Chapter 1523: Bait
Qin Ran clearly heard the busy signal from the communicator.
His entry-rank Perception had not only expanded to a range ordinary people could scarcely imagine, but had also become extraordinarily sensitive to sounds and smells.
At the very least, ordinary methods could not conceal anything from Qin Ran's senses.
That went doubly so in a completely open space without any cover.
Still, Qin Ran had no intention of stopping.
Of the three professors connected to Food Records-Delton, Tairs, and Edberg-Delton was dead. Without Qin Ran's intervention, Tairs would probably have met the same fate, and Edberg's disappearance had sounded an alarm for Qin Ran!
There was no doubt that some force was attacking people connected to Food Records.
And him?
Naturally, he was among them.
In fact, in a certain sense, he could be called the spark that had set everything off: he had brought Food Records out of the shadows and into the open.
If resentment was involved, he should have been the most hated target of all.
He had inadvertently ruined a plan they had spent a long time secretly preparing. They must have wanted nothing more than to kill him immediately!
Qin Ran had realized this.

The enemy should already have learned that Tairs was alive.
Under those circumstances, as long as Edberg had not been killed on the spot, he would not be in too much danger. After all, those people needed Edberg as bait to distract
