To be more precise, the restaurant that the principal decided to hold to celebrate with everyone should be a hotel.

The owner of this hotel was also a former student of Tsinghua University and had a very good relationship with the president. For this reason, he is very willing to give back to his alma mater.

Knowing that the principal would celebrate with everyone after the party, the hotel staff was specially organized to work overtime today. A banquet hall with a nice environment but not too luxurious was set up in the auditorium, which was very suitable for the celebration atmosphere of today's teachers and students.

In order to enjoy the celebration more fully, everyone changed into the clothes they had prepared in advance before leaving school.

In the nearly 300-square-meter auditorium, boys in small suits and girls in small skirts were holding low-alcohol drinks, eating small cakes and chatting over the buffet. Ignoring the immature topics, the scene really gave the illusion of a celebrity gathering.

The principal is a very open-minded person. He doesn't mind creating this kind of experience for students to experience the feeling of entering society in advance.

After all, vision and knowledge are important, and the principal does not want students from his school to go out and become socially useless except for having good grades.

Although I haven't attended a banquet for nearly ten years in my previous life, many things have been engraved in my bones from the life I had since childhood.

As long as Fang Ziyang is not targeting anyone in particular, his temper and attitude are still very good. In addition, he has good grades. Most of the credit for the victory in the knowledge contest at the freshman party today goes to him. Humans are born with a desire to admire the strong. So he was very comfortable standing in the crowd.

While he was dealing with the conversations from his classmates, he was waiting for someone to take action.

Since Shi Meijing was not a member of the student union nor a performing student at the party, she was not qualified to attend the celebration.

Besides, the other party wouldn't be stupid enough to take action with so many people and surveillance cameras in the hotel.

So not long after, Fang Ziyang's phone rang.

Fang Ziyang guessed who was calling almost immediately.

But he didn't take it immediately. Instead, he accidentally spilled the drink in his hand, spilling it all over his hands. Then he said to the people around him embarrassedly,

"Student Guo Ran, my hands are dirty, can you help me answer the phone?"

Guo Ran, who was called, was a very sunny boy. Hearing this, he was very positive and said, "Okay, no problem."

As he said that, he put down the drink in his hand, helped Fang Ziyang take the phone out of his trouser pocket, pressed the answer button and put it to Fang Ziyang's ear.

Because the two of them were relatively close to each other, Fang Ziyang set the call volume relatively high.

So even though it wasn't on, Guo Ran could still hear some voices coming from the phone. It was a girl with a soft voice, "Hello, is this Brother Zi Yang?"

The owner of the voice was Shi Meijing. Because their relationship had eased recently, Shi Meijing shamelessly changed the way she addressed him to this more intimate form.

Guo Ran didn't know the inside story. When he heard such an intimate name, especially that the other party was a girl, he immediately looked at Fang Ziyang with a joking and gossipy look.

Adolescents are curious and yearning about love issues, so they can't help but gossip about it. Even though they know Fang Ziyang likes men, the magic of gossip is so strong.

The classmates who were chatting with them in front of them also quieted down and watched Fang Ziyang answer the phone with sparkling eyes. They could also vaguely hear some sounds from the phone.

Seeing this, Fang Ziyang showed a helpless smile to the gossiping crowd, and then said to the phone, "Yes, it's me, Sister Shi, is there anything going on so late?"

Shi Meijing didn't know that there was someone next to him who could hear the phone conversation.

After getting the reply, she immediately put on a joyful yet nervous tone, "Brother Ziyang, how is the celebration going over there? It's like this, that is...my brother said he has something to say to you tonight, and asked me to pick you up. Can you go?"

Fang Ziyang looked puzzled when he heard this. "You have something to tell me? Does it have to be tonight? Can't you just call me if you have something to say?"

It seemed as if he didn't hear the hidden meaning.

Guo Ran, who was standing closest to him, immediately had his eyes sparkling. It was obvious that he was a man with high emotional intelligence. He couldn't help but make faces at the students around him and mouthed the word "confession".

