In the morning, after everyone learned that I had woken up, they all came to see me.

I'm very happy about this.

The little girl, Zhong Linyun, said, "Brother Xiaonan, you worried me to death! I thought you were dead."

I didn't have much to say when I heard that, I could only pat her head and smile.

However, looking at this girl, I couldn't help but think of the girl who was captured by Lu Ding and his gang before. That girl looked about the same age as Zhong Linyun. I don't know why they wanted to capture such a girl.

Ludin told me that the girls they captured could do things that others couldn't, but he didn't specify what those things were, so I had no way of guessing.

However, judging from how much Ludin valued her, that girl might actually have some special talent.

However, I don't even know the girl's name, and I might never see her again.

Therefore, there's no need to think about such useless things.

The little girl stayed in my dorm room for a long time and told me a lot about what had happened in the past few days.

During the three days I was in a coma, everyone's mood was actually quite bad, but life had to go on, so a lot of interesting things happened at school.

For example, Pu Weichao and Ke Jiamin's relationship is getting better and better. The little girl even said that she saw them kissing one morning.

This surprised me; I didn't expect their relationship to progress so quickly.

"Hey, Xiaonan-gege, have you ever kissed Wu Shuang-jie before?"

The little girl suddenly asked a question, which caught me a little off guard.

I gave a wry smile, not minding at all, and nodded, saying, "We've kissed, but not many times."

The little girl nodded blankly, then stretched her head over, pouted, and wanted to kiss me.

This startled me, and I quickly backed away.

Click.

At that moment, the dormitory door opened from the outside, and Pu Weichao walked in. He was stunned by what he saw.

Hearing the noise, the little girl turned around and saw a stranger coming in. She was immediately terrified, blushed, and ran away decisively.

Pu Weichao watched the little girl's retreating figure, then turned back to me and raised an eyebrow: "You're quite charming; you don't even spare minors."

"Get out of here," I snapped.

Zhong Linyun is indeed a minor, only fifteen years old now, just a little girl to me.

Pu Weichao smiled, walked in, closed the door, and pulled up a stool to sit down next to my bed.

I asked, "Didn't you just come here? Why are you here again? Aren't you going to find your Ke Jiamin?"

Pu Weichao waved his hand, "Be serious. We didn't get a chance to speak earlier, so we've come to talk about something important."

I frowned, thinking about the important matter he wanted to discuss with me, and then asked, "You want to discuss things with me about Luding?"

Pu Weichao was surprised and laughed, "Not bad, you've become smarter after being shot."

I rolled my eyes and snapped, "Get the hell out of here!"

Pu Weichao picked up a bag of potato chips, opened it, and happily took a couple of bites before saying, "I'm not kidding anymore. Let's get down to business. Can you tell me about Lu Ding's situation?"

I shook my head and said, "After I was kidnapped by Lu Ding, I was kept in the garage. I only saw two strangers and Sun Shichao. As for the others, I didn't see any of them. However, when Lu Ding took me out of the garage during the transaction, I heard a lot of voices. Apart from that, I felt like they lived in a villa community."

Pu Weichao nodded, thought for a long time, and then asked, "Well, besides these things, did anything else happen in between?"

After thinking about it, I told him about Ludin's capture of the girl.

Pu Weichao was also puzzled after hearing this, not understanding why Lu Ding wanted to arrest the girl.

"Let's put that aside for now. Whatever abilities this girl has, it's none of our business," Pu Weichao said. "I came here mainly because I have some questions and speculations that I'd like to discuss with you."

I asked, "Why didn't you call Fei Lichao and the others over?"

Pu Weichao waved his hand: "There's no need. It's only been a few days since what happened before. If I tell them about Lu Ding now, they'll probably be very confused. So I can only discuss this with you."

I thought of Zhou Liang. If I called Zhou Liang over, perhaps he could discuss many things with Pu Weichao.

However, Zhou Liang's situation is special, so it's better for him not to know about this.

I asked, "Then tell me, I'm listening."

Pu Weichao nodded. "Then let me address my first question: why didn't Lu Ding kill you?"

I paused for a moment, realizing I hadn't considered this question, and then shook my head.

Pu Weichao said, "I've thought about this for a long time. Because Lu Ding proposed the deal, he had absolute control. After the deal was completed, he could have easily killed you in the car and then dumped you on the other side of Honghu Lake. But he didn't do that. Why?"

“You know, he could have easily killed you back then, and even if he had, we wouldn’t have been able to take any action to avenge you. We could only watch him leave, since we didn’t know where he lived.”

I don't understand this question either, but I remembered some things Zhou Liang had said, so I said, "Do you think he might be wary of something?"

Pu Weichao smiled: "What is he afraid of? Does he think he's afraid of me? That's impossible. I've thought about it, and I think there are two reasons why he let you go. The first is just like he said himself: in his eyes you're a good-for-nothing, dispensable, so he simply let you go."
