After the Young Master’s Death, He was Kissed by His Mortal Enemy! - Chapter 106

“Cheng Yi? Why are you the one answering? Ptooie, ptooie, ptooie! I’m not looking for you, I’m looking for Little Shen Ran! Give the phone to Shen Ran!”

Cheng Yi held the phone up to Shen Ran’s ear. “Here, it’s for you.”

Over the phone, Wei Hailan’s voice was as hearty as ever.

“Little Shen Ran! Your Brother Hailan is back after traveling around! I heard you opened a hyper-realistic horror escape room. I want to check it out today. I wonder if you’re willing to give your dear Brother Hailan two tickets?”

Shen Ran was naturally more than willing. After all, this was Wei Hailan, the man who had helped him out decisively many times before.

So, Shen Ran nodded happily. “Of course! Brother Hailan, feel free to come. You can play as many times as you like, I definitely won’t charge you! I’ll even host you personally!”

“Ah, hahahahaha! Good! Shen Ran, I knew I didn’t misjudge you. You’re much more generous than that brat Cheng Yi! You have no idea, Cheng Yi is so rich, but last time we ate, he actually wanted to go Dutch with me. That’s truly ‘the father of stingy opening the door for stingy’—stingy to the extreme!”

Once he started talking about how miserly Cheng Yi had been, Wei Hailan got more and more worked up, talking non-stop.

Shen Ran let out a few dry laughs, wanting to remind Wei Hailan that this was Cheng Yi’s phone, but he never found a chance to interrupt.

Wei Hailan was simply too talkative.

In the end, it was Cheng Yi who spoke up with a hint of “kindness.” “Hailan. Do you think there’s a possibility that this phone is on speaker, and I can hear every bad thing you’re saying about me?”

Startled by Cheng Yi’s sudden voice, Wei Hailan went silent on the other end.

Then, a series of thumping sounds followed, as if someone were beating their chest. It was impossible to tell what kind of theatrics Wei Hailan was performing.

Hearing the chaotic silence from the phone, Shen Ran felt he shouldn’t laugh, but he really couldn’t hold it back. The corners of his mouth began to twitch uncontrollably.

Finally, Wei Hailan continued as if nothing had happened. “Ah, hahahaha! I think I just had an auditory hallucination. Why did I hear a mysterious person speaking?”

He really knew how to give himself a way out.

“By the way, Shen Ran, why don’t you ask your dear Brother Hailan why he didn’t ask for one ticket, or three tickets, but specifically asked you for two tickets?”

By now, Shen Ran had long since heard about the situation between Wei Hailan and Fu Yun from Cheng Yi.

Moreover, while Wei Hailan and Fu Yun were on their road trip to F City and C City, they had practically posted twenty status updates a day. Cheng Yi grumbled to him every time he scrolled past them.

They had posted at least eighty to a hundred photos together, so as soon as Wei Hailan spoke, Shen Ran knew exactly what he was planning.

But seeing how excited Wei Hailan was, Shen Ran didn’t want to spoil the fun. He suppressed his laughter and feigned ignorance.

“Ah? I don’t know. Why does Brother Hailan want two tickets? Could it be you invited a friend?”

“Ah, hahahahaha! Wrong, wrong! If I were bringing friends to support your business, I’d bring a whole crowd. How could it be just two people?”

“Oh?” Shen Ran continued to act. “Two people… could it be that Brother Hailan, you…?”

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking, Shen Ran! Your Brother Hailan has a ‘wife’ now!”

Wei Hailan laughed more and more happily, his tone becoming a bit shy and sounding incredibly sweet.

“I’m bringing Fu Yun to your place to play in a bit. I’m calling you behind his back right now, planning to give him a surprise! It has to be scary and terrifying enough so that I can show off my ‘boyfriend power’ when the time comes!”

Pink bubbles were practically floating out of the receiver.

It was clear that Wei Hailan really liked Fu Yun.

Since Wei Hailan had put it that way, Shen Ran had no reason to refuse.

Coincidentally, Shen Ran also wanted to see what this Fu Yun, who occupied so much of his Brother Hailan’s thoughts, actually looked like in person.

After all, Wei Hailan’s photography skills were truly lackluster. The photos he posted on social media were about on par with that annoying Chen Xu.

No matter how handsome a guy was, under Wei Hailan’s distorted lens, they ended up looking messy and indescribable.

“I’m actually quite interested too.”

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi spoke up slowly.

“Interested in what? Interested in what kind of person Fu Yun is?”

“That’s secondary.”

Before heading out, Cheng Yi grabbed the car keys, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

“I mainly want to see how that ‘shrewd’ Wei Hailan, who claimed he’d never fall in love, looks now that he’s completely head over heels.”

“Brother Hailan… claims to be shrewd?”

Shen Ran was somewhat surprised. In his heart, Wei Hailan was very warm-hearted, but he didn’t quite seem to fit the word “shrewd.”

“Don’t look at Wei Hailan acting a bit silly in front of us; he’s usually very reliable. After all, he is a lead researcher at the institute, and many people highly value his hypnosis abilities.”

On the way to the escape room, Cheng Yi drove while telling him about the side of Wei Hailan he didn’t know.

“Do you know the amount of the largest contract Wei Hailan ever took?”

“How much?”

Cheng Yi didn’t answer immediately but asked him first, “Tell me, how much would you say your gallery is worth? Calculate high, including everything.”

Shen Ran counted on his fingers and gave an uncertain figure. “Maybe… if I sold the whole thing, about several tens of millions?”

Could the price of one hypnosis session from Wei Hailan be worth as much as his gallery?

Well, that wasn’t too shocking; tens of millions were still within an acceptable range.

Cheng Yi, however, seemed to read his thoughts, and his smile grew even more mischievous.

“The price of that hypnosis was, of course, far more than that. Let’s say your gallery is worth fifty million. The price of Wei Hailan’s hypnosis that time could probably buy one or two hundred of your galleries.”

One or two hundred… galleries?

“Huh?” Shen Ran was shocked. “What did he do? Is it that profitable?”

“Of course. Do you remember the coup that happened in Country S three years ago? It was actually orchestrated by Country M from behind the scenes, and Wei Hailan was the person invited to assist Country M.”

Cheng Yi’s tone was casual, but it was enough to send Shen Ran into a state of shock.

The man behind high-level royalty, an extremely capable, cold, and shrewd person, was actually the “Brother Hailan” by his side?

The whole way there, Shen Ran still felt it was incredible, like a dream.

As a result, when he saw Wei Hailan at the entrance of the escape room, Shen Ran still hadn’t snapped out of it.

Wei Hailan was standing at the crowded entrance, holding the hand of a cold-looking man who was exceptionally handsome at first glance.

“Brother Hailan,” Shen Ran called out, his voice sounding a bit dazed.
