After being dumped, I turned around and married my ex-boyfriend's younger brother.

Chapter 96 Are you teaching me how to do something?

Meng Ran waved her hand, "I thought our relationship had progressed, but a few days ago when we went out to eat, my brother saw us. After that, he secretly invited me out, and I followed him. I saw my brother talking to me like he was interrogating me. I was scared when I saw it, let alone him. He hasn't contacted me since, and he hasn't replied to my messages."

Meng Ran gets a headache just thinking about it now.

“Yiyi, do you think it might be that my brother said something really hurtful to him? Otherwise, why would he ignore me and act like he’s disappeared?”

That's hard to say.

Su Yiran asked, "Did your brother say anything to you after that?"

"No."

Meng Ran shook her head. "He's just like everyone else, leaving early and returning late. I rarely get to see him... Yi Yi, what should I do? What if Song Yanqing really stops talking to me?"

No!

I'm going to find him. I have to find out what my brother said to him!

Meng Ran got up, grabbed her bag, and left the gallery. She bumped into Yan Yuan as she was leaving.

"what!"

The two said in unison.

"Sister Ran."

"Are you alright? I'm sorry. If you need to go to the hospital, I'll reimburse you. I have to go now."

Meng Ran rubbed her head, and without waiting for the other person to speak, she waved and left.

Watching Meng Ran's hurried figure, Yan Yuan rubbed her face and walked in. "Sister Yi Ran, where is Sister Ran going in such a hurry?"

"Who knows her?"

Su Yiran didn't say anything directly, but instead looked at her and asked, "How are you? You were hit by a car. Are you injured? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No need, I'm not that frail."

Yan Yuan shook her head and handed her the documents in her hand. "This is the preliminary list of invitees for the art exhibition. A few of the people we had previously agreed to come just called today to say that they had something come up and couldn't make it."

Su Yiran flipped through the list but didn't see a single name. "Song Yanqing is also not coming?"

Yan Yuan nodded, "Yes, they said they were going back to their hometown. Judging by the time, they should be at the airport now, ready to board the plane."

"Airport?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yiran gasped, "Send me a copy of Song Yanqing's information right now, I need it now."

"Ok."

Yan Yuan went out.

Song Yanqing left. What a coincidence! If Meng Ran knew about this, she would go crazy on the spot.

Yan Yuan acted quickly, and in no time she sent Song Yanqing's information to her email.

Su Yiran immediately sent a message to Meng Ran, and then made a phone call, saying, "Song Yanqing is probably not home at this time; he's at the airport."

Meng Ran was silent for a moment, then asked, "What did you say? What was he doing at the airport? How did you know?"

"Song Yanqing declined our invitation to the event..."

Su Yiran stood by the window and gave a brief account of what had happened. Her gaze fell outside the window, where a figure caught her eye.

It's him.

That heartless private investigator!

"That's how it is. Whether you want to ask for clarification is up to you. I have other things to do, I'm hanging up."

Su Yiran hung up the phone, grabbed a broom from the storage room, and stormed out.

"You heartless bastard, stop right there!"

The private investigator was across the street, and the light was green. Su Yiran ran over, and before he could react, the broom in her hand slammed down on him.

"You...you calm down!"

The private investigator, terrified after being beaten, ran around in panic, yelling, "How dare you hit someone in public like this? Do you believe I'll call the police and have you arrested!"

"Go ahead and call the police, you'd better hurry up and don't make me look down on you!"

Su Yiran was furious. She gripped the broom tightly and approached step by step. "You cheated me out of my money and you still dare to show up in front of me. You have some nerve."

An angry woman is not to be trifled with, and an angry Su Yiran is even more so.

As the figure approached, the private investigator instinctively scrambled away, but he twisted his ankle.

"Is there some misunderstanding?"

The private investigator said, forcing a smile, "You pay me, I do the work. I can't just say I cheated you because I didn't meet your expectations. That wouldn't be fair to me. It's just a mutually agreeable transaction."

"fair?"

Su Yiran was amused by his words, "You used a set of fake information to deceive me, and then disappeared without a trace. Do you really think I, Su Yiran, am a sucker who would suffer in silence? Let me tell you, if you don't return my money, I'm not done with you!"

"Even if you beat me to death, I won't get it. Go ahead and call the police if you dare. Neither of us will get away with it!"

The private investigator's exploratory actions were reckless and irresponsible. Even if they were upright and honest in their line of work, if things really came to light, she wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.

He refused to believe that she would actually dare to beat her to death.

"threaten me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yiran squatted down in front of him, a smirk playing on her lips. "You've been in Kyoto for quite some time now, and you make a living this way too. What do you say if I were to get to know your enemies better?"

To dare ask for such a high price, the clients they've dealt with before must have been quite influential, and they must have offended quite a few people.

Sure enough, the other party turned pale upon hearing this, but remained defiant, saying, "Who do you think you are? If you're really that capable, why bother hiring a private investigator? You can investigate yourself. Don't try to fool me!"

"What's it to you? You tell me how to do things!"

Su Yiran rolled her eyes at him, then smiled and said with a light laugh, "If you think I'm lying to you, we can take a gamble, but I don't know if your life is tough enough."

"..."

People cherish their lives.

The man took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I don't have that much money."

Su Yiran's voice turned cold, "I'm talking to you nicely, do you think I'm stupid and easy to fool!"

The man looked at the broom in her hand and muttered under his breath, "You call this speaking properly?"

"..."

Su Yiran raised an eyebrow as she listened to his words. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're having a good time playing both sides, aren't you? How much money did the Liu family give you?"

The man's face turned pale. "What Liu family? I don't know anything about them."

"If you don't know, then why are you nervous? Tell me!"

"I really do not know!"

"You really won't tell?"

Su Yiran looked at him, her voice suddenly softening, "I thought you lacked professional ethics, but now it seems I paid you too little. I was originally thinking that if you had been honest with me and made me happy, I would have waived the previous payment, but it seems..."

"I said."

The man looked at her and held up two fingers.

Su Yiran tentatively asked, "Two hundred thousand?"

The man shook his head, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and whispered, "Two million."

"..."

This number left Su Yiran completely bewildered.
