She thought Kassel College was weird; studying aliens and ancient reptiles was less appealing than dating!
Liu Miaomiao also admired Gu Ran for being accepted.
Because she practically cried after her interview.
She discovered that Gu Ran possessed a unique quality, somewhat similar to Chu Zihang, yet also different.
But in any case, both of them have a very attractive aura.
The students around them were all talking about Gu Ran and Lu Mingfei getting into Kassel College.
Seeing Gu Ran's detached demeanor, Su Xiaoqiang understood that he disliked being high-profile.
So he abandoned the idea of booking the entire hotel to celebrate for Gu Ran.
Everyone took their luggage, went to the front desk to get room keys, and prepared to put their luggage away first.
Zhao Menghua looked at his king-size bed and frowned.
He wanted to take this opportunity to live with Chen Wenwen. Of course, she would definitely not agree to sleep together, but living under the same roof should be possible...
So he said to the receptionist:
"Change me to a double room, I'll pay for it myself."
"Sorry, we're fully booked today," the waitress said softly.
"Do you have executive suites?"
"nor."
Zhao Menghua was somewhat frustrated; their plan to share a room was ruined.
Gu Ran, carrying a backpack, waited until most of the people in the lobby had left before going to the front desk to get her room key.
"Your room is on the nineteenth floor. Have a pleasant stay!" the receptionist said respectfully.
Gu Ran only realized after entering the elevator that the nineteenth floor was actually the top floor.
"Wait for me!"
Su Xiaoqiang followed in, dragging a small suitcase.
She had just finished arranging her next event and had a brief conversation with the hotel.
There were only two people in the elevator, and Su Xiaoqiang did not press any floor buttons.
We arrived at the nineteenth floor.
The two walked out of the elevator together.
Then, after Gu Ran opened the room door, she realized that it was actually a suite...
The windows are huge, with bright windowsills and a wide view, offering a panoramic view of the scenery outside Tianding Mountain.
Green mountains and clear waters are right in front of us.
The room's decor is also exquisite, with genuine leather sofas and a nanmu coffee table, exuding understated luxury.
The living room has a 70-inch Sony LCD TV and a sound system that looks very expensive.
Such a large LCD TV in 09 was still quite impressive.
Su Xiaoqiang followed him in with small, quick steps and closed the front door.
"The hotel didn't have enough standard rooms, so I booked a suite..." she said softly.
She felt shy, excited, and secretly delighted.
This was the first time in her life that she had shared a room with a man who was not related to her by blood.
She suddenly felt very grateful to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei was able to call a helicopter, which means he's become a nouveau riche and is already incredibly wealthy. Yet he was still willing to accept her laptop worth tens of thousands of yuan to help her arrange a meeting with Gu Ran.
Thinking about it that way, she didn't find Lu Mingfei so annoying anymore.
On the contrary, they were quite savvy.
From now on, out of respect for Gu Ran, I won't argue with him anymore.
Gu Ran looked around and saw that there were three bedrooms, one of which was a children's room, and each had its own bathroom.
"Then I won't be polite."
Gu Ran chose a smaller bedroom, leaving the master bedroom for Su Xiaoqiang.
Actually, it didn't matter where he lived, and he didn't plan on anything happening between him and Su Xiaoqiang.
After all, they are from two different worlds.
At that moment, Nokia's classic telephone ringtone sounded.
Gu Ran took out his N96, slid the cover to answer the call, and gently closed the bedroom door.
Chapter 26 Crisis comes again
"Commissioner Raymond, is there something you need?" Gu Ran asked softly into the phone from his bedroom.
Raymond called, and his tone was somewhat serious:
"I just received a notification from Norma that they've spotted someone whose build and gait closely resemble the assassin from before..."
Gu Ran frowned immediately.
Nono reported the assassination attempt on him to the Kassel College.
The college attaches great importance to this.
Therefore, whenever there was any intelligence, it would be immediately communicated to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran asked, "Where is he now?"
Raymond was the liaison for the district's executive department.
He would call every few days to ask Gu Ran if she had found any trace of the assassin.
The two have been in frequent contact by phone during this period.
Raymond replied, "About two hours ago, someone posted a photo on their QQ space, and you could see him in the background at a nearby highway service area."
He continued, "Because Norma has never had a photo of him, we don't know his true identity yet, but Norma speculates that he may have gone to the summit of Mount Tian Ding."
“Tian Ding Mountain…” Gu Ran understood, “It’s coming for me, and he still won’t let me go.”
"I think so, but I'm not sure if they want to continue kidnapping you or kill you. But don't worry, I'll bring a four-man tactical team to support you immediately."
Commissioner Raymond said, "We have the equipment ready, but... there are no firearms. You know it's very restricted here. I only have melee weapons."
When will you arrive?
"It will take at least an hour and twenty minutes. I have to follow the traffic rules. It's daytime now, so I don't think he'll act blatantly."
Raymond continued, "Alright, I already know which hotel you're staying at through Norma. Since Norma can't assess his combat capabilities, our primary task is to protect you."
"Okay, keep in touch." Gu Ran hung up the phone.
Nono had previously analyzed that the assassin had come to kidnap him.
Was this trip to Tianding Mountain also a kidnapping?
Or has his mission changed, and he's going to kill me directly?
Gu Ran's mind raced.
As he pondered a solution, he took out a scroll from his backpack.
He unrolled the scroll, laid it flat on the ground, and formed hand seals to use a spirit summoning technique.
After completing the hand seal, he placed his palm in the center of the scroll, and with a "pop," a black leather pouch appeared inside the scroll.
This fanny pack is unremarkable, but it contains some equipment.
Twelve shuriken and two kunai.
These things were all obtained by Gu Ran and Raymond some time ago.
Ninja cosplay sets are also sold in China, but the quality is questionable.
Raymond reportedly obtained these shuriken and kunai from the Japanese branch.
Unlike the pure black shuriken and kunai in the comics, the shuriken in Gu Ran's hand is silvery.
Because it is made of carbon steel using modern technology, it is exceptionally sharp and durable.
Gu Ran fastened the waist pouch to his back waist so that he could easily draw his weapon at any time.
"Gu Ran, let's have a barbecue by the stream at noon." Su Xiaoqiang knocked on the door.
When Gu Ran opened the door, he found that she had changed her clothes.
She wore a black halter-neck mini dress, showing off her long, fair legs, and had changed her shoes to flat sandals.
It seems they plan to go wading in the stream.
"Aren't you going to change your clothes?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, noticing that Gu Ran was still wearing sportswear and sneakers.
"I don't really want to play in the water."
Gu Ran made up a random excuse.
“Then… let’s go together,” Su Xiaoqiang said to him with a smile.
"Ah."
Stepping out of the suite, Gu Ran began to observe the surrounding terrain.
This floor is the top floor of the hotel. Apart from the two elevator entrances, the only other entrance is the stairwell.
Furthermore, he observed that there were no surveillance cameras in the corridors on this floor.
It seems that wealthy people value their privacy and don't want others to see who they're having sex with, so they deliberately didn't install surveillance cameras on this floor.
Hotel surveillance cameras are usually not connected to the internet; the videos are typically stored on hard drives.
In this way, Norma couldn't even help him keep watch.
