They didn't even bother to add a single extra punctuation mark.
Then I replied to the Jack of Spades: I was a bit busy today and didn't notice the messages over there.
Jack of Spades: Sister Li, what are you busy with? I went back to China yesterday, can't you really find time to meet me?
Li Ruan thought about it. She had known her friend for five years. Although she had disappeared for three years in between, their relationship was still quite good. Meeting up wouldn't be out of the question.
After all, she had promised to meet him before the accident, so let's meet.
LI: I'm at the film studio. If it's inconvenient for you, let's talk when I get back to Longcheng.
The Jack of Spades sent a laughing emoji: Sister Li, don't you know my home is in S City?!
LI: You're not in S City right now, are you?
Jack of Spades: That's right. Give me your exact address, and I'll come find you right away.
Li Ruan sent the address and left her personal number before leaving it.
Since her phone had two SIM cards, she installed two SIM cards: one she had been using before and the other a new one. She gave the new number to the Jack of Spades.
Five minutes later, Tuo finally sent a helpless emoji, followed by a long string of English, the gist of which was that the bonus application wouldn't be approved so quickly, it was just a mere 500,000 M gold, why were they afraid he would run away?
The mission to capture international criminals looks glamorous, but the reward is not much. Fortunately, it doesn't take her long, so she can just consider it helping a friend.
That's $500,000! But in their mouths, it's just "no big deal" or "just let it go." There are so many rich people in the world, can't we add her to the list?
Forget it, she couldn't afford to get angry with them. She needed to work hard for her next $500,000.
...
At midnight, in the quiet underground parking lot of the hotel, occasional kicks and groans could be heard. "Run! Why aren't you running anymore? Our boss said he wants your life. Do you think you can escape?"
Luo Jiaxing lay sprawled on the ground, his face already unkempt, now bruised and battered beyond recognition. His eyes were swollen shut, and he had a knife wound on his leg from which blood was still flowing. His expensive camera had been smashed to pieces.
His vision was already blurry, and he couldn't make out the faces of the people around him.
But he still forced his eyes open and glared at the group of thugs standing in front of him. "Didn't you say... you wanted my life? If you have the guts, give me a quick death." He couldn't let him catch his breath.
His voice was broken and his breathing was extremely loud, clearly indicating that he had been badly beaten; these people really wanted him dead.
"Heh, you want a quick death? Dream on! Go, break his legs first, so he can't run away, then we can play with him slowly." He's just an orphan, nobody will even look for him if he dies. Dealing with someone like that is no problem for them.
The man's henchman walked over with a stick, and just as the stick was about to fall, a clear female voice suddenly rang out, "Oh, have I stumbled upon a murder scene?"
The man was so startled by the sudden sound that he nearly dropped the iron rod in his hand!
The empty underground parking lot fell silent for a moment.
When Luo Jiaxing, who was half-beaten to death, heard this voice, he felt as if a ray of light had suddenly appeared in his dark world. Even though he couldn't see what the person standing not far away looked like, his heart was filled with gratitude.
Anyone who isn't a fool would have run far away in this situation, but the person in front of me stepped forward at this moment. No, I can't let her be implicated because of me.
"You, run, run..." Don't lose your life because of someone like me.
The leader laughed arrogantly, "Trying to run? Hahaha... What a pipe dream!"
The girl in front of them was wearing a long white shirt that reached her upper thighs, light gray wide-leg pants, and white sneakers. Her waist-length hair was simply draped over her shoulders. Considering what she had just said, she appeared to the group of thugs in black as a somewhat naive and clueless high school student.
No, she's a beautiful, naive high school girl!
Such a beautiful woman has come knocking on their door. If they send her to the boss, they'll definitely reap huge benefits!
Li Ruan smiled and said, "But I don't want to leave, because I've already called the police. The police will arrive at the scene in about a minute."
Take my advice: if a crime is stopped and no harm is caused, punishment may be waived.
"If harm is caused, the punishment may be reduced; however, if you continue to commit crimes, even if it is ultimately an attempted crime, you can still be sentenced."
The thugs in black: Damn it, where did this silly girl come from? She actually came here to lecture them on the law?
"Let's take this girl with us. Who told her to be so blind as to run into us?"
The thugs, having received their orders, were about to move forward to arrest the person when suddenly, a very urgent police siren blared out. The men in black's expressions changed drastically. "Damn! She really called the police! Get out of here!"
In a flash, seven or eight burly men in black fled and disappeared into the underground parking lot in no time.
Li Ruan, the hero, rescued the rough man and intended to leave immediately. However, Luo Jiaxing was too badly injured, and he fainted as soon as the thugs left.
What else can we do?
What if those people find out she didn't call the police and come back to kill her? Wouldn't all her efforts have been wasted?
He searched Luo Jiaxing's body and, as expected, found a car key. He pressed the unlock button, and the sound of the car unlocking came from not far away.
Li Ruan picked up Luo Jiaxing and headed straight for the Land Rover. After putting her down, she kindly picked up the broken camera and put it back in the car. The other person had left in such a hurry that they hadn't taken the memory card, which might contain something important.
The hospital wasn't far from the hotel, only about a ten-minute drive. We put the person in the passenger seat, fastened their seatbelt, and headed to the hospital immediately.
When the car was halfway there, Li Ruan's phone rang. Seeing that it was an unlisted number, Li Ruan knew it was Black Spade J calling. She answered immediately: "Wait for me a moment, there's been a little accident."
She said something on the other end, and after a quick "hmm," she hung up.
Luo Jiaxing lay on the back seat, feeling drowsy. Apart from the voice that had just saved him from danger, his last memory before losing consciousness was of the girl's beautiful earlobe.
Li Ruan helped Luo Jiaxing with the hospital admission procedures and found a caregiver before leaving. It was an hour later when she returned to the hotel.
He dialed the number of the Jack of Spades and said, "I'm back. Where are you?"
"Go straight to room 1610 on the 16th floor, I'll be waiting for you, my dear Sister Li."
"Okay, I'm coming up now."
Soon, Li Ruan took the elevator to the 16th floor and knocked on the door of room 1610.
