Chapter One :Chapter 1

Misty Mountain.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, gunshots reverberated through the serene mountain forest.

Lin Anran immediately squatted down, looking around. She spotted a man dressed in a black windbreaker staggeringly walking towards her. It was clear that he was injured.

Lin Anran, crouched low, quietly moved towards the scene. She saw several burly foreign men quickly closing in with a fierce demeanor.

"Keep chasing, the kid won't get away!" The voice of the pursuer was gruff.

Hiding behind a large tree, the injured Gu Beichen pulled out a pistol with a silencer from his chest. Taking aim at a curly-haired man who was running at the fore, he pulled the trigger.

With a 'swhoosh', the man fell down.

"Boss, we've got a situation!" Two armed foreign men quickly surrounded Gu Beichen.

Lin Anran realized that the situation was becoming dangerous. If she didn't intervene now, this man would likely die right here.

Taking the strides of three as two, she rushed beside Gu Beichen, whispering, "You're injured, eat this." As she spoke, she handed him a medicinal pill.

Gu Beichen's eyes narrowed as he forcefully grabbed Lin Anran's arm, pushing her to a slope nearby. His voice was cold as ice, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Anyone that could freely access this area was, undoubtedly, not ordinary.

Meeting his icy gaze with a calm countenance, Lin Anran replied, "If you want to live, let me go first."

The grip of Gu Beichen's hand loosened slightly.

The excessive loss of blood made him feel increasingly weak. The world in front of him turned black, and he passed out.

Lin Anran acted swiftly, stabilizing the unconscious Gu Beichen.

She looked around, ensuring that there were no pursuers in the vicinity before quickly drawing a dart from her pocket.

She flicked her wrist, the dart whistled through the air, aiming straight at two pursuers.

Before they could react, they fell to the ground clutching their throats, with blood sprinkling everywhere.

Lin Anran hastily pulled Gu Beichen to an open area, unbuttoned his trench coat and examined his injuries.

The condition was worse than she had anticipated: a bullet had hit his left scapula, another had grazed his right arm, and to make the matters worse, he was also poisoned.

Quickly, she took out her emergency first-aid kit. With practiced ease, she extracted the bullet and used a silver needle to stop the bleeding. Then, she pulled out a black pill from the bag and popped it into Gu Beichen's mouth, following it up with dressing the wound.

After a while, Gu Beichen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the pain subsiding, he saw Lin Anran's face in his drowsy state, as if he was dreaming.

In his dream, a beautiful fairy was saving his life.

He opened his mouth, attempting to speak, but no sound came out.

It was then Lin Anran noticed a crack on his face. She scrutinized it, and it seemed like... a human skin mask.

Driven by curiosity, she wanted to know the man's real appearance, she reached out to pull off the mask.

Suddenly, the sound of a helicopter reverberated from afar.

Nevermind, who he is mattered little, chances were that they would never meet again.

She had to leave quickly.

"You've been poisoned. Take this medicine, and swallow one when the poison flares up." Lin An Ran stuffed a small medicine bottle into Gu Bei Chen's hand, slung her rucksack over her shoulder, and prepared to leave.

Gu Bei Chen wanted to reach out and grab her, but he was too weak and could only watch helplessly as Lin An Ran's figure gradually disappeared.

...

Five years later,

At the bottom of Gu's Group skyscraper in City B.

Lin An Ran stepped out of a taxi, tilted her head back to look up at the towering building, just as she was about to enter the company, her phone suddenly rang.

"Hello." Answered a clear and cold young woman's voice.

Jiang Hao Sen was extremely excited. "Ran Jie, I heard that you are coming to city B? When are you arriving?"

Jiang Hao Sen and Lin An Ran had known each other since childhood and was currently a doctor in a medical research institute.

"Uh huh, I’m already here." Lin An Ran replied absentmindedly.

"What? You’re already here?? That's great. We ran into a little problem in the lab." Jiang Hao Sen was very excited. As long as Ran Jie was here, they could overcome any problems.

Upon hearing this, Lin An Ran frowned, and said in a light voice, "Who said I was going to the medical research institute?"

Jiang Hao Sen: "......" So Ran Jie’s coming to City B, but she’s not coming to the medical research institute? Then, why did she come?

Jiang Hao Sen asked tentatively, "Ran Jie, are you not returning to the medical research institute?"

"Is there any special task? Do you need my help?"

"I'm getting married, dating, how can you help?" Lin Anran asked with a chuckle.

Suddenly, the other side of the phone went quiet, clearly still too shocked to react.

Ten seconds later, Jiang Haosen could no longer control his excited emotions: "No way! Sister Ran, why are you suddenly getting married, and to who?"

He was too surprised! How could Sister Ran be getting married without anyone knowing?

"Gu Beichen." Lin Anran revealed without any hesitation.

The other end of the phone was clearly shocked again.

Jiang Haosen asked a bit gossiping: "Sister Ran, what's going on?"

Both of them are so strong, won't they fight if they get together? He had never heard of any connection between them before.

Lin Anran was a bit annoyed with him, and didn't want to discuss this issue any further.

"If you're okay, I'm going to hang up."

Jiang Haosen was a bit anxious, and hurriedly said, "Sister Ran, when you get married and date, you will definitely be bored. You can guide me a bit."

Lin Anran pinched her brow, somewhat helpless, and sighed lightly: "I've already promised Grandpa Mo to go to Qingbei University, I won't get bored. As for you, I will come to see you when I have time."

Jiang Haosen: "..."

He was a bit sad! Sister Ran is actually going to Qingbei University.

"Never mind, at least I'm in City B, which is much more convenient."

After hanging up the phone, she looked again at the building in front of her.

Since she was a child, she was taken back to the village by her grandmother. Her grandmother treated her as if she were her own granddaughter, raising her as she grew up.

Ever since she was a child, she was very intelligent and had a great memory. Her grandmother passed on to her all she knew, and later sent her abroad for further studies.

Before she passed away, her grandmother told her that the ruling figure of the Gu family in City B, Gu Beichen, was engaged to her. Her grandmother's only hope was that she could fulfil this marriage, find a home of her own and have someone to rely on. Whenever she thought of her grandmother, a sour feeling rose in her nose.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll fulfill your last wish."