Suddenly, the people around were silently excited. The enthusiasm for watching others confess their love was an interest that all students never tired of.

Fang Ziyang didn't notice that everyone was excited about gossiping, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

"It's not safe to go out so late. If you must talk to me in person, I will be back to school soon. If I go out, I'm worried that if something happens, the principal will have trouble explaining to my family. My family is very strict with me now."

He is telling the truth.

Shi Meijing didn't expect that he didn't take the bait right away. She was secretly anxious for a moment and could only continue, "It won't be dangerous. The place is not far from the hotel and it's quick to go back and forth. Brother Ziyang, you must go. My brother... my brother has a surprise for you, a very important surprise, and he must give it to you in person. Tonight is not a day he would pick. I'll wait for you at the hotel entrance."

The words were full of hints.

Guo Ran, who was accidentally hearing what was said in the corner, was so excited that he kept blinking at Fang Ziyang, indicating that he could accompany him.

The classmates around him also nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of gossip.

Everyone had such an attitude, and Shi Meijing's words were so obvious.

It would be fake if Fang Ziyang didn't react in time. He suddenly blushed as if he realized something, and then nodded in a rush, "Oh, okay, I'll be right down."

After hanging up the phone, the students around him couldn't hold back their gossiping hearts and started to make a noise.

"Hey, Fang Ziyang, isn't Shi Meijing's brother Shi Liangchen? Is Shi Liangchen going to confess his love to you tonight?"

"Wow, I've seen that you two are up to something. Even though you're roommates, you don't have to go to class, eat, or go to the library together!"

"Although Shi Liangchen seems to be an orphan, he is really amazing and handsome. A few days ago, I heard my instructor say that Shi Liangchen will definitely be a great figure in our computer industry in the future... Fang Ziyang, you are really disloyal. It's only been a short time since the start of the school, and you've already taken him down!"

"Go away, what do you mean by take down? Zi Yang is also very capable, right?"

"Fang Ziyang, can we go watch it together? I really can't imagine what Shi Liangchen's confession of love would look like when he is so detached from everyone. It must be very exciting!"

Although Shi Liangchen comes from an ordinary family, he is very popular among the freshmen at Tsinghua University because his professional ability is indeed very strong.

Coupled with his cold and aloof personality and handsome looks, Shi Liangchen has quickly been regarded as one of the most handsome boys in the freshman computer science department. Therefore, when everyone heard that Shi Liangchen might confess his love to Fang Ziyang, how could they not be excited.

Of course, there were also those who were jealous, but they were a minority. Fang Ziyang's excellence and family background were enough to make it no surprise that any boy in the school would pursue him.

Besides, if Fang Ziyang and Shi Liangchen were dating, wouldn’t they have one less strong competitor when they pursue other outstanding male gods in the future? Don’t forget that in addition to good grades and a good family background, Fang Ziyang is also very handsome!

Faced with the crowd's booing, Fang Ziyang's face of course turned even redder, and he looked like he didn't know how to respond.

How could he, as the person involved in such a thing, have the nerve to bring people to watch? It's going to be very embarrassing, okay?

Soon everyone realized what was happening and felt embarrassed and disappointed. We were really curious!

Guo Ran thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Don't make a fuss. This is a private matter. How about this? It's a bit late now. It's not safe for Fang Ziyang to go out alone. I'll go with him and report back to you guys about what happened at the scene. How about that?"

Although it may seem like he was just joining in the fun, the reason he gave made sense.

However, other gossiping classmates were not convinced, "Why should you accompany me? I can accompany you too. Fang Ziyang, let me accompany you. I am stronger. If you encounter criminals on the way, I can protect you!"

"Choose me, choose me. I have learned Taekwondo."

"Go away, go away. Taekwondo is nothing. I've even learned martial arts..."

The curious crowd began to laugh and argue again.

Fang Ziyang blushed for a long time before he stopped everyone from making noise, and finally asked Guo Ran to accompany everyone as their representative.

