Chapter 196
This was the first time Lu Ran saw the security guards of the apartment. They were two young men with very kind faces.

Wearing light blue uniforms, the two walked in front of the reporter calmly, and said very politely: "We have received complaints that you are too noisy here and have seriously disturbed the people."

The apartment has two households on one floor. Since it is a nuisance to the residents, it must not be the residents on other floors.

The eyes of the reporters all looked towards the anti-theft door of Lu Ran's house. Lu Ran stood inside the door, looking at the reporters through the cat's eyes on the door. For a moment, she felt that the eyes of those reporters met her.

She panicked, and instinctively stepped back.

When she went to the cat's eye to look out again, the reporters had already been persuaded by the security guards to leave quite a few, and only a few cheeky ones were left. They assured the security guards that they would never do anything to disturb the people again.

However, the security guard said very responsibly, "This is a private residence. Although you are journalists, I'm sorry you can't stay here. The residents are just complaining. If you call the police, the matter will be serious."

The two security guards were of extremely high quality, and after trying to persuade them for a long time, the reporters finally left.

After the security left, Lu Ran went out and knocked on the door of Ji Zebei's house.

After a while, no one came to answer the door, she took out her mobile phone and sent Ji Zebei a message - all the reporters left, it was me.

The message was sent successfully, she waited outside the door for more than ten minutes, and finally Ji Zebei came to open the door.

Seeing her, a slight smile appeared on the serious face of the man.

Of course, Lu Ran could see how forced Ji Zebei's smile was.

"Are you ok?"

"I am fine."

Lu Ran wanted to comfort him a few words, but before he could speak, the man said apologetically, "Can you leave me alone."

"Oh, well, if you need my help..."

Before he finished speaking, the door was already closed by Ji Zebei.

Looking at the dark brown anti-theft door in front of her, she stood there for a long time before turning around and going home.

The phone suddenly rang loudly, and looked at the caller ID, it was Liang Man.

She probably guessed the intention of Liang Man's call, hesitated for a few seconds and finally answered.

"What's going on with Ji Zebei? Just settled yesterday's incident, he's on the trending list again today."

Lu Ran was silent, she didn't know what to say, her mind went blank.

"The high-level executives have already held a meeting to discuss the plan to terminate the contract with Ji Zebei. Since the problem lies with Ji Zebei himself, Ji Zebei is very responsible. However, considering that Ji Zebei has benefited Taste the World a lot, the high-level officials decided to make peace. To terminate the contract, Ji Zebei does not need to pay any liquidated damages, but he will not be paid for the latest episode of the program, and of course this episode will not be broadcast."

Lu Ran said 'hmm', "Is there anything else?"

"I can't get in touch with Ji Zebei, tell him about the termination of the contract."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran edited a message and sent it to Ji Zebei, which was about the termination of the contract that Liang Man had just mentioned.

The message was sent successfully, but Ji Zebei did not reply.

She put the phone on the coffee table and fell weakly to the sofa.

In the next few days, she couldn't get in touch with Ji Zebei, no one answered when she knocked on his door, she didn't answer her calls, and she didn't reply to her messages.

Ye Zhian told her that Ji Zebei started to disappear again, and his behavior was the same as a few years ago. When country M was bombarded by the media, Ji Zebei disappeared for three full months, and no one knew he was there. Nowhere, no one can contact him.

But this time the situation was different, they all knew that Ji Zebei had never left the house, he just didn't want to see anyone.

Lu Ran was naturally worried about Ji Zebei, but no matter how much she called Ji Zebei or rang his doorbell, he just couldn't see her.

A week passed in a flash, and Lu Ran's life and work returned to normal. Although he still sent Ji Zebei a few messages every day, Ji Zebei never replied.

On this day, she had just finished finishing the food manuscript and sent it to Su Ge's mailbox, when Ye Zhian's phone call came in suddenly.

Ye Zhian was very concerned about Ji Zebei's situation, and asked, "How is Lao Ji?"

"Still closing the door to thank you."

"Will he be overwhelmed..."

Lu Ran's heart sank heavily, and his temples throbbed, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Let's pick the lock on his door."

"This... I'm afraid it's not very good."

"Special treatment during special times. What if Lao Ji really can't think about it? In short, this matter is not a joke. He has not heard from him for several days. The more I think about it, the more worried I become."

Lu Ran murmured thoughtfully. In fact, a few days ago, she thought about picking the door lock of Ji Zebei's house to make sure that Ji Zebei was safe. She even prepared a hammer and stood there. In front of Zebei's house, but in the end they didn't do anything.

She worried that her reckless behavior would be hated by Ji Zebei.

"Are you at home?" Ye Zhian asked.

"No, I'm in the company and I'm going back, how about you?"

"I am on a day off today."

"Then see you at the apartment."

"it is good."

Lu Ran tidied up the things on the table, turned off the computer, picked up his bag and hurried to the elevator.

On the way back, she pulled out Ji Zebei's phone and was able to get through, but still no one answered.

While waiting for the red light, she edited a message - if you ignore me again, I will break the lock of your house.

When she drove the car to the parking lot of the apartment, Ji Zebei didn't reply.

When she took the elevator upstairs, the elevator stopped on the first floor, and she happened to meet Ye Zhian.

"I've got all the lockpickers ready." Ye Zhian said, picking up the small toolbox in his hand.

Lu Ran smiled wryly.

When they reached the eighteenth floor, Lu Ran did not go home, but followed Ye Zhian directly to the door of Ji Zebei's house.

Ye Zhi'an put the toolbox on the ground, picked out a few tools in his hand, and slammed the door lock of Ji Zebei's house.

Lu Ran waited patiently aside, half an hour passed, and Ye Zhian still didn't see Ye Zhian pick the door lock.

She helped her forehead helplessly, "Can you do it?"

Ye Zhian's forehead was covered with sweat, "Give me another half an hour."

Lu Ran sighed, rummaged through the toolbox and found a hammer.

She picked up the hammer and patted Ye Zhian's shoulder lightly, she said, "Get out of the way, I'll do it."

Ye Zhi'an looked back at her, then at the hammer in her hand, and laughed with a 'puchi', "That thing must break the door lock."

"Knock it out and replace it with a new one, you start driving."

The corner of Ye Zhian's mouth twitched, and he stepped aside obediently.

Lu Ran swung the hammer in his hand and slammed it on the door lock.

Ji Zebei was in a daze when he was awakened by a sound of 'kuangkuangkuang'. He rubbed his swollen forehead and got up slowly. He couldn't remember when he fell asleep.

The curtains that were tightly drawn last night were blown slowly by the wind, and a ray of sunlight came in, hurting the eyes.
