Chapter 104: 103. Volunteering to Help (Please add to your library, please vote!)

He Yong had always been one not to trouble Zhang Ran with his own affairs; even regarding the people behind his imprisonment, he had never once spoken up.

He Yong knew that as long as he spoke up, Zhang Ran would certainly help him, and he also believed that Zhang Ran had the ability to do so.

But He Yong did not tell Zhang Ran, as he did not want to trouble Zhang Ran with his own matters, and furthermore, it might disrupt Zhang Ran's plans.

Yet, when faced with He Qing's situation, He Yong lost his previous persistence; he did not want his daughter to suffer grievances, especially when they were caused by him.

He Yong knew he had no other strengths besides being able to fight, and this matter could not be solved by violence at all, so he could only look for Zhang Ran for help now.

And in He Yong's heart, Zhang Ran would definitely be able to resolve this matter; he had a blind confidence in Zhang Ran.

At this moment, Zhang Ran was also having a headache; looking at the two pairs of expectant eyes, he suddenly felt troubled in his heart.

It wasn't that anything major had happened, it was just that New Year's Day was approaching, and both Taotao's elementary school and Susu's kindergarten were holding New Year's galas, and both had invited parents.

The two little ones, Taotao and Susu, both wanted Zhang Ran to come and attend their New Year's galas.

Zhang Ran did not know the specific times for both sides, and if the times happened to overlap, he didn't have the ability to be in two places at once.

So it was hard to promise either one, but it was even worse not to promise.

Just as Zhang Ran was feeling troubled, He Yong's call came in; Zhang Ran answered the phone as if granted a reprieve, thinking it better to escape for a while.

Very quickly, Zhang Ran's expression turned somewhat serious; after listening to He Yong's account, he felt both angry and annoyed in his heart.

If one were to really talk about it, this matter had a little connection to him; at the time, he had let He Yong do that entirely from the perspective of a father, never considering that such a thing would happen.

"I understand. You wait there, I'll be over immediately," Zhang Ran said in a deep voice.

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, He Yong's originally flustered heart immediately settled down.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran began to ponder, thinking about how to resolve this matter.

Zhang Ran knew that rumors were actually very terrifying, especially this kind of rumor; it was no exaggeration to say they could force someone to their death.

Seeing their grandfather thinking about things, the two little ones, Taotao and Susu, were very sensible and did not disturb him again, starting to play by themselves.

Very quickly, Zhang Ran thought of a way that wasn't really a way.

Immediately, he called Meng Mingxuan.

"Do you have any good solutions for this matter?" Zhang Ran asked after recounting the situation.

Regarding such matters, Zhang Ran himself had no good ideas, but people like Meng Mingxuan should have methods that belonged entirely to them.

Moreover, this matter could not be solved crudely now; it had to stop the wagging tongues and let the matter subside completely, otherwise the result would be the same.

However, to Zhang Ran's disappointment, Meng Mingxuan said, "I've never done such a thing either, Zhang Shu. You wouldn't suspect I've done something like this, would you? I'm wronged, Zhang Shu."

Zhang Ran said irritably, "Get lost. There's no time to play word games with you now. If you dared to do this, see if your dad wouldn't break your legs?"

"Uh..." Meng Mingxuan was retorted by Zhang Ran and didn't know what to say.

Just as Zhang Ran was about to hang up, some noise came from the other side, and then Ning Qing's voice was heard coming through the phone.

"Zhang Shu, I have a way to handle this. Leave it to me," Ning Qing said.

"Alright, thanks." Zhang Ran did not ask for the specific method.

Having been in contact with Ning Qing for a period of time, he knew that she was well-versed in worldly wisdom; although she was sometimes a bit of a snob, Zhang Ran had to admit that she indeed had some ability.

"This is their current address." Zhang Ran told Ning Qing the place where He Yong and the others were staying, as well as He Yong's phone number.

Afterwards, Zhang Ran hung up the phone; he looked at the two little ones and, after thinking for a moment, decided to take them along.

Now Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu were both at work, and Zhang Ran didn't feel at ease with others, so he could only keep the two little ones with him at all times.

Susu and Taotao had no objections at all; as long as they could be with their grandfather, they felt very happy.

He Yong and He Qing were standing in a secluded spot waiting anxiously; by comparison, He Qing appeared much calmer.

"Dad, is it okay to trouble Zhang Shu with this?" He Qing asked.

Actually, what she meant was that things had already reached this point, so how could Zhang Ran resolve it?

"Rest assured, as long as Brother Zhang agrees, there will absolutely be no problem," He Yong said very confidently.

Seeing her own father's confident appearance, He Qing didn't know what to say.

She knew Zhang Ran's situation—he had been detached from society for twenty-eight years, and had only just returned not long ago. What exactly made He Yong trust Zhang Ran so much?

Half an hour later, He Yong's phone rang, and not long after, five or six luxury cars were seen driving over.

"He Shu, is this Xiao Qing? Hello, my name is Meng Mingxuan, you can just call me Ming Xuan ge," Meng Mingxuan said with a smile as he stepped forward.

He Qing, however, stared blankly at Meng Mingxuan, Ning Qing, and the others; she was not blind, and naturally could see that these people were wealthy.

As for Min Wenwen on the side, her eyes were shining; she held He Qing's hand tightly, never expecting that He Qing's father actually knew so many rich second-generation kids. Did that mean He Qing was also a rich second-generation kid?

But what about He Qing before? Why had life been so bitter?

He Qing was also stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses. After the two sides were introduced, Ning Qing said, "Xiao Qing, don't worry, I'll vent your anger for you in a moment. Anyone who dares to bully my, Ning Qing's, little sister really has lived long enough."

Ning Qing was very good with words; with just one sentence, she made both He Qing and He Yong feel very favorably toward her.

"You, are you Senior Ning Qing?" Min Wenwen on the side suddenly said loudly.

Ning Qing was taken aback, then said, "You know me?"

"Yes, yes, Senior. You were a legendary figure at our school. Back then, you led our school's student union and achieved a great reputation. Even now, your legends are still circulating in our student union," Min Wenwen said excitedly, looking just like someone who had met an idol.

Ning Qing was a graduate of Jiaoda and had been the student union president at the time. During her tenure managing the student union, she had used her own connections and relationships to keep the Jiaoda student union running in perfect order.

The students of those few years had all benefited from this, and many had found very good jobs before graduation because of Ning Qing's connections.

Not only that, their Jiaoda student union had also participated in many government-organized activities at the time, really making a name for themselves.

Min Wenwen had already joined the student union, so she naturally knew this, but He Qing did not; she had not joined any clubs, and in the past, her spare time was spent working.
