Qin Ran pushed the door open and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

One side was standing in the middle of the study, three men dressed in sloppy, had bad faces and fierce eyes.

The other side is an old man with gray hair.

The old man was wearing a linen top and a pair of glasses hanging on his chest, and was sitting behind the desk.

Seeing Qin Ran walking in, the old man subconsciously stood up and was about to say something.

However, some people are much faster than the old man.

"Who are you?"

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

The strongest of the three men turned around and looked at Qin Ran and spoke.

The tone was full of threat.

But in Qin Ran's eyes, the other party was fierce and weak on the inside.

The other party seemed to be strong, but there were no calluses on his palms. Whether it was the palm or fingertips, as he walked into this room, the position of the other party, including the other party's two subordinates, had never changed! Even now, he still looked at him sideways.

All of this shows that the other party’s three are just ‘outsiders’.

Perhaps, rely on your strong body to bully ordinary people.

Thinking about Herbert's "evaluation" of the three of them before, Qin Ran already knew it in his mind.

The pace did not stop.

Naturally, he ignored the other party's threat and Qin Ran walked towards Herbert.

"asshole!"

"I want you to know Boss Oli is so powerful!"

It was still the strongest one among the other three.

Then, the three of them rushed straight towards Qin Ran.

"careful!"

Herbert behind the desk reminded Qin Ran loudly, but before the scholar could finish his words, three figures rushed towards Qin Ran had already flew backwards at a faster speed and hit one side of the wall.

Bang!

Pa, pa, pa!

Amid the dull sound, due to the vibration caused by the impact, several books on the bookshelf on the side fell to the ground.

The three people who suffered the impact were completely in a coma.

The whole process was flashed.

Herbert had no idea what was going on.

Even though Herbert was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but look at Qin Ran in surprise at this time.

Under Herbert's gaze, Qin Ran walked over, picked up the books, and put them back one by one. Although he tried to control the angle and strength when he made his feet.

But I avoided the bookshelf, but I couldn't avoid the vibration of the wall.

After all this, Qin Ran turned around and looked at Herbert with a smile.

"Although the trip to Aesop's ancient city has not begun, I think Herbert, you must not mind that I will perform my guard's duties in advance."

According to the tone given by the system in simple memory, Qin Ran said slowly.

"certainly!"

"Pierre is not here, your appearance has really helped me!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really break two ribs!"

Herbert joked.

It is not as serious as the "scholar" in ordinary people's impression.

However, the thick notes on the other party’s table and the collection of books around him mean that the other party will not be ashamed of this title.

Of course, what Qin Ran cared more about was Pierre in Herbert's mouth.

According to his simple memory, Pierre is a very reliable person who is responsible for Herbert's butler, servant, bodyguard, chef and other roles.

Herbert's life was managed in an orderly manner by the other party.

Simply put, if something important hadn't happened, the other party would have been in a position to keep pace with Herbert.

"Can I ask where has Butler Pier gone?"

Qin Ran asked casually.

"For this trip to Aesop's ancient city, I have to raise more funds!"

"And Pierre will accept the money donated by the Burr Municipal Government. If I hadn't been able to withdraw, the money I would have gone in person would have been so important to me!"

"This amount is needed not only for the expenses of various tools, but also for the employment of guards!"

"In fact, I have sent invitations to many famous bounty hunters and mercenaries, but no one except you can accept the price I gave."

"That's why I'm publishing news in the newspaper!"

Qin Ran's previous behavior won Herbert's favor. The scholar did not hide it and explained the reason in detail to Qin Ran.

"I see!"

Qin Ran nodded.

But there was doubt in my heart.

"What a coincidence?"

"As soon as Peel left Herbert's side, these guys appeared?"

"And, the news published in the newspaper was only issued this morning. Even if the news spreads, it will take one or two days!"

"It shouldn't be so fast!"

Qin Ran's eyes subconsciously swept over the three unconscious people.

Especially the other person's clothes and dress.

There is no discrimination, but Qin Ran doubts whether the three of them are literate.

If you don't know the silly, let alone reading the newspaper.

That is to say, putting the real coincidence aside...

"The three guys in front of you have known Pier's itinerary for a long time!"

"And those who can determine Peel's itinerary..."

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.

There was some more speculation immediately.

However, he still needs to confirm it.

"Herbert, I want to interrogate the three of them before the police come!"

"By the way, can I come to your place to read books before departure?"

Qin Ran pointed to the three people on the ground, but at the same time, he did not forget his original intention.

"OK!"

"We need to report the case before the police will appear!"

"And my students will not come after dark at least to help us accomplish this!"

"So, 2567 you have enough time!"

Herbert did not object, and even reminded Qin Ran.

Obviously, no one who can become a scholar is a fool. Herbert is also confused about the coincidence of the three.

Qin Ran nodded and walked towards the three of them.

...

basement.

Originally a place where some vegetables and grains for winter were stored, Qin Ran simply transformed into an interrogation room: a hemp rope as thick as two fingers, bypassing the wrists and ankles of the three people in the way of tying animals, and finally bypassing the beams of the house and lifting the three people up.

A bucket of water poured on the heads of the three of them.

Wow!

"asshole!"

"Damn, who is it?"

"I'm going to break all your teeth!"
