Chapter 29

Noticing the change in Tan Jia's expression, Guo Tongwen became more convinced of her guess. Thinking carefully about what Ren Ran had said, she admired Ren Ran even more.

It was lucky that she was smart and could think calmly about the hints and subtleties between her and Tan Jia after getting back. It was lucky that she understood what Ren Ran had said earlier, although Ren Ran did not say it directly, but had already hinted that there was someone behind the scenes manipulating this.

Now deceiving Tan Jia, the truth came out as expected.

These years in the palace fighting and family fighting were not watched in vain.

"You don't dare offend that person, so you dare offend us?"

"Since you've guessed it, why do you keep asking?" Tan Jia frowned.

"I want you to admit it yourself."

Tan Jia was annoyed by her until she didn't care anymore and blurted out, "Since you already know she instructed it, do you think you can fight her? Look how smart Ren Ran is, not getting involved herself but letting you do it instead. She is wary of that person, what basis do you have to dare oppose her?"

Guo Tongwen was stunned!

She thought the manipulator was Pei Ming or Xu Li, but listening to her tone and what she said, the manipulator was not them, but someone else, and this person was probably the only person in the class who could rival Ren Ran, only one person - Kong Lian.

"So it was her." Guo Tongwen suddenly realized.

"You tricked me!" Tan Jia reacted and became anxious and angry.

She thought they already knew, so she dared to say that. Even if Kong Lian knew, she couldn't blame her.

But now she realized she had been fooled and blurted it out like an idiot.

"Heh, I didn't trick you, but you have a guilty conscience."

Except for professional criminals, how many people have such high psychological quality?

"Guo Tongwen, please don't spread this out, okay? You and I are both knives in their hands, there is no need to injure each other for their sake."

Although she was unclear about Kong Lian's specific reasons for targeting Ren Ran, the differences were minor, it was normal for people of their status to compete with each other, not to mention Ren Ran's words last time that easily offended people and made the other party resent her, it was understandable.

"She gave me 100,000 yuan, I can split half with you. For you, this didn't cause any loss, and you can get 50,000 yuan, why not do it." Tan Jia tried to persuade her with reason and emotion.

100,000 yuan was a huge sum for high school students, even adults who had worked for many years might not necessarily have so much money in their pockets.

Her silence, in Tan Jia's eyes, was acquiescence.

No one could resist the lure of money.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing her about to leave, Tan Jia was dumbfounded and hurriedly shouted.

Guo Tongwen turned to look at Tan Jia, "I won't tell her, but I don't need your money either."

Tan Jia stood there watching her leave, stunned.

Returning to the classroom, Guo Tongwen subconsciously glanced at Ren Ran, who had her head lowered and was seriously doing exercises.

Did she know?

Or didn't know?

After struggling for an afternoon, Guo Tongwen finally couldn't stand it anymore and went over to Ren Ran and Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi glanced at her without saying a word.

After dinner, the three walked to the lake, Zhao Yi very tactfully walked ahead, keeping some distance between them.

"Do you know who is behind the scenes?"

"Yes." Ren Ran nodded honestly, not hiding anything.

"You want to use me against Kong Lian, right?"

"Whether it's using or cooperating depends on how you see it."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry, it's not something illegal or criminal. You just need to compare my parents with hers in front of Kong Lian."

"That simple?" Guo Tongwen was surprised.

"Of course, or did you want to do something else?" Ren Ran looked at her amused.

"Okay!"

"Aren't you afraid of me using you as a knife?" Ren Ran asked.

Guo Tongwen shook her head, "I'm willing to be used by you. At least you're more honest than her."

One was passive, the other took the initiative, there was still a big difference between the two, not to mention Kong Lian pulling her into this, they were already enemies.

Now it was just cooperating with someone who could oppose her to teach Kong Lian a lesson, it couldn't be called using, it could only be said they were helping each other.

It had to be said, Guo Tongwen was a master of subtle sarcasm. When she occasionally compared her with Kong Lian, her intentional and unintentional praise and criticism were definitely top notch skills.

Kong Lian's face grew worse day by day, until finally whenever she saw Guo Tongwen open her mouth, she would directly turn around and leave.

Her combat effectiveness was definitely given full marks by Ren Ran.

Kong Lian probably wouldn't last much longer before making a move.

Ren Ran gave Gao Ying the third task.

"Investigate this woman, all her information. The assets under her name, large expenditures over the past decade etc., the more detailed the better. Remember, be careful, don't let the other party notice."

Ren Ran sent Ruan Fengru's information to Gao Ying's phone.

Gao Ying glanced over the basic information of the mission target, although she was unclear about the young miss's purpose this time, but she could confirm one thing, the young miss must have follow up plans.

This was just like the previous two tasks.

The first time, she still didn't see through it. By the second task, she understood the young miss's real intentions.

She moved her father's private money into her own pocket, without having to spend a cent.

Each of the young miss's steps were calculated very well.

What she executed were the final steps, the previous steps were all completed by herself, and she didn't let Chairman Kong notice, just based on this Gao Ying didn't dare look down on this high schooler.

Sunday afternoon, Ren Ran was doing exercises when her phone on the table vibrated slightly.

Xu Zhaoyin sent a message.

[Kong Liji is shopping at a mall in Hangzhou with a mother and daughter.]

On the other end of the phone, Xu Zhaoyin felt very complicated sending this text, a little guilty and ashamed.

He almost made a big mistake.

Previously he had always thought Kong Liji was a good father and husband, but now seeing him hugging other women, the girl at his side calling him dad.

The family of three were happy together, making Xu Zhaoyin unable to resist wanting to slap himself a few times.

In less than a minute, Xu Zhaoyin received a reply from his employer.

[Keep close watch, share location.]

After Ren Ran sent Xu Zhaoyin the message, she went to the yard to find her mother arranging flowers.

"Mom, where did Dad go?"

"There was a last minute meeting today, he went back to the company." Ren Suya didn't look up, calmly and elegantly arranging the flowers. This tranquility and peace was about to cease to exist in a few hours.

For a moment, Ren Ran felt she was very cruel, personally destroying this peace.

The flash of reluctance in her heart was quickly occupied by reason and reality.

"Mom, I found a restaurant, let's eat there tonight. My treat!"

Ren Suya raised her head, "Let me call your dad to see if he's free."