Guo Ran was very happy and proud, and he raised his chin towards the other students. Then, under everyone's envious gazes, he spoke to the principal before leaving the auditorium.

At the hotel entrance, Shi Meijing waited for a long time and was almost getting impatient when she saw Fang Ziyang coming down.

Then when he saw that there were other people around Fang Ziyang, his face suddenly froze. Obviously, he didn't expect Fang Ziyang to bring someone with him!

Fang Ziyang pretended not to see her expression and introduced, "This is Guo Ran, a student from the Student Union. The principal was worried that the two of us would be unsafe at night, so he asked Guo Ran to accompany us."

Guo Ran nodded and patted his chest, as if he was just a little bodyguard who knew nothing. "Xuemei Shi, don't look at me because I don't have much muscle, but I have learned judo, so protecting you is a piece of cake..."

It has come to this, and the reasons are very sufficient.

Shi Meijing couldn't refuse, so she could only smile stiffly, "The principal is really thoughtful. It's really late now, so let's hurry up and leave."

Although the addition of one more person was unexpected, it did not have much impact on the plan. Witnesses were needed after the whole thing was over, and now with the addition of Guo Ran, it seemed more real.

Thinking of this, Shi Meijing's stiff smile became much more natural. She hailed a taxi and headed to her destination immediately.

The place Shi Meijing mentioned is indeed very close to the hotel.

The taxi drove for more than ten minutes and arrived at a small park.

Because it was almost 12 o'clock in the evening, there was naturally no one in the park. Except for the dim street lights, it was pitch black everywhere.

However, the atmosphere in the park was not scary at the moment, because as soon as they got off the taxi, they saw many small colored lights hung on a small path in the park, which looked very romantic and warm. At the end of the small colored lights, they could see faint patterns made by many candles.

Apart from anything else, the details of this scene are well arranged and very realistic.

"This is……"

Fang Ziyang remained calm, his face immediately showing surprise and a bit of shyness, as if he had guessed something but was not sure and looked nervous.

Guo Ran's eyes also sparkled.

Shi Meijing was very proud when she saw Fang Ziyang taking the bait, and she couldn't help showing a bit of contempt in her eyes.

After trying to calm down the joy in her heart about to achieve her goal, she turned to look at Guo Ran, "Classmate Guo Ran, you wait here for a while, I will go in with Brother Ziyang, is that okay with you?"

"Okay, I'll wait here."

Although Guo Ran really wanted to go and watch the live confession, Shi Meijing had already told him so, so he was too embarrassed to follow.

Then Fang Ziyang and the other person walked onto the specially arranged path with colorful lights, and their figures disappeared in the dim lights.

Guo Ran felt a little regretful. He stretched his neck and looked around curiously, trying to see with his 50-degree eyesight. At the same time, he was using his mobile phone to record the exciting live confession that was about to happen, preparing to share it with everyone when he got back.

But before he could figure out anything, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, snatched his phone away, and ran away.

"Fuck! Robber! Stop!"

Guo Ran realized that he had been robbed, and he cursed reflexively and chased after him.

But he had just run two steps when he heard a sudden cry from behind.

Fang Ziyang and Shi Meijing's voices rang out at the same time, "Who are you? Ah, robbery, help—"

Guo Ran stopped and immediately gave up chasing the person who was trying to steal the phone. He turned around in panic to check on Fang Ziyang and the other person.

Then he saw Fang Ziyang and Shi Meijing being dragged into a van...

Guo Ran's face turned pale, and there were only two words left in his mind: It's over!

…

Faced with the sudden robber, Fang Ziyang just struggled a little and pretended to grab him and drag him into the van.

Shi Meijing still wanted to exonerate herself afterwards, so of course she had to play along now. As soon as she got in the car, she quickly protected him behind her, looking strong and selfless.

"You, who are you? What do you want to do? Come to me if you have anything to say. Don't hurt Brother Ziyang. Do you know who Brother Ziyang is? If you dare to do anything excessive, you will not be able to escape."

