move to twist the arms of the man, who was a head taller than her, behind his back and added a chokehold, then kicked his knee so that he fell while she pressed him hard.
"Just because I didn’t speak doesn’t mean I’m a pushover. I’m just 16, and if I were to report you, you’d definitely be in trouble!"
The woman in the elevator looked at Yun Ran in shock, her voice breaking, "Do you know who you just hit?"
Yun Ran responded leisurely, "Oh, who? Tell me, let’s see if it scares me to death!"
"This is Mr. Han from the Han Family, Han Tianming!"
Yun Ran, who had been casual, thought seriously after hearing the name but, unfortunately, still couldn’t recall it.
She figured it must not be a big deal of a family. Otherwise, how could she not have heard of it? She suddenly felt unlucky and her disdain was even more apparent.
"Oh, well, I was acting in self-defense, wasn’t I? After all, it was this Mr. Han who attacked me, right? I’m in the clear~"
Perhaps having never suffered such a setback, Han Tianming and his first love, Chu Shuning, looked at Yun Ran in shock. They thought this woman must have something wrong with her mind.
"Let go of Tianming!"
"It’s not impossible to release him, just say if you want to settle this publicly or privately!"
For the first time, Han Tianming was pinned down by a woman, and by someone he almost used as a tool. Just as he was about to get angry, Yun Ran applied more pressure.
He could only cry out in pain.
"Privately, we’ll settle this privately. What do you want?"
Chu Shuning saw Han Tianming’s face turn pale and, setting other concerns aside, just wanted Yun Ran to let go quickly.
"Of course, compensation. You rushed into the elevator and couldn’t even see me, a grown person. If I hadn’t dodged quickly, you would’ve hit me.
I was seriously frightened and need some compensation for emotional distress, it’s not too much, right?
Also, this Mr. Han fought with you and tried to use me as a tool to provoke you, even laying hands on me, a 16-year-old girl, leaving me psychologically scarred.
Oh, and don’t accuse me of extorting you. I’m someone who can afford to stay in a presidential suite. I’ll have someone come up to discuss the compensation with you right away."
Now, both Chu Shuning and Han Tianming were rendered speechless by Yun Ran’s rather logical argument.
It was clear they’d done such scenes many times before, making many part of their play.
Yet, unexpectedly, they hit a solid opponent like Yun Ran this time.
The Yun Family’s special-employed lawyer, Jian Yan, quickly arrived on the scene, witnessing the third young miss pinning down a man dressed a bit skimpily.
If someone were to take a picture now and spin a story, the third young miss might land on the front page headlines.
That rotten reputation would gain another mark here in Huannan.
"Third Miss!"
Yun Ran quickly explained the situation, and after Jian Yan had recorded everything, she released the man.
"I’ll leave it to you!"
Jian Yan, being Yun Jinyang’s capable assistant, had astonishing combat strength in matters of reasonable compensation claims.
Having gained his freedom, Han Tianming immediately wanted to retaliate.
"Mr. Han, I have a habit of carrying a camera. Are you sure you want to beat our third miss in front of me? That wouldn’t be resolved by just some compensation."
Saying this, Jian Yan pulled a gilt-edged business card from his pocket and handed it to Han Tianming.
"I am Jian Yan, a senior partner of the International Lawyers Association and head of the legal department at Hai City Yun Group. Please believe I have the capability."
Hearing Jian Yan’s credentials, Han Tianming’s hand retreated immediately.
Chu Shuning realized as well that they could not afford to offend this young girl before them.
She could only assist Han Tianming in leaving, but her fleeting malicious glance was enough to show that she was not convinced.
Perhaps others wouldn’t notice such malice, but Yun Ran captured it just as it was emanating.
She immediately rolled her eyes—this Han Family she never heard of was nothing to her.
With the troublemakers gone, Jian Yan smiled at Yun Ran, "Third Miss, your combat power remains impressive. Keep up the good work. I’ll go handle the matter now."
Yun Ran: ...
Can she say she acted in self-defense? Actually, she’s usually quite a nice person.
However, she was genuinely disgusted by it earlier. Now, she just made that Han scumbag pay a bit, a bargain for them.
Next morning, seeing the five-million compensation had been credited, Yun Ran suddenly felt that Jian Yan was indeed an efficient lawyer.
[Host, someone from the Zhao Family is here to see you.]
Yun Ran suddenly felt a bit confused. She was just brought along by Yun Jinyang for exposure, so why would the Zhao Family be seeking her out?
It would be more reasonable if it were someone from the Special Administration Bureau’s South China Branch seeking her out.
