Ruan Xianxian called out to him to remind him.

"If I were you, I would take a snail-like car and hitch a ride on any train along the Songhu Railway line, no matter where it leads, just to get out of here."

The older comrade who came with you can stay at the hotel and act as a cover.

When the dinner party ended, she appeared drunk, but the conversation inside the room had already been relayed to her by the system.

At first, I didn't pay much attention. What would a prestigious gang like the Hai Gang do with a young man? I didn't take it seriously.

Until someone actually found the place precisely on time using a self-composed sign language.

Thinking of his intelligence, Ruan Xianxian finally remembered Sun Chao, the child prodigy who had been featured in the newspapers and was used by her father to encourage his grandchildren when she was a child.

It's no wonder that some sects wanted to keep him!

In her memory, Haishi was a modern metropolis of the future, but in her grandmother's story, it was a cannibalistic hellhole.

Only those who have experienced it know how powerful the Hai Gang is.

Although decades have passed, and some have died or fled, those who truly remain are the core of an organization.

They're just wearing a disguise, legally and legitimately disregarding human life.

A truly great person will emerge from here in the future.

Ruan Xianxian smiled. How enviable!

My hand was suddenly grabbed. It was early spring, and the night was still chilly, especially as I stood by the river.

"Shall we go? I had someone prepare some wonton noodles for you as a late-night snack before we left. Have something hot when we get back."

Back at the hotel, a young man wearing a beret glared at her fiercely before disappearing into the lobby.

Ruan Xianxian said innocently, "Why is he glaring at me like that!"

"Probably!" Miyano tilted his head. "He's lost someone and is furious?"

After saying that, they both laughed!

With Tongtong around, let alone ordinary people with mediocre skills, even if Old Zhao came, he wouldn't be able to follow her unless he flew through the air. Tongtong generally doesn't look up at the sky unless there's nothing wrong with it.

After returning to their room and having a late-night snack, Ruan Xianxian fell asleep immediately. Gong Ye, however, couldn't sleep and lay on the bed, opening the door a crack to listen to the lively commotion below.

I told Ruan Xianxian about it when I got up early in the morning.

"That old comrade Li is quite a character. He came back around midnight, wasn't he? He was smashing things and yelling, demanding that Yang Fen get his man back."

They said that Comrade Sun, whom he brought, had gone missing, and that Shanghai should be held responsible.

Guess how it is now?

Ruan Xianxian raised an eyebrow, and Gong Ye touched his thin lips.

Is he asking for a reward now?

Ruan Xianxian tiptoed and kissed the man's handsome face, making a loud sound.

Miyano's expression remained unchanged, but a deep smile was revealed in his eyes.

"At first, Yang Fen refused to look for the person outright, until Comrade Li called his superiors and said that the loss of a talent in the aerospace field was no small matter."

The order to search was issued overnight.

"No need to wait, I doubt they can spare anyone to show us the house today."

The facts were pretty much as Miyano had guessed: the two were sitting in the restaurant having breakfast, occasionally teasing the foreign guests.

A distant arguing sound drifted over.

Comrade Li pointed at Yang Fen's nose and started cursing, finally saying, "You didn't hide him, did you? I knew you had ulterior motives."

Yang Fen was even more furious than the other person, "Are you sick in the head? If it's not edible or drinkable, why would I hide it? You brought a mentally challenged person with you who got lost, and who's to blame?"

At the same time, I wondered to myself, "A prodigy? Could he really be mentally challenged? How could someone who's perfectly fine get lost?"

This whole thing is strange. The person just got lost; it's impossible for them not to be found in one night. Could they have fallen into the river?

Seeing the handsome young man and beautiful young woman sitting at the table, Yang Fen's eyes were filled with deep thought and doubt.

Adjusting her expression, she walked over and said, "I'm sorry, as you can see, something urgent happened here. I might have to reschedule the time I promised to show you the Western-style building."

"It's alright, you go ahead with your work. We've received orders to stay in Haicheng for a while. We don't have anything to do, we just have time."

Ruan Xianxian crossed her legs and said, "You idiot."

A strange look appeared on Yang Fen's face, but he quickly recovered and replied naturally, "That would be great. I'll send a driver to show you around."

Places like the Huangpu River, Yu Garden, and Zhujiajiao, which I can't name right now, are worth visiting.

"I went to the Huangpu River last night. Is Yu Garden open now? And Zhujiajiao? I don't think I've ever heard of it!"

Ruan Xianxian rested her chin on her hand and asked Gong Ye, "Are we going?"

"You were on the Huangpu River last night too?" Yang Fen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Did you see Comrade Sun Chao?"

That old man was trying to trick her into revealing more information.

He must know where the hotel car took them last night; avoiding the topic would only make him seem guilty.

“Yes!” Ruan Xianxian readily admitted, “Before I came, I heard that there were small boats on the river that sold local specialties, but I didn’t see any along the way.”

Yang Fen coughed lightly, "Absolutely not, you can't just make things up."

Then, lowering his voice, he said, "If you want to see boating, you can go to Zhujiajiao and some inland waterways."

"Understood!" Ruan Xianxian nodded.

Undeterred, Yang Fen probed again, "The two comrades from Jinan also went to the riverbank last night. You really didn't run into them?"

Ruan Xianxian did not answer the question directly, but instead shed two crocodile tears, her tone filled with worry.

"How could such a healthy person get lost? Could it be... that would be a real sin."

Yang Fen understood her unfinished words; could she have fallen into the river? He was anxious and, without any more pleasantries, hastily gave a few instructions before going to find someone.

In the instant they brushed past each other, Ruan Xianxian's gaze met that of Comrade Li, who nodded slightly with a calm expression.

It is likely that Sun Chao has safely left Haishi.

When someone like that goes on a long trip, it's impossible for him to be without someone secretly protecting him.

Hiding on a slow-moving train is a piece of cake.

The stroke of genius caught Haishi completely off guard. Who would have thought that it would come in good condition but then run away halfway through?

Ruan Xianxian couldn't help but wonder, what would have happened if Sun Chao hadn't run away?

They will most likely be recruited by Shanghai using both soft and hard tactics.

A stubborn bastard? I reckon they'll make sure he's never been recorded again, and he'll be permanently confined to one place until he's completely drained.

But given Sun Chao's intelligence, once he realizes something is amiss, he will most likely feign cooperation and stay here for a while under the guise of learning and exchange.

During this period, you can't leave without leaving something real behind.

If we don't keep them, we'll just let them languish. After a year, new talents will emerge, and even geniuses need to keep up with the times. When the old generation returns after two years of being out of the spotlight, they will be swept away by the new generation.

Having figured all this out, Ruan Xianxian clicked her tongue.

When it was unknown and unknown, Haishi was the starting point of dreams.

Once you reach a certain height, this place becomes an absolute meat grinder for training.

I'm getting more and more excited!

The two spent the day out and visited three scenic spots recommended by the driver.

It is indeed different from the scenery of Beijing.

In the lobby, Yang Fen looked unfriendly, while Old Li sat dejectedly in a corner of the sofa.

"What happened?" Ruan Xianxian, who had just returned from playing all day, asked with concern.

Yang Fen slapped the armrest, spitting as he spoke, "What's wrong? It's just that a perfectly normal person would abandon their post and try to hitch a ride on a train in the middle of the night, what else could it be?"