"Our companion saw it just now, he will call the police immediately..."

The robber in the van had his face covered, so his expression and appearance could not be seen. He didn't say anything after hearing what was said. He just hit Shi Meijing hard with the stick in his hand, and then warned, "Shut up, or I'll chop you up immediately if you keep talking nonsense!"

The vicious tone sounded extremely cruel.

Shi Meijing's face seemed to have turned even paler out of fear. She trembled and dared not speak anymore. She just kept blocking Fang Ziyang, afraid but trying to comfort him, "Brother Ziyang, don't worry, I, I will protect you..."

It’s a pity that he didn’t get to apply to film school since he acted so well.

"Um."

Fang Ziyang responded with his head down, his voice trembling a little, and he seemed to be terribly frightened.

But from beginning to end, there was no emotion on his face and in his eyes, and they were as cold as the biting wind in winter.

These people are also afraid of the long night and many dreams.

So the van drove for a while before arriving at a remote scrap factory. The two were pushed out of the car, but were taken to two rooms separately.

Soon Fang Ziyang heard Shi Meijing's crying voice from next door, "No, don't come over here, you can't do this, ah, help..."

Then, there was the sound of clothes being torn.

Hearing the noise from next door, the several strong men surrounding Fang Ziyang immediately stood up and stared at him with blatant eyes.

"Kid, blame it on your good looks and your rich family. It would be unjust for us not to tie you up. It's just unlucky for the girl next door to be implicated by you... But don't worry, the girl can't be fucked, and our brothers will definitely show mercy and won't kill her."

"As for you... that depends on whether you cooperate or not. You can't escape today anyway, so if you don't want to suffer, just be obedient, or we won't accidentally see blood later."

As they spoke, several people were about to walk over.

The tape binding Fang Ziyang's hands was also removed at this time.

He raised his head, his face without any panic or fear, his eyes were cold, "How much money did the person behind the scenes give you?"

Several people were stunned.

Fang Ziyang spoke again, "I'll give you five times as much."

Several people reacted immediately, the confusion on their faces disappeared, and they looked at each other in panic. Obviously, he did not expect Fang Ziyang's reaction to be so calm, and he even seemed to know something.

Someone's expression changed immediately, and he stammered, "You, what nonsense are you talking about? You want to bribe us with money? No way. Don't think we are worldly-wise and shallow-skinned. We can't get any money if we kidnap you, so why do we need you to spend money?"

Fang Ziyang turned a deaf ear and continued, "Ten times."

Several people's heartbeats violently and their pupils shrank slightly.

ten times! It’s ten times! The boss who hired them this time said that he would give them 50 million if the deal was successful. Ten times that would be 500 million! This is enough for them to eat and drink well for most of their lives!

But soon, they calmed down again.

Although the amount of money is very tempting, you have to risk your life to get it. Can this young master really give it to me when the time comes? What if they were deceived in order to delay the rescue? There is no credibility between kidnappers and hostages.

They are all ready to run away after finishing the job, and the escape procedures are all handled by the people who contacted them. If they change their mind at the last minute, they will be caught in a dilemma and will not be able to run away with the money. Don't forget that they are not professional kidnappers, and their identities are very easy to check.

Thinking of this, the few people calmed down and laughed, "The young master of a wealthy family is indeed a young master of a wealthy family. He is so brave that he dares to negotiate with the kidnappers. He is really..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

There is no other reason.

Fang Ziyang suddenly had a slap-sized wooden can in his hand. He said expressionlessly, "Do you want to try whether this is a toy or a real thing?"

China has strict controls. On ordinary days, anyone who carries a fruit knife on the road will be asked to have tea, let alone a wooden warehouse.

The kidnappers were not professionals, so they had no idea whether the wooden warehouse was real or fake.

But even if he didn't recognize it, he could still analyze a thing or two: Although the wooden warehouse in Fang Ziyang's hand was small in size, its smooth and precise appearance, as well as its very textured material, meant that even if it was not the real thing, there was a 90% chance that it was a simulation, and it also had powerful lethality!

Several kidnappers broke out in cold sweats on their backs. They dared not move forward, and could not make a sound.

Fang Ziyang's eyes were cold.

"Since you don't want money, then you can just take your life. Listen, if you don't want to die, hand over the pregnancy capsules in your hand, and then go next door... and kill Shi Meijing for me. Since you like being a patient so much, then lie in bed for the rest of your life."

There was no emotion in the voice, but it seemed to carry some terrifying pressure, and the calm tone made it almost hard to breathe.

The kidnappers were ordinary people on weekdays. They had never seen anyone who would threaten to kill someone over a disagreement. Even if it was a powerful boss they had met in the club before who wanted to kill someone, he would use euphemistic means with many twists and turns.

Although it sounded a bit exaggerated at the moment, several people inexplicably felt the urge that the other party could really do it.

But wouldn't it seem very cowardly to be forced to rebel just by being threatened?

A kidnapper with a tougher temper couldn't help but speak, "You, you want my life, so be it. Even if you have a wooden silo, can you beat all of us by yourself? Don't think you can just say a few harsh words..."

The sound suddenly stopped again. Was interrupted by a scream of "Ah——".

Before he could finish his words, the wooden basket in Fang Ziyang's hand suddenly emitted a light like infrared rays, and the next moment, the arm of one of them was cut off.

Along with the kidnapper's scream, a severed arm fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the others turned pale and took a step back.

Damn, this is for real! It's still high-tech!

Fang Ziyang raised his eyes and spoke again, "Do you want to waste my time again?"

Watching the wooden warehouse move.

The kidnappers dared not argue and immediately nodded in panic, "Let's do it! We'll do it right away! Don't open the wooden warehouse, don't open it!"

After saying that, one of them took out a small box of capsules from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

Then several people picked up the broken arms on the ground, stumbled towards the door, and rushed into the next room, not even daring to think of escaping directly.

soon.

Shi Meijing's terrified scream was heard again from the next room.

Unlike the pretense just now, this time it was a genuine fear.

“No, what are you doing? Didn’t we agree on this? Why are you going back on your word? Go find Fang Ziyang quickly. He is the target. You will be in trouble if you go back on your word! Aren’t you afraid that the people on my side will cause trouble for you? Go away, ah ah, don’t hit me, wuwu help, ah ah ah my hand, mmmmm…”

Shi Meijing's tragic voice echoed throughout the abandoned factory.

A few minutes later.

The door next door opened, and several kidnappers came out trembling with sticks in their hands, their voices trembling with fear.

"Okay, okay, Master Fang, don't worry. I guarantee that she will have to lie in bed for the rest of her life and won't be able to utter a single word... Master Fang, can we go now?"

Fang Ziyang glanced at the person lying on the ground with a look of fear in his eyes, unable to move or speak, and said calmly, "Get lost."

After these words were spoken, several kidnappers ran away as if they had been pardoned.

Fang Ziyang did not leave immediately, but found a convenient hiding place to hide.

Until Yan Tong, who received the call, came over.

Fang Ziyang knocked the man unconscious from behind, fed him the pregnancy capsules he had obtained from the kidnappers, and then threw the unconscious Yan Tong to a place far away from the abandoned factory and hid him.

Then he returned, with wounds all over his body, and then stumbled out of the abandoned factory...

The other end.

Shi Liangchen, who was walking towards the small park with a nervous smile on his face, suddenly stopped, fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

But it took less than a minute.

Shi Liangchen on the ground woke up again, looked around blankly for a while with confused eyes, as if he suddenly realized something, and an expression of incredible ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Hey, he's back, back to the past... Zi Yang, go find Zi Yang... Wait, what time is it now... September 30, 20XX... How could it be this time? It's too late, two months late..."

Shi Liangchen stared at the phone screen with a crazy expression, his eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was shaking with collapse.
